Chapter 69: Former and Current
Chen Yao looked at her and explained helplessly: "I won't look at your phone."
Chen Congyu wanted to say, "You haven't seen enough?" She wanted to install a camera on her forehead to see where she went and what she said to whom every day.
She didn't have the energy to speak at the moment, so she simply stretched out her hand to ask for it.
Chen Yao placed her phone in her palm.
One more question: "Is there any important news you want to reply?"
Chen Congyu was worried that he might have peeked at her phone, but she had to pretend to be calm.
In front of Chen Yao, she didn't look at her phone, but held it in her palm.
Not long after, the doctor came to check on Chen Congyu's condition. Chen Yao put himself in her husband's position and communicated with the doctor. Chen Congyu was too lazy to correct him at this time.
While he was out with the doctor, Shen Congyu turned on his cell phone.
The most eye-catching thing is Jiang Xilin’s phone call and message.
He asked her at the beginning, but then probably because she didn't move, he didn't ask her again.
There was also news from Xue Mingrui. She was chatting with her normally, but she hadn't replied after one night. Xue Mingrui also asked her a few more questions about what she was doing.
Shen Congyu did not respond to Jiang Xilin, but replied to Xue Mingrui.
She couldn't be discharged from the hospital for a day or two, and she couldn't hide it anymore, so she simply told Xue Mingrui that she was in the hospital.
Xue Mingrui called and said he wanted to see her.
Chen Congyu thought that this would be a good way to drive Chen Yao away.
She checked the usage time of her phone and roughly calculated that Chen Yao should not have unlocked her phone yet.
Unable to eat now, Chen Yao came back from the doctor and shamelessly sat by the bed to accompany Shen Congyu.
She said she was accompanying him, but in fact, when he talked to Shen Congyu, she didn't say a word in reply. After a few words, she couldn't stand it anymore and lay down to cover herself with the quilt.
Chen Yao stopped talking, but he didn't leave. He just sat there, as if just looking at her was fine.
Chen Congyu was disgusted.
She couldn't eat, so she went to the bathroom midway and deliberately filled it with water.
Chen Yao was waiting at the bathroom door. She opened the door and said to him, "Clean up the water inside. I almost fell."
Chen Yao: "I'll go call the cleaner."
"I don't want strangers coming in. Go get it."
Chen Yao looked at her. She walked past him with a cold face and returned to the hospital bed.
Seeing that he didn't move, she asked him, "Didn't you say you would take care of me?"
"Okay, I'll go clean up, you lie down and get some rest."
Chen Congyu did not respond.
He found a mop, closed the door and went into the bathroom.
Xue Mingrui sent a message saying that he had arrived. Before Shen Congyu had time to be happy, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside, and the person who came in was Jiang Xilin.
At this moment, Shen Congyu's heart jumped to her throat. Before she could react, she had just made eye contact with Jiang Xilin when Chen Yao came out of the bathroom on the other side.
I ran into Jiang Xilin red-handed.
Chen Congyu subconsciously pinched the corner of the quilt nervously.
Chen Yao was wearing a shirt with his sleeves rolled up because they were about to drag on the ground. He pushed up his glasses when he saw Jiang Xilin.
"You are Cong Yu's ex, right?"
Jiang Xilin glanced at Chen Congyu indifferently. Chen Congyu's face was pale and his eyes showed helplessness.
He asked Chen Yao: "Do you know me?"
"Of course, if it's related to Cong Yu, I'll naturally find out. I wanted to talk about it at Cong Yu's friend's birthday party a few days ago, but Cong Yu wouldn't let me. I guess she thought it was inappropriate for me to talk to her ex."
Chen Congyu was not happy to hear this.
And secretly instigated.
She asked irritably, "Is the toilet cleaned?"
She said this deliberately, but Chen Yao was even more shameless. He opened his mouth and said, "It's cleaned. I did what you asked. But the floor isn't dry yet. If you want to use the bathroom later, I have to carry you in first to avoid you falling."
Chen Congyu felt the silent gaze from Jiang Xilin. She didn't look at him, but still felt a pressure that made her almost breathless.
I really want to tear Chen Yao’s nasty mouth apart.
How come his presence only causes trouble for her?
She said stiffly, "No, my hands and feet are fine."
Chen Yao asked Jiang Xilin: "Mr. Jiang, are you here to visit Cong Yu? Did she tell you? Is your relationship still good now?"
Shen Congyu looked at Jiang Xilin nervously, begging him not to say inappropriate words.
Obviously, Chen Yao was already suspicious.
She knew in her heart that Jiang Xilin would not easily listen to her, but at the same time she had a slight hope.
Jiang Xilin was about to speak when Xue Mingrui suddenly appeared from behind him.
"Oh, I just received a call, so I'm a little late," she said to Jiang Xilin, "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for taking the time to take me to visit Sister Cong Yu."
Xue Mingrui grabbed Jiang Xilin's sleeve and pulled it at an angle where Chen Yao couldn't see.
Jiang Xilin then said "hmm" coldly.
"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll just take a taxi when I get back."
Jiang Xilin glanced at Shen Congyu's face for the last time, then turned and left the ward.
Xue Mingrui then closed the door of the ward, saw Chen Yao, said nothing, walked to the bedside and asked about Shen Congyu's condition.
Chen Congyu said: "I drank it."
Xue Mingrui: "How could he drink so much? It's scary."
Shen Congyu looked at Chen Yao.
Chen Yao explained, "It's my fault for not making proper arrangements. I will take good care of Cong Yu after she is discharged from the hospital."
Chen Congyu: "I want to talk to my friend, why don't you leave?"
Xue Mingrui looked at him.
Chen Yao straightened his sleeves and picked up his coat from the sofa. "Then I'll be leaving first. I'll come back later. Call me if you need anything."
He added two more sentences, but Chen Congyu pretended not to hear them.
As soon as he left, Xue Mingrui ran to the door to see if he had really left.
Then he curled his lips and complained to Chen Congyu: "He is really good at pretending. It's really disgusting to see him like this after knowing who he is."
"So it's a good thing you arrived in time."
Xue Mingrui picked at his fingers and said, "Brother Jiang couldn't contact you. He knew I was coming here so he came along. I didn't know this guy named Chen was here too. Is everything going well between them?"
Chen Congyu shook his head, "Not in front of me. Just come when Jiang Xilin comes, so that he won't think I'm deliberately ignoring him."
"I was so scared when I heard you were suddenly hospitalized. I thought Chen had done something to you."
Xue Mingrui said: "Then I'll stay here with you for the next few days since I have nothing to do. This way he won't be around you all the time."
Chen Congyu knew that Chen Yao must be very dissatisfied with this, but he had caused her to be hospitalized for gastric bleeding, so she could only endure her dissatisfaction.
She had a headache when she thought about what happened after Chen Yao left last night.
Xue Mingrui listened to her story, his face flushed with anger, and he said sarcastically: "That old man did it on purpose, didn't he? Does he look down on the Chen family, so he dares to bully you like this? As expected, we are a family, and we are all so mean. What's the point of bullying you?"
