Chapter 109: Don’t Worry about Sheng Ge

Chapter 109

Dong Wanwan was so angry that her lungs nearly exploded. "Why didn't you go grab it?"

"Can't afford it? Then stop pretending to be so rich," a woman spoke up.

"A shady little model that can't make it mainstream!" Dong Wanwan was so furious with these three that she cursed and then turned to leave.

She had only taken two steps when she heard the laughter of the three women behind her.

"Only shameless people ask for photos for no reason!"

"She looks like she has a rat face but thinks she's so beautiful."

"There's something wrong with her brain."

Dong Wanwan clenched her fists tightly in anger.

What kind of godforsaken place was Honghai? She should have never come!

As soon as Dong Wanwan left, Zhang Xiya and the other two women stopped laughing.

Qiao Yi frowned. "Who is she? Why did she want those photos?"

Zhang Xiya immediately looked up Dong Wanwan's information online and opened her wiki page.

"I see. She went to the same school and studied the same major as Little Zhenzhen. They must have been college classmates."

"She was asking for photos of Li Zhen and President Lu just now. She must be up to no good." Meng Yuanjie looked in the direction of Dong Wanwan, who was not far away reapplying her makeup.

Dong Wanwan desperately needed comfort. As the makeup artist touched up her look, Dong sent an audio message to Zhou Chaowen: "Hubby, you said you were coming to see me but you're not here yet. I'm so tired today."

Her coquettish tone made the makeup artist shudder.

Outside the movie theater, Zhou Chaowen parked his car and listened to Dong Wanwan's message. He replied: "Be good baby, I'm here already. Going in right away, muah!"

As soon as he sent it, a black Rolls Royce pulled up next to Zhou's car.

The extended body of the car was sleek and flashy.

Zhou Chaowen shrank back to avoid the dust kicked up by the tires.

When the Rolls Royce parked, two people got out.

Zhou Chaowen recognized one of them and exclaimed, "Sis Li!"

"Chaowen..." Li Zhen was surprised to run into Zhou Chaowen here. She realized he must be here for Dong Wanwan.

"And who's this?" Zhou Chaowen looked at the man with Li Zhen.

The man had an outstanding aura and drove an expensive car. Appearing with Li Zhen outside the photography studio, Zhou guessed he must be Li's boss.

Upon thinking further, Zhou Chaowen recalled meeting this man at the exhibition hall last time. Brother Sheng had called him President Lu.

Without waiting for Li Zhen to introduce him, Lu Yanming took the initiative to shake Zhou Chaowen's hand. "Hello."

Zhou Chaowen was surprised by this man's enthusiasm. "Hello, hello. You're Sis Li's boss, right? I'm her good friend Zhou Chaowen."

"Lu Yanming," Lu replied succinctly.

Li Zhen added: "Chaowen, he is the vice president of our group."

"Is that so? Don't try to fool me, I didn't get much schooling."

Zhou Chaowen didn't quite believe her. He felt that man's attitude toward Li Zhen was strange.

"Really, really," Li Zhen brushed it off.

On the way from the theater entrance to the photography studio, the two chatted about many embarrassing stories of their other college friends.

Li Zhen laughed continuously while Zhou Chaowen was distracted.

It had been so long since he was alone with Li Zhen.

He wasn't used to it.

As they walked he became increasingly clumsy, his hands and feet oddly refusing to obey him.

His heart was also thumping loudly.

He didn't dare glance in Li Zhen's direction even once, only able to force himself to stare at the ground as they walked.

Zhou Chaowen thought this was the longest yet shortest walk he'd taken in years.

"And then at that time, Yu Sheng..." Li Zhen suddenly stopped.

She had been talking about other people and momentarily forgot to avoid mentioning Yu Sheng.

She cut herself off, about to change the subject.

Zhou Chaowen suddenly asked, "Oh right, Sis Li, has Brother Sheng's health improved?"

Li Zhen was startled. "Hm?"

Zhou Chaowen suddenly realized something. "You don't know that Brother Sheng is sick?"

Li Zhen shook her head.

After accompanying her to the Li house that day, Yu Sheng hadn't been to work since coming in for a day.

Zhou Chaowen said, "That day when I called Brother Sheng, it was his younger brother who picked up. He said an infection in Brother Sheng's wound caused him to have a high fever off and on for several days, sometimes lucid and sometimes delirious."

He had wanted to visit Brother Sheng but his brother said he needed peace and quiet to recuperate.

After finishing, Zhou Chaowen looked at Li Zhen.

He was shocked to find Li Zhen's expression seemed completely unmoved. She just calmly replied, "Oh, so that's why he hasn't been at work."

Zhou Chaowen was stunned speechless for a long time.

Was this still Li Zhen?

Back in college, she would be anxious if Brother Sheng so much as sneezed once.

But now...

Could it be that Li Zhen knew it wasn't the person who saved her? No, that can't be. If she knew, Li Zhen would have had more than this reaction.

Zhou Chaowen tentatively asked, "Sis Li, aren't you worried about Brother Sheng?"

"Why would I worry about him? Didn't I tell you, we're divorced now." Li Zhen spoke casually.

Yu Sheng had Mother Wu, he had Yu Yang, he had his top-notch private medical team behind him.

Even the most severe illness was not an issue for someone like him.
