After arguing for an hour, Wu Wang managed to convince his mother to go back ho and Wu Xia had to follow her back as well. On the other hand, Xu y had an important eting at the Xu Corporations and with much reluctance, she also left the hospital.
Since Sun Ju and Lin Shen’s wedding was not far, they had to make a trip back to the Lin Family house to have lunch with the elders for so discussion and Wu Wang didn’t dare to stop them.
With all of them gone, only Li Qiao, He Jian, and Ye Jie remained behind with Wu Wang.
"What? Don’t you all have sothing to do?" Wu Wang stared at the three n who were busy drinking coffee elegantly on the sofas as if having a small gathering of friends. The three n on the sofa didn’t spare him a glance and rely shrugged their shoulders nonchalantly. Wu Wang was enraged by their reaction but he still wasn’t allowed to strain his vocal cords, therefore, he stayed quiet.
"Jian, my cousin wants you to design his new office," Li Qiao told He Jian keeping a calm look on his face.
"I’ll look into it," He Jian answered as his gaze shifted towards Ye Jie as he said, "So, should I start calling you cousin now?"
The cup in Ye Jie’s hand paused for a mont before he answered, "Suit yourself, Jian Ge!"
He Jian narrowed his eyes at Ye Jie while he smiled sweetly in return. This scene made Li Qiao frown a bit.
"So, when are you planning on confronting your parents? Oh, sorry! I an fake parents." He Jian asked on impulse. "Or my dear cousin is still scared to do so?"
Ye Jie knew that He Jian was trying to incite him because even till now, he wasn’t getting comfortable with the idea of having an older cousin brother. Although He Jian was only a few months older than him. But that didn’t an, he would let this cousin tease him like this.
Ye Jie took another sip of his black coffee and with a brittle smile said, "I heard Jian Ge’s prospective life partner was supposed to et him a couple of days ago. How was the eting?" He Jian clenched his hands in fists while he tried his best to control his urge to punch Ye Jie’s face.
"Ooohhh! That one must have stung!" Even Wu Wang couldn’t help but laugh since Ye Jie chose the exact topic that ticked off He Jian. "Tsk... Tsk... I pity you both for using these ans to have an argunt." He was busy clicking his tongue.
Seeing that both He Jian and Ye Jie were equally stubborn, Li Qiao could feel the vibes of blood between them. He shook his head and tried to diate the situation. "Jian didn’t get to the eting."
"Why?" Ye Jie inquired. This ti he was genuinely curious to know the answer.
"Because when he was driving to et the supposed ’prospective life partner’," even Li Qiao couldn’t stop himself from air quoting as he went on, "I called him to inform about Wang’s condition. Therefore, he ran over here to the hospital."
"Oh, sh*t!" Wu Wang swore as he glared daggers at He Jian. "Did you miss that damn eting?" He Jian nodded his head indifferently. Wu Wang looked hatefully at him and then he had the urge to cry. "Have you lost your mind? My mother empress is going to kill !"
"I think Jian even made that girl wait for him since he didn’t inform about his absence. She must have waited a long ti before realizing that he stood her up." Li Qiao spoke out to inform Wu Wang and this ti he really wanted to bury himself alive.
"That’s very rude of you, Jian Ge." Ye Jie remarked with disappointnt. "Leaving a girl alone on a date to wait for you is disrespectful. How could you even do that?"
"I was worried for my best friend’s life. I didn’t think about anything else at that ti." He Jian spoke in his defense.
"Are you sure you weren’t just trying to find excuses to run away from that eting?" Ye Jie pointed out making He Jian roll his eyes at him.
"Dear cousin, I am not that cheap." Ye Jie nodded his head actually believing his words since he was already aware that He Jian was planning on asking that girl to reject the marriage proposal as he couldn’t do so himself.
"What’s wrong with you Wang? Should I call the doctor?" Li Qiao was the one to observe Wu Wang’s blanched face.
The three of them ca close to his bed and looked at him weirdly. Laying lifeless, suddenly an idea popped up into his mind as he searched for his phone and dialed a number.
"What is he doing?" Ye Jie asked seeing the anxious face of Wu Wang but the other two were just as confused as he was.
"Hey, little ducky! What’s up?" Wu Wang’s speaking manner took an abrupt change as the call was connected. After hearing the answer from the other side, he frowned, "You’re taking your dicine? Why?" Again after a pause, he said, "You waited for Jian till the morning? Who does that? You fool! You’re impossible."
’Till morning?’ Li Qiao glared at He Jian while He Jian could only look down embarrassingly.
"Since you’re the dumbest person who slept in the tea house while waiting for him obviously you’d be sick now." Wiu Wang scoffed and shook his head. "Anyways, the reason I called you is to ask for a favor." After taking a brief pause to hear, he added, "Can you please not tell mom about it? Please, pretty please! Although you don’t give a damn, it wasn’t Jian’s fault, I was hospitalized and he ca running to ."
Ye Jie didn’t understand the reason for such a request but the other two weren’t fools. They knew themselves that if Fan Bingbing got to know that He Jian actually ditched his prospective wife, there will be riots!
Wu Wang finally smiled as he said, "Okay, thank you! As always, our little ducky is the best! I’ll see you after I get a discharge." After he hung up the phone, he really wanted to punch He Jian. "You better et her next week. For now, she’ll tell mom that she was busy and couldn’t et you."
He Jian ignored him and went back to the sofa while Ye Jie followed him. However, Li Qiao leaned a bit close to Wu Wang’s ear and asked, "Aren’t you, my best bro? At least tell who our future sister-in-law is?"
Wu Wang pushed him away and said, "After He Jian ets her, everyone will know who she is."
"Do we know her? At the very least, you can spill this much." Li Qiao was still insistent.
Wu Wang sighed heavily and said, "Yeah! You all have seen her. Now, let rest." He even yawned to emphasize his point leaving Li Qiao’s craving for gossip unsatiated.
"Jerk!" Li Qiao could only hatefully grumble.
