Chapter 140 - 140 131 All Are Stereotypes
?Chapter 140: Chapter 131 All Are Stereotypes Chapter 140: Chapter 131 All Are Stereotypes But the caregiver and the round-visiting doctor had just left, and it was around the time when her family would probably be just getting up. Who else would knock on the door at this time?
Wenyan placed the cake back on the bedside table, quickly put on her mask, and then said, “Please come in.”
No matter who was coming now, she couldn’t afford to lose face.
Soon, the door was pushed open from the outside.
In an instant, a woman dressed in professional attire looking mature and competent appeared in Wenyan’s field of vision.
“Hello Miss Shen, my name is Fang Ru, and I am your attorney.”
An attorney??
Wenyan felt somewhat wary, especially since she had just dealt with an impostor producer.
However, if the other party really was an attorney and also addressed her as ‘Miss Shen,’ it was mostly likely arranged by her family.
After all, most people think her last name is Wen.
She took another look at the person: “May I ask who commissioned you, my brother?”
She’d try to test her first, to see if she could mention one of her brothers’ names.
While asking, Wenyan unlocked her phone.
She was about to send a message to Shen Jingxiu when she received a message from him.
‘The attorney Fang Ru is someone I arranged for. I heard she’s already arrived at the ward. She has a good reputation in the industry and is experienced with this type of case. You may listen to her advice, and if there are any uncertainties, you can also ask me.’
Wenyan had just finished reading the message and hadn’t had the chance to reply when Shen Jingxiu sent another photo.
‘This is her identification photo.’
Wenyan: ‘Sending love JPG’
The thoroughness of a diligent big brother, impeccable in his words and actions.
The attorney Ms. Fang looked exactly like her identification photo, leaving no room for doubt.
Attorney Fang calmly accepted Wenyan’s scrutiny and patiently waited until Wenyan put away her phone before she responded to Wenyan’s earlier question.
“Yes, Mr. Shen Jingxiu commissioned me to handle your case. Being a public figure, I understand there may be situations where it’s inconvenient for you to be present. There are some details I would like to discuss with you, if you are available now.”
Perfect!
If not necessary, she indeed had no desire to be coming and going from police stations or courts afterwards.
“I’m available, please take a seat,” she said.
Attorney Fang was very professional, and her way of communication made Wenyan feel relaxed and pleased.
About ten minutes later, their conversation came to a pause.
“That’s all for now, Miss Shen. I will keep in touch with you about the follow-up. I have also communicated with the police, and given your health condition, they will come to the hospital to verify everything personally, so you don’t need to go there.”
As if to prove how true and effective Attorney Fang’s words were, not long after, the police actually did come.
The police questioning went smoothly, and when it was over, Attorney Fang left the ward with the officers.
After Wenyan freshened up, Su Yang brought her a lavish breakfast.
She hadn’t finished a third of it when Shen Jinghe ordered some takeout for her.
Thus, that morning, Wenyan did nothing but eat, browse her phone, and sleep.
As noon approached, Wenyan suddenly received a message from Shen Jingchuan.
It seemed he had just woken up and was asking Wenyan if she wanted breakfast.
Wenyan had already edited her text response, but after a moment’s consideration, she deleted it and chose to send a voice reply instead.
“My dear Mr. Shen Jingchuan, may I ask if you have not yet awoken? It is already time for lunch.”
No sooner had the voice message been sent than Shen Jingchuan’s call came through.
“Not bad, you can talk now.”
Wenyan: “You really did just wake up, didn’t you? Your voice isn’t bad at all, with a little pinching, it would be the perfect bubble tone.”
Shen Jingchuan’s voice, lazy at first, instantly returned to normal: “Get lost! As far as I’m concerned, you are probably ready to be discharged.”
“What? Have you switched careers to being a doctor now? Even if you did, do you have a license?”
“Tsk, cut the crap. What do you want for lunch? I’ll go buy it for you.”
“You’re being so nice?”
“Otherwise? You’re a shareholder of my club, having invested a whopping five million. Come on, what do you want to eat?”
“Mom said she would have Auntie Zhang bring me lunch. What would you like? I’ll tell Auntie Zhang to bring something for you too.”
The stubborn Shen Jingchuan: “That won’t do, tell Auntie Zhang not to bring it. I’m treating today. Just tell me what you want to eat?”
After careful consideration, Wenyan replied: “That sounds good. Mom said Auntie Zhang arranged a light, nourishing meal for me, but nourishing meals, as far as I’m concerned, only scrape an acquaintance with the word ‘colorful’. I want to eat fried tripe, and spicy crab, pick a big one for the crab. It would be great to have some duck, I just saw a food vlogger eating it and it made me crave it. Then add a chicken soup, I feel like having some. Thanks, Fourth Brother!”
“…… cancel the meal from Auntie Zhang, but forget about the rest, get lost.”
Shen Jingchuan hung up without giving Wenyan a chance to reply.
By the time Wenyan finished a movie at double speed, Shen Jingchuan arrived.
He came with several servers and two dining carts.
Two full dining carts!
Only after the servers had set up the food and left did Wenyan speak to Shen Jingchuan.
“Now I see why you wore a mask today, you knew you’d draw too much attention looking like this.”
“How could that be? Come over here and sit down.”
Wenyan walked over and glanced at the food: “Except for the chicken soup, none of the things I ordered are here. The doctor said I don’t need to avoid any specific foods.”
“Just because you don’t have food restrictions doesn’t mean you can eat that much spicy food all at once. Anyway, you won’t go wrong by listening to me. Look at this vibrant green pak choi, this pure white steamed fish, and this golden chicken soup, aren’t they all rich in color, fragrance, and flavor?”
As Shen Jingchuan spoke, he took off his mask.
Wenyan looked at him and immediately froze.
“My goodness! Did you get poisoned like me? Why do you have blisters on your mouth?”
Shen Jingchuan unconsciously touched his lips: “Is it still very obvious?”
“… Somewhat. What happened?”
“It’s nothing, just that I ate all the crayfish and barbecue in the car last night.”
Wenyan: “……. So, the food you were originally planning to buy for us to eat together, you ate it all yourself? A portion for two all by yourself? No wonder you advised me not to eat too spicy.”
“Yeah!”
Wenyan couldn’t help but give Shen Jingchuan a thumbs-up: “But impressive, diligently wasting no morsel, you didn’t waste a bit!”
“Nonsense, wasting food is shameful! Besides, money should be spent wisely. Since I bought it, I certainly couldn’t let it go to waste.”
Knowing that Shen Jingchuan was short on money but not realizing he was also so frugal, it seemed her, and her family’s impression of him had been too stereotypical in the past. He was not the kind of profligate second-generation rich kid who squanders money recklessly.
