After lunch everyone was too exhausted to function.
Shi Mei, Ye Tiao, Tang Jingming, and Gao Lian quickly split into two groups and dispersed.
Ye Tiao told Tang Jingming they should go see Shi Lingyan, but Tang Jingming insisted on bringing Shi Mei along.
However, Shi Mei was very adamant and coldly stated, "No, we have no relationship anymore, there’s no need to linger."
Tang Jingming hesitated, "Even if you’re divorced, you can still be friends..."
But Shi Mei ignored him and turned to leave. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel{f}ire.net
Tang Jingming and Ye Tiao could only give up resentfully and left quickly.
Only Shi Mei returned home alone, thinking she would surely fall asleep early after such a tiring day.
However, as soon as Shi Mei closed her eyes, she heard the doctor’s words over the phone.
She tossed and turned, unable to sleep at all.
Neither Tang Jingming nor Ye Tiao made a single phone call back, nor showed any intentions of returning, so Shi Mei was left alone at home until late at night.
Eventually, Shi Mei abruptly got up and decided to take a hot bath before coming out.
By the time she was out, there were already several missed calls on her phone.
All from Tang Jingming and Ye Tiao.
Shi Mei returned a call to Ye Tiao; the call connected quickly, but no one answered.
Ye Tiao was holding a hand of cards, her face covered in paper, surrounded by seven or eight people, each with a drink beside them.
Hearing the phone ring, Ye Tiao glanced at the caller ID, nudged Tang Jingming, and said, "Answer it, your sister, ace of spades!"
"Ah?" Tang Jingming was confused, looking down at the contact name, it was clearly Shi Mei.
Little Shimei was several years older than him, how could she say that!
Tang Jingming glared at her irritably and picked up the phone.
Meanwhile, Shi Lingyan, hearing that "your sister," subtly moved his eyebrows and emotionlessly played a pair of twos.
"Hello," Tang Jingming answered naturally, "Little cutie, where are you?"
"I’m at home," Shi Mei replied, hearing some noise from his end, "Why haven’t you come back?"
"We’re playing cards and drinking, why don’t you come over too? Brother Xu Cuo’s friends are here, along with Sister Ye and Brother Shi."
"Drinking?" Shi Mei’s eyelids twitched, "You’re still drinking at this time? Is Shi Lingyan drinking too?"
"Yes," Tang Jingming didn’t see anything wrong and continued, "Come join us, it’s really fun. If you come, it’ll be even livelier, come on, you’re alone at home anyway..."
"Are you fucking insane?" Shi Mei’s voice almost burst through the phone, "Don’t you know how Shi Lingyan is right now, what condition he’s in, and you still let him drink?"
Tang Jingming was stunned by the yelling, "It’s... not high alcohol content, it’s fine..."
Shi Mei felt like her brain was exploding with fury and roared, "Go to hell! Tang Jingming, is your brain stuffed with shit?"
Tang Jingming was bafflingly cursed, recognizing the familiar tone, he felt extremely wronged, "It’s not like I made him drink, he insisted... what can I do..."
"Fuck!" Shi Mei really wanted to strangle him, shouted furiously, "Give me the address."
Tang Jingming gave the address, and Shi Mei immediately hung up the phone.
Tang Jingming felt extremely aggrieved, "She cursed me, really harshly, what did I do wrong?"
No one responded to him.
Ye Tiao shouted excitedly, "Royal flush! Hahahaha, pay up!"
