I prefer my wife to my life
Song Yu sent Xu Qiao home and left. After Xu Qiao finished the IV drip, she felt better and originally asked her to have dinner with her, but she hesitated for a while and declined, saying that she had something to do.
Xu Qiao watched the door close in front of him. The heat pack in his pocket was still emitting residual heat. He gently squeezed it and took it out and placed it on the coffee table. His phone had been receiving messages all morning, but he was too dizzy to pay attention.
He glanced at the screen full of messages and simply called. He picked up the medicine box he had just brought back with his fingers and asked in a calm tone, "What's the matter?"
"What's going on?" the person on the other end yelled. "What are you asking me? I was so worried you'd die of a fever at home, so I called you in such a hurry. If I weren't on the high-speed train right now, I'd rush over to your house and beat you up."
"I'm not dead yet. I'm fine," Xu Qiao said. "I went to the hospital this morning and got an IV drip. I'm feeling much better now."
Li Yu was speechless. "How can I know if you are fine or dead if you don't answer the phone or reply to messages?"
"How can I call you if I'm dead?"
"You went to the hospital alone?"
"no."
"......" Li Yu slowed down, "I say, who did you learn this attitude of wanting your wife more than your life?"
"When she came to see you yesterday, you were still taking a cold shower?" Li Yu couldn't control his emotions. "You knew she would come to see you. What if she didn't come? Wouldn't you have to crawl to the hospital alone?"
"We can get there even if we have to crawl." Xu Qiao's eyes fell on the hot pack on the table. "And didn't I win the bet?"
"......" Li Yu had nothing to say and could only hang up the phone to express his anger.
Xu Qiao threw his phone aside, leaned back on the sofa and let out a long sigh. He had originally planned to force himself to go to the classroom, but maybe he took a cold shower a little too hard yesterday. He shook his hand weakly, the effect of the drug had not yet worn off. He changed into pajamas and lay on the bed, holding the remaining warmth of the hot pack in his hand and fell asleep again.
-
Ever since Song Yu blocked the contact information of both of them, her life had been very quiet for a while, so much so that when she saw Song Qixing standing in front of her with an expressionless face, she couldn't react for a moment to who this person was.
"Get in the car."
Song Yu frowned, "What are you doing? Where are you going?"
Song Qixing said coldly: "You are so arrogant now. I have to ask you to do anything in person."
"If you don't listen, I'll have to find a man to take care of you." He looked at his watch. "Mr. Li's son from Huguang Group likes you very much. I'll take you to meet him today."
After saying that, Song Qixing glanced at Song Yu from head to toe. "You're so idle and unlearned all day long. It's very likely that you won't be able to find a job after graduation. It's better for you to find a man and marry him as soon as possible so that you don't have to worry about us in the future."
Song Yu asked bluntly, "Do you have an illegitimate child? Are you afraid that I will compete with him for the family property, so you want to clear the obstacles for him? Does my mother know?"
"Regardless of whether you gave birth to the child or not, I will not take a cent less of what is legally mine. You gave birth to me, so this is what you deserve."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Song Qixing shouted, "Where did I get my illegitimate child?"
"You know whether it happened or not, I don't care." She looked at the rage on Song Qixing's face with a calm expression, "Very angry? It's a pity that I'm grown up now. You can no longer just lock me up in some damn place for half a month."
When talking to him, Song Yu felt that even half a sentence was too much, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
"You're not going?" Song Qixing asked calmly, "That dumb kid you raised is going to take the college entrance exam tomorrow, right?"
Song Yu turned around and stared at him intently, "What are you going to do?"
"If you go, I won't do anything." Song Qixing narrowed his eyes threateningly and said, "If you don't go, I can't guarantee what I will do. She has her own family and should be raised by her family. You have no right to meddle in other people's affairs."
Song Yu gritted his teeth and said, "If you do anything to her, I will not let you go."
"Let's go. Don't keep the guests waiting for too long." Song Qixing opened the car door and got in first.
"......" Song Yu gritted his teeth and finally got into the car.
The two of them arrived at the place quickly. The doorman came to open the door and welcomed them into the box. There were already four or five people inside. They started greeting each other as soon as they entered.
Someone noticed Song Yu standing behind Song Qixing, raised his finger and pointed at her and said, "Boss Song, this is your daughter, she really is as beautiful as Boss Song's wife."
"Yes, she doesn't often come out with me." Song Qixing smiled, then stepped aside and pushed Song Yu from behind, "Xiaoyu, call me uncle."
Song Yu suppressed the nausea of having her body touched. She took a step forward to avoid Song Qixing's action and called out with a forced smile, "Hello, uncle."
"Okay, okay, come on, everyone, sit down, don't stand."
Song Yu didn't know what kind of party this was, nor did she care. Since Song Qixing wanted her to come, she would come and leave after dinner. She wouldn't say anything extra.
About ten minutes later, the door of the box was opened again. A smart-looking woman dressed smartly came in, accompanied by a boy about the same age as Song Yu.
Seeing this combination, Song Yu realized that this might be Mr. Li from Huguang Group and her son that Song Qixing mentioned. Seeing this, others stood up to greet them. Song Yu was a little slow and was glared at by Song Qixing.
"Mr. Li, please take a seat quickly. This seat is reserved for you." It can be seen that this woman is probably the object of flattery in the entire party. As soon as she appeared, others began to show their courtesy to her.
