61: Chapter 61 A Battlefield in the Ward: Gao Mingxuan's Disguise

"Hey? You little brat, listen to me finish!" Zhu Xiumei was unhappy to hear her son was about to hang up the phone.

The only person who could truly keep Tang Luochuan in check was his own mother.

Tang Luochuan shuddered, knowing his mother was angry: "Alright, speak."

"Just come back and take a look. I'm not saying you have to marry her, just tell the girl from your school! If you don't like the one at home, Mom won't force you! But Aunt Li and Aunt Wang are coming over every few days; it's getting hard for me to keep turning them away!"

"Fine... fine..." Tang Luochuan reluctantly agreed.

"Hey, Son, let me tell you! Out of the several people introduced to you, your mother only approved of one. Do you know Meng Fanyi from Meng Village? Your high school classmate!!"

"Oh~~ Hehe~~" Tang Luochuan laughed.

"Happy now?"

"Hehe, let's talk about it when I get back."

"Alright! Waiting for your return!"

After hanging up, Tang Luochuan rested his hand on the chair, pondered for a moment, and then transferred 200,000 to his mother, leaving a message: "Made a bit from stocks! It's prize money from a school technology competition!"

He made up some random excuses and urged his mother to accept it quickly.

As for that Meng Fanyi, Tang Luochuan certainly had an impression of her.

She wasn't his 'white moonlight' or his first love; she was just a high school campus belle he had become estranged from.

They weren't just high school classmates; they had been in the same grade since middle school and elementary school.

Tang Luochuan thought about it; in this life, he had only talked to her more during elementary school.

But as this girl grew up, she became more calculating, and there were many boys surrounding her.

After middle school, they barely had any contact.

"Demolition? So, a blind date?" Tang Luochuan muttered to himself, not feeling like it was a big deal.

Let everything follow its natural course.

At breakfast, Tang Luochuan suddenly said to the two girls: "I'm going to order a Rolls-Royce this afternoon. I talked to the shop on the phone a few days ago, and they said there's new stock today! I'm going over to take a look."

"..."

Hearing this, even Jiang Jinyue, that rich young lady, couldn't help but start re-evaluating this guy.

"Luochuan... did... did your parents send you living expenses again?"

"No, I haven't even finished spending what they gave me before!" Tang Luochuan replied casually, but it was the truth.

His mother had previously given him 6,000 yuan for three months of living expenses.

He hadn't touched a single cent!!

"You haven't finished spending the previous amount?" This time it was Shen Muyan's turn to be speechless: "But... you can't just spend money recklessly. There are already so many cars at home, and you're still buying more?"

"I've discovered an issue!" Tang Luochuan was very serious: "A Rolls-Royce is the standard accessory for a successful man to show off. Honestly, a porsche and a BMW are still lacking a bit!! Gao Mingxuan really has good taste... Hahaha!"

Mentioning Gao Mingxuan, Jiang Jinyue's face went cold; she didn't want to hear that name again.

...

At the Third People's Hospital of Shanghai, Su Wantang's hospital room was crowded with people.

Several classmates had already arrived with their teacher, bringing fruit baskets and supplements to visit her.

Su Wantang's parents had also rushed over, along with several relatives.

Everyone was asking after her health in the hospital room.

"Wantang, the school will cover the medical expenses! Also, rest well, and come back when you've recovered!" a female teacher said softly by her bedside.

Su Wantang expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Teacher, and thank you, classmates..."

As she was speaking, a burst of hurried footsteps approached.

"Wantang!!" Before seeing the person, his voice was heard first.

Gao Mingxuan had arrived!

Just from the tone, one could tell he was burning with anxiety...

But when he pushed the door open and entered, the eagerness on his face was mixed with a touch of deliberate panic.

Behind him followed two assistants in suits, carrying exquisitely packaged bird's nest and imported fruits; the display was quite grand.

Su Wantang's parents immediately stood up to welcome him, polite smiles plastered on their faces: "Mingxuan, why are you here? You've spent so much money."

Several girls who knew Su Wantang well also swept their gazes back and forth between the two with ambiguous looks.

"Oh my, Wantang must be happy now, your Brother Mingxuan is here."

"Look at you, you're stunned!"

"I didn't expect it, but Brother Gao is still quite concerned about you; look at how anxious he was."

