Zhou Xuan was naturally fine. Although her body was weak, she felt no pain at all. She quickly stood up and put the blanket on the bed.
Wei Xiaoyu quickly tidied her messy hair, washed her face in the bathroom, and looked at herself in the mirror. Her face bloomed like a flower, and she was incredibly beautiful.
Recalling what had just happened, Wei Xiaoyu's face flushed, and she felt unbearably ashamed. She had had such close contact with Zhou Xuan before in the underground of Moyin Mountain, but she never had such thoughts back then. But just now, Zhou Xuan had embraced her and acted like a man, which was the most shameful thing!
After washing his face, Zhou Xuan looked at his watch and saw that it was already past 3 a.m. He had slept for five or six hours. When he returned from the General Political Department Hospital, it was only a little past 9 a.m.
Zhou Xuan said awkwardly, "Xiaoyu, let's go downstairs!"
Wei Xiaoyu lowered her head and after a long while said, "You go down first, I'll come down in a little while!"
Zhou Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized that Wei Xiaoyu was a girl who had been sleeping in bed with Zhou Xuan for several hours. If they were to go down together, he would naturally worry about arousing suspicion.
Not daring to say another word, Zhou Xuan hurriedly ran downstairs alone. None of his injuries remained; he was completely healed. However, his face was burning hot. He remembered how he had used a bit too much force when he was holding Wei Xiaoyu and feeling comfortable. Wei Xiaoyu was awake at the time. It was better not to think about it; the thought made him feel incredibly ashamed.
When Zhou Xuan entered the living room, the old man and Wei Haihong were there, as were Lao Li and Li Lei. There was also another person who surprised Zhou Xuan: Wei Xiaoqing!
The old man looked at Zhou Xuan and asked worriedly, "Zhou Xuan, are you feeling better? Your face is flushed, is it a problem with your injury?"
Zhou Xuan quickly shook his head and replied, "I'm fine, I'm fine, Uncle Li..."
When Zhou Xuan saw Li Lei, he felt a little awkward when he called out to him. Li Lei used to call him brother, but he couldn't do that now. After all, his son Li Lei was his brother-in-law, and it would be inappropriate to call him that anymore. He stammered for a while before finally managing to say "Uncle Li".
Old Li asked with concern, "Xiao Zhou, I heard from Brother Wei that you were in a car accident. I couldn't eat or sit still, so Li Lei and I rushed over to see you. How are you?"
Zhou Xuan quickly replied, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm almost fully recovered!"
Li Lei moved closer and patted his shoulder, saying, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright, brother. You really scared me and the old man. Uncle Wei was quite alarmed when he talked about it, saying that your injuries were quite serious!"
Old Li snorted and said, "Li Lei, you are the elder, and an elder should act like one. Xiao Zhou is the junior, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Li Lei immediately felt embarrassed. He was used to calling Zhou Xuan by his name and didn't feel comfortable changing it. He chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Young man, uncle and nephew are brothers, don't be afraid." But seeing Zhou Xuan's awkward expression and his father's expression, he immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Zhou Xuan then noticed Wei Xiaoqing sitting to the side with a cold expression, and immediately smiled and said, "Xiaoqing, when did you arrive?"
Wei Xiaoqing's eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry.
At this moment, Wei Xiaoyu also came downstairs. She greeted everyone in turn, and then noticed Wei Xiaoqing. She asked in surprise, "Xiaoqing, you're here too?"
The old man chuckled and said, "Xiaoqing has been here for more than two hours. She went upstairs to check on Xiao Zhou early this morning, but he was still sleeping, so she didn't wake him up. Later, after Aunt Wang cooked the porridge, Xiaoqing went upstairs to call him, but Xiao Zhou probably still hadn't woken up, so Xiaoqing still couldn't wake him. After coming downstairs, I don't know why, she's still angry and puffed up!"
Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu both cried out "Ouch!" and the people around them exclaimed in surprise, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
But Zhou Xuan blushed and repeatedly asked, "Are you alright?"
At this point, Zhou Xuan finally understood why Wei Xiaoqing was angry and unhappy. She must have gone upstairs and seen him and Wei Xiaoyu cuddling and sleeping together.
Wei Xiaoyu blushed with embarrassment. Of course, she understood that her younger sister must have seen her and Zhou Xuan sleeping upstairs, and she had gone upstairs twice. Judging from her expression, her younger sister Xiaoqing was angry.
Others naturally had no idea about this, nor could they possibly imagine it.
Li Lei said to Zhou Xuan, "Little Zhou," barely managing to utter the words "Little Zhou," before adding, "I really have to thank you. That bastard Li Wei has changed a lot. He used to be such a troublemaker. I tried everything to get him to find a proper job, but he just wouldn't do it. Eventually, we just let it go, as long as he didn't cause trouble and stayed quiet, we were content. Who would have thought that he'd now be working a proper job, and very diligently at that? It's all thanks to you!"
