Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1283: 1282 The situation is serious

Due to the matters at Wen Jin Pharmaceutical Factory, the plan to spend the weekend in the countryside villa changed, and on Saturday, everyone returned to G City.

Yesterday, the biggest winners were Qin Mu and An Lin.

Their initial separation was ended by the sexy lingerie sent by Wen Ran; in the morning, seeing the kiss marks on An Lin’s neck, Wen Ran laughed happily.

The relationship between Bai Yiyi and Gu Kai didn’t improve.

As the Maybach entered G City, Bai Yiyi took a call and then had Gu Kai stop the car at the intersection ahead.

Gu Kai turned his head to look at her and asked indifferently, “What is it?”

“I’ve made an appointment with someone, it’s about pharmaceuticals, just stop at the intersection up ahead,” she replied.

Tongtong reached out for Bai Yiyi’s phone; she handed it to Tongtong and said tenderly, “Tongtong, call Auntie, soon you’ll go sit in another car with your brother and sister.”

“Okay.”

After all, Tongtong is just a child; though she likes being with her parents, she also wants to play with her brother and sister.

“Is it Zhang Siming?”

Gu Kai’s lips tightened a bit, and when he spoke again, his voice carried a hint of chill.

He hadn’t heard what the other party said, but from Bai Yiyi’s words, he guessed it was probably Zhang Siming.

That man, is he trying to use the situation at Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory to get close to Bai Yiyi and take advantage in the process?

Bai Yiyi, this foolish woman, Zhang Siming is just an insignificant person in the Drug Administration bureau, and she really thinks he can be of any help.

“Yes, it’s him.”

Bai Yiyi did not deliberately hide it; she didn’t explain just then because Gu Kai didn’t ask.

Given their current relationship, she felt she didn’t need to explain to him. If he asked, she would tell; if he didn’t ask, she would not mention it.

Hearing that, a shadow fell across Gu Kai’s handsome face, his lips pressed tightly together, and after a long silence, he said heavily, “Call Ranran.”

Retrieving the phone from Tongtong, Bai Yiyi dialed Wen Ran’s number.

After two rings, Wen Ran’s cheerful voice came through, “Hello, Yiyi, what’s up?”

“Ranran, stop at the intersection ahead. I’m sending Tongtong over to your car.”

Bai Yiyi suppressed her emotions, her voice was calm and gentle.

“Tongtong wants to come over? Okay, I’ll wait at the intersection ahead,” Wen Ran thought it was Tongtong wanting to find her siblings as she and Mo Xiuchen were ahead.

Without further explanation, Bai Yiyi hung up the phone.

“Qing Yang, stop at the intersection ahead,” Wen Ran hung up and instructed Qing Yang, who was driving. Mo Xiuchen, sitting beside her, asked softly upon hearing this, “Is Tongtong coming over?”

Wen Ran nodded with a smile, gently holding Momo’s little hand, “After being with her parents for so long, Tongtong finally wants to play with her brother and sisters.”

“Ranran, after I drop you home, I’ll visit the factory to see if there’s anything I can do to help Ah Jin,” Mo Xiuchen said with a warm tone, his eyes carrying a deep look.

The extended Bentley came to a stop; Wen Ran smiled at him, opened the car door, and got out, waiting for Tongtong.

After Gu Kai’s car stopped, Bai Yiyi got out of the car holding Tongtong. Wen Ran approached, “Tongtong, come, Auntie will hold you and we’ll go find your sister.”

Tongtong happily reached out her arms, Wen Ran picked her up and then had her say goodbye to Bai Yiyi; Tongtong did so.

Watching Wen Ran holding Tongtong getting into the car, before Bai Yiyi headed back to the Maybach, she said to Gu Kai, who rolled down the window, exposing half of his handsome face, “You can go. I’ll take a taxi.”

“It’s hard to get a taxi here. I’ll take you. Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you,” Mo Xiuchen insisted, his attitude far from pleasant. All his emotions were etched onto his handsome, sculpted face, his tone so heavy it was oppressive.

Bai Yiyi wanted to refuse, but Mo Xiuchen was already leaning over and had opened the door from the inside.

She hesitated, then got into the car.

Before she could fasten her seatbelt, Mo Xiuchen pressed down on the accelerator, and the car lurched forward.

Bai Yiyi’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly steadied herself and pursed her lips tightly, holding back the urge to curse out loud.

Beside her, Mo Xiuchen didn’t even glance her way, his thin lips uttered two words: “Where to?”

After fastening her seatbelt, Bai Yiyi gave the name of a coffee shop. Mo Xiuchen’s mouth curled into a mocking smirk, but he said nothing.

Silence again.

It was only a ten-minute journey, but without Tongtong in the car, Bai Yiyi felt as if the air was being sucked out, stifling to the point of breathlessness.

When they arrived outside the coffee shop, Mo Xiuchen stopped the car. Bai Yiyi said “thank you,” got out, and had barely closed the door when Mo Xiuchen floored the accelerator and sped off.

Bai Yiyi turned to look; the Maybach had already driven far away. She furrowed her brows slightly, pursed her lips again, and walked towards the entrance of the coffee shop.

As she entered the coffee shop, Bai Yiyi’s gaze swept across the hall until she saw Zhang Siming sitting by the window. Their eyes met, and Zhang Siming smiled and waved at her.

“Yiyi, sit down,” he said.

Before Bai Yiyi could reach him, Zhang Siming stood up to wait for her, gallantly pulling out a chair for her. Once she sat down, he returned to his seat.

“Yiyi, what would you like to drink?” Zhang Siming was delighted that Bai Yiyi had agreed to meet him.

Contrary to his cheerfulness, Bai Yiyi was not in high spirits. She knitted her brows slightly, her gaze wandering, indicating a mind elsewhere, “Just a cup of boiled water, please.”

“Alright.”

Zhang Siming’s gaze lingered on her face for a second. Thinking of something, he toned down his smile and instructed the waiter to bring a cup of boiled water.

After the waiter brought over the boiled water and left, Zhang Siming didn’t wait for Bai Yiyi to speak but took the initiative to say, “Things are a bit complicated. According to procedure, your new drug must also undergo retesting. Additionally, all of the problematic drugs have to be returned to the factory.”

“Return to the factory?” Bai Yiyi looked at Zhang Siming, astonished. “Aren’t the results still pending? How could this happen?”

“This is a decision by the bureau. The city is giving high priority to this medical incident and has specifically set up a task force to investigate. Just ten minutes ago, I got a call that the three patients were taken to the resuscitation room.”

“Is the situation that serious?” Bai Yiyi’s face went pale.

“Yes, it’s very serious. President Wen should have been notified as well,” said Zhang Siming, his expression growing solemn.

“Yiyi, if you’re worried, we can go to the People’s Hospital now,” he offered.

“Let’s go,” Bai Yiyi said, standing up immediately.

Without waiting for Zhang Siming to say more, she turned and walked away.

Zhang Siming’s gaze flickered. He took out his wallet, paid the bill, and caught up with her at the entrance, “Yiyi, my car is parked over there.”

Bai Yiyi took out her phone to call Wen Jin while asking Zhang Siming, “Can the three patients be transferred to Kangning Hospital?”

Zhang Siming shook his head, “No, Wen Jin Pharmaceutical Factory has a partnership with Kangning Hospital, and given the relationship between the Gu Family and Wen Jin, they need to avoid any semblance of impropriety.”

Seeing Bai Yiyi’s distressed look as if she was about to explode, Zhang Siming quickly added, “Yiyi, don’t be angry, this is what the higher-ups have decided.”
