"Alright, seeing you fighting alone is quite pitiful. Let me treat you to a meal, just today at noon. You choose the place and send me the location; I'll come pick you up."
I felt a headache coming on. Is Yu Shenglin sent by the monkey to be the comic relief?
But I do have to thank him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known about Li Dawei and Duranqing.
After thinking for a moment, I replied, "No need, thank you."
Yu Shenglin immediately called me: "You finally decided to reply! I thought you were going to cut ties with me."
"I..."
"Enough with the excuses. Hurry up and send me your location; I'm coming to get you."
"I really don't need it."
"Are you out of your mind?" Yu Shenglin cursed loudly, "I’m being nice here—what good does saying that do now?"
My mom cried even louder: "Now that things are like this, what can you do?"
"I'm breaking up with Li Dawei," I said firmly. "There's no way I'm marrying him."
"No way," my mom immediately rejected. "Li Dawei's parents are here; you have to go apologize to them. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not recognizing you as my daughter."
"Mom..."
"That's enough. Where are you? I'm coming to get you."
"I'm not going," I bit my lip. "I won't go to the hospital."
"Are you ignoring your mother's words?"
"Just leave this matter alone," I took a deep breath. "I'll handle it myself."
With that, I hung up the phone.
The next second, the phone rang again.
I hung up, and the phone rang again.
I hung up, and it rang once more.
I hung up repeatedly, and the phone kept ringing.
With a sigh, I blocked all the callers, including my distant relatives.
When I got home, I looked at the messages and missed calls on my phone, feeling suffocated.
I didn't know how to face these people or what their true intentions were.
I turned off my phone and tossed it aside.
The next day, I woke up and turned on my phone, seeing several messages from Yu Shenglin.
“Dong Xinran, Li Dawei is done for. Thank you so much.”
“And thanks for slapping Duranqing in the face.”
“Why aren’t you replying? Lost your voice?”
“Hey, don’t tell me it’s because you hit too hard and hurt your hand. If that’s the case, we’re not done.”
“Why are you being so difficult about having a meal with me? Do you look down on me?”
I was fuming: “Yu Shenglin, can you stop cursing?”
“Nope,” Yu Shenglin replied bluntly. “That’s just how I am; if you can’t handle it, tough luck.”
“You…” I gritted my teeth in anger. “I’m not going; find whoever you want.”
“Dong Xinran, if you don’t come, I’ll come find you.”
“How will you find me?”
“Do I not know where you work?” Yu Shenglin said smugly. “If you don’t come, I’ll go to your workplace. Don’t blame me for not giving you face then.”
This guy is really annoying.
"Alright, I'll send you the address."
Yu Shenglin finally seemed satisfied. "That's more like it. Hurry up, I'm waiting."
After hanging up the phone, I sighed helplessly.
I went to take a shower and change my clothes before heading to the hospital.
On the way, I caught many strange looks from people.
I knew it had to be because of the news online.
When I arrived at the hospital, my colleagues looked at me with various expressions.
Some were sympathetic, some were curious, some were in awe, and others looked down on me.
I went straight to my colleague and friend, Yang Lanfang.
"Lanfang, what's going on online?"
"I was just about to ask you," Yang Lanfang pulled me aside. "Xinran, is what they're saying online true?"
"What are you talking about?"
"About you and that handsome guy," Yang Lanfang raised her eyebrows teasingly. "Did you really do something with Li Dawei?"
"..." I pressed my lips together. "Where did you hear that?"
"Look." Yang Lanfang handed me her phone.
I took it and almost spat blood when I saw the screen.
