After I was kicked out by the benefactor

Why did Zhong Wentian look for him so well?Xu Shuming put down the phone, frowned slightly and thought for a while, but still didn't get an answer.

But Zhong Wentian is his own boss, he can find himself if he wants to find him, it's a matter of course, no need for any justification.

Thinking of this, Xu Shuming quickly walked out of the car.

When he arrived at the address Bai Yue said, Bai Yue was the only one standing outside the car waiting anxiously. When he saw Xu Shuming's figure, Bai Yue seemed to see his relatives and almost looked at each other with tears in his eyes.

"Assistant Xu, you're finally here!" Bai Yue saw Xu Shuming from a distance, and started striding over to pick him up. When he got closer, his tone became even more excited.

Xu Shuming had never received such a warm welcome from Bai Yue before, so he felt uncomfortable for a while.

He hurriedly stopped Bai Yue's hand that was stretched out to grab his arm, and said, "What happened? Where's Mr. Zhong?"

As soon as Bai Yue heard him mention Zhong Wentian, his expression suddenly became sad. He covered his mouth and waved to Xu Shuming, signaling to keep his voice down, and then stretched out his finger to point to the car door behind him, the meaning was self-evident .

Xu Shuming could see that Bai Yue was eager for him to see Zhong Wentian, but Xu Shuming hadn't figured out the situation yet, so how could he easily be cannon fodder.

Regardless of Bai Yue's urging eyes, he stood on the spot with his legs as if they had taken root, completely motionless.

"Where's Mr. Yuan? Are you in the car?" Xu Shuming asked unhurriedly.

Bai Yue was spinning around in a hurry, but Xu Shuming didn't seem to see anything, and looked at his fingers very calmly.

Seeing him like this, Bai Yue knew in his heart that if he didn't explain the matter clearly today, he would definitely not be able to invite Xu Shuming.

He clenched his fists tightly, approached Xu Shuming, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Yuan just returned to LA, and had a quarrel with the boss when he left. It's nothing wrong, but——after the boss, Mr. Yuan left, the expression on his face It’s ugly, just ask me where you are.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Shuming with some sympathy.

In his opinion, why Yuan Chuchuan quarreled with Zhong Wentian was obviously jealous.And when the two lovers quarreled, Zhong Wentian couldn't vent his anger on Yuan Chuchuan, right? After all, Yuan Chuchuan was the person on his heart, and if something happened, he would not have to be the one who regretted it in the future.

But like Zhong Wentian's status today, he doesn't have to swallow this breath and sulk with himself, he must find someone to vent it out.

The culprit, isn't Xu Shuming the best punching bag?

That is to say, he was so beautiful tonight that he caught Yuan Chuchuan's eyes. Otherwise, why would Yuan Chuchuan pay attention to such a small character like him?

After hearing Bai Yue's words, Xu Shuming showed a thoughtful expression on his face. Most people might panic and be at a loss when they heard Bai Yue's words, but Xu Shuming didn't respond at all. He nodded slightly to Bai Yue , and walked towards the black car that had been parked in place.

Not to mention the flustered feeling at the very least, Xu Shuming's walking pace was unhurried and very steady.

Bai Yue suddenly felt ashamed compared to his hasty reaction just now.

Look, this kind of mental quality is born to do their job. It's no wonder that he has risen rapidly and made a high-profile rise in a short period of time from inexperienced.

It can be seen that no one's success is without a reason!

Over there, Xu Shuming approached the car door, and just bent down to tap the car window lightly. Before his fingers touched the glass, he heard Zhong Wentian's slightly low voice from inside saying:

"The car door is not unlocked, so come in directly."

Xu Shuming was startled, then lowered his eyelashes, opened the car door silently, and sat in gently.

Zhong Wentian was sitting by the car door on the other side. He was leaning on the car seat, with one hand resting on the armrest, and pressing his finger between his eyebrows.He heard the sound of the car door opening and closing, but still did not open his eyes, as if he was still thinking about something, and did not pay attention to the outside world.

Seeing that Zhong Wentian was silent, Xu Shuming naturally kept silent. The atmosphere in the carriage seemed extremely silent for a moment, and it seemed that even the sound of breathing became clearly audible.

"I'm fine, let Bai Yue drive." After a long time, Xu Shuming heard Zhong Wentian order.

Xu Shuming quickly glanced at Zhong Wentian's expression, Zhong Wentian still hadn't opened his eyes, there was a trace of fatigue on his face, he looked very tired.

In order to avoid disturbing Zhong Wentian and close his eyes to rest, Xu Shuming just sat on his seat, took out the mobile phone in his pocket, and sent a text message to Bai Yue.

