I was half asleep when I heard my phone ringing.
I reached out and touched it; it was an unfamiliar number.
I thought it was a scam call and hung up immediately.
But as soon as I put the phone back, it rang again, from the same number.
I had no choice but to answer: "Hello."
"Hello, your friend is drunk and lying here. You should come and pick him up." It was an unfamiliar voice on the other end of the phone, asking me to come and get him.
I was taken aback. "Who's drunk?"
“I don’t know him either. I’m a bartender. This guy was completely drunk, and when I asked him how to get him home, he gave me a number. I don’t know if it’s correct…”
After explaining to me, they immediately went to call the drunk person. I heard them calling for a long time, and then I heard a voice say, "Xiao Wan..."
Even though I was too drunk to hear clearly, I instantly recognized that it was Gu Yanqing.
"Sorry, you dialed the wrong number." I said that and hung up.
This phone call completely woke me up.
For a fleeting moment, a curse crossed my mind: I wish he would just die from alcohol poisoning, and that all attempts to save him would be in vain.
When this wicked thought crossed my mind, I was startled myself.
After calming down, I decided to call the Gu family.
Perfect timing, I need to let them know about something.
Late at night, I dialed the Gu family's landline number, and the housekeeper answered.
Originally, I could have just relayed the message, but then I remembered something else and asked the housekeeper to transfer the call to Li Qinglan.
After a short wait, Li Qinglan's voice came through the phone, cold and confused: "Jiang Wan? Are you sick? Why are you calling in the middle of the night?"
“Gu Yanqing got drunk outside, and someone called me. I'm just passing on this message to you. Also, the divorce decree between Gu Yanqing and me has been issued. He's been harassing me these past few days and even wants to appeal. If you don't want your precious daughter to go to jail, then you'd better control your son. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless.”
After saying that, I prepared to hang up.
But Li Qinglan got even more worked up and started cursing: "Jiang Wan, I really misjudged you! All these years, I felt sorry for you losing your mother and loved you like my own daughter. I never thought I raised a snake, and now it's biting me!"
"Yes, just think of me as a venomous snake or a ferocious beast, so don't mess with me, or you'll face the consequences!"
After saying that, I decisively cut off the connection.
Anyway, I've done my part as a humanitarian. I gave the waiter's phone number to the Gu family's housekeeper. Whether Gu Yanqing lives or dies is none of my business anymore.
But to my utter surprise, my phone rang again the very next morning while I was still asleep.
I was woken up by the noise, picked up my phone and glanced at it; it was another unknown number.
"Hello."
"Jiang Wan, Yan Qing is dying! He's being resuscitated! Please come to the hospital and save him, I'm begging you, please save him!" I was still in a daze when I was startled by Li Qinglan's panicked plea on the other end of the phone.
