Although Qiu Mowen remembered the identity of the boy, he still took a long time to recall the boy's name.
Qiu Mowen thought to himself that he was a classmate of Autumn Wind and Shaolan's boyfriend. If he remembered correctly, the boy's name should be Li Gu.
After recalling the name, Qiu Mowen brought his hands together in front of him and slightly nodded at Li Gu. Faced with Qiu Mowen's gentlemanly demeanor, Li Gu showed a hint of surprise on his face.
Realizing the look of surprise on Li Gu's face, Qiu Mowen lowered his hands to his sides and then noticed that Chen Shanni had appeared beside him at some point.
Qiu Mowen thought that Li Gu must have been startled by Chen Shanni, so he looked up at Li Gu, but by then, Li Gu had already driven out of Qiu Mowen's sight.
Chen Shanni linked her arm with Qiu Mowen's, pressing her chest tightly against his arm, and playfully said, "Darling, why are you still standing there? Lan is waiting impatiently!"
Qiu Mowen let out a slight sigh of relief, withdrew his gaze, forced a smile, and then followed Chen Shanni into the hall with her arm linked to his.
In the hall, Shaolan was sitting at a dining table like a noblewoman. Upon seeing Chen Shanni and Qiu Mowen enter, she immediately stood up and softly said, "Long time no see... President Qiu!"
Shaolan's voice was sweet and soft, instantly sending shivers down Qiu Mowen's spine.
Qiu Mowen slightly nodded his head. "Yes! Long time no see!"
He then heard Chen Shanni exclaim from the side, "So you two know each other! I was going to introduce you..." Chen Shanni clasped her hands together, looking excited.
Chen Shanni's demeanor drew a look of disgust from Qiu Mowen. He shot her a fierce glare, his eyes reflecting anger as if to say: What kind of act are you putting on? Didn't you already know that Shaolan and Autumn Wind knew each other?
Seeing Qiu Mowen glaring at her so fiercely, Chen Shanni slowly lowered her hands from her chest. She softly urged, "Everyone sit down; why are you standing there?"
During the meal, Qiu Mowen remained silent. However, from the conversation between Shaolan and Chen Shanni, he gathered quite a bit of information regarding Li Gu.
It was clear that Shaolan was eager to shake off Li Gu and repeatedly urged Chen Shanni to introduce her to a suitable wealthy businessman.
Qiu Mowen showed no expression on his face but moved mechanically like a robot programmed to follow instructions. He shook his head helplessly as he listened to the two women’s unpleasant conversation.
Ever since he learned about his condition, Qiu Mowen no longer feared that Chen Shanni would spread news about Autumn Wind as much as before. He realized that Chen Shanni still had feelings for him; breaking the ice would not benefit her at all.
However, regarding Shaolan, Qiu Mowen couldn't guarantee anything. She actually managed to sell the negatives to Chen Shanni again after having already paid for them. If a third person showed interest in that set of nude photos and the price was right, Shaolan might even sell them a third time.
If that were the case, things would become complicated.
While Qiu Mowen was deep in thought, Chen Shanni got up and went to the Toilet.
As soon as Chen Shanni left, Qiu Mowen felt something brush against his foot under the table. Just as he was about to bend down to take a closer look, he noticed Shaolan starting to wink at him. "Mr. Qiu? I didn't expect you to break up with Autumn Wind... I thought you two would be together!"
Qiu Mowen had no response and pulled his legs back slightly.
Shaolan continued, "If it were me, I wouldn't choose Autumn Wind. No status, no career... Sister Shan Ni is much better!"
Hearing Shaolan's words, Qiu Mowen silently analyzed in his heart. Could it be true what Chen Shanni said long ago? That Shaolan only regarded Autumn Wind as her girlfriend and was unaware of the relationship between Autumn Wind and Qiu Ruolan? If that were the case...
Qiu Mowen took a breath and deliberately said, "Sister Shao... those matters are all in the past; there's no need to bring them up again..."
"Ah... you men always like the new and dislike the old... if the old doesn't go away, the new won't come," Shaolan said sarcastically.
"Ah... I heard recently that in the ‘Super Newcomer Singing Contest’, jaes is Autumn Wind's new boyfriend... I really can't see how that girl has such charm; every man she dates is so outstanding..." As she spoke, Shaolan threw another flirtatious glance at Qiu Mowen. "Mr. Qiu, if you break up with Sister Shan Ni, remember to come find me..."
This time, however, Shaolan didn't continue because Chen Shanni was walking back from the restroom. Shaolan immediately put on a supernaturally sweet smile and waved at Chen Shanni, the flirtatious expression on her face disappearing in an instant.
At that moment, Qiu Mowen had already deduced that Shaolan was unaware of Autumn Wind's true identity. He relaxed slightly and pulled out a chair for Chen Shanni as she approached him.
