Chapter 27: This Time, I’ll Block the Winds and the Rains for You
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Queena Ye clutched her phone tightly and looked really upset.
She never thought that Fae Lee would gang up with Phil Loong and Lance Yan to attack her just because of her run-in with Wind Chen.
But she didn’t blame Wind Chen for this matter.
At the same time, she didn’t intend to tell Wind Chen the truth.
Even though her feelings towards Wind Chen had taken a huge positive turn, somewhere deep inside her mind, Queena Ye didn’t think Wind Chen was able to help her resolve all these problems.
She had no idea that while Wind Chen was in the hospital, he had received a call from Old Master Ye.
Old Master Ye told Wind Chen that Queena Ye’s company was now in an unprecedented crisis. Even his company was in a difficult situation. The Loongs and the Yangs joined forces and attacked his business.
The old man asked if Wind Chen could help.
Wind Chen didn’t agree, but he didn’t refuse either. Old Master Ye’s attitude told Wind Chen that the old man knew a thing or two about his background and history.
“Hello, beautiful Ms. Tang, could I trouble you to buy some food for me to eat? I’m starving.” Wind Chen flashed Shea Tang his brightest smile.
“Trying to get me out of the way again?” Shea Tang was smart enough not to fall for his ruse.
Wind Chen sighed and pulled the IV needle right out.
“What are you doing? How could you just pull the needle out like that? Lie back down on the bed!” said Shea Tang hurriedly.
“I have an important matter that I must attend to right now.” Wind Chen was extremely serious.
“What is more important than your own life? Your back wounds are very serious. If it gets infected, you’ll…”
“Ms. Tang, perhaps you have no idea, but to me, anything that concerns my wife is more important than my own life.”
Wind Chen whooshed right past Shea Tang.
Shea Tang was stunned for a moment, and by the time she spun around, Wind Chen had completely disappeared.
Wind Chen was still in hospital clothes when he arrived at Star Cultural Company, only to be stopped by the security guards.
The two security guards eyed Wind Chen suspiciously, and one of them asked sternly, “Who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Queena Ye. She’s my wife,” replied Wind Chen.
“Are you nuts?” The other security guard couldn’t help but laugh. “Bro, you’d better get back to that mental hospital you came from.”
“Move along now. Don’t create any trouble here.”
The two security guards started pushing him along.
Wind Chen took a deep breath and was about to pull a move that would help him sneak in when he spotted Queena Ye step out of the elevator from the corner of his eye.
“Wifey, over here!”
Wind Chen hurriedly started waving.
Queena Ye heard a familiar voice calling her, but when she turned and saw that it was Wind Chen, her expression instantly darkened. She walked over swiftly to Wind Chen in her high heels.
“Ms. Ye, we’re very sorry. We’ll throw this fellow out right now.”
The two security guards started to panic. They thought that Queena Ye was angry at them for not doing a good job at their post.
“Stop right there.”
Queena Ye pushed the two guards aside and said in a low voice, “He’s my husband. If he ever comes to the office, don’t stop him from coming in.”
The two security guards stared at her with eyes as wide as saucers.
Wait, what? This guy was seriously Ms. Ye’s husband?
This fellow looked more like a mental patient. How was he so lucky as to have married Queena Ye, their cold and aloof boss?
Sometimes, it was better to just not compare or question why.
“Wifey, let’s talk outside.”
“What’s there to talk about? I’m sending you back to the hospital.”
Queena Ye’s expression remained cold as she dragged Wind Chen out.
On their way out, shock colored many employees’ faces, especially some of the female staff. A deep urge to gossip began to burn within them.
Meanwhile, Queena Ye’s anger started to boil over after she had pulled Wind Chen out of the building. “I told you to rest in the hospital, so why did you come out? What if you get an infection? Why do you make me so worried about you?”
“I’m alright.”
“Alright? The wounds on your back are so severe. You have to be confined for at least 10 days! Wind Chen, if you continue to disregard your health like this, I’ll…I’ll…”
Tears started to well in Queena Ye’s eyes as she spoke.
