Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After replying to Nie Heng, Cheng Lang did not look at his cell phone anymore. Instead, he looked at the pile of docunts in front of him. It was clearly ti to sleep, but he did not feel sleepy at all. How was Xing Shu after such a curveball? Was she in the apartnt?
At the thought of this, Cheng Lang picked up his suit. As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Liu Song, who was heating milk. He said, “Sir, it’s already so late. Why aren’t you asleep?” Other than working overti, Cheng Lang’s routine was like clockwork.
Liu Song saw the suit on Cheng Lang’s arm and thought that he was going to work overti at the company. He suggested, “Sir, should I get Jian Yaochuan to co over and send you?”
“No need.” Cheng Lang walked to the foyer. His deanor was no different from when he usually had to go to work.
Liu Song looked at Cheng Lang’s back and thought that Cheng Corporation Group was this successful because of Sir’s hard work. It was already so late and he still had to go to work. It seed like he had to get the kitchen to boil more soup to nourish his body.
Cheng Lang went to the garage and chose a relatively low-key car to go to Xing Shu’s apartnt. When the car stopped, he held the steering wheel and could not help but frown. What was he doing? Coming here for a woman in the middle of the night? He and Xing Shu both knew that the two of them were only f*ck buddies, each getting what they wanted. There was no need to be serious. So why was he here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?
Cheng Lang’s mind thought that there was no need for him to do this, but his body got out of the car quickly. The location of Xing Shu’s apartnt was not bad, but it was quite old. There were all kinds of small advertisents in the elevator. When Cheng Lang ca here the first ti, he felt awkward. It was not that he despised the environnt here, but he did not expect the daughter of the Xing family to live in such a place.
After exiting the elevator, Cheng Lang pressed the doorbell. However, no one answered after the doorbell rang several tis. Only then did he rember to send Xing Shu a WeChat ssage.
Cheng Lang: “Where are you?”
Xing Shu was still in the corridor of the hospital. There were many people in the hospital at night, and it was very noisy. The director was still in the ergency room. After waiting for a while, the lights in the ergency room were finally switched off. The doctor pushed him out. “Miss Xing.” The doctor took off his mask. “Does the patient have any other children? Although the treatnt was tily this ti, his health is too poor. He will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.”
So elderly people might suffer a stroke from abject anger and beco bedridden or fall into a coma. Feng Daxiang was considered lucky. When Xing Shu heard that the director was going to be in a wheelchair in the future, her face fell. “Is there no other way? Money is not a problem.”
“I’m sorry, we’ve done our best. If you hadn’t sent him here in ti, I’m afraid he would have been paralyzed,” the doctor said.
Xing Shu blinked her sore eyes and nodded slowly. “Thank you, doctor.”
Feng Daxiang was conveyed to the ward. Xing Shu stood at the door and held the door fra, not knowing if she should go in. Her cell phone beeped just then—it was a ssage from Cheng Lang. But, she was not in the mood to deal with him. Instead, she asked the doctor a few more questions and treated her swollen cheek before returning to her apartnt.
At the apartnt, Cheng Lang waited for a long ti. He wondered if Xing Shu had fallen asleep and did not see his ssage. He tentatively pressed the doorbell a few more tis. Suddenly, the neighbor opposite opened the door and barked fiercely, “Who is it? It’s the middle of the night; people need to sleep…” When she saw Cheng Lang’s appearance and bearing, her scolding stopped abruptly and she slamd the door shut. However, a few seconds later, the door opened again and half of the neighbor’s face was revealed. “Oh, young man… This girl seems to be engaged to soone. I’ve seen her fiancé. If you want to date soone, I have a relative’s daughter…
“No need.” Cheng Lang refused with a cold expression. No one had ever dared to introduce a woman to him like this in his life.
The neighbor was not angry at being rejected. She only felt that Cheng Lang had high standards and did not tancy that relative’s daughter. “How about this? I have a niece overseas. She’s beautiful, but she has high standards. She graduated from a prestigious school and has five properties. She’s never been in a relationship. If you don’t mind…’
Cheng Lang’s face instantly darkened. Just then, the elevator door opened— Xing Shu had returned.
Xing Shu never dread that she would see Cheng Lang at her door at 3:00 a.m.. And her neighbor was trying to matchmake Cheng Lang. This was too surreal. She quickly took a step forward—opened her door—and thanked the neighbor. “Thank you, Aunt. He doesn’t need a matchmaker. He doesn’t want to get married..”
