Hear this life

"We three have things to do. Cousin, you and Xiaowen go first." Then, Zhao Qingluo mustered up the courage to walk behind Lu Shicheng, "Mr. Lu, could you please write a few recommendation letters for us? The three of us have all applied to Hujiang. I heard that if we have a recommendation letter from alumni, it will increase our impression points a little bit."

Lu Shicheng took out the pen from his pocket, but couldn't find any paper to write on. Wen Tingli hurriedly took out her own notebook from her school bag and handed it to him.

Lu Shicheng glanced at her. It seemed that she had not reviewed the words again after the exam. This time the notebook was very clean. He quickly wrote a line of words on it.

[Writing recommendation letters for the three of you individually would be unfair to other students in the same grade, so I regret that I cannot agree to your request.]

Zhao Qingluo and Yan Zhenzhen were suddenly speechless. They were good at speaking, but they were obviously more restrained than usual in front of this young school director.

"But if someone asks other alumni to write a recommendation letter for them at this time, wouldn't that be unfair to us?" Wen Tingli asked the most worrying question on behalf of her companions.

[As far as I know, Hujiang will not give extra points to a student just because of a recommendation letter. Even if it is recommended by a well-known alumnus, it can only influence a professor's impression of you at most. As long as you can get online, you don't have to worry about these.]

Zhao Qingluo and Yan Zhenzhen looked relieved.

[Anything else?] Lu Shicheng looked at them.

"No more." The two said happily. Although they failed to get a letter of recommendation, Lu Shicheng's words made them feel a lot more at ease.

Wen Tingli was only thinking about the situation at the dinner party. Judging from the situation, there was most likely something wrong with Zhu Zihe. And judging from what Principal Zou said, Lu Shicheng would meet with Zhu Zihe frequently in the future.

If such a smart woman was really sent by the White Dragon Gang, no one could guarantee what would happen next. But she had no evidence at the moment, and if she rashly went to tell Principal Zou and Lu Shicheng that Zhu Zihe was not right, they would only think she was making up rumors.

But - in a few days, Lu Shicheng will meet Zhu Zihe at Principal Zou's house, and the White Dragon Gang is best at assassination - no! She has to stop this person from meeting Lu Shicheng frequently before she finds out Zhu Zihe's motives.

Suddenly, she saw a newsstand not far away, and an idea struck her. She pretended to be anxious and said, "Look at me, I just forgot to ask Xiaowen about her summer job. I heard that there are many traps in those job advertisements in the newspaper. I dare not go unless it is recommended by an acquaintance."

"Are you still thinking about finding a temporary job?" Yan Zhenzhen said.

"You know how difficult it is for Wen Tingli right now." Zhao Qingluo looked at her watch. "It's too late today. How about I ask for you tomorrow?"

"I'll call Xiaowen myself tomorrow to ask. I'm free in the morning and evening. I can be a tutor, dishwasher, newspaper deliveryman...any legitimate job I can do."

While saying this, Wen Tingli glanced at Lu Shicheng from time to time.

Lu Shicheng was too steady and too quiet. No matter what she said, he just waited quietly for his car. She couldn't help feeling a little discouraged. She had already used his car and asked about the recommendation letter. If she found another excuse to talk to Lu Shicheng, it might cause him to be disgusted.

After a while, the Lu family's car arrived and Lu Shicheng left.

The more uneasy Wen Tingli was, the less she dared to show it on her face. She just waved to him politely along with the other two classmates, "Goodbye, Mr. Lu."

When getting on the car, Lu Shicheng suddenly looked back. Wen Tingli was delighted, thinking that he was going to find her a temporary job in the name of the school. However, Lu Shicheng tilted his head slightly, and his eyes passed by her cheek and fell directly on Xiao Taozi behind her.

He made a serious "goodbye" gesture to Xiao Taozi before getting in the car.

