Chapter 459: Chapter 460: Is There Still Room for Redemption?
Tang Jingming wanted to cry but had no tears, "Brother Shi, I didn’t..."
"Let’s go." Shi Lingyan slowly exhaled the last puff of smoke, extinguished the cigarette, and turned to walk towards the Maybach.
The chauffeur, who had been alert, had already gotten out of the car to open the door, waiting respectfully for them to get in.
"Is this the car you called?" Shi Mei glanced back askance.
Tang Jingming immediately nodded with guilt, "Yeah, this car is both big and comfortable, it’s so early, we can still catch some more sleep, hehe!"
"Mr. Shi is also invited by you?"
Mr. Shi?
Shi Lingyan was about to get into the car and paused for a moment when he heard this title.
The already deep and dark of his eyes became even more inscrutable at that moment.
But it was just a brief pause, and Shi Lingyan got into the car.
Tang Jingming shivered slightly and felt her gaze somewhat piercing, the thin anger within it made him extremely uneasy, "Yes... yes..."
Shi Mei’s smile was very polite, she looked at Tang Jingming and said calmly, "You didn’t tell me."
"I, I, I... I forgot..."
Tang Jingming felt like crying.
Why did it seem like everyone hated him?
Could he... still make amends?
"Please get in," the driver smiled, "It’s not easy to flag a cab now. Traffic in Imperial City is quite tense, and it’ll get congested if we delay any longer."
"Yeah, yeah, let’s go," Tang Jingming went to pull Ye Tiao and also reached out to nudge Gao Lian, "Officer Gao... Gao, let’s go."
Gao Lian had no objections, he hadn’t had the chance to ride in such a luxurious car before, it was quite an experience for him.
After getting into the car and seeing that Shi Lingyan was seated in the back, Gao Lian raised his eyebrows and made his way to sit beside him.
Tang Jingming originally planned for Shi Mei and Shi Lingyan to get along well and have a good talk, but with Gao Lian intervening, Tang Jingming’s plan was foiled.
However, he didn’t dare to provoke Shi Mei at this time, so he quietly took the front passenger seat like a muted chicken, staying out of the fray.
After all, from the beginning to end, they hadn’t said a word.
Just looking at each other, not even their gazes sparked off any fireworks.
Shi Mei was the last to board the car, and after getting in, Ye Tiao spoke up, "Brother Shi, is your health fully recovered?"
Ye Tiao spoke and clearly saw Shi Mei’s ears twitch.
Obviously, Shi Mei was very interested in this question too.
Shi Lingyan responded indifferently.
Ye Tiao continued, "You woke up just a month ago, and you can go out already? I thought I heard you should rest quietly for two or three months."
Shi Mei turned her head to look.
Shi Lingyan was now leaning back in his seat, eyes closed, appearing to be resting.
Sensing Shi Mei’s gaze, Shi Lingyan’s eyes suddenly flew open, meeting hers directly.
It was like fireworks colliding; Shi Mei’s heart skipped unexpectedly and she quickly turned her head away.
Gao Lian saw their subtle movement clearly, his lips curled slightly, but he remained silent.
Shi Lingyan’s lips curved into a faint, silent smirk and he said in a soft voice, "Doctor’s orders are meant to deceive the elderly; I know my own body."
"Wow," Ye Tiao couldn’t help but applaud, "So what about the elderly person in your family who’s been deceived?"
Tang Jingming couldn’t help turning around, "They have been deceived again. He told Grandma Shi that he was going out for treatment, even putting on a convincing show by inviting two doctors to the house..."
"Are you very idle?" came a cold voice.
Tang Jingming immediately fell silent.
