Chapter 17 17. A rebellious son interferes with someone else's family? (Xiao Xiu)...
The group returned to Zhongshan Villa in a mighty procession. When they arrived at the door, Ye Qionghua lifted up Mi Yanyan's arm, and she quickly replied, "Mom, it's okay, I can walk by myself." The wound on her foot was basically healed, and the tender flesh was pulling on the skin, so it would be fine if she walked carefully.
Ye Qionghua didn't listen and held her arm, which was more delicate than a national treasure. "The wound is too deep and hasn't healed yet. Don't take it lightly." There was worry in her brows, and Mi Yanyan couldn't help feeling guilty.
It's unfair that she has such a good mother-in-law, but her sincerity has to be exchanged for her selfish marriage.
Shi Jingzhou walked out from the passenger seat and walked in front of them. He leaned forward slightly and put his arms around Mi Yanyan's waist. With his hands, he easily lifted her up and held her in the air. She subconsciously hugged her neck and felt her cold skin.
She had done this action so many times in the hospital that she had given up resisting and adjusted herself to a comfortable position with considerable experience.
Ye Qionghua glanced at Shi Ting, and a smile of relief appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Aunt Chen came out with the two little ones following behind her.
Mi Yanyan hadn't been seen for a long time, and she was even stunned for a few seconds. After she came to her senses, Peanut pounced on her and rushed over.
Shi Jingzhou held the person in his arms with one hand, while using his trouser legs to block the dog's sturdy paws. Several paw prints were left on his black trousers. She turned her head in panic and scolded him, "Stop scratching! Sit still."
Shi Jingzhou gently pressed her back and said, "Don't move. If you fall, you'll have to go back to the hospital."
He frowned slightly, and she leaned over obediently. There is no filial son by the bedside of a patient for a long time, let alone a rebellious son like her husband. Staying in the hospital for a week has become a burden.
"Let me down." After crossing two steps, there was no obstacle anymore. It was time to be self-reliant so as not to be despised.
"Yeah." The strength in her waist loosened and her feet landed lightly on the ground. Shi Jingzhou wanted to pull her, but he pulled her in vain, leaving her with only a limp and stubborn head.
Laughter came from the kitchen. As soon as Ye Qionghua came back, she started working with Aunt Chen. Shi Ting took Huashengmi for a walk outside. She wanted to go upstairs, but felt it was inappropriate, so she moved back to the sofa and sat in a corner.
The house was legally hers, but the home was not.
He rubbed his wrists on the sofa, but there was nothing he could play with. So he took out his cell phone, opened the dialog box, and changed the name of the note halfway through.
Yu Wan received a voice call, she covered the receiver and turned her head to answer it.
"I entered the residential complex. I circled around twice but couldn't find it. Now I'm turning back to the city."
The last time she came here was late at night and Mi Yanyan showed her the way. Zhongshan Villa is large and has lush greenery, so she can no longer rely on her memory to navigate today.
"Wait a minute, let me think about it." After hearing the place described by Yu Wan, she was also puzzled. She had only taken the same road back and forth, and now she had no idea how to give directions. With a slump in her shoulders, she faced Shi Jingzhou.
"I'll go get it." He said and stretched out his hand. He had changed into new clothes, which were clean and neat. It was hard to tell whether it was because the clothes were stained with the smell of hospital disinfectant or because they were scratched by Peanut and had a few hairs stuck on them.
That's normal, he's a germaphobe.
The other end of the phone repeatedly rang with warnings of deviation, Yu Wan sounding a little anxious. Mi Yanyan quickly retracted her gaze, handed the phone to Shi Jingzhou, and said one last thing: "Wanwan, don't worry, let me..."
The two words he wanted to say were urgently withdrawn from his mouth, and his tongue, cut off from the air, hid between his closed teeth as quickly as possible.
"Let Shi Jingzhou pick you up."
The phone had been taken away. She held her neck to finish her words, her breath weak and trembling as she avoided looking at him. Unexpectedly, Shi Jingzhou supported himself on the leather armrest with one hand, immediately tilted his head with a look of curiosity, and deliberately asked her, "What did you want to say just now?"
"I'd like to ask our dog to show the way. Peanut is a patrol dog, so a round trip to the community gate is more than enough for him."
She argued convincingly, but unfortunately Shi Jingzhou didn't listen to the end of her words and strode out with his phone in hand.
The man disappeared in the yard, and she pouted and clapped her hands twice in annoyance.
Along the way, Ye Qionghua scolded her son and her husband, saying all the good and bad things about him. She never thought that what she heard would come out of her mouth casually.
