After seeing the true nature of the woman he had been pursuing, the CEO's wife cried and begged

Chapter Nine: Asking for Trouble

"Stop talking, you can go now. I know what I'm doing."

Jiang Xin clearly didn't want to continue discussing this matter.

Liu Zhenzhen sighed, turned and left, having already said all the nice things.

"Ugh……"

Jiang Xin looked at the black card in her hand, a hint of displeasure rising in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Xu Zirui didn't get home until very late.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw his parents staring straight at him, their eyes full of hope, but the scene was somewhat frightening to him.

"Dad, Mom, you're still up?"

Xu Zirui's eyes darted away.

My mom walked over quickly, looking very gossipy.

"How did your date go today?"

Xu Zirui shook his head helplessly.

"Mom, it wasn't a date, it was just a simple meal between ordinary friends. Why are you going back on your word now?"

Mom nodded with an awkward laugh.

"Yes, yes, it's just a meal, but you should try to get to know the girl better in the future."

Dad took a sip of tea and nodded in approval.

Xu Zirui could only obediently lower his head and scurry into the room.

After tidying up a bit, I was just about to rest when my phone beeped with a notification from He Yuqing.

"Brother Zirui, I had a lot of fun hanging out with you today. I hope I'll have the chance again in the future (winking face)."

A smile involuntarily appeared on Xu Zirui's face, but in an instant, he became troubled again.

Such a wonderful girl is hard to find even with a lantern, but I...

In the end, he simply replied with a lukewarm response.

"Wait for a chance later."

He Yuqing's eyes flickered on the other end of the phone, a sense of loss welling up inside her, but her gaze quickly hardened again.

"Keep going! Believe in yourself."

The next day, Xu Zirui got up early and made a sumptuous breakfast for his parents.

He had taken care of Jiang Xin for seven years, all because she said she couldn't get used to the food outside. He cooked at home for seven whole years, but he never cooked a decent meal for his parents.

Looking back now, I really feel guilty...

When Mom and Dad got up and saw this scene, they were both surprised and delighted.

"Wow, this is what my son made. It looks great, much better than your mom's!"

Mom quickly chimed in.

"Of course, this is called the student surpassing the master. There's nothing I can do about it; my son inherited my fine traditions."

Sure enough, having parents who don't spoil the fun maximizes emotional value.

But after the meal, Mom's expression hardened.

"Son, you're so busy with work, you should take more rest. Don't cook for us anymore."

"Yes, your mother and I can handle this kind of thing. We're both in good health."

Xu Zirui felt a pang of sadness.

"Dad, Mom, I was ignorant before. From now on, let me take good care of you."

After saying that, he packed his bag and went out the door, not giving the two elders a chance to refuse.

Xu Dahai and Chen Huifang exchanged a glance.

"Our son has grown up and knows how to be filial to us."

But Chen Huifang sobbed as she told the truth.

"Our son is so outstanding, why did this happen to him? Sigh..."

Xu Dahai stood there, frozen, unable to bring himself to eat the food he had picked up with his chopsticks.

……

Upon arriving at the hospital, Xu Zirui once again switched into workaholic mode.

Not only do they do their own jobs well, but they also help other colleagues with their work.

He performs several surgeries in a row, and personally handles each one. After the surgery, he personally monitors the patient's recovery to strive for perfection.

After completing the fifth surgery, Xu Zirui slumped weakly in a chair, his pale face a heartbreaking sight.

He tried to numb his mind with work, but in the end, it was like trying to cut water with a knife—the water just keeps flowing.

Suddenly, a steaming cup of coffee was handed to me.

"Master, would you like some drinks?"

Xu Zirui turned around and saw a girl with a pure and innocent look and a watermelon-shaped haircut.

This is a recent graduate of Jinghai Medical University, who is also an apprentice and assistant personally assigned to her by the dean.

Zhang Feier rested her chin on her hands, blinking her beautiful, large eyes.

"Master, why are you making yourself so tired? The dean clearly gave you leave; you can go back and rest."

"And I heard..."

She hesitated for a long time before finally saying those words.

"You've just gotten divorced, you must be in a lot of pain, you should go back and rest."

Xu Zirui forced a smile.

"No, not at all. You're overthinking it."

Zhang Feier pouted.

"Master, please don't lie to me. I studied psychology in college. The symptoms you have now are, in layman's terms, the aftereffects of divorce."

Xu Zirui rubbed his aching head.

"Alright, alright, what does this little girl know? I'm really fine."

"If anything happens, be sure to tell me. Although I'm not a psychology expert, I can definitely help you sort things out."

Xu Zirui shook his head; there was nothing he could do about this girl.

I was thinking of closing my eyes to rest, but as soon as I closed my eyes, that beautiful figure would appear in my mind.

He opened his eyes, gave a helpless bitter smile, wondering if he was really asking for trouble.

Just then, a figure flashed through the doorway.

Although it was fleeting, he still managed to capture it sharply.

Xu Zirui rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Was he too tired and hallucinating?

He unconsciously followed them out.

Jiang Xin lay on the hospital bed, her face contorted in pain, with Meng Chengze standing beside her, shouting and yelling in the hospital corridor.

"Doctor! Where is he? Hurry up and come!"

Two doctors quickly went to meet them.

"What happened?"

Meng Chengze roared.

"How should I know what happened? I just came from your hospital a couple of days ago, and the test results were perfectly normal. Now it's suddenly like this. Can you take responsibility?"

The doctor who had previously conducted the examination came over.

"Sir, Miss Jiang was examined in her legs before, but now she's experiencing pain in her abdomen. What does this have to do with us?"

"Let's talk about what Miss Jiang ate last night. She must have had an upset stomach."

Meng Chengze paused.

He shopped until very late last night before coming home, so who knew what Jiang Xin ate?

"I don't care, this is a problem with your hospital, and you have to give us an explanation!"

The doctors ignored him and turned their attention to Jiang Xin.

"Miss Jiang? What did you eat last night?"

Jiang Xin clutched her abdomen in pain, too weak to speak.

Just then, Xu Zirui rushed over, looking at Jiang Xin with an anxious expression.

"Didn't you eat last night? And did you drink alcohol?"

Jiang Xin nodded with difficulty, her pretty face deathly pale, making people feel sorry for her.

Xu Zirui couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Take him to the emergency room, I'll treat him myself!"

"it is good!"

Just before entering the emergency room, Jiang Xin subconsciously glanced at Xu Zirui, her usual strong woman demeanor completely gone.

Sure enough, he understands me best.