Bai Yue had been paying attention to Xu Shuming's movements, and he felt it when his phone vibrated. When he saw the text message from Xu Shuming, he felt relieved and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Bai Yue sat in the driver's seat, and the car finally started in a silent atmosphere.Bai Yue frequently looked at Xu Shuming's face in the rear-view mirror, but Xu Shuming only shook his head slightly to indicate that he didn't know either.

According to Bai Yue, Zhong Wentian and Yuan Chuchuan seemed to have had a quarrel, and the source was still because of him, but judging from Zhong Wentian's reaction, it seemed that this was not the case.

It seems that there is something else hidden.

What is the reason...

But from the start of the car to the arrival at the hotel where he was staying, Zhong Wentian was very calm and did not reveal a word.

This made Xu Shuming a little puzzled, but he was even more curious about why Yuan Chuchuan would leave NY overnight and return to LA because of this.

You know, Yuan Chuchuan came all the way today, logically speaking, he should have a good time with Zhong Wentian tonight.

And when he left, the atmosphere between Yuan Chuchuan and Zhong Wentian was also very good, it didn't look like they would quarrel.

Coming to NY is an opportunity that Yuan Chuchuan fought for with great difficulty. No matter what, he will not anger Zhong Wentian.

Xu Shuming got out of the car, looked at the back of Zhong Wentian who was walking in front, and couldn't help but frown deeply.

He had to figure out what happened to Zhong Wentian and Yuan Chuchuan.

Zhong Wentian's brows were dark all the way, and he was not in the mood to speak when he entered the room.Xu Shuming helped him hang up the suit jacket that he had taken off, and seeing him sitting on a large chair with his tie loosened, with his right hand still on his forehead, he asked, "Does your head hurt?"

This was the first sentence that Xu Shuming took the initiative to say tonight.

In the quiet room, although Xu Shuming's voice was not loud, it seemed to have awakened Zhong Wentian.

He put down his arm abruptly, raised his head to look at Xu Shuming, his eyes gradually became clear from slightly doubtful.

"You haven't left yet?" Zhong Wentian looked around, then waved at him and said, "I'm not drunk, it's so late, you should go back and rest too."

Normally, when Zhong Wentian said so, Xu Shuming would go back along the way.

But tonight Xu Shuming didn't seem to hear the words, and walked to the back of Zhong Wentian's chair instead.

He put his hand on Zhong Wentian's temple, and gently rubbed it with his fingers.

"Your complexion doesn't look very good, let me rub it for you." Xu Shuming said softly.

Ever since Xu Shuming broke up with him, Zhong Wentian had never heard Xu Shuming speak to him in such a tone.

So much so that Zhong Wentian unconsciously regarded Xu Shuming, who was as gentle as water in the past, and Xu Shuming, who was sharp now, as completely different people.

He originally wanted to refuse this kind of intimate behavior, but just when he was about to refuse, Xu Shuming said this suddenly, Zhong Wentian was taken aback, and missed the best time to refuse.

What's more, Xu Shuming's technique was very good, and Zhong Wentian immediately felt that his headache was relieved for a moment.

Seeing Zhong Wentian slowly relax his body and lean his head on the back of the chair, Xu Shuming knew that he had made the right move.

He lowered his head, the movements of his hands were unhurried, but his eyes observed every subtle expression of Zhong Wentian.

When Zhong Wentian's expression became more and more relaxed, Xu Shuming said softly: "Mr. Zhong, is it because of me that you are angry tonight?"

Zhong Wentian opened his eyes immediately, grabbed Xu Shuming's hand, sat up straight from the chair, and looked at Xu Shuming with sharp eyes.

He moved very quickly, as if the relaxed state just now was just a cover-up, Xu Shuming was a little at a loss by him.

"Boss Zhong?" He was held by Zhong Wentian, puzzled.

"Why did you say it was your reason?" Zhong Wentian turned a deaf ear, his fingers still tightly grasping Xu Shuming's wrist.

His tone was very stiff, Xu Shuming frowned, and said, "Because Mr. Bai said that you had a quarrel with Mr. Yuan at night, and then asked me where I went. ——So it's not because of me?"

After Xu Shuming finished speaking, his expression relaxed, as if relieved, he loosened his brows, smiled and said to Zhong Wentian: "If it's not because of me, then I can feel relieved."

When Zhong Wentian heard his explanation, he didn't seem to believe it, but he still stared at him and said, "Don't you want to ask about Chu Chuan?"

On the contrary, Xu Shuming didn't seem to understand, he glanced at Zhong Wentian strangely, and said, "Why should I ask about Mr. Yuan? Yes, I really hate him, but that's my private matter, and it's working time now , I think, I have to care about your health first, since you are fine now, then I will go back and rest."

After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Zhong Wentian's hand on his wrist.

Xu Shuming's wrist was slender, and his skin was very white. Zhong Wentian held the thin wrist in his palm, as if it could be broken easily without much effort.