Everyone else was standing, and Song Yu had no way to sit down. This was why she hated attending this kind of dinner the most. She had to look at other people's faces and do things the whole time, and she couldn't even eat her meal happily.
It was obvious that Ms. Li was looking for something when she arrived. She glanced around the entire place until her eyes fell on Song Yu. She then gestured to Song Qixing with satisfaction, "Old Song, this must be your daughter, right? She's really pretty, no wonder..."
"Hello, Mr. Li." Song Yu greeted.
"Don't call me that. It seems distant. Your father and I have a long-term cooperative relationship. You can just call me Auntie." Ms. Li looked very gentle. Then she said to Song Yu, "This is my son Li Mi. You are all young people. You can communicate more often on weekdays. He goes to the school next door to you, not far away."
Li Mi looks very ordinary, but he exudes the aura of a wealthy man from head to toe. It can be seen that he has dressed up carefully. He sits very close to Song Yu, and the scent of his perfume drifts into her nose, making her want to vomit uncontrollably. But this man is very tactless.
"Hello, my name is Li Mi." He came closer with what he thought was an intoxicating smile on his face.
As he got closer, the scent of perfume became stronger. Song Yu deliberately slowed down his breathing, his face expressionless, "Hello."
"Can I add your contact information?" He took out his cell phone and a beautiful woman in revealing clothes flashed across the screen.
Song Yu frowned and tilted his body. "Sorry, my phone is out of battery and I can't add you."
"Uh, give me a call. I'll add you as my friend. Please agree to it when you get back." Li Mi said immediately, "Are you free this weekend? I know a great restaurant nearby. I'd like to take you there."
Song Yu knew that Song Qixing had noticed this and even noticed her non-cooperation, so she turned her head frequently to warn her with her eyes.
"......" Song Yu stood up, suppressing his nausea, "Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."
There were hotel staff guarding outside the box. The bathroom was around the corner. She went in and washed her hands quickly. The bright light in the bathroom made the mirror very clear. Song Yu stared at herself in the mirror for a while with no expression on her face, then lowered her head and supported her hands on the sink. She took a slow, deep breath and endured it.
She found a balcony and planned to stay there for a while until the dinner was about to end before going in. It was a high-rise building and the wind was very strong, but the night view was incomparably beautiful. She stood on the balcony, holding the railing with both hands. The cool night wind made her originally chaotic mind a little clearer. There was a sofa on the balcony for guests to rest. She sat on it and set an alarm for twenty minutes.
But before the time was half over, it was abruptly interrupted. The balcony door was suddenly pushed open, and a harsh and unpleasant creaking sound rang in my ears along with an annoying voice. "So you were hiding here? Why didn't you come in? I've been looking for you for a long time."
Li Mi smiled and turned around to close the balcony door. He walked over and seemed to be planning to sit with Song Yu.
Seeing him close the door, Song Yu turned her head to glance at the staff standing not far away. Her alertness, which had instantly increased, relaxed a little. She stood up and said, "I feel a little dizzy. It's too stuffy in the box. I'm going back now. Please do as you please."
Then she was about to walk past Li Mi, but the moment she passed by, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist with force, and a frivolous voice rang out, "Don't go, stay and chat with me for a while."
Song Yu subconsciously shook it off, and then a huge feeling of nausea and anger surged into his heart.
"Pa!" She slapped Li Mi hard with her backhand. Everything happened so fast that Li Mi bent down and covered his face in disbelief.
The anger that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupted at this moment. Song Yu cursed viciously, "You pervert, you bastard, why don't you just die if you like to touch me so much? Get away!"
After saying that, Song Yu strode out of the scene. The hotel's balcony door might have been well soundproofed. After she left the balcony, the staff nearby greeted her one after another. She pressed the elevator and left the hotel directly.
Filled with anger, she walked alone on the street for ten minutes. When she was tired, she sat on the curb alone. Song Qixing called her many times. She clicked her tongue, glanced at him, and hung up. Finally, she looked at the screen that lit up from time to time, turned off the phone, and threw it away. She didn't want to do anything now. She just wanted to lie on the ground with an empty mind.
All kinds of car lights flashed before her. Song Yu stared blankly at the rough ground. After a while, she turned over and sat up, picked up her cell phone and blew off the dust on it, then took a taxi back to where she lived.
Passing by the community's playground, she went to sit on the swing for a while, grabbing the two ropes beside her with her thin white arms and trying to swing herself up, but she was really bored. After swinging for a while, she felt bored too. She just propped up her legs casually, kicking them from time to time as if she were resurrected.
A message popped up on her phone, saying that Song Qixing had frozen all her cards. Song Yu took a look and sneered. After all these years, he still only knew this trick. It was really old-fashioned.
She should have learned not to have any expectations of them during the half month she was locked up in the sanatorium. What a pity! People are just mean. Once the scar heals, they forget the pain.
That half month could not be considered abuse, it was just deprivation of her freedom for half a month. She was guarded like a prisoner. Although she had companions in the sanatorium, she still lived in extreme pain.
Perhaps it was because she was thinking of this experience that a person who had not appeared in her mind for a long time suddenly flashed in her mind. His face was wrapped in circles of white gauze, and he looked even worse than her. She looked at the dark sky while she was in a daze, and she didn't know what happened to the child.