Not long after, Yu Wan ran home happily. He wanted to hug her but didn't dare to, for fear of hurting her again.
Shi Jingzhou followed in slowly, glanced in the direction of the two of them, and left quickly. It was not until lunchtime that she remembered that she had not yet taken her cell phone back.
It was a rare occasion for so many people to gather together for a meal. On her left was Yu Wan, and on her right was Shi Jingzhou, facing her parents-in-law. Aunt Chen was taking out a small notebook from her apron pocket and flipping through it for Ye Qionghua to see. It contained all the food supplement recipes she had recorded, including which ones she had tried and which ones were still to be decided. The ones circled in red were the ones that the young couple didn't like, and they were discussing how to improve them.
"Cellphone." Mi Yanyan said briefly and asked Shi Jingzhou to return the item to its rightful owner.
Shi Jingzhou paused for a moment with his chopsticks and then retracted them. He tilted his head as if there was something more important that needed to be confirmed, and asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I am a rebellious son?"
“…”
The dinner table suddenly became quiet. Upon hearing this, the soup in Mi Yanyan's mouth was only a fraction of a second away from spurting out, and her fair cheeks quickly turned red. Shi Jingzhou looked at her panic and felt that she was funny and beautiful.
After swallowing her food, Mi Yanyan looked up, and with extremely subtle lip movements, she asked in a vague, low voice, "Why are you peeking at my phone?"
"I was scanned by the voice chat, don't change the subject."
"Don't look at anything inappropriate, understand?"
Shi Jingzhou snorted softly and replied, "You are still polite."
He pulled his phone out of his pocket and beckoned her with his index finger. Mi Yanyan shifted an inch in her dining chair, and the person next to her leaned over, lowering his head close to her ear.
Yu Wan took a quick glance and saw that the two were whispering to each other while eating, so she turned away in disgust.
The warm breath briefly rested on the neck, and the low voice was almost only heard by the two of them.
"The rebellious son is not as well-behaved as me."
His tone was slow, and every word was full of hidden meaning. After he finished speaking, he stepped back and slapped the phone on her palm. The oppressive feeling made her wrist sink, and her heart almost stopped.
He wanted to pull his hand away but found that the other party didn't loosen his strength at all, so Mi Yanyan winked at him.
"Right away, I'll change it back right away." She admitted her mistake and pretended to be good. She obviously just wanted to satisfy her desire in an unknown corner, but he caught her in the act by chance.
Shi Jingzhou let go quietly and continued to eat his meal with his expression as usual.
Ye Qionghua, who was watching the show opposite, could no longer sit still. She asked Aunt Chen to open the notebook and marked the page that had been crossed out with a red tick again. After finishing writing, she still felt unsatisfied, so she drew three consecutive five-pointed stars to show her appreciation.
After dinner, Yu Wan helped Mi Yanyan back to the bedroom. She had just returned from a business trip and didn't make it to the hospital to visit her, so she went straight home after getting off the high-speed train.
When I arrived, my family escorted my best friend back. After holding it in for the whole meal, we finally found a place where no one was around to talk.
Yu Wan was most concerned about the progress of their married life, and almost asked directly, "Have you done it?"
"...No, it hasn't come to that." Mi Yanyan said honestly.
Yu Wan suddenly felt that the cherry tomatoes in her mouth were no longer sweet. Her ideas were very straightforward. Marry first, fall in love later was almost simplified for her.
Get married first, have sex later; inspect the goods before the sky falls.
Since it was about their current happiness, she tried to persuade him again, "Shi Jingzhou is a high-quality, single young man in Nancheng. He only attracts wealthy women and highly educated women. You have the upper hand in both. There's no need to feel so burdened. Use your money first."
She was told some shameless dirty talk in a very logical way, and Mi Yanyan replied coquettishly, "Where did you hear such a perverse thing?"
"It's widely rumored in the industry that Shi Jingzhou is the next successor to Ruisi, and many beautiful women are vying to be the first to enter the Shi family's door. Unfortunately, your husband politely declined."
It's strange that such an arrogant and difficult man would get married just like that.
Yu Wan's gaze returned to the person in front of him. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and a well-proportioned figure. She had everything she should have, except for her extremely thin waist. Her figure was round and plump. She had European proportions and a Chinese-style rich complexion. As a woman, she was so attractive that it was normal for Shi Jingzhou to be unable to resist.
"Yan Yan, don't tell me, Shi Jingzhou's family treats you very well." After getting to know them, she found that the Shi family's attitude and behavior were indeed very different from what she had imagined. They were completely without the domineering and unkindness of a large family. "I just peeked and saw that his mother had prepared a lot of food tonic recipes."
