Chapter 73 Someone is following you
I found a piece of white paper, wrapped the pills, and put them in my bag. I looked at the time and it was only five o'clock in the afternoon. No, I had to go to the hospital to confirm what kind of medicine this was and why it was replaced.
When I went downstairs, Aunt Liu had just finished cooking and came out of the kitchen, so it was time for me to eat.
"Auntie Liu, I'm going to go out for a while and come back for dinner later."
Aunt Liu asked me if something happened.
"Your leg is still injured, so you'd better not go out."
I turned to look at Aunt Liu and told her not to worry, I would take a taxi and go out for a while and would be back soon.
I limped and stood on the roadside, waiting for the bus. It was rush hour and it was really hard to get a taxi. After a while, a private car stopped in front of me. I looked up and saw that it was Jiang Yichen, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
At this moment, Jiang Yichen was wearing a white down jacket and had her curly hair straightened. She looked particularly ladylike. She smiled at me and asked me where I was going.
"Hospital."
"Come up, I'll take you."
I glanced at Jiang Yichen and indeed felt that she had changed a lot from before, so I opened the car door and got in.
After getting in the car, Jiang Yichen told me that when I had a miscarriage, my grandfather was so angry that he became sick, so Wang Chuan asked her to go back to the Jiang family's old house to take care of him for a few days.
"You don't know, grandpa has been in a bad mood these days, and he keeps muttering that his grandson is gone again." Jiang Yichen turned his head and glanced at me.
Whenever I mentioned that child, I felt extremely sad. Thinking that my child might have been killed by someone, my hands clenched into fists.
Jiang Yichen sighed and said that she thought Jiang Ruohe and I would end up together, but she didn't expect that because of this incident, we would become enemies again.
"I even persuaded my brother and analyzed the reasons why you refused to tell him. After all, you suffered so much in our Jiang family at that time, and you were about to get divorced. If I were you, I would not tell him about the pregnancy."
"I wanted you two to untie your knot, but I don't know what my brother thinks. He got angry when I mentioned this. Before I could even say a few words, he kicked me out of his room. He's pissed me off."
"What's even more infuriating is that he actually moved out."
I looked up at Jiang Yichen and casually asked where Jiang Ruohe had moved to.
"I didn't ask about that. Anyway, I come back to see grandpa during the day and I'm never home at night."
Jiang Yichen glanced at me cautiously and whispered that it was very likely that he had moved to Caiqing's place. After all, my affairs had stimulated Jiang Ruohe, causing Jiang Ruohe to accept Caiqing directly.
I lowered my eyes dejectedly, feeling very bitter in my heart.
Jiang Yichen looked at me again.
"Xiao Wan, I think if you're interested in my brother, you should tell him. Maybe he knows you like him, and maybe the two of you can still be together."
"In the end, it's also a bit my fault. I was so ignorant back then, targeting you everywhere, and I believed Huang Minwei's words. I said a lot of bad things about you in front of my brother. After being tortured by my father for so long, I suddenly realized how ridiculous my life was before."
"Xiao Wan, I really hope you can be with my brother now." Jiang Yichen glanced at me.
A bitter smile flashed across my eyes, and I shook my head, saying that Jiang Ruohe and I were a thing of the past.
"Look, your brother and Caiqing are together now, aren't they doing well? Am I doing well too?"
I turned my head and looked out the window. Since he had already accepted Cai Qing, I couldn't bother him anymore. Fortunately, I had just discovered that I liked him. After a while, this feeling would slowly fade away. I could also devote myself to my new life.
Jiang Yichen sighed again when he saw me like this.
"Well, I won't force it. Sister Caiqing is not bad either, but her brother..."
I turned to look at Jiang Yichen in confusion and asked what was wrong with Mu Yan.
"Let me tell you, Mu Yan treats his sister very well. When we were kids, I accidentally tripped Sister Cai Qing while playing. Guess how her brother treated me?"
Jiang Yichen said that at that time, she really tripped Cai Qing accidentally and it was absolutely not intentional. As a result, Mu Yan caught two snakes to scare Jiang Yichen, which made her cry for a long time.
