Chapter 92 Ordinary Friends

Chapter 92 Ordinary Friends

Ye Shaoyang asked, “This person you have mentioned, how did he get your Bazi?”

Zhou Ming thought for a while and realized, “It’s my profile on my company corporate website! My date of birth is on there, so he must have found it there!” He immediately made a phone call to his office and ordered them to remove his date of birth.

Zhou Jingru said angrily, “This Wang Chen is really an asshole! Daddy, how about an eye for an eye? We can retaliate in the same manner. There’s no way the sorcerer he hired is more powerful than Brother Shaoyang.”

Zhou Ming shook his head, “This is a crooked trick and not a gentleman’s way. Your daddy does not need this. I’ll take my revenge through competition in business. I’ll make him lose again. That’s the right way.”

Zhou Ming’s words impressed Ye Shaoyang. This man was indeed a gentleman with entrepreneur spirit. No wonder his business could grow into such an empire. It was no coincidence. Ye Shaoyang picked up another sheet of Xuan paper and inscribed a rune on it. He handed it over to Zhou Ming and said, “This paper has a Qi Regeneration rune. Stick it on your dantian...I mean right under your umbilical. This will hasten the regeneration of your Qi. I guarantee that your health will return to normal in three days.”

Zhou Ming looked at him with grateful eyes. He even addressed Ye Shaoyang differently now, “Little Ye, thank you so much for your help. Since you are also a close friend of my daughter, I’ll surely treat you as one of our own. I can’t thank you enough. From now on, you can look for me if you need help with anything.”

Although Zhou Ming had not fully recovered, he still felt significantly better with the trouble resolved. He asked Ye Shaoyang, “Little Ye, I saw the way you ground the ink and held the brush. It seems like you are very familiar with it. Is your calligraphy good?”

Ye Shaoyang smiled and answered, “I’ve inscribed runes with writing brushes for more than a decade, so I’m quite familiar with it.”

“You are being humble. What do you think of my calligraphy?”

Ye Shaoyang picked up the paper on the coffee table to take a closer look at the calligraphy. The top row was written in cursive script, the row below in regular script.

After he inspected the writings for a while, Ye Shaoyang commented, “Uncle Zhou, your regular script is written very tidily, every stroke ends with a great pause. As people always say, ‘One’s writing reflects oneself.’ Your calligraphy reveals your character and your style of working. You must be a man with principle in your business, a businessman with entrepreneur spirit. You are a decisive man. ”

Zhou Ming nodded with a satisfied smile. Everyone liked compliments.

“However,” Ye Shaoyang’s tone turned more serious, “Due to your strict temperament and your rationality, your cursive script…. It is good, but the strokes are constrained and lack wildness. Most of the time, notable cursive calligraphy is written with enthusiasm under spontaneous inspiration.”

Zhou Ming stared at Ye Shaoyang with an impressive look. He nodded and praised, “I didn’t expect you to have such prospects in calligraphy, besides being a powerful sorcerer. You are a great young man. Will you please write a piece of calligraphy for me?”

“I seldom practice calligraphy. My calligraphy isn’t that good,“ Ye Shaoyang clasped his hands and turned down the request.

Zhou Ming smiled and did not push his request any further. He turned to Zhou Jingru and said, “Little Ru, you must treat Little Ye nicely. He is different from your other friends.”

“I know daddy. I have never treated Brother Shaoyang like an ordinary friend,” she replied. However, she quickly realized the connotations of her statement, and she immediately blushed.

Zhou Ming remained in his bed because he was still weak. He thanked Ye Shaoyang again and again. Then, he wanted Zhou Jingru to personally send Ye Shaoyang home. The pair walked out of the building and entered the hospital’s parking lot. Zhou Jingru walked toward a luxurious red car and opened the door. Ye Shaoyang felt awed. He stood behind the car and looked at it. He did not recognize the logo, but the car looked luxurious and had four exhaust pipes. Ye Shaoyang could immediately tell that the car was expensive.

