Wang Jiache clicked his tongue. "This isn't from the hospital; it's probably a fake. Things don't make sense here and there. Look..."
At this point, he looked up again, then swallowed his words. Young Master Zheng only came to him because he didn't understand; asking Young Master Zheng to help was like casting pearls before swine.
“It’s a forgery.” Zheng Lin heard a result that matched his guess, and his eyes grew even colder. “So it really is a forgery.”
Wang Jiache wanted to say something to Zheng Shao so that he wouldn't always keep putting the acquisition of their hospital on his agenda.
"Actually, our hospital has always been very well run, you see..."
"No need to look. I'm leaving now." Zheng Lin stuffed all the scattered medical records and test results on the table back into the file bag and strode towards the door.
Wang Jiache went to see him off. Leaving a good impression on Young Master Zheng would also delay the hospital changing hands.
Wang Jiache fawned over Zheng Shao and escorted him to the apartment building. "Young Master Zheng, come visit often!"
Zheng Lin opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.
The night breeze was slightly cool. He stepped on the gas and drove to the lakeside, then took out a cigarette and lit it.
He had many questions in his mind.
Why did Xiao Jin forge a fake medical record?
Who forged her medical records?
Did she really go shopping with Song Leilei because she came home so late today?
......
In the bar, Xu Jingzhi was drinking with a girl he had just met. The two went back and forth for three drinks. He glanced at his phone, looking at the profile picture and name several times, but Song Leilei still hadn't sent him a single message.
I need to send him a hundred or eighty messages to feel satisfied, and I have to say a lot about the smallest things.
What? Nothing happened today?
Impossible, impossible.
If nothing happens, you'd still buy a milk tea while walking down the street, right? Why don't you even take a picture of what kind of milk tea you drank and share it with him?
This doesn't make sense!
Even if none of these are there, why didn't they send her a single picture of her favorite male idol?
Xu Jingzhi was staring at his phone, lost in thought, when a call suddenly came in, making his heart skip a beat.
His blurry eyes didn't immediately catch the name on the screen. He brought the phone closer and saw it was Zheng Shao.
Xu Jingzhi's lips, which were about to curve into a smile, instantly flattened, and he couldn't help but sigh.
He answered the phone and walked towards the restroom, only then able to hear what the person on the other end was saying.
Xu Jingzhi leaned against the wall with a cocky grin, one long leg stretched out a foot. "Young Master Zheng, what's up?"
It was Zheng Lin's voice on the other end, asking, "Is Song Leilei with you today?"
Xu Jingzhi: "......"
The mere mention of Song Leilei's name ignited a fire within him, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "No. If you're looking for her, why don't you go directly to her?"
“You two are usually inseparable, so when I ask her something, of course I ask you.”
Xu Jingzhi closed his eyes, feeling a real headache coming on. "That makes sense. But she's not with me."
Having said that much, the other end of the phone hung up.
Xu Jingzhi entered the men's restroom with his phone in his hand. When he came out of the restroom, he staggered slightly. Something flashed through his mind, and his eyebrows twitched involuntarily.
The next second, he called Zheng Shao back, "Hey, Zheng Shao. Considering how long we've known each other, is something wrong with you? Why do you have to call Song Leilei?"
"I want to confirm whether she went shopping with Su Jin today?"
"Okay." Xu Jingzhi smiled. "I'll go ask for you. I'll get back to you later."
So Xu Jingzhi returned to the crowd, picked up his coat, and left the bar.
Why did Brother Xu leave so suddenly?
"He was the one who said he was in a bad mood, and he was also the first to leave. Life is really tough."
"Yeah, it would have been great if we could have played a few more games together. Let's go, let's call it a day."
Xu Jingzhi and his group of rich second-generation friends were also his teammates in the game.
They were playing a game in the evening when Xu Jingzhi suddenly threatened to AFK, insisting that a bunch of them come out with him for drinks and entertainment.
They had no choice but to agree. The game was like their life, and their life and death were in Xu Jingzhi's hands. They dared not refuse.
As the group got up to pay the bill, someone suddenly said, "The way Brother Xu looks today is just like someone who's heartbroken."
"What romance? Brother Xu has never been in a relationship. You could date a hundred people and he wouldn't date anyone. He only has eyes for us good brothers."
