99 Chapter 99 injury, don't think that I care about you

After hanging up the phone, Shi Jue felt a wave of frustration.

He didn't know what to do with himself.

Clearly, Xia Weiyang didn't like him. However, Shi Jue was always ready to look after her.

He always had to make sure that Xia Weiyang was safe and protected.

Xia Weiyang was at her office.

She was preparing to meet a potential client that her colleague told her about.

Since it was the weekend, there weren't too many people in the office.

After waiting for a while, a woman with a noble aura arrived.

Xia Weiyang chatted with the woman for a while. From their discussion, she learned about the woman's taste in style and design. She also learned that the woman wanted to have a new dress made for her upcoming birthday party.

"I could personally embroider a qipao dress for you. It will have a simple yet elegant design," Xia Weiyang said as she picked up a pencil and started drawing on a piece of paper.

"Miss Xia Weiyang, you know how to embroider?" the woman said as her eyes lit up.

"Yes, I do," Xia Weiyang humbly said.

"Only a few young girls know how to embroider these days. I like it very much. However, I can no longer hold a needle or thread properly because of my age." The woman's demeanor became more relaxed as she discussed a familiar topic with Xia Weiyang.

"Here's my illustration of the dress. If there's anything you want to change, let me know so we can discuss it," Xia Weiyang said.

"Okay," the woman said as she examined Xia Weiyang's drawing. The more she looked at it, the brighter her eyes became. "Yes, this is the style that I want. I like it very much. However, I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it," she said as she lowered her head to look at her slightly plump belly.

"Don't worry about that. I can adjust the size of the dress to give the area around the belly more space. It won't be too noticeable from the outside," Xia Weiyang said.

The woman couldn't take her eyes off Xia Weiyang's drawing. "Okay. But I need the dress a week from now for my party. Will you have enough time to finish it?" the woman asked.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure that it's ready before your party."

"Alright, thank you. Also, I couldn't help notice that your face is a little pale, Xia Weiyang. Are you sick? You should always keep yourself healthy and strong," the woman said.

"Yes, I'll make sure to do that," Xia Weiyang politely responded.

After the woman left, tears began to roll down Xia Weiyang's eyes.

She had never met such a kind client before.

She acted like a loving and caring mother to her.

Ever since she returned, Xia Weiyang had been searching for traces of her family.

However, since Shi Jue bankrupted the Xia family, they had disappeared without a trace.

Xia Weiyang needed to find them in order to know the truth about her real mother.

She then cleared her mind so she could focus on her work.

Since she only had a week to finish the dress, Xia Weiyang worked tirelessly.

Time passed quietly.

It was already nighttime.

Xia Weiyang still had no intention of stopping.

Shi Jue, on the other hand, was at home when he received an update from Mo Yi.

After hearing Mo Yi's message, Shi Jue's handsome face instantly turned dark.

"Xia Weiyang!" Shi Jue shouted as he gritted his teeth. "You continue to neglect yourself. You should be resting!"

After washing up, Shi Jue went to bed. However, he could not fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.

He could not help but think about Xia Weiyang working tirelessly at her office. He then pulled the blanket over his head in an attempt to fall asleep.

Suddenly, Shi Jue sat up, lifted the blanket, and got off the bed. He walked to the window and pulled the curtains open to stare into the distance.

After a moment, he turned around to change his clothes. He then grabbed his black coat and left his room.
