Chapter 48 Chapter 48 My period
Jiang Yue was silent for a moment, then asked her, "Is there any way to relieve the pain? Painkillers?"
Wen Yao shook her head: "I haven't tried it."
She only tried taking Chinese medicine. After a month, it seemed to relieve the symptoms a little, but the medicine was too bitter. After a month, she pretended not to see the medicine after that. It is estimated that it has expired now.
Her mother and her best friend's mother both told them that "everything will be fine after getting married." She and her best friend scoffed at this, but at the same time they secretly held out hope. What if it was true?
But last year, my best friend started living with her boyfriend, and I told her: It's fake, it's useless.
Now she knows that if they don't live together, getting a marriage certificate is pointless. This proves that the saying "everything will be fine after marriage" is a lie.
"Let's stop at the pharmacy ahead." Jiang Yue said at this time. The driver responded and stopped the car in front of a pharmacy not far away. Jiang Yue looked at Wen Yao who was leaning motionless in the seat, and got out of the car.
A few minutes later, he came back with several boxes of medicine and a cup of hot water in a disposable paper cup.
Wen Yao knew that Jiang Yue's purpose was to ensure that nothing unexpected happened tonight, but she was still a little touched that someone was taking care of her at a time like this.
He opened the medicine box for her, poured two pills into his hand and handed it to her. Wen Yao was about to take the medicine when she saw the words on the box: short-acting oral contraceptive.
"Is this the birth control pill?" she asked in astonishment.
Jiang Yue replied briefly: "This is the medicine the doctor gave me."
"What kind of doctor is that? The people in the pharmacy just have a work permit at best."
"This is a simple matter. A work permit is all you need." Jiang Yue still handed the pills to her, but she refused to take them. This was mainly because she had heard about the side effects of various birth control pills and was very resistant to them.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment, and Jiang Yue asked, "Are you going to the cocktail party in this state?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he sounded oppressive, as if he was forcing her. Wen Yao was feeling uncomfortable and couldn't help feeling angry and aggrieved. She turned her head away and refused to take the medicine or pay any attention to him.
Jiang Yue looked at her silently for a while, put down the pill, and said calmly to the driver: "Let's go."
Wen Yao thought that Jiang Yue would definitely turn against her, but she decided to grit her teeth and resist, never giving in to the evil forces.
This cocktail party was held in a five-star hotel. Most of the invitees were business elites, as well as some wealthy sons and daughters or celebrities. That was why Jiang Yue met Guan Xiaoya here.
When she got out of the car, Wen Yao felt like she couldn't even straighten her back, and she had to grit her teeth to breathe. It was as if her luck had gotten worse since she was with Jiang Yue. It had never been like this before. Her period always came at normal times, or at least never on important days. But with Jiang Yue, it was different. Whatever she feared would come true.
Jiang Yue looked at her clenched hands and frowned, then stood beside her and said in a deep voice, "Hold my arm."
Wen Yao had no idea how Jiang Yue was internally despising her. She wanted to remain stubborn and ignore him, but her body wouldn't let her. After a moment's hesitation, she obediently took his arm and reluctantly rested half her body on it. There was really no other way. She had a stomachache, and she was wearing a dress and high heels. Without some support, she was afraid she would fall.
Jiang Yue remained silent throughout the entire process, his face as cold as ice. It was not until he entered the venue that he began to put on his polite yet arrogant expression of an elite aristocrat, hiding his previous indifference and boredom beneath his face.
Just as Wen Yao was criticizing Jiang Yue in her heart, Jiang Yue stopped and whispered in her ear, "Sit down here and rest. Pay attention to Guan Xiaoya's movements. When she appears and walks over to me, come over."
Wen Yao came to her senses and found that the two were standing next to a sofa in a corner.
It's quite nice to sit here. The air conditioning here is the lowest, which may be too hot for others, but it's just right for her. This sofa is a single sofa, so no one else will sit with her. Moreover, she can see the dynamics of the entire venue while resting.
Wen Yao decided not to care about his bad attitude just now. She said "hmm" softly and sat down on the sofa.
