The 99th Divorce

It couldn’t be anyone else but his girlfriend.

Gu Yuansheng took a second look and felt a little uneasy.

Why was Dr. Shen’s other half calling him on his cellphone?

Had he done something wrong?

After running all the possibilities through his mind, Gu Yuansheng answered the call, “Hello.”

The voice sounded very young. When Fang Tongtong heard it, her eyes lit up. She said, “Hello. Is this Dr. Gu Yuansheng?”

“Um… Yes, it is, Sister-in-law.”

Sister-in-law?

Fang Tongtong was stunned at that sudden form of address, but she quickly realized who the guy thought she was.

“You’re mistaken. I’m not Shen Zhilie’s girlfriend. I’m his girlfriend’s best friend.”

Gu Yuansheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that and asked, “How did you get my number?”

“Um…” Fang Tongtong was a little embarrassed. She stumbled over her words for a moment before replying, “I wanted to get to know more people, so Old Shen gave me your name card.”

Gu Yuansheng nodded his head. He didn’t think much of it. He responded, “Is Sister-in-law with you right now?”

“No. Qianqian is at work. What’s up?”

“Well, since you called, I won’t keep it from you. Something happened to Brother Shen recently. Whatever he said about going back to the Capital today was all a lie. In fact, he’s injured. He didn’t want to worry his girlfriend, which is why he didn’t tell the truth.”

Fang Tongtong was horrified when she heard that. “No way!” she exclaimed. “Old Shen is injured? Is it serious?”

“Yeah, it’s pretty serious. His arm was stabbed four times, and they were all very deep. There were even glass shards lodged inside. One of them cut into an artery. He’s a lot better now after the blood transfusion, but it’s going to be hard for him to recover well without someone to look after him. However, this guy refuses to tell his girlfriend anything because he’s afraid that she’ll worry. We were just deliberating about whether to hire a caregiver for him.”

Hire a caregiver?

Caregivers were f*cking expensive!

Fang Tongtong blew a raspberry and said, “He doesn’t need a caregiver. Dr. Gu, why don’t you send me the address? I’ll come and take a look. If the injury is truly serious, I’ll let Qianqian know and have her look after Shen Zhilie.”

Gu Yuansheng was silent for a moment when he heard that. He finally replied, “Alright then. He’s at the Kingstown Huxin Hospital. Give me a call when you’re here. I’ll update you more then.”

“Alright. I’ll be right there.”

“Oh yes! Could you please bring some daily essentials for Brother Shen as well as some fresh clothes? Brother Shen doesn’t have a change of clothes in the hospital, and I can’t ask Sister-in-law for it.”

“Alright. I’ll pack some stuff. Thank you.”

Gu Yuansheng breathed a sigh of relief. “I should be the one thanking you. My colleague, Zhou, was considering buying some after work. You’ve spared us the trouble. How should I address you?”

“Miss Fang. F-A-N-G.”

“Alright. See you later.”

Fang Tongtong hung up the phone. She quickly changed her clothes and rushed out of the house to flag a taxi.

By the time she reached the hospital, it had already been 30 minutes.

Fang Tongtong called Gu Yuansheng on his cellphone as she walked into the Inpatient department. The call was promptly answered.

“Where are you?”

“I’m at the In-patient Department. I think I just saw you. Do you have long black hair? Are you wearing a white dress and carrying a black bag?”

“That’s right.” Fang Tongtong looked around and finally caught sight of a young man in glasses standing by the corridor.

He was sleek-haired and fair-faced. He looked very decent. He was also quite tall.

His eyes weren’t huge, and he had a high nose bridge. Wearing the white medical coat, he possessed a clean and pleasant demeanor.
