Chapter 349: Chapter 347 Does He Just Annoy People So Much?
「In the hospital.」
Si Junyan writhed in agony throughout the day and only occasionally found respite in sleep at night, appearing as if nothing was wrong. His wounds were gradually healing. Countless doctors came to observe, and after examination, they all cautioned, "It might be phantom limb pain. The specific cause is unclear, but the wound has not worsened, so his life is not in danger."
"Then why does it hurt so much? AHH—it’s so painful!"
Si Junyan tossed and turned in bed, soon drenched in sweat.
The attending doctor was frantic. "You’re not in a fatal condition anymore! What else can I do?"
He grabbed the doctor by the throat. "I want you to treat me! Do you hear me?"
The attending doctor was on the verge of suffocation.
Xinxin came in and kicked Si Junyan away.
"Crazy!"
The doctor was tearfully grateful. "Miss, his wound is really almost healed, but he keeps crying out in pain. We’ve checked his vital signs, and they’re normal. I suspect..."
"Suspect what?"
"Either he’s faking it, or he has psychological issues."
Xinxin furrowed her brows. Hmm?
Si Junyan crawled up from the ground, clinging to Xinxin’s foot like a lump of mud. "Save me! Please save me! I can give you money, as much as you want!"
Xinxin had no interest in dealing with him and kicked him away.
She ordered her subordinates, "Get a neurological scan done on him. If there’s a problem, find a psychologist to treat him."
With her instructions given, she left to report back.
「The hotel.」
"Adoptive Father—"
Xinxin pushed open the door and saw a figure flash out. She didn’t get a clear view of the person’s face but couldn’t shake off a familiar feeling.
Behind the screen, the man spoke indifferently, "What is it? Why are you so reckless?"
Xinxin regained her composure. "The attending doctor just examined Si Junyan. He said Si Junyan seems to have gone mad..."
BANG!
The man slapped his hand on the coffee table.
Xinxin immediately knelt on the ground. "Adoptive Father, it’s all my fault. I didn’t take good care of him."
She listened intently for any movement from inside. The man sighed. "Forget it. He’s useless. Find several good doctors for him. This man can’t die yet; I have important plans for him."
Xinxin was puzzled. Hmm?
"Alright! As you wish."
After leaving, Xinxin clenched her fists tightly. What a good-for-nothing. Compared to Si Yuhuan, he’s just trash. What use could he possibly have? That stubborn old man is making a mountain out of a molehill! Just find any doctor to handle him.
"Yes!"
Her subordinates nodded and smiled coldly.
Since the Young Lady had given the order, they wouldn’t hold back.
Xinxin was frustrated and agitated. She had the key but still couldn’t find the item. Could Si Junyan have hidden it? It seems that until the item is found, I can’t let him die!
Behind the screen, the man revealed a stern, rugged face. His salt-and-pepper hair didn’t make him look decrepit; instead, it made him appear even more vigorous and commanding.
His subordinate brought the child up.
The man weighed the child in his hands, frowning. "Too frail. If this continues, he won’t live a long life!"
The subordinate immediately knelt. "Boss, please calm your anger. We’ve already found the best nutritionist. We’ll definitely ensure he lives well. It’s just that the little one was born prematurely and is very weak, with a congenital heart defect. If surgery isn’t performed in time, he probably won’t survive past five."
"Five years old? That’s enough!"
The man pinched the child’s cheek and laughed coldly.
...
「The villa.」
Si Yuhuan sat in the dining room, looking at the lunch meticulously prepared by the chefs, and couldn’t help but frown.
"Director Si doesn’t like it?" Yan Qing instantly understood his thoughts. "Shall we call Madam? Maybe she has already prepared food. We could go over now and also discuss how to save someone!"
Si Yuhuan’s lips curved slightly. "That makes some sense."
