After the poor daughter was exposed: bigwigs from all walks of life went crazy

"Here, this is the last bucket."

Shen Shu never thought that one day she would compete with one of the powerful people in the Liming Society for two buckets of braised beef noodles in a small rental house.

She felt that this person might never have the chance to eat this kind of fast food in his life.

Moreover, his appearance and accent sounded like that of a Chinese from Country Z. However, according to her observations during those few days in Miami, Xu Heqing ate Chinese food very rarely, which was directly related to the poor cooking skills of the chefs hired there.

It’s quite pitiful to think this way, because no matter how white people cook their food abroad, it tastes the same and not very good, and it’s also high in calories.

In her previous life, Yang Lili went to the UK as an exchange student for a year while attending university. Less than a month after arriving, she called and cried, "Why is my life so hard? The food here is so bad. I only have one meal a day, and I gained four kilograms."

Thinking of this, she suddenly burst into laughter. Xu Heqing looked up at her calmly and thought to himself, is this funny?

The two of them ate in silence, but their eyes were surprisingly fixed on the melodramatic time-travel drama on TV.

Shen Shu was watching with great interest when he heard the man next to him say in a disastrous tone, "The actors, costumes, props, and sets, I think the investment won't be more than 3 million. But the subject matter is relatively new in the Z country market. I see advertisement posters everywhere on the streets. It should be a hit drama. The producers can make at least three times more from this drama."

She was suddenly stunned, and sighed in her heart that what a wicked capitalist he was, he couldn't even stop eating instant noodles.

"Mr. Xu, now that you are conscious, please tell me what happened to you."

Shen Shu decisively pressed the power off button on the TV, his expression slightly restrained and his eyes gradually became sharper.

"We came to Zhengzhou to discuss cooperation, but there's a traitor. Everyone close to us, including Bill, is a suspect." Xu Heqing was silent for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to adjust his glasses, but then he remembered that his glasses were broken.

It was close to her guess, but he was obviously unwilling to say more. After all, it was not glorious for such a thing to happen internally, and Shen Shu could understand it to some extent.

"Then why did you come to see me?"

"We have a vested interest in each other. You will not stand by and watch someone die."

Xu Heqing was referring to his promise to perform surgery on Zheng Wanhua. This condition was obtained at the cost of Shen Shu's life, and he would never let him lose his life.

At the moment of the accident, his first reaction was to come to her. Perhaps it was not only because of the interests involved, but also because he knew her character to some extent.

Shen Shu didn't know whether to say he was smart or pitiful. Although the most stable relationship between people in the world is interest, Xu Heqing, who was at the top of the money and power, had no one to trust except for the interest relationship. He had no choice but to find her, whom he had only met a few times.

"Who knows you're here?"

"No one is there. I just found the address. I chose a small road with no surveillance, so they can't find it."

"What are you going to do next?"

"After you recover from your injuries, find an opportunity to return to Country M and clean up the mess."

Xu Heqing's tone was as calm and noble as ever, and he said the cruelest words calmly. If he hadn't been holding a bucket of braised beef noodles in his hand, the scene might have been even more beautiful.

Looking at his pale and weak appearance, and recalling how dignified and elegant he was when they last met, surrounded by bodyguards, Shen Shu felt a pang in his heart again, and stopped asking any more questions.

"Then you take a rest. Call me if you need anything." Shen Shu simply tidied up the dining table, washed up, and left a night light on in the living room.

Lying in bed, Shen Shu sighed comfortably. She had spent the day more tired than during military training. Her mind had never stopped, and she had been fighting wits and courage with various people.

But she fell asleep in a moment, almost falling asleep with her head touching the pillow.

Xu Heqing took the painkillers Shen Shu gave him and lay back down. Fortunately, the sofa was quite large, so a big guy like him could still sleep on it.

The first autumn rain was crackling outside the window. He closed his eyes deeply, smelling the lavender scent on the bedding. This scent was much inferior to the sleep aromatherapy he usually ordered, but it made him feel inexplicably at ease.

This autumn rain continued all night long.

Near noon, he was awakened by the sound of the washing machine and cooking in the kitchen.

Xu Heqing was absent-minded for a moment, and his thoughts slowly came back to him as he looked at the unfamiliar environment around him. He had always been a light sleeper, and would wake up at the slightest noise, and quickly grab the loaded gun under his pillow to prevent any sudden danger from the outside world.

This time he actually slept until noon, and his hands under the pillow were grasping nothing.

"Are you awake? I threw away your pants and bought two sets of home clothes and a walking stick and put them next to you."

Shen Shu brought out a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, took off her apron, and called Xu Heqing to get up and eat.

She just hoped that this gentleman would recover from his injuries quickly so as not to delay Zheng Wanhua's surgery in the future.

As for food, she only knows how to make one dish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes. As long as she doesn't get tired of it, she will eat it to her heart's content. Otherwise, she will have to take it out.

This kind of worldly atmosphere was something Xu Heqing had never experienced before. Normally, when he and his adoptive father ate together, they would be with other adopted sons, with everyone sitting silently in a corner across the long table.

Every family dinner was a stressful elimination, and one could lose his life if he wasn't careful. He gradually got used to the almost morbid environment.

So the sudden change to a relaxed and comfortable environment made him feel a little uncomfortable and strange.

Shen Shu had just served a bowl of rice when she heard the doorbell ring, and she paused.

Currently, only a few people know that she lives here, and the current situation in her home is obviously not suitable for anyone to know.

Shen Shu took two steps at a time and hurriedly pushed the patient, who had just stood up with the help of crutches, into the bedroom to hide.

It was the first time that Xu Heqing saw her so flustered, so he subconsciously followed her and went in.

Is he some shady guy? Well, for now, he is.

When Shen Shu saw the person coming through the peephole, her cheeks flushed instantly. The last time Song Bai came over, she was embarrassed because she was drunk and didn't open the door. She couldn't always keep people out.

Song Yun lowered his eyes and looked at the shoe rack at the door. The pair of men's slippers that the little girl used to hide from others were gone.

He frowned slightly, but before he could think about it, the door was opened.
