69novels Chapter 100 is too pretentious.
Chapter 100 is too pretentious.
Gu Lin immediately understood.
It's the Qian family.
The Qian family is very well-informed.
Knowing that Wen Shuyi and Sheng Tingwang's relationship is now stable, they immediately took action.
"Well, this Wen Sixia is quite pathetic."
"Now that the Wen family has lost power, the Wen family members abroad dare not come back, Wen Sixia is not capable of supporting herself, and the young master of the Qian family is out there having affairs, so no one dares to say anything. The divorce is fake, but being threatened with divorce is probably real."
Gu Lin didn't know much about that young master of the Qian family.
But he knew that they were family-oriented and had some business dealings with the Qian family.
"Then you'd better keep a close eye on her, and make sure Wen Shuyi doesn't fall into her trap."
"Um."
……
Wen Shuyi accompanied Wen Sixia for a full-body checkup.
The results came out very quickly.
Aside from malnutrition and some bruises on his body.
They didn't contract AIDS, a serious disease, but sexually transmitted diseases were still prevalent.
Systematic treatment is required.
She helped Wen Sixia with the hospital admission procedures.
I comforted her for a while, saying, "Focus on getting better and recovering your health. Then you can find a job and at least support yourself."
"Sister." Wen Sixia held Wen Shuyi's hand, her eyes red-rimmed. "I really didn't expect that you would take me in and help me get treatment. Thank you, thank you so much."
"Although our relationship has never been particularly close since we were little, we still grew up together. Now that you've come to me, how can I just sit idly by?"
"sister……"
Wen Sixia cried.
There is some genuine affection involved.
Wen Shuyi patted her back: "Don't cry. You don't need to worry about the treatment costs. Once you're cured, you can live a good life from now on."
"Okay, sis."
After settling Wen Sixia in.
Wen Shuyi walked out of the ward.
Just then, Sheng Tingwang walked over. "Is everything arranged?"
"Yes, she has many illnesses and needs systematic treatment." Wen Shuyi's face was melancholy, revealing his worry. "I don't know if she can be completely cured."
"Yes, don't worry."
Wen Shuyi glanced at the time. "I have to go to work. President Ye is going to a blind date event today, so he'll probably have to work overtime."
"Shall I take you to the company?"
"No need, I'll be going now."
Wen Shuyi left the hospital in a hurry.
When Sheng Tingwang left the hospital, Gu Lin had just finished his night shift.
"It's been a while since I worked the night shift, and it feels like a long-lost sense of fulfillment." Gu Lin stretched and asked Sheng Tingwang, "Want to find a place to have a drink?"
"Who would drink so early in the morning?" Sheng Tingwang glanced at Gu Lin indifferently. "I heard from Shu Yi that there was a matchmaking event at their studio today. Ye Tang went. She said it was a high-end event, and maybe she can find someone suitable."
"What?"
Is Ye Tang going on a blind date?
What about Song Fuli?
"Wasn't she supposed to marry Song Fuli? Why is she going on another blind date? Is she out of her mind?"
"Her affair with Song Fuli is a misunderstanding." Sheng Tingwang lit a cigarette and tossed it to Gu Lin. "That day, I had a brief chat with Song Fuli about his relationship with Ye Tang. They're... good friends, I guess."
"A good friend?" He'd clearly told him it was Sheng Tingwang who was getting married to Ye Tang and Song Fuli—was it fake news? "Are you kidding me? That's not what you said..."
"It was a misunderstanding," Sheng Tingwang shrugged.
"You're being quite nonchalant." Gu Lin hooked his arm around Sheng Tingwang's shoulder. "Since it's a high-level game, shall we go check it out?"
"What are you looking at? I have a wife..." Before she could finish speaking, Gu Lin pulled her into the car.
The matchmaking event was extremely high-class, and entry required a special ticket.
Gu Lin did not.
Sheng Tingwang also did not.
"No ticket, no entry." Sheng Tingwang laughed gleefully, finding Gu Lin's discomfiture more amusing than the matchmaking event itself.
