In the evening, Liang Liangwei accompanied Le Peier to a charity dinner.

The banquet was a buffet, and many celebrities were invited, including some of the top stars.

Le Pei-er entered accompanied by Lin Yi and Zhen-zhen, while the others, including Liang Liang-wei, remained in the van to wait.

Feeling stuffy inside the car, Liang Liangwei got out and sat in front of a flower bed not far away, watching people come and go with nothing to do.

She suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable in her stomach, a sore and bloated sensation, and she rubbed it while frowning.

Could it be the hot pot we had this afternoon?

To fill her stomach, she did eat something cold, which must have aggravated her stomach since it occasionally aches.

Xiaosong from the team walked over from the intersection, carrying a large bag of food: "The takeout has arrived."

Everyone got off the bus to collect their takeout orders.

Liang Liangwei had ordered pickled fish, but now she couldn't eat it. She took the takeout bag with a headache.

"Sister Weiwei, why aren't you eating?" a girl named Xiaomei asked her.

Liang Liangwei said helplessly, "My stomach is a little upset, so I ordered pickled fish but I don't dare to eat it."

Xiaomei immediately and generously handed over the porridge in her hand: "My stomach isn't feeling well, eating some porridge will make you feel better. I just ordered millet porridge, you can have mine."

Liang Liangwei: "How can I accept this? You ordered porridge because you probably wanted something light. If I eat yours, what will you eat?"

Xiaomei: "I just want to eat something light, but I'm not feeling unwell. I can eat pickled fish. If you're not feeling well and you force yourself to eat spicy food, won't that make things worse? Don't hesitate, eat mine."

Liang Liangwei said shyly, "Thank you then. I'll treat you to a late-night snack tonight."

Xiaomei smiled and nodded, and the two happily exchanged food.

Liang Liangwei drank two mouthfuls of millet porridge, which slightly relieved her discomfort.

Her phone buzzed. She opened it and saw a WeChat message from Fu Yan: "Where do you live? Want to have dinner together tonight? I'm coming to find you."

She unblocked the person before her afternoon nap. The other person didn't know at first and just sent a hammer-on-the-head emoji. She found it funny and replied with a laughing emoji.

This helped to eliminate the awkwardness of not communicating with each other on WeChat for almost half a year.

Then there was silence between them, until he sent a message inviting them to dinner.

Liang Liangwei sent a picture of the millet porridge in front of her with the caption: "[Eating now.]"

Fu Yankai: [Eating takeout again? Stop eating, I'll take you out for a fancy meal.]

Liang Liangwei: [Don't call it takeout, call it a work meal. I'm still at work and can't leave.]

Fu Yankai: [Okay, shall we eat together tomorrow?]

Liang Liangwei: [I'm going back to Huacheng first thing tomorrow morning.]

Fu Yankai: [You really don't give me any chance at all. It's so hard to finally meet you.]

Liang Liangwei: [Once you return to Huacheng, you'll still have a chance.]

Fu Yankai: [That's true. I'll stay here for two more days. I'll find you again when I get back to Huacheng.]

Liang Liangwei joked: "I'm very busy; my work schedule is packed with tasks."

Fu Yankai: [...]

Fu Yankai: [Have you contacted your uncle?]

Liang Liangwei paused, her expression slightly somber: "Not yet. Have you told him about meeting me?"

Fu Yankai: [Not yet, I'm not one to gossip.]

Liang Liangwei: [I will contact him when I have time.]

She put down her phone and began to focus on eating her porridge.

After thinking for a moment, I took out my phone again and pulled out my WeChat blacklist. There were several names that I hadn't contacted in a long time, but which were still familiar.

One of the profile pictures featured a flower symbolizing wealth and prosperity, and she captioned it "Old Liang."

After looking at it for a while, I finally clicked exit, put down my phone, and continued eating in silence.

The portion of porridge was not large to begin with, and she quickly ate more than half a bowl. However, her stomach discomfort suddenly worsened. This time, it was not just sourness and bloating, but unbearable pain. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she couldn't help but bend over and cover the painful area.

Xiaomei was the first to notice her condition and asked in surprise, "Sister Weiwei, what's wrong?"

Liang Liangwei bit her lower lip and said, "My stomach hurts terribly, I'm afraid I have to go to the hospital."

Xiaomei quickly said, "I'll go with you."

Liang Liangwei: "If Sister Le needs someone, you have to be on standby. I can go by myself, but I'll have to trouble you to call a car for me."

Xiaomei quickly helped her call a car and then helped her to the roadside to wait.

After waiting for more than ten minutes for the car to arrive, Liang Liangwei was already pale from the pain.

After seeing her off to the car, Xiaomei asked her one last time, "Are you really okay on your own?"

Liang Liangwei forced a smile: "Okay, the car will take me to my destination. Once I get to the hospital, I can go to the emergency room by myself."

Xiaomei: "Then be careful. Call me if anything happens. I'll come and keep you company when Sister Le doesn't need anyone here anymore."

Liang Liangwei nodded: "Thank you."

The car headed towards the hospital.

Liang Liangwei was dozing off in the car. She didn't know how much time had passed before she heard the driver's voice: "Miss, we've arrived at the hospital. Are you alright?"

Liang Liangwei opened her eyes and looked outside. The car had already stopped at the entrance of the hospital's emergency department. She could see the information desk as soon as she got out of the car. She guessed that the driver had deliberately driven in here.

"Thank you, I'm fine."

She thanked them, got out of the car, and slowly walked into the emergency room, clutching her stomach.

Fifteen minutes later, she was finally able to sit down in the infusion room and get an IV drip.

My gastritis flared up, and it turned out to be caused by eating cold food that irritated the nerves in my stomach.

Yeah, let her take the easy way out!

Back then, even drinking some warm water was better than eating cold food.

She stared blankly at the IV drip above her head, the constant dripping of liquid making her feel dizzy.

I feel sleepy again.

An elderly woman next to her was also receiving an IV drip, and sitting next to her was probably her daughter. When she saw Liang Liangwei alone, she asked, "Are you here alone for an IV drip? Why didn't you ask any family members to come with you?"

Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "I'm here on a business trip, and I'm all alone."

The aunt said with a look of pity, "Oh, how pitiful. The little girl got sick while traveling, and she doesn't know anyone here?"

People I know...

Yes, there are.

Liang Liangwei's first thought was Yan Zhixu, but she immediately dismissed the idea.

He probably wouldn't care about something as trivial as her being sick. After all, she hadn't won him over yet; she wasn't anyone to him, and he wasn't anyone to her.

Another one is Fu Yankai, whom I just contacted, but if Fu Yankai finds out, my father will definitely find out soon too.

Although Fu Yankai said he wouldn't talk too much, being sick was no small matter, and he couldn't keep it a secret from his father.

It's the same reason he would tell her that her father had the flu.

Then I thought of Yan Zhixu.

She knew he was quite cold towards her, but she still wanted to try and see how he would react when he found out she was sick.

He took out his phone, smiled at the aunt, and said, "Yes, I'll contact them and see if they're free to come over."

The aunt muttered, "Even if you're busy, you have to come over. The young lady we know is sick; anyone would feel sorry for her. Contact her quickly."

I appreciate your kind words.

Liang Liangwei thought to herself and opened WeChat.
