Chapter 224: You...are you being abused?
Tang Yutong was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he just pressed the internal line and said to the assistant on the other end of the phone:
"All my plans for this afternoon are cancelled."
"But... Mr. Tang, the meeting is about to start in ten minutes, and everyone is already here."
The office was very quiet, so Chu Ci also heard what the assistant said. He quickly said:
"If you have something to do, just go ahead and do it. I don't want you to be responsible, is that okay? I'm really fine."
Tang Yutong didn't even look at him and said directly to the other end of the phone:
"Then continue the meeting. You go and preside over the meeting. I have something to do this afternoon."
"Okay, Mr. Tang."
After Tang Yutong got the reply, she hung up the internal phone and then looked at Chu Ci and said:
"Do you want to leave on your own, or do you want me to have security carry you down?"
Chu Ci raised an eyebrow: "Boss Tang, are you threatening our partners?"
"According to Article 17 of our contract, if any of the core decision-makers on either side have health problems that affect cooperation, the other party has the right to take necessary measures."
Tang Yutong took out the car keys from the drawer and looked at Chu Ci: "Now, choose one."
Ten minutes later, Chu Ci reluctantly got into Tang Yutong's Porsche 911.
The car was filled with the same rose scent as hers, and the seats were custom-made leather, even more comfortable than his Lamborghini.
Just as Tang Yutong was about to start the car, Chu Ci asked again, unwilling to give up: "Do we have to go?"
"What do you think?"
"All right."
Chu Ci has tried all the possible methods now. Since he can't escape, he can only face it calmly. He may really need to go to the hospital for a check-up because he feels more dizzy and a little nauseous.
Chu Ci didn't say a word along the way. It was the first time Tang Yutong discovered that Chu Ci could be so quiet. It was really rare.
She glanced at the passenger seat and saw Chu Ci looking drowsy, his brows furrowed like a river, and beads of sweat on his forehead. It was obvious that he was in real pain.
Tang Yutong couldn't help but reveal worry on her face and subconsciously increased the speed of the car.
"Is it uncomfortable?"
"Not bad." Chu Ci barely squeezed out two words from his mouth.
"You're so weak and you're still saying it's okay? You're really patient."
Tang Yutong couldn't help but complain in her heart: I don't know who has been yelling about not going to the hospital. Now he feels uncomfortable.
Seeing him like this, Tang Yutong was still very curious. What on earth had he done last night? Did he get up in the middle of the night to act like a hero? Otherwise, how could he have knocked his head? Tang Yutong really couldn't figure it out.
Fortunately, they arrived at the city hospital very quickly. After getting off the car, Tang Yutong wanted to help Chu Ci, but was rejected by Chu Ci. He couldn't bear to lose face. How could a grown man like him let a woman support him?
He gritted his teeth and persevered until he reached the registration area. Tang Yutong asked him to sit on the chair next to him while she went to help him register.
She had a headache and didn't know which department to go to. Fortunately, a nurse happened to pass by and Tang Yutong stopped her directly:
"Hello, I'd like to ask which department I should go to for my headache?"
"There are many factors that cause headaches. You have to tell me the cause so I can recommend something to you." The young nurse answered patiently.
Tang Yutong thought for a moment and said, "It's the same headache as when someone hits you."
Upon hearing this, the young nurse looked at Tang Yutong and said, "You...are you being abused?"
Tang Yutong's mouth twitched when she heard this, and then she explained with a smile: "It's not me, it's a friend of mine."
"Don't people always like to start their stories with 'I have a friend'?"
The nurse felt that Tang Yutong was being abused, and she looked at her with concern and said:
"Do you need social assistance? My aunt works at the neighborhood committee. She often handles this kind of thing and is very experienced..."
Tang Yutong was really helpless. There were people waiting to see the doctor over there. Isn't this little nurse busy at work? Tang Yutong saw that she was getting more and more excited, so she interrupted her directly:
"I don't need it, thank you. Just tell me which subject I failed."
Seeing this, the young nurse smiled awkwardly, realizing that she had been talking too much. Perhaps the other person didn't want others to know their privacy. Sigh, it's really not easy for girls nowadays. They have to go to the doctor by themselves after being abused at home...
"Just go to the neurology department."
"Thanks."
After thanking him, Tang Yutong went straight to the self-service registration machine to get a number. After getting the number, she walked towards Chu Ci, only to see him looking around, not knowing what he was looking at.
Seeing this, Tang Yutong stepped forward and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Chu Ci heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Tang Yutong finally returned:
"What took you so long? I thought you were lost."
Tang Yutong smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to explain. She couldn't just say that she was misunderstood and suffered domestic violence...
"Come on, I'll take you upstairs."
Chu Ci didn't say anything else. After all, he was really dizzy and felt like he was going to faint to the ground in the next second. He just gritted his teeth and held on until now.
The two of them took the elevator to the third floor. When Tang Yutong took her to the neurology clinic, Chu Ci became nervous. He looked at Tang Yutong and whispered:
"Did you call the wrong number? Why did you bring me here? I'm not crazy!"
Tang Yutong almost laughed out loud when she heard this:
"No one said you were crazy. Don't worry. I just asked the nurse, and it's definitely the right place to hang it."
Chu Ci looked unconvinced, but it was useless for him to disbelieve. With his current physical condition, he was no match for Tang Yutong and was directly dragged in by Tang Yutong.
The doctor got a general understanding of the situation, and then wrote out several examination orders for Chu Ci. Tang Yutong then took Chu Ci to get examined.
Chu Ci really didn't like getting a checkup. He felt like he'd be diagnosed with something even if he wasn't sick...
From the CT room to the EEG room, Chu Ci was very resistant throughout the whole process. It took a long time to complete an examination. Tang Yutong was really a little impatient. How could a grown man be so slow?
Tang Yutong looked at Chu Ci and asked in confusion: "Why don't you want to get checked?"
Seeing this, Chu Ci knew that it was too late, so he had to accept his fate and said, "It's not that I don't want to do it, I'm just afraid..."
Tang Yutong tapped the checklist with her fingertips, her tone filled with a hint of impatience and ridicule:
"It's just a simple checkup, what's there to be afraid of? These instruments won't eat you."
Chu Ci stared at the deep corridor of the CT machine, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice suddenly became so low that it was almost inaudible:
"I'm afraid I'll end up like my mom, whose life or death depends on a single medical examination..."