Wen Tingli was dumbfounded. It just so happened that children were the most susceptible to this. For several days afterwards, Xiao Taozi kept muttering "Mr. Lu..."

That afternoon, Wen Tingli was lying on the spring bed in the ward reading a newspaper, and she heard Xiao Taozi mumbling these words again.

She couldn't help but make a face at Xiao Taozi: "Xiao Taozi...can you please stop nagging me? My ears are going to get calluses."

Little Taozi patted her round belly, put her face close to her sister, and uttered three words very softly: "Be polite~~"

Mrs. Zhou laughed so hard that she fell backwards, and Wen Tingli also laughed so hard that she pounded the bed. After finally stopping her laughter, Mrs. Zhou wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "You know what, Xiao Taozi has been talking much more casually these past two days than usual. What is Mr. Lu like? Is he a very kind person?"

Hearing the three words "Mr. Lu", Wen Tingli became upset again.

A few days ago, she received a notice from the management department of Xinxin Department Store that she had successfully passed the first round of screening and the preliminary round would be held next Monday night.

In order to compete with Xinxin, Yifeilin also scheduled the preliminary rounds at the same time. In the past few days, in order to create momentum, the two companies have published photos of their respective contestants in major newspapers.

Yi Feilinte placed a large photo of Zhu Zihe in the middle of the newspaper. Her extremely beautiful face, coupled with titles such as "famous painter" and "talented man with beautiful eyebrows", immediately caused quite a stir among the people.

But Wen Tingli knew that this was far from enough. If she were Zhu Zihe, she would definitely use the meal at Principal Zou's house to get closer to Lu Shicheng. Their mothers were classmates, and there was Principal Zou who was nostalgic and sentimental. During the meal, she would not worry about not being able to attract Lu Shicheng to Yifeilin to show her support.

The Lu family has always been regarded as a weathervane by the business community. Once Lu Shicheng publicly supports the contestants of Yifeilin, other businesses will most likely turn around. The Gao family will then strike while the iron is hot and do some publicity. Xinxin Department Store, which was originally a sure win, may be overshadowed by Yifeilin. During this period, Zhu Zihe and Lu Shicheng will become more familiar with each other due to their frequent visits. It will not be difficult for Zhu Zihe to plot against Lu Shicheng or use her feelings to seduce him.

This chess game is really brilliant! Wen Tingli sighed. It's no wonder that the White Dragon Gang has been rampant in Shanghai for many years. The fact that Cao Zhenyuan was able to find a fairy-like figure like Zhu Zihe to get close to Lu Shicheng shows how good this man is at scheming.

However, she still couldn't believe that such an outstanding woman would willingly work for the White Dragon Gang. She really wanted to ask Zhu Zihe in person whether she was being coerced?

Wen Tingli was anxious, but she had not lost her mind. In any case, the party at Principal Zou's house was an important opportunity, and the best way at the moment was for her to also be a member of the lunch at Principal Zou's house, so that she could act according to the situation at the table.

So the first thing she did after that night was to go back to her alma mater to find Michelle.

Michelle refused outright: "The school's summer financial aid is only for students who have not yet graduated. You have already graduated and are not eligible."

Wen Tingli liked what he said, and she used it as an excuse to go find Principal Zou.

Principal Zou took the lead and said, "Leave this to the Student Affairs Department. I'll ask them to find you a reliable summer job. I'll have Director Liu call you as soon as I have any news."

Wen Tingli was naturally very grateful. Seeing Principal Zou watering the flowers with a kettle in front of the windowsill, she rolled up her sleeves and went over to help.

She worked very hard, and after an hour, every corner of the room was cleaned and sparkled.

Principal Zou held up his glasses and looked around: "Wonderful, incredible, my good boy! You are too diligent! Enough, enough, sit down and have a drink of water first."

Wen Tingli said cheerfully while watering the flowers: "I have finished reading the books you gave me last time. I benefited a lot from them. Unfortunately, I don't see any similar books in the school library. I wonder if I can borrow a few more books from you to read at home."

