In front of Li Tang, Qiao Mudong made several calls to inquire about Hong Minhang. He Yu advised Li Tang not to worry too much; unless no other news comes out, Hong Minhang should be fine.
Qiao Mudong put down the phone and advised Li Tang, “I will let you know as soon as there is news from my sources.”
Li Tang forced a smile. “I’m really causing trouble for you.”
Qiao Mudong said, “Which kid who grew up together in the north of the city doesn’t know your name, Li Tang? When I first went out to scare people, I also told them that I was a good xiongdi of the Hong family’s Xiaomao, and that Li Tang was my ge! After all, you have been protecting me for two years; this is just a little help from me, so there’s no need to be polite.”
Hearing this, Li Tang smiled and patted his shoulder.
After eating their meal, Qiao Mudong had to go back to work in Lingyun.
Li Tang said, “He Yu, please help me see off Young Master Qiao.”
He Yu was helping to collect the bowls. Hearing this, he looked at Qiao Mudong and asked, “Are you full, ba?”
Qiao Mudong nodded. “I’m full.”
He Yu said, “Then don’t leave yet.”
Qiao Mudong hummed twice.
Li Tang grabbed the bowl in He Yu’s hand and said, “You go; stop wasting his time.”
He Yu wiped his hands and came down from the second floor with Qiao Mudong.
Xia Xiaoxia kept craning her neck to look around. When she saw He Yu and Qiao Mudong coming down, she quickly pretended to be concentrating on counting the money.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
He Yu glanced at her with a smile, not caring, and walked out of the Shiyouwei gate with Qiao Mudong.
Renxin Street is not long, and the pace of the two people seems to be a little slow, involuntarily. No one spoke for a while, and the ambiguous and silent atmosphere on the phone once again appeared between the two people. He Yu’s scalp felt numb, and he felt that this weird atmosphere, like middle school students falling in love, was really not suitable for him and Qiao Mudong.
Soon, Xia Xiaoxia shouted loudly from behind, “Xiao He-ge!” which just broke the silence between the two of them.
He Yu and Qiao Mudong turned around at the same time and saw Xia Xiaoxia running towards them, carrying a plastic bag. There was a lunch box in the plastic bag. Xia Xiaoxia said, “The boss said it was such good timing that the food has to be delivered to Lingyun, so he asked you to take it along the way.”
Qiao Mudong was the first to reach out and take it. “I’ll take it for you.”
He Yu looked up at Qiao Mudong. He wanted to say thank you but was too embarrassed to do so. Finally, he said, “Then how do we collect the money? Can you bring it over this afternoon?”
Qiao Mudong’s forehead twitched, and he reached into his clothes to take out his wallet. “How much is it? I’ll pay for it, ba!”
He Yu spread his hands and said, “Thank you; it’s fifteen.”
Qiao Mudong took out 20 yuan and smashed it into his palm. “I’ll reward you with five more yuan. Take the money and get lost!”
He Yu couldn’t help but smile, held the money with his fingers, and said, “Thank you, daye.”
Qiao Mudong waved his hand and said, “Get lost already!” Then he turned around and left with the lunch box in hand.
He Yu stood there and watched his leaving figure. It was not until Qiao Mudong disappeared around the corner that He Yu turned around with a smile on his face.
Xia Xiaoxia had been standing behind him. Looking at He Yu’s expression, she couldn’t help but say, “Xiao He-ge, you and that Mr. Qiao are…”
He Yu said, “We’re friends. But he’s really not suitable for you, so don’t think about it.”
Xia Xiaoxia was quite disdainful when she heard this and said, “Sure.”
When Qiao Mudong returned to Lingyun, the first thing he did was help He Yu deliver the food.
There is a small piece of paper attached to the box, which contains the orderer’s floor number, office number, last name, and phone number.
Qiao Mudong took it out and took a look. He then took the elevator directly to the seventh floor.
In fact, it is already time to prepare for work. Most people in the office have returned to their seats, but there is still some noisy chatting.
When Qiao Mudong appeared at the door of the big office in 706, not many people noticed him until he shouted loudly, “Which Miss Dai ordered a Shiyouwei takeout for lunch?”
All eyes gathered in an instant, and the office turned completely silent.
A young girl wearing glasses stood up tremblingly, raised her hands, and said, “It’s me…” She didn’t know yet whether she had made any mistake.
Qiao Mudong raised the plastic bag in his hand and said, “Your takeout.”