Zhong Wentian let go of his hand hesitantly, and just when his fingers left Xu Shuming's wrist, he suddenly found that the part Xu Shuming was holding was bruised and purple, and it looked extremely terrifying at first glance.

Zhong Wentian's face changed, he obviously didn't use much force, why...

Such marks should be very painful.But Xu Shuming's face remained motionless. After seeing the bruise on his wrist, he just raised his hand and pulled his sleeve down to cover the bruise, and he didn't care anymore.

He raised his head and said to Zhong Wentian, "Mr. Zhong, you should go to bed early."

After speaking, Xu Shuming lifted his foot and left.

Zhong Wentian was unable to adapt to his reaction for a while. Seeing that Xu Shuming was about to leave, he said without thinking: "Wait, don't leave yet."

Xu Shuming looked back at him suspiciously, and stopped obediently.

Zhong Wentian pointed to the rattan chair he had just sat down on, and said to him, "Sit down and fix your wrists."

Seeing a little guilt flashing across his face, Xu Shuming smiled knowingly and said, "No need, it just looks scary. I'll go back and get an ice compress. It will be fine tomorrow morning."

"Sit down." Zhong Wentian was particularly persistent, he got up to find the first-aid kit, and said without looking back: "You were hurt by me before, but you didn't say you were just looking scary."

When Xu Shuming heard this, his face became hot immediately.It is true that Zhong Wentian used too much force in the past, and it was easy to leave marks on his body, but at that time they had no relationship, so he naturally had to act coquettishly to please him.

It's just that the past is the past, and the present is the present, how can they be compared?

Zhong Wentian quickly found the first aid kit, and went to the refrigerator to get ice cubes out. Seeing Xu Shuming's embarrassed expression, he didn't care. He stretched out a hand, signaling Xu Shuming to stretch out his hand.

Xu Shuming hesitated for a while, and then slowly put his hand in Zhong Wentian's palm under Zhong Wentian's urging eyes.

Zhong Wentian held his hand and concentrated on applying ice compresses to him, while suddenly raising his head to look into his eyes and said: "I was in a bad mood tonight and blamed you. I scared you."

Xu Shuming knew that he was in a bad mood, but he didn't know what happened, so he could only ask, "Are you in a good mood now?"

Zhong Wentian smiled, lowered his eyelids and looked at Xu Shuming's finger on his palm obediently, and nodded after a while: "It's much better."

What kind of answer is this? It's too perfunctory.Xu Shuming didn't want to answer the conversation anymore, so he didn't say anything if he didn't want to. He just thought of another way.

"I'm much better now, so I don't need to bother you anymore." Xu Shuming wanted to withdraw his hand, the contrast between the cold touch on his wrist and the warmth of Zhong Wentian's palm made him feel a little uncomfortable, and he didn't want to get along with Zhong Wentian any longer.

But Zhong Wentian held his hand and didn't let him move, "You will definitely leave it alone when you go back, don't ask me how I know, you know my habits, and I know yours, let me deal with it Well, it won't take long.—You just have to bear with me."

Xu Shuming just felt suffocated, what does it mean to bear with him, he has been bearing him, okay?

Zhong Wentian took off the ice compress for him, and began to apply the bruise medicine.The potion has some smell, after applying it, you have to rub it vigorously with your fingers to dissolve it.

Although Zhong Wentian's movements were as light as possible, Xu Shuming still felt a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.

His body is not as good as that of Zhong Wentian's. It's fine if he has a poor foundation. He still works a lot and thinks a lot. Usually, he doesn't think there is any problem. Now when he feels a little uncomfortable, he will immediately feel exhausted.

Looking at Zhong Wentian, who was still showing signs of fatigue just now, he was full of vigor in a flash, how can he see the depressed look just now.

In such a comparison, the gap is so huge that Xu Shuming feels even more depressed.

"Does it hurt?" Zhong Wentian was also looking at his expression.

Xu Shuming shook his head slowly, signaling Zhong Wentian to continue.

It's this stubborn look again, obviously already in pain so much that the forehead and hair are wet with sweat, and they are still holding on.

Is it hard to show weakness?

Zhong Wentian glanced at Xu Shuming's pale lips, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really meaningless to embarrass him.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and slowly said to Xu Shuming:

"When Chu Chuan left at night, he said he wanted me to fire you. He said that your presence made him very uncomfortable, and he didn't want to see you again. If I don't fire you, he will completely separate from me."

Speaking of this, Zhong Wentian paused the hand on Xu Shuming's skin, and only listened to him say one word at a time:

"He also said that if he really wanted to make up for you, he could arrange your future without going through my hands. He asked me whether he kept you by his side because of sympathy or his own selfishness."

Zhong Wentian suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xu Shuming, and said with a palpitating pressure in his voice:

"Guess what I returned?"