"How difficult is that? Come to my house someday and I'll sort out a dozen books from my study and give them to you."

"But you are busy at school on weekdays, so how about this Sunday——"

"Not this Sunday." Principal Zou smiled and shook his head. "I have a small family gathering that day. Other than that day, any other time is fine."

Wen Tingli sighed secretly. Even at this point, Principal Zou still did not forget his arrangements, which showed that he attached great importance to this gathering. Even if she "happened" to visit him, Principal Zou would not invite her to dinner.

Since she couldn't have dinner at the Zou family, she could only stop Lu Shicheng from going... Fortunately, she still had a week to plan. As soon as she came out of the principal's office, she called Gao Xiaowen in a hurry.

In just half a day, Gao Xiaowen helped Wen Tingli get two good summer jobs.

The first job was as a switchboard operator at Exelon & Co. near the school, working from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The other was as a newspaper deliveryman, working from 5:30 a.m., and the pay was only four cents.

The common point between the two jobs is that they are not far from Lu Mansion.

"It's okay to be a switchboard operator, but I really don't understand why you want to be a newspaper deliveryman. You've heard the wages, it's really not worth it. Besides, you're going to Xinxin White Tiger to participate in the preliminary competition next week."

"I asked Xinxin's manager, and he said that both the preliminary and final rounds will be held in the evening, so there is no conflict in time. In addition, the heroine of my play once worked as a newspaper delivery worker to make a living. Manager Huang is worried that I don't have enough acting experience, so he specifically told me to do similar odd jobs to gain experience. The key point is that you also said that they agreed to daily wages. Anyway, I have nothing to do these few days, so I can earn a day's wages as much as I can."

She thanked Gao Xiaowen on the phone, then quickly ran to Yan Zhenzhen's house to borrow an unused bicycle. After returning, she called Li Chengying to discuss the entire plan, then found a set of short-sleeved shirt and long pants and prepared to get up early to go to work the next day.

Last time, she had used various tricks to get close to Lu Shicheng, so this time she had to take a risky move. Newspapers were a habit in every household, and the Lu Mansion was no exception. As long as she became a newspaper delivery worker, she could visit the Lu Mansion once a day in broad daylight. With the foreshadowing of that night, Lu Shicheng would probably not be too surprised to see her delivering newspapers as a part-time job.

However, it seemed as if God was determined to facilitate the meal between Lu Shicheng and Zhu Zihe. That afternoon, Li Chengying suddenly called and said, "The plan has changed. Lu Shicheng has not lived in the Lu Mansion these days. We have to find another way."

Wen Tingli almost dropped her jaw in shock: "He's not in Shanghai?"

"Yes, but I heard from the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce that Kuang Zhilin is ill. There are many things over there that need to be taken care of by Lu Shicheng himself. Lu Shicheng is probably too busy to go back to the Lu Mansion. The Lu family has always been cautious. If we send a car to follow Lu Shicheng's car, he will definitely be discovered by the other party. But don't worry, I will find out where he is staying as soon as possible. If it really doesn't work, we will change the location of the operation to near Principal Zou's residence."

"But Principal Zou's home is not within my newspaper delivery route, and I have already sounded out Principal Zou. If I showed up near her home for no reason that day, not only would Lu Shicheng be suspicious, but Principal Zou would also suspect that I had ulterior motives when she thinks about the cause and effect. And, that jerk named Qiu - wait, Sister Li, you just said Kuang Zhilin was sick?"

"You suspect Lu Shicheng is currently living in Kuang Zhilin's apartment?" Li Chengying said with a smile, "We have considered this, but we don't know where Kuang Zhilin lives. He is a very mysterious person. Not only has he never entertained guests at home, but he also has many apartments in Shanghai. If we follow him everywhere, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Wen Tingli said confidently: "I am 80% sure! I will tell you an address, you can send someone there immediately. If you can confirm that Lu Shicheng is there, we will proceed according to the original plan."