Jiang Yue entered the center of the venue, and soon someone came over to greet him, and the two started chatting.
Although she felt uncomfortable, she still remembered her mission. She leaned on the sofa to rest while staring at Jiang Yue and his surroundings. She did not see Guan Xiaoya for the time being.
When her gaze returned to Jiang Yue again, she discovered that as long as the male protagonist Jiang Lin was not around, Jiang Yue would stand out from the crowd. With his handsome face, upright figure, and elite aristocratic temperament, no one around him could compare to him. Even the few male stars present were more refined and beautiful than him, and less naturally confident and arrogant.
With the conditions and the hard work, she wouldn't accept it. Why would she end up in such a miserable way?
Just as she was thinking about all sorts of random things, Jiang Yue's cell phone seemed to ring. He lowered his head to glance at it, said something to the person opposite him, and then quickly walked out of the venue.
Wen Yao didn't remember the scene where Jiang Yue suddenly went out. She thought that he didn't tell her either. If she met Guan Xiaoya outside later, she shouldn't blame her.
Then she saw Guan Xiaoya.
Guan Xiaoya seemed to have arrived at the venue before, but was blocked by a flower decoration. Now she came out and was not far from where Jiang Yue was just now.
Wen Yao recognized her because of her snow-white bubble skirt dress, her face that looked a bit like Lu Wan, and her sweet and gentle temperament. Although she was very beautiful, she had the quiet demeanor of a girl next door. As soon as she debuted, she became a gentle goddess in the hearts of many men.
In the novel, Jiang Yue decided to marry Guan Xiaoya not only because she was pregnant and Old Master Jiang wanted a grandson, but also because she was well-behaved. Jiang Yue, not wanting to be bound by marriage, thought it would be okay even if he married her. Who knew this character was a poison drug the author fed him?
"If you don't want to eat that, this will be okay, right?" A voice sounded beside her ear. Wen Yao was startled and turned around to find that Jiang Yue was standing in front of her at some point.
She suppressed her guilty conscience and looked at what he handed her. She found it was a glass of water and a box of medicine with "ibuprofen" written on it.
"This is not a contraceptive pill." Jiang Yue said.
Wen Yao remembered that he had just answered the phone and left. Was it to get medicine? Did he ask the driver to buy medicine?
Feeling a little surprised and touched, she took the water and medicine involuntarily. Turning back, she found that there was no table in front of her, so she had to hand the cup of water to Jiang Yue and opened the medicine herself.
I took two pills according to the instructions, then took the water from Jiang Yue's hand and drank it with the water. The water temperature was just right, and when it went into my stomach, I felt much better.
"You continue to sit here and rest. I'll call you if there's anything." Jiang Yue saw that she had finished drinking the medicine and was about to get the cup for her and leave, but Wen Yao grabbed him.
"Wait a moment."
Jiang Yue stopped and looked forward following her gaze. He saw a waiter pushing a wine cart passing by the venue and almost bumping into Guan Xiaoya. Guan Xiaoya stepped back to avoid the cart and finally bumped into a table behind her, and the red wine glass in her hand splashed on herself.
The plot had changed. The original plot was that she bumped into Jiang Yue, who reached out to help her, and the wine in her hand spilled on him. She hurriedly apologized to Jiang Yue, who was surprised to see her resemblance to Lu Wan, and was fascinated by her gentle and pure temperament, and thus they formed a bond.
But this time, Jiang Yue was not there, and Guan Xiaoya did not see Jiang Yue either.
After this accident, Guan Xiaoya was very embarrassed, but she still told the apologetic waiter that it was okay, then said goodbye to the people around her with a shy smile and went to the bathroom to deal with it.
Only after seeing Guan Xiaoya leave did Wen Yao breathe a sigh of relief and let go of Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue lowered his head and said, "I'll go upstairs in half an hour. Come with me. I'll call you later."
Wen Yao nodded in agreement.
Jiang Yue went back to the center of the venue. Wen Yao was still resting on the sofa. It seemed that the painkillers had relieved a lot of her abdominal pain.