Gu Lin glanced at him, then turned around and made a phone call.
Money power never disappoints.
In less than ten minutes, two invitations with gold foil embossing were delivered to him.
"Wow, Dr. Gu really went all out?" Sheng Tingwang grinned from ear to ear.
Gu Lin clicked his tongue. "Hurry up and go. You talk too much nonsense."
The heavy, gilded gate was opened by the gatekeeper.
The first thing you smell is a carefully blended fragrance.
The venue was decorated in an extremely luxurious manner, with dazzling crystal chandeliers, ivory-white silk covering the long tables, and silver cutlery and glass cups gleaming in the light, like a preview of a glamorous world of fame and fortune.
The ladies were wearing haute couture gowns.
They were elegant in demeanor, but their eyes, like searchlights, subtly swept over every man present, as if assessing walking assets.
The men, on the other hand, were much more relaxed, chatting and laughing with acquaintances or strolling through the crowd with wine glasses in hand, their eyes discerning as if they were choosing the luxury item on the shelf that best matched their status.
"You can find a good man in a place like this?" Gu Lin scoffed, his tone full of undisguised contempt.
Sheng Tingwang, however, was unsurprised. "Isn't blind dating just about mutual benefit? Men look at looks, women look at money. Since you're here, you can choose one too."
Sheng Tingwang nudged him with his arm.
Gu Lin casually glanced around, his brows furrowing: "Where are the good ones? They're all covered in so much powder they could paint a wall, the air is thick with the smell of cosmetics, it's giving me a headache."
For some reason, a sudden surge of irritation rose in my heart.
Where is Ye Tang?
Could she be hiding away with some man?
"Why can't you find someone better?" Sheng Tingwang suddenly raised his chin, glancing at the corner by the French windows. "Didn't Ye Tang find someone she liked?"
Gu Lin immediately looked in that direction.
Ye Tang was wearing a pearl white dress, which made her look much younger than her actual age.
She was elegant in demeanor and spoke with grace.
She was chatting with the man opposite her, who was wearing a light gray suit.
It looks very speculative.
The man leaned slightly forward to listen to her speak.
Ye Tang's eyes were curved in a smile, a relaxed and captivating smile that Gu Lin hadn't seen in a long time.
"Your laugh is so cheap," he said, his words extremely harsh, for reasons unknown, "have you never seen a man before?"
Sheng Tingwang hissed and gasped, "What are you saying? If you're not going to smile on a blind date, are you going to wear a long face?"
"That guy looked ordinary."
Gu Lin's gaze was fixed on the other person, critically scanning his figure, hairstyle, and even the workmanship of his suit. "To end up having to come to a place like this for a blind date, what kind of good person could she be? When did her taste become so bad?"
He became increasingly agitated as he spoke, and a spark of anger, which had somehow risen within him, burned him uncomfortably.
Sheng Tingwang didn't reply, but just smiled and drank the champagne in his glass in one gulp.
Gu Lin continued to stare in that direction.
He watched as Ye Tang raised her hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, then took out her phone and added each other as friends.
"Look at her, she's even added people as friends? Isn't she afraid of running into scammers?"
Sheng Tingwang shook his head helplessly. "If you're worried, you can go over there now and take her away. What can she do, chatter on and on? Can she even hear or see you?"
"Me?" He pointed to himself, annoyed. "Do you think I have that much free time?"
"Then why did you come here? It's not for a blind date, and you're not taking Ye Tang with you. What exactly do you want?" Sheng Tingwang didn't want to expose him, but Gu Lin had been too pretentious lately. "Pretentiousness can have dire consequences, you..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Sheng Tingwang saw Gu Lin stride up to the table where Ye Tang was having her blind date.
"Instead of going home to see the kids, you've come here for a blind date. Do you think your husband is dead? Ye Tang, you heartless woman, you're not even divorced yet, and you're already looking for someone else?"
Gu Lin made a lot of sarcastic remarks.
The man opposite him was startled and said angrily, "You, you're married? Then what are you doing here on a blind date? Honestly."