In the evening, Li Chengying replied to Wen Tingli with full conviction: "You guessed it right." Wen Tingli immediately called Gao Xiaowen and asked her to change the delivery range.

"...Don't be angry. I'm not acting on impulse. I've thought it through. The school is too far from Cixin Hospital. I'm afraid Mrs. Zhou won't be able to take care of her alone in the hospital. The editor-in-chief is someone you know, and we're from the same newspaper. Can you help me change it? I wouldn't dare ask anyone else, but you're the one who knows the solution."

Gao Xiaowen loved being praised for her ability, so she immediately said, "Okay, okay, I'll take care of it, but you have to do me a favor too."

She said mysteriously, "Once our company's powder box is designed, you can use it in front of the camera when you are filming a movie. Just let people see the brand name, and that will be considered advertising for my company. You must do this for me! I know you have a lot of ideas. There are so many shots in a movie, you must be able to find a way to advertise for me."

Wen Tingli smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll try."

Gao Xiaowen was indeed very resourceful. That night, she helped Wen Tingli change the delivery range to the vicinity of Ci Xin Hospital.

The next day, Wen Tingli went to work before dawn. It was her first time delivering newspapers, so it was inevitable that she would encounter some problems. Fortunately, she had lived nearby since she was a child, so despite the hustle and bustle, she received her wages for the day without any trouble.

After receiving her wages, Wen Tingli became more motivated. Although the money was not much, it was enough to cover her daily food. Besides making money, she had more important tasks to do. Every time she passed Ganjia Lane, she would stop her bicycle and look around.

She remembered the time when she was blocked by Qiu Dapeng and his men in Ganjia Lane. She had no choice but to call Mr. Kuang's apartment, and the person who answered the phone was Lu Shicheng.

Since he was able to come to her rescue so quickly, Mr. Kuang’s residence must be near Ganjia Lane.

Sure enough, that night Li Chengying's men waited for the Lu family's car in front of one of the Spanish-style buildings in Ganjia Lane.

Looking at the delivery address, this one is written as "Mr. Chen".

Wen Tingli happily picked up her pen and circled the address. She finally figured out where Kuang Zhilin lived!

From then on, she would pay extra attention every time she delivered newspapers to this family. Kuang Zhilin's daily life was very regular, and the doorman would come out on time to pick up the newspapers at seven o'clock every morning. Unfortunately, after delivering newspapers for several days in a row, she had never "accidentally met" Lu Shicheng at the door.

Wen Tingli couldn't help but feel anxious, but fortunately on Saturday, Li Chengying replied: Lu Shicheng has been staying at Kuang Zhilin's place every night these days, and everything has been arranged.

Wen Tingli felt relieved and went to bed early that night.

At the same time, Qiu Lingyun from Qiu Mansion jumped up from the sofa because of a phone call.

"Did you see clearly? Is it really Wen Tingli?"

I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but Qiu Lingyun's mouth curled up into an extremely evil smile: "Got it."

After hanging up the phone, he crossed his legs happily and put out his cigarette with a faint smile on his face. Qiu Dapeng came in and saw his son's expression and sneered, "What are you thinking about again?"

"Son, let me tell you a joke. Today, Chang San and his friends saw Wen Tingli delivering newspapers on the street. She had high aspirations, but how did she fall to this state? No, I have to see her miserable state with my own eyes."

"Look at your lack of ability!" Qiu Dapeng scolded, "Have you completed all the tasks assigned to you by Gang Leader Cao?"

Qiu Lingyun's neck shrank: "It's all done."

Qiu Dapeng came close and gave him a slap. "Is it done just because it's done? That's what dad taught you. You have to do it well enough to please Gang Leader Cao! Back then, your dad and I fled from Nanjing to Shanghai together with Wen Desheng. So many years have passed, and Wen Desheng has only been able to do a small business, but your dad and I have been promoted step by step. What is the basis for this? It is the ability to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all sides. When your dad and I are given a task, I always consider it done better than others. You should learn this skill from me!"

