She had called her assistant in advance to bring some daily necessities home. Looking in the mirror at her scarred face, she couldn't help but worry. The wounds were healing quickly, but what if they left scars?
Not to mention going shopping, even explaining things at home would be troublesome.
The assistant was also anxious. She hadn't encountered such a situation before. It seemed that the scar on Tang Tang's face would definitely heal, but it would take some time.
But she couldn't say she was staying at a good friend's house for more than half a month. Her family would definitely become suspicious. Moreover, she hadn't contacted Xin Xin yet. What if she was found out?
She didn't know how Xiao Feng got the news. Just as Tang Tang was worrying, he knocked on her door holding a tube of ointment.
Despite having many empty rooms at home, Xiao Feng, like a gentleman, slept in the guest room, leaving the master bedroom to Tang Tang. Hearing the knock, she opened the door and generously let him in.
"I think you might need this," he said, handing her the ointment.
"What is this?" Tang Tang took the ointment curiously. The casing was full of English, most of which were technical terms when translated. Tang Tang stared at it for a long time but couldn't piece it together.
Xiao Feng explained, "I asked a friend to get this for me. It's an imported medicine, said to be very effective for removing scars like the one on your hand. Once the scab that formed in two days falls off, you can apply this. They say that after twenty-four hours, the scar will disappear automatically. I haven't tried it myself, but the reviews are good."
Xiao Feng scratched his head. Tang Tang, half-believing, opened the box. Inside was a tube of ointment of a similar color to the packaging, with the same name as on the box.
It looked no different from other medicines. All she could do now was to try her best. Her only goal was to get home as soon as possible without her parents noticing anything.
Otherwise, firstly, she was afraid of her lies being exposed. Secondly, this man was her rumored fiancé. Living under the same roof with her fiancé felt a bit strange.
After receiving the ointment, Tang Tang politely thanked Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng scratched his head, "It's nothing, just a small favor." Then Xiao Feng found a chair in the room and sat down, showing no intention of leaving.
For the first few seconds, Tang Tang felt a bit awkward. Later, she remembered that with him here, she had something to ask him. As she spoke, Tang Tang waved her hand, signaling the assistant to leave.
The assistant, being understanding, said she had something to do and needed to leave first. After saying goodbye to Xiao Feng, she left the room. Once the assistant was gone, Tang Tang sat on the bed opposite Xiao Feng.
She asked cautiously, "Can you give me your good friend's boss's phone number now?" Previously, Tang Tang had been asking Xiao Feng for the phone number because she was worried about Shi Xin Xin's safety, but Xiao Feng had refused resolutely.
Considering how he had acted that day in the bar, ready to deal with her good friend's ex-boyfriend, if he handed over the phone number now, he didn't know what predicament Sheng Chen Jin would be put in.
Although there were rumors recently that Sheng Chen Jin, a man who never usually indulged in romance, had stayed home for a woman this time, it was still just a rumor.
The two had not officially announced their relationship, and no one around them knew the specifics of Shi Xin Xin and Sheng Chen Jin's relationship.
If Tang Tang believed it was as she saw, and he handed Sheng Chen Jin's phone number to her in this situation, it was hard to imagine the consequences.
Moreover, he would be the one handing over the phone number and might even be implicated. Although Sheng Chen Jin's group had not put any pressure on his own family's businesses, facing a man not to be underestimated, Xiao Feng chose to avoid confrontation as much as possible.
"I think instead of calling her boss, you should call your good friend. Her boss is very busy. What if he doesn't answer the phone?"
Xiao Feng didn't know what excuse to make and started babbling incoherently. Tang Tang clearly sensed his evasiveness and didn't want to argue with him.
"But I can't get through." She didn't know what was going on. Ever since he woke up, she had been calling Shi Xin Xin's phone, but it had been turned off.
Although Xiao Feng had repeatedly assured her that Shi Xin Xin had been picked up by her boss and was safe, Tang Tang's worried heart couldn't be put at ease. After all, she had invited her out, and when she woke up, only she was there.
How could she not be anxious? "How can she sleep for so long? The phone should be on." Every time she dialed, Tang Tang would curse, but to no avail.
From waking up in the morning until evening, her phone hadn't stopped ringing, but Shi Xin Xin's phone repeated the same message: "The number you have dialed is out of service."
She had asked Xiao Feng for Sheng Chen Jin's number before, but Xiao Feng always made various excuses. Tang Tang could guess some of the reasons, but she didn't care about them. She just wanted to hear her good friend's voice with her own ears to confirm she was alright.
Seeing Tang Tang's disappointed expression, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel sad. "Alright, to tell you the truth, I don't have her boss's phone number."
Tang Tang turned around in surprise, glaring at him. "But don't worry, I did contact him. I saw your friend being picked up by him with my own eyes."
Tang Tang was startled, thinking that Xiao Feng meant no one had come to pick up Shi Xin Xin. "What I want to tell you is that he is the chairman of an international group. There are thousands of assistants under him. The number I have, I don't even know which one it is. If you call, they might not transfer your call to him. So, it's better to contact your good friend directly."
"But I've been trying to call her mobile all day and it's turned off." Tang Tang was on the verge of tears.
Xiao Feng seemed flustered. He got up from his seat and walked over to her, saying, "Don't worry. Let's get a good night's sleep tonight. After all, you're also injured in this incident. If you still can't reach her tomorrow morning, I'll help you think of a way."
"What other way can you have? You only have the number of one of his thousands of assistants now?" Tang Tang felt disappointed. Searching like this was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
She didn't have much concept of a group chairman, but after Xiao Feng's explanation, her heart sank considerably. In fact, no matter what, Xiao Feng was a prominent figure in the business world. How could he not even have a number?
