Honest Beta gets scammed

He Xiangchen is a good person.

Inside a VIP ward at Xinying Hospital.

He Xiangchen leaned against the headboard, wearing a loose hospital gown, with an IV tape on the back of his hand.

He was surrounded by a dozen expensive, sophisticated instruments, and on his bedside table were meals carefully prepared by a top nutritionist. He touched a little, but didn't finish them.

The mental turmoil that struck two days ago was so intense that he once thought he was really going to die.

After being taken to the hospital, he was given six doses of medication, which saved his life.

The attending physician marveled, saying that his luck was unbelievable.

Two large-scale mental disturbances occurred within half a month. Given He Xiangchen's mental state, he should have been crippled, but he survived.

In the end, all the doctors could say was that Enigma's incredible physical abilities and his tenacious will to survive combined to create this miracle.

However, compared to surviving the ordeal, He Xiangchen was more concerned about something else at the moment.

He swiped his fingertips across the phone screen, looking at the two messages Li Qing had sent him. He raised an eyebrow, his long fingers tapping lightly on the bed frame, as if considering how to reply.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly typed out a line of text.

I'm fine, but I need to be hospitalized for observation for a while.

After sending the message, he tapped the screen again and returned the money that Li Qing had transferred to him.

On the other side, Li Qing was looking at her phone when she saw He Xiangchen's reply, and her heart finally settled back down.

If you can still send messages, then you're alive! That's great!

But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that the other party had transferred the money back.

Li Qing's expression instantly turned somewhat puzzled. He frowned, clicked the transfer button again without hesitation, and then typed a line of text.

Why did you transfer the money back? Have you forgotten? This was the money for your suit.

H: I know you saved me, this is my way of repaying you.

return?

Li Qing frowned even more as he looked at those two words, straightened his back, and became serious.

How can this be allowed?

No, let's keep things separate. I helped you not so I wouldn't pay you back.

After he finished typing that line, he transferred the more than 200,000 yuan. Only after doing all this did he remember the main reason why he had sent a message to He Xiangchen.

There shouldn't be any spies from your family's illegitimate child at the hospital where you're staying, right?

He Xiangchen looked at the first half of the righteous and indignant words on his phone screen and couldn't help but sneer.

This country bumpkin is so stubborn.

However, the next second, when he saw the second half of the question that followed, he burst out laughing, his body trembled, and the entire hospital bed shook slightly.

A spy for an illegitimate child?

Looking back now, what happened that day was truly absurd and ridiculous.

He was just annoyed by Li Qing's constant nagging, so he wanted to make up a reason to shut her up.

Who knew Li Qing's reaction would be so spot-on? He believed everything he said, and the sympathy and indignation in his eyes were so genuine that he couldn't help but say a few more words.

The more he talked, the more exaggerated it became, eventually portraying himself as a human tragedy.

He himself felt miserable just listening to it.

He Xiangchen laughed for a while before turning his attention back to his phone.

Lately, very few things have been able to amuse him this much, so he decided to continue the lie.

Looking at the transfer notification, He Xiangchen thought for a moment and then clicked "receive payment".

Two hundred thousand yuan might not even be enough for a meal for him, and it's nothing to worry about. But it seems that if he doesn't accept it, this stubborn guy will probably keep arguing with him endlessly.

He only replied slowly after receiving the payment.

Okay, I'll take the money first. As for the spies, my assistant is quite capable; it shouldn't be necessary.

[Country bumpkin: Oh, okay.]

[Country bumpkin: So what did your doctor say?]

Upon seeing this question, He Xiangchen didn't lie this time. He omitted the part about Enigma and told Li Qing the truth.

And so, he leaned against the headboard and chatted with Li Qing casually, feeling unusually relaxed and happy.

Meanwhile, in the reception room of Shengxin Club.

Zhang Chen felt a lot of pressure.

He rubbed his ears, wondering if he had misheard, and had to confirm with the woman opposite him again: "Ms. Xu, you just said you wanted me to let Li Qing leave?"

Xu Shuang had removed her sunglasses and mask, revealing a bright and beautiful face. She nodded calmly, her expression expressionless: "Is there a problem?"

This is a huge problem!

Zhang Chen cried out in his heart.

He sensed something was wrong the moment he first saw Xu Shuang.

This young lady was all covered up today, completely different from when she usually came to the club. Zhang Chen thought something had happened, but as soon as she spoke, she said she wanted a waiter.

Zhang Chen agreed without hesitation.

Just kidding. Even if Xu Shuang and He Xiangchen are divorced, she is still a crown member of their club, backed by the Xu and An families, and is also good friends with Fang Yuehan. Asking for a waiter is just a matter of a word, isn't it?

I thought to myself, why bother making the trip in person? Why not just give him a call?

But the next second, the name Xu Shuang gave made Zhang Chen's smile freeze.

Li, Li Qing?

Zhang Chen quickly went through the entire Shengxin Club in his mind and confirmed that, from the management to the cleaning ladies, there was only one person named Li Qing.

He forced an awkward laugh.

"Miss Xu, you came all this way just to ask me for Li Qing?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shuang's eyes curved into crescent moons, and she smiled slightly: "No, I came here for a date, but I was passing by Shengxin, so I just stopped by to tell you directly."

When the word "date" was mentioned, Xu Shuang's expression was clearly beaming with joy.

Zhang Chen roughly knew that Xu Shuang's date was the rumored young model.

But whether it's a small-time model or a big star, it's none of his business.

The only thing he can manage now, or rather, the only thing that gives him a headache, is one thing—no, it seems like this isn't even within his control.

Zhang Chen carefully chose his words and politely smiled, "Well, Miss Xu, I'm afraid I can't make the decision on this matter. It may depend on what President He thinks."

Xu Shuang's brows furrowed immediately, and her tone carried a hint of displeasure.

"I just want a waiter, do I need He Xiangchen's personal approval?"

"This, this is also us..."

Before Zhang Chen could finish speaking, Xu Shuang let out an impatient sigh.

Without even glancing at Zhang Chen, she took out her phone from her bag, tapped the screen, and dialed He Xiangchen's number.

In the hospital ward, He Xiangchen was chatting with Li Qing when Xu Shuang's caller ID suddenly popped up on his phone screen.

He frowned and hung up without thinking.

In the meeting room, Xu Shuang looked at the phone that had been hung up, her eyebrows furrowed, and dialed back.

He Xiangchen had just typed two words in the chat box, preparing to continue teasing Li Qing, when he was interrupted by Xu Shuang's phone call.

He closed his eyes.

"Tsk."

Isn't it annoying?

He Xiangchen swiped the screen, answered the call, and grinned, his voice full of fake laughter.

"Xu Shuang, have you ever heard the saying, 'A good ex should be like they're dead'?"