“What’s wrong? Get in!” Zhou Jingru said.

“Is this your car too?” Ye Shaoyang asked once he hopped in.

“This is my car. The Lamborghini you saw last time is my dad’s. My shoulders’ were feeling a little sore, so I couldn’t drive. My dad let me borrow his chauffeuse, but she didn’t know my car that well. That’s why she picked me up with my dad’s car.”

Ye Shaoyang felt surprised, “That beautiful driver is your father’s too?”

“Of course. I don’t need a driver. I enjoy driving.”

“Oh...” Ye Shaoyang replied with a rather sinister look in his eyes. Zhou Jingru realized what he implied. She gave him a scornful look, “What are you thinking about? She is only a chauffeuse. My father is not the type of man you are imagining.”

“Which kind of man?” Ye Shaoyang acted innocent.

“Hmph! You know what is on your mind.”

Ye Shaoyang knew that she had caught him red handed. He smiled awkwardly and tried to change the topic, “What car is this actually?”

“A Porsche Cayenne. I don’t like to be in the spotlight. This car is not that expensive, and it is low-profile enough.”

“I see. How much does it cost?” Ye Shaoyang innocently asked.

“Not that expensive, just a little over a million.”

Her words rendered Ye Shaoyang speechless. It was really stressful to talk to a rich person.

As Zhou Jingru drove, she asked about Ye Shaoyang’s life and what he did lately. She asked him about the urgent matter he was handling when she called him the other day. Ye Shaoyang recounted the story to her as simply as he could, but his experiences still horrified Zhou Jingru.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Zhou Jingru confronted him with an unhappy face.

“Why?” Ye Shaoyang looked at her, “This matter had nothing to do with you. It was too dangerous. I didn’t want to get you involved.”

“Like you said, it’s dangerous. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you. Next time, tell me a little earlier if you bump into cases like this. Maybe I can help you or give you an idea, right?”

Her words slightly touched Ye Shaoyang. He nodded and did not comment any further.

Zhou Jingru drove to the place he lived in. When she saw the old building, she felt surprised, “Is this the place you are living in?”

“The exterior is a little ugly, but it’s quite comfy inside.” Ye Shaoyang smiled, “This is actually the policewoman’s house. She didn’t even request rental. Considering that, this is actually good enough for me.”

Zhou Jingru immediately felt a little upset when she heard that it was a policewoman’s house. She told Ye Shaoyang she could get him a new home. Ye Shaoyang knew that Zhou Jingru could afford that. She would undoubtedly arrange for him to stay in either a luxurious mansion or a high-class residential area. He thought about it and shook his head, “No thank you. I’ll let you know if I really need your help.”

His reply surprised Zhou Jingru. Then, she replied with a hint of jealousy in her voice, “Do you enjoy living in this kind of old building? Or do you enjoy getting a house as a gift from someone?”

Ye Shaoyang did not expect her to take it this way. He felt stunned for a while. Then, he smiled and said, “You are overthinking things. I live here because, firstly, it is near the school. Secondly, everything I have is already moved inside, so I’m too lazy to move again. Besides, even though this building is a little old, it has everything necessary inside. It is a convenient place. It has nothing to do with Officer Xie; she doesn’t live here.”

Zhou Jingru kept her silence after she heard this.

Ye Shaoyang exited the car, but before he could enter the building, he received a call from none other than Rui Lengyu herself. She wanted to meet him at Yalan Pub. This invitation pleasantly surprised Ye Shaoyang. He instinctively wanted Zhou Jingru to turn back and drive him to the bar. But he quickly realized that this was a stupid idea. So, he called for a cab instead. It was a little past noon, and there were not many people in the pub. Rui Lengyu wore a long, blue dress. She looked both elegant and cool at the same time. She sat in her usual spot, as she drank her usual red blood-like liquid.
