Chapter 357: Hadn't Eaten For a Few Days
Tang Yitong snorted and didn't say anything else. Since Su Yan had already agreed, she naturally didn't have any objections. Seeing that she didn't seem to be satisfied, Su Yan took the initiative to give her a piece of grilled meat to appease her.
Tang Yitong was immediately happy. While eating the grilled meat, she looked coldly at Lan Jian and asked, "Let me guess, the friend you mentioned is Wei Zhou, right?"
Lan Jian sent a message to Wei Zhou and said to Tang Yitong, "Miss Tang, you're indeed smart!"
Tang Yitong was speechless.
Seeing that Lan Jian had admitted it, Su Yan said with a faint smile, "You confessed so quickly?"
Lan Jian felt a little scared by her gaze. He laughed dryly and said, "I can't not confess. The truth will come out sooner or later. Actually, I didn't come here to look for you guys on purpose. It's just a coincidence."
Tang Yitong smirked and said, "Hmph, that's too much of a coincidence!"
Su Yan smirked and said, "I really didn't expect that a person like Wei Zhou would actually be able to make such good friends with you guys. It's really good luck. However, I will remember today's incident."
Lan Jian's heart tightened. Although Su Yan was looking at him and smiling, there was an extremely cold look in her alluring almond-shaped eyes. He knew that Su Yan was serious and wasn't joking. Thinking about the way Su Yan dealt with him previously, he was secretly regretting it now. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have followed her. It was useless to regret now. The matter had already happened and Su Yan had already remembered it, so he could only brace himself.
Deliberately not looking at Su Yan, Lan Jian tried to find a topic. "Miss Tang, did you just finish filming?"
Tang Yitong ate her food as she said, "Young Master Lan is quite concerned about me. You didn't send someone to follow me, did you?"
After he glanced at the menu, Lan Jian said, "Hehe, Miss Tang, have you been very tired during this period of filming? How thin you are really makes one's heart ache. Now that you've finally finished filming, you must treat yourself well. This roast meat is on me. You can eat whatever meat you want."
Tang Yitong smirked. She felt that Lan Jian was really too thick-skinned. He actually wanted to use the roast meat to bribe her. Wasn't he looking down on her too much? Could she be bribed with just a meal of roast meat?
"Thank you, Young Master Lan, but I've been on a diet recently. You should keep it for yourself." Tang Yitong said with a look of disapproval.
"Don't. In order to maintain your figure, you celebrities eat very little every day. Moreover, the workload is so heavy. It's really too tiring. Now that you've finally rested, how can you not eat? Even if you're on a diet, you have to eat until you're full before you have the strength, right? Moreover, this meal won't make that big of a difference." Lan Jian continued to be thick-skinned
Originally, Tang Yitong had already convinced herself not to eat the roast meat. However, when she heard Lan Jian's words, she felt tempted. She sneakily glanced at Su Yan with an expression that was clearly saying, "Can I eat just a little?"
Su Yan said unpleasantly, "Since Young Master Lan is hosting, then you should eat. For the next half a month, you'll be vegetarian the entire time."
Hearing this, Tang Yitong was overjoyed. Su Yan had already spoken. She could finally eat barbecue openly. She didn't need to look at her manager, Shen Ling, who was giving her the "death stare".
When the newly ordered barbecue was served on the dining table, the door of the private room was pushed open. Wei Zhou had finally arrived. Immediately, the originally lively room became quiet. This man was like an air conditioner. No matter where he went, there would be silence.
Seeing the main character appear, Tang Yitong felt that the barbecue in front of her didn't smell that delicious anymore. She subconsciously glanced at Su Yan to see how her best friend would react. What impressed her was that, Su Yan actually didn't react at all. She continued to eat the barbecue in small bites, not affected by Wei Zhou at all.
As if sensing that everyone had stopped, Su Yan reluctantly raised her head to take a look. In just six days, Wei Zhou had lost much weight. But what did this have to do with her?
Tang Yitong's face was full of unhappiness. Although she didn't say anything, her unwelcoming attitude towards Wei Zhou was very obvious. As long as one wasn't stupid, they would be able to understand her meaning.
Su Yan didn't say anything and continued to eat in small bites. It was as if she hadn't seen anything. The atmosphere in the private room was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
Lan Jian sighed and broke the awkward atmosphere. "Let's continue eating. Don't bother with him. If not for the fact that he hadn't eaten for a few days, I wouldn't have called him over."
Tang Yitong glanced at Wei Zhou and saw that the man was still as cold and arrogant as before. It seemed that after this incident, his arrogance hadn't diminished.