"Ever since then, Sister Caiqing's brother has always had a problem with me. Whenever he brings Caiqing to play with my brother, he'll always be nervous and guard Sister Caiqing's side, wary of me."
"Ever since then, I've been afraid of him, especially after he became a doctor. So every time I see Sister Caiqing, I stay away from her..."
I smiled and said that Mu Yan did this only because he loved his sister Caiqing. What's more, Jiang Yichen's previous personality made people a little wary.
"This is too much love! If Sister Caiqing enters our Jiang family in the future, and if she has a conflict with my brother or suffers some injustice, will her brother, out of his love for her, vent his anger on her behalf and punish my brother too?"
Jiang Yichen noticed my expression and quickly said that no one could predict what would happen in the future and asked me not to take it too seriously.
I shook my head and said it was okay.
Jiang Yichen sent me to the hospital and left first, saying that he had something to do and would treat me to a meal when he was free. Looking at Jiang Yichen driving away, I couldn't help but sigh that it is very difficult to judge whether a person is good or bad in this world.
The person I once thought was a bad guy has now become a friend, and the sisterhood I thought of before has become an enemy. It feels a bit ironic. A bitter smile flashed across her eyes, and she turned and went into the hospital.
When I entered Mu Yan's office, Mu Yan had just taken off his white coat. It seemed that he was about to get off work. Mu Yan looked at me with some more doubt in his eyes.
"Didn't he get discharged two hours later? Did the wound get inflamed again?"
I shook my head, walked in, opened my bag, opened the white paper wrapped around the pills, and placed the pills on Mu Yan's desk. A strange look flashed across Mu Yan's eyes, and he looked up at me and asked me what was going on with the pills.
"Help me see what medicine this is?"
Mu Yan sat down, picked up the pill with a pair of tongs, and looked at it carefully.
"This is stomach medicine."
My heart completely sank and I looked up at Mu Yan.
"This is the medicine I took to maintain my pregnancy, how did it become stomach medicine?"
Mu Yan was stunned and asked me what was going on. I told Mu Yan about this. Mu Yan thought for a few seconds, looked up at me, and said that it seemed that someone had replaced my pregnancy-preserving medicine.
"This stomach medicine isn't an abortion pill, but if you take it every day, it could affect fetal development and even cause premature ejaculation. You have to think about who might have replaced it with this medicine."
I lowered my head and thought about it. Although I had made a few enemies, Tian Rong had no idea I was pregnant. Moreover, after I prepared the medicine, I took it home directly without letting Aunt Liu find out. Besides, even if Aunt Liu knew, she couldn't have been the one who changed the medicine.
I suddenly looked up at Mu Yan, which scared him.
"I suspect the medicine was replaced in the hospital. The doctor's assistant went downstairs to get the medicine, but she came back a long time later, saying that another doctor's assistant had taken leave and asked her to help save the patient. It seemed..."
I stared at Mu Yan. It seemed that the assistant was talking about Dr. Mu, wasn't he Mu Yan?
Mu Yan looked at me, without any emotion in his eyes.
"Is that Dr. Wang's assistant, Shasha? I had a patient the other day, and she asked Shasha to come over for help. At the time, Shasha and I were both in the treatment room cleaning the patient's wound, and the medicine she had in her hand was on my desk."
Mu Yan hurriedly made a phone call and called Shasha, who was the assistant who helped me get the medicine. Mu Yan asked Shasha to tell me what happened at that time.
"At that time, one of Doctor Mu's patients was injured, and it was quite serious. Later, he called me and asked me to help. I put the medicine on this desk and went into the treatment room with Doctor Mu. Later, Doctor Wang called me and I told her about the situation. After I was done, I took the medicine upstairs. Did something happen?" Shasha looked at me nervously.
Mu Yan shook his head and said it was okay, letting her go and do her work first.
Mu Yan looked up at me.
"If the dressing was changed in the hospital, it might have been changed when Shasha went in to help me. The person who changed the dressing must have been following you the whole time and knew you were pregnant, so they made preparations and found the right opportunity to change the dressing."
Mu Yan stood up and said, how about this, he would take me to the security department to adjust the surveillance, I looked up at him and asked him if it could be adjusted?
