Chapter 4: Dinner Party With Ulterior Motives

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At the door of the private room, I happened to hear Yuanyuan’s exasperated scolding, “She, don’t be fooled by her smart appearance, she’s actually a little fool. She had believed the flowery words of that man surnamed Lang and resigned to be a housewife. The two of them founded Fuxing Corp. Lawyer Luo, you must help her!”

I held back my tears and held my breath at the door.

“Don’t worry, I’ll do my best.” However, Luo Xingye was a little puzzled, “Mr. Lang is now a successful man. Why is he so determined to get a divorce?”

Yuanyuan lowered her voice and said, “Lawyer Luo, I heard that the man with the surname Lang hooked up with a rich woman and even had an illegitimate child! That woman was the one who forced him to get a divorce! I didn’t dare to tell An Xia about this, in case she gets upset!”

There was a moment of silence.

Actually, I’ve known about this matter for a long time ago. She just pretended not to know for the sake of the first day of the new year.

The waiter came over from afar and served the dishes, so we entered together.

After dinner, Yuanyuan didn’t care about my life and death. She just took her boyfriend and left.

I waited for a taxi with my son on the street and sighed in my heart. She valued her lover over her friends!

A black SUV stopped abruptly and Luo Xingye jumped out of the car. Without even asking me, he opened the door and carried Chuyi in.

There was a child’s seat in the back seat of the car. He skillfully helped Chuyi fasten his seat belt and pulled open the front passenger seat, “Chuyi is already in the car. Aren’t you going to get in?”

“Mom!” He waved at me excitedly.

The restaurant was located in a remote area, so it was not easy to get a taxi. And so, I obediently sat on it.

Luo Xingye was focused on driving. It seemed like he was not going to speak first.

According to my personality in the past, I would have directly asked him if he was that Lang guy’s lackey, but after considering it, my best friend spent a lot of money and she and her boyfriend show some respect to him. If he got angry, wouldn’t it be a waste of other people’s good intentions? Thus, she didn’t dare to ask.

I racked my brains for a long time before asking in a roundabout way, “Lawyer Luo, what do you think are the chances of winning this lawsuit?”

He curled his lips and said with a faint smile, “Zero or a hundred percent.”

I was stunned, what the hell is he talking about?

If they lost, it would be zero, and if they won, it would be 100%?

Hmph!

Old fox.

I kept quiet and he immediately changed the topic, “Big Sis, why did you run away yesterday? Do you have an important appointment?”

Heh, now you’re trying to pry into my privacy? So that he could report this to his superior?

I’m even more suspicious of his position. He’s definitely up to no good.

“Yeah, I have an important appointment!” I decided to play him.

His spirits lifted, and he tilted his head to look at me, “Oh, may I ask what kind of date it is?”

His dark eyes were really beautiful, and his eyelashes were long and slightly curled. If I wasn’t on guard against him, perhaps my heart would have been stirred.

“Of course not!” I said coldly.

Luo Xingye’s face turned a little green as he got the cold shoulder. I was secretly pleased with myself. Little wimp, you still want to act clever in front of this old lady?

He puffed up his cheeks and stepped on the accelerator so hard that the car was about to fly.

I’m guessing he must be angry. Hmph, he deserved it!

Soon, they arrived in front of her cousin’s house.

Chuyi was still sleeping soundly on the car. I called out to him twice, and he opened his eyes in a daze, “Mom, I’m hot!”

His little face was red, and his forehead was sweating.

I held his little hand. Aiyo, it was so hot! Did he have a fever?

What should I do?

Her cousin was single, so she definitely did not have any medicine for children at home. I was so anxious that I broke out in cold sweat.

“Get in the car! Let’s go to the Children’s Hospital!” Luo Xingye calmly closed the car door again.

When we arrived at the Children’s Hospital, my heart was a mess. My legs were so soft that it felt like I was stepping on cotton. I couldn’t even walk a few steps. Therefore, the responsibility of registering for a doctor fell on his shoulders alone.

I hugged Chuyi and diverted some attention to keep an eye on Luo Xingye, afraid that he would take out his phone to inform that Lang guy again.

But he didn’t do that.

I quickly understood, that the Lang guy refused to listen to anyone’s phone call after 8 pm.

Luo Xingye definitely knew the rules. My heart clenched again at the thought that he would give the Lang guy a full report tomorrow.

No! I have to think of a way to stop him from reporting it. Otherwise, I’ll have one more charge in the divorce lawsuit, that I didn’t have the ability to take care of the children.

I racked my brain and thought about it. The nurse rushed over, “His body temperature is 36.2 degrees. It has already dropped. He could be discharged after the IV drip. What kind of parents are you? It’s so cold and you don’t even know how to put on more clothes for the child!”

The doctor said that Chuyi got a cold, which should be due to the temperature in the past few days. I was a little unhappy to be scolded by the nurse. Did she even have eyes? how could he have such a young father?

I was about to explain when I heard Luo Xingye say with a smile, “You’re right, it’s our fault. ”

Our?

What a good lawyer, he wanted to take advantage of everything!

He turned around to look at me, who had an unfriendly expression, and pretended to comfort me, “Don’t worry, the child’s fever is gone. ”

The nurse snorted and walked away, I glared at her back.

It was already 11:30 P.M. by the time he finished the IV drip.

I sat in the back seat of the car with Chuyi in my arms. After he recovered, he was full of energy and his eyes rolled around, “Mom, I’m hungry, I want to eat KFC.”

“No,” I firmly shook my head, “The doctor said no oily food, Not to mention it’s junk food. ”

He pouted his little mouth and thought for a moment, “Then I want to eat some spinach noodles, okay?”

Actually, there wasn’t much to choose from, because I only knew how to make spinach noodles.

I felt pity for him, Chuyi was quite pitiful. Ever since I took him out of the house, he didn’t have a second choice in his diet.

“No problem!” I immediately agreed.

Children were easily satisfied. When he heard that there would be spinach noodles, he was very excited. He continued to make requests, “I want a poached egg!”

I reached out my hand and high-fived Chuyi.

“Can I freeload a bowl?” Luo Xingye turned his head and asked with a smile.

I was a little hesitant.

It’s not that I’m stingy and don’t want to give him noodles to eat, but I really don’t want him to know where we live.

I put on a fake smile and asked, “Lawyer Luo, did you not eat your fill tonight? It’s already very late, so I’m afraid it’s not convenient. ”

If he knew my place, he probably wouldn’t insist. But what I didn’t expect was that Luo Xingye actually started acting.

“I have chronic gastritis.” He held his stomach and pretended to be pitiful, “The doctor said I can’t go hungry, or it will develop into a stomach ulcer.”

Chuyi believed him and widened his eyes, “Really? Uncle Luo is so pitiful. Mom, you should make a bowl of noodles for Uncle too!”

I had no choice but to agree. I sighed inwardly, it seemed that I couldn’t stay at my cousin’s house for long. I had to find a house and move in a few days, just in case!
