Chapter 180
Xiaoyu was admitted early and did not need to take the high school entrance examination, so she decided to have the surgery in advance so that she would have more time to recover and adapt before entering high school.
On the day of the operation, Jiang Zhinian changed classes and came to the hospital. As Xiaoyu's family member, he accompanied the director's mother and waited outside the operating room.
"Thanks to your persuasion, he finally signed up for No. 1 Middle School."
"In fact, Xiaoyu is willing to go to No. 1 Middle School because he has good grades and won a national award." She simply let the leaders of No. 1 Middle School know the reason why Xiaoyu gave up No. 1 Middle School through a senior student from the university, and then applied for a scholarship for him, so that he had no reason to give up No. 1 Middle School.
The director's mother's eyes shifted to Jiang Zhinian's belly and said with a loving smile, "It's almost time to give birth."
Jiang Zhinian touched her belly and smiled shyly.
The director's mother sighed, "When I first found you, you were so small, like a cat. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to grow up..."
Perhaps because this topic inevitably brought up Mrs. Sun, the director's mother's expression was a little embarrassed.
"After your conversation with...Mrs. Sun, have you kept in touch since then?"
Jiang Zhinian shook his head.
The director's mother sighed, "Come to think of it, I'm the one who's sorry for you... When Miaomiao was adopted, she found me and told me her identity. However, she was penniless at the time and couldn't afford to raise you. She asked me to give her some more time, saying she'd make enough money soon and come back to take you. I believed her, and selfishly kept you..."
This version of the reason was the first time Jiang Zhinian heard it, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"But later, she really did become a wealthy man's wife, but she had too many more concerns, and things dragged on year after year... I really regret it now. If you had been adopted..."
"Dean Mom, don't be sad, I don't blame you." In this world, everything that happens is like a butterfly flapping its wings. Maybe she will live a better life if she is adopted, but she may also encounter other bad things.
We cannot assume that things that did not happen would have been better and continue to regret them.
The director's mother looked at the time and said to Jiang Zhinian, "The operation will probably take another two hours. Go eat first and I'll take over later."
Jiang Zhinian nodded and called Shi Ye, but no one answered.
Are you busy? Or did you miss the call?
Jiang Zhinian was not sure whether she should go to eat first. If it were in the past, she could just go to the cafeteria to eat by herself, but recently... she always felt that the relationship between her and Shi Ye had become a little awkward.
Especially at night when going to bed, Shi Ye used to always lie on his side and hold her in his arms, but recently, he would lean against the head of the bed and read until very late until she fell asleep.
Ever since that rejection, Shi Ye seemed to have suddenly lost some interest in her.
She knew that there was a problem between them, but she didn't know where the problem was or how to solve it. She could only bury her head in the sand like an ostrich, deceiving herself, as if as long as she couldn't see it, it didn't happen.
After much hesitation, Jiang Zhinian decided to follow her heart - she wanted to have lunch with Shi Ye.
Considering that the lounge that Shi Ye had taken her to was very close to here, Jiang Zhinian thought about it and decided to go there to ask. If Shi Ye was in the operating room, she would go eat by herself.
When she arrived near the lounge, a nurse who knew her greeted her and told her that Shi Ye had already left the operating room and was probably taking a shower. She asked her to wait and he should be back soon.
Jiang Zhinian thanked him and found a place to sit in the lounge. He was thinking about whether he should send a message to Shi Ye to tell him that he was waiting for him in the lounge. When he looked up, he saw Liu Ziming walking in.
His face looked very bad, and his spirits were also very low. When he glanced at Jiang Zhinian, there seemed to be some inexplicable resentment in his eyes.
Jiang Zhinian ignored him and continued to send messages. Liu Ziming suddenly said in a sarcastic tone: "Are you waiting for Shi Ye?"
Jiang Zhinian looked at him and said nothing.
"I just saw him walking towards the stairs. You can still catch up with him if you chase him now."
Jiang Zhinian was skeptical and didn't move.
"Why, don't you believe me? What good would it do me to lie to you about this? Just go and see for yourself and you'll know."
That's right, it's not far from here to the stairs, there's no point in lying to himself. Jiang Zhinian stood up and left the room, came to the door of the stairwell on this floor, pushed the door open and was about to go downstairs, he saw Feng Peipei standing there with her arms folded on her chest on the floor below, and opposite her was Shi Ye.
"If you don't agree to what I just said, I will post your secrets on the Internet."
Shi Ye took out his phone and checked the time, then said impatiently, "Whatever you want."
After saying that, he left.
Feng Peipei said in disbelief: "I don't believe it. You really don't care. If you really weren't afraid of being found out, you wouldn't have been threatened by me and attended my birthday party."
Shi Ye thought of that birthday party and suddenly stopped, turning to look at Feng Peipei: "It's a bit troublesome if others find out, but it doesn't matter."
He was never afraid of people knowing that he had mild Asperger's. It was just Ms. Shi Mei's last wish that he could hide among ordinary people. He believed that less trouble is worse than more and there would be no loss in going. That was why he went to Feng Peipei's birthday party that time.
But that doesn't mean he would be willing to accept "threats" and compromise on things he doesn't want to do. Going against his conscience is not his principle, especially the request made by Feng Peipei, which is simply unbelievable.
Seeing that Shi Ye didn't seem threatened at all by her, Feng Peipei sneered, "What about Jiang Zhinian? Does it matter if she finds out?"
Shi Ye's fingers gripping the armrest exerted a little force, turning bluish-white.
Feng Peipei was a little proud: "I knew that Jiang Zhinian is still a little attractive. Even a freak like you who can't feel emotions would be attracted to her. What do you think? Doesn't she have a great figure? It's a pity that she has lacked love since she was a child. If she knew that the husband she cared about the most didn't love her at all, how sad would she be..."
Feng Peipei stepped forward, reaching out to Shi Ye and gently placing her hand on his back: "Actually... I still like you very much... You won't suffer any loss if you hype up a relationship with me online. We can make money together. Besides, Jiang Zhinian and I are like sisters, she definitely won't mind..."
Jiang Zhinian didn't want to hear others call Shi Ye a "monster" and was about to speak out to stop Shi Ye from compromising, but Shi Ye suddenly sneered, slowly turned around, and looked at Feng Peipei with a gloomy expression: "You can try and see if people believe what you, a person diagnosed with schizophrenia, say, or whether people believe what I say more."
