Chapter 141: Where Are You?
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 documents in front of him. It was clearly time to sleep, but he did not feel sleepy at all. How was Xing Shu after such a curveball? Was she in the apartment?
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 overtime, 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 overtime at the company. He suggested, “Sir, should I get Jian Yaochuan to come over and send you?”
“No need.” Cheng Lang walked to the foyer. His demeanor 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 seemed 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 apartment. 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 apartment was not bad, but it was quite old. There were all kinds of small advertisements in the elevator. When Cheng Lang came here the first time, he felt awkward. It was not that he despised the environment 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 times. Only then did he remember to send Xing Shu a WeChat message.
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 emergency room. After waiting for a while, the lights in the emergency 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 treatment was timely this time, his health is too poor. He will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.”
Some elderly people might suffer a stroke from abject anger and become 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 time, 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 frame, not knowing if she should go in. Her cell phone beeped just then—it was a message 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 apartment.
At the apartment, Cheng Lang waited for a long time. He wondered if Xing Shu had fallen asleep and did not see his message. He tentatively pressed the doorbell a few more times. 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 slammed 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 someone. I’ve seen her fiancé. If you want to date someone, 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 dreamed 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..”
