Chapter 24
Wu Tong made two cups of coffee, put one of them in front of Li Min, and said, "I only have instant ones here."
"I'm not in the mood for coffee, hurry up." Li Min moved the coffee aside.
Wu Tong sat on the sofa with a smile, hugged the coffee cup, and said, "Actually, it's nothing. To put it simply, I went on a blind date, then went on a trip and got married."
"Blind date? You went on a blind date? Why did you went a blind date?" Li Min threw down a series of questions.
"It's a coincidence." Wu Tong gathered her thoughts and told the story as calmly as she could. "You also know that I've been bothering my second uncle about Xiao Yuan's business. They probably stopped talking to me because I pushed too hard," she said.
"He is also his nephew; how could he refuse to save him?" Li Min felt distressed when she thought of Wu Tong's distraught state during that time.
"Do you want to continue listening?" Wu Tong actually didn't really want to talk about this experience.
"Speak, you continue to talk." Li Min pretended to listen attentively.
"I found out that the second uncle's family would go to the Emperor Hotel, and then I ran there to talk to them, and then..." Wu Tong slowly narrated what happened that day.
"So you actually stole your cousin's blind date?" Li Min was dumbfounded.
"What are you thinking?" Wu Tong rolled her eyes and said, "To be precise, it should be that they didn't like each other, and then..."
"The blind date fell in love with you." Li Min had a gossip-like expression on her face. "I didn't expect such a bloody plot to be staged next to me?"
Wu Tong sat on the sidelines, watching her best friend make up stories without interfering.
"Although your second uncle is not very rich in the imperial capital, his family's assets are several hundred million, so the blind date he found for his daughter should not be too bad." Li Min put down the coffee cup in her hand, Rubbing against Wu Tong's side, she said flatteringly, "Honey, which family is your husband from?"
"The young master of the Qin family." Wu Tong didn't hide anything.
"The eldest son of the Qin family, the Qin family..." Li Min filtered all the dignified figures in the emperor's capital into her mind. The first one that jumped into her mind was Qin Ge, and then she vetoed herself, and after careful screening, there was still nothing. Those who meet the requirements can only continue to ask: "What's his name, and what does he do at home?"
"His name is Qin Ge, and his family is..."
"Qin Ge!!!" Li Min stood up abruptly, staring at Wu in disbelief. "The wealthiest man in the capital, the Qin family, Qin Ge, who just returned from the army?" Tong inquired.
"You know him?" Wu Tong asked suspiciously.
"How could I not know him."
"But you seem to know him very well."
"Understood? I heard that the eldest son of the Qin family is really interesting in the social circle of the imperial capital's ladies." Li Min sighed.
"Is there any other gossip about him?" Wu Tong couldn't help laughing when she saw her best friend's exaggerated expression.
"You're still laughing, let me tell you something." Li Min sorted out the news she had gathered from all directions and said, "This young master Qin is also a weirdo, and other men would want to run their company; they would go abroad to study management then come back to take over their family business. However, instead of doing that, he has gone to serve as a soldier. Tell me if he is sick."
"This sick person is now my husband." With a frown, Wu Tong reminded him.
"I didn't say that on purpose. It's been rumored outside. I haven't talked about the climax yet." Li Min continued, "About two years ago, this young master Qin retired due to an injury. What kind of injury did he suffer? Everyone doesn't know, but two years ago, the Qin family spent a lot of money to find countless psychiatrists at home and abroad, and then slowly, the gossip that went over the social circle is that, this young master Qin is mentally ill."
Wu Tong felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that. Based on the time they've spent together, Qin Ge seems, at best, short-tempered and not crazy.
"Originally, this kind of rumor would be self-defeating if he came out, but the strange thing is that for two full years, few people saw him, so this rumor became more and more true."
"The rumors are not credible." Wu Tong said.
"The gossip is not yet over." Li Min was dissatisfied with Wu Tong's interruption, and continued, "The point is that, at the beginning of this year, Mrs. Qin, oh, it should be your mother-in-law now, started looking for a daughter-in-law. It is said that she has searched out all the famous ladies in the imperial capital. Later, I don’t know why, but gradually there are rumors that this young master Qin looks fierce, behaves vulgarly, and has violent tendencies. It is said that he even gave a girl the business card of a psychiatrist, so the fact that he has a mental illness is probably true."
Wu Tong suddenly remembered that Qin Ge had given him the business card of a psychiatrist when he sent her home the first day. Even if she had a good impression of him when she met him for the first time, after seeing a psychiatrist, she probably would not have any reason to further contact him. Thinking of this, Wu Tong suddenly felt a little distressed. Although this man is rascal and domineering, he is cute and silly.
"Wu Tong..." Li Min suddenly looked at Wu Tong seriously.
"What is it?"
"Tell me honestly, are these rumors true?" Li Min asked.
"Didn't I already tell you that the rumors are not credible."