Wind Chen felt warmth overwhelm his heart.
Queena Ye cared about him after all. He suddenly felt that the two years he suffered abuse in the Ye house had been worth it.
“The company’s in big trouble, isn’t it? Tell me exactly what’s happened, and I might be of help.”
“The company’s fine, and you can’t do anything anyway. Can you please go back to the hospital? I beg you, please?” Queena Ye pleaded with him.
“Sure, as long as you tell me exactly what’s happened to the company, I’ll return to the hospital right away. But you must not lie to me.”
“Alright then.”
After Queena Ye thought about it, she decided to quickly explain the various issues that the company was facing right now.
“How much money would it take to resolve all these issues?” asked Wind Chen.
“I’m afraid money alone won’t be able to resolve these issues. A lot of platforms and sales channels have terminated their contracts with us, and we’d have to find new partnerships to keep our staff and customers. Also, the Loongs and the Yans keep launching new attacks, and our website keeps getting hacked, I…”
Queena Ye was finding it hard to even continue speaking.
Wind Chen knew that Queena Ye was now undergoing tremendous stress.
“What position does Worldread Culture have in your industry? If you establish a long-term partnership with Worldread Culture, would you be able to get through this crisis?” asked Wind Chen.
“Worldread?” Queena Ye smiled bitterly and said, “Worldread is backed by Soaring Leap Group, and they’re developing and expanding at an astonishing rate right now, so they’d eventually become the leader of this industry. If we can establish a long-term partnership with them, the company would definitely be able to walk out of this crisis. But why would Worldread care about a small company like mine?”
“Leave this to me. This time, I’ll block the winds and the rains for you.”
Wind Chen gently hugged Queena Ye.
After that, he turned and left.
Queena Ye just stared at Wind Chen’s back in a daze. What he just said had deeply touched her heart.
‘This time, I’ll block the winds and the rains for you…’
His words kept ringing in her ears, again and again.
It was only after he had walked a long distance that Queena Ye finally snapped out of her daze. She yelled loudly, “Wind Chen, get back to the hospital right now!”
“I’m going back now!”
Wind Chen waved at her.
Return to the hospital?
No freaking way.
When he reached the road, Wind Chen dialed Lola Chinn’s number.
Lola Chinn was now taking patients at the clinic and was very surprised to receive a call from Wind Chen.
“Lola, where are you?”
“At the clinic. Why?” asked Lola Chinn.
“I’m coming to look for you right now.”
Wind Chen hung up immediately.
“If you come to look for me, aren’t you afraid that your wife would argue—what? He hung up? This idiot actually hung up on me? Argh! This fellow will be the death of me!”
Lola Chinn stomped her feet.
“Doctor Chinn, is my illness serious?”
An elderly lady was sitting in front of Lola Chinn and asking her questions.
Lola Chinn regained her composure and smiled. “Your illness isn’t serious. Remember to take your medicine as prescribed, rest well, and don’t stay up late.”
After that, Lola Chinn wrote the elderly patient a prescription and left her instructions.
Wind Chen got to the clinic after she had seen the old lady out.
She was surprised to see that Wind Chen was in hospital clothes. “What’s happened to you?”
“I was in a car crash. Everything’s fine,” replied Wind Chen casually.
“You were in a car crash, and everything’s fine? I can’t believe you. Where are you injured?”
Lola Chinn felt her heart leap into her mouth as she asked him anxiously. She didn’t know why she suddenly felt so anxious either.
“I’m really fine, Lola. Bring me to Worldread Culture Company. You know, the one that your dad gave me.”
“You’re injured. Why don’t you focus on recovering first?” Lola Chinn stared at Wind Chen and couldn’t hide the concern in her eyes.
“Well, her company’s in big trouble, and I want to help her to resolve it as soon as possible.”
“Oh, I get what’s going on now.” Lola Chinn gritted her teeth. “You’re such a scoundrel. Do you only remember me when your wife is in trouble?”