The little girl was confused. She walked to the office door, reached out and took the bag handed over by Qiao Mudong, and said awkwardly, “Thank you.”
Qiao Mudong turned around to leave, but suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand, and said, “Thank you; it’s fifteen yuan.”
The little girl’s eyes widened. “Ah?”
Qiao Mudong urged her: “Hurry up; I helped you pay for the money in advance.”
“Oh, okay.” The girl quickly ran back to her seat, took out fifteen yuan from her bag, trotted back to the door, and handed it to Qiao Mudong.
Qiao Mudong collected the money, stuffed it into his pocket, and left.
He left a room full of people stunned and wondering what happened.
Qiao Mudong walked towards the elevator and met Fu Chenshan walking towards him in the corridor.
Fu Chenshan came from across the corridor alone. He could see the bruise on his jaw just by raising his head slightly.
Qiao Mudong looked at him coldly and had no intention of talking to him.
But when Fu Chenshan approached Qiao Mudong, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, “Just wait and see, surnamed Qiao.”
Qiao Mudong couldn’t help but pause with his feet. In his mind, this was the first time Fu Chenshan openly challenged him. Before knowing the relationship between He Yu and him, Fu Chenshan was just an ordinary existence in Qiao Mudong’s eyes. If he had any impression, it was probably limited to Ling Zhilu’s boyfriend.
If Fu Chenshan is eager to provoke him, then Qiao Mudong will not back down. He stood still, raised his head slightly, and looked down at Fu Chenshan. “Wait and see? What’s there to look at?”
Fu Chenshan sneered, leaned close to Qiao Mudong’s ear, and whispered, “Look at Lingyun; look at He Yu.”
Qiao Mudong’s face suddenly turned cold. “Believe it or not, I’d dare to beat you up in here.”
Fu Chenshan said, “If you’re so capable, then just do it. There’s no point in talking about it.”
Qiao Mudong raised his hand and punched Fu Chenshan on the bridge of his nose. The punch was fast and hateful. Fu Chenshan fell back and sat on the floor, with bright red blood flowing down his nose.
People in the two nearby offices were alarmed, and several men quickly came out of the office to either stop Qiao Mudong or help Fu Chenshan.
Fu Chenshan raised his head. His nosebleed seemed unstoppable. A woman covered her mouth and whispered, “Send him to the hospital quickly.”
Qiao Mudong snorted coldly and pointed at Fu Chenshan. “I told you not to try provoking He Yu again.”
Fu Chenshan raised his hand to cover his nose, blood dripping from between his fingers. The two people supporting him advised, “Don’t delay; go to the hospital quickly.”
Fu Chenshan nodded and entered the elevator with the help of the person next to him.
Qiao Mudong also waved away the person who came to hold him up, straightened his clothes, and walked towards another elevator.
At almost 5:30 in the afternoon, He Yu was watching Lao Pang pour boiling water into the pickled vegetables. He was thinking about whether to call Qiao Mudong and ask him what he wanted to eat for dinner. Suddenly, the cell phone on his body rang.
He Yu took out his mobile phone and saw that the caller ID was from Fu Chenshan. He couldn’t help but feel startled as he picked up the call hesitantly. “Chenshan?”
“Xiao Yu.” Fu Chenshan’s voice was hoarse and dull. “Are you free right now?”
“Why?” He Yu asked.
Fu Chenshan said, “If it’s convenient for you, can you come to Shiyi Hospital?”
He Yu stood up straight. “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Fu Chenshan said, “It’s okay. I just had a minor operation. I don’t want to worry my mother by staying here. Can you help me make her feel at ease so she could go back home?”
He Yu opened his eyes wide. “Operation? What kind of operation?”
Fu Chenshan said, “It’s nothing. It’s just a minor operation. It’s not that serious. Mainly, I just don’t want my mother to worry.”
He Yu breathed out gently. “I’ll be right there.”
Man when are both of these idiots (Mudong & He Yu) going to learn and wake up? Fu Chenshan is a poisonous snake!!
Ah, Illyriaaaaaa. I dmed you on ko-fi and email, can you please respond to me QAQ I have a concern~
This bastard fu is such an asshole ugh. Will he stop pestering he yu already?? >:((((
So when will Fu Chenshan go to jail, suffer and pay for his own crimes? Someone give me a spoiler and tell me whether he will get punished for everything he does or I might just punch him trough the screen.
