Chapter 181, 66's Incident
I refused to compromise, and the two of us remained deadlocked.
In the end, Hu Mei called, and I naturally couldn't answer the phone, because if I spoke, I would give myself away.
Song Yafei also saw the incoming call on her phone. After seeing the name, the temperature in the bathroom dropped by two degrees.
"They're already inseparable right after the divorce, what about me?"
I found her behavior very offensive, and I tried to get away from her, but I couldn't.
Finally, I lost my temper and my face darkened. "Are you ever going to shut up? Don't forget, we're divorced. My affairs are none of your business!"
"Can you please stop clinging to me like a leech?"
Perhaps not expecting such a strong reaction from me, Song Yafei stood there stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.
Song Yafei took a step forward and approached me. I resisted and tried to back away, but there was nowhere to retreat.
She suddenly reached out, and I instinctively tried to dodge, but her hand ended up on my slightly disheveled clothes.
This time it was my turn to be a little surprised!
She smoothed out my clothes, wiped away the red mark on my lips, and softened her voice.
"That's someone Grandpa ordered me to see. I have no objections, so don't worry about it."
I was stunned for a few seconds before I realized that she was explaining her relationship with the other man.
This has never happened before.
After saying that, she turned around and opened the door, not intending to cause any trouble.
I bit my lip, watching her grip the doorknob and then stop.
She turned to the side, without turning her head, leaving me with only a perfect profile; if only she weren't so cold.
"Also, I shouldn't have let you go, you're so attractive! Don't let me see you getting too close to other women, understand?"
Although she asked me, she left after answering.
I followed closely behind and finally made it to the men's restroom, where I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Is her sudden initiative a sign of regret or something else?
A sense of unease settled over me.
When I came out, Hu Mei looked at me with some confusion, "Why did it take so long? Were you feeling unwell?"
What just happened is really hard to explain. I looked at Hu Mei and Mrs. Li with some embarrassment and difficulty.
Mrs. Li was sitting in a direction from which she could see the bathroom, and from her smile, I felt as if she knew everything.
Mrs. Li changed the subject, taking a few business cards from her bag and handing them to me.
“These are a few people I know who have some influence in the catering industry. I think you might find them useful, so keep them.”
"Thank you, Madam. Once the business is officially launched, I will definitely deliver the share allocation to you."
"We're all friends, no need to be so polite. You can divide shares over something so small? Just be considerate when you come back in the future!"
"That's natural."
After chatting about everyday things for a while, Mrs. Li received another phone call and was in a bit of a rush.
The lunch I had planned was thus ruined.
On the way back to my apartment, Hu Mei suddenly received a call from Lin Qiuran.
Lin Qiuran sounded anxious on the phone.
"Oh my god, come quick! Something's wrong with Liu Liu."
"what?"
My heart jumped into my throat.
Hu Mei also heard the contents of the phone call, immediately turned around, and comforted me very gently.
My emotions were not at peace throughout the journey.
The day Song Yafei sent Liu Liu to the orphanage, I left it there.
The orphanage was spacious and crowded, providing ample space for the children to run and play.
I thought it would be fine there.
But just a few days later, bad news came.
The reason Lin Qiuran was the one who delivered the message is because he frequently visits orphanages these days.
His hands can't do much for the time being, but with the compensation from Miss Dong, he can rest for a while.
Whenever he had free time, he would take Wu Qian and the child there, where he always felt much more relaxed.
After all, he has always been a simple-minded person.
When we arrived at the orphanage, Lin Qiuran led me to Liu Liu's little nest.
When I came this time, the little guy was lying on the ground, listless, and didn't run around my feet like he usually does.
I crouched down and rubbed the little guy's head.
Lin Qiuran told me about Liu Liu's situation these past few days.
"I don't know what's wrong. Suddenly she stopped eating and drinking, and she won't go out anymore. Is she sick?"
The headmistress also came. After greeting me, she speculated, "Have you been playing too much with the children these past few days and gotten tired?"
Although I like dogs, I've never owned one and don't know much about them, so right now I'm just worried.
I asked Lin Qiuran to bring a cage and put Liu Liu inside.
"Perhaps it's sick, I'll take it to see a doctor."
Lin Qiuran wanted to come with me, but I didn't agree.
"I have a wife and kids at home, why should I get involved! Hu Mei is here, she can handle it!"
So Lin Qiuran didn't say anything more, and Hu Mei and I took Liu Liu to the hospital together.
……
Upon arriving at the pet hospital, Hu Mei received a work call and had to leave early.
After I told the doctor about Liu Liu's situation, the doctor began to conduct some targeted examinations on Liu Liu.
I stood to the side, feeling utterly powerless, and stared blankly at the doctor's actions.
"Welcome."
The hospital's electronic alarm suddenly went off, startling me awake. As I moved aside, I didn't expect to run into Song Yafei again.
When I saw her again, I was somewhat surprised by how much she had changed.
She was wearing the loungewear I bought for her underneath, and just a blue coat on top when she came.
It was only just getting dark, and she looked completely different in this outfit compared to when she was seen during the day.
How's Liu Liu doing?
She rushed in and immediately asked me a question, leaving me a little confused.
Song Yafei explained, "This pet hospital is under the group's name, and all of Liu Liu's previous checkups were done here. They notified me when they saw Liu Liu's condition."
It turned out to be the case.
If she hadn't explained, I probably would have thought she had sent someone to follow and monitor me.
Because I was concerned about Liu Liu, I didn't have the energy to blame Song Yafei.
The doctor also saw Song Yafei, "President Song."
The doctor's gaze shifted back and forth between me and Song Yafei, probably trying to guess the nature of our relationship.
I didn't take it to heart.
Song Yafei stepped forward and patted Liu Liu's head. Liu Liu seemed to recognize her head and whimpered under her touch.
Song Yafei gently comforted her, "Be good, cooperate with the doctor, and I'll take you out to play when you're better."
Liu Liu lay obediently on the examination table.
Song Yafei inquired about Liu Liu's condition from the doctor.
The doctor told us the truth: "After examination, we found that Liu Liu is in good health. She is just a little weak because of the fasting these past two days."
"Then why is it like this?"
It's worrying that I've developed this condition when I'm not sick.
The doctor put down the test results, his expression somewhat grave.
“I’m worried that Liu Liu has psychological problems. It can’t speak and can’t express its emotions.”
