Chapter 352 The Little Girl Was So Proud

Arriving at the hospital, Xia Yu got in touch with Cai Yanyan’s roommate who was anxious to leave. Before leaving, she said to Xia Yu, “The doctor said that she was slightly alcoholic, and she can go back to rest after the infusion. I still have something to do, so I will not accompany you then. Sorry to bother you.”

Xia Yu said, “It’s okay. Just go ahead. Thank you so much today.”

After sending away Cai Yanyan’s roommate, Xia Yu came to the door of the ward, gently opening the door and walking in. She saw four sickbeds were placed in the room, and three of them were already occupied.

Cai Yanyan was lying on the second bed on the left-hand side and was on a transfusion.

Seeing that Xia Yu came in, the white-faced Cai Yanyan waved her hand weakly. “Xia Yu…”

Xia Yu hurriedly walked over. Looking at Cai Yanyan’s weak appearance, she frowned and whispered, “I told you not to drink so much, but you didn’t listen to me. You deserve it.”

Cai Yanyan just had such a hard time. Her eyelids were weak and half-hanged. She replied in a low voice, “I don’t know why it happened.”

Xia Yu reached out and touched the head of Cai Yanyan. It was not hot.

“Have you eaten anything? Do you want to eat anything else?”

After she said this, Cai Yanyan’s facial features puckered with an evasive expression. She said in an undertone, “Don’t talk about eating with me. I want to vomit.

“Now you just know the consequence.” Xia Yu felt both hateful and distressed.

“I know it. Don’t yell at me anymore.” Cai Yanyan nodded again and again. “Well, I heard that you bumped into your head and lived in the hospital as well. Does it still hurt now?”

“The pain has gone away for a long time.” Xia Yu skated over it and didn’t want to mention it anymore.

Seeing her vigorous expression, Cai Yanyan deemed that it might not be a big deal. Her eyes fell on Xia Yu’s wrist, and she was stunned at this moment. Then she said, pointing to the bracelet Xia Yu wore. “Xia Yu, your bracelet?”

“Shen Yan’s grandma sent it to me.” Xia Yu was still in a muddle now. She really couldn’t figure out why Old Madame sent her a bracelet.

“It proves that I’m right.” Cai Yanyan said with a surprise. “You have seen her family. Congratulations to you!”

“I have long seen them already. Do you have to say it in this way?” Xia Yu laughed.

“That’s not the same. It seems that I have to save some money as a red packet.” Cai Yanyan said.

“Red packet is a good thing, and you can give it to me at any time. I won’t disdain it.” Xia Yu said.

“Don’t think so well. I only give it to you when you get married, not at ordinary times.” Cai Yanyan said with a smile, and her head turned dizzy then as she smiled too hard.

Alcoholism was just like this, and the symptoms of alcoholism were dizziness and nausea, which were like vertigo. No one could expect that Cai Yanyan would drink to the point of entering the hospital. If someone had known it earlier, she would not have been allowed to drink so much.

Xia Yu rushed to serve her before the sickbed, handing the water and satisfying everything she needed.

After a while, Cai Yanyan asked with a low voice, “I heard that a handsome boy was chasing Lv Wushuang, right?”

She reminded Xia Yu of that day when the boy came to Lv Wushuang after she left with these words. She didn’t know how their talk was. “It seems to be true, but she is a little hesitant still.”

“Why is she hesitant? Foolish girl!” Cai Yanyan said with a weak voice. After this year, she would be one year older, not young anymore.

“It makes sense. I’ll ask her.” Sitting on the side of the bed, Xia Yu took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Lv Wushuang.

Putting down the phone, Xia Yu sat on the side of the bed, chatting with Cai Yanyan.

Cai Yanyan asked, “What time is it now?”

Xia Yu looked at the watch. “Before five.”

“It’s so late.” Cai Yanyan looked surprised and anxious.

Xia Yu asked, “What? Do you still have something to do?”

Cai Yanyan said, “I have found a part-time job, teaching foreigners to speak Mandarin, which is scheduled at six o’clock in the evening.”

