Chapter 67 - 67 066 Xie Shang Folding Peach Blossoms (First Update)

Chapter 67: 066: Xie Shang Folding Peach Blossoms (First Update) Chapter 67: 066: Xie Shang Folding Peach Blossoms (First Update) Chu Guanlin had just left when He Dongzhou’s call came in.

“Why weren’t you answering your phone?”

“I lost my phone, just found it.”

“Director Zou called me this afternoon, beating around the bush, asking why you left as soon as he arrived at today’s lunch meeting?”

“He was late.”

He Dongzhou asked, “By how long?”

“Six minutes.”

He Dongzhou didn’t say anything, this had always been Xie Shang’s habit. He had a strong concept of time, always arriving early for his appointments, but he didn’t wait for anyone.

Xie Shang didn’t like waiting for people.

That evening, a sudden gale brought down an old telegraph pole on Lotus Pond Street, causing a power outage for miles around. The lights were connected to that very pole.

As dusk gradually fell, Xie Shang took an umbrella and went out.

Dessert Shop’s Boss Wang saw him standing under the eaves with an umbrella and invited him inside.

“Boss Xie, waiting for someone?”

“Yeah.”

“It’s raining. Why don’t you come in and wait?”

Xie Shang thanked him and walked into the shop, choosing a spot with a good view to sit down. Boss Wang brought over a bowl of sweet soup, which Xie Shang tasted and found it too sweet.

He occasionally glanced towards the intersection.

He sat in the shop for about forty minutes, leaving his mobile phone behind when he left.

*****

As Xie Shang had said, the next day the neighborhood was buzzing with the news about Wen Changling’s relationship with Xie Shang. Their interest shifted quickly, no longer discussing Ah Na’s matter, and they started making various assumptions about the hardships Wen Changling would face after marrying into a wealthy family.

It certainly wouldn’t be smooth sailing, there would certainly be class prejudice, they would certainly use money to force a breakup—this was how it always played out on TV dramas.