"Oh, not at all, Uncle Li, you've just misunderstood Li Wei!" Zhou Xuan replied with a smile. "Li Wei is actually a very dedicated and ambitious person. On the surface, he may seem a bit cynical, but that's not really him. It's just that you've been too strict with him."
Li Wei is indeed that kind of person. If you go along with him and treat him well, he will treat you well in return. But if you try to be stubborn with him, he will only argue back and will be someone who will yield to gentleness but not to force.
Seeing the harmonious interaction between Old Li and his son and Zhou Xuan, the old man sighed inwardly. Looking at the expressions of the Wei Xiaoqing and Wei Xiaoyu sisters and Zhou Xuan, he felt somewhat saddened.
Both of his granddaughters are exceptional talents, but neither of them has the destiny to succeed. Everything goes wrong for them, and they are very unhappy!
The Wang family quickly set out the congee. The old man, Wei Haihong, and the Li father and son had already eaten and didn't want to eat anymore. Only Wei Xiaoyu accompanied Zhou Xuan to drink the congee. In fact, Wei Xiaoyu, like Zhou Xuan, got up early and went out, and then got into a car accident. She hadn't eaten or drunk anything since.
After the two sat down, they saw Wei Xiaoqing also walk over from the living room and sit down at the dining table, looking angry.
Wei Xiaoyu silently served three bowls of porridge. Aunt Wang cooked the porridge very well, with bird's nest and oatmeal, sweet but not greasy. The side dishes were also light, making it most suitable for people who are sick or recovering from a serious illness.
Because of sleeping with Zhou Xuan, Wei Xiaoyu didn't dare to say much. Her younger sister Xiaoqing must have seen it, otherwise she wouldn't have this expression.
Zhou Xuan was truly hungry and wolfed down several bowls of porridge. Wei Xiaoyu was also hungry, but she had no appetite and didn't want to eat at all. After a few bites, she looked at her younger sister Xiaoqing, who was biting her lip, and asked after thinking for a moment, "Xiaoqing, do you hate your older sister?"
Seeing her sister's sorrowful expression, how could Wei Xiaoqing possibly hate her? In the end, both sisters were pitiful and felt the same way. She knew from what she had seen upstairs earlier that it wasn't Zhou Xuan's doing. It was just that her sister was serving him and when she got tired, they huddled together. Her sister hadn't even taken off her shoes. Didn't she understand?
However, Zhou Xuan did feel somewhat guilty. Fortunately, only Wei Xiaoqing knew about this. Although Wei Xiaoqing was angry now, she would never hurt her sister. She was just putting on an act and would definitely not tell anyone.
After finishing the porridge, back in the hall, the old man said again, "Xiao Zhou, your wedding with Yingying is just around the corner, and now we need to start making preparations."
Old Li immediately became excited, slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, brother, you guys can treat Yingying's preparations as the bride's family, and I'll treat Xiao Zhou's preparations as the groom's family. It's settled then!"
Wei Haihong immediately said, "Dad, don't worry, I've already started making preparations for Yingying's marriage. I'll make sure she leaves the Wei family in a dignified manner. You don't need to worry about these things!"
Wei Haihong flatly rejected the old man and Lao Li's idea. The two old men were too old and their bodies couldn't handle the strain of young people. If something unexpected happened, it would be a huge loss. He and his second brother could handle these matters. His second brother was famous; he was the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee. As long as they had the intention, it would be easy to get things done. Besides, he would pay for it himself, and his eldest brother, second brother, and father could just lend their names.
Old Li was also stopped by Li Lei: "Dad, you just need to watch and relax. You don't need to worry about this, I'll handle it!"
Zhou Xuan, however, was completely excluded from their discussion, as if he were an outsider. He smiled and said, "Actually, it's a very simple matter. Brother Hong and Uncle Li didn't need to go to such lengths."
Li Lei waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything more. I'm just practicing. Xiao Zhou is getting married, and then it's Li Weiwei's turn. I still have to take care of this last thing. After this is done, my mission will be complete!"
Zhou Xuan chuckled. There was really no other way; he had to accept it and let them be. Anyway, he didn't want to wrong Yingying, and he didn't have to worry about money. Of course, he wanted to prepare a grand wedding for Yingying!
"Old Master Li, Grandpa, Uncle Li, Brother Hong, I'm going back now. Please keep today's events a secret for me. Just pretend they never happened. My family will worry if they find out. As for me, Yan, being here makes no difference as if nothing happened!"
Zhou Xuan checked the time, said goodbye to them, and prepared to go home.
Wei Xiaoyu opened her mouth, wanting to say something about seeing him off, but she didn't say anything. Then her younger sister, Wei Xiaoqing, spoke up: "I'll see you off!"
The old man nodded and said, "Alright, but be careful and drive slowly!"