"understood……"

Qiu Dapeng turned around while cursing, and accidentally saw a newspaper on the coffee table. He picked it up and took a look. At the top was the news of the competition between Xinxin Department Store and Yifeilin. He saw Wen Tingli's photo on the list of contestants and snorted coldly, "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. What's the point of delivering the newspaper? She will suffer endlessly in the future!"

"How do you want to deal with Wen Tingli?" Qiu Lingyun looked defensive.

"Your father doesn't have the time. Have you seen this Zhu Zihe? She is Lu Shicheng's new love. Thanks to Wen Tingli who repeatedly used the Lu family's name, she didn't fancy him at all." He said with a gloating smile, "Back then, she even refused to follow Meng Qiguang. Now she knows what it means to draw water with a bamboo basket!"

Looking back and seeing his son's pleased face, Qiu Dapeng spat, "Listen to me, this time Mr. Lu's matter is extremely important. If we handle it well, our father and son will be able to rise to prominence in no time. If we mess it up, we may even suffer heavy casualties. No matter what Gang Leader Cao tells you to do in the next few days, you must concentrate on doing it!"***
At night, Wen Tingli vaguely heard the sound of pouring rain in her sleep. She got up at five o'clock and looked out the window. The rain had not stopped and it was all white outside the window.

She deliberately went out without eating breakfast.

Mrs. Zhou followed her out and said, "Don't fall down in this heavy rain. Otherwise, Mrs. Zhou will deliver newspapers for you today and you can stay in the ward and take care of Xiao Taozi."

"You don't know the way." Wen Tingli took the awning, "Don't worry, I won't fall."

As soon as she went out, raindrops fell heavily, and her bangs were all wet. She tried to open her eyes and look forward, but she couldn't tell east, south, west or north. She raised her hand to wipe her face, and the next wave of raindrops came again.

If she continued like this, she would miss the time. Wen Tingli gritted her teeth, wrapped her raincoat tightly around her and rushed out.

After one trip, my collar, head and face were almost soaked. Fortunately, I was familiar with the road and didn't have to look up all the time to find my way.

Because of the heavy rain, they arrived at Kuang Zhilin's residence half an hour later than usual. The doorman was probably impatient and was waiting at the door. Wen Tingli parked the car while saying "sorry", picked up the pile of newspapers wrapped in oil paper in the rain, and hurriedly delivered them to the door. Unexpectedly, the ground was too slippery and she accidentally fell.

"Ouch." She screamed deliberately.

The girl's voice was so clear that even though the rain was loud, her screams of pain were clearly heard into the house.

The concierge picked up an umbrella at his feet and hurried down the stairs: "Be careful, little girl."

Later, when the doorman returned to the room, Kuang Zhilin asked at the dining table, "Who is that outside?"

"The girl who delivers newspapers has been here for almost a week. She is usually talkative and cheerful. But she came out to deliver newspapers today even in such a heavy rain. I can see that she is soaked like a drowned rat. She looks so pitiful." The doorman carefully wiped off the mud spots on the oil paper with a wet cloth.

When Kuang Zhilin was about to speak, Lu Shicheng had already walked to the window, opened it and looked out.

In the pouring rain, Wen Tingli was trying to pick up the bicycle on the ground. Kuang Zhilin looked at her and was a little surprised: "Miss Wen? I said the voice just now sounded so familiar."

Wen Tingli wiped the raindrops off her face and tried to get into the car, but her right leg seemed injured and she couldn't lift it up after several attempts. She looked so miserable. Lu Shicheng looked at her for a while, turned his head to look at the doorman beside him, and pointed outside.

