Shen Tang was ready to be discharged from the hospital.
Having recovered well, she could now return home to rest, especially since they had a family doctor there.
Tao Sister packed their belongings while Shen Tang sat in a wheelchair, being pushed by the two excited little ones.
"Sister, is your leg seriously injured?"
"It's not too bad."
"Then can you get up and let me sit for a while?"
Shen Tang turned her head to look at Gu Wuyang and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Yeah, I've never been on a wheelchair before!"
Shen Tang glanced at her own leg, then back at Gu Wuyang. "Didn't you see that my leg is injured? I can't get up."
Gu Wuyang scratched her head. "But you just said it's not too bad."
Shen Tang sighed, "That was just a polite remark. You shouldn't take it seriously."
Gu Wuyang pouted. "Grown-ups can be so hypocritical."
Shen Tang nodded, feeling the same way.
Children are better. They say what they mean, like what they like, and dislike what they dislike.
While chatting, Tao Sister finished packing everything.
When they arrived, Shen Tang was alone, but now there were several suitcases, and she had no idea where all these things came from.
"Madam, shall we go back now?"
"Wait, I want to see someone."
Shen Tang went to the door of the room where the girl who had been bullied was staying. She looked through the window on the door and saw her chatting with her family. Although her face was pale, she couldn't hide her smile.
She seemed to be in good spirits.
Shen Tang didn't want to disturb her abruptly, so she asked a nurse for a piece of paper and wrote a sentence, instructing the nurse to pass it to her.
"Madam, aren't you going in?"
"If she's fine, then I can rest assured. Let's go."
Having witnessed her vulnerable side, Shen Tang was afraid that her presence would remind her of unpleasant memories.
As Shen Tang left, the girl seemed to sense something and looked towards the door.
"What's wrong?"
The girl smiled and shook her head. "Nothing, I just feel like someone is watching me."
"Maybe it's a doctor."
The girl nodded. "Perhaps."
After a while, a nurse knocked on the door and handed her a piece of paper. It said, "May good fortune follow wherever your gaze falls."
The girl held it tightly. "Hello, may I ask who sent this?"
"It's from Shen Tang, Miss Shen."
The girl revealed a bright smile. "It's her..."
A middle-aged woman beside her seemed lost in thought and made a note of the name.
The tail end of summer passed by in a blink, and autumn arrived unnoticed.
Shen Tang wore a sweatshirt and a short skirt, with a cap on her head, holding a cup of milk tea, squatting by the roadside and sipping it.
Qi Yue drove by, searching for her and eventually resorted to making a phone call.
"Where are you?"
Shen Tang stood up, threw the empty milk tea cup into the trash bin, and then waved her hand. "I'm here!"
Qi Yue took off her sunglasses, looked her up and down, and couldn't help showing a look of disdain. "You're wearing that?"
Shen Tang lowered her head and looked at herself, feeling puzzled.
"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"
She thought it looked pretty good. Just look at those slender and fair legs.
Then she looked at Qi Yue, well, dressed in a formal gown and high heels. There seemed to be quite a gap between the two of them.
Qi Yue sighed, "Never mind, we're running out of time, let's go like this."
Shen Tang had no idea what they were going to do until she sat in the car.
The night before, Qi Yue had messaged her saying that she wanted to show her the world, and Shen Tang eagerly agreed.
"So, where are we going?" Shen Tang asked.
Qi Yue gave her a disdainful look. "You're only asking now? I thought you weren't curious."
"Hehe, I trust you," Shen Tang replied.
"I'm taking you to a banquet to expand your network," Qi Yue said.
Shen Tang had never attended a banquet before. In her mind, it was filled with successful individuals discussing high-end business deals while holding glasses of red wine.
Upon hearing Shen Tang's thoughts, Qi Yue burst into laughter. "Haha, don't think too highly of them. They're just a bunch of posers. You'll see when you meet them tonight."
Before long, the car stopped, and Qi Yue pulled Shen Tang out of the car and up the stairs, finally pushing her towards a man who didn't seem quite straightforward.
"Tony, please give her a full makeover," Qi Yue said.
Upon hearing the name, Shen Tang couldn't help but think sarcastically, "Do all stylists have the same name?"
Tony raised his delicate fingers and flirtatiously glanced at Qi Yue. "Miss, any specific requests?"
"Just make her look good," Qi Yue replied.
Shen Tang paused for a moment, realizing how simple and unassuming the request was.
First, she had a full-body spa treatment, followed by the selection of a dress.
Qi Yue pulled out a dress and tossed it to her. "Let me try this one."
It was a seemingly simple dress with hidden intricacies, revealing an exquisite back and collarbone.
Whether it could captivate men, Qi Yue wasn't sure, but it would certainly mesmerize women.
Qi Yue thought Shen Tang would look stunning in it.
Tony was also amazed. "Wow, this dress suits you perfectly. Miss Shen, come, sit here, and I'll do your makeup."
"Wow, your skin is flawless, not a single blemish," Tony exclaimed.
"Oh my, your eyelashes are so long, I'm envious," he continued.
"Oh my goodness, you..." Shen Tang wanted to ask if everyone here spoke like him, but she held back.
She smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for the compliments. You look beautiful too."
Tony blushed shyly. "Oh, you have a good eye. By the way, do you have a boyfriend?"
Before Shen Tang could answer, Tony said, "I have a boyfriend, and he's in the same circle as you."
Shen Tang: "..."
"Ah... I wish you both a lifetime of happiness," Tony said.
"Thank you for the kind words," Shen Tang responded.
Tony seemed to have thought of something and giggled mischievously, making Shen Tang worry that he might mess up the eyeliner due to his shaky hands.
It must be said that Tony, as a stylist for celebrities, had his skills.
Shen Tang opened her eyes again and looked at her familiar yet unfamiliar self in the mirror. She was momentarily stunned.
Was she always this beautiful? Hahaha.
Shen Tang smiled, revealing all sixteen teeth. Qi Yue frowned and told her to tone it down.
Shen Tang chuckled and took out her phone to start taking pictures.
After all, she wouldn't look this beautiful every day, so she had to capture the moment in photos.
She picked the most attractive photo and sent it to Gu Huaian, only to quickly retract it.
Qi Yue witnessed the entire exchange and asked, "Why did you retract it?"
Teasingly, she added, "Boyfriend? When are you going to introduce me?"
Blushing, Shen Tang shook her head and said, "No, it's my boss."
"Oh," Qi Yue drawled, clearly unconvinced.
Just then, a notification sound from WeChat chimed.
[Wealthy Dad: Why did you retract it? I didn't see what you sent.]
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow. She didn't think Shen Tang would be someone's sugar baby; it must be a matter of amusement.
Tsk, she really knows how to play.