Chapter 358: Too Shameless
Awkwardness. The entire private room was filled with awkwardness. Lan Jian couldn't help but ask, "Su Yan, I remember that you played poker very well, right?"
The moment these words were said, Tang Yitong was the first to raise her hand and say, "F * ck! You even know this. Could it be that you have lost to Su Yan before? She has a photographic memory. She has the ability to read ten lines at a glance. Ever since she was young, be it poker or mahjong, I have rarely seen her lose."
Lan Jian pretended to be surprised and said, "I see. Just like a friend of mine. My friend has never lost in poker."
Wei Zhou raised his eyebrows. He felt that the friend that Lan Jian mentioned was him, so he said coldly, "Do I not have a name, or do you not know my name? Is it embarrassing for you to say my name?"
Lan Jian stole a glance at Su Yan. "Hmph, what do you know? I'm going to annoy you to death. If your name comes out of my mouth, even I will be despised."
Wei Zhou's eyes turned to Su Yan. He saw that Su Yan was listening attentively with her ears perked up. There was a faint smile in her eyes as she slowly turned over the roast meat on the stove.
Wei Zhou squeezed beside Lan Jian and sat down. He held a plate of meat and handed it to Su Yan. "Can you help me roast some too?"
Lan Jian and Tang Yitong, who were chatting about how good Su Yan was at cards, turned to look at Wei Zhou when they heard Wei Zhou's words. Tang Yitong frowned and said, "CEO Wei, you think you're the CEO even when you're outside? Do you need others to roast the meat before feeding it to you?"
Wei Zhou glanced at Tang Yitong and said truthfully, "I don't know how to grill meat."
Other than Su Yan, everyone else was dumbfounded. If not for Wei Zhou's earnest and sincere expression, they would have suspected that Wei Zhou was joking.
Su Yan frowned and said, "You don't know how to grill meat, but your buddy knows how to grill meat."
Although she knew that Wei Zhou didn't know how to grill meat, she still refused. Tang Yitong nodded her head angrily and agreed with Su Yan's words. She felt that Wei Zhou ordering Su Yan to grill meat was simply too shameless.
Seeing Su Yan pass the ball to him, Lan Jian quickly kicked the ball out. "Uh... actually, this is my first time eating roast meat. I've never eaten it before, so I don't know how to roast meat."
Su Yan smiled and glanced at the two of them. "You don't know how to roast meat? Then why did the two of you choose this restaurant to eat? Are you here to experience life in the mortal world?"
Wei Zhou's face didn't turn red nor did his heart skip a beat. He still had a serious look on his face, as if Su Yan's words just now were all nonsense. Lan Jian felt that he was already very shameless, but he didn't expect Wei Zhou to be even more shameless than him.
During the meal, the few of them chatted and quarreled. The quarrel ended very quickly. Su Yan basically didn't eat much and was roasting for everyone the entire time. Meanwhile, Shen Ling didn't speak the entire time. Everyone sitting here was a big shot, so she had nothing to do at all. However, she was quite entertained from watching Su Yan and Wei Zhou. She looked at them with a smile. Tang Yitong and Lan Jian quarreled as they ate and livened up the atmosphere. Wei Zhou enjoyed Su Yan's roasted meat service the entire time. In addition, he hadn't eaten for a few days, so he ate until his mouth was full of grease.
The few of them went downstairs. Lan Jian paid the bill. Then, he asked Su Yan if she wanted to play mahjong together. He said that he had seen her poker skills last time. He wanted to see if she was as good at Mahjong as Tang Yitong boasted.
Su Yan smiled and asked him, "Young Master Lan, it seems that I didn't help you get rid of your addiction last time."
..
In the chess room.
In just two hours, Lan Jian had lost 200,000 yuan. This 200,000 yuan was enough for him to eat barbecue for a month.
Su Yan was very bored and really didn't have any opponents, so she said, "Let's call it a day."
Lan Jian hurriedly said, "Why don't we play poker together later?"
Su Yan smiled and said, "No, I'm a little tired. I have to go back and rest."
Tang Yitong was still immersed in the previous game. She only regained her senses when she saw Su Yan leave with her bag. She hurriedly picked up her things and chased after her. "Hey, why didn't you call me when you left? Wait for me..."
Lan Jian only regained his senses when he saw Su Yan and Tang Yitong walk out of the chess room. He turned to look at Wei Zhou and said, "Hey, Ah Zhou, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you chasing after Su Yan? Why are you getting discouraged so quickly? It isn't like you."
