Chapter 205 - 205 198 Took medicine not pregnant (first update)

Chapter 205: 198: Took medicine, not pregnant (first update) Chapter 205: 198: Took medicine, not pregnant (first update) Guan Sixing’s alcohol tolerance: two shots of baijiu.

His drunken behavior was okay. Even when he had too much, he didn’t make a fuss, and his logical thinking wasn’t disrupted.

Armed with his phone and charger, he sat on the floor next to an outlet, charging his phone while making calls.

He was persistent, calling until the nineteenth attempt before getting through, and then he kept the line open.

“Youyou.”

Jhiang Youyou’s phone battery was almost dead: “I’m hanging up.”

“Don’t hang up.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Do you want to make up?”

“Youyou.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Do you want to make up?”

Back and forth, the same few lines were repeated, who knows how many times. The language skills of a science genius were quite basic and deteriorated even further when drunk.

When the call first got through, Jhiang Youyou asked where he was, and he said he was on the floor.

Probably still on the floor, not bothered by the cold.

“The call is dropping.”

He insisted, “Don’t hang up, don’t hang up.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Do you want to make up?”

“Youyou.”

He probably had never been in an argument, begged someone, been smooth-talking or sweet-talking; apologizing and lowering his head were clumsy actions for him, frank and pure.

“I’m really going to hang up.”

“Don’t hang up.”

Jhiang Youyou: “...”

She glanced at the call duration, 115 minutes. He wasn’t planning to stay on till he sobered up, was he?

“You should go to sleep. I’m going to sleep, too.”

“You go to sleep,” he said earnestly, “but don’t hang up the call.”

“...”

Who on earth let him drink.

Jhiang Youyou heard two voices coming from his side.

“Xiao Huan, why are you licking the ashtray?”

“Idiot, this is a popsicle.”

“Oh, then give me a lick too.”

*****

In the next two days, Jhiang Zhenghao bombarded her with calls from various numbers.

“Hello.”

This time it was from her fourth sister’s number.

As soon as she answered, it was Jhiang Zhenghao again.

He played the emotional card, claiming that Jhiang’s was his life’s work.

Jhiang Youyou was annoyed: “What does your bankruptcy have to do with me?”

Jhiang Zhenghao, seeing that his soft approach wasn’t working, took a harder stance, expressing a desire to go directly to the Guan Family.

“I have already broken up with Guan Sixing. Your going to the Guan Family has nothing to do with me,” Jhiang Youyou was unaffected, with an it’s-not-my-problem attitude, “Go ahead if you’re not afraid of offending the Guan Family.”

Just then, Wen Changling came in, pushed open the door to a toilet stall, and vomited into the toilet.

“Don’t call me again.” Jhiang Youyou hung up immediately and walked behind Wen Changling: “Are you okay?”

She shook her head and flushed the toilet.

Jhiang Youyou checked her complexion: “You look very pale.”

Wen Changling’s complexion hadn’t been good recently.

“My stomach is a bit upset.” While washing her hands, Wen Changling looked at Jhiang Youyou in the mirror, “You also don’t look well.”

“Didn’t sleep well last night.”

Last night, Jhiang Youyou had visited a rental property. She hadn’t slept for long; at about five in the morning, a patient’s relative made several calls, reporting the patient’s worsening condition, urging her to come to the hospital.

Both of them left the restroom together, and as they passed the nurse’s station, Ho Ye called out to Jhiang Youyou.

“Dr. Jhiang, someone is looking for you.”

Ho Ye lifted her chin slightly, signaling to look at the opposite side.

Jhiang Youyou turned her head to look, and upon seeing the person, her frown relaxed. She bowed her head a little, feeling somewhat uneasy, then quickly walked over and grasped Guan Sixing’s wrist.

“Come with me.”

Jhiang Youyou took Guan Sixing to the stairwell, where there was no one.

She didn’t speak, waiting for him to speak first. But when her ears began to burn from waiting and he still hadn’t said anything, she just stared blankly at her hand that he was holding.

Jhiang Youyou awkwardly released his hand, “Don’t you need to be at the research institute?”

“I took leave.”

She uttered an “oh,” looking down at Guan Sixing’s shoes.

“I’m sorry.”

She lifted her head, “Is that all you have to say to me?” She was tired of hearing this phrase, especially today, it was the last thing she wanted to hear.

Guan Sixing took out a set of keys and held them out to her.

“What does this mean?”

“I’m giving you the spare keys. You can go back and stay there. Until you calm down, I won’t bother you at home. Don’t stay outside, it’s not safe.”

Now he understood not to bother her? Who was it that bothered her last night?

“Did you drink last night?”

Guan Sixing, not knowing how she found out, honestly nodded, “Just a little.”

Jhiang Youyou asked again, “What time did you go to sleep?”

“Ten o’clock.”

She suddenly remembered a saying: What goes around comes around.

She took the keys, “Well, you’ve even learned to drink.”

Guan Sixing could tell she was annoyed, so he immediately said, “I won’t drink anymore.”

She glared at him with a cold look.

“Don’t come to find me at the hospital in the future.”

She left, slamming the door heavily behind her.

It seemed she was even angrier than before as Guan Sixing hung his head low, reflecting on his actions.

In the afternoon, Fu Ying arrived at the hospital.

For dinner, Wen Changling ate with her at the same place they had the drunken incident, a small restaurant. The lady owner was not only good at brewing wine but also excellent at making soup.

“Xie Shang moves quickly. Out of KE’s seven top partners, two have already been invited out for ‘tea.'”

“Which two?”

Fu Ying said, “The Wang and Qiao duo.”

Both were Xie Liangjiang’s right-hand men.

“Xie Liangjiang shouldn’t be too far off,” Fu Ying got the insider information, “The Management Committee is undergoing a major reshuffle, and KE has managed to do it quietly internally, without a whistle being blown. Not even a keyword related to it can be searched online. KE’s public relations are truly unprecedented.”

Xie Jingxian had three brothers, and the second son of his youngest brother, Xie Jingyuan, married the only daughter of the Zhao family from Wangxin Media, a leading news industry player. Any news related to the Xie family probably had to pass through the Zhao family first.

Wen Changling put down her chopsticks and poured herself a glass of water.

“How come you’re eating so little?”

“I’m not hungry.”

Wen Changling didn’t take a single sip of the chicken soup today, she even pushed it far away, not wanting to smell it.

Fu Ying couldn’t help but overthink, “When was the last time you and Xie Shang ‘did it’?”

The topic shifted so abruptly that Wen Changling was taken aback before she replied, “Yueyue, you’re overthinking it. I just have an upset stomach. I had indigestion eating at the Qin Family’s place.”

“When?”

Wen Changling wasn’t a person who beat around the bush, but in front of Fu Ying, she felt the awkwardness of being found out by a parent, so she confessed with an honest face, “The week before last.”

Fu Ying deliberately dragged out her words in a teasing tone, “The week before last, huh.”

So, it was during their breakup period.

“Did you use a condom?”

“No,” Wen Changling’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, “I was on the pill.”

“Next time, still wear a condom.”

Wen Changling shook her head firmly, “There won’t be a next time.”

Fu Ying knew she had to lend a hand where she could, “What’s the big deal, it’s not like you’re getting back together. Just think of it as getting a freebie from him.”

Wen Changling pretended to drink water.