At this moment, she looked up and saw a familiar figure: Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was also looking at her, and it looked like he had seen her before. He was walking towards her. When he reached her, he smiled and asked with some concern, "Sister-in-law, are you not feeling well? Why are you sitting here alone?"
She was surprised by Jiang Chen's kindness. She smiled politely in return and said, "I don't know anyone here anyway, so I'll just sit here and rest for a while. I'm not used to wearing these high heels."
Jiang Chen pulled another single sofa closer and sat down, seemingly intending to have a long conversation with her.
"You'll get used to it after wearing it more often. You and Big Brother seem to have a really good relationship. I thought Big Brother didn't care about others. I've never seen him serve tea or water to anyone before, not even to Sister Lu Wan." Jiang Chen said.
Wen Yao didn't understand why Jiang Chen had come to see her, nor did she understand the purpose of her words to her. After much thought, she wondered if she was trying to join forces with her to deal with Lu Wan. After all, according to the plot, Jiang Yue's ultimate enemy was Jiang Lin, and Jiang Chen's ultimate enemy was Lu Wan. Yes, her plot was just so clichéd and melodramatic, with tools everywhere.
But Jiang Chen also has another setting, which is impulsive and brainless, while the person in front of him is a bit like a white lotus. If Wen Yao was not familiar with the characters in the plot, she would definitely have a good impression of Jiang Chen now, just look at how nice he speaks.
Facing Jiang Chen's admiration, Wen Yao replied, "Not really. He doesn't care about others most of the time. He acts like he's the master and everyone else is his servant."
Jiang Chen covered his mouth and laughed: "Look, only you dare to say that to him."
Wen Yao didn't understand her purpose yet, so she smiled pretending to enjoy it.
Jiang Chen sat next to her and chatted, "Speaking of which, did you see that little celebrity who was bumped into by the waiter just now? She looks a lot like Sister Lu Wan. I almost made a mistake."
Wen Yao looked surprised: "Ah, which one?"
Jiang Chen stared at her and replied, "She's gone. She must have gone to the bathroom."
"Oh." Wen Yao found that as soon as she relaxed, her stomach began to ache again. She could not help but bite her lip and press her abdomen.
Jiang Chen looked at her and asked in a concerned voice: "Are you having menstrual cramps?"
Wen Yao nodded: "A little bit."
Jiang Chen said distressedly, "That's really hard. Didn't others say that everything would be fine after marriage? It seems that it's no use."
Wen Yao laughed: "That must be nonsense, what does it matter?"
At this time, Jiang Yue came over and put his hand on Wen Yao's shoulder: "Come on, I'll take you there."
Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at Jiang Yue, smiling broadly, "Brother."
Jiang Yue only then glanced at her and asked politely, "You're here too?"
"Yes, I came with my friend. If I hadn't come, I would have to attend Uncle Li's birthday party with Grandpa. That Zhang Qian would also be there. I don't want to go!" Jiang Chen complained to Jiang Yue.
Wen Yao was a little surprised, because Jiang Chen's tone really sounded like a sister acting coquettishly to her brother. This was clearly her attitude towards Jiang Lin. When did she become so close to Jiang Yue?
Jiang Yue ignored her and advised calmly: "Since you are engaged, it is better for you to get acquainted with him earlier. It is not a bad thing to see each other more often." After that, he pulled Wen Yao away and ignored Jiang Chen who was pouting in dissatisfaction.
When they were far away, Wen Yao said, "I think it's a bit strange."
"What's Jiang Chen's attitude?" Jiang Yue asked.
This person is really smart. She barely started talking, and people already guessed what she was going to say. Wen Yao nodded. "Yes, logically, she only has eyes for Jiang Lin, and she looks down on me. Her attitude wasn't very nice when I first met her, but now she seems to be trying to get closer to me. She's also changed her attitude towards you. Before, she even used you to smear Lu Wan, but now she's acting like a loving brother."
"What do you think her purpose is in getting close to you?" After they entered the elevator, Jiang Yue pressed the 30th floor button and asked her.
