The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Chapter 149 If he pays any attention to her again, he's a dog
"Didn't have breakfast?"

Gao Qinghe handed a clean handkerchief to Jiang Yu to wipe her mouth, and frowned as she asked.

Jiang Yu shook her head, then nodded, and explained, "I wasn't hungry this morning, but I am now."

Looking at the roast chicken in front of me, all that was left was a chicken carcass, which my beautiful sister-in-law was gnawing on.

She ate all the good meat: two chicken drumsticks, most of the chicken breast, and a chicken wing.

The young girl smiled apologetically and shyly at Gao Qinghe, then stood up and said, "I'll go wash the fruit."

Gao Qinghe smiled indifferently, "I don't like eating chicken legs and chicken breasts, they don't have enough flavor. Chicken skin and chicken bones are the most fragrant."

So there's no need to feel embarrassed at all.

I also added, "Please peel the fruit and cut it into small pieces; that would be even better."

Jiang Yu nodded in agreement, feeling neither like she was being assigned a task, but rather like she was honored.

Looking up, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of herself reflected in the windowpane, a blissful smile on her face, and the girl felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

She seemed to suddenly understand why Jiang Afu was so desperate to die.

If the woman behind her refuses to be her sister-in-law, she will be so upset that she can't eat.

On second thought, how could her brother get a marriage certificate with a woman like that? What did he do to deserve that?
Jiang Yu carefully removed the apple and peach cores, cut the flesh into small pieces, arranged them in half on a plate, and placed them on the dining table.

"Sister-in-law, my brother said you like apples and peaches the most. On the way here, I saw someone selling fruit, so I just picked a few. Don't mind if they're not sweet."

As the girl spoke, she secretly observed Gao Qinghe's facial expressions and reactions.

The moment the two met, her sister-in-law recognized her.

But even now, I haven't heard her mention her brother.

Jiang Yu was also worried, wondering what her sister-in-law's attitude was towards her brother.

But Jiang Yu intuitively felt that there wasn't much of a problem.

Otherwise, her sister-in-law wouldn't have let her in the door, let alone treated her to roast chicken.

Gao Qinghe gestured for the little girl not to stand, but to sit down and talk.

Pick up a toothpick and fork the fruit to eat.

Eat two slices of apple first, then two slices of peach.

In those days, red apples all came from other places. They were crisp, hard, and sour, not particularly sweet.

The peaches are grown by local fruit farmers, so they are high in water content and have a sweet and soft texture.

The two kinds of fruit neutralized the greasiness of the roast chicken, and Gao Qinghe stopped after eating seven or eight pieces.

She looked up at him, her eyes clear and bright, but Jiang Yu couldn't see through them.

The girl suddenly stood up, her expression serious, and said earnestly:
"Sister-in-law, I don't know what my brother did wrong, but it must be all his fault. I'd like to formally apologize to you on his behalf. Please don't be angry."

As she spoke, the little girl was about to give a deep 90-degree bow.

Gao Qinghe's brow twitched, and she quickly raised her hand to interrupt, "Stop!"

Jiang Yu looked at her pleadingly, "Sister-in-law, please call my brother back. He's been staring at that cell phone all day, refusing to eat or drink. No matter how I try to persuade him, it's no use. If the doctor hadn't forbidden him from getting out of bed, he would have come over to apologize to you in person long ago."

Gao Qinghe's face darkened.

Jiang Yu continued, "He just had surgery and should be replenishing his nutrition, but he refuses to eat anything and is getting very thin. When asked, he says he can't eat and has no appetite."

"If this continues, I'm afraid my brother..."

Jiang Yu didn't continue speaking; she saw Gao Qinghe's eyes suddenly narrow.

A dangerous atmosphere filled the room, and Jiang Yu's heart skipped a beat, with a bad feeling.

"You won't eat or drink anything?"

Jiang Yu nodded hesitantly.

"Can't eat, no appetite?"

