It’s amusing how a thought just popped into my head. My dad will be coming to Lake City tonight; he wants to talk to you all, so I won’t be joining you. I have more important matters to attend to.
How could I have forgotten? Wang Ju'en mentioned that her dad would come looking for me tonight! I thought her father might act similarly to her, but now it seems they are completely different. I never expected Wang Shang to be so polite in his speech.
“Hello, Uncle Wang. I'm injured and can't get up to greet you, so please make yourself comfortable.”
“It’s alright, I know you’re hurt. Just lie down quietly for now. When your father arrives, we can have a proper discussion.”
“Them?” It seems Old Zhao has invited others as well. It’s easy to guess who they might be—most likely Ouyang Xiong, Lin Tian, and Hu Zhi.
After saying this, Wang Shang walked toward the sofa. However, instead of sitting down like a normal person, he touched the sofa first, lifted his hand to inspect it, and then sat down.
I noticed this action; I couldn’t believe that someone with such a bulky figure would have cleanliness issues!
Watching Wang Shang glance around, his gaze finally landed on me again.
“Ha! I didn’t expect Zhao Changsheng to be so stingy. His son got shot and is stuck in such a small hospital room.”
??? I felt dazed as I listened; every word that came from his mouth was clear, yet I struggled to comprehend the meaning behind them.
What does he mean by such a small room? This is the best room in Lake City First People's Hospital! This is a hospital, not a hotel!
And why bring Old Zhao into this? What does he have to do with it? This is simply an issue of medical facilities.
I frowned at Wang Shang and said, “Uncle Wang, you’ve traveled far and seen more of the world than I’ve had meals. Our Lake City may not be as developed as those big cities, but it will always be Lake City.”
The last sentence was heavily implied; someone with Wang Shang’s intellect would definitely understand what I meant, which also reflected my growing anger.
I don’t care if you’re Wang Shang or anyone else; this is Lake City! Not Guangdong Province!
Wang Shang looked at me calmly and said in a steady tone, “You and your dad share quite the temper. I can understand that young people can be hot-headed, but being arrogant will eventually lead to trouble. You’re the perfect example of that right now.”
Is he calling me a hothead? Well then, let me show you what a hothead looks like today!
At that moment, one thought consumed my mind: I don’t care who he is; I’ll throw a punch regardless! If my wound opens up again, so what? If I faint again, who cares? That’s the attitude young people should have! If you’re going to cower in fear, then go back home and find your mommy!
As I braced myself to get up, he remained seated and continued talking calmly as if he wanted to provoke me into action. “You’re just like your dad—always ready to fight at the slightest disagreement. Don’t you want to know why they would want to lay hands on you? Don’t you want to know why your father has protected you so well since childhood that it took this incident for you to finally learn about it?”
His words made me pause immediately. To say I didn’t want to know would be a lie; those two questions were incredibly tempting for me.
I had to admit that when it came to understanding people’s hearts, this was indeed his strength. And being a businessman, he was surely motivated by profit.
“Speak up then; what are your conditions?”
“Hahaha! The student surpasses the master! I enjoy talking with straightforward people; you're much more interesting than your father.”
I thought perhaps Wang Ju'en had spent too much time abroad, which led her personality and speech patterns to differ greatly from those of people back home. Now meeting Wang Shang made me realize that it wasn’t her fault; I truly couldn’t understand his way of thinking at all.
He noticed my increasingly unpleasant expression and stopped teasing me. It wasn't difficult at all.
"You're not going to make me fulfill the marriage contract, are you?"
Before he could finish his sentence, I instinctively thought of something and interrupted him.
Then he suddenly roared, "Has no one taught you not to interrupt others when they're speaking?"
