The car stopped in the underground parking lot. As soon as it came to a stop, Xu Qingzhu opened her eyes, her voice hazy and hoarse, "Have we arrived?"
Liang Shi nodded. "Yes, are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Xu Qingzhu yawned, saved and sent the plan, then tossed her computer in the back, unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. "Let's go see Weiwei first."
The two went upstairs together.
Thanks to Zhao Xuning's connections, Bai Weiwei was staying in a VIP suite on the top floor with full security facilities, in case she had another suicidal thought and jumped off the building.
When the two of them went upstairs, an argument was raging inside the building.
Zhao Xuning lowered her voice as much as possible, but her anger was still evident. "You've already driven her to jump off a building, isn't that enough? Does she have to be dead to be satisfied?"
"This is between the two of us, it has nothing to do with you." Another female voice sounded firm and indifferent. "You have to explain to me clearly what happened that night, otherwise I'll be wearing this green hat without knowing why."
“I’ve already explained it to you,” Zhao Xuning said. “When I found her, she hadn’t been assaulted. I just brought her back as a friend and gave her an antidote. She was already emotionally unstable. Are you trying to drive her to suicide by being so aggressive?”
"Did I want to drive her to her death? She wanted to drive me to my death." The woman's voice grew even more agitated. "Who doesn't know she used to have feelings for you? She's having a good time now, isn't she? Cuckolding me. Damn it, Bai Weiwei, I made a mistake in loving you!"
"Can't we talk about these things later?" Zhao Xuning tried his best to control his temper. "She's a patient right now, she just got off the operating table. Can we discuss relationship issues later?"
"Ha, of course you can. You're the one who cheated on me, not me! Of course you can."
"..."
"Zhao Xuning," Liang Shi called out, and the argument on the other end came to an abrupt end.
Xu Qingzhu jogged over and stood beside Zhao Xuning, sizing up the person opposite her. She frowned and asked, "Chen Liuying?"
Chen Liuying saw her, paused for a few seconds, and then raised an eyebrow and said, "Xu Qingzhu?"
“Yes,” Xu Qingzhu said, “This is a hospital ward. Can you please stop arguing? Arguing won’t solve anything. Instead, use this time to contact your studio and suppress all the negative news about you. That way, things will be a little easier for Weiwei once she recovers.”
Chen Liuying was taken aback. Instead of arguing with Xu Qingzhu like she had argued with Zhao Xuning earlier, she said impatiently, "I know."
She then sat on a bench in the corridor and took a cigarette out of her pocket.
Zhao Xuning kindly reminded, "Excuse me, this is a no-smoking area."
Chen Liuying: "..."
Xu Qingzhu and Liang Shi went into the ward to visit Bai Weiwei, while Zhao Xuning waited outside.
Bai Weiwei has already woken up.
She jumped out of the window. It wasn't as exaggerated as the internet made it out to be. She had just had a fight with Chen Liuying and jumped from the fifth floor. She landed on soft grass and injured her leg, so she had to have surgery. Right now, one leg is hanging in the air.
There were also minor abrasions on the face, but they weren't serious.
She sat on the hospital bed with a blank look in her eyes, holding an apple in her hand.
When Xu Qingzhu saw her like this, she couldn't help but want to cry, and immediately went forward to hug her tightly, "Weiwei."
Bai Weiwei's stiff body twitched slightly. She slowly turned around, a tear falling from her eye, and called out in a hoarse voice, "Zhu Zi."
As if to vent all the grievances she had suffered after waking up, her soft sobs turned into quiet whimpers, and then into loud wailing.
Xu Qingzhu kept comforting her, "It's okay, I'm here. Nothing happened that day. Don't be sad, it wasn't our fault."
Bai Weiwei just cried.
Liang Shi had always been unable to bear such scenes, and it made her want to cry as well.
She handed a pack of tissues to the two Omegas who were hugging and crying, then left the ward, leaving her two best friends alone.
Then they sought out Zhao Xuning to learn more about the situation.
Zhao Xuning didn't hide anything and told the whole story truthfully.
It's actually quite simple. Bai Weiwei is dating one of her own artists, but they haven't made it public yet. Chen Liuying, who is known as the "Number One A-list A in the Entertainment Industry," has a bad temper, is petty, and is extremely jealous. That persona was created by Bai Weiwei.
That day, when Zhao Xuning brought Bai Weiwei back to the hospital, they happened to run into Chen Liuying, who had twisted her ankle and was there for a check-up.
Bai Weiwei was not wearing any clothes, so Zhao Xuning wrapped his own clothes around her. Omegas in heat are attracted to Alpha pheromones. Zhao Xuning has always been chaste and had long hidden his pheromones, but he couldn't suppress Bai Weiwei's pheromones.
