Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Master Jue Has a Stomach Ache and Refuses Medication
Li Beijue didn’t come home all night.
Chi Enen felt even worse inside.
She tried to divert her attention and not keep thinking about him.
But it was as if her heart was being gripped somewhere; even when playing with Baby Chi, there was a part of her heart that was painfully tugging.
Even Baby Chi could tell her mood was off and tentatively asked if she had quarreled with The Neighbor Old Wang.
Chi Enen shook her head and denied it, not wanting to pass on the emotions of adults arguing to the child.
However, Baby Chi clearly didn’t believe her and was uncomfortably well-behaved.
Chi Enen’s mood was down, and her appetite was gone; she only ate a little for lunch before putting down her chopsticks.
Baby Chi blinked his large eyes at her several times, hesitating to speak.
There was a knock at the doorway.
He immediately hopped off the chair, “I’ll go open the door.”
With a pitter-patter, he stomped over to the entryway in big slippers, puffing up with anger.
He held his breath as he walked.
The Neighbor Old Wang was too hateful! Just the day before yesterday, that woman from his place had eagerly bought him a birthday gift and prepared a birthday surprise, but yesterday he bullied his own woman, causing her to be so sad today.
He huffed and yanked the door open to find that it wasn’t The Neighbor Old Wang but Huo Yi. He paused, then called out in a tender voice, “Uncle Huo?”
He really wanted to ask about The Neighbor Old Wang.
But he was afraid that asking would devalue his own family’s woman.
So he swallowed his anger back down.
Huo Yi, unaware of his complex thoughts, asked, “Little Young Master, is Miss Chi at home?”
Huo Yi walked in and found Chi Enen. With a grave expression, he bowed to her, his face somber, “Miss Chi, please do something about Master Jue, he has a stomachache and refuses to eat.”
“He won’t eat?” Chi Enen was somewhat incredulous.
“Yes, since last night’s quarrel with Miss Chi, Master Jue hasn’t eaten anything and has been drinking recklessly. This afternoon, he started having stomach pains, and until now he refuse to take medication or eat anything,” Huo Yi looked at her disapprovingly, “Miss Chi, you know Master Jue’s temperament, please don’t be mad at him. Master Jue is just stubborn but soft-hearted; he can’t bear to torment you, so he only torments himself.”
Chi Enen felt really wronged; she genuinely didn’t intend to quarrel with Li Beijue. From the beginning to the end, he was the one who got angry, he was the one who stormed out slamming the door, and he never gave her a chance to avoid the argument.
But turning to alcohol to drown his sorrows and ending up with a stomachache was all his doing.
Chi Enen felt she couldn’t explain herself even with a thousand mouths; all she could do was accept Huo Yi’s criticism with a nod, “I’ll be more cautious in the future.”
Huo Yi still trusted her character and reverted to a respectful demeanor, his face full of concern, “Miss Chi, do you have any way to persuade Master Jue?”
“I’ll think about it.” Chi Enen pondered for a moment and said, “Maybe I’ll make something and send it over.”
She was willing to bring Master Jue a meal, and naturally, Huo Yi could not ask for more, immediately offering to help look after Baby Chi.
No matter how upset Chi Enen was with Li Beijue, she still couldn’t bear the thought of him in pain, so she quickly went into the kitchen and prepared two dishes, which she placed in a thermos bucket and left—
Huo Yi had arranged for a car to take her, so Chi Enen did not have to hail a cab outside.
Soon, the car smoothly stopped in front of Li Beijue’s company in Rainy City.
Chi Enen was visiting his company in Rainy City for the first time; as soon as she got out of the car, she was awestruck by the magnificent architecture of the company.
She had been to Gu Group once before and seen what a listed group looked like, but the building in front of her was much larger and taller than Gu Group.
