Chapter 56 Business Trip
The next morning, I received a call from Assistant Luo as soon as I got up.
He told me that a VIP ward had been arranged for the hospital director's mother, and that the attending physician had been given the best medication.
We've already made contact with top doctors.
Only in this way could I face the dean.
So I tidied myself up, trying to make myself look less frail.
I took some medicine before going to the hospital to stabilize my condition, so that the hospital director wouldn't notice that I was not feeling well.
But when I saw the headmistress, I couldn't help but tear up.
The usually energetic old lady now looked sickly, listless, and lacking any energy.
When the headmistress saw me, she took my hand, squinted her small eyes, and looked apologetic.
"Xiao Tian, I'm sorry to have troubled you again. Xu Hu couldn't keep it from me and told me everything. Don't worry, the old lady wants to see you all a little longer, so don't worry about me."
It made my heart ache when she came to comfort me even though she was sick herself.
I don't understand how such a good person could get such a serious illness?
I don't know how my good relationship with Song Yafei turned out like this.
Thinking about all this, I couldn't help but shed tears.
It was only in front of the headmistress that I could be completely uninhibited.
The headmistress patted my hand tenderly, "Xiao Tian, everything will pass, okay?"
The hospital director's comforting words brought tears to my eyes, and I couldn't help but lie down by the bed and cry.
I don't know if it was for the dean's mother or for my lost love.
After crying, I chatted with the director for a few more minutes.
Xu Hu arrived shortly afterward, bringing with him a caregiver from the orphanage.
The childcare worker stayed in the room and chatted with the hospital director, while Xu Hu and I left the ward.
Once outside the room, Xu Hu scratched his head sheepishly, looking rather silly.
"Brother Tian, it's really not me saying this. The dean immediately guessed it was you when the conditions were suddenly changed to such a good level today."
"After all, among us, only you have the means to let her enjoy these things."
I guessed it too.
Xu Hu, being so honest, couldn't possibly hide anything from the headmistress's eyes.
I shook my head. "It's alright. Fortunately, the hospital director agreed to the treatment this time."
Xu Hu then brought up the issue of the childcare worker, saying, "Originally, I planned to stay and take care of the director, but the motorcade needed more people, so I had no choice but to have the childcare worker come and look after things."
Everyone is busy, so this arrangement is already quite good.
He then instructed me, "Brother Tian, you're also a patient, you can't keep going back and forth, you need to rest. I'll take care of things here, and I'll let you know if anything happens."
I nodded, without objection.
After all, I could fall ill at any time, and I couldn't afford to collapse in front of the headmistress, lest she be saddened.
Compared to their concern, I thought of Song Yafei, who still thinks I was faking it.
It's truly disheartening!
My body is severely overworked right now, and I don't have much time to move around each day. I need to rest most of the time.
After meeting with the dean, I wanted to go back to my old place to tidy up and take some design drawings back to the villa.
I just didn't want to wait until I got back and opened the door to find that a lot of things were missing from the small house; almost everything had been taken away.
I don't even need to guess to know that it was Song Yafei who did it.
She has the key to this house; she must have had all my things moved in.
Just as I took out my phone, I received a call from her.
She asked me, "Where?"
I replied to her, "My things are here in the small house. Where are they?"
There seemed to be someone on her end. After a slight pause and the sound of a door closing, she finally had time to speak to me.
"Assistant Luo, move your things back to the villa. You can go back and unpack at your leisure. Also, I'll be away on a business trip for a while, so eat well and call me back from home, okay?"
This isn't the first time she's acted on her own initiative; I'm used to it.
I just gave her a perfunctory response.
After hanging up the phone, I felt a rare sense of relief.
In the past, I always felt reluctant to see her go on a business trip, but now I feel relieved.
During Song Yafei's business trip, I went back to the studio, met with Professor Gan, and took on another job.
These design tasks do not need to be completed in the studio. You just need to bring the required design drawings to the employer for confirmation when the time comes.
Professor Gan also trusted him completely.
However, my body will become increasingly unable to handle it, and I will need to find a trustworthy assistant to handle some of the handover work.
Then I thought of Lin Qiuran.
He has been driving ever since he resigned from Song's company.
If he becomes my assistant, he only needs to go to the studio occasionally and run some errands for me; the rest of the time is still his own.
This way, he can earn double the money, which can be considered as some compensation from me.
After that, I asked Lin Qiuran to meet with me to discuss the matter.
At first, Lin Qiuran refused to agree.
He thought I was helping him out because I felt sorry for him being implicated in his resignation.
He only agreed after I told him it was to find someone trustworthy.
"Xiao Tian, with our relationship, you can just call me if anything comes up. Don't bring up money or anything like that, I don't want to hear it."
I shook my head. "When something happens, I need you to run around for me all the time, which takes up a lot of my time. You have to pay me, and it can't be less than what you paid before."
"If you don't agree to take the money, I'll find someone else."
Only then did Lin Qiuran agree to accept it.
Later, we sat and chatted for a while, and Lin Qiuran unknowingly started talking about his wife, Wu Qian.
It turns out that Wu Qian is already pregnant with her second child.
"No, she's been really irritable lately, and her emotions are all over the place. It's completely different from when she was pregnant with her first child. She's so irritable!"
"And she even said that she felt annoyed just seeing me, and that she was really disliked by me, which made me a little sad."
That's what he said, but when he talked about the funny things that happened during Wu Qian's pregnancy, his face was beaming with a happy smile that he couldn't hide.
This reminds me of the time when I had just married Song Yafei.
For a while afterward, I also thought about having a child.
I remember mentioning this to her before, but she always refused, saying she was too busy with work and couldn't let the company's affairs be delayed.
Looking back now, I realize they had already planned this all along.
From the very beginning, she was planning to take revenge. How could she possibly have given birth to my child?
Thinking back, these things were actually foreshadowed long ago.
I never imagined that the innocent Song Yafei would become so cunning.
But I brought this all on myself, so I have nothing to say about it.
After we finished talking about family matters, perhaps noticing my dejected expression, Lin Qiuran changed the subject.
"Tian'er, your illness can't be delayed. You need to go for a follow-up examination at the appointed time."
