1458 Gossip Wu Haoming
Chi Shuyan could be considered to be doing well after returning from Dashan Village and delivering the pills. It was mainly because today was Sunday, so there were no classes. As for the day before yesterday on Friday, she had wanted to report back to the university at first, but she had been delayed at the Jing Auction House. When she left, it was already past 5:30pm. There was no point going to school after that, so she might as well report in on Monday.
Even so, Chi Shuyan still called her teacher in advance and explained things. Fortunately, Counselor Zhang had encountered some problems before, and Chi Shuyan had helped resolve them. Counselor Zhang believed in and trusted her. In addition, Counselor Zhang had a good disposition, so things went smoothly for Chi Shuyan.
It was just that Counselor Zhang was very worried that given how many classes she had missed, what if she couldn’t make them up? He was quite sincere and earnest as he told her to pay attention to her studies.
Chi Shuyan felt ashamed and guilty when she heard this, and naturally agreed.
It was just that while she had gotten past this hurdle, there was still Director Huang. She felt that she would probably have to go see Director Huang on Monday, mainly because Director Huang also knew that she had taken leave again, so she had to properly acknowledge that she was at fault.
Chi Shuyan didn’t have any thoughts about acknowledging her fault in front of Director Huang. She didn’t want to disappoint Counselor Zhang, but just because she cared about his feelings didn’t mean that she cared about Director Huang’s opinion. If it really didn’t work out, she could just scare the latter or ask Brother Feng for help.
The matter of her absence was halfway resolved. Chi Shuyan deliberately stayed in bed this morning until there was a loud knock on the door, followed by the little guy’s clear voice. “Shuyan, wake up! It’s time to wake up!”
Li Yu knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no answer. He immediately pushed the door open a crack and stuck his little head inside. His eyes met Chi Shuyan’s gaze just as she came out of the washroom.
Chi Shuyan crooked a finger as she brushed her teeth and let the little guy in.
Li Yu was no longer as fawning and solicitous. He straightened and feigned arrogance as he pushed the door open and entered. He stared at Chi Shuyan and said in his baby voice, “Shuyan, the sun is high in the sky, and you’re only getting up now. Shame on you!”
Chi Shuyan thought she was thick-skinned, and hadn’t thought much of lazing about in bed. Now that the little guy had brought it up, she felt a little guilty. She was brushing her teeth and couldn’t speak, so she deliberately walked over and gently twisted the little guy’s earlobe before she turned around and went to the washroom to rinse her mouth.
Li Yu was like Chi Shuyan’s little tail at that moment. She went to the washroom, and the little guy followed her in. Chi Shuyan rinsed her mouth, and Li Yu continued with his chatter. “Shuyan, you’re really late this morning. Will you also laze around in bed tomorrow? I’ll wake you up tomorrow! If you laze around in bed, I’ll pull off your blanket!”
Chi Shuyan was both amused and helpless at the little guy’s warning. After rinsing her mouth, she deliberately crouched down and pinched the little guy’s little face, feigning a warning tone. “You’ll even pull off my blanket? Men and women shouldn’t touch each other. Haven’t you heard this saying?”
Li Yu’s proud little face immediately flushed red. His fair and tender little face was like a red apple. In addition, the little guy was very good-looking, very beautiful and polite. Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but want to kiss his little face.
So she did.
Li Yu was someone from an ancient era. At that moment, his little face immediately turned the color of a freshly steamed crab. Blood surged up and his face flushed red, as if it would release steam in the next second.
At the same time, the little guy had a disbelieving expression like that of a little adult, as if to say that Chi Shuyan wasn’t his princess, so how could she take advantage of him? His big black grape-like eyes widened, and he looked like he wanted to glare at her, but didn’t dare look at her face. Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but laugh. She patted the little guy’s butt and got up. “Okay, I won’t joke with you anymore. Let’s go downstairs and eat breakfast!”
Before Chi Shuyan could go downstairs, however, her phone on the table in her room suddenly rang. She glanced at the unfamiliar number, then picked up the call.
A familiar voice quickly rang out. Chi Shuyan recognized that it was Wu Haoming’s voice.
She thought that Brother Feng had asked Wu Haoming to look for her about official business, but she heard Wu Haoming’s gossipy tone at that moment. “Sister… Sister-in-law, is that you? Something big happened, but it’s a good thing.” Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to ask, Wu Haoming rattled on like a machine gun and explained everything. He said in a low and excited voice, “Sister-in-law, did you see the headlines? That Qin woman suddenly died a tragic death the day before yesterday. She died in a cafe for no apparent reason. Supposedly, a lot of people saw it happen with their own eyes, and someone called the police. We took her body back for an autopsy, but the forensics expert couldn’t work out how this woman died!”
Having seen a lot of supernatural things, Wu Haoming wasn’t the least bit curious about Qin Qing’s tragic death. He was more inclined to believe that this woman had gotten her retribution. As soon as he found out that this woman was dead, Wu Haoming actually gloated in his heart. It was mainly because this woman was too bad a person. Still, she was already dead, so there was nothing to say.
“Is that right?”
“Sister-in-law, I think this Qin woman must have suffered retribution. Forget it, she’s dead. I’m too lazy to say much, except that she cheated on Director Feng. Director Feng himself isn’t angry, so I can’t be bothered to be angry either. But Sister-in-law, if you’re free in the next few days, why don’t you meet Director Feng for dinner and a drink? I think there’s something wrong with Director Feng’s mood and expression after he found out that this Qin woman is dead.” This was the reason why Wu Haoming had called.
When Chi Shuyan heard his words, she frowned. However, she didn’t think that Brother Feng would forgive Qin Qing, who had cheated on him, or that his feelings for her would have suddenly been rekindled.
For one thing, Brother Feng already knew that the other party had cheated on him. For another, their relationship wasn’t as strong as in his previous life. The passing of time was a good thing. In his previous life, Brother Feng had been entangled with Qin Qing for almost a lifetime, so his feelings naturally had deep roots. It was possible he had already known that the other party was cheating on him, but he still hesitated over getting a divorce, which was why he died early.
This life was different.
Chi Shuyan was more inclined to believe that there were no feelings, but in the end, Brother Feng still felt a little emotional about Qin Qing’s death, since he was a down-to-earth and good person. Thinking this, Chi Shuyan relaxed and agreed. “Okay, I’m free tonight. I’ll arrange to have a chat with Brother Feng!”