"Well, Shi Jingzhou's mother is a Chinese medicine practitioner."
"This recipe is very nourishing, you understand?" Yu Wan heard Aunt Chen pondering those words quietly. Most of the key words were sensitive. She asked tentatively with some uncertainty, "What are your plans for the future? A family like the Shi family probably has expectations for the next generation."
Yu Wan didn't understand how the married couple got along, but she thought her friends' married life would be peaceful and happy, with no emotional or conflicts, and it was not impossible for them to have a child step by step.
She didn't know that they were still some distance away from each other when they reached that step, so they sat on the carpet and waited for an answer.
"I have no feelings for him, it's too early to talk about this now," said Mi Yanyan.
It was a very illusory marriage, and having children was even more out of reach. She had never thought about having a new life with anyone in her life. She did not know the full extent of her parents' love, and did not know how to give it.
Shi Jingzhou's bent fingers fell before knocking on the door and silently hung to the side of his body.
The lights in the corridor lit up when they sensed someone coming, and then went out when no one was around. He walked into the kitchen, picked up two bowls of medicinal soup on the thermos tray, put them to his nose and smelled them, and soon frowned.
It's too bitter, so I'd rather not drink it.
It was immediately poured into the pool, and the space was suddenly filled with a sour smell.
It was already evening when Yu Wan left. Shi Jingzhou rarely left Aunt Chen to take care of Mi Yanyan. After washing up, she passed by the study. The light was still on inside, and intermittent sounds of a meeting could be heard.
Having stayed in the hospital for more than a week, there must have been a lot of backlog work.
She leaned lazily on the edge of the bed and found that the emergency contact column had been replaced with Shi Jingzhou's phone number at some point.
There is a 50% chance that Secretary Zhou will answer the phone when you call him. Changing this contact person doesn't make much sense. Click on the number and look at the string of numbers. The number comes to mind easily. After reading it twice and trying to remember it, you will still get one or two digits wrong.
She slept soundly until just after midnight. She touched the bed beside her and opened her eyes to find it was still the same, without a single wrinkle. The habits she had developed in the hospital seemed to have remained in the ward, gone once she returned home.
She turned over so that she was no longer facing the empty half, grabbed the cup and wrapped it tightly around her, and soon fell asleep.
For a week, Shi Jingzhou did not show up at home.
She checked her schedule and found that he had changed his job in Nancheng and decided to go to the laboratory on the spur of the moment. A strange sense of loss passed through her heart, and sensitive emotions appeared from time to time. She calmed down and thought.
It must be because he rested for too long and was idle.
Holding on to the front counter, I bent over and twisted my ankle a few times. I didn't feel anything unusual and finally recovered completely.
The arm he was supporting was pulled into the arms of the person next to him, and his head was placed on his shoulder affectionately. Sun Siyuan sighed with envy: "The director is so kind. Not only did he help you cover the shift, he also asked us not to schedule a long operation for you. You are so lucky, Sister Yan."
During her sick leave, Xu Chang took the initiative to take over all her work, taking over and performing surgeries simultaneously, so you can imagine how busy he was. Now that he's back on duty, he's even helping her keep track of her surgery schedule. She's grateful but also burdened, thankfully, everything is back on track and she no longer has to cause trouble for others.
"I'm fine now. I can have the surgery tomorrow," she vowed.
"Don't, the dean will say I'm inconsiderate of the founder. Don't rush. We can handle it."
After saying that, he ran back to the front desk with a smile to answer the phone, and when he had some free time, he started thinking about it again.
During Mi Yanyan's long vacation this time, she figured out something.
Xu Chang is a very good man, but he is especially good to Sister Yan.
Seeing is believing, but the silent dedication makes people dare not speak out. After all, Sister Yan is married. No matter how good the dean is, she has no status. Is she so attentive because she wants to...
Interfering in other people’s families???
Her expression became more and more solemn. She felt at a disadvantage no matter who she chose, handsome and uninhibited or gentle and warm.
To be honest, we have to have the best of everything.
He raised his chin and looked back at the clinic. Xu Chang just pushed the door open and walked in, asking about his recovery in a familiar tone.
Judging from his attire, he must have just come here from the operating table.
Something is wrong.
Mi Yanyan wanted to stand up through the glass door, but she probably didn't stand firmly because she moved too fast, so Xu Chang quickly helped her up.
Her heart began to pound.
Too exciting, do you really want them all?
