Mr. Ji sat there reading the newspaper, and when he saw that his son’s mood turned very bad after taking a call, his face also looked very ugly and worried. He asked, "How is the Ou Family boy doing now? Has he gotten any better?"
Looking up, Ji Chengzhi finally spoke, "How could he be okay? This has hit him too hard. Last night, I heard that after he woke up, he ran to the ICU and slept the whole night holding that woman."
Could such a thing even happen?
Hearing this, Mrs. Ji was quite astonished, "I wouldn’t have guessed. He always seemed so cold to everyone. Who would have thought he could be such a devoted lover."
Ji Chengzhi shook his head...
It was because she didn’t understand what had happened between those two. If she knew what kind of person that woman was, what she had gone through before and how in prison she had given birth to and raised a child, not even knowing who the father was, perhaps she would understand why that man suddenly held her in such high regard.
He did not continue the conversation with his parents. He grabbed his briefcase and left the Ji Mansion.
He had intended to go straight to the hospital, but as soon as he left the mansion, at the gate, he was surprised to see a person, a beautiful woman standing outside of a yellow Maserati.
Why would she come to his house early in the morning?
He recognized the woman and approached her, "Chenxi, what brings you here?"
La Chenxi was actually his senior at the university. That year, both he and Ou Mucen had been admitted to the same university, though they’d chosen different departments. He had studied medicine, while Ou Mucen had gone into financial management.
La Chenxi had been waiting there for quite a while. Seeing that he had finally come out, she quickly approached, "Chengzhi, I heard... Mucen is in a bad state. How is he now? He’s not in any trouble, is he?"
At that, Ji Chengzhi’s eyes flashed with suspicion, "Haven’t you been to the hospital to see him these past two days? Why come here to ask?"
La Chenxi shook her head hastily, "No, I was out of the country the last few days for a friend’s concert, they invited me to be a guest. I just got back today."
"Really?" Ji Chengzhi looked at her skeptically, not quite believing her story.
In fact, before she broke up with Ou Mucen, he had a very good impression of her. Back then, she was like a lily, beautiful and gentle, seeming to embody all the traits of a good girl.
But five years after the breakup, when she came back, he suddenly realized he didn’t quite recognize her anymore.
The once simple and kind girl had become worldly and calculating. For example, previously, in order to get close to Ou Mucen again, she had him add her to that gaming group under the pretense of wanting to make amends.
But as it turned out, once she joined, she acted like a spy, monitoring everything about his good friend.
And last time in Japan, if not for her, Ye Ning and Ou Mucen would not have fallen out so badly, and Ou Mucen almost lost his life there.
So now, as she stood in front of him, he couldn’t take her words at face value anymore as he would have in the beginning.
PS: I’ve collected a day’s worth of blades today, no, I mean kitchen knives, cannons, chainsaws... I’m so tired. Now at least I don’t have to worry about tomorrow.
Actually, a few clever readers might have already figured out the key that runs through the entire text—the ’Double Pupil’! Kudos to you!
