Chapter 132: She is greedy for money.
Wen Zhi had always assud that the phone and wallet were left behind because he had forgotten them by accident.
She never considered the possibility that he had left them for her on purpose.
“Do you still rember the paynt password?” he asked.
Wen Zhi replied, “I do.”
Shang Hexing’s voice ca through the phone, gentle, “You’re smart, and you have a good mory, otherwise this call would be
calling you instead.”
Wen Zhi realized he was complinting her for rembering the screen lock code. If she hadn’t rembered the screen lock code, she wouldn’t have been able to make this call to Chen Zhu.
As she was thinking, she heard his voice again, “Isn’t it a coincidence? I just took the phone from Chen Jinhai, and your call ca in right at that mont.”
There was a hint of pleasure in his tone.
Wen Zhi knew that his happiness stemd from the tacit understanding between the two of them.
“It is quite a coincidence.” Wen Zhi pursed her lips, using a half-joking tone, “But aren’t you afraid that I’ll run off with your money? I just checked, there are quite a few cards in there.”
Shang Hexing fell silent for about three seconds, then said to her, “Wen Zhi, if you truly loved money, all of this would actually beco quite simple.”
Money could solve many troubleso issues.
Money could also get everything one desires.
But the eternal law of the world is balance, the more precious sothing is, the more elusive it becos, money included.
Wen Zhi naturally understood the subtext of Shang Hexing’s words, but she had to feign ignorance and responded literally, “Who says I don’t love money, of course I love money. Money cos from all directions; I love money, and money loves .”
Shang Hexing chuckled softly, “Money-grubber.”
A voice from Chen Jinhai ca from the side, deliberately low, “Mr. Shang, we’ve arrived.”
Shang Hexing humd in acknowledgnt, then said to Wen Zhi on the phone, “I’ve arrived, and I’ll be busy for a bit. If there’s anything you need, call this number and let Chen Jinhai handle it.”
Wen Zhi responded, “Okay.”
“And…” Shang Hexing began to say.
Wen Zhi asked, “And what?”
She waited for him to finish, but after a long silence, she didn’t hear his voice, just Chen Jinhai’s cautious urging—
“Mr. Shang, those people are waiting for you to get off the car…”
Shang Hexing replied with a faint hum.
Then he said to Wen Zhi on the phone, “It’s nothing.”
Right as Shang Hexing was about to hang up, Wen Zhi suddenly said, “I’ll wait for you to finish up and co back, so we can return to Bai City together.”
After her words fell, the call went quiet.
Wen Zhi was sure he hadn’t hung up, and she knew he heard what she said; she just couldn’t guess what he was feeling at the mont. Nevertheless, she knew it was sothing he probably wanted to hear.
“Then I’ll hang up.” He didn’t make a sound for a while, and Wen Zhi, not wanting to delay his business, hurriedly ended the call.
She hugged her phone, biting her lip with a smile, feeling particularly good.
anwhile, on Shang Hexing’s end, he put down his phone only after hearing the busy tone.
He looked down, a smile in his eyes, his mood visibly improved. Chen Jinhai beside him noticed it too, sowhat moved by how significant Miss Wen’s influence on Mr. Shang was.
…
Wen Zhi took the wallet and phone Shang Hexing left for her and stepped outside.
When she took the elevator down to the hotel lobby, she unexpectedly ran into a familiar face.
However, because it had been a long ti since she had seen him, and afraid of misidentifying the person, Wen Zhi hid behind a Roman column in the lobby and sneakily took a photo. Then, she searched her mory for ng Fan’s phone number and sent the photo to ng Fan via text ssage.
She then composed a ssage: [Does this person look like Shen Zhiyao?]
After sending the ssage, Wen Zhi suddenly realized this was Shang Hexing’s phone, and ng Fan would definitely be puzzled to receive the ssage on the other side, so she had no choice but to make a call over.
“Cousin, what brings you to call?” ng Fan’s tone was both puzzled and probing.
Wen Zhi cleared her throat, “ng Fan, it’s .”
Upon hearing Wen Zhi’s voice on the other end, ng Fan checked the phone repeatedly, and indeed it was Cousin’s number!
Wen Zhi could guess how skeptical about life ng Fan’s expression must be right now, and she said, “Don’t just stand there, it’s , Wen Zhi.”
“Zhizhi?” ng Fan’s voice suddenly rose several decibels.
“Yeah.” Wen Zhi remained calm.
ng Fan’s shock was evident in her raised voice, “You two have confird your relationship?”
Wen Zhi was quite embarrassed, “No, don’t overthink it, I just don’t have a phone right now, and Mr. Shang lent his to
for a bit.”
“Oh…”
ng Fan cald down, then asked, “The photo of Shen Zhiyao you sent
just now, that was you too, right? What’s going on?”
Wen Zhi replied, “I sent it, I saw her at the hotel, and since I wasn’t sure and afraid I might recognize the wrong person, I took a photo to confirm with you.”
ng Fan let out a sound, “That’s her, Shen Zhiyao, I’d recognize her even if she turned to ash.”
Her tone was quite certain.
But there are only two reasons why soone would say they could recognise the other even if they turned to ash.
Wen Zhi said this out loud.
ng Fan imdiately asked, “Which two reasons?”
Wen Zhi, “One is hatred for the other, and the other is too much love for the other. Obviously, you couldn’t possibly love Shen Zhiyao, so it must be the forr.”
“Pish, pish, pish, as if I have nothing better to do! Does Shen Zhiyao even deserve my resentnt?” ng Fan instantly retorted.
Wen Zhi, “Oh, is that so.”
ng Fan, “…”
The reason why Wen Zhi had also seen Shen Zhiyao was back when ng Fan and Rong Huaishen got married. Out of curiosity, ng Fan went to investigate Rong Huaishen’s forr beloved, and Wen Zhi accompanied ng Fan to et Shen Zhiyao.
Seeing that Shen Zhiyao was about to leave with that man, Wen Zhi hurriedly asked ng Fan, “Although I’m not certain about Shen Zhiyao, I do recognize Mr. Rong. ng Fan, you’ve seen the photo too, the man with Shen Zhiyao isn’t Mr. Rong, and they look very intimate walking arm in arm, their relationship doesn’t seem simple.”
ng Fan gripped her phone tightly, “That bastard Rong Huaishen… he was with
last night, still there in the morning, no ti to teleport to Harbor City!”
Wen Zhi understood, “So this is Shen Zhiyao’s adulterous lover?”
Upon hearing this, ng Fan’s tone beca agitated, “Zhizhi, follow them, but be careful not to expose yourself.”
“Okay, I know.”
With the philosophy of putting herself on the line for a good friend, Wen Zhi followed without hesitation.
Throughout the tracking, Wen Zhi kept the call going with ng Fan.
Wen Zhi was very careful not to expose herself, and finally stopped following at the entrance of a residential area, watching the car carrying Shen Zhiyao enter the compound before she stopped tracking.
From the phone ca ng Fan’s anxious voice, “Zhizhi, did you get a clear look, what kind of residential area is it?”
Wen Zhi looked up and said, “It’s definitely a high-end residential area, called…”
ng Fan, “Xiangxieli?”
As ng Fan ntioned Xiangxieli, Wen Zhi also made out the three characters, “Yes.”
“OMG!” ng Fan let out an exclamation.
Wen Zhi asked, “What’s wrong?”
Then she heard ng Fan’s loud laughter through the phone, a laughter that almost burst Wen Zhi’s eardrums.