Xia Yu heard it and raised her eyebrows. “You work so hard.”

Cai Yanyan rolled her eyes at Xia Yu. “I don’t want to work so hard. But the eldest Mister of Shen Family has been engaged. The second Mister is your boyfriend now. The third Mister is so young. I don’t like to rob the cradle. What if I don’t fend for myself?”

Xia Yu smiled and said, “Shen Family is not the only family in S city which is so large. The street is full of men, and you can pick anyone.”

Cai Yanyan laughed. “I can pick out no one when I’m serious, not to mention when I’m casual.”

“But you can’t just make money but ignore your health.” Xia Yu said with some distress.

“I know it, but I have already taken the job. You also know that foreigners are not flexible at all. If I ask for leave, they will say that I break the contract.” It was really hard to make money.

Since she said so, it was inappropriate for Xia Yu to say anything then. The transfusion ended at 5:10 p.m., and Xia Yu helped her to sit up from the sickbed.

Cai Yanyan said, “It’s okay. You don’t have to be so nervous. I am not so delicate.”

Xia Yu said with worry and disdain. “If you were strong, you would not enter the hospital.”

Cai Yanyan put on her shoes and smiled. “The doctor also said that I didn’t have great capacity for liquor, but I still drank too much. He was uncertain whether I would get better capacity for liquor, but I would not lack gut definitely.”

Xia Yu found it both funny and annoying. Originally, she wanted to accompany Cai Yanyan to have dinner. But as a result, her phone rang before she could get out of the hospital. It was Zhang Peng’s call.

Xia Yu picked it up. “Hello?”

On the mobile phone, Zhang Peng said with a dying and weak voice, “Where are you? Have not you finished your work yet?”

Xia Yu said, “My friend is sick and hospitalized. I came to the hospital to see her.”

Zhang Peng said, “How come you have so many things to do? I’ve cooled my heels.”

Xia Yu said, “Eat some food if you are hungry. I don’t know when I’ll be free and whether I can come over.”

Zhang Peng said stubbornly, “If you don’t come to see me, I have to go to hospital as well because of my hungry stomach. Then I’ll see if you have a conscience.”

Xia Yu said, “Wait for me for another hour, and then I will call you.”

Zhang Peng almost broke out on the other end of the line and raised his voice. “One more hour? Do you know how long I have been hungry?”

Xia Yu listened to his complaints, wanting to laugh. Would he make himself starve?

Cai Yanyan heard it and just knew who was on the other end of the line. She lowered her voice and said to Xia Yu, “Just go to see him. I am also anxious to go to the students and have no time to eat dinner.”

Xia Yu hesitated for a while, and Cai Yanyan persuaded her with a few words. Then Xia Yu said to Zhang Peng, “Alright. I’ll look for you now. Where are you?”

When Zhang Peng heard this, he finally stopped talking. He said, “I am at home. I want to eat hot pot.”

Xia Yu said, “Well, I’ll treat you to the hot pot. You just call Yang Ke’er. I will call Shen Yan after a while.”

Zhang Peng said, “Why should I call her? Do you have so much money to waste?”

Zhang Peng said and blinked at Yang Ke’er on the side, meaning that I said that Xia Yu was not so narrow-minded, but you did not believe it.

Yang Ke’er curled her lips and didn’t say anything. If she was generous, why didn’t she call her when she went to Shen Family today?

“It’s my money, and you don’t have to worry about it. Just call her, or I will call her myself as I have her number.” Xia Yu replied calmly.

Zhang Peng heard the words and quickly replied, “Okay, I’ll call her. You just come over to Ruyi Restaurant now, and I’ll make a reservation.”

Hearing the words Ruyi Restaurant, Xia Yu lifted her eyebrows. It seemed that Ruyi Restaurant was really popular in S city. Even Zhang Peng, an owner of the restaurant, often patronized there.

Hanging up the phone, Xia Yu said to Cai Yanyan next to her, “Where are you going? I will send you there.”

