Chapter 92 Ordinary Friends

Ye Shaoyang asked, “This person you have mentioned, how did he get your Bazi?”

Zhou Ming thought for a while and realized, “It’s my profile on my company corporate website! My date of birth is on there, so he must have found it there!” He immediately made a phone call to his office and ordered them to remove his date of birth .

Zhou Jingru said angrily, “This Wang Chen is really an asshole! Daddy, how about an eye for an eye? We can retaliate in the same manner . There’s no way the sorcerer he hired is more powerful than Brother Shaoyang . ”

Zhou Ming shook his head, “This is a crooked trick and not a gentleman’s way . Your daddy does not need this . I’ll take my revenge through competition in business . I’ll make him lose again . That’s the right way . ”

Zhou Ming’s words impressed Ye Shaoyang . This man was indeed a gentleman with entrepreneur spirit . No wonder his business could grow into such an empire . It was no coincidence . Ye Shaoyang picked up another sheet of Xuan paper and inscribed a rune on it . He handed it over to Zhou Ming and said, “This paper has a Qi Regeneration rune . Stick it on your dantian . . . I mean right under your umbilical . This will hasten the regeneration of your Qi . I guarantee that your health will return to normal in three days . ”

Zhou Ming looked at him with grateful eyes . He even addressed Ye Shaoyang differently now, “Little Ye, thank you so much for your help . Since you are also a close friend of my daughter, I’ll surely treat you as one of our own . I can’t thank you enough . From now on, you can look for me if you need help with anything . ”

Although Zhou Ming had not fully recovered, he still felt significantly better with the trouble resolved . He asked Ye Shaoyang, “Little Ye, I saw the way you ground the ink and held the brush . It seems like you are very familiar with it . Is your calligraphy good?”

Ye Shaoyang smiled and answered, “I’ve inscribed runes with writing brushes for more than a decade, so I’m quite familiar with it . ”

“You are being humble . What do you think of my calligraphy?”

Ye Shaoyang picked up the paper on the coffee table to take a closer look at the calligraphy . The top row was written in cursive script, the row below in regular script .

After he inspected the writings for a while, Ye Shaoyang commented, “Uncle Zhou, your regular script is written very tidily, every stroke ends with a great pause . As people always say, ‘One’s writing reflects oneself . ’ Your calligraphy reveals your character and your style of working . You must be a man with principle in your business, a businessman with entrepreneur spirit . You are a decisive man . ”

Zhou Ming nodded with a satisfied smile . Everyone liked compliments .

“However,” Ye Shaoyang’s tone turned more serious, “Due to your strict temperament and your rationality, your cursive script… . It is good, but the strokes are constrained and lack wildness . Most of the time, notable cursive calligraphy is written with enthusiasm under spontaneous inspiration . ”

Zhou Ming stared at Ye Shaoyang with an impressive look . He nodded and praised, “I didn’t expect you to have such prospects in calligraphy, besides being a powerful sorcerer . You are a great young man . Will you please write a piece of calligraphy for me?”

“I seldom practice calligraphy . My calligraphy isn’t that good,“ Ye Shaoyang clasped his hands and turned down the request .

Zhou Ming smiled and did not push his request any further . He turned to Zhou Jingru and said, “Little Ru, you must treat Little Ye nicely . He is different from your other friends . ”

“I know daddy . I have never treated Brother Shaoyang like an ordinary friend,” she replied . However, she quickly realized the connotations of her statement, and she immediately blushed .

Zhou Ming remained in his bed because he was still weak . He thanked Ye Shaoyang again and again . Then, he wanted Zhou Jingru to personally send Ye Shaoyang home . The pair walked out of the building and entered the hospital’s parking lot . Zhou Jingru walked toward a luxurious red car and opened the door . Ye Shaoyang felt awed . He stood behind the car and looked at it . He did not recognize the logo, but the car looked luxurious and had four exhaust pipes . Ye Shaoyang could immediately tell that the car was expensive .