"Your sweetheart is here, feeling better?"

The female classmates poked at Su Wantang's irritated heart with their comments.

Gao Mingxuan walked quickly to the hospital bed, his tone full of "concern": "Wantang, I heard you were injured, it worried me to death! I kept sending you messages after the party yesterday; no wonder you didn't reply! Are you okay?!"

Su Wantang still didn't speak, looking at him with fearful eyes; she was reminded of Jiang Jinyue's words again.

If not for those words, she might not have been able to accurately perceive the other party's change.

But with those words, she realized that Gao Mingxuan's attitude had turned too quickly.

"I'm fine."

"That day... I am truly sorry! I..." Gao Mingxuan sat by the bed, looking very sincere.

The Su parents looked at the two, unable to hide the smiles on their faces.

Su Bingqiang patted Gao Mingxuan on the shoulder: "Xiao Gao, Wantang has been nagging about you in my ear! Neither her mother nor I are as effective as you; you should coax her well..."

The father was clearly trying to set the two up; Gao Mingxuan had a prominent family background, and in his eyes, he was the best son-in-law.

Furthermore, it was rare for his daughter's taste to align with his own, so there was no need to worry too much.

"Brother Mingxuan, you don't need to apologize, I'm fine! I'm just..." Su Wantang pondered for a moment: "Just tired."

She was very irritated at this moment, mainly because Jiang Jinyue had guessed correctly.

"Uncle, Auntie, I am truly sorry! I didn't take good care of Wantang two days ago, and I said the wrong things; it was my fault! Wantang is still angry with me! I am really sorry."

Gao Mingxuan's tactics were clever; he directly and openly brought up what happened that day.

"Oh, you're just kids! It's normal to have conflicts. Besides, even couples of many years often quarrel! Your aunt and I argue every few days, it's fine."

Li Haixia also held her daughter's shoulder: "Wantang, you can't throw a temper tantrum. Look at how thoughtful he is, coming specially to visit you and bringing so many things. Talk to Mingxuan for a while! Don't be petty."

"I know~~" Su Wantang's voice was very weak, without any emotional ripples.

Li Haixia gave the young man a look and greeted everyone to go out: "Classmates, Teacher, let's step out for a moment! Old Su and I will treat everyone later, thank you all for your concern."

After everyone left.

Only Su Wantang and Gao Mingxuan were left in the room.

Gao Mingxuan also knew it was awkward; he had been a bit too excessive with his scolding that day.

"Wantang, I'm sorry... I..."

"Brother Mingxuan, Jiang Jinyue said your family's capital chain is in danger of breaking; is that true?"

Su Wantang's voice was light, but it made Gao Mingxuan's heart race with shock!!

Jiang Jinyue already knew?

"No wonder... no wonder!" Gao Mingxuan sat by the bed, looking at the wall, his eyes cold for two seconds, then changed to disbelief.

"Jinyue..." he said slowly: "Did she really say that?"

"Yes!"

"That's right, we did encounter some problems, but it's not that serious! What does a student like her know? I really misjudged her."

"Brother Mingxuan, at this point, there's no need to lie to me!"

Gao Mingxuan sneered in his heart: It's exactly now that I have to lie to you, dammit!

He took a deep breath: "Why would I lie to you? She must have told you that I liked her for her family's money? I don't deny that I liked her, but that's because I've known her for so many years... but now I've realized!"

Gao Mingxuan leaned forward slightly, his tone adding a bit of deliberate earnestness, and reached out to touch Su Wantang's hand.

Seeing her subconsciously dodge, he retracted it without changing his expression, a flash of gloom crossing his eyes.

But it was quickly covered by gentleness: "Wantang, you are the person who understands me best; how could you believe her words? My family and the Jiang Family are family friends; it's true that her family is well-off, but I, Gao Mingxuan, am not so desperate that I need to rely on clinging to a woman to get by."

"The company has indeed encountered some minor trouble recently; a few cooperation projects had some slips, and capital turnover is temporarily tight, but it's only temporary. My dad is already connecting with new investors; at most, in half a month, everything will return to normal. How could it possibly reach the point of a capital chain break?"

Gao Mingxuan suddenly smiled 'bitterly': "Alright, if you believe her and don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