"Sure. I'm very familiar with the hospital's security captain. I'll call him and tell him about the situation. I'll ask him to first release the video footage from the corridor on this floor that day."
In front of me, Mu Yan called the head of the security team and told him the situation. After hanging up, he said he would take me there to see if he could find the suspect.
I said thank you to Mu Yan.
"What are you thanking me for? If the medicine was really changed in my office, I also have an unshirkable responsibility. It would have been much better if I hadn't asked Shasha to help me that day."
I looked at him and said that it was not his fault, nor Shasha's fault. After all, treating the patients was the most important thing.
"let's go."
Mu Yan took me downstairs to the monitoring room. The security captain retrieved all the surveillance footage on the floor where Mu Yan had his clinic that day and selected the time period when Mu Yan asked Shasha for help.
After a while, I saw a patient covered in blood enter Mu Yan's office. A few seconds later, Mu Yan hurried out and ran to the stairs. He saw Shasha getting medicine and preparing to go upstairs. He hurriedly called out to Shasha, who then followed Mu Yan into the office. Then, together they took the injured person to the treatment room across the street.
About five minutes later, two patients came to see Mu Yan. They stood at the door, saw that there was no one in the office, and went to the adjacent clinic. A few minutes later, she suddenly saw a familiar figure appear in the corridor. She walked quickly to the door of Mu Yan's office. Mu Yan was clearly in the treatment room with Shasha, but she still walked in. A minute later, she ran out nervously.
I froze in place, staring at the familiar figure on the surveillance camera. I couldn't believe it was Kailin. What was she doing in the hospital? There was no one in Mu Yan's office, so why did she go in?
Mu Yan looked at me and asked me if I wanted to call the police?
"What will happen if we call the police? Maybe she just came to see a doctor, and she just went into the office and waited for a while, but left when she didn't see the doctor coming. There is no surveillance video in your office. There is no direct evidence to prove that she replaced my medicine." I looked at Mu Yan in pain.
It's not that I believe Karen, but I called the police like this. There is no direct evidence at all. These can't prove that she changed the medicine. What if she doesn't admit it? Or maybe it wasn't her and it was just a coincidence.
Mu Yan asked me if I knew Kailin. I nodded and said we were from the same company. I was wondering if she thought I was pregnant with Xiao Shi's child at the time, so she changed the medicine.
But the last time Kailin came to see me, it was obvious that she knew that I was pregnant with Jiang Ruohe, or was she deliberately hiding it so that no one would find out?
Mu Yan said that it really couldn't be used as direct evidence because he remembered that once when Kailin injured her hand, he treated her.
"Because she's a foreign girl, I kept an eye on her. If I call the police, even if it's really her, she'll say she's here for a checkup."
Mu Yan asked me what to do about this matter. I thought about it and said that I should test Kailin first. Maybe I can find out something. If it is really her, I will naturally not let her go.
Mu Yan said yes.
"If you need any help, just tell me. I need to talk to Jiang Ruohe about this." After saying that, Mu Yan picked up his phone and called Jiang Ruohe.
In fact, at that time, I really hoped that Jiang Ruohe would know the truth. I was wondering if he would forgive me and work with me to find out the murderer if he knew that someone had killed my child.
When the call was connected and I heard Jiang Ruohe's voice, I was extremely nervous.
"Ruohe, let me tell you, Yu Xiaowan's miscarriage is..."
"Don't mention that disgusting woman to me. I'm done with her."
Jiang Ruohe interrupted Mu Yan, said a word, and then hung up the phone.
I don’t know how pale my face was at that time, but I was very sad. Mu Yan looked at me and didn’t know how to comfort me.
I looked up at Mu Yan and told him about the dressing change. I told him not to tell Jiang Ruohe about it anymore.
"Now that it's over, there's no need to know. This is my own business."
After all, he is already dating Caiqing now. Even if he cares about us, we won't be together.
"Let me take you back."
Sitting in Mu Yan's car, I looked at the scenery outside the window somewhat lonely, with mixed feelings in my heart.
After arriving home, Aunt Liu hurriedly helped me to heat up the dishes. Looking at Aunt Liu busy in the kitchen, I couldn't help it. I hugged Aunt Liu's back and cried sadly.