Wei Zhou rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't make decisions for me in the future."
Chapter 359: Move On As Soon As Possible
"F * ck, Wei Zhou, what does that mean? What do you mean I acted on my own? If you hadn't been so depressed these past few days, do you think I would be so thick-skinned as to go and find Su Yan? I treated her to a meal, and I deliberately lost so much money. It's fine if you don't thank me now, but you actually think I acted on my own? Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Lan Jian immediately lost it.
Wei Zhou raised his chin and looked at him with disdain. "You're only making Su Yan hate me more."
"You, you..." Lan Jian wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word for a long time. As he looked at Wei Zhou's lovesick look, the anger in his heart also subsided a lot.
Wei Zhou took a deep breath and said, "As long as it's something she doesn't like, I won't do it, including taking the initiative to approach her."
"Ah Zhou, let me say something from the bottom of my heart. You can't go on like this. You'll sink deeper and deeper, and you'll be in more and more pain. As a bystander, I feel that Su Yan really doesn't have any feelings for you. After all, you were the one who let her down first. During those three years, as long as you cared about her a little, she wouldn't have accumulated so much sadness and become thoroughly disappointed in you. Su Yan no longer has feelings for you. She is no longer in love with you, so there is nothing you can do. Listen to my advice. If you don't want both of you to be in pain, or if you want her to be truly happy, then let her go as soon as possible." Lan Jian acted like an expert in analyzing emotions.
During this period of time, he had been by Wei Zhou's side and had observed Su Yan quite a bit. As a playboy who had seen countless women, he couldn't feel any trace of feelings from Su Yan's attitude towards Wei Zhou. There was only indifference and estrangement.
Hearing this, Wei Zhou turned around and stared at Lan Jian. "I heard that a new boxing gym has opened in the past two days. You should accompany me to practice. Using your logic, since you're not my match anyway, why don't you change into a protective suit and become my living wooden stake?"
"Ah Zhou, I'm not joking with you. I'm very serious," Lan Jian said hurriedly.
Wei Zhou's lips curled up. "I'm not joking with you either."
Even now, he still couldn't figure out how he got to know Lan Jian and became friends with him. Was it too late to pretend that he didn't know him? What kind of lousy friends were these? He had just built up a sliver of confidence when Lan Jian gave him a blow.
..
In the company's RV.
Tang Yitong took off her mask and said, "Wei Zhou actually dared to pursue you. Who gave him the confidence?"
Su Yan smiled. "He's rich, so he has a strong backbone and he speaks with confidence."
Tang Yitong was speechless.
She also wanted to become rich and experience the happiness of being rich. However, as the future mortgage slave, when would she be able to truly become a rich person?
After sending Tang Yitong home, Su Yan drove back to the Floral Villa. She lowered the car window and let the evening wind blow gently. She felt a moment of peace and serenity. It was already spring. Many of the land around the villa had turned green. It wouldn't be long before the flowers bloomed.
At the villa's entrance, before Su Yan had even driven to the front, she saw Wei Zhou's luxury car parked in front of the small courtyard. Su Yan frowned slightly, but she quickly withdrew her gaze and drove past Wei Zhou's car into the garage.
In front of the French windows on the second floor of the villa, Su Yan changed into a set of fast-drying sportswear and placed a hula hoop around her waist. After exercising for two hours, she took a quick shower and was ready to sleep. At this time, it was already dark outside.
Just as she was about to read and sleep, her phone on the bedside rang. She took the phone and saw that it was Wei Zhou's secretary Li Rong calling. After some thought, she picked it up. "Secretary Li?"
Just as the call connected, Li Rong's anxious and tearful voice came through. "Miss Su, I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm Li Rong. I, I can't find CEO Wei. I've tried all kinds of methods to contact him, but I can't find him. I don't know where he is either. Yesterday, he started to have a fever. At its peak, his fever reached 39.5 degrees. Neither the Wei family nor CEO Wei's villa staff could find him. He has been refusing to take his medicine. I'm afraid that his fever will get serious and something will happen to him. I've asked everyone, but no one is with CEO Wei. I really have no other choice. I can only find you. Sob sob sob..."
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. "Secretary Li, don't cry yet. Let me take a look."
As she spoke, she walked out of the villa with an umbrella. Sure enough, Wei Zhou's luxurious car was still parked beside the courtyard gate. In the twilight, the figure of a man could be vaguely seen.
Chapter 360: Turned Out to Be True
On the other end of the phone, Li Rong was waiting anxiously. "Miss Su? Are you still there?"
