Wen Liang opened a room for Huo Dongcheng next to her own room in the hotel, and asked two bodyguards to help him to the bed, take off his shoes, and let him sleep peacefully.

She turned on the air conditioner, adjusted it to a suitable temperature, boiled a pot of water, poured a cup and placed it beside the bed.

After doing all this, Wen Liang was about to leave.

Suddenly, Huo Dongcheng held her wrist, his eyes were closed tightly, his face was flushed, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he had dreamed of something sad, and he murmured in a low voice, "Don't... don't go..."

Seeing this, Wen Liang sat down by the bed and comforted her softly, "I won't leave, so you can sleep peacefully."

The friendship between her and Huo Dongcheng, to be honest, is more like Huo Dongcheng's unilateral contribution. Huo Dongcheng helped her a lot whether it was photography, time in Philadelphia, and capturing Zhang Guoan, and she But it couldn't help him.

Wen Liang has always been grateful and regards him as a kind big brother.

After the last time, she might slowly distance herself from him, but she would not resent or hate him because he chose to side with the Bai family.

He is not her person and has no obligation to help her.

But relatively speaking, Fu Zheng made great efforts in this matter. Although part of it was for Fu Yue, she was still very grateful to him.

"...don't go..."

Huo Dongcheng still slept uneasily, his lips moved slightly, his voice was weak, and he spoke vaguely.

Wen Liang leaned over and put his ear to it, and then vaguely heard a few words: "...I miss you very much, mother, mother..."

It turned out that he was dreaming about his mother.

Although he has never met his mother, he often listens to people from the Bai family telling stories about his mother's life. Slowly, the image of his mother gradually fills up in his mind.

Wen Liang: "..."

She didn't want to take advantage of Huo Dongcheng, but she always felt something was strange.

Huo Dongcheng's brows were furrowed, his forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, and his big hands tightened even more.

Wen Liang had no choice but to comfort him and patted his shoulder gently with the other hand, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Mother……"

Huo Dongcheng murmured in a low voice and gradually fell asleep peacefully.

Wen Liang sat by the bed for a few more minutes. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she slowly took out her hand and left the room quietly.

Bodyguard Liang Fei and his companions were guarding the door.

When Wen Liang saw the two of them, he wanted to tell them not to tell Fu Zheng what happened today, but then he thought about it and there was nothing between her and Huo Dongcheng. If he wanted to be jealous, just let him.

Back in her room, Wen Liang took a bath towel and was about to take a shower when Fu Zheng called.

Wen Liang raised his eyebrows and answered the phone, "Ward round?"

Liang Fei must have reported the matter to Fu Zheng.

Fu Zheng paused, "I heard he is next door to you?"

"Well, we had some wine at the dinner table, and I didn't know where the Huo family was, so I took him back to the hotel." Wen Liang simply explained it without mentioning that she knew Huo Junshan's phone number.

If Fu Zheng knew that she didn't send Huo Dongcheng to the Huo family just to take care of Huo Dongcheng's emotions, she would be afraid that jealousy would overwhelm her on the spot.

Fu Zheng laughed and said in a strange tone, "Why did he appear at your dinner table?"

Fu Zheng called her at noon to ask if she had arrived at the hotel. Wen Liang mentioned to him that she would have dinner with people from the magazine in the evening.

"I didn't know until I got to the restaurant that he recommended me to Editor Yang."

Hearing this, Fu Zheng gritted his teeth.

Huo Dongcheng is really insidious!

Killing first and then showing off, Wen Liang had to bear his kindness and was unable to establish a clear relationship with him.

The evil spirit will never die!

Wen Liang added, "Actually, I didn't plan to see him when I came to the capital this time."

"you've been drinking?"

"No, he had a drink with Editor Yang, who left early." Wen Liang explained, "Is there anything else? If nothing happens, I'll take a shower first."

"Go ahead and be careful and don't slip."

"Ah."

"and many more."

"what's wrong?"

"Put your phone in and don't hang up."

Wen Liang was startled, and his face turned red, "What? Isn't the sound of water nice? Isn't there one at home? You can listen to it however you want."

"Wen Xiaoliang, what are you thinking about? I want to talk to you, but I'm afraid it will delay your rest time."

"……oh oh."

Wen Liang responded awkwardly and argued in a low voice, "I'm not overthinking it. Your request is obviously weird."

With that said, she walked into the bathroom, put her phone in a place where it would not splash water, hung up her bath towel and bathrobe, and turned on the shower.

The bathroom was filled with the sound of rushing water.

Fu Zheng's seemingly unintentional inquiry came from the phone, "Did he say anything to you? For example, why did the Bai family not want to re-investigate the case?"

Wen Liang took off his clothes and said casually, "I told you."

"What did you say?"

"He said he hated the Fu family because Fu Qingyue, his mother, jumped to her death after giving birth to him. The reason why he did this was to kill Fu Yue and unite with others to carve up the Fu family."

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds.

"Can you hear me?" Wen Liang asked.

"can hear."

Fu Zheng hesitated for a moment, "Don't you have anything else to ask me?"

Wen Liang smiled, stood under the rain, and stroked his body with his hands along the water, "What are you asking? Do you know that he is your half-brother?"

Seeing that Wen Liang knew, Fu Zheng pursed his lower lip and whispered, "...Grandma told me my identity earlier, and I don't want to admit it. Do you know why aunt doesn't like you?"

Wen Liang was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it because of Ms. Lin?"

Fu Zheng hummed softly, his voice was drowned in the sound of flowing water, but Wen Liang heard the words clearly.

"She is still obsessed with thinking that without Lin Jiamin, Huo Junshan would be with her. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Wen Liang thought that Fu Qingyue felt that her status was not worthy of Fu Zheng, but she didn't expect that it was because of this that she didn't know how to evaluate him.

Huo Junshan was by no means innocent in the affair, and Fu Qingyue still couldn't let go completely at this point.

Fu Qingyue's willfulness and stubbornness are most vividly reflected in Huo Junshan.

"Is she still in Jiangcheng now?"

"I have already asked people to send her back to Los Angeles. Xie Zhen will ask people to block her visa and prohibit entry."

Fu Qingyue has changed her nationality.

"Alright."

With Fu Qingyue's financial resources, she can live a comfortable life abroad, as long as she doesn't insist on coming back.

There was silence on the phone.

The sound of the shower filtered out some unspeakable sounds.

She showered frequently in summer, so Wenliang rinsed her body a few times and then turned off the shower.

Just as she took off the bath towel and wrapped it around her body, she suddenly heard a faint gasp coming from the phone.

Wen Liang thought she was hallucinating and continued to wipe her body with a bath towel.

"Have you finished washing?"

Fu Zheng's voice came from the microphone. Listening carefully, it seemed to be a bit hoarse and deeper than before.

"Fu Zheng, what are you doing?"

An idea came to Wen Liang's mind and he asked suspiciously.

"Didn't you guess it?"

"you--"

Wen Liang was embarrassed and said, "I want to hang up the phone!"

"A Liang, wait." Fu Zheng stopped him with his voice.

"Anything else?"

"Do you want to try it?"
