Chapter 103 Bankruptcy
Chu Zhen shouldn't be someone who's only interested in looks, right? I thought to myself. If looks were everything, Amy would have won him over long ago. I reassured myself as I arrived at the ward. The door was open, and I could hear a woman's voice inside.
"Mr. Chu, you must be careful recently. The wound must not get wet, and you must not do any strenuous exercise. If you need anything, just press the call button, and I will come as soon as possible."
I stood to the side of the doorway; this little nurse really wouldn't give up.
I didn't hear Chu Zhen's voice for a while, so I peeked out. This guy was really obedient, maintaining the indifferent look I had when I left. The nurse, not getting a response, also got a little bored and went out.
"What are you doing here? Patients shouldn't be wandering around." The nurse came out and saw me, her expression immediately changing.
"I went to the director to change my dressing." I smiled at the girl in front of me. She was a very pretty girl, so why did her values seem so warped?
"You can change your dressing at the nurses' station. I'll change it for you next time."
Okay, thank you~
I slipped into the ward, saying, "Honey, I'm back~" Even I felt nauseous saying that. Chu Zhen, lying on the bed, stared at me in surprise. When he glanced outside the door, he understood what I meant and replied, "My dear wife, come here quickly, let your husband see your face~"
"Chu Zhen, didn't I say I'd bring you the thermometer when I got back? Did you take it yourself or did she take it?" I asked sternly as the nurse walked away.
"The difference between the two is too big. If you ask me the same question in the same tone you just used, I will answer you."
"I think you've gone too far. Take off your clothes."
"What are you doing? It's broad daylight, and we're still in the hospital, isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Chu Zhen said, feigning coyness, but his eyes betrayed his lust. "Go and close the door!"
"What do you mean 'close'? Did that nurse touch your clothes just now? Change them." I said angrily. I'm not a petty person, but thinking about the nurses' conversation earlier, and seeing my face when the doctor changed my dressing, even I, who am usually confident, started to feel inferior.
"Oh, then you don't need to take it off. I just put the thermometer on the table. Or you can change the table?" Chu Zhen gently pulled me into his arms. "My Dang'er is just like a little wildcat when she gets jealous."
"Yes, I am a stray cat. Be careful, if you do anything wrong, I will definitely scratch you until you are covered in wounds."
Chu Zhen couldn't understand my feelings at this moment. Originally, we stood side by side, and we were always recognized as a perfect match. Although Chu Zhen was no longer the handsome young man he once was, he was still a dashing gentleman, while I was a middle-aged woman with scars on my face.
"Lin Dang, don't worry, I'll take care of this scar. Even if I go bankrupt, I, Huang Yanyan, will definitely repair it. You can rest and recover now." I believe Huang Yanyan is not the kind of person who says one thing and does another, but the appearance behind the bandage will not heal so quickly.
Chu Zhen is an extremely hypocritical person. He requested to be discharged after only a week in the hospital. The doctor was helpless and prescribed some medicine to help his wound heal before agreeing to his discharge request, but he was required to come to the hospital regularly to check the progress of his wound healing. As for me, although I was discharged with him, they did not allow me to go back to work and told me to rest at home until the bandages could be removed.
Of course, I'm not a docile person. I have legs, and I can't be made to back down by a few orders from Chu Zhen. After staying at home for two days, I took a taxi to work right after Chu Zhen left.
"Lin Dang, what brings you here? Didn't Teacher Chu say you wouldn't be back to work for another two weeks? I just submitted your leave application to the personnel department." Xiao Ai asked, somewhat surprised, when she saw me.
"I'm all recovered. Chu Zhen was making a big fuss. Oh, and I bought coffee and cake. Please share them with me!" I put the things on Xiao Ai's desk and went to my own seat. I glanced at Chu Zhen's office; he hadn't arrived yet. I tidied my desk and quietly waited for the storm to break.
"Lin Dang, is your face badly injured? You weren't allowed to visit while you were in the hospital, and it's still bandaged. Has it not healed yet?" Xiao Xiao looked at me with the same surprised expression when she arrived. Indeed, for a beauty universally acknowledged on television as being no less attractive than a presenter, to have suffered surgery on her face is truly devastating.
"It's alright, it's just that I'm disfigured," I said casually.
"You're too optimistic. What do you mean by 'disfigurement'? For a woman, disfigurement is a matter of life and death. Can it be cured?" Xiao Xiao's concern was genuine and heartfelt.
"It's a nightmare for you unmarried young girls, but it's nothing for a married woman like me. Even if you, Master Chu, don't mind, you can't return me, right?" I smiled.
"Is that so? Isn't it immoral to disobey your husband? Shouldn't you divorce him?" Chu Zhen's voice was somewhat cold. Xiao Xiao glanced at the expressionless Chu Zhen, gave him a "you'd better watch yourself" look, and then ran away.
"Didn't I tell you to rest at home? What are you doing here?" Before I could answer, Chu Zhen dragged me into his office and slammed the door shut.
"I'm fine, just some superficial injuries. You have internal injuries, and you've already come to work, so I have no reason not to."
"Actually, I can take the gauze off now. My face has already scabbed over. It's really okay."
"Just let me go to work. Staying at home is really boring and it's not good for the wound to heal."
Seeing that Chu Zhen remained silent and just stared at me coldly, I started rambling on and on.
"Okay, you can go to work now, but you have to stay under my watchful eye all day. You're not allowed to do anything on your own. You have to report to me wherever you go, keep your phone fully charged, and keep location sharing on all the time. Got it?"
I wanted to say something to Chu Zhen, but then I remembered that he was just trying to show he cared about me, so I let it go.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, husband. So, will you still divorce me?"
"We'll see how you do~" Perhaps Chu Zhen didn't expect me to agree so readily, and my words amused him.
With permission granted, my mood instantly brightened, and I happily returned to my seat.
Actually, I know that Chu Zhen is afraid that I will focus too much on Amy and Li Guoqiang, but how could I not know that his decision to go back to work so soon is also to win over Li Guoqiang and Amy in one fell swoop?
Song Huai had been tracking Chu Jun and just yesterday discovered a manufacturing plant hidden in the suburbs of City A. Huang Yanyan had also accumulated a lot of counterfeit goods there. Huang Yanyan had already reported it to the local Administration for Industry and Commerce and the Public Security Bureau. Now everyone was waiting for Li Guoqiang, that old fox, to come out of his hole.
