Super Soldier

Chapter 446 Xu Wenting’s Worry

When they returned to the Xiao Mansion, dinner was ready for them. Yezi felt glad when she saw Xu Wenting. She pulled the girl closer and apologized for not being there for Xu Wenting when the tragedy happened. She did not even know about it until Xiao Bing told her. Yezi then began comforting Xu Wenting. They were close friends and they shared everything.

All the others were interested in Zhang Qiang, especially in his occupation. Although Zhang Qiang was merely an obscure actor, at least he was able to tell them inside stories about the industry. The entertainment industry was always a mystery to outsiders. Zhang Qiang had been in this industry for many years, which gave him a vast knowledge about the industry. The stories he told revealed the unknown toil and smuttiness in this industry, The industry was a combination of brightness and darkness.

When they were chatting with each other, the food was served on the table and they started tucking into the food. Zhang Qiang thought that he might be discriminated, but he was warmly welcomed. He was treated like a family member. He believed that he had made the right decision. He drained 5 or 6 bottles of alcohol and even asked for more. He stood up and slammed his hand on the table. Then he bellowed, “Let me sing a song for you to lift our spirits.”

The audience applauded.

It was a renowned folk song, but Zhang Qiang was too drunk and was slightly off key, which made the others laugh out loud. But Zhang Qiang was too intoxicated to notice.

After he finished singing, he suddenly slammed the table again and cursed, “Damn that woman. When I achieve my fame later, I will tell her right in her face that I, the man who had been jobless because of her, can be successful too. Losers can be winners if they try hard. Besides, I’m never a loser. I’m very talented in acting…”

Grinning, Xiao Bing said, “He’s drunk. Dumbass, help him get to his chamber and let him rest. Auntie Li has prepared the room for him.”

Dumbass nodded. Then he walked over to Zhang Qiang and put the drunkard’s arms around his shoulders. Zhang Qiang tried to wrench free while muttering, “Leave me alone. I’m not drunk… Finally, I will be successful. I’m so excited about it…”

After Zhang Qiang went to his chamber, Xiao Bing sighed and said, “Truly everyone must try hard to achieve success, even in the entertainment industry which seems so bright and fanciful for other people. There are so many talented people like him, who are suppressed for all kinds of reasons. I’m full. You all enjoy your food. I will go and check on Little Huarui.”

Yezi stood up and said. “I’ll go with you. Wenting, I’ll be back in a few minutes.”

After they walked into the room, Yezi said with a faint smile, “Brother Bing, according to what Zhang Qiang said, it seems that you and Bi Tingting are very good friends. He was invited by Bi Tingting this time.”

Xiao Bing was startled, then he pretended to be serious, “Yes. I came to know her during a mission before.”

Yezi smiled, “You only know her?”

Holding Yezi in his arms, Xiao Bing said with a smile, “So what? You know me well. I scarcely talk to other girls. Maybe Bi Tingting thinks I’m a decent man and she wants to help Xu Wenting, so she did her this favor.”

“Really?” Yezi said suspiciously, “But anyway, I should thank you. I have been busy working ever since I left school, so I seldom hang out with my friends anymore. If it weren’t for you, I would never have known that so many things happened in her family. If I was not there for her, I would feel bad, because she was for me when the tragedy happened in my family.”

Xiao Bing walked to the door and held Yezi in his arms. He spoke in a soft voice, “Silly, I’m your man. If I’m helping her, it means that you’re also helping her. They won’t blame you, after all, you have a clan to look after. It’s not an easy job. But you are doing well. That’s something truly remarkable.“

Yezi looked up and stared at Xiao Bing, “Thank you, Brother Bing.”

The door was suddenly opened by Lui Xiaorui, when their lips were almost pressed against each other. Liu Xiaorui stared at them and asked cutely, “Brother and sister-in-law, are you kissing?”

Yezi seemed abashed by the girl’s sudden appearance. She disentangled herself from Xiao Bing’s arms instantly, and walked to the living room. “I’ll talk with Wenting first, ” she said, without turning her head back.

Smiling, Xiao Bing said, “It’s already late and we have rooms here. Why don’t you ask Xu Wenting to stay for the night? You can share your bed with her and have some girl’s time together.”

“Sure!”

After Yezi left, Liu Xiaorui asked, “Is my sister-in-law shy?”

Xiao Bing touched Liu Xiaorui’s nose and laughed, “Silly girl, you are too young for this.”

“I’ve seen it in cartoons. If a couple are interrupted during kissing, they will feel abashed.”

Xiao Bing had a wry smile, “What a kind of cartoon is that? You are still young and should not watch that kind of cartoon. You really should watch another kind.”

“I know now.”

“Come on, I will help you with your homework tonight. Your sister-in-law will accompany that auntie called Xu Wenting.”

Xu Wenting decided to stay for the night. She called her family and they did not object since they knew she was in her best friend’s home. They just told her to be careful. Liu Xiaorui fell asleep after Xiao Bing told her some stories.

This room was Yezi and Xiao Bing’s room. But tonight Yezi and Xu Wenting would sleep in Liu Xiaorui’s room. The two could not stop talking when they were lying in bed. Xu Wenting told Yezi about the interesting things that happened in the campus after Yezi left. Yezi told her friend how Xiao Bing had been a comfort to her after the tragedy and how he helped her manage the company. When Yezi told Xu Wenting about how Xiao Bing was there for her like a real man, Xu Wenting’s eyes glittered.

Yezi smiled, “Wenting, I always think you’re the proudest among us. I wonder what kind of a man will your husband be like.”

Xu Wenting smiled faintly, “Me? I’m not eager for marriage now… I believe one day my prince charming will come to me and help me when I’m at my lowest point…”

Yezi smiled, “Just like Brother Bing and me?”

“Yes.” Xu Wenting smiled, “Just like Brother Bing and you…”

Yezi gradually fell asleep while talking. Maybe it was because she was too tired during the day.

But Xu Wenting got up and walked to the window. She looked at the stars in the sky, wondering who could be there for her when she felt helpless and devastated… Would the man be like Brother Bing?

“What am I thinking of? Brother Bing belongs to Lil Xi, who is my best friend. Xu Wenting, why is a proud girl like you having such nonsensical thoughts in your head?”

No one knew how this girl tossed and turned on the bed, after Yezi told her about how Xiao Bing had helped her during her family crisis.

The next morning, after they finished their breakfast. Xiao Bing dropped little Huarui off at the kindergarten first, then he came home and found that Yezi had gone to work. Su Xiaoxiao had gone to the noodle house to help out. Xiao Bing summoned Xu Wenting and Zhang Qiang to his room, to work on the plan.

First of all, Xiao Bing knew where that woman was living from Xu Wenting’s narration. Then he called his men to find out what this woman’s routine was like. It was easy for Xiao Bing to get the information since he owned a powerful intelligence network. After his men told him what they found out, Xiao Bing told Xu Wenting and Zhang Qiang, “My men have found out something about her. This woman often goes to the gym, beauty salon and the mall near her house. She goes to the beauty salon every three days, and to the gym and the mall every day. As for Wenting’s father…”

Xiao Bing hesitated and Xu Wenting sighed. “It’s alright. Brother Bing, just say it.”

“Your father will go there three days a week, and he will stay for 3 hours. But he seldom spends the night there.”

Xu Wenting sighed, “Two or three hours are enough to do many things. I understand…”

Noticing that Zhang Qiang had been listening intently, Xiao Bing asked, “Zhang Qiang, do you have any plan in your mind?”