“What’s wrong? Get in!” Zhou Jingru said .

“Is this your car too?” Ye Shaoyang asked once he hopped in .

“This is my car . The Lamborghini you saw last time is my dad’s . My shoulders’ were feeling a little sore, so I couldn’t drive . My dad let me borrow his chauffeuse, but she didn’t know my car that well . That’s why she picked me up with my dad’s car . ”

Ye Shaoyang felt surprised, “That beautiful driver is your father’s too?”

“Of course . I don’t need a driver . I enjoy driving . ”

“Oh . . . ” Ye Shaoyang replied with a rather sinister look in his eyes . Zhou Jingru realized what he implied . She gave him a scornful look, “What are you thinking about? She is only a chauffeuse . My father is not the type of man you are imagining . ”

“Which kind of man?” Ye Shaoyang acted innocent .

“Hmph! You know what is on your mind . ”

Ye Shaoyang knew that she had caught him red handed . He smiled awkwardly and tried to change the topic, “What car is this actually?”

“A Porsche Cayenne . I don’t like to be in the spotlight . This car is not that expensive, and it is low-profile enough . ”

“I see . How much does it cost?” Ye Shaoyang innocently asked .

“Not that expensive, just a little over a million . ”

Her words rendered Ye Shaoyang speechless . It was really stressful to talk to a rich person .

As Zhou Jingru drove, she asked about Ye Shaoyang’s life and what he did lately . She asked him about the urgent matter he was handling when she called him the other day . Ye Shaoyang recounted the story to her as simply as he could, but his experiences still horrified Zhou Jingru .

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Zhou Jingru confronted him with an unhappy face .

“Why?” Ye Shaoyang looked at her, “This matter had nothing to do with you . It was too dangerous . I didn’t want to get you involved . ”

“Like you said, it’s dangerous . I don’t want anything bad to happen to you . Next time, tell me a little earlier if you bump into cases like this . Maybe I can help you or give you an idea, right?”

Her words slightly touched Ye Shaoyang . He nodded and did not comment any further .

Zhou Jingru drove to the place he lived in . When she saw the old building, she felt surprised, “Is this the place you are living in?”

“The exterior is a little ugly, but it’s quite comfy inside . ” Ye Shaoyang smiled, “This is actually the policewoman’s house . She didn’t even request rental . Considering that, this is actually good enough for me . ”

Zhou Jingru immediately felt a little upset when she heard that it was a policewoman’s house . She told Ye Shaoyang she could get him a new home . Ye Shaoyang knew that Zhou Jingru could afford that . She would undoubtedly arrange for him to stay in either a luxurious mansion or a high-class residential area . He thought about it and shook his head, “No thank you . I’ll let you know if I really need your help . ”

His reply surprised Zhou Jingru . Then, she replied with a hint of jealousy in her voice, “Do you enjoy living in this kind of old building? Or do you enjoy getting a house as a gift from someone?”

Ye Shaoyang did not expect her to take it this way . He felt stunned for a while . Then, he smiled and said, “You are overthinking things . I live here because, firstly, it is near the school . Secondly, everything I have is already moved inside, so I’m too lazy to move again . Besides, even though this building is a little old, it has everything necessary inside . It is a convenient place . It has nothing to do with Officer Xie; she doesn’t live here . ”

Zhou Jingru kept her silence after she heard this .

Ye Shaoyang exited the car, but before he could enter the building, he received a call from none other than Rui Lengyu herself . She wanted to meet him at Yalan Pub . This invitation pleasantly surprised Ye Shaoyang . He instinctively wanted Zhou Jingru to turn back and drive him to the bar . But he quickly realized that this was a stupid idea . So, he called for a cab instead . It was a little past noon, and there were not many people in the pub . Rui Lengyu wore a long, blue dress . She looked both elegant and cool at the same time . She sat in her usual spot, as she drank her usual red blood-like liquid .