「Half an hour later.」
「Fuyuan Official Residence.」
Jian Xi was just about to head downstairs to make some lunch. After eating, she planned to check out the psychology books Huang Ying had prepared for her when the doorbell rang.
"Si Yuhuan?"
Seeing who it was, she frowned.
"Madam, Director Si was hoping you could look after him for a bit. I need to be constantly identifying and pursuing information, so you see... he’s injured, and it’s quite inconvenient for me to..."
Jian Xi’s lips twitched. "I leave for just one day, and you’re already so busy you don’t even have time to look after your own boss? Yan Qing, your work performance lately has been very..."
"He’s already having a tough enough time," Si Yuhuan interjected. "Since you don’t want to be with me anymore, then forget it..."
After he finished speaking, Si Yuhuan turned to leave. Jian Xi quickly grabbed him. "Stop it! For my son’s sake, I’ll tolerate you."
Si Yuhuan retorted stubbornly, "Don’t force yourself. I never said I absolutely had to stay here."
"I’m offering, alright? Now, Director Si, please come in."
Jian Xi waved at Yan Qing. "Go on, get busy. And make sure you find him, or else..."
She smiled, revealing a row of small, white, rather bloodthirsty-looking teeth.
"Yes, Madam!" Yan Qing was sweating profusely.
When the couple quarrels, it’s the subordinate who suffers.
DING!
Yan Qing glanced at his phone. The huge transfer amount displayed on the screen immediately made his heart surge, filling him with energy. "Rest assured, Director Si, Madam, I will definitely not betray your trust! I’ll get to work right away!"
Jian Xi’s temple twitched. Has this guy been injected with chicken blood or something?
"I’m hungry." Si Yuhuan sat on the couch, hand clutching his stomach. He looked much better than he had in the past few days.
Jian Xi walked over. "Are you thirsty, too?"
Is she actually being this considerate of me? Si Yuhuan wondered, then nodded.
"Alright, I’ll get that ready for you. Just a moment."
An hour later, the doorbell rang again.
Jian Xi went to open the door.
Eight delivery guys were lined up at the doorstep.
"What are you staring at? Come and help!" Jian Xi yelled to Si Yuhuan inside.
Si Yuhuan came over.
Milk tea, pizza, burgers, stir-fried dishes, stewed soup, and several exquisite desserts topped with an abundance of fruit.
She pointed at the table laden with a dazzling array of food. "Eat up. There’s everything you could want—appetizers, main courses, desserts—nothing’s missing."
Si Yuhuan’s mouth twitched. "Is this how you take care of a patient? Jian Xi, you have no conscience."
"If I had no conscience, I’d have chased you out with a big stick by now! Si Yuhuan, are you trying to take advantage of me? Do you expect me to be your free nanny?"
Jian Xi glared at him. "Just because you’re unwell, I’m supposed to wait on you hand and foot? You have hands and feet; eat by yourself!"
She dumped the food into Si Yuhuan’s arms and stormed upstairs in a huff.
Does this man think I don’t know he’s doing this on purpose?! We haven’t even found our son yet, and he expects me to play kitchen maid every day? If we really found him... I’d be willing to cook for him for a lifetime.
The thought startled Jian Xi.
"Pah, pah, pah!" she muttered. "Who said I’d cook for him for a lifetime? I’m not that bored!"
Just then, Li Bin called.
"CEO Jian, there’s news."
"Hmm?"
Jian Xi hurried downstairs.
Desperately hungry, Si Yuhuan had no choice but to pick up a slice of pizza. His face contorted as he ate. Seeing Jian Xi run down, he thought her conscience had finally kicked in and pretended to gag.
Jian Xi rushed past him without a pause and slammed the door as she left.
"Hey! I’m practically throwing up from this food! Didn’t you see?" Si Yuhuan yelled after her.
Her voice came back through the surveillance system, "Si Yuhuan, lock the door when you finally get out!"
Si Yuhuan was speechless. "..."
Does she really detest me that much?
