Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 927: Chapter 901: How Could This Happen

Qian didn’t hesitate and immediately called Yu Minglang.

”Mei, what’s going on?”

”Can you find someone to check where Shi Yu is now, and if she’s at home or has something happened to her?”

”I’ll find someone right away. Did something happen?”

”I don’t know, she contacted me last night.”

”I just got off the phone with Qiao Zhen this morning, didn’t hear anything, but because of work, Qiao Zhen’s wedding is postponed. Could Shi Yu be upset because of this?”

”It’s possible; anyway, let’s find her first.”

Qian didn’t know what had happened, but she vaguely felt that it might not be as simple as a mood swing.

If a few years ago, Shi Tou might have run away from home on a whim, Qian knew that the current Shi Tou was not a childish kid.

What exactly has this girl gotten herself into!

Qian stood at the entrance of the business hall and thought for a moment, with no leads for the time being, she could only wait for Xiaoqiang’s conclusion.

”Mr Chen?”

Qian turned around and saw a middle-aged man standing behind her with a bag of fruit, all soaked by the rain.

”It’s you, why come out in such heavy rain?”

This man was a filial son Qian met at Central Hospital while hiding from Mr. Qio. His father had a terminal illness and wanted psychological counseling to adjust his mindset. Qian had helped his father with several counseling sessions.

”The old man wants to eat fruit, I bought him some. Alas, it might be the last surge of energy; these days he’s eating and sleeping better than before.”

”I’m so sorry...”

”Please, don’t say that! If it weren’t for your free treatment, my dad wouldn’t have lasted this long. Even the doctors say it’s a miracle. His cancer has spread throughout his body, but he’s still holding on. My son just finished his college entrance exams, and his estimated scores are good, no problem getting into a top university. He was so moved when he heard your story that he also wants to apply for your specialty.”

The old man’s greatest wish was to see his grandson get into college. Previously thinking he wouldn’t make it, he held on with Qian’s help, fulfilling his wish. Therefore, the family saw Qian as if she was their savior, insisting on chatting with her and gifting her a big peach.

Holding the peach, Qian thought of when Shi Tou made juice for her with a blender. Shi Tou, where have you gone?

Shi Yu woke up amidst the smell of disinfectant and opened her eyes to see a snow-white ceiling.

Where... is this?

”You’re awake.” A gentle voice came, and Shi Tou looked over to see a very strange man standing by the window.

Calling him strange wasn’t because he was unattractive. On the contrary, he was gentle as jade, like a graceful scholar from a historical drama. However, his attire differed from ordinary people; this man wore a long white robe, his hair was semi-long, loosely tied, tall and lean, looking almost androgynous. If not for the Adam’s apple, it would be hard to tell his gender from appearance alone.

”Who are you...?” Shi Tou only remembered waiting in the rain for Qian, exhausted to the point of fainting.

”You can call me Huaoli.”

”Big flower cat?”

”... It’s Huaoli.”

Such a strange name.

Shi Tou pinched herself; this wasn’t a dream, and she hadn’t traveled back in time. It was obviously a hospital room!

”Are you a doctor?”

”Yes, I’m a psychiatrist.”

”I don’t have a mental illness. Why am I here?” All Shi Tou could feel was physical exhaustion.

”You fainted, someone brought you in.”

”Oh, how much is the medical fee? I’ll pay.” Shi Tou still couldn’t understand why a psychiatrist was here.

”No need, someone already settled it for you.”

”Who paid?” Why does my head feel muddled, as if something’s missing?

Did I hit my head when I fainted?

”Don’t ask what you shouldn’t know.” Huaoli’s voice was particularly gentle, not with emotional warmth but with a tone of familiarity, an emotional warmth yet emotionally detached. Hmm, why is this familiar?

I remember!

Qian!

When Qian hypnotized people, she used this voice!

”Are you a psychiatrist?” Shi Tou asked another question.

Huaoli shook his head, ”I studied clinical psychology abroad, equivalent to Asian psychiatrics. We call it psychiatry, but I have prescription rights and can also do what your domestic psychologists do.”

You all.

Shi Tou guessed this guy might be a foreign Chinese or Asian descent. Although his Chinese was fluent, listening carefully, there was something a bit peculiar about it, a soft tail accent, yet not unpleasant.

Shi Tou wanted to leave this place; she wasn’t in the mood to lie in bed, and she didn’t have the energy to ponder why this strange man was here. Her mind was a mess.

As soon as she left the ward, she saw Qian and Dai Yi approaching. Qian was soaking wet, her hair sticking to her face. Such an image-conscious Qian didn’t even have time to change clothes and ran over.

”Shi Tou Yu!” Qian felt her heart warm on seeing her and hurried over, Shi Tou also wanted to run, but her vision was fuzzy.

”Slow down!” Qian held her, and seeing Shi Tou brought a sense of relief to her heart.

”You! Why didn’t you wait in the car for me? You fainted getting soaked in the rain, seriously! Fortunately, the guard notified Xiaoqiang, or who knows how long it would have taken to find you.”

Only upon seeing Shi Tou did Qian finally breathe a sigh of relief.

A pretty young girl disappearing isn’t good news, luckily we found her.

”Exactly, when Qian called to tell me, I was worried sick too.”

Dai Yi, after hearing Shi Tou was missing, rushed over despite Second Brother’s instructions to rest.

”When Qian called you, it connected at once?” Shi Tou, seeing her two friends arriving, wasn’t just ungrateful but even a bit angry.

Her true feelings at the moment were: Qian and Dai Yi, as sisters-in-law, have such a good relationship, the call connected right away. But when I looked for you two for so long last night, not once did it connect!

Shi Tou felt uncomfortable; she held her head in confusion.

Huh? Why was she having such strange emotions?

She felt a bit off; was she always this petty?

”Are you feeling unwell from the rain?”

Qian saw Shi Tou holding her head and thought she caught a cold from the rain.

”Do you want to stay in the hospital for observation and an IV drip?”

”Yes, stay in the hospital for a while. We’re worried about you like this,” Dai Yi echoed.

”You all? Then what do I count as?” Huh? Shi Tou covered her mouth; what exactly was she saying?
