Chapter 678: Chapter 652: Taking Notes on a Small Book (Thanks to kateliu for the silver reward +19 more)
“Tell him, Weiwei is not ready to see him during this time, let him wait, consider apologizing after three days.”
Xiao Qian deliberately tortures Oliver James – she knows he will grow more and more anxious over these three days.
That’s exactly the effect she wants. He has caused Weiwei so much psychological trauma over the years, it’s time for him to taste the terror of nightmares with a heart hanging by a thread.
“But he said, every time he closes his eyes at night he hears a dog barking, it scares him terribly, even my mom says she heard it.”
“A dog barking?” There are dogs in the hospital?
“Yes, he’s got scared. It’s always the sudden sounds of a dog barking in the middle of the night. It happened the day before yesterday and yesterday, always at midnight, lasts for 3 to 5 minutes each time, and only their ward can hear it! It’s not from the TV, my mom heard it too. Meiwei, should we just let him apologize?”
“No, let him bear it.”
Xiao Qian decisively hangs up the call, but can’t help thinking about the dog barking problem.
The Central Hospital’s inpatient department has several floors. Oliver James is hospitalized upstairs, how can he hear the barking of a dog?
It’s impossible for a dog to get up there, and the barking in the middle of the night can’t possibly be from someone watching TV. They never heard of a TV that only plays dog barking, and it lasts for 3, 5 minutes at a time, and only Oliver James’s ward can hear it, it is indeed very mysterious.
Boss Qian doesn’t believe in these so-called supernatural happenings. She thinks it’s man-made and someone is getting back at Oliver James for his past misdeeds.
No matter who it is or whether it’s supernatural, Boss Qian has no sympathy for this Bad Guy, nor is she interested in investigating the truth. Let the dog bark if it wants to, it’s not a waste if it drives this livestock to a mental breakdown.
Xiao Qian put this matter on hold for now, without thinking about it too much.
“See, I’m so busy all day long, and you’re here pretending to be heartbroken, you’re clearly a strong woman but like to pretend to be innocent and sweet, don’t you think you’re irritating people?” Xiao Qian complained to Shuixian after hanging up the phone.
“Are you really my sister?” Shuixian’s heart was sore.
“Yeah, I’ve formally offered tea to your dad and followed the procedure of acknowledging relatives!”
“Is it appropriate at this time?”
“Your look, submerged in the pain of feelings, carelessly fulfilled my vanity. The feeling is like sitting in a restaurant eating a big meal, watching you standing in the rain in the queue from behind a glass pane. I’m so full and you can’t come in to see me eating, the joyous feeling is amplified through this contrast. We all have vanity, I’m no exception, I am become more and more worldly, this is all Xiao Qiang’s fault, he led me astray.”
“End of relationship.” This friend was too much, she didn’t comfort her but deliberately provoked her, too irritating!
“Yeah, it’s time to end it, you’ve grown up.”
Shuixian was taken aback, “You mean…end?”
“Didn’t you already send him a breakup text? Then what’s with this look of grief?” Xiao Qian lifts Shuixian’s chin, adopting the enchanting voice of a domineering CEO, “Woman, even though your words say no, your body is still very honest.”
“Can you stop being so annoying!” Shuixian brushed off Xiao Qian’s hand, too nervous to meet Xiao Qian’s eyes.
Xiao Qian wipes off her mischievous expression, suddenly becoming serious.
“Shuixian, it’s best that you don’t make me stop being annoying, because if I do stop, I will reveal your true motive for breaking up, don’t force me to tell the truth.”
“Truth?” Shuixian’s heart skipped a beat, she thought she had her motives perfectly concealed.
“Yes, the truth. Do you want to hear it?”
Nothing could be hidden from Xiao Qian.
From the marriage gift her godfather gifted to Boss Qian, to Shuixian’s breakup, these seemingly unrelated events have all been pieced together in Boss Qian’s head.
Boss Qian has already seen through everything, yet Shuixian still adamantly denies it.
“I, I admit, I still feel hurt now, but it’s not because I can’t let go of him. Even if it’s a pet you’ve been raising for years, when you lose it, your heart will hurt. It’s just a normal psychological reaction – hey, what are you doing?”
Shuixian saw Xiao Qian taking out her portable notebook and pen, writing something down.
“I picked up this good habit from my patient’s sister. All dark history should be noted down. On this year, this month–” Xiao Qian looked at her watch, wrote down the date, “–Shuixian compared Zhu Daodao to a dog. She also said that she does not love Zhu Daodao…”
“Hey!” Shuixian was both amused and annoyed.
“When did you pick up such a childish habit! When did I say that! And you’re keeping track of this nonsense with the watch I gave you, are you serious?”
Xiao Qian learned this from Ye Xiaoyu. Ye Xiaoyu always observed Xiao Qian and took notes of anything suspicious.
Xiao Qian raised her eyes, chuckled a few times, “It’s childish, but don’t you think it’s fun? If you act impulsive in the future, I’ll record it down, and then show it to Zhu Daodao. Wow, friends are there to be sold out.”
“…You’ve had too much of Yu Minglang’s influence, you’re not normal anymore.” Shuixian gave up trying to understand her. Xiao Qian used to not be this playful; what’s going on with her lately!
“Shuixian, we have been arguing over who is the older sister and who is the younger one for years. You always think you should be the older one, but in my heart, you are the younger one. This charade you’re playing with breakups was done by me years ago. You are only doing this now, and you say you’re not the younger sister? Back then, I thought I was very noble, facilitating Yu Minglang and making myself a successful career woman and all. Looking back now, I realize I was just making trouble for myself. It’s unavoidable, even the smartest people can’t avoid doing stupid things in their lifetime.”
Boss Qian’s reason for breaking up with Yu Minglang back then was quite similar to why Shuixian broke up with Zhu Daodao now.
Even if she didn’t say it outright, Xiao Qian has already guessed it.
The Tang Family is on the brink of a big battle, Shuixian’s godfather intends to retire to the second line. Shuixian, as a woman, will face a lot of challenges in rising to power. If Daodao wishes to continue the relationship with Shuixian, both families will want Daodao to come back and help Shuixian.
She couldn’t face so much alone, if he couldn’t even do this, her godfather definitely would not let Shuixian get married. And frankly, if Daodao were to marry Shuixian, he couldn’t truly hold any real power in the company and would at most be aiding her.
It’s needless to say that Shuixian likes Daodao, she knows him very well. His development has been exceptionally good under Yu Minglang’s business. He cannot go back to being a supporting man in her life. With the current situation, Daodao only has two options: go back and assist Shuixian or break up.
There are only two choices, no third answer. Shuixian doesn’t wish to make things hard for Daodao, so she chose to break up.
In Shuixian’s eyes, she has made a grand, magnanimous, and perfect decision. But Xiao Qian summarized it with just a few words and an adjective.
The words: she says she doesn’t want him, but her body is very honest.
The descriptor: foolish.