After meeting Chen Liuying, Bai Weiwei was very angry that she was being held by Bai Weiwei, and she was also jealous that Bai Weiwei was wrapped in her clothes. So, in a fit of anger, she tore off Bai Weiwei's clothes, and only then did she discover that Bai Weiwei was naked.
She was furious and immediately accused Bai Weiwei of having an affair.
After Bai Weiwei takes the inhibitor and falls into a deep sleep, she will confront Zhao Xuning.
Zhao Xuning tried to explain, but she didn't believe him.
Bai Weiwei was in slightly better health than Xu Qingzhu. She woke up after a day of rest, but on the same day she woke up, Chen Liuying had a big fight with her.
The noise caused Bai Weiwei to become emotionally agitated, rendering her inhibitors ineffective.
After Zhao Xuning gave her another dose of suppressants, he repeatedly told Chen Liuying not to provoke her anymore.
As a result, when Bai Weiwei woke up the next day, Chen Liuying had another argument with her.
This led Bai Weiwei to have a moment of despair, and she pushed open the window and jumped from the fifth floor. She was seen by onlookers, who filmed the incident and posted the video online.
This then sparked the online farce.
Liang Shi, who listened to the whole thing: "..."
Mixed feelings.jpg
It's surprising that Bai Weiwei was so quick to criticize the original owner, but she also misjudged people and ended up with such a scumbag woman.
Perhaps... those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly?
Liang Shi couldn't comment either.
She asked Zhao Xuning, "So how are you going to handle this?"
Zhao Xuning leaned against the wall and shook his head. "That's it."
Her calm voice carried a hint of weariness: "The innocent will remain innocent."
The problem is with Bai Weiwei.
Liang Shi suddenly asked gossipy, "Aren't you and Bai Weiwei really a couple?"
Zhao Xuning: "..."
After a long while, just when Liang Shi thought Zhao Xuning wouldn't say anything, Zhao Xuning shrugged and frankly admitted, "We were somewhat ambiguous when we played games together before."
"Then why aren't you together?"
Zhao Xuning fell silent once again.
After a while, she gave a wry smile, "I haven't forgotten my ex."
Liang Shi: "..."
Who knew he was such a romantic?
However, when they talked about personal matters, Liang Shi felt that the distance between them suddenly shortened.
Moreover, Zhao Xuning seemed to treat her much better, without the aloofness and disgust he felt when they first met.
The two of them stayed quietly in the hallway for a while.
Suddenly someone outside said, "You can't go in, Dr. Zhao isn't working today."
"Get out of the way." A cold female voice rang out.
Zhao Xuning's ears twitched slightly, and he recognized the voice of the person who came almost instantly.
Liang Shi gave a sympathetic wry smile. "They're looking for you again. Do you need me to go out and deal with them for you?"
Zhao Xuning put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, turned around and walked out, saying, "You can't get rid of this person."
Liang Shi: "..."
She patted Zhao Xuning on the shoulder and said, "Good luck."
Zhao Xuning's cool gaze swept over Liang Shi's hand, and Liang Shi pulled it back, smiling at her.
Zhao Xuning remarked, "You seem to be in a good mood today."
"Life feels wonderful," Liang Shi said. "So we should live happier lives."
Zhao Xuning: "..."
As she opened the door, she joked, "That's not Liang Shi at all."
Liang Shi didn't care. "He's still Liang Shi no matter what."
Zhao Xuning didn't answer again, but walked out and called out to the outside, "Chen Hui, I'm here."
Whether it was Liang Shi's imagination or not, it seemed that Zhao Xuning called out the name Shen Hui with a touch of tenderness.
This is nothing like the cold and aloof Zhao Xuning of usual.
With the mindset of "since I'm idle anyway, I might as well gossip for a while", Liang Shi opened the door and went out.
The corridor of the VIP ward was empty, except for Chen Liuying sitting on a bench at the end of the corridor, which was quite far from where they were.
Zhao Xuning stood next to a tall, thin girl.
Liang Shi could only see her back.
The other person was wearing a gray woolen coat with a good fit, and had long brown hair that reached his waist. He was about the same height as Zhao Xuning.
Liang Shi was on his way back to the ward to see if the two women had finished crying, so he had to pass by them.
As I passed by, I overheard Shen Hui say, "Here's your thing back. Don't leave anything at my house again."
Liang Shi: "...?"
Oh ho? Ex-girlfriend?!
Unable to contain his curiosity, Liang Shi glanced back, only to unexpectedly meet Shen Hui's gaze.
Shen Hui's eyes are very beautiful, with light brown pupils that are somewhat similar to her own eye color.
Shen Hui has very fair, milky skin, but she is excessively thin.
She seemed to have been born with a cold and indifferent face.
But Liang Shi felt that she looked very familiar.
I thought for a long time but couldn't remember where I had seen it before.
The only explanation for this emotion is that the original owner had seen it before and it left a memory in this body.