Su Yan said, "Wei Zhou is with me."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan could clearly hear that Li Rong seemed to be relieved. "Miss Su, CEO Wei is having a fever. Can you take CEO Wei to the hospital for an injection?"
After saying this, Li Rong heard that Su Yan didn't reply for quite a while. Perhaps she felt that she had been a little rash, so Li Rong hurriedly apologized, "I'm... I'm sorry, Miss Su. I'll give CEO Lan a call."
Looking at Wei Zhou's figure, Su Yan raised her eyebrows. She didn't walk over and say anything to Wei Zhou because she wasn't someone related to Wei Zhou. Why would she bring him to the hospital? Moreover, it would also cause unnecessary misunderstandings and trouble. "Alright, that's it then."
Before she could finish her sentence, she hung up the phone. She had already returned to the villa, but after thinking about it, she held the umbrella and walked out again. She wanted to tell Wei Zhou to walk further away. If he fainted in front of her door, it would be easy for others to misunderstand.
What surprised Su Yan was that in just a short while, Wei Zhou, who was standing in the darkness, disappeared. Therefore, she opened the courtyard door and walked to Wei Zhou's car. She looked at Wei Zhou, who was sitting in the driver's seat, Su Yan looked at the car window. "Wei Zhou? Are you okay?"
Su Yan turned on the flashlight function on her phone and shone it into the car. She saw Wei Zhou's body leaning heavily against the back of the chair. His face was pale, and his lips were very pale too. His eyes were tightly closed. She knocked on the car window a few times. Wei Zhou still didn't have any reaction.
It was drizzling outside, and the wind was getting stronger. Su Yan only wore a nightdress when she came out. Now that the wind had blown onto her, she was completely exposed. Seeing that Wei Zhou didn't have any reaction, Su Yan intended to turn around and leave, but she remembered what Li Rong said just now. She could only endure the cold wind and knock on the car window. "Wei Zhou, wake up!"
After knocking several times, Wei Zhou finally had a reaction. However, his eyebrows only twitched, and his eyes were still closed. At this moment, Wei Zhou was in a state of delirium. In the midst of his high fever, he had a dream. In the dream, Su Yan was standing beside him and calling him softly. However, in the dream, his body seemed to be out of control, and he couldn't open his eyes no matter how hard he tried.
"No, I have to wake up. Su Yan is calling me. I have to open my eyes!" Wei Zhou struggled in his heart.
The next second, he finally broke free from the dream. Just as he opened his eyes, he saw Su Yan knocking on the car window and calling his name. It was very windy outside, and this woman was only wearing a nightgown while standing outside the car?
Seeing that he had finally woken up, Su Yan couldn't help but sigh in relief. However, she looked at Wei Zhou with a very cold gaze. "How are you?"
After he regained his consciousness, the corner of Wei Zhou's mouth twitched. "So it's true."
His voice was very weak and very hoarse. It was almost covered by the sound of the wind and rain. Although Su Yan didn't hear him clearly, she still said, "Why didn't pick up Secretary Li's call? Do you know that she is very worried about you? If you're sick, take your medicine. If you want to die, find a place where no one is around. Don't die here. Secretary Li has already informed Lan Jian. He'll probably come to pick you up in a while. You can wait here."
Wei Zhou's expression didn't change when he heard Su Yan's words. He picked up his phone and looked at it. The screen was full of notifications from Lan Jian. He clicked on it and took a quick look. Lan Jian asked if he needed to pick him up. He even said that he would give him another minute. If he didn't reply, it would be considered a tacit agreement.
Although he had a high fever, it didn't affect his brain's reaction speed at all. He hurriedly pretended to be weak and said, "I seem to have a fever. My throat is very dry now. Can I go to your house to drink some water?"
Su Yan stared at him for a long time before she reluctantly agreed, "Okay."
The two of them shared an umbrella. It looked very crowded, but it gave off a very intimate feeling. Wei Zhou took the initiative to take the umbrella and held it. Feeling the heat coming from the man's body, Su Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you stupid? Your fever is so serious. It's fine if you don't take medicine, but you actually ate barbecue with us?"
Wei Zhou said in a hoarse voice, "When I came out this morning, my fever wasn't that bad anymore."
After letting Wei Zhou sit on the sofa, Su Yan instructed Xiao Xiao to boil a pot of hot water for the man to drink. Then, she went out to the villa to fetch the takeout. Su Yan was holding the takeout when she realized that the man was pouring water to drink. Even though he was very sick, the way the man drank the water with his head tilted back was very pleasing to the eye.