Jiang Yu swallowed hard and nodded.

"Heh~" Gao Qinghe lowered her head and sneered, "Jiang Baohai, you've really got some nerve."

At her age, who is she trying to impress with this self-inflicted injury?

System: [I'll show it to you, who else would I show it to?]

Gao Qinghe remained silent, simply sweeping the chicken bones on the table into an oiled paper towel, crumpling them up, and tossing them into the trash can. She then picked up the sunglasses hanging from her collar, put them on, and turned away with an air of noble aloofness.

"Let's go to the hospital!"

Jiang Yu quickly and excitedly followed.

While feeling pleasantly surprised, I was also secretly worried for my brother.

Because her intuition told her that Jiang Afu was doomed.

County hospital, single room.

Jiang Baohai lay on the bed, his left hand connected to an IV drip, his right hand clutching a dead mobile phone, his head dazed.

The patient's condition stabilized after the surgery, and the doctors removed all monitoring equipment, allowing her to move around a little more freely.

The ward was filled with fruit baskets and flowers sent by business partners. The fragrance of the flowers and fruits masked the strong smell of disinfectant in the hospital, making the ward look very warm and cozy.

But after dealing with the visitors and the noise subsided, Jiang Baohai felt that boundless silence was enveloping him again.

In the period immediately following his rebirth, he felt that this was the only way his mother could truly live.

However, all of this changed after it was discovered that Gao Qinghe had also been reborn.

Life should have someone you love by your side, laughing and joking around – that's what makes it meaningful, isn't it?

Of course, it would be even better if she weren't so stingy.

If you really want to be fair, they're both equally bad.

Why does she think it's his fault?
She just abandoned him, such a pitiful patient, in the hospital?

They dare not return the call? They really think they're something special!

Jiang Baohai gritted his teeth, growing angrier the more he thought about it.

I want to rest for a while, but as soon as I close my eyes, all I see is her every smile and frown, and I just can't fall asleep.

He even experienced auditory hallucinations, hearing her walking in the hospital corridor, her platform peep-toe sandals making a "tap-tap-tap" sound.

Jiang Baohai cursed himself in his heart, forcing himself to stop thinking about it, to get well soon and be discharged from the hospital, so he could give her a good beating.

No, leave her hanging.

He's a dog if he talks to her again!

Thinking about it this way, I immediately felt much better.

Then I thought, we already have the marriage certificate, so there's nowhere we can run away, which makes me feel even more relieved.

"Whoo~"

Jiang Baohai exhaled a breath of stale air and realized he was thirsty and hungry.

I turned my head and looked at the door of the ward. Why hadn't the person who brought lunch arrived yet?
Jiang Yu really wanted to starve his own brother to death?
Just as I was wondering what was going on, someone arrived at the ward door.

Jiang Baohai's lips curled into a slight smile. "Why are you so late? Did you want to starve to death?"

The ward door opened, and Jiang Yu walked in first, smiling with delight:

"Brother, your wife has come to see you! Aren't you happy?"

The brother and sister opened their mouths at the same time, and then both stopped talking at the same time.

Jiang Yu was stunned when she saw her brother's smile vanish instantly, turning into a cold expression in a second.

Why is this reaction different from what I expected?
Gao Qinghe walked into the ward in platform peep-toe sandals. The first thing she saw was the cozy ward filled with flowers and fruit baskets, and Jiang Baohai's face turning dark instantly.

He cast a suspicious look at Jiang Yu. "Is this the brother you were talking about who's about to die?"
She felt his life was a little too good.

Jiang Yu coughed awkwardly twice, then quickly walked to the bedside and nudged Jiang Baohai's arm.

"Brother, sister-in-law is here."

Jiang Baohai turned to the other side, leaving the two of them with a haughty back view.

Gao Qinghe chuckled softly and waved for Jiang Yu to leave.

She stepped forward and casually placed the food she had packed on the bedside table.

With his back to the person lying down, his body instantly stiffened.
