Can’t Take My Eyes Off You Chapter 494 - Strange Man

Chapter 494: Strange Man

Du Chen took a long hard look at the passenger in the car before wheeling himself away.
“Get up, Mom! Look at me! I’m fine!” Du Chen stopped beside Mrs. Du and helped her up before looking at Lu Xingzhi. “Master Lu, I am sorry for all the trouble caused for the past few days. I promise it will never happen again.”
“I am so sorry, my baby boy, it’s all Mom’s fault!” Mrs. Du clutched onto Du Chen’s leg, her voice hoarse from all the crying.
Zhou Weiqi exited the building with his belongings and stood next to Lu Xingzhi. Looking at the two people who used to be his relatives, he said nonchalantly, “Let’s go, Brother Lu.”
Delighted to see Zhou Weiqi leaving with his personal properties, Zhou Ning remarked, “Dad, look! Without us, he’s immediately fired by his boss!”
Mr. Zhou glared at his daughter. “Shut up!”
He was not foolish, for he knew that Zhou Weiqi had a strong support system pulling strings for him behind his back.
“I call this a promotion! Hear it? A promotion!” Zhou Weiqi waved a document file under Zhou Ning’s nose.
Mr. Zhou squinted trying to get a good look on the file waving around in the air. It was a document from the Department of Public Relations for the Jin City City Council.
Before he could find out the job position listed on the document, Zhou Weiqi had already stuffed the file back into his bag and left.
The Department of Public Relations for the Jin City City Council!
He did not expect the Liang family to treat Zhou Weiqi with such good care and effort. They immediately arranged for a position for him in the Department of Public Relations for the Jin City City Council!
Even starting off working as a lowly clerk, with the support and endorsement of the Liang family and Lu Xingzhi, climbing the bureaucratic ladder was only a matter of time for Zhou Weiqi.
“How did he deserve this?! Changkang could not even get this position, how could he be so lucky!” Mrs. Zhou kept repeating this sentence, like a person under a spell. She clutched her chest, trying very hard to breathe, only to faint moments later.
Jiang Yao sat in the car during the entire exchange with Du Chen. She watched him finish his sentence without any requests or threats before he left.
To say she was surprised was an understatement. She could not believe that Du Chen was willing to accept the fact that he would never stand up again. The opportunity was right in front of him, but he let it go without even trying.
“Jiang Yao, what are you looking at?” Zhou Weiqi was in a chummy mood, having one-upped the Zhou family at last. He sat in the rear seat and patted Jiang Yao’s shoulder after noticing she was staring off into the distance in silence.
Lu Xingzhi noticed it as well, but seeing that she was not willing to talk, he kept quiet and started the car.
They were halfway when Jiang Yao realized that they were heading for the Liang family’s house. After some mental debate, she decided to spill the beans.
“Du Chen knew I was the Divine Doctor. Strangely enough, he had no intentions to expose me and seemed to not care that he can never stand again. While you were dealing with the Zhou family, he came up to me. He even reminded me to wear a pair of sunglasses next time to protect my identity.”
