Chapter 1575
Xia Ruqing: "..."
She was shocked for a long time and couldn’t come to her senses.
It was not until Wenwen desperately tugged at her sleeve that she gradually regained clarity.
"Um..."
"I’m sorry, I was a bit impulsive just now..."
She looked at the proud Shih Qianjin in front of her, then at Zhao Junyao beside her, whose clothes were quite mismatched, feeling a bit doubtful.
At this moment, Wenwen nodded and said,
"Yes! Yes!"
"I always felt he looked familiar, didn’t I?"
"I thought it was just a coincidence, but now he really does look a bit like the missing young master of the Zhao Group!"
Wenwen became excited.
Xia Ruqing was even more incredulous and turned to look at Wenwen.
"No way, aren’t you the one who watches the news all the time? If the person from the news is often around, how could you not recognize him?"
Seeing Xia Ruqing’s puzzled face,
Wenwen also felt a bit embarrassed.
"I’m sorry!"
"I’ve been a bit busy these days, and you’ve been working overtime like crazy, we really haven’t seen each other much!"
"Also, he looks quite different from the photos in the news that have been heavily Photoshopped, his clothes, shoes, and hairstyle are all different, I just didn’t recognize him at first!"
"After all, I’ve never seen the real person before!"
"And... I don’t even know exactly what the young master of the Zhao Group is called!"
"I can’t even remember his name frequently!" Wenwen said to Zhao Junyao.
His name is so awkward, don’t people just get used to calling him ’hey’?"
Besides.
Actually, the young master of the Zhao Group’s name is rarely used, everyone just calls him the young master of the Zhao Group.
As time goes by, his identity and status have become more famous than his name.
Most of the ordinary people around only know his title and not his real name.
So, how was she supposed to know that this Zhao Junyao was the young master of the Zhao Group?
The most important thing is that the person in front of her doesn’t have the same aura as that dashing young master in the news!
If it wasn’t for Shih Qianjin proving it.
She wouldn’t believe even if she was directly told!
"Xiao Qingqing, I’m sorry, you know I’m forgetful!"
Wenwen was very remorseful.
Not recognizing the person in front of her, she always felt a bit guilty, and also felt sorry for her title as the queen of gossip.
Xia Ruqing also looked helpless.
"Alright!"
"Come to think of it!"
"Who would have thought someone who appears frequently in the news would one day be by their side?"
This is really just human nature, she understood.
People’s wealth and status always need some things to bolster them, luxury cars, beautiful women, and whatnot.
Looking at Zhao Junyao’s current state, if you pull him onto the street and tell anyone he’s the Zhao Family’s young master, they wouldn’t buy it!
...
After sorting things out, Xia Ruqing heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Since you’re sure this is the young master of the Zhao Family, then take him back!"
"As for my medical expenses..."
Xia Ruqing looked at Shih Qianjin in front of her.
The implication was that she could take the person away, but she had to cover the medical fees.
Shih Wanxin understood.
She generously took out a card from her luxurious handbag.
"One million, is that enough?"
With her slender and fair fingers, she tossed the delicate and light card towards Xia Ruqing.
Before Xia Ruqing could catch it, the card fell to the ground with a ’snap,’ and her expression changed slightly as her hands remained empty.
Wenwen, standing by, was immediately furious and was about to step up when Xia Ruqing stopped her.
Xia Ruqing glared at Shih Wanxin.
"What kind of attitude is this?"
Shih Wanxin said nothing but took out another card from her bag and threw it to the ground.
"Two million, is that enough?"
Wenwen was finally pushed to her limit.
"Hey! What do you mean by this? Is it so hard to say thank you? Don’t think you can bully us just because we’re poor!"
Shih Wanxin looked at her, sneered with disdain.
"If it weren’t for you saving Ah Yao’s life!"
"I wouldn’t be so courteous!"
"You all watch the news, you must know!"
"Last month, Ah Yao and I got engaged, he is my fiancé!"
"Now, besides me, no one else should think of getting close to him!"
"I understand you girls from the slums all too well!"
"Don’t think I don’t know your intentions!"
"Pretending to be friends but using all those underhanded methods like being a mistress to advance!"
"Hmph! I absolutely won’t allow it!"
After she finished, she pulled Zhao Junyao to leave, throwing one last sentence behind.
"Think of this two million as a token of appreciation, from now on Ah Yao doesn’t know you, and you shouldn’t come looking for him!"
Finished, she strode away in her exquisite high heels.
Zhao Junyao felt quite helpless.
He wondered to himself: Was Wanxin his beloved mistress in a past life, innocent, lively and cute, and how did she become like this in this lifetime...
However, to prevent Wanxin from causing trouble for Xia Ruqing and Wenwen again, it’s better for him to leave first.
There would be plenty of opportunities to contact them in the future.
He gave Xia Ruqing a look to stay calm, and then left with Shih Wanxin.
...
Watching their backs disappear at the entrance of the underground garage.
Wenwen picked up the two cards from the ground and consoled Xia Ruqing.
"Xiao Qingqing, don’t be sad!"
"At least, Zhao Junyao has found his family!"
"In the next couple of days, the police might have a notice, we’ve pretty much wrapped up this matter!"
"Take this money!"
Xia Ruqing looked at those two cards, somewhat dazed.
For some reason, she felt something was off.
Thinking long and hard, she still couldn’t pinpoint what’s wrong.
At the moment she took the card, there was a brief moment of clarity in her mind, and she murmured.
"That Shih Qianjin!"
"Does she think this money can buy back Zhao Junyao’s life?"
Wenwen complained a bit.
"Oh, Xiao Qingqing, you’re probably overjoyed!"
"How are other people’s wealthy affairs related to us?"
"They are a couple, we should stay out of it!"
"With this money, you’re quite the rich lady now!"
Wenwen got excited again.
Xia Ruqing glanced at those two cards indifferently, forced a smile.
"Yes! A rich lady!"
She said it, but inside she didn’t feel happy at all.
She always felt this was an unexpected fortune, and she was uneasy spending it!
...
In the afternoon.
After accompanying Wenwen to the hospital, the two returned home.
Xia Ruqing went upstairs and packed all of Zhao Junyao’s things, moving her own luggage back upstairs.
After a whole busy afternoon, she finally finished organizing everything by late afternoon.
Exhausted, Xia Ruqing collapsed onto the bed and slept for more than two hours before getting up to eat.
When Wenwen saw her getting by with just a bowl of noodles again, she couldn’t help but say,
"Oh, Xiao Qingqing, you’re a rich lady, why eat noodles?"
"You should treat Xiaoxiao and me to a meal at Haidilao!"
"I’ve only heard of their good service, never actually been in there!"