"Don't be sad, everything will be fine." Aunt Liu didn't ask me why I was crying, but just comforted me. After a while, I finally calmed down.
After resting at home for two days, I wanted to go to work, so I took the initiative to call Xiao Shi and asked, "Can I go to work?"
"You need to rest for a few more days. How about this, come to work at the beginning of the month."
There was silence between the two for a while, until the phone call, when I heard Karen calling him.
"It's settled. I have things to do. I'll come see you when I'm done."
Two days later, when I was out shopping alone, I ran into Kailin who was on vacation. In fact, I got Kailin's whereabouts from Yang Ru and deliberately met her.
Kailin saw me and came up to say hello.
"Are you free to have a drink together?" I looked up at her.
The two of us walked into a coffee shop. While drinking coffee, Karen looked at me and asked me what I wanted to talk to her about.
I put down my coffee and looked up at her.
"Well, I just wanted to ask you about Xiao Shi's preferences. After all, you've known him longer than I have."
Kailin's face darkened, and she put the coffee on the table, with a warning look in her eyes.
"Yu Xiaowan, you must have had a miscarriage and been dumped by Jiang Ruohe. You feel like you have no man to rely on, so you've fallen for Brother Xiao Shi, right?"
I hummed and said I had that thought. After all, Xiao Shi was very nice to me, so I wanted to consider it.
Kailin stood up from the sofa with a cold face and questioned me, saying that I had rejected Xiao Shi last time, so why didn't I keep my word.
I tilted my head and looked at Kailin and said that I refused at that time because I was pregnant, but now I don’t have the child.
"After all, I have to thank you." I smiled faintly.
"Yu Xiaowan, what do you mean?"
I stood up, walked to her side and looked at her coldly.
"Didn't you know I was pregnant a long time ago? You even sneaked into the doctor's office to check my pregnancy-preserving medication? And then you even changed..."
There was some panic in Kailin's eyes. Before I could finish my words, she reached out and took the coffee on her table and splashed it on my face, saying that I was slandering her and left.
The waiter hurriedly brought me tissues. I looked at Kailin's leaving figure with complicated feelings. At first, I was still unwilling to believe it, because she liked Xiao Shi, so she should be happy when I was pregnant with Jiang Ruohe's child. In this way, Jiang Ruohe and I could be entangled again, and she would not accept Xiao Shi. But her panicked look just now showed that she was obviously guilty.
I sat on the sofa, thought for a while, and sent a text message to Xiaoyu, saying that it was most likely Kailin.
During these two days, Xiaoyu came to see me. Seeing that I was in a bad mood, she asked me what happened. I told Xiaoyu about changing the medicine and seeing Kailin on the surveillance camera. Xiaoyu said she didn't expect that my medicine would actually be changed.
Xiaoyu replied and said she would help me keep an eye on Kailin.
I paid the bill and left the cafe, wandering around the street feeling a bit irritated, thinking that if this person was Karen, I wouldn't let her go even if Xiao Shi was protecting her.
But I don't know why, I always feel that the person who changed the medicine is not like Kailin, because she doesn't have much motivation. If she likes Jiang Ruohe, it is definitely her, but she likes Xiao Shi.
While I was lost in thought, I actually saw Xiaoyu. She was talking on the phone with someone on the side of the road. I was about to go over and say hello to her, but I heard her voice.
"Sister Kailin, Yu Xiaowan already suspects you. You have to be careful and don't let her see any flaws."
I stood there in a daze. Xiaoyu hurried away after finishing the call and didn't notice me standing not far away.
I felt extremely upset. I always regarded Xiaoyu as a friend, but I didn't expect that she would betray me and take the opportunity to inform Kailin. I also didn't expect that the person who changed the medicine was really Kailin.
A bitter smile flashed across my eyes, and somehow, tears began to fall. Why would the person I trusted so much betray me? Why did I try so hard to find peace, but never had a moment of peace?
I casually walked into a bar and ordered a few drinks. Sometimes people are like this. When they want to get drunk, they just can't get drunk no matter how hard they try. Normally, one drink is enough for them, but after three drinks in a row, their minds are still so clear.
After all, I still felt that my health was the most important thing. After three drinks, I paid and stumbled out of the bar.
