Chapter 151 Parent-Teacher Meeting

Time flies.

A week later, Jiang Shiyuan met the discharge criteria and was able to go home to recuperate.

On the day of discharge, Shen Min came to visit Jiang Shiyuan in the ward. As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into the clumsy Su Xier.

"Oh--!"

Su Xier's nose stung from the impact, and she leaned back.

Shen Min's clear black and white eyes widened in surprise. He quickly grabbed her forearm, and Su Xi'er's body stopped in mid-air, preventing her from falling.

Only then did he realize that his chest was wet and hot, as if someone had urinated on it.

Immediately afterwards, a strange, nauseating smell entered his nostrils.

Shen Min suddenly frowned. "What's that smell? Disgusting!"

Su Xi'er's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. "What's disgusting about it? This is turtle soup! It's good for women's complexion and for men's virility. It's a good thing!"

"I yue——!"

Shen Min felt nauseous and suddenly let go of Su Xi'er's hand.

"Ah!" Su Xier leaned back and fell awkwardly on her bottom.

Jiang Shiyuan heard the sound and came over. Seeing the scene before her, she couldn't help but laugh and quickly helped Su Xier up.

"I'm speechless! Can you really play games with people like this?"

Su Xier rubbed her sore buttocks, gritting her teeth, "I thought they were my benefactors, but they're actually treacherous! Ouch...it hurts!"

However, Shen Min had no time to care about her pain; he had already rushed into the toilet to vomit.

"Xi'er, don't talk about Dr. Shen like that."

Jiang Shiyuan was both amused and exasperated, and helped her rub her bottom. "Dr. Shen is Mr. Fu's best friend, and I was able to recover and be discharged from the hospital so quickly thanks to Dr. Shen's treatment and care during this period."

"Oh, okay, okay... I know you love everything about me!"

Jiang Shiyuan's face flushed slightly. "You're talking nonsense again!"

"So, 'love is blind, even if one is handsome,' is acceptable, right?"

Su Xier brought her cherry lips close to her ear, winking and making a quirky face, "Look at you, you can't stop praising Fu Chenzhou, even his friends. Do you think you have a thing for President Fu?"

Jiang Shiyuan secretly pinched her waist, her voice very low, afraid that Shen Min would hear, "Don't try to play matchmaker. I'm getting a divorce, and I have a child with him. It's impossible for me to be with him."

"Shiyuan, can you stop being so cowardly? If you put that same effort into your research into dating, what man couldn't you win over? Even if Fu Chenzhou were the immortal Donghua, he'd have to descend to the mortal realm for you!"

Su Xier couldn't bear to see her good friend belittling herself, so she patted her shoulder hard and said, "Divorce isn't the end, it's the beginning of a new life. As for your ungrateful son, just consider him a lonely child and forget about him."

Otherwise, carrying around a miniature Xie Jinghuai figurine would, frankly, be a bit unlucky.

What mother could stand someone talking about her son like that?

In the past, she would definitely have been angry with Su Xier.

However, at this moment, her heart was not fluctuating at all. She even wondered if she might not love Tongtong as much as she thought.

For the past five years, she has only regarded Tongtong as the only solace in her marriage, which is like a tomb.

If that's the case, then giving Tongtong a different mother would be a really good thing.

At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Shen Min, his handsome face pale from vomiting, came out. He hurriedly took off his white coat, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it hard on the ground.

"Dr. Shen, are you alright?" Jiang Shiyuan asked him with concern.

“I have a stress reaction to turtle soup. I was sick when I was a child, and my mother would pinch my nose and force-feed me every day. Now, I feel like throwing up whenever I smell it.”

Shen Min clutched her chest, feeling dizzy. "No... I feel like throwing up again."

Su Xier looked at the thermos in her hand, her eyes dark and unsettling. "Is my turtle soup really that potent?"

"Otherwise what?"

"Then I'll stew some more when we get back, and let Shen Zhantang have a taste."

Jiang Shiyuan: "...That's very thoughtful."

Shen Min raised an eyebrow. "Considerate? I think Miss Su is the most venomous woman ever."

"Miss Su?"

Jiang Shiyuan's eyes widened slightly. "Dr. Shen, if I remember correctly, this is the first time you've met Xi'er, right? How do you know her surname is Su?"

"Last time at the bar..."

Shen Min hurriedly changed his words halfway through, "Miss Su came to see you during the days you were in a coma, so it wasn't the first time she had seen you, was it?"

bar?

Jiang Shiyuan keenly caught those two words, but before she could think about them, her phone rang.

Seeing Xie Jinghuai's name on the screen instantly ruined her good mood.

She didn't want to answer, but she was afraid that the bastard was calling to discuss divorce, and she didn't know when she would have to wait if she missed it, so she had no choice but to walk to the window and answer it.

"Have you thought it through regarding the divorce?" Jiang Shiyuan asked bluntly, her tone extremely cold.

There was a pause, followed by a cold, deep voice, as always, like an emotionless machine:

"There's a parent-teacher meeting at Tongtong's school tomorrow at 4 PM. The group also has a remote acquisition meeting, and I can't be there in person, so you'll have to attend."

"Xie Jinghuai, do you even listen to human speech?"

Jiang Shiyuan was utterly astonished by the man's shamelessness. "We're getting a divorce soon, so I won't be going to the parent-teacher conference. Go find Lin Zhixin; she'll be thrilled."

“Jiang Shiyuan, no matter if we are husband and wife, you will always be Tongtong’s mother. As a mother, you must fulfill your duties as a mother.”

The man's tone was authoritative: "This is Tongtong's first parent-teacher conference since starting elementary school, and it's quite important for the child. If you want Tongtong to have a good start in elementary school, please attend on time."

"Since it's so important, why don't you go?"

Jiang Shiyuan curled her lips in a cold sneer, "Your matters, no matter how small, are the most important. And I don't even have a word to argue with you, I can only unconditionally give in?"

Xie Jinghuai, you mean nothing to me now. You have no right to order me around.

Without waiting for a response, Jiang Shiyuan conveniently landed and hung up.

Given Xie Jinghuai's self-centered nature, he must be furious right now, his cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish.

"Damn it! Xie Zha Zha made you go to the parent-teacher conference? Has he lost his mind?!"

Su Xier overheard this and was furious. "Shiyuan, you should have told him right then and there that he couldn't attend the parent-teacher meeting at all, but he would attend your memorial service in full dress!"

"Lin Zhixin will go, I don't need to worry about it."

Jiang Shiyuan spoke calmly and without emotion, "Besides, I think Tongtong probably wouldn't want me to be the one showing up at school. He thinks I'll only bring shame to him and the Xie family."

Before he could finish speaking, his phone rang again.

The person who called this time was Fu Chenzhou.

“Mr. Fu,” Jiang Shiyuan answered, her voice gentle.

"Miss Jiang, have you been discharged from the hospital?" It was a bit noisy on Fu Chenzhou's end, but his voice was still deep, magnetic, and clear.

"Yes, I've packed my things and I'll be leaving in a bit."

"I'm at the airport. I'm flying to Beicheng soon to discuss an important collaboration. This business trip will last three days."

Fu Chenzhou paused for a moment, then spoke with some difficulty, his tone both pleading and requesting, "Tomorrow afternoon, Banban School is having a parent-teacher conference. Could you attend in my place?"
