Chapter 578: I Don’t Like the Scent of Perfume
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Grandpa Sheng woke up, the first ones he saw were Sheng Kai and his wife.
His eyes flashed with disappointment. But anyway, he had made it through. Eighth Brother would not have stayed in the hospital for long. He was a simple person who would not put on an emotional performance.
“Grandpa, you’re finally awake. You made us worry so badly.” Gu Ziling quickly approached him and pretended to care for him. “Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?”
Grandpa Sheng shook his head. He only opened his eyes for a while. Then, he felt tired and fell asleep once more.
Seeing this, Sheng Kai dragged Gu Ziling out of the ward and said, “This is our best chance to win his heart over. We must take good care of him and regain his trust.”
“Are you sure he will buy it?”
“A person will be very thankful for the person who takes care of him when he is sick.”
Gu Ziling nodded and looked at Sheng Kai. “I understand. What about you?”
“I will show him some ‘result’ to compensate for the losses of Huang Yao.” He knew that nobody liked Third Brother’s style in doing business. So, he could easily snatch that position from Sheng Bowen’s hands.
“Then go and do your work.”
“Ziling, I know it’s hard. As for the child, we shall try an IVF after Grandpa gets better.”
Today, seeing Sheng Xiao and his warning to him hurt Sheng Kai’s dignity. If he did not work hard to climb the ladder, he would only be a toy to Sheng Xiao.
Gu Ziling was right. A man’s dignity was gained by himself. He did not want to live in misery anymore.
He swore that he would become ruthless, more ruthless than anyone, even more ruthless than Sheng Xiao!
...
Late at night in Jianchuan, the city was covered with a blanket of fog.
Tang Yan went home late that night. Perhaps it was because of this that Feng Shanshan made a fire pit in her yard and set up her tent, planning to camp there, since she had no place else to go.
Tang Yan rarely walked out to his balcony, but when he saw Feng Shanshan enjoying herself, he couldn’t help but throw things into her yard.
Feng Shanshan saw it and turned her head to look at Tang Yan. “You’re back.”
“Is it fun camping?”
“Going camping in the wild has always been my wish. But I have no one to go with me,” said Feng Shanshan. “My second-generation rich ex-boyfriend only liked to play games with his money. Such childish fun was not to his liking.”
Tang Yan did not hear her babbling at all, so he went into the living room and grabbed his keys. Then, he walked back to the balcony and threw the keys to Feng Shanshan. “Just say it if you have no place to stay.”
“Don’t you hate me troubling you?” Feng Shanshan tilted her head and asked Tang Yan.
“I’m worried that you might burn your house down and cause me trouble.” Tang Yan mocked her while drinking some water.
When Feng Shanshan put out the fire and entered the house, he said, “You’re so brazen.”
“I used to be a wild girl,” Feng Shanshan said nonchalantly.
“To what extent?”
Feng Shanshan made a hush gesture and lay down on Tang Yan’s sofa. “It’s rather boring if I tell you that. We are not close friends anyway.”
Tang Yan did not say anything and went into his study.
It was easy if he wanted to know about Feng Shanshan’s past. He had heard from the professor before that Feng Shanshan received money from the Sheng family to monitor Mu Qiqi.
She could be counted as a bad woman. But she was not totally bad.
She had made him hate her, pity her, scorn her, and feel sorry for her.
All in all, she made him feel strange!
Maybe, it’s because she lived as her true self...
The next morning, when Tang Yan was going to work, he discovered Feng Shanshan using perfume.
“I don’t like the scent of perfume.”
“I know, but compared to this, you wouldn’t want people to misunderstand our relationship, right?” Feng Shanshan explained. “This perfume can cover up the woody scent of your house. If not, why else do you think I am willing to use this?”
Tang Yan did not say anything. He grabbed his helmet and went out.
What about Feng Shanshan? She did not feel as peaceful as she thought she would. She felt complicated feelings.
She was just borrowing his place. But strangely, a crazy thought came across her mind last night. She wanted Tang Yan to comfort her. Was it because she was too lonely?
After using the perfume, she thought that she must go home after her house was fixed. She must keep a distance from Tang Yan.
Apart from the rare species in Mu Qiqi’s house, were men trustworthy?
...
The next morning, in Banyan Courtyard.
Sheng Xiao went out with Mu Qiqi. Mu Qiqi planned to take a look at Grandpa Sheng in the hospital to see if he had woken up or not.
However, there were bodyguards following them this time.
“I just want to prevent that woman from picking a fight with me once I get there. So, I got the bodyguards with me. If she opens her mouth, I will shut her up.”
Seeing this, Sheng Xiao couldn’t help laughing. “You are so clever.”
“I’m not a kind girl anyway.” Mu Qiqi snorted. “I’m a well-known crooked girl. My existence is enough to make people like Gu Ziling shiver.”
Sheng Xiao held the back of her neck and kissed her thin lips. “When you get out, give me a call.”
“Rest assured.”
The little one was in a hurry to go to the hospital because she was worried that Sheng Xiao would keep on worrying about Grandpa Sheng. In this world, there was no one who understood him more than this little one.
Soon, they reached the entrance of the hospital. And Mu Qiqi brought four bodyguards with her into Grandpa Sheng’s ward.
Seeing this standard action, Gu Ziling frowned and wanted to question her. But before she could even open her mouth, the bodyguards behind Mu Qiqi covered her mouth and brought her out of the ward.
She should have done this to sluts earlier.
Grandpa Sheng was awake, and he witnessed how Mu Qiqi got Gu Ziling out of the ward.
“I’m just worried that you might be in distress if I quarrel with her. So, I got her out of the ward. I can’t win over her,” Mu Qiqi told Grandpa Sheng. “Xiaoxiao and I were outside the operating room yesterday. But after the Sheng family came, we left. Now that I see you are very energetic, Xiaoxiao will be very glad.”
“Eighth... Brother...”
“When you get better, you can go and see him by yourself. I won’t pass any message for you,” said Mu Qiqi, sitting beside the bed. “As for the people in the Sheng family, it doesn’t matter if you can stand them or not. Your health is the most important.”
Was this girl worrying that he might get angry and hurt his body?
She was surely and most definitely taught by Sheng Xiao. The way she showed her concern was so awkward!