As I walked out of the bar, I bumped into a wall of flesh. I looked up and saw that it was Jiang Ruohe. Jiang Ruohe's face was emitting anger and he looked at me coldly.
She snorted in her heart and looked up at Jiang Ruohe with a red face.
"Are you going to say you saw a disgusting woman blocking your way again? It's okay, I'll let you go."
I moved aside, bent down and stretched out my hand.
"Mr. Jiang, please come in."
Jiang Ruohe's face was as dark as a mirror. I looked up at him and patted my chest.
"Boss Jiang, don't worry. From now on, wherever you appear, I, Yu Xiaowan, will never get in your way. Absolutely not."
I laughed and stopped looking at him. I walked out of the bar. After taking a few steps, someone grabbed my hand. I turned around and bumped into the person behind me. I looked up and saw it was Jiang Ruohe again.
I wanted to say something, but my stomach felt uncomfortable and I vomited out the wine I had drunk. After vomiting, Jiang Ruohe pulled me into the car. I lay on the back seat and looked at Jiang Ruohe who was driving with a cold face.
"Jiang Ruohe, I'm telling you, you don't need to worry about my affairs. Let me down right away."
Jiang Ruohe still ignored me.
"Aren't you in a relationship with Cai Qing? You're giving me your ex-wife now, aren't you afraid your girlfriend will be jealous?"
"I hate you. I hate you. You said you believed me, but you never believed me."
"You're blaming me for hiding the fact that I'm pregnant. I'm telling you, you have no right to do that. Do you know how desperate I was at that time? I conceived this child the night my father died. Shouldn't I be resentful? Besides, I'm about to get divorced. How could I possibly use a child to maintain a loveless marriage?"
As I spoke, tears began to fall and my head started to feel dizzy. I don’t know if it was because I was drunk, but I just wanted to tell this person what was in my heart. These words were suppressed in my heart and it was so painful.
"Even I didn't expect that I could fall in love with someone like you."
Jiang Ruohe suddenly slammed on the brakes and I fell off the back seat and lay on the car mat. I looked up at Jiang Ruohe in embarrassment, and Jiang Ruohe also looked up at me.
"Knowing you were standing under the window in the middle of the night, do you think I wouldn't be sad? Do you think I wouldn't feel heartbroken? Do you think I slept soundly upstairs? I didn't sleep in the second half of the night either..."
"When I drove to look for you, you were hugging Caiqing... My heart ached."
I covered my heart and told him that my heart hurt even more now. Not only did I not want to talk about love anymore, I didn't even need friendship, let alone family love.
"I just don't understand why every time I'm genuinely nice to someone, they come and hurt me, stabbing my heart with a knife, one after another. When one leaves, another comes, always leaving me completely broken."
Jiang Ruohe got out of the car, opened the door, pulled me up, and sat back in the back seat. He put his arm around my waist and sat next to me. I tilted my head and looked at him with red eyes. He suddenly bit my left cheek.
I don’t know if it was because of the alcohol, but after he bit me, I fell asleep and only heard someone talking in my ear.
When I woke up, I was in my own bed with a terrible headache. When Aunt Liu saw me wake up, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Wan, you haven't recovered yet, why are you drinking?"
I thought about what happened before I drank, looked up at Aunt Liu, and asked who sent me back.
"Someone at the bar called me and asked for my address, and found a kind taxi to take you back."
I looked at Liu Ma in confusion and said, "That's not right. I remember I clearly saw Jiang Ruohe."
"How is that possible? I spoke to the master on the phone, and the young master went to North City today. Xiaowan, I think you miss our young master."
"They say drunk people tend to hallucinate, and it turns out it's true."
After saying this, Aunt Liu went out to make soup for me.
I stroked my face, wondering if I was really hallucinating. Could it be true? He hated me so much, how could he appear in my sight again?
The next morning, I went out early, thinking about how to deal with Kailin. Suddenly, my phone rang. It was a text message from a stranger.
"Someone's following you."
I hurriedly turned around and saw a man following me not far behind. When he saw me turning around, he hurriedly stopped and pretended to look at the opposite side. It really felt a bit suspicious.
