Chapter 35

"Brother Dong, it's too stuffy in the hospital! Besides, I have a wheelchair, don't I?" Wang Xuewu said with a smile.

Since meeting at the police station, He Dong was invited to visit Wang Xuewu at the hospital. Wang Xuewu's personality was much more lively than Wang Xuewen's, and perhaps because they were closer in age, Wang Xuewu and He Dong hit it off immediately. They had been on the phone quite a bit during this time.

"Even with a wheelchair, it's not okay. You have a broken bone, not a cold. If the bone doesn't heal properly, you'll be disabled! No way, I have to call your brother and have him send someone to take you back," He Dong said with concern.

"Brother Dong, don't be like my mom, okay? I just want to go out and play for a bit, and I'll be back to the hospital soon! There's no need to make a big deal out of this!" Wang Xuewu said, sounding depressed.

"What do you mean 'make a big deal'? This is about your future!" He Dong exaggerated slightly.

"Brother Dong, just let it go. I don't want to hear anything about my future! My current bad luck is all because of those four words!" Wang Xuewu's expression became even more depressed.

"Hehe!" He Dong couldn't help but be amused by Wang Xuewu's expression, knowing that Wang Xuewu had fled from the capital to Tianyang City to avoid marriage, and had a car accident right after arriving.

Although Wang Xuewu didn't want He Dong to call Wang Xuewen, he couldn't stop him. However, He Dong promised to help persuade Wang Xuewen to let Wang Xuewu leave the hospital. After all, with a broken bone, all Wang Xuewu needed was to rest and let the bone heal, whether in the hospital or not.

Wang Xuewen was really in a bind lately, and it wasn't due to being busy. His deputy, Liu Ke, had been making a lot of moves, making Wang Xuewen, who was already at a disadvantage, even more passive.

"Brother Wang, are you free today?" He Dong asked very directly.

"What? Want to treat me to a meal?" Although he was in a bad mood, Wang Xuewen never brought work-related emotions to his family and friends. So, upon receiving He Dong's call, he immediately smiled and said.

"Sure, I just don't know if Brother Wang will do me the honor!" He Dong said, playing along.

"Alright, I'm almost off work. Just name a place!" Wang Xuewen had few friends in Tianyang City, but He Dong was definitely one of them. Feeling a bit frustrated, he was just looking for someone to drink with, so he hesitated slightly before agreeing to He Dong's invitation.

"The Imperial Hall at Yan Yang Chun!" He Dong had been eating there recently and was quite satisfied with the environment and the food.

"Sure!" Wang Xuewen agreed immediately.

"By the way, Brother Wang, I have a friend...!" He Dong mentioned just before hanging up.

"Your friend is my friend, let's all go together!" Wang Xuewen said without much thought, very straightforwardly.

Since they were quite far from Yan Yang Chun, He Dong called a taxi. He helped Wang Xuewu into the car and folded the wheelchair, placing it in the trunk before getting in himself.

"Brother Dong, don't you have a car? I have several, I can have one of them drive it over to you," Wang Xuewu said, twisting his hips uncomfortably in the taxi.

"I do. When I bought the villa, they gave me an Audi, but I prefer walking or running. Didn't you know, I'm a member of the parkour club at our school!" He Dong said with a smile.

"What's the point of parkour? Racing cars is much more fun! Brother Dong, you haven't raced before, right? When my leg heals, I'll take you for a ride. Just once, I guarantee you'll love the thrill of high-speed driving!" Wang Xuewu said excitedly.

"Forget it, I don't want to end up with a broken leg or arm like you!" He Dong said dismissively.

"That's not true, I was being selfless. If I hadn't dodged that old man, I wouldn't be in this situation!" Wang Xuewu said, sounding bitter.

"Hehe, I know you're a hero. You did a good deed, and you deserve a reward. I'll give you a piece of meat later!" He Dong joked with Wang Xuewu.

About twenty minutes later, when He Dong and Wang Xuewu arrived at Yan Yang Chun, Lei An was already waiting. This time, Lei An even came to the entrance to greet He Dong personally.

"Master Dong!" Seeing He Dong get out of the taxi, Lei An immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.

"No! Brother Lei, just call me He Dong!" He Dong was startled by Lei An's respectful demeanor and quickly waved his hand.

"No, that would break the rules!" Lei An insisted.

"What rules?" He Dong asked while helping Wang Xuewu out of the car, and Wang Xuewu, who had just heard Lei An's words, couldn't help but chime in.

"What rules? When adults are talking, kids shouldn't interrupt!" He Dong playfully slapped Wang Xuewu.

"Brother Dong, just tell me!" Wang Xuewu asked, like a curious child.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just helped Brother Lei once, and he wants to repay me!" He Dong vaguely explained to Wang Xuewu.

"Oh, I see! Brother Lei, since you're Brother Dong's friend, I'll call you Brother Lei too! Brother Dong is my real savior. Although I haven't known him long, I know his character. So, I advise you, don't mention anything about repaying favors. If you really want to be friends with Brother Dong, just treat him to more meals in the future!" Wang Xuewu said, getting friendly quickly.

"Right, that's a good idea. Brother Lei, you're paying for today's meal!" He Dong said, taking the opportunity.

"No problem! No problem! Master Dong...!" Lei An nodded gratefully.

"Why are you still calling me Master Dong!" He Dong glared.

"Then... I'll take the liberty and call you Brother He!" Lei An thought for a moment and said.

"That's more like it. No need to be so formal between friends!" He Dong nodded in satisfaction.

"Brother He, and this other brother...!" Lei An looked at Wang Xuewu with a questioning gaze.

"He's called Wang Xuewu, and his brother is the main guest we're here to treat today!" He Dong realized he hadn't introduced them yet.

"Oh!" When Lei An realized who the person in the wheelchair was, his eyes lit up. He was already very grateful to He Dong, and now seeing that He Dong was so familiar with the mayor's brother, He Dong's status in his mind immediately reached the peak, making him the most important person in his life besides his family.
