38 Chapter 38 : Xiulan Hates The Socialites (2/2)
”I see... This is a promising information, Zhu. Thank you. But may I ask what about the two people who escaped?” Xiulan asked. She reckons that those two might have also reported back to their boss about their encounter. This will make things difficult for them. Now that they knew that someone was targeting them, they might be wary and will take hiatus on their activities.
”The man with the red streaks on his hair was a butcher for ten years in a poor area in city M. We are not sure when he became a member but he seems to have a high position in the group. His current address is unknown. Then the ruthless brown haired man is a university student, he'll be graduating soon. His parents don't know about him being part of a terrorist. He came from a rich family. I already have one of my brothers following him. He seems docile and harmless but he's sharp and cruel. Scary person to be honest.” Zhu informs more and even shuddered while pointing at the tablet's screen with the brown haired guy as the current display.
”I wonder why he would join this group. He seems to be a nice person pre joining this group.” Xiulan wondered. ”Anyway, I will try to study the information you gave to me. But first I need my laptop. Do you know where my phone is? I need to call my secretary to bring my laptop here.” Xiulan said.
”Yes, missus. It's here and your bag.” Zhu handed her the bag. Zhu also helped her retrieve the phone inside the bag since she can't move easily with the bandages thightly wrapping her shoulders.
”I also called the Song family doctor to treat and observe you. They will come after lunch. I also advised the doctor not to utter any information to your family and husband.” Zhu precisely assisted.
Xiulan was amaze by Zhu's determination in this job. Though Zhu was only a bodyguard but she's working like a personal assistant as well. She should raise her salary.
”Thank you, Zhu.” Xiulan smiled. She was satisfied with Zhu's work ethics. Though she was quite disappointed last time that Zhu made risky changes in their plans. But getting injured was inevitable since she charges and followed the enemies all by herself. She shouldn't have done that. Now she's in pain and on bed for the whole week.
Zhu helped Xiulan with the wet towel bath and changing the clothes. Then they went to the dining room to eat Bai Rong's healthy meals.
Bai Rong didn't ask much about her injuries and remained aloof and cold as usual. As soon as Bai Rong making the lunch meals as well, she only notified them that the lunch meals are finished then she quickly left the penthouse.
Zhu was infuriated by Bai Rong's behavior. How can someone be that snobbish towards their boss?
After twenty minutes, Secretary Dandan came and handed the laptop and also some documents that needed some signature. Most of them are HR related documents. Secretary Dandan didn't stay that long since she has a lot of work and her boss is not present in the office. She only wished well for Xiulan and left hastily.
Lunch came and also the doctor arrived quite earlier than expected. It was the long time family doctor of the Song family.
”Oh my, this little princess. The last time I treated you was when you were only this small.” The female doctor happily said and inanimately described how little she was before.
Xiulan smiled at the old female doctor. ”It's been awhile.”
”You sly princess. Why are you hiding this to your parents and husband? Hmm?” The doctor curiously questioned.
”I don't want to make them worry.” Xiulan pursed her lips.
”Hmm… same as before.” The doctor muttered. She remembers how secretive this youngest Song. She would rather go directly to her clinic than telling it to her parents or sisters whenever she has wounds or in pain. Habits don't die hard, huh?
The old female doctor carefully examined Xiulan's body and her assistant helped her jot down the issues. The doctor also changed the bandages and gave her new set of medicines to drink. The medicines were far more expensive but effective by 80%. In no time, she will be able to go back to work. And that's what Xiulan wants.
The doctor knows how capable and workaholic the youngest Song. She wanted to help her go back to her as soon as possible.
”I advise you to stay at home as possible. Don't do any heavy chores and even stress your back whenever you sleep. You should be thankful that you don't need surgery. I will assign a nurse to change your cast and bandages every day. Though the nurse will only come here every morning and dinner time. Remember to follow the medicine's schedule, alright?” The doctor vehement instructed Xiulan.
Xiulan listened carefully and nodded. She wanted to be well again so she must follow it strictly.
The doctor left and Zhu accompanied the old doctor to the parking lot since they brought a lot of fragile medical paraphernalia.
Xiulan carefully took her laptop and put it on her lap while she sits on her bed. She browses the CCTV footages of last night's event and she was amazed that these terrorists really knew where the blind spots are. They were rarely captured.
Suddenly, her phone rang and it was her good friend Wen Wenyan. It's been so longs since she last heard his voice.
”Wenyan...” Xiulan greeted.
”My dear friend and sister, I'll be visiting the country for a week. Let's meet up once I come back.” Wenyan enthusiastically informed.
”Really? Oh my! When!?” Xiulan excitedly asked. Finally after so many years they will finally meet again. She misses this fool so much!
”Next month. I'm not sure of the date yet since I haven't booked any tickets yet.” Wenyan said.
”I see. You better book that now! You might forget or you'll be lazy by then.” Xiulan joked. This fool better not forget.
”Sister, I know. I will book it once I finish this call. I was about to call you to ask something.” Wenyan informs.
”And what is that?” Xiulan questioned.
”When is your traditional Chinese wedding? You know that I must be present there! I haven't heard any news about it. Was it cancelled? I need to know so I can free my schedule during that week.” Wenyan bombarded Xiulan with questions.
Now that Wenyan raised that topic, Xiulan almost forgot about that traditional Chinese wedding. They have been married for half a year now and she never heard Hongqi utter any news about that wedding anymore.
Xiulan was not also sure if it was cancelled or just delayed because Hongqi is currently very busy.
”Actually… I am not sure either.” Xiulan indifferently said. She was clueless too!
She was never concerned about it. She actually doesn't want to have another wedding. It will be difficult when divorce time comes. But Hongqi promised to her parents and guests that they will have a traditional Chinese wedding. This type of wedding was far serious than the western ones since it's more complicated and has a heavier responsibility.
”Oh no, girl! You better have that ancient Chinese wedding or else people will mock you! The gossipy socialites are already talking about it that's why I asked. They don't still consider you as the official Xing madam since you the Chinese wedding hasn't happened yet.” Wenyan panicky informed and gushed like he was so frustrated and stressed. He will never let Xiulan taste the mocking words of these wannabe socialites. He already tasted it before and he wouldn't let Xiulan get bullied.
”I will ask Hongqi…” Xiulan slowly muttered.
”Actually I will never ask him about it. Let him forget it! I don't care if I get bullied. Who cares about these socialites anyway? They don't feed me or give me money. Hmp!” Xiulan angrily thought while her hands are gripping on her phone.
”Hello, Xiulan? Are you still there? Hello?” Wenyan tried to get Xiulan's attention back. She suddenly became silent.
Wenyan didn't know that Xiulan is seething in anger now.
”Who cares about them!? Once I finish this annoying terrorist mission, I will painstakingly ask for the university to honor my efforts! That will be far better than having the official Mrs. Xing title. I think it's about time that people should know her talents and know their limits that they can't easily bully Song Xiulan.” She gravely promised to herself.
