Chapter 297 - Considered Friends (1/2)
Su Qingsang noticed Shi Mengwan’s gaze. She also noticed Chen Feifei’s, who kept looking at Zhan Haoze nervously.
After giving it some thought, she took a step forward and stood before Zhan Haoze, conveniently blocking off half of Shi Mengwan’s line of sight.
“Mr. Zhan, thank you so much for today.”
“You’re being too formal, Mrs. Huo. I am considered to be a friend of Director Huo.” Zhan Haoze’s expression remained neutral, yet Su Qingsang made out a different meaning to his words.
Considered to be friends? Is there such a thing as not being considered friends?
“No matter what, I’d still like to thank you. I’ll also inform Huo Jinyao about this.”
Zhan Haoze nodded, knowing that Su Qingsang appreciated his help. He was satisfied. “Alright. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
“Good day, Mr. Zhan.”
Su Qingsang sent Zhan Haoze off. When she turned around, she realized that Shi Mengwan’s was still looking at that direction.
A few nurses and doctors had come up to ask about Su Qingsang’s injury. Su Qingsang waved them off, reassuring them that she was fine already.
After everybody had gone away, she stood before Shi Mengwan and waved her hand before her friend’s face.
“Mengwan?”
“Qingsang.” Shi Mengwan finally retracted her gaze from the direction in which Zhan Haoze had left.
She averted her eyes in discomfort when she met with Su Qingsang’s knowing gaze, which plainly hinted that she had figured it all out, then quickly picked up the bag she dropped earlier.
“Didn’t you go to a competition? Back already?”
“Mmhmm. Why don’t you take a guess at the competition outcome?” There was a gleeful look in Shi Mengwan’s eyes when she spoke.
Su Qingsang pouted and pondered. “The outcome? Let me guess. You’re the last?”
“You’re terrible.” Shi Mengwan gave her a shove.
“Be gentle, be gentle. I’m an injured patient now.” Su Qingsang pressed against her belly with an agonized look.
“Are you alright? Let me help you back to the office for a rest.”
“Alright. Thank you, Great Designer Shi.”