"Then why did you marry him?" Li Min said, "Don't you dare tell me it's love at first sight, or that his family has money, I won't believe it."
"I... ..." Wu Tong didn't know how to tell her best friend the answer to this question, she didn't want to lie to her, but also didn't want her to be sad.
"Speak." Li Min knew her best friend all too well, and she could tell from Wu Tong's dodging eyes that there had to be a reason, "Why?"
Wu Tong patted Li Min's hand while holding her shoulder and comforted her: "If you don't want to tell me, then take your time. I'll wait."
When Li Min let go of her, Wu Tong said: "My second uncle's company encountered a little difficulty and needed Qin's family help. Originally, the two of them were planning to marry, but something changed because of my relationship. Later, my second uncle looked for me, and then I agreed."
"What do you mean you agreed? You said it so lightly, you lied to me." Li Min slapped the table again, "I know what's going on with your brother, but why did the second uncle suddenly realize his conscience and agree to go to the hospital for a type match. Didn't he use Xiao Yuan to force you?"
"Now that I think about it, I was also forcing him." Wu Tong smiled wryly.
She knew that her brother would die if no suitable bone marrow could be found, so Wu Tong would go to her second uncle again to ask for his help. They are the only hope that she has to extend her brother's life, and she would do anything in her power to do that even if she has been regarded as an annoying relative by them.
Thinking about it now, people have different things that they regard as important. But deep down in Wu Tong's heart, she still hopes that human society can have more kindness and empathy.
because of that feeling of helplessness and hopelessness.
"Can it be the same? Even a stranger would be willing to voluntarily donate bone marrow." Li Min said, "Besides, you are still relatives."
"I hope that it could have been that easy."
"Okay, Xiao Yuan's illness is cured now, and the Qin family's help should be in place." Li Min said firmly, "Find a time to divorce him."
"I know that what you are saying is for my own good; however, what if my second uncle changes his mind about the donation? I already invested a lot in this, and I don't want everything to go to waste."
"I..." Li Min always felt that there was something wrong with the logic, but she was blocked and couldn't find the right words for a while.
"Besides, Qin Ge is pretty good. Most of the rumors are inaccurate, so don't believe them. I'll let you meet him someday when you're free." Wu Tong said.
"Really?" Li Min thought about it for a while but still didn't believe it, "If the rumors are all false, then why is Mrs. Qin looking for blind dates everywhere? With Qin's family, how many girls should have been rushing forward."
"Maybe ... Qin Ge likes me?" Wu Tong playfully blinked.
Li Min looked at her friend with a ruddy face. It really didn't look like she had been abused, but she was still a little worried. She walked over and started to pull Wu Tong's clothes with her hand.
"What are you doing, Let go, Why are you pulling my clothes?" Wu Tong screamed and hid.
After a long while, Li Min smiled sinisterly with a bullying attitude: "The married life is quite intense."
"Fuck, let go." Wu Tong pushed the person away with a red face, a little embarrassed on her face.
However, Li Min's complexion improved a lot.
Liu Yuan, who just walked to the door, saw two women making a mess inside, smiled, knocked on the door, and said, "What's making both of you so happy?"
"Wu Tong, she..." Wu Tong stood up and hurriedly covered Li Min's big mouth.
"Hehe...it seems to be a lady's secret." Liu Yuan didn't really want to pry into other people's privacy, so he just continued, "Sister Wu Tong, the children's clothes you designed last time are selling well, Isn't it already autumn? Now, the factory is about to start preparing winter clothes, hurry up and design a few more."
"Okay." Wu Tong nodded repeatedly.
"Then I'll leave you both then."
After Liu Yuan walked away, Wu Tong let go of Li Min and said, "Min Min, don't go out and tell them that I'm married."
"Why?" Li Min asked.
"I'm afraid you'll say things you shouldn't have said." Wu Tong said, "Besides, when you meet senior Liu Yuan, you are acting stupid."
"I just like him, why?" Li Min has had a crush on Liu Yuan for several years. Yes, Wu Tong has always been watching her.
"What I said to you, don't you dare say it to anyone, even Senior Liu Yan."
"I won't."
Wu Tong looked at her watch, it was almost eleven o'clock, "It's so late, I still have to sort out the materials, you hurry back, I'm going to be busy "
"Alright, I still have a lot of things to do as well, you aren't the only one who's busy here." Li Min walked to the door angrily, then turned around and added, "When will you bring your husband out to meet me?"
"Weekend." Wu Tong said.
"Too far, how about you take me back tonight and have dinner at your house." After finishing speaking, she made a decision without waiting for Wu Tong's agreement, "That's settled then."
Wu Tong looked at her best friend, who had closed the door and left speechlessly. and could only shake her head with a wry smile.
Because of Xiao Yuan's hospitalization, she already had a backlog of work, and with her honeymoon trip, Wu Tong really had a lot to do, so she had to go back to work the next day after returning to China.
As soon as she started to concentrate on her work, time flew by, and it was already seven o'clock in the evening when Li Min knocked on Wu Tong's office door again.
