Chapter 248: 241: Changling, I’m Pursuing You (Second Update)

Wen Changling instinctively tucked her hands behind her back, “Go to sleep early.”

The medicine had been delivered; she had fulfilled her neighborly duty. Wen Changling put on the hood of her coat and just as she stepped into the snow, she stopped.

She turned around, “It snowed today.”

“Hmm?” Through the fluttering snow, Xie Shang focused his gaze on her.

“There’s this unreliable person who said that making a wish on the first snow is very effective.”

Xie Shang laughed, “Then, may I make a wish?”

Wen Changling blinked, the snow on her eyelashes falling off, and immediately refused, “You can’t.” She didn’t know why she mentioned making a wish.

Xie Shang only listened to half of what she said, knowing that Miss Wen was more agreeable tonight, “I hope you’ll remove me from your blacklist.”

A big wish would not be granted by Miss Wen, so he voiced a small one.

“I said you can’t.”

Xie Shang coughed again; the collar of his shirt wasn’t high, revealing his neck and collarbones, which stood out starkly with his coughing motion.

Wen Changling found it so annoying, she went forward to take the medicine back, and commanded in an impatient tone, “Go back and lie down.”

She brushed off the snow from herself and walked towards the house.

Xie Shang held her back, “Don’t come in.” His eyes were slightly red from sickness, shimmering, “It’s contagious.”

Xie Shang did not exert much strength, and with a tug Wen Changling pulled away, “It won’t, I’m made of reinforced steel concrete.”

She placed the medicine on the table and went to pour a glass of water.

Xie Shang didn’t close the door, put on his mask, and sat back down on the bed. Miss Wen was not made of reinforced concrete; she was easily softened by emotions.

Wen Changling carefully read the instructions on the medicine, measured out the doses for the three pills into the cap, and handed them to Xie Shang.

“Why did you wait for me at the intersection?”

Xie Shang swallowed the medicine, “Do you really not know?” Preferring directness over beating around the bush, he confessed, “Changling, I’m pursuing you.”

Miss Fu’s exact words were: She easily softens for those she truly cares about.

As she stood silently, Xie Shang maintained his gaze into her eyes, beyond the tenderness was a trace of assertiveness that did not allow her to retreat or dodge.

“You came to bring me medicine because you care about me, right?”

Miss Wen answered with brazen confidence, “I care, oh, I super like your body.”

Xie Shang sighed, “I’m sick today, I can’t fulfill your needs.”

Wen Changling: “…”

He was really super annoying!

She turned around to go home.

“Changling.”

She nearly stopped immediately.

Xie Shang’s voice was deliberately suppressed, yet coughs interrupted him intermittently, “If you find it noisy, take off your hearing aid, but wear the wristband.”

“Worry about yourself.”

Wen Changling left, and outside the snow had stopped. There was no white on the ground; the early snow left silently.

The next morning, Wen Changling found an unread message.

[Good night]

She remembered, she had removed Xie Shang from the blacklist before falling asleep last night.

They had a three-day holiday for New Year’s Day, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday off, with a make-up workday on Sunday.

On Sunday, Xie Yanli came to Flower Chamber Hall.

She complained while peeling an apple, “I told you he would waste all of Xie Family’s wealth and you were upset, look at KE now, its reputation is completely ruined, who knows how much business will be lost.”

Xie Jingxian, who was bedridden, had just felt a bit better today, but hearing this, his breathing became labored again, “Enough.”

“After he’s done such things, am I not even allowed to speak ill of him?”

Due to the KE scandal, Xie Yanli’s investments were also affected, and she blamed it all on Xie Shang.

“If you want to complain, go back to your own home.”

There was phlegm in Xie Jingxian’s throat, making unusual noises when he breathed heavily.

Only then did Xie Yanli stop, “I won’t say anymore, don’t get angry.”

She handed over the peeled apple.

Xie Jingxian waved his hand.

Uncle Zhong, who was taking care of Xie Jingxian, thought that the third young miss was ignorant. How could a sick person eat something cold? She wasn’t here to visit the sick but to add to the trouble, speaking thoughtlessly.

Xie Yanli put the apple aside, “Dad, Yingying is still outside. Hearing you were ill, she was very worried about you, and specially simmered soup to bring over. Why not let her come in?”

More trouble was added.

Xie Jingxian was so angry that his chest heaved, “I may be sick, not dead. If you want your step-daughter to set foot in the Xie Family’s door, wait until I’m dead!”

Still shielding Xie Shang.

Xie Yanli, undeterred, continued to speak well of her step-daughter, “Yingying is also kindhearted—”

Xie Jingxian gasped and coughed, clenching his fist, with phlegm stuck in his throat, difficult to breathe.

Even Uncle Zhong couldn’t stand to watch, while helping the old master to breathe, he also slowed down the IV drip: “Third young miss, you should go back first.” It would mean less trouble.

Xie Yanli still felt wronged, dragging her feet for quite a while before finally getting up to leave.

The door slammed loudly behind her.

Xie Jingxian shook his head, “Each and every one of them, what a bunch of demons and monsters.”

Uncle Zhong handed over warm water, “Just now, I heard Doctor Luo talking on the phone with your fourth son.” Uncle Zhong also realized Xie Shang was sick, but knowing the old master was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, he didn’t mention Xie Shang’s illness, lest the old master worry, only saying, “Your fourth son is very concerned about your health. The medicinal incense in this room was sent by him, it can warm the kidneys and clear the heart.”

In his heart, Uncle Zhong understood that Xie Jingxian’s kicking Xie Shang out of the Xie Family wasn’t because he was willing to let go of his grandson, but because he couldn’t accept the situation momentarily and was caught in self-deception and an escapist mentality.

One of his sons caused the death of another, how could he accept that?

“Did you verify that matter?”

“It’s been verified.”

Xie Jingxian wouldn’t just listen to one side, he ordered Uncle Zhong to verify immediately, “Was Liangjiang there in Wind Town at that time?”

Uncle Zhong’s expression was grave, “Yes.”

If there was no guilt in one’s heart, there was no need to hide one’s whereabouts.

Xie Jingxian’s eyes brimmed with hot tears, filled with extreme regret, “All of this was caused by me, I’ve not been impartial.”

Uncle Zhong consoled, “Master, don’t think like that.”

Someone knocked on the door outside the room, and Uncle Zhong went to open it.

It was Xie Jingxian’s cousin, Xie Jingchong.

“How are you feeling now?”

Xie Jingxian sat up from his bed, “Who knows, might see your second uncle any day now.” His hair was now fully white, and he was tired even from breathing, “With the law firm in such a state, I have no face to see him.”

The KE Law Firm was founded jointly by Xie Jingxian and his two cousins.

“You take good care of yourself. Don’t worry about the law firm.”

Xie Jingxian was overburdened with worry, “Our second son, playing the fool for so many years, is no good either. Who knows what trouble he’ll cause next.”

Xie Jingchong shook his head, “It’s not the second son, the real power still lies with Xiao Shang.”

Now, a large part of the members of the Management Committee at KE Law Firm were newly appointed by Xie Shang, and his word was more influential than Xie Jiwen’s.

Xie Jingchong said, “Xiao Shang is already carrying out internal restructuring. Ease your mind, he still cares about you, he doesn’t truly want to destroy the law firm.”

Xie Jingxian snorted angrily, “He’s so capable, full of schemes, looks down on everyone, no one can control him.”

“Really driven him out of the house?”

Xie Jingxian was still annoyed at Xie Shang, “He probably can’t wait to not carry the Xie surname.”
