Sharing Dreams with My Bestie’s Cousin
Chapter 218 - 218 He said I can wait

Chapter 218: He said: “I can wait. Chapter 218: He said: “I can wait. Wen Zhi gasped, enduring the pain, “I dodged the issue earlier.”

“Dodged the issue? Who are you kidding!”

Wen Yiwan, of course, didn’t believe her. She stared at Wen Zhi’s hand, thinking, no wonder Wen Zhi was wearing loose long sleeves in such fine weather—it must have been to deliberately cover something up.

Wen Yiwan reached out and pulled up Wen Zhi’s sleeve, revealing fingers and wrists wrapped in layer upon layer of white gauze.

Wen Yiwan faltered, “You’re injured?”

Wen Zhi stepped back, creating distance, then pulled her sleeve down to cover the gauze, “This is my business, don’t touch me.”

Her tone carried a warning.

Obviously, Wen Yiwan’s actions had annoyed her.

Wen Yiwan let out a light snort, “Your hand, did you get hurt in Lin City? Are you…”

Before she could finish, Wen Zhi sharply interrupted, “I said this is my own business, stop meddling in my affairs.”

“You think I enjoy being nosy?” Wen Yiwan said irritably, “Fine, I won’t ask about your affairs. I’ll even pretend I didn’t see the wound on your hand. Just tell me, where is Mu Yanzhou in Lin City?”

“I don’t know.”

It was the same response; Wen Zhi then promptly slammed the door shut.

Luckily, Wen Yiwan had retreated in time, otherwise, the slamming door would have likely hit her directly in the face.

She angrily banged on the door, “Mu Yanzhou is in Lin City, right? He must be there! Definitely there!”

The more she spoke, the more convinced she became, and eventually Wen Yiwan let her pounding hand fall.

She muttered to herself as she turned around, “I’m going to Lin City to find him right now…I’m going right now…”

…

Not long after, Fang Rong, the maid from yesterday, informed Wen Zhi that Wen Yiwan had already left.

At that moment, Wen Zhi was watering plants on the balcony while Fang Rong said, “Madam didn’t take any luggage with her. After Su Tong booked her a ticket to Lin City, she rushed straight to the airport.”

Wen Zhi paused with her watering, “It’s better that she’s gone.”

Peaceful.

Fang Rong continued, “Madam has been frantically searching for master these days, she nearly went insane. Earlier, she got some information from Young Master Shang and was especially agitated.”

“Her agitation is pointless, it’s not like rushing to Lin City will simply lead her to find my father.”

After speaking, Wen Zhi threw the watering can aside and asked Fang Rong, “Did she take Su Tong with her?”

Fang Rong shook her head, “No, Madam left in a hurry and besides…”

“Go on, there’s nothing she does that would surprise me,” Wen Zhi said, unfazed.

Fang Rong then said, “Besides, since you recently moved back to the Wen Family home, Madam always felt you were plotting something big. Before she left, she instructed Su Tong to stay and keep an eye on you.”

Wen Zhi raised an eyebrow, “She really thinks everyone is as paranoid as her.”

Fang Rong gave a light laugh.

Wen Zhi, hearing the laughter, suddenly turned to look at Fang Rong and threw in, “But you’re quite impressive. I just asked you to keep an eye out, and you kept such close watch, beyond my expectations.”

Fang Rong’s smile faltered, and she lowered her head, “If Miss values me, I naturally try my best to seize every opportunity.”

“Enough, don’t give me that act in front of me.”

Wen Zhi bluntly spoke, “Just because I usually don’t pay attention doesn’t mean I am completely unaware. Wen Yiwan doesn’t like you much; how could she keep you around just because you cook well? It’s only because you were hired by my father, no one but my father can fire you.”

After hearing this, Fang Rong bowed her head even lower.

Wen Zhi softly chuckled, “Considering you’re willing to serve me, I’ll turn a blind eye this time.”

Fang Rong suddenly raised her head, her smile also widening.

“Don’t smile too happily; you’ve got a job to do for me,” Wen Zhi said.

Fang Rong did not hesitate, “Miss, please tell me.”

Wen Zhi glanced outside the room, “Tonight, bring Su Tong to my room, but remember, she cannot be conscious when brought in.”

Fang Rong’s eyes widened, “Miss, what are you going to do? You aren’t planning to kill Su Tong, are you?”

Wen Zhi narrowed her eyes, her expression looking very dangerous.

Seeing Fang Rong’s shocked appearance, she lowered her voice on purpose, “Usually, Wen Yiwan keeps ordering Su Tong to bully me. Do you think I might take advantage of Wen Yiwan being away on a trip to quietly take it out on her Wutong?”

Fang Rong swallowed hard, “Miss, you wouldn’t do that.”

Wen Zhi chuckled and patted Fang Rong’s shoulder, “Alright, I’m not serious. Even if I have a grudge against Su Tong, I wouldn’t go as far as killing her. Just bring her in tonight, but keep it quiet. I know you can manage that.”

Fang Rong indeed knew how to do it.

She agreed.

After Fang Rong left, Wen Zhi went back to her room to check her phone, only to realize she had missed a call from Shang Hexing.

She immediately called back.

Upon answering, her first words were, “I’m fine, I was just watering the flowers.”

She was worried Shang Hexing might be concerned, so she explained right away.

A voice from the phone said, “I’m on my way.”

Wen Zhi was surprised, “Hmm? You’re coming here?”

He said, “To take you out for dinner.”

“Where are we eating?”

“Jiuqu Villa.”

“Oh, good, I’ll change into something else right away.”

“No rush.” The voice from the phone, Shang Hexing’s, held a hint of a smile, “Still more than ten minutes.”

Wen Zhi replied, “My hand is injured. I need to be quick; if I dawdle, I’ll have you waiting again.”

Shang Hexing responded, “I can wait.”

Wen Zhi felt sweet inside and ended the call to change her clothes right away.

Being punctual and with an injured hand, Wen Zhi hurried to change her clothes and fix her hair so as not to keep Shang Hexing waiting.

After dressing up, she also carried a small purse, not just for her phone but to hold something even more important.

Walking through the courtyard, she noticed all the roses had been pruned, which improved her mood even more.

As she was about to leave with her purse, Su Tong, who had been hiding in a corner watching, suddenly stepped out to stop Wen Zhi, “Miss, where are you going?”

Wen Zhi stopped in her tracks and turned around, “Do I need to report my whereabouts to you?”

Su Tong approached, “Of course not, I didn’t mean that. But the lady specifically instructed me before she left to take good care of you, Miss. I am just worried in case something unfortunate happens while you’re out and I would have to explain to the lady.”

Thinking of what she needed to do that evening, Wen Zhi avoided conflict with Su Tong for the time being and smiled slightly, “Just going out to have dinner.”

As she spoke, Shang Hexing’s car arrived.

This was a private trip, not in the usual L5 but a common domestic car, which looked unremarkable from the outside.

Su Tong craned her neck to look out and even asked, “Miss, whose car is that?”

Wen Zhi replied, “If you’re that curious, go and see for yourself.”

Su Tong sheepishly closed her mouth.

As Wen Zhi stepped out the front door, Chen Jinhai was already waiting by the car. Upon seeing Wen Zhi approach, he immediately opened the car door for her.

Wen Zhi bent down to get in.
