The once empty car was suddenly filled to the brim. The chattering voices of the girls made it extremely lively. Having not seen each other for several days, the four of them had endless topics to talk about, including makeup, clothing, and entertainment gossip.
Hu Yuankang glanced through the rearview mirror and saw Zhou Yaru sitting next to Xu Zixi. The two of them looked very intimate. He couldn't help but curl his lips.
He remembered that this woman had been in contact with that pretty boy surnamed Yan in private. Moreover, he heard from his subordinate that the Yan guy even gave the woman a card. It was obvious that they had some shady business.
Alas, the young mistress was so pitiful. First, she was deceived by a scumbag, and then betrayed by her good friend. He must find an opportunity to tell the young mistress about this and let her stay away from this woman.
Not knowing what they had mentioned, Xu Zixi suddenly pointed at Brother Hu, who was wearing a big gold chain in the driver's seat, and introduced:
"By the way, this is Brother Hu Yuankang. He's not only the first friend I made in Haicheng but also my driver. He's a very generous and chivalrous person and is quite well - known in the western part of the city. If any of you encounter difficulties in the western part of the city in the future, you can ask him for help."
"Ah? He's just your driver?" Dai Sha was surprised. "I always thought he was your mysterious fiancé."
Hearing the word "fiancé", Zhou Yaru couldn't help but recall the conversation with Yan Yincheng that day. She looked up at Hu Yuankang and happened to meet his sneaky inquisitive gaze.
Caught peeping, Hu Yuankang quickly turned his head away.
Zhou Yaru twitched the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "Dai Sha, what are you joking about? With Yuan Xi's conditions, how could she take a fancy to this kind of man? His face is so ordinary that you can't even find him in a crowd."
With Yuan Xi's conditions, she definitely deserved the best in the world! Like Mr. Yan. Although he was Yan Zhen's uncle and had done something bad to make Yuan Xi angry, he was handsome!
With that face, he could be forgiven for anything. Wuwuwu.
Hu Yuankang was unhappy. What did she mean by "this kind of man" and "this kind of appearance"? Although he knew his face was forgettable, he was still the well - known Brother Hu in the western part of the city!
This woman cared so much about appearance. She must be having an affair with that pretty boy surnamed Yan! He must find an opportunity to expose this woman's true colors!
But before Hu Yuankang could find the opportunity, Zhou Yaru squinted her eyes slightly, leaned forward, and carefully sized him up. "Mr. Hu Yuankang, why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?"
Zhou Yaru's words scared Hu Yuankang and made him a bit fidgety.
What did this woman mean by saying this suddenly? Could it be that she saw the scene when he had his arm dislocated by the Yan guy that day? It couldn't be. Didn't his subordinate say that she had left at that time?
After a moment, Zhou Yaru finally remembered. "I remember. Did you also study in Deyu Middle School in junior high school?"
Brother Hu was shocked and a little pleased at the same time. She had just said his face was ordinary, but now she suddenly recognized him. It meant his appearance wasn't that forgettable! And he didn't expect that this woman had noticed him before. Was his spring coming?
"Yeah, you recognize me?" Brother Hu cleared his throat and deliberately ran his hand through his bangs.
But Zhou Yaru's next words shattered Brother Hu's illusions.
"You used to block my way with a group of people and rob my comic book. I was so angry that I didn't eat well for a whole week! I remember now. It was you!" Thinking of the past, a surge of anger welled up in Zhou Yaru again.
If he weren't driving, Brother Hu would have covered his face with something. "You've got the wrong person. I never studied in Deyu Middle School."
"I'm not wrong! It was you! Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you now. I have Yuan Xi to protect me. You have to return my comic book to me! I saved up for a long time to buy it!"
Brother Hu, who had originally wanted to expose Zhou Yaru's true face, was suddenly caught in a difficult situation. He quickly said, "Okay, okay. I'll go back and find that book right away and return it to you intact."
"You'd better. If I find a single page missing, I'll make Yuan Xi teach you a lesson!" Zhou Yaru waved her fist.
Xu Zixi and Dai Sha in the back seat were laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their waists. They didn't expect that there was such a connection between Brother Hu and Zhou Yaru. Wiping away the tears from laughing, Xu Zixi finally realized that she seemed to have forgotten something.
Eh? Didn't Pei Mingyuan say he would go to see Cui Jiandong with her? Where was he?
Forget it. He had a car. He should go there by himself. Besides, there was no room in her car!
They soon arrived at the hospital. As Xu Zixi got out of the car, she heard the roar of a motorcycle behind her. With a cool tail - swing, the motorcycle stopped in front of the ladies. Pei Mingyuan took off his helmet. Dai Sha was surprised.
"President Pei, what a coincidence."
Pei Mingyuan said meaningfully, "It's not a coincidence. I'm also here to see Cui Jiandong."
Having promised someone but then forgotten about him, Xu Zixi felt a bit guilty. "Alright, let's go in quickly together."
Huang Zhenzhen pushed open the door of the ward. Inside, Cui Jiandong was about to get out of bed and move around. Seeing so many people come to visit him all of a sudden, and one of them was Pei Mingyuan, he looked surprised and then lay back down again. He said somewhat shyly,
"Why did you all come? Actually, you didn't have to come. My injury is almost healed. I estimate that I'll be able to be discharged from the hospital and go back to work in two days."
Pei Mingyuan put the fruits he bought on the way on the table and said to him, "You were brave enough to do what's right. As the president of Pei Corporation, I should have come to visit you a long time ago. But it happened to be the crucial time for the finals, and I really couldn't get away. I hope you can forgive me."
Cui Jiandong quickly smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I can understand. I was worried that I would delay my work and it would be bad for the company. But President Pei, you didn't just come to console me, did you?"
Pei Mingyuan said seriously, "You're right. Besides coming to visit you, I also want to talk to you about work. I think you should also be aware that even if your injury heals and you're discharged from the hospital, you won't be able to do high - intensity work for a while. But the design plan for the Bay Project has already been finalized, and construction will start soon. The workload of the project manager will increase several times compared to before. I can't bear to let you work with an injury..."
Thinking that he was going to be fired, Cui Jiandong quickly got up. "President Pei, I can do it. I'm fine!" He got up too quickly and pulled his wound. His face turned deathly pale from the pain. Seeing this, Huang Zhenzhen quickly stepped forward to support him.
"A Dong, don't be in such a hurry! Be careful not to tear your wound!"
This address made Xu Zixi raise her eyebrows. She was already calling him A Dong. It seemed that their relationship was developing well.
