Chapter 13: Draw a clear line with her on that day
When Fu Ruoshi saw the words "I'm free" she sent, his body temperature seemed to rise a few degrees.
He simply took a picture of his left hand and sent it back.
I took another temperature test and it was 39 degrees.
After Wen Zhixia received the photo, her typing hand stopped for a moment.
There was still medicine on the back of the man's skinny hand, which was a very striking dark purple color.
After seeing the photo, Wen Zhixia swallowed back all the words she had been holding back.
Why do you have a fever? Is the wound inflamed?
Forget it, he is already injured so badly, let’s talk about it in a few days.
She changed her tone to a friendly apology: "Come to my house after get off work. I'll make soup tonight. What do you want to eat?"
The sudden change in attitude made Fu Ruoshi a little confused after receiving the message.
So polite? Did your phone get stolen?
He called Wen Zhixia suspiciously.
After just two rings, the sudden slam of the door interrupted his actions.
"Ruo Shi! I brought you breakfast!"
Fu Ruoshi shuddered and immediately hung up the call.
But his phone was not very sensitive after being soaked in water, and he had to press the button twice before hanging up.
Wen Zhixia on the opposite side still heard it.
It was Xu Hui's voice.
She smiled bitterly, thinking that she was stupid, and actually thought of making soup for him.
How could Fu Ruoshi be short of women who wanted to take care of him?
If he posted a picture of his injured hand on his Moments, within ten minutes a bunch of beautiful women driving sports cars would show up at Zhuo Rui's door to show their concern for him.
Forget it.
Wen Zhixia turned off her phone and went to prepare for surgery.
"Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off."
Here, Fu Ruoshi's soup was ruined by Xu Hui, and he got angry because of his poor upbringing.
"Where is Liu Zhen?" he asked Xu Hui.
Xu Hui placed the breakfast she brought next to Fu Ruoshi. "I saw him chatting with the front desk, but I didn't want to disturb him, so I didn't say hello to him."
Fu Ruoshi didn't entertain her either, but was absent-mindedly reading emails.
"My aunt asked me to come." Xu Hui brought up Song Ailing. "Grandma's 80th birthday is this weekend. You must come."
Fu Ruoshi's typing hand paused.
Yes, I almost forgot about this.
The problem is, Xu Hui shouldn't have been the one to convey this.
Most likely, Song Ailing asked her to come.
Since the beginning of this year, she has been pushing Xu Hui towards her every now and then, and her intentions are obvious.
The Xu family has a complicated background and is not of much help to his career. The reason why he remains superficially polite to Xu Hui is simply because her father helped the Fu family a lot in the past. He has no need to offend the Xu family and make enemies for himself.
"Thank you." Fu Ruoshi responded, "I will go. You go first. I'm very busy today."
"Oh my God!" Xu Hui suddenly exclaimed, "Ruoshi, what's wrong with your hand?"
"The puppy bit me." Fu Ruoshi coughed, "Go away quickly. I have a fever. Be careful I might infect you with rabies."
The order to expel her had been issued, so Xu Hui had no choice but to leave the office.
But she was not stupid. The bruises were obviously caused by being hit by a heavy object.
Last night, Fu Ruoshi chased Wen Zhixia out and never returned to the drinking party.
Considering his current injury, Xu Hui guessed that he was probably pursuing Wen Zhixia and the two had some conflict.
Wen Zhixia hit him???
Or was it a fatal beating?
What kind of shrew is this?
Xu Hui was heartbroken. Her Ruo Shi had always been pampered and coaxed by others. How could she have ever suffered such an injustice?
But then she thought again, Fu Ruoshi's words "it was bitten by the puppy" seemed to carry a sense of doting.
Xu Hui comforted herself that she was overthinking it and sent a WeChat message to Song Ailing asking for help:
[Auntie, Ruoshi's hand is injured. I wonder if it was caused last night.]
I should have chased after him.
Auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of him.
Song Ailing: [Ah? How did you get hurt?]
[I don't know, Auntie. He was fine when he was with me yesterday.]
Before coming, Song Ailing specifically told her that the Fu family planned to take advantage of the old lady's birthday party to disclose the divorce between Fu Ruoshi and Wen Zhixia and draw a clear line with Wen Zhixia.
By then, even if Wen Zhixia refused to leave, she would still be a shameful "illegal resident".
Thinking of this, a hint of pride flashed across Xu Hui's face.
-
at dusk.
A thrilling burn surgery has just ended in the Affiliated Hospital of Medical University.
The patient suffered high-voltage electrical burns. Director Wu was the lead surgeon and Wen Zhixia was his assistant.
This job is very stressful and requires attention to many details during the operation. Any carelessness can lead to serious consequences.
Wen Zhixia cooperated very well. After five or six hours, everyone worked together to pull the patient back from the brink of life and death.
After coming out of the operating room, Wen Zhixia almost collapsed.
High-voltage electrical burns are very difficult to treat, and subsequent skin repair is also a huge challenge. She is currently writing a paper on burn plastic surgery.
Even after the operation was over, she was still reviewing the process and thinking about areas for improvement.
Director Wu patted her shoulder and said, "Go back and rest early tonight. Xiaoya and I will be on duty here."
In fact, the high-intensity work allowed Wen Zhixia to withdraw from trivial matters. When she thought of the unresolved mess of the Fu family, she felt like escaping.
She turned on her phone.
The two missed calls were from Fu Ruoshi, and one WeChat message was from Special Assistant Liu:
Madam, Sunday is the old lady's 80th birthday. You are invited to attend. Details are as follows:
old lady.
Fu Ruoshi’s grandmother.
Wen Zhixia's heart softened.
She had met her grandmother twice. The old lady had white hair and a youthful face, giving people an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
However, I am not even a member of the Fu family, so what difference does it make whether I go or not?
Who cares?
She replied, "Sorry, Special Assistant Liu, I'm on duty that day and may not be able to go."
After sending the message, she muted her phone and temporarily put aside the troubles with the Fu family.
After leaving the hospital, she went to the supermarket to buy some wine and fruit, withdrew some cash, and went back home to see her grandfather.
She usually goes to her grandfather's house once every two weeks, but she has been busy recently and hasn't been there for almost a month.
It takes about an hour to get there by subway from the city center.
My grandfather is a retired teacher and lives in an old house on the outskirts of the city.
After her parents passed away, she grew up here with her grandfather.
"Grandpa, I'm back!" She knocked on the door.
Wen Litao has gray hair and wears glasses, giving him the air of an old intellectual. "Wow, you've lost weight."
"Grandpa," Wen Zhixia looked at his unsteady gait, as if he had suddenly aged several years after not seeing him for a month.
"Grandpa, why have you lost so much weight?" she asked anxiously.
Wen Litao waved his hand nonchalantly and pulled her into the house. "Oh, it's summer, it's called a bitter summer. Look at you making such a fuss. Sit down and I'll get you some ice cream."
As he spoke, he went to get food for Wen Zhixia and put the quick-acting heart pills on the table into his pocket.
Wen Zhixia didn't notice, she was stuffing the money she brought into her grandfather's cabinet.
"Hey?" She turned around and shouted, "Grandpa, where's the widescreen TV I bought you last time? Why is it gone?"
"Your aunt took it away," Wen Litao brought out the ice cream and gave it to her. "She thought it was a waste to use that high-tech thing on me. It's okay, I don't watch TV that much."