"What did that girl say last time? She seemed a bit unusual, didn't she? Think about the whole story, what happened afterward?"
"...Who remembers that?"
"Later, Brother Xu asked about a male celebrity. Do you remember him? It was that male celebrity. Brother Xu was very interested in him and even threatened us. We helped him get some juicy information about that male celebrity. Later, his conversations with us became increasingly strange, as if he cared about a certain girl."
"If you can guess this correctly, I'll kowtow to you."
......
Xu Jingzhi wanted to call, but found that Song Leilei had blocked his number. In a fit of anger, he bought a plane ticket and flew there.
This time, reeking of alcohol, he lay down in the lobby of the hotel where Song Leilei was staying.
The next morning, Song Leilei went downstairs to pick up her package and found a man lying on the sofa. She went closer to take a look.
"Xu Jingzhi!" Song Leilei nudged him awake. "Why are you sleeping here? Hey, Xu Jingzhi! Don't embarrass yourself by sleeping here."
Xu Jingzhi opened her eyes, suddenly sat up, looked around in confusion, and her eyes widened involuntarily.
How did I get here?
After waiting for two seconds, memories of last night instantly flooded his mind.
"I drank too much yesterday. It was Young Master Zheng who asked me to come find you. It wasn't my idea to come."
Xu Jingzhi was worried that Song Leilei would overthink things, so she added another sentence to cover up her own feelings, "You know how I can refuse when he asks. No one who goes against Young Master Zheng ends up badly." That was a really good reason.
Song Leilei crossed her arms and said coldly, "I understand. What did Young Master Zheng say? Did you quarrel with Xiao Jin again?"
Xu Jingzhi: "You were at the hotel all day yesterday?"
"Otherwise, we don't know anyone here, and there's nowhere else to go."
"So you mean you didn't go shopping with Su Jin?"
“I would like to, but my agent won’t let me leave the city easily. Do you think I’m as free as you, flying around all the time?”
Xu Jingzhi: "......"
"You have a boyfriend now, shouldn't you be going out on dates? He just got together with you, and he's already so cold. Don't you think about the consequences? I'm starting to suspect this is just a one-sided dream on your part."
Song Leilei couldn't stand Xu Jingzhi's foul mouth, so she didn't respond to him. She went to the front desk to get her package, glared at him, and said fiercely, "Goodbye."
He turned and entered the elevator.
......
Zheng Lin didn't return home all night, and Su Jin thought he just came back late and left early in the morning, so she went to ask the housekeeper.
Did Zheng Lin go out this morning?
Butler: "I didn't see the second young master leave this morning."
Su Jin's face turned grim. Not returning home all night would make anyone overthink.
Seeing the second young mistress return to her room looking dejected, the butler muttered to himself, "Could it be that the second young master hasn't come home since last night? We should tell the master. If he doesn't come home once, he'll do it again. How can we live like this if he gets into this habit?"
Upon hearing from the steward that Zheng Linye had not returned home, Zheng Youguo snorted angrily, "That unfilial son! He doesn't learn anything good, but instead follows in his brother's footsteps! How can he leave his wife at home and run off to do something outside? He should come home no matter how late it is."
He held out his hand and said, "Give me the phone. I want to say something to him. Let's see what he's up to outside."
At the same time, the study door was pushed open.
"Dad." Zheng Lin had just called out the name when his cell phone rang in his pocket.
When Zheng Youguo saw him return, he immediately hung up the phone.
Zheng Youguo stood up and strode to Zheng Lin. "Where did you go last night? You left Xiao Jin alone at home. She's pregnant. How could you leave her alone at home?"
"This house is still here, including you and her parents. It's not like I'm alone at home; I just went out to run some errands."
"What's wrong that you're not coming home at night?" Zheng Youguo rebuked angrily.
Zheng Lin gritted his teeth slightly, and after a long while, said, "Even though we're married, I still need my personal space."
"You wanted to marry Xiao Jin so much back then, and now you want your personal space? You really disappoint me."
"Then you'll be disappointed."
Zheng Lin glanced at the butler and said, "Uncle Wu, please make me a cup of coffee."
Zheng Youguo shouted loudly, "Don't let him soak in it!"
The butler lowered his head slightly, glanced at the second young master, and then looked at the master. "Yes."
