Chapter 407 Angels and Demons
Even though Zhou Xiye had seen his share of storms and monsters, he was still startled by the toad that Shang Shang suddenly threw onto his lap.
The toad's back was larger than his palm, and its body was covered in bumps, making it look quite creepy.
Zhou Xiye was silent for a few seconds, looking at his fair-skinned, happy daughter in disbelief: "Shangshang, this is poisonous, you can't just grab it."
I was still hesitating whether to stand up and throw the toad away directly, or to talk to Shang Shang again and explain that this thing shouldn't be handled with bare hands.
Although Fang Hua had seen it many times, he still felt a bit uneasy seeing such a big thing. He took a few steps back and said helplessly to Zhou Xiye, "I don't know how Shang Shang can find these things. She's not afraid at all. She can grab them as soon as she sees them."
"That's nothing. She's caught several snakes too. This toad is probably going to hibernate; it's not coming out as often now."
Shang Shang looked at Zhou Xiye with bright eyes, pointing her little finger at the toad: "Baby Lai, it's pretty! Does Daddy like it?"
Zhou Xiye was shocked. He first coaxed Shang Shang to throw the toad into the bushes, then led her to the pool to wash her hands, repeatedly scrubbing her fair little hands, afraid that the toad's venom would burn her delicate skin.
Shang Shang tilted her little face up and kept asking Zhou Xiye, "Daddy, is Lai Baobao pretty?"
Zhou Xiye nodded reluctantly: "Beautiful, but Shangshang, don't catch them in the future. They need to go home to find their mothers."
Shangshang giggled, "I'll play for a little while, then go home to find my mom. Shangshang will find her mom too!"
On the way home, Zhou Xiye carried Shang Shang, while Fang Hua held Xiao Zhouji's hand.
Fang Hua was helpless: "I don't know what's wrong with her. Our beautiful Shang Shang likes to catch these things, like spiders, geckos, and lizards."
Zhou Xiye found it somewhat amazing: "She's very different from ordinary children."
Fang Hua laughed: "It's more than just different. Other kids like kittens and puppies, cute little animals. Look at what Shang Shang likes. We're worried that when she gets older and goes to school, if she's still grabbing these things, the teachers will go crazy!"
Besides, no children would play with her.
Zhou Xiye lowered his eyes and looked at the girl leaning against him with a sweet and bright smile. He couldn't understand why such a delicate girl would like these things.
Fang Hua smiled as she looked at Xiao Zhouji walking beside her: "Our Xiao Zhouji is full of energy and has a lot of destructive power. We've gone through so many bowls and chopsticks at home, and everything has to be put out of his reach."
Zhou Xiye also glanced at his son, having already experienced his son's destructive power yesterday.
He noticed there was no toothbrush holder on the sink, so he casually put it aside. Little did he expect that Xiao Zhou would grab it and use it to scoop water from the toilet.
These two children, with angelic looks, each possess their own destructive power.
...
Sun Xiaoyue was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night because Zhou Xiye had come back alive.
She couldn't understand why, after her rebirth, everyone's fate had changed so drastically.
Especially the Zhou family, whether it's Zhou Chengzhi or Fang Hua, they are different from the previous life.
And then there's Jiang Zhenhua and Song Wanying. In her previous life, until her death, Jiang Zhenhua and Song Wanying didn't know she wasn't their biological daughter and treated her very well. How did they discover that in this life?
As for that good-for-nothing Jiang Donghua...
Although he became the vice dean, he was no match for Zhou Xiye, who returned with meritorious service!
She couldn't sleep, and neither could Jiang Donghua.
Jiang Donghua had lost all joy at his promotion. The thought of Zhou Xiye returning alive and reuniting with Jiang Zhizhi's family of four was like a knife to his heart.
He is now beginning to doubt whether the previous life Sun Xiaoyue spoke of actually exists.
Jiang Donghua couldn't help himself and got up to nudge Sun Xiaoyue, who was still awake: "Didn't you say Zhou Xiye was definitely going to die?"
Sun Xiaoyue sat up abruptly in anger: "He did die in my previous life. If he had come back alive, would I still not want to marry him? He has merits and the Zhou family as his backing. Things will definitely get better and better for him in the future."
She looked at Jiang Donghua with disdain and said, "But you are so much worse than in your previous life."
Jiang Donghua gritted his teeth in anger: "Just you wait! What's so great about Zhou Xiye? I, Jiang Donghua, will make a name for myself one day."
Sun Xiaoyue scoffed, "Then I'll just watch, you coward."
She lay down angrily, too lazy to look at Jiang Donghua again. Her mind was filled with random thoughts. If this was the case, her life after being reborn would be worse than her previous life. What was the point of being reborn?
...
Jiang Zhizhi was in the outpatient clinic in the morning and had surgery in the afternoon. After the surgery, she checked the time and realized she didn't have time to go to the lab.
I called Jin Huaiying and went directly to Jiang Zhenhua's house.
Jiang Zhenhua was also surprised to see Jiang Zhizhi, who had come yesterday and was here again today: "Come in quickly, your mother is already asleep, I'll go and wake her up."
Jiang Zhizhi quickly stopped her, "No need, I just came to sit for a while. Why is she sleeping so early?"
Jiang Zhenhua sighed: "Didn't I tell you yesterday that your mother's health has been getting worse over the past two years? She used to follow your prescriptions and they worked very well, but then it just got worse and worse..."
A year ago, Zhou Xiye got into trouble, and Jiang Zhenhua didn't mention it to Jiang Zhizhi because he didn't want to cause her any trouble.
That year, he and Song Wanying spent very little time in Beijing, and even when they returned to Beijing, they didn't bother Jiang Zhizhi.
Jiang Zhizhi entered the room and sat down: "It's also my fault. I was negligent this past year."
Jiang Zhenhua quickly waved his hand: "How can I blame you? This year has been tough for you too, and you've been so busy with work. We're perfectly healthy, how could we cause you any trouble?"
Jiang Zhizhi didn't dwell on the topic: "When you noticed she wasn't feeling well, did you take her to the hospital for a checkup?"
Jiang Zhenhua sighed: "We checked, went to several hospitals, but they couldn't find a problem. I was wondering if it was a climate issue in Beijing? We even went to live in the south for half a year, but it still didn't work."
"But her condition hasn't improved in the past six months, so she came back. She doesn't have any other discomfort, but she's not in good spirits and is always forgetful. Do you think it's because she's getting old?"
Jiang Zhizhi frowned: "Have you been taking those medications I prescribed?"
Jiang Zhenhua nodded: "Yes, you've been drinking."
Jiang Zhizhi thought for a moment: "Besides the medicine I prescribed, have you taken any other medicine?"
Jiang Zhenhua nodded again: "He drank it too. It was some medicine to replenish qi and blood, so it shouldn't have any adverse reactions, right?"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled slightly: "Not necessarily. Let me see those medicines. Has my mother's appetite been good lately?"
Jiang Zhenhua shook his head: "My appetite isn't as good as before, so I have to make sure I eat a little more every day."
As he spoke, he went to get the blood-tonifying medicine that Song Wanying had been drinking.
It was also a packet of Chinese herbal medicine. Jiang Zhizhi took the medicine, opened it, examined it carefully, and then held it under her nose to steady it.
Finally, without batting an eye, he returned the herbs to Jiang Zhenhua: "Which doctor prescribed this medicine?"
