Chapter 213: Each Drunk
Chapter 214: Each Drunk
Walking into the apartment arranged for him by the company, Wen Ning instantly took off all his disguises.
Wen Ning took off his coat and without turning on the lights, he just leaned quietly on the sofa. In front of him were the lights of other people's homes. He was a lonely stranger, and a feeling of loneliness gradually filled his heart.
"Click!" Isa walked in dragging a tray and turning on the light.
"Do you want to starve yourself to death? Please, even if you want to die, you must wait until I step down, otherwise I can't bear the responsibility."
After saying that, she put the tray in her hand on the table unhappily, and Wen Ning saw a dinner and some pills.
"Alas, if the elites in the United States saw you in this desperate state, they would definitely not believe that you were the powerful Henry."
But Wen Ning seemed not to hear her teasing and continued to stare out the window in a daze.
Isa hated Wen Ning the most. He walked over and kicked his leg. "Don't forget to call Jennifer back later. She asked about you today."
Wen Ning, who was as thin as a sculpture, finally took action after hearing these words. He slowly stood up from the sofa, walked to the table, ate the dinner on the plate as easily as chewing wax, and then drank the medicine on the table in one gulp.
"I see."
Seeing his lifeless appearance, Isa didn't want to say anything more and walked out of the door with a twisted waist.
"Oh, by the way, I have an appointment tonight. You can go to the company by yourself tomorrow and have a rest early, President Wen."
As the door closed, the room fell into silence again. Wen Ning irritably tore off his tie, then picked up the satellite phone and dialed a fixed number.
The voice of a young lady came from the other end of the phone. Although she was concerned about Wen Ning's work and life here, there was still a hint of ambiguity and joy in her words.
"Hi, Ning, how do you feel about returning to your homeland? Have you encountered any troubles at work? If so, please tell me and I will do my best to help you. Also, be sure to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor on time. I feel more at ease knowing that Isa is by your side to take care of you."
Wen Ning, however, had no expression on his face and answered mechanically like a puppet, "Thank you, Jennifer. I am doing fine here and the company's affairs are proceeding as planned. Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you. I am in good health. Thank you for your concern. I will deal with the company's affairs as soon as possible."
Hearing Wen Ning's businesslike tone, the woman opposite seemed a little unhappy, "Ning, we have already said this between us, why are you still being so polite to me?"
She was met with silence. This conversation was somewhat awkward, so Jennifer quickly changed the subject. "By the way, I heard from Isa that you met a lady today. A very special lady?"
Although Wen Ning knew that Isa was sent by Jennifer to monitor him, he did not expect such a small thing to reach her ears. Thinking that he had just returned and many things were not resolved, exposing Fang Qing to them so early would be disadvantageous to both him and Fang Qing. Wen Ning's eyes were dim, and he denied it with a faint smile.
"Ah, it's just a partner I met today. It will be helpful for the next strategic deployment, so I met him in person. What's the problem?"
Jennifer didn't dare to interfere too much in Wen Ning's affairs on the mainland, so she had to say that she was just curious.
The topic came to a standstill again. Wen Ning rubbed his brows tiredly, "Anything else? You should also go to bed early."
Jennifer felt a little awkward holding the phone, but was afraid of causing Wen Ning's disgust, so she could only hang up the phone with a smile. However, she turned around and called the butler, asking him to send someone to check the specific information of the woman who met Wen Ning today.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Ning leaned back on the sofa and recalled what happened when he met Fang Qing today.
She was thinner, but more lively. She had lost her youthfulness and now had a hint of determination between her brows, giving her the demeanor of a general.
"It seems that I have suffered a lot in the past two years..."
Looking at the lights outside the window, Wen Ning closed his eyes, and all he could see was Fang Qing's every smile and frown today.
"It seems that you are doing well. I feel relieved."
Wen Ning smiled softly while talking to himself, but there was a hint of bitterness in that smile that he himself did not understand.
Remembering the information Fang Qing had brought today, Wen Ning began to slowly flip through it under the soft light of the room. In many of the designs, he could find the characteristic elements of Fang Qing's original designs.
Wen Ning's eyes were full of tenderness. His girl really became stronger as he thought. But he didn't know if he could still be worthy of Fang Qing who was so powerful now.
The lights of thousands of homes in the city reflect everyone's joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.
In another villa in the same city, Fang Qing was sitting on the sofa with a glass of red wine in his hand, complaining to Qin Xue about his experience today.
"Xiaoxue, how can I be so useless? I hated him so much back then, and swore to beat him up when I saw him, but today, he is standing right in front of me. Not only can I not remember that, but my brain is also out of control, and I can't help but want to look at him more. Don't you think I am a slut?"
Holding a wine glass, Fang Qing was already lying on the sofa, her face reeking of alcohol. Qin Xue couldn't help but comfort her when she saw her like this.
"Stop drinking. You've already had a bottle. I can't drink any more than you can. When you first came here, you didn't drink at all. How come you've become an alcoholic in such a short time? You can't play with Arya and the others anymore. You're still drinking at such a young age!"
Qin Xue wanted to snatch the cup from Fang Qing's hand, but Fang Qing, who seemed drunk, was extremely agile and climbed up in one go.
"Just let me drink. I'm really feeling bad today. You don't know. The moment I saw him, my mind went blank. I had no idea how to react. I didn't even know how I sat on the chair."
Thinking about what had just happened, Fang Qing drank the wine in the glass.
"Today, I changed into new clothes to meet this important client. If I knew it was him, I wouldn't dress up so carefully, as if I had prepared it specially for him..."
Qin Xue looked at Fang Qing, who was obviously talking more than usual, sighed, and walked over to sit next to her.
"Okay, you did a good job, didn't you? We've discussed the work, and we've met the person respectfully. If you feel uncomfortable in the future, you can just not meet him."
But Fang Qing suddenly leaned on her shoulder and wailed, "But I can fool others but not myself! When I saw his face, I couldn't help but want to ask him why he abandoned me and why he lied to me. I even hoped that he might explain it to me and that he had his own reasons. But do you know? When he went to meet me today, there was a blonde beauty beside him. They were flirting with each other. Their relationship is definitely not ordinary. What should I do..."
Qin Xue rubbed Fang Qing's long hair and lowered her eyes.
It seems that I have to meet this Wen Ning.