"You want me to help her into the house? But... Mr. Kuang's apartment is rarely known to people. If the news gets out——"

"Go ahead." Kuang Zhilin said, "This Miss Wen is an acquaintance of ours. She looks like she fell down. Let her go into the house to have a cup of hot tea, and then call a car to take her home. The young master and I can go out the back door. Even if we invite her in, we won't find anything. She'll definitely catch a cold if she walks back in the rain like this."

The concierge responded quickly.

Lu Shicheng looked at the Western clock on the wall, wrote a line of words and handed it to Kuang Zhilin.

[It's still early. I'll go to the study to reply two letters to Nanyang. Wen Tingli won't be delayed for long. Once she leaves, it won't be too late for me to go to Principal Zou's house.]

Kuang Zhilin: "Alright. I've been sick for the past few days and have a lot of things to do. I'll go to Lixin Bank first. Lao Zhou, please invite Miss Wen into the house, and be careful not to let her get close to the study."

He hurriedly picked up his coat and left through the back door. At this moment, the phone in the entrance hall rang. The concierge happened to walk to the front door and picked up the phone. It was Principal Zou calling.

"I'm here to urge Shicheng to leave. Zihe brought an old photo album with a photo of the three of us from back then. Zihe heard that Shicheng missed his mother very much, so she was willing to give this photo to Shicheng. I guess Shicheng can't wait to see the photo."

The concierge held the microphone and asked Lu Shicheng: "Master, are you leaving now?"

Lu Shicheng looked at the embarrassed figure outside the window, hesitated for a moment, picked up his coat and prepared to leave through the back door, and the doorman said on the phone: "Principal Zou, the young master will be here soon."

At this moment there was a commotion outside.

In the heavy rain, a car stopped in front of Wen Tingli. A young man in his early twenties stuck his head out and smiled, "Hey, isn't this Wen Tingli?"

Wen Tingli pushed her bicycle hard to turn around, and the gang of hooligans blocked her way: "Are you deaf? Our Young Master Qiu is asking you a question!"

Wen Tingli pretended to be surprised and looked around: "What do you mean by young helmsman or stinky helmsman? I only saw a few stinky flies."

"you wanna die!"

"Let her scold. She's only good at talking anyway." Qiu Lingyun jumped out of the car, and someone held an umbrella for him. "Why didn't you get a chance to rely on the Lu family? You've been reduced to delivering newspapers in just a few days."

Wen Tingli: "Don't you know why I deliver newspapers?"

Qiu Lingyun held the umbrella over Wen Tingli's head to protect her from the rain, and sighed, "I know that your whole family is relying on you to make money. It hurts me to see you in such a mess. I admit that it is our Qiu family that is sorry for your Wen family. I also said that I am willing to spend my whole life to compensate you. As long as you are willing to follow me, I will not let you run around in the wind and rain, and I will not let you get wet by even a single raindrop. I will buy you a mansion, hire servants, a luxury car, jewelry, and clothes for all seasons. I will give you whatever you want."

Wen Tingli glanced at Qiu Lingyun: "Really?"

Qiu Lingyun's body suddenly softened: "When have I ever lied to you?"

Wen Tingli knew that the people sent by Li Chengying to protect her were lying in ambush nearby, so she looked at Qiu Lingyun with a provocative look: "I only want one thing - your father Qiu Dapeng's life, will you give it to me?!"

Qiu Lingyun's face suddenly changed: "Don't be so ungrateful!"

He grabbed Wen Tingli's wrist and forced her into the car.

"I've already apologized and said enough soft words. I don't care about the last time you teamed up with Meng Qiguang to beat me up. Don't be so shameless!"

Wen Tingli shouted "Help" while cursing, "I think you have forgotten the pain after the wound healed. Believe it or not, I will make you pay for it."

Qiu Lingyun hated Wen Tingli's tricks the most: "Are you going to move out of the Lu family again? You can yell as much as you want! Don't say that Lu Shicheng doesn't like you at all. Even if he sincerely protects you, he may not be able to do so in the future!"