Looking at Chen Shanni, she appeared completely flattered.
In reality, women need very little; a warm glance from the person they love is enough.
In the following moments, Chen Shanni suddenly became very understanding. Not only did she show concern for Qiu Mowen, but when he left Beijing to return to Taipei, it was also Chen Shanni who specifically sent her subordinate from her studio to take him to the airport.
However, this behavior from Chen Shanni only stirred up feelings of resentment in Qiu Mowen. He even felt that she might be plotting something behind his back.
So, when Qiu Mowen arrived in Taipei and received a condolence call from Chen Shanni, compared to Chen Shanni's warmth, Qiu Mowen's attitude could be described as icy.
At that time, Qiu Mowen was on his way to Wang Shaowu Law Firm. On the phone, Chen Shanni gently said, "Why don't you go see Sister Sally first..."
"No need, this is a work trip, and I'm pressed for time..." Qiu Mowen replied coldly.
"Oh, I see... When will you go meet Sister Sally then?" Chen Shanni persisted.
"I'll go when I can. My schedule is tight... And don't tell my sister that I'm back!" Qiu Mowen nearly shouted.
Chen Shanni seemed startled by Qiu Mowen's tone and let out a small sound, "Oh..." She wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Qiu Mowen.
"Alright... that's enough for now, I'm hanging up!" Without waiting for Chen Shanni's response, Qiu Mowen quickly ended the call. After hearing too many of Chen Shanni's neurotic comments, her gentle demeanor felt rather terrifying.
The taxi drove for a short while before arriving at Wang Shaowu's office. Upon entering, Qiu Mowen specifically called Wang Shaowu. When he learned that Liu Jian was not present, he walked up the stairs with a light step.
As soon as he entered Wang Shaowu's office, Qiu Mowen placed his medical examination results and Medical Record in front of Wang Shaowu. Wang Shaowu was a smart man; he didn't ask many questions but had his assistant call in several lawyers and immediately began legal inquiries regarding Qiu Mowen's intentions.
Things went smoothly, and soon Wang Shaowu drafted legally binding documents according to Qiu Mowen's requests.
After completing all the procedures, Wang Shaowu dismissed the other staff from his office. Qiu Mowen actually held Wang Shaowu's hand and thanked him like a girl would.
Wang Shaowu patted his shoulder and said, "It's not that serious; don't worry... I know a few authorities in this area in the U.S.... How about I help arrange for you to go abroad?"
Qiu Mowen smiled coldly, "Surgery? It's not that easy... You know our family situation; how could there be suitable Bone Marrow... Besides, I still have many things to do..."
"What's more important, the matter or your life?" Wang Shaowu interrupted Qiu Mowen urgently. "Does your sister and Autumn Wind not know about this yet?"
"I didn't plan on letting them know... So, Wu Ge, I'm asking you not to let them worry... As for the surgery, don't worry... Once I handle everything, I'll go get it done..." After saying this, Qiu Mowen's gaze suddenly softened.
He stepped forward and hugged Wang Shaowu gently before patting his shoulder. "Wu Ge, you've seen me grow up; I really don't want to die... But I have very important things to do... Please help me keep this secret..." After finishing, he released Wang Shaowu and walked out like a hero going to his fate.
As he reached the door, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He stopped in his tracks, took a slight breath, turned around, and spoke in a relaxed tone to Wang Shaowu, "And that Liu Jian, if he dares to bully Autumn Wind, I won't let him off even if I become a ghost!"
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh, though his eyes clearly sparkled with something bright.
Autumn Wind had always been a mark on his heart that he couldn't erase!
As he exited the Wang Shaowu Law Firm and approached the elevator, the doors opened just in time for him to step inside.
While the elevator descended, he casually pulled out his phone. On the screen lay several missed calls, and as he scrolled through, he realized they were all incoming.
Once out of the elevator, Qiu Mowen called back, but the call rang once before being disconnected.
Qiu Mowen lingered at the entrance, pondering whether he should wait for Liu Jian and then pretend it was a coincidence to run into him, casually chatting about Autumn Wind.
While he was deep in thought, his phone rang. The voice on the other end carried a hint of mystery: "I was a bit busy earlier, so I hung up... I have some information on Liu Jian that I forgot last time. Are you in Taipei? I can bring it over!"
Upon hearing the topic related to Liu Jian, the restless Qiu Mowen felt as if gasoline had been poured over him again. He restrained his boiling emotions and tried hard to appear relaxed and natural. He needed to understand Liu Jian better—this person who might help him protect Autumn Wind.
"Let's meet at the café across from your office!" Qiu Mowen managed to keep his excitement in check and waved down a taxi.
