The two chatted while eating.

After finishing a bowl of fragrant black chicken soup, Mei Shu ate all the meat cleanly and patted her round belly satisfiedly.

Jiang He got up to tidy up the bowls and chopsticks, then went out to bring a doctor back to examine her.

Due to her recent movements, there was no sign of improvement in the wound on her leg. In fact, it seemed to have worsened. The doctor ordered her to stay in the ward and avoid putting pressure on her legs.

Mei Shu nodded in agreement. While Jiang He was taking the doctor back to the office, she took out her phone and opened the chat with Lu Si.

After replying “okay” in the car, Lu Si didn’t send any more messages.

Judging by the time, his dinner should not have ended yet.

After thinking for a while, Mei Shu decided to send a message, “The chicken soup was delicious. Thank you. I was wrong at lunchtime. I won’t wander around again in the future.”

After sending the message, she tossed her phone on the bedside table, propped herself up on the bed with one foot, and prepared to take a comfortable nap.

On the other side.

Lu Si had been out of sorts all day.

Since separating from Mei Shu at noon, he had been checking his phone from time to time, but his fingers hovered over the screen for a long time without typing a single word.

In fact, he knew Mei Shu well. That fool wanted to hide her leg pain, but she didn’t realize that her suffering was written all over her face.

He was just too worried about her leg injury, so he spoke without thinking, deliberately saying the opposite to provoke her.

“Master Si, is the food not to your liking today?” Wang, who was sitting beside him, came over with a smile, offering a toast.

Lu Si placed the phone on the table and replied coldly, “It’s fine.”

Wang pushed the wine glass closer. “Master Si, please have a drink with me? I have something good to give you later!”

He smiled slyly, but Lu Si lost his appetite for the food and felt annoyed. He stood up abruptly. “No need, I have something to do. I’m leaving.”

“Don’t go!” Wang quickly went to block him, and despite his weight of two hundred pounds, he could still move surprisingly fast. “Master Si, if there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, just tell me. I’ll make sure to arrange it properly for you! Xiao Wu!”

He signaled to his secretary.

The secretary immediately understood and poured a glass of wine, stepping forward with a sweet voice. “Master Si, our boss sincerely wants to be friends with you. As you know, if that wasteland in the east of the city is developed, there will be countless wealth flowing into our pockets in the future. Our boss said, as long as you give us a chance to develop together, we are willing to split the profits three-seven with you, with us taking three parts and you taking seven!”

As she spoke, her body inadvertently leaned towards his arm.

Lu Si stepped back to avoid her, not letting her touch him. “I have other arrangements for that piece of land in the east of the city. The specific cooperation hasn’t been finalized yet. Just wait for the news.”

A hint of cunning flashed in Wang’s eyes. Finding that the secretary was useless, he pushed her away disdainfully, then helped Lu Si sit back down in the chair. “Anyway, there’s no need for our two families to become enemies, right? Having one more friend means one less enemy. Master Si, have a drink as a favor?”

The important figures at the dinner table looked nervously in their direction.

Lu Si finally raised his glass, reluctantly clinking it with Wang’s. “Since Mr. Wang is so enthusiastic, I can’t refuse.”

“Thank you, Master Si!” Wang eagerly watched as he took a sip of the red wine in his glass, then downed the entire glass of his own wine. “Master Si is indeed young and promising! From now on, whoever opposes Master Si will be my enemy!”

The people around immediately began to flatter him. Naturally, some wanted to come and toast him. Lu Si had something on his mind, so he drank a little more than he intended, but he was far from being drunk.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Wang pulled the secretary aside and whispered a few words to her. Then the secretary came back with several young, beautiful girls in short skirts.

As the door opened and closed, Lu Si’s chiseled profile came into view.

Ye Yan had just finished a business deal and emerged from another private room, chatting amiably with someone. He happened to catch sight of Lu Si through the slightly ajar door, sparking his curiosity. He found an excuse to linger a while longer.

Shortly after, Secretary Wu returned with several young and beautiful girls, dressed in ultra-short skirts, their figures alluring.

The girls went straight to Lu Si.

Surprised, Ye Yan widened his eyes and quickly took out his phone to take photos. In one of the pictures, Lu Si was talking to one of the girls with his head tilted.

“Sent!” Ye Yan looked smugly at the dozen or so photos he had sent to Mei Shu, feeling that this trip was really worth it!

In the hospital room.

The phone on the bedside table kept buzzing.

Mei Shu woke up from her nap in annoyance, rubbing her eyes sleepily as she reached for her phone, checking the messages with irritation.

As she looked through them, she sat up abruptly in bed.

“Who sent so many women to seduce Ah Si?” Mei Shu carefully examined every person in the photos, narrowing her eyes.
