20: Chapter 20 Good People Get Good Fortune

After delivering the last package, Zhao Xiaoshuai rushed back to iSport.

The long-awaited swimsuit date was waiting for him.

"What? Coach Meng is not here?"

"Brother Zhao, I am really sorry. How about I help you contact Coach Meng?"

"No need, I'll call her myself."

Zhao Xiaoshuai frowned. Meng Yawen was not someone who would break her word; had she encountered some accident?

He called her on Weixun, but it still went unanswered.

However, he had no other way to contact her, so he could only leave a message: "Handle whatever urgent matter you have first. It's fine on my end. If you have any trouble, remember to come to me and discuss it; don't be shy."

"Brother Zhao, please rest assured. Our center heavily penalizes trainers for standing up clients. I guarantee it won't happen a second time..."

"Ah, I just remembered, I got the date wrong myself. Little receptionist, sorry for the trouble."

Watching Zhao Xiaoshuai leave, Chen Liqin muttered softly: "He was tamed just like that? It's only been a few days, and she can even get a client to cover for her after standing him up? I really didn't see that Meng Yawen had this kind of ability before."

Gong Meimei, who was sharp-eyed and quick-eared, suddenly popped up from nowhere.

"Liqin, what's going on? Did that vixen stand up a client?"

Chen Liqin explained the situation, and Gong Meimei couldn't help but click her tongue in wonder.

"That vixen must have done something for him in the VIP room, otherwise why would he protect her so much? Hmph, she usually acts like an innocent little flower, but behind the scenes, tsk tsk tsk."

In the afternoon, Meng Yawen was resting in her dormitory.

"Wow, Wenwen! Are these two LV bags yours!?"

Recently, senior students had been out looking for internship opportunities, so the frequency of returning to the dorm had decreased. This girl hadn't seen Meng Yawen for a few days.

"Yeah. But they were gifts from someone else, I can't lend them to you to carry."

"Let me check... Holy crap, these two bags cost over sixty thousand? Did you hook a golden turtle son-in-law?"

"What are you talking about? He's just a normal friend."

"Would a normal friend give such expensive gifts? And given your personality, you wouldn't easily accept them either. What's up? Do you like him?"

"Quick, tell me, is he handsome?"

Meng Yawen's university dormitory was a four-person room. This girl was named Tan Ya, and she was the one with whom Meng Yawen had the best relationship; she usually talked to her about everything.

"What nonsense are you spouting? He really is just a normal friend; we only met two days ago. He doesn't count as handsome yet, but he is working out and losing weight; he will become a real handsome guy very soon."

"You only met a day or two ago, and he gave you such expensive bags? He must be a rich guy, right?"

Tan Ya was about to ask more, when suddenly a man's shouting voice rang out from outside the window.

"That scumbag is here again. Wenwen, do you want me to help you drive him away?"

"Don't worry about him."

The man was Meng Yawen's ex-boyfriend. Not long ago, his thoughts were controlled by his little head, and he actually came up with the trick of drugging his own girlfriend.

Meng Yawen was lucky that day; a girl drank the wrong beverage instead.

The events that followed were not hard to guess.

Recently, the man had been coming every few days to admit his mistakes and beg for reconciliation.

"Actually, I can understand it a little bit. Keeping watch over such a great beauty like you, with such a top-tier body, any man wouldn't be able to resist. He just made a mistake in a moment of weakness. Are you really not planning to forgive him?"

"I definitely won't forgive him. I hate this kind of thing the most. My previous few boyfriends were about the same; after being together for a while, they would hint at me to get a hotel room every day. What do they take me for!"

"For men, is that kind of thing really so important? More important than our relationship?"

The man shouted for a while without getting a response, and then left sadly again.

Just at this moment, Meng Yawen's phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, Dad, what's up?"

"Wenwen, your mother had a sudden cerebral infarction and is now at Provincial University Hospital..."

With a clatter, her phone slipped from her hand.

Meng Yawen's brain buzzed, and she couldn't hear anything else.

Her eyes reddened, and she rushed out in a hurry. In her anxiety, Tan Ya didn't know what happened, so she only had time to put on a coat and chase after her.

Fortunately, her best friend was following, otherwise Meng Yawen might not have even found her mother's hospital room.

However, once she entered the hospital room, the situation seemed a bit different from what she had thought.

"Ah, she has passed the danger period now; she just needs to stay in the hospital for observation. The doctor said conservative treatment afterward will be fine."

"Dad! Don't just say half of what you mean, okay? You almost scared me to death!"

"I did say it..." Old Meng felt a bit aggrieved, but seeing his daughter not even wearing a coat in the middle of winter, with her eyes red, he couldn't bear to refute her.

"The doctor said, fortunately she was sent here in time. If it had been a few minutes later, your mother might not have been saved."

"I heard your mother was walking outside when she suddenly had a cerebral infarction and fainted. A kind-hearted stranger brought her here. There are still many good people in this world!"

Meng Yawen wiped her tears and quickly asked:

"Then we must properly thank them. This life-saving kindness, I must repay him well! Did he leave contact information?"

"He left it, he left it. A photocopy of his ID card, his phone number, he left everything. Oh right, he even paid 72,300 in hospital fees for us. We really have to thank him properly and pay him back quickly!"

Meng Yawen took the photocopy of the ID card. In the photo was a handsome young man, looking somewhat familiar.

That was a photo of Zhao Xiaoshuai from nearly ten years ago. Back then, he was still very thin and was a true handsome guy.

Looking at the name again, a flash went through her mind, and she finally realized why he looked familiar.

"Ah! It's Brother Zhao!"

"Wenwen, do you know this young man?"

"Didn't I find a job as a fitness coach? He is my trainee. We are... good friends. This really is a coincidence."

"Then you must properly thank him. I see this young man is quite handsome, and more importantly, his character is good. If you find him suitable, bring him home!"

"Dad! What nonsense are you talking about! We are just normal friends."

"That previous boyfriend of yours, I knew he had bad intentions the moment I saw him. Later, wasn't he... Forget it, let's not talk about that infuriating kid. You hurry up and contact him to thank him."

Meng Yawen agreed, only to realize her phone was missing.

At this time, Tan Ya, who was on the side, reminded her: "It seems you left your phone in the dorm. I glanced at it at the time, but I was in a rush to chase after you and didn't have time to help you grab it."

"Wenwen, the doctor said your mom is already stable, she should be fine. I will use the medical insurance to withdraw the money later, you go thank him first."

"I'll go right now."

[Meng Yawen favorability + 100]

Although according to the numerical value it broke through 300, in reality, it did not break through the stage, but was stuck at 299 (Favorability).

It seemed that something decisive was still missing to break through.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoshuai had already gone to another date.

"Ding-dong."

Guan Xiaosu, with a cold expression, saw the person at the door, and her face softened a little. "New slippers, try them on."

"Just right! It's like you knew my shoe size."

The room was not big and had a strong sense of lived-in life, but everything was kept in perfect order.

It could be seen that Guan Xiaosu's life was very frugal, but she was living it very hard.

He glanced at Guan Xiaosu's favorability: 233 (Favorability).

'How come I haven't done anything, and the favorability is shooting up? Cheat Dad, tell me honestly, did you give me a cheat again?'