Just like that, Wu Tong went to the material room to pick up a pile of fabrics, planning to go home at night to find inspiration.
"You wait for me at the gate, and I'll drive the car over." Li Min said.
"You really want to go, it's so late, how can I have time to cook for you?" Wu Tong said.
"Then call your husband and ask your husband to come out to eat." Li Min went straight to the parking lot after speaking.
Wu Tong had no choice but to walk to the gate with a pile of fabrics in her arms and pull out her phone to send a WeChat message to Qin Ge. In the end, the phone turned on more than a dozen missed calls and hundreds of WeChat notifications.
I'm going...
Wu Tong hurriedly dialed his number, and he immediately answered the call. Wu Tong didn't think about anything and started to apologize first: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I turned my phone to silent when I was working this afternoon, and I didn't hear it. Are you all right?"
"I have something to do." Qin Ge held his breath, glanced at Feifei in the back seat, and said, "Fei Fei asked when you leave work?"
"Why is Fei Fei is not talking?" Wu Tong was puzzled.
"He doesn't want to tell you."
Feifei heard her name and looked up at his father sitting in front of him, and found that the other party was not talking to him, so he lowered his head and continued to play the Rubik's Cube.
"Oh... I'm off work, and I'm waiting for the car now."
"Do you want me to pick you up?" Qin Ge looked through the car window and saw Wu Tong walking out of the gate with a bunch of things in her arms.
"No need, my best friend will send me back later, By the way, I want to introduce her to you." Wu Tong hesitated and said, "Why don't you go find a restaurant near our house and let's have dinner together "
"..."
"What's the matter? Is it inconvenient?" Wu Tong didn't hear Qin Ge's reply, so she asked a little nervously.
"You... want to introduce... your friend to me?" Qin Ge asked for confirmation in a low voice.
"Can't I?" Wu Tong also asked in a low voice.
"Since you have said so, I still have to give you face.**" Qin Ge pretended to be forceful.
**not to embarrass her.
Wu Tong rolled her eyes.
At this time, Li Min drove the car and stopped in front of Wu Tong, lowered the window, and shouted: "Get in the car."
Wu Tong nodded, and said to the other end of the phone: "I'll go now, I'll be home in about forty minutes, Send me a WeChat message after you have chosen a place."
Qin Ge hung up the phone with a smile, looked at his face in the rearview mirror, turned back, and asked Feifei excitedly: "Fei Fei, Mom wants to bring friends to see us, You said whether we should go home and change clothes before we go, this outfit is too casual."
Feifei twisted the Rubik's Cube with a click, and when it was perfectly restored, he looked up at Qin Ge as if he didn't notice how casual he was.
Wu Tong hung up the phone and wanted to put the phone in her bag, but because there were too many things in her arms, she couldn't hold it steady and scattered it all over the steps.
Wu Tong hurriedly squatted down to pick it up. Seeing that there were a lot of things, Li Min also got out of the car to pick them up. When the two of them finished picking up things, Liu Yuan happened to drive over. Seeing the two of them holding a bunch of things, he asked, "Can I help you?" "
"No..."
"Yes." Li Min bumped into Wu Tong quietly and said, "My car suddenly stopped starting."
Wu Tong secretly glanced at Li Min's car, wondering when she turned off the engine .
"Then you have so many things, it must not be easy to go back, I will send you." Liu Yuan said.
"Okay, okay." Li Min turned her head and winked quietly at Wu Tong, then got into Liu Yuan's car spontaneously.
"Wu Tong, come up too." Liu Yuan urged.
"Oh, no need, we're not on the way, I'd better take a taxi." Wu Tong didn't dare disturb her best friend's flirting with her crush.
"Let me see you off. It's not easy to take a taxi at this point." After speaking, Liu Yuan got out of the car and helped Wu Tong open the door of the back seat himself.
Wu Tong glanced at Li Min quietly, and saw Li Min shaking her head crazily there, so she also shook her head crazily at Liu Yuan: "I'm alright, senior Liu Yuan, you can just send Min Min off, I can take a taxi faster."
"You are carrying so many things, it's not convenient to take a taxi, so I'll take you there." Liu Yuan stretched out his hand to pick up the things in Wu Tong's hands, and looked from a distance as if the two were tugging.
"'I'm totally fine, really."
Just when the two were at agruing, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side, grabbed Liu Yuan's collar, and pressed him against the car door: "What are you trying to do?"
"Who are you, What are you doing, Let me go, or I'll call the police." Liu Yuan was suddenly pressed down by a man with a scar on his face and a fierce expression, and he was quite frightened.
"Call the police, and I'll throw you out before the police arrive."
"Qin Ge, what are you doing?" Wu Tong just came back to her senses, when she saw the man swinging his fist and about to hit Liu Yuan, almost without thinking, she dropped the fabrics that she was holding, ran over, and hugged Qin Ge's arm.