Wen Tingli laughed deliberately: "I'm afraid this guy has gone crazy. Do you think that you can ignore the Lu family just because you are with the White Dragon Gang? Even your boss Cao doesn't dare to offend Lu Shicheng. What right do you have to say such big words?!"

"That was in the past." Qiu Lingyun smiled wryly, "Just wait and see, Lu Shicheng won't be able to keep going for long!"

Wen Tingli's heart moved, and she continued to provoke him loudly, "I don't believe it, so tell me in detail. If you don't dare to say it, I know you are bragging."

Qiu Lingyun was so angry that he pushed Wen Tingli into the car. Wen Tingli held the car frame tightly with both hands: "Let me go!"

Suddenly, he felt a loosening on his back, and Qiu Lingyun was grabbed by the back of his clothes and thrown to the ground.

The man came with great speed and ferocity. Before Qiu Lingyun could even see who he was, he was pinned to the ground and hit several times. It was strange that the younger brother next to him did not come up to help but just watched from the side.

"Are you dead? Why don't you come and help me?!" Qiu Lingyun cursed while protecting his head and face.

"Young Captain." The younger brothers stammered.

While he was talking, he was hit several more times. Qiu Lingyun was hit so hard that he saw stars. He finally dodged a punch and opened his eyes. It was Lu Shicheng. He was stunned. Before he could fight back, he was hit by more than ten punches in a row. He almost fainted from the pain. Finally, Lu Shicheng threw Qiu Lingyun aside like a rag, stood up and loosened his collar. His face returned to its usual calmness. He looked back and saw Wen Tingli still in a daze in the car. He walked straight over and pulled her out of the car.

Qiu Lingyun watched angrily: "Lu Shicheng, don't think I'm afraid of you! If you dare to take her away, I will--"

His words were suddenly stuck in his throat, because Lu Shicheng suddenly turned around and looked at him, his cold star-like eyes seemed to ask, what can you do?
Qiu Lingyun's heart trembled, and thinking back to what had just happened, he couldn't help but regret it. In his anger just now, he had said too much, but he never expected that Lu Shicheng would show up as soon as he said so.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that Lu Shicheng seemed to deliberately provoke him to say more angry words. He remembered his father's warning, endured the pain and climbed up, swallowed his anger and bowed: "I'm sorry, I was confused and said some angry words just now, Mr. Lu, please don't take it to heart. Let's go!"

Wen Tingli gritted her teeth secretly behind Lu Shicheng. This guy can be smart sometimes, but he continues to speak harshly!

The more he talked, the faster Lu Shicheng could associate it with Mr. Lu Sanye.

It's too late to regret now. Even if it was just a few words, with Lu Shicheng's cunningness and what happened recently in the Gao family, it was enough to make Lu Shicheng suspicious.

It was worth it that she was disgusted just now.

While she was thinking, she suddenly felt someone looking at her above her head. When she looked up, she met Lu Shicheng's gaze.
.

Wen Tingli quickly wiped the raindrops off her face: "Thank you Mr. Lu for helping me out. I just wanted to earn some money, but I didn't expect to meet someone named Qiu here."

She lowered her head and gritted her teeth in silence. Lu Shicheng looked at her feet, walked to the side, and helped her pick up her tilted bicycle. The doorman hurriedly chased after her and stuffed the umbrella into Lu Shicheng's hand: "Leave it to me, Master, you and Miss Wen go into the house first. Miss Wen, did you fall just now? Can you walk?"

Wen Tingli: "It's nothing serious, I can walk."

Having said that, he immediately followed Lu Shicheng's pace.

It was a living room with an exquisite layout and the furnishings in the room were very elegant and clean.

Wen Tingli looked at her wet raincoat, hesitating whether to go into the house or stay in the entrance hall, but Lu Shicheng walked straight to the coffee table, poured her a cup of hot tea, and pointed to the sofa.

Wen Tingli took the opportunity to take off her raincoat and hang it by the door, then walked over to take the tea from Lu Shicheng.

