Chapter 3 - 3 - First Meeting (Part 1) (1/2)
Half an hour after he was fed by the nurse, the door to his room slid open and two people entered. Li XinWen saw that it was the original's mother and adopted younger brother.
”Ah'Wen...” the mother was the first to speak after they settled on the chair beside his bed.
”You're finally awake... Mother was worried...” she said as tears started to pool in her eyes. One could see that this elderly woman barely slept with the bags under her eyes.
”Mother, you don't have to worry anymore, I'm alright now.” Li XinWen replied. He felt a tug in his heart and spent some time calming his mother down. He held her hand in his as they talked about anything and everything, like old friends who missed each other dearly. It was clear that the mother still couldn't believe her son was finally awake. She had prepared for the worst since the doctor had informed her that her son may possibly end up in a vegetative state for the rest of his life. The mother and son continued to converse until the nurse came in to tell them that Li XinWen needed to take his medicine and rest.
When Li XinWen opened his eyes next, he saw an unfamiliar figure in his room. Li XinWen narrowed his eyes and asked ”Who are you?”
Hearing this question, the man couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. ”Is that any way to talk to your patron?”
Li XinWen realized he did something wrong and quickly sorted through his memories. He found the man's information very easily. But what he found made his face turn dark and ugly.
'To think the original indulges in this kind of behaviour...'
Li XinWen stared at the man with a complicated look. According to the original's memories, this man is Xue Rui and is indeed the original's patron. Rich, powerful, and owns the no. 1 entertainment company in Huaxia. The scary thing is that, the entertainment company is not his only business. In fact, he also has his hands on one of the biggest pharmaceutical company in the world. Aside from being Li XinWen's patron, Xue Rui is also his sister's fiancé!
The only reason why Li XinWen was in an indecent relationship with Xue Rui was because the latter had taken a fancy to him and used Li XinWen's weakness against him.
Li XinWen looked back through his memories. A particular scene came to mind. Xue Rui had come to visit him during the filming of his second work after his debut. Back then, Li XinWen had only known Xue Rui for a week after his sister introduced the man to the family as her fiancé. Xue Rui acted like a gentleman and Li XinWen did not feel suspicious at all. It wasn't until break time when the two of them were left alone in Li XinWen's dressing room did he show his true colours.
