The sound of a car ca from outside the door. Shen Tang thought it was He Uncle coming back and hurried out to greet him eagerly.
Unexpectedly, it was Gu Huaian who had returned.
"You're back."
"Mm."
For so reason, Gu Huaian seed to be in rather high spirits. Even Tao Sister noticed it and secretly glanced at the two of them a few tis with the corners of her mouth curling up wildly.
Shen Tang tilted her head to look outside the door again, feeling anxious inside.
[Why hasn't He Uncle co back yet? Could Gu Jinan's eggs really be broken!]
Gu Huaian's footsteps halted and he asked casually, "Tao Sister, where is He Uncle?"
"Ah, um...well..." Tao Sister looked very guilty. Gu Huaian was certain that sothing he didn't know about must have happened.
Of course, his purpose in asking was not to listen to Tao Sister's reply, but to get a certain chatty person to expose herself.
"He Uncle went out and hasn't co back yet..." Shen Tang explained.
[He's been gone for so long, why hasn't he co back? Is Gu Jinan badly injured? Tsk--what if his eggs really did get smashed and he cos to make trouble...]
[We’ll just get Tao Sister to insist it was an accident if that happens. He has no proof.]
Gu Huaian: "..."
What kind of trouble have these two caused again?
Shen Tang changed the subject and asked, "By the way, when exactly is that banquet you ntioned before?"
"It's in two days. Do you have ti?"
How could it be at this ti? It clashes with the one that Luo Chen said was hosted by soone surnad Gu.
Shen Tang felt sowhat conflicted, but made a decision after thinking for just a mont and laughed to herself--of course she had to prioritize her sugar daddy!
She could reschedule with that Mr. Gu so other ti.
"I'm free! What should I wear?"
While Gu Huaian considered who this Mr. Gu that Shen Tang was thinking of could be, he said, "Soone will co to deliver you so dresses tomorrow, you can pick one."
Shen Tang thought he ant soone would bring her a few dresses to choose one that she liked.
She didn't expect that the next day, a whole group of people ca to her house--stylists, makeup artists, and even a fitting model with a similar figure to hers that she could use if she wanted.
Many celebrities desperately try but fail to even borrow so of the dresses available for Shen Tang to casually select as she pleased, as plentiful as cabbage.
Shen Tang admitted she was rather shocked by such extravagance.
But she soon happily started picking out clothes with great relish--money is just so nice to have!
She liked all of these dresses so much that she was unable to decide for so.
Tao Sister helped advise on the side, and eventually they settled on a figure-hugging fishtail gown, paired with so jewelry and high heels.
Shen Tang stroked the slender high heels, barely stopping herself from letting the delight spill out of her eyes.
She was quite tall, and with high heels she would be even taller than so male celebrities. So opportunities for her to wear really high heels had been few and far between in the past.
She didn't expect to finally get the chance to now.
Glancing at the ti and seeing it was nearing noon, Shen Tang pondered and said, "Tao Sister, could you pack up so food for ?"
"Are you going to see the young master?"
"No, I'm going to see how Gu Jinan is doing."
They hadn't carried out last night's plan yet when he suddenly got hospitalized. Not visiting him would make her seem rather indifferent.
Plus she also wanted to find out if Gu Jinan's eggs really did get smashed. She had fallen asleep already by the ti He Uncle returned last night.
Upon hearing it was to visit Gu Jinan, Tao Sister's face instantly drooped. "Oh, then let go pack it up."
Soon she ca out holding an insulated food container.
Shen Tang took it from her. "Thanks, Tao Sister. I'm heading out now."
"Have a safe trip, Madam."
Gu Jinan was receiving treatnt at Gu Hospital, so Shen Tang was quite familiar with the place. As she entered, she smiled and chatted with a few of the young nurses.
After signing in, she arrived at Gu Jinan's ward and could hear pained groans even before going in.
Shen Tang gently knocked on the door. The sounds inside instantly vanished. "Please co in."
Shen Tang adjusted her expression into one of worry and went in. "How...how are you feeling?"
When Gu Jinan saw Shen Tang, he recalled how disgraceful things had gotten for him last night--it was utterly humiliating to the point of absurdity.
However, he would not let that Tao Sister off the hook.
If Shen Tang knew what he was thinking, she would surely comfort him: don't overthink things, there will still be many more shaful days for you ahead.
"I'm alright. The doctor said I pulled a muscle and need to recuperate for a few days."
Shen Tang didn't believe his story one bit, but she didn't show it. Instead, she waved the food container in her hand, "I see. I brought you so food, you should eat sothing."
"Then I thank...my sister-in-law."
Normally, this kind of private visit between a little uncle and his sister-in-law would be sowhat intimate.
But Shen Tang was here to watch a cody show, hahahahaha!
Opening the container, she was taken aback for a mont. "Oh, it looks like I brought the wrong one. Or I can bring you so another ti..."
"It's no problem, I'll eat whatever my sister-in-law brings ."
And so, Shen Tang successively took out the egg drop soup, tomato scrambled eggs, cucumber scrambled eggs, and egg fried rice.
Gu Jinan's face was dark, the corner of his mouth was twitching, and his teeth were nearly clenched into dust.
He couldn't help but suspect Shen Tang knew sothing and had deliberately done this.
Yet Shen Tang's current expression held so bewildernt as she mumbled, "How did I grab the food packed for Xiao Yu..."
Only then did Gu Jinan manage to keep his expression under control.
This should really just be a mistake after all.
It's just that right now he reeeeally didn't want to see any eggs, whether whole or broken.
"By the way, when will you be discharged?"
"Why do you ask?"
"What about that matter with Miss Zhou you ntioned before? You're hospitalized now, so will it still continue?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinan gloomily lowered his eyes in self-reproach. "It's all because I ssed up and got injured last night...If only I had been more careful and didn't fall..."
Huh~ Why's he being all wishy-washy, Shen Tang felt extrely disgusted inside.
She nodded. "Yes, you really were careless."
Hearing this, Gu Jinan nearly couldn't maintain his facial expression.
Shouldn't a normal person feel regretful?
Why was Shen Tang's attitude like this? He was montarily at a loss over how to respond.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll be discharged as soon as possible and do my best not to delay your matter."
"Then do your best."
Gu Jinan choked a little on her reply. "Alright."
Shen Tang didn't stay long before leaving the ward. Turning her head, she found Gu Jinan's attending physician. "Doctor, I'm one of Gu Jinan's relatives. How are his injuries?"
"What relation are you to him?"
"I'm his sister-in-law."
The doctor hesitated, unsure whether or not he should say.
But from his reaction, Shen Tang had already deduced that Gu Jinan's eggs really did get smashed. Hahahahaha!
The humor level was 100%!
"How many?" Shen Tang asked.
The doctor held up one finger.
Shen Tang forcefully held in her laughter. "Thank you, doctor. Please take good care of him and don't tell him I ca. I'm afraid it would embarrass him."
Returning ho, Shen Tang asked Tao Sister about what had happened last night.
She was surprised to learn that Gu Jinan had often bullied and frad Gu Huaian when they were young.
"There's even this kind of history!" Shen Tang was furious.
"Yes, the young master has a good temper and usually doesn't hold it against him."
Tao Sister added inside her heart--it was just tit-for-tat covert retaliation.
Shen Tang's heart ached badly and she imagined a young Gu Huaian being bullied then silently bearing it with extre grievance.
She suddenly changed her mind--Tao Sister's thods last night had still been too light.
His both eggs should have been smashed!