"Thank you." She said softly, holding the teacup and sitting on the sofa stiffly.

The room was very quiet and Lu Shicheng didn't say anything, so she didn't want to respond while she was sitting there.

For a moment, the only sounds I could hear were the sound of wind and rain outside and my own heartbeat.

Suddenly she felt Lu Shicheng walking towards her, and she couldn't help but lift her eyes secretly. He walked to the coffee table and poured himself a cup of hot tea. His whole body was wet, and raindrops flowed down his black hair onto his eyebrows.

As she was watching, she suddenly sneezed. A chill quickly penetrated into her pores through her wet clothes, making her shiver all over.

It turned out that she herself was not in much better condition. Her shoulders and hair were soaked, and her pants were wrapped tightly around her calves like mud. It was extremely uncomfortable. She was so cold that she could hardly sit still, but she did not forget to remind Lu Shicheng: "You have to change your clothes as soon as possible, otherwise you will catch a cold."

Lu Shicheng glanced at her white lips from the cold, then looked at her wet clothes, and put the teacup back. At this time, the doorman came in: "Master, please go back to your room and change your clothes. I will take care of Miss Wen. She is waiting for you over there."

Wen Tingli stood up at a loss: "So you are going out?"

Lu Shicheng pointed at Wen Tingli. The concierge was stunned for a long time before saying, "Oh, I understand. There is a Baosheng Foreign Company nearby. I will ask the clerk to bring some clean clothes to Miss Wen. Later, when Miss Wen has rested enough, I will call a car to take her back. Miss Wen, I will get the quilt to cover you first."

Wen Tingli waved her hands hurriedly: "No need to bother, Cixin Hospital is very close to here, I'll take a rest and then leave."

Lu Shicheng went upstairs on his own.

After a while, he changed into clean clothes and came downstairs. He looked up at the living room and saw Wen Tingli sitting upright wrapped in a quilt. However, her complexion did not improve at all, and her expression was very strange, as if she was thinking about something, so absorbed in her thoughts that she did not even notice him approaching her.

Suddenly she was stunned, and she looked up: "Mr. Lu."

Lu Shicheng looked at the coffee table thoughtfully. There were several bottles of freshly hot milk and pastries on it, but she didn't touch a single bite.

Wen Tingli followed his line of sight and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry to bother you, and I have something to say to you--"

The phone suddenly rang. The concierge picked it up and said to Lu Shicheng, "It's Principal Zou. He's worried that something might happen to the young master on the way, so he called to ask."

Lu Shicheng nodded to the doorman, who said, "It's nothing. The young master told you not to worry. He's ready to go out."

Lu Shicheng looked back at Wen Tingli, nodded and was about to leave. Wen Tingli suddenly said, "Mr. Lu, Qiu Lingyun just said two things that seemed to be related to you. The more I think about it, the more strange it seems, so I want to talk to you about it."

She stood up as she spoke, but perhaps because she stood up too quickly, her body shook violently. She quickly covered her forehead, but her head was getting more and more dizzy. She stumbled and fell in front of Lu Shicheng.

She thought to herself that it was bad. She had intended to hold Lu Shicheng back, but she had never thought of fainting in front of him.

However, the world was spinning in front of my eyes and I couldn't concentrate at all. In a trance, I could only hear the doorman shouting anxiously in my ear: "Miss Wen, Miss Wen? Master, she looks like she has what Westerners call hypoglycemia. I'll call a taxi to take her to the hospital right away - ah, ask the doctor to come directly to your house? Okay, I'll call Dr. Louis right away."

Suddenly, she felt someone touching her forehead, as if trying to check her body temperature. Then, her body felt lighter and someone picked her up. Wen Tingli smelled the man's scent and knew it was Lu Shicheng.

She did not completely lose consciousness, but she was extremely hungry and tired at this moment, and she fell asleep in Lu Shicheng's arms.
