Shortly after Yang Shushu left Muyuan Group in the afternoon, she received a call, so her car turned halfway and headed in the opposite direction of Hanhai Building.
The private hospital located halfway up the mountain was very quiet, and the environment was more conducive to recuperation. When Yang Shushu came in, she saw Zuo Jinheng sitting on the lawn outside the hospital basking in the sun.
He asked the security guard to let her in, and he walked slowly towards her. In the sunlight, his smile was bright and without any shadow, but his eyes were deeper and more serious than any time he had seen them before.
"So you're recuperating here. I was worried about whether your family could find you..."
Before she could finish her words, Zuo Jinheng suddenly hugged her from the front. For just a few seconds, he said, "Thank you, and I'm sorry."
After saying that, he immediately let go. The two stood facing each other. Yang Shushu was stunned for a moment, then smiled frankly: "Well, how are you going to repay your savior?"
"Promise yourself to me?" He smiled, his eyes deep.
Yang Shushu gave him a look of polite deference: "Okay, please let me go."
After saying that, she looked around and took a few square steps: "The environment here is quite good, and you look in good spirits. When are you planning to make a comeback?"
Zuo Jinheng turned around and walked side by side with her on the lawn. "Maybe I'll retire indefinitely. I think... I should move behind the scenes."
Yang Shushu was a little surprised: "Transferring to behind the scenes? That's such a shame, your acting skills are the treasure of the entertainment industry."
"But I don't want to hurt the important people around me again, and I don't want to experience the fear of loss again." He looked at her, his smile was not as carefree as before, but mixed with something else.
Yang Shushu didn't pay attention to it. She just thought that he was afraid of bringing trouble to his family and afraid of encountering that kind of pervert again. It was understandable, but understanding is understanding.
"Alas, although this is your own business, I still feel it's a pity."
"Do you like watching my movies?"
"That's right. Although I can't say I've seen every episode like other fans, I think I've seen most of them."
"I can act it out for you alone," he said, with a half smile.
Yang Shushu just took it as a joke. It was someone else's personal decision, so she couldn't say much.
"I'm relieved to see you're okay. This place is quite far. I came here on my trolley. It's inconvenient to go back any later. I'm leaving now."
As she spoke, she waved her hand. Zuo Jinheng suddenly reached out and grabbed her bandaged hand, bringing it to his eyes. "You scratched yourself while moving rocks that night, didn't you?"
Yang Shushu stared at his sudden serious expression in astonishment: "Ah, it's okay, just a minor injury, it's almost healed, it's just that Mu Shicang is making a fuss."
When mentioning Mu Shicang, Zuo Jinheng's hand paused for a moment, and finally he slowly closed his eyes and slowly loosened his hand: "I heard... that night you had a narrow escape from death. If it weren't for... you might... In fact, you should hate me, after all, it was me who got you into trouble."
"Oh my god, idol, in your heart I wouldn't be so confused about right and wrong, right? Why should I hate you? It's not your fault, haha, please don't be like this, I'm a little uncomfortable with it." I'm used to him always smiling and looking like he doesn't care about anything, but I'm really not used to him suddenly looking so serious and regretful.
Zuo Jinheng looked at her and smiled helplessly: "Remember, if Mu Shicang bullies you in the future, come to me. Anyway, I owe him so much, why not just owe him to death, and I will help you deal with him."
"Okay, I'd like to thank my idol first."
………………
Not long after Yang Shushu left, a man came. When Zuo Jinheng saw him, he called out, "Second Brother."
Zuo Jinyong waved his hand, then glanced back: "I think I saw Mrs. Mu from the Mu family just now? Is she here to see you?"
Zuo Jinheng smiled but said nothing. Zuo Jinyong walked over to him and patted his shoulder. "I understand what you're thinking, but you can't be blamed entirely for this. After all, no one wants this to happen. Besides, Mu Shicang's misunderstanding of our family has never been resolved. You should have less contact with his people in the future to avoid adding insult to injury."
"Brother, I understand." Zuo Jinheng nodded, then asked, "By the way, how's the investigation going on with what I asked you to investigate?"
Zuo Jinyong's expression changed slightly, revealing confusion: "It's a bit strange. The Ji family's power has always been in the south. This time, they sent Ji Delu here, seemingly looking for someone. I heard that it was Mr. Ji's long-lost granddaughter? But why he was with Mu Shicang that day, I don't know. After all, Mu Shicang has kept the whole process secret."
At this point, Zuo Jinyong asked him suspiciously, "Jin Heng, why are you checking on Ji Delu?"
Zuo Jinheng smiled and said, "Nothing, just curious."
As he spoke, he clenched his fists. The Ji family, looking for someone, had a strange attitude—
"But speaking of this Ji Delu, it's quite interesting. I heard that Mrs. Xiaomu worked in the advertising company he played with for only two or three days, but he was so nervous that he followed Mu Shicang to rescue people. I also heard that Mu Shicang was framed by the second young master of the Ma family, and the second master Mu wanted to take the opportunity to push him down. Mrs. Xiaomu arrived and stabilized the situation. As an outsider at the time, Ji Delu stood on Mrs. Xiaomu's side without hesitation. Do you think he really values Mu Shicang that much? Or is he really that sentimental towards Mrs. Xiaomu... Ha... He doesn't look like a sentimental person."
Zuo Ershao was a serious boss in the company, but his gossipy nature was exposed when he was in front of his family.
Zuo Jinheng's expression grew uglier the more he listened. Who on earth was this Ji Delu?
…………………………
Yang Shushu's car had just come out of a private hospital in the suburbs and had not yet entered the city when it ran out of battery. She was a little worried and wanted to call Mu Shicang to pick her up.
But she didn't want Mu Shicang to know that she was going to see Zuo Jinheng. After all, he had a grudge against the Zuo family. But it was time to get off work, and she couldn't even get a taxi. The bus probably wouldn't accept the ticket she bought for the tram.
She grabbed the phone and decided to call Yang Li.
Just as she was about to dial the number, a car pulled up beside her and Ling Xiao's face appeared: "Shushu? Is it really you?"
Yang Shushu nodded in a daze, not expecting to meet him here.
"What's wrong?" Ling Xiao parked the car in the temporary parking lane, got out and asked.
"Oh, the car's out of battery."
"It's getting off work now, so it's hard to get a taxi. How about I take you home?" Ling Xiao asked in a questioning tone, but his hand was already on her handlebars.
Yang Shushu thought about it and realized that it was indeed difficult to get a taxi. She didn't know how long it would take to ask Yang Li to come over. Anyway, it was just a ride. She could ask him to drop her off somewhere in the city and then call Mu Shicang to come. That way, she wouldn't have to explain why she was in the suburbs.
"Okay then. Thank you for your help."
Yang Shushu nodded, and Ling Xiao's face showed a rare big smile that was inconsistent with his usual temperament.