Cai Yanyan said, “No need. You have an appointment with Zhang Peng. Just go ahead.”

“Then I will call you a car.” A taxi stopped just in time. Xia Yu waved her hand and walked over with Cai Yanyan.

Cai Yanyan got on the car and waved her hand to Xia Yu. “Just go ahead.”

After Xia Yu saw Cai Yanyan leave, she planned to hail another taxi. At this time, a luxury car came over, and an assistant-looking man walked out of it.

“Miss Xia, President Li wants to talk to you.” The assistant-looking man said politely.

“President Li?” Xia Yu glanced in the direction of the car, faintly seeing a man in his fifties sitting inside.

It was Li Wen’s father.

“But I have an appointment.” Li Wen was so arrogant, and his arrogance must be spoiled by his parents. Xia Yu really didn’t want to have anything to do with them. She couldn’t help clenching her hand with which she grabbed the bag. Should she call Shen Yan? She couldn’t make a decision immediately.

Maybe seeing that Xia Yu was hesitant, the assistant said, “President Li just wants to ask you for some information. You can rest assured that he will not make it difficult for you.”

She could not be at ease definitely. But President Li had made the requirement, and she really didn’t dare to refuse him. Walking over uneasily, she said, “President Li, do you want to see me?”

“I have something to ask you. Get on the car.” President Li was amicable and even smiled at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu’s hanging heart slowly fell. The assistant pulled the door open and invited Xia Yu to get into the car. Xia Yu had no choice but to get on the car.

“President Li, what can I do for you?”

President Li sized up Xia Yu and then said with a smile, “Don’t be nervous. Just regard it as a chatting with an ordinary man. I have heard that Shen Yan has a very capable secretary, and today is our official meeting.”

“President Li, you are flattering me. I do not deserve it.” Xia Yu said modestly.

“Now the young people are rarely as modest as you. Great! You are really great!” President Li nodded. After saying a few polite words, he got right to the point. “You have already known Li Wen. What do you think of him?”

He came here for Li Wen indeed. Xia Yu quickly glanced at him and quickly turned her eyes away. “There was some misunderstanding between Young Master Li and me. I’m really sorry for the thing which happened yesterday.”

“My son really has a big temper. He made a scene in the club and also beat Young Master Du. Even Miss Xia was implicated and sent to the hospital. That is indeed his fault. After he comes out, I’ll let him apologize to you.” President Li was reasonable. Though his son did wrong, he didn’t incline to him.

“President Li, that’s very kind of you. It is an accident, and I am fine now.” Xia Yu said quickly. She would be satisfied if you asked your son not to make trouble anymore. And she didn’t need any apology at all.

Of course, Xia Yu just thought it in her heart, not daring to speak it out.

“Miss Xia is really a reasonable person. It’s no wonder that even my son keeps praising you. I don’t know if Miss Xia is interested in joining Li Group. To tell the truth, I can’t be relieved no matter who follows my son as he is too petulant. But he admires and respects you so much, Miss Xia. As long as you promise to join us, we can give you another 30% of your present salary in Shen Group.” President Li knew that Xia Yu was a person who knew where she stood. Besides, being combined with his former knowledge of her from the side-on, he thought that she was pretty good and intended to meet her son’s wishes. He would let her join Li Group.

Xia Yu finally knew who Li Wen learned his arbitrary temper from. His father was like this, and it was no wonder that Li Wen was the same as he was influenced by what he constantly saw and heard.

He asked Xia Yu to join them, but the premise was that Xia Yu was interested in it.

Xia Yu smiled and said, “I am very grateful for your kindness, President Li. But at present, I have no plan to change my job.”

Was she refusing him? President Li was stunned for a while. The man who invited her was the president of Li Group, and it was such a big honor. This little girl was so proud.

President Li’s face looked a little sulky, but he still tried hard to restrain himself. This girl wouldn’t be easy to deal with as she could keep Shen Yan in check. Since he took the initiative to find her, she would naturally raise her price. So, he might as well listen to what she would say next. “Give me a reason.”
