After Tong Qiao was done with her work and closed her laptop, her cell phone rang. It was Fu Zhilei. Tong Qiao frowned. Annoyance flashed across her eyes. She swiped her finger across the screen and hung up the call.
She threw her cell phone on the bed and went into the bathroom with her pajamas.
After a while, Tong Qiao came out of the bathroom. She bent over to pick up her cell phone from the bedside table. She sat on the edge of the bed with one leg crossed and the other swinging leisurely. She unlocked her cell phone and saw an unread message from Fu Zhilei.
She was about to delete the message when she paused for a moment. Then, she opened the message.
Tong Qiao frowned when she saw the message. She had wanted to play some games before going to bed, but she was not in the mood. She put down her cell phone and lay on the bed. She stared at the ceiling and told herself in her heart, "Tong Qiao, don't believe her. Fu Zhilei is always thinking of ways to break you and Lu Jinshen apart. She can't be trusted."
But …
Even though she was telling herself that, Tong Qiao could not fall asleep.
After tossing and turning for a while, Tong Qiao sat up on the bed and dialed Lu Jinshen's number. "When are you coming back?"
After two seconds of silence, the man's deep and pleasant voice came through. "I might be a little late. Go to bed first. Don't wait up for me."
Tong Qiao frowned. Just as Fu Zhilei had said, she asked, "Are you still at your sister's place?"
There was another two seconds of silence. "… Yeah."
Tong Qiao looked down at the light gray sheets on the bed. She drew circles on them with her slender fingers. "There's nothing else. I'm hanging up."
After hanging up the phone, Tong Qiao recalled the faint sound of a car horn.
Tong Qiao had been to the Fu residence when she had met Fu Zhengyao. It used to be the General's residence, but it was now Fu Zhengyao's private residence. It occupied a large area and was located in a remote area in the suburbs.
There were people on duty every day.
The place was solemn and quiet.
How could there be car horns in such an environment?
Tong Qiao was a straightforward person. She didn't like to keep things to herself, and she didn't like to make wild guesses. Since she was worried, she would go and take a look.
Tong Qiao went to the cloakroom and quickly changed out of her pajamas. She put on a set of neat black sportswear, picked up the car keys on the table, spun them in her slender fingers, and went downstairs.
He started the car and left the villa.
On the way, Tong Qiao thought for a while and drove to the nearest hospital to the Fu residence.
It was nine o'clock when they got there.
Tong Qiao parked the car and entered the emergency department. She asked the nurse at the information desk if there was a patient called Sheng Yufei.
The nurse had a deep impression of this name and nodded.
Tong Qiao asked again, "Did a man come in with Sheng Yufei?"
The nurse nodded. "After bringing him in, he went straight to the emergency room."
Tong Qiao raised her eyebrows. "Carried?"
"Yes, the woman seemed to be in pain. I'm not sure if she had a fever, but her face was very red and she was soaking wet. She was even wrapped in a bath towel." The man who carried the woman was very handsome, but his face was very dark and gloomy. However, the woman seemed to like the man a lot. She didn't care that they were in public and kept rubbing against the man's arms. Her lips even kissed the man's chest through his shirt. This scene in the middle of the night was really unforgettable.
Tong Qiao's gaze turned cold in an instant. She frowned and curled her fingers slowly.
Soaking wet? Wrapped in a bath towel?
Lu Jinshen, I'm just having a meal with your sister. Why did you end up like this with your ex-wife?
Tong Qiao thanked her and strode towards the emergency room. Her footsteps created a strong wind, and she was very angry.
When she arrived at the emergency room, the doctor said that Sheng Yufei had already been treated and was transferred to a ward.
Tong Qiao wanted to know what illness Sheng Yufei was suffering from.
The doctor said that it was not good to disclose the patient's privacy, so he didn't say anything.
Tong Qiao arrived at the door of the ward that the doctor had mentioned. Through the small window at the door, she could only see Sheng Yufei lying on the bed in the ward. Lu Jinshen was nowhere to be seen.
Tong Qiao scanned the corridor and didn't see that tall figure. She frowned slightly and pushed the door open.
On the bed, Sheng Yufei's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were slightly closed. The back of her fair hand was connected to an IV drip. There were five bags of IV drips hanging on the IV pole, and only half of the bag was filled.
When Sheng Yufei heard the sound, she thought that Lu Jinshen had returned from the hospital procedures. She didn't open her eyes and said softly, "Lu Jinshen, I feel terrible."
Tong Qiao was angry when she heard that. What right did this woman have to call her man so intimately?
Also, it was just an illness. Did she have to be so pretentious?
Tong Qiao scanned the ward and reached out to drag a chair over. She didn't plan to sit down and deliberately made the chair scratch the ground.
When Sheng Yufei heard the noise, she frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes. The heat in her body had not completely subsided. The emptiness and heat in her lower abdomen were still moving, and she was still a little dizzy. After a few seconds, she finally saw the person's face clearly. "Tong Qiao?"
Tong Qiao had one hand in her trouser pocket and the other on the back of the chair. She looked down at Sheng Yufei coldly and disdainfully. "It's me."
"Why are you here?"
"You shamelessly pestered my man. Shouldn't I be here?"
Sheng Yufei wondered in her heart if Tong Qiao was here because of Lu Jinshen. Just as she was thinking, her cell phone rang. Sheng Yufei took out her cell phone and opened it. It was a message from Fu Zhilei: Sister-in-law, I've informed Tong Qiao about my brother sending you to the hospital. I can only help you this much. You'll have to rely on yourself for the rest. I don't want my brother to skin me alive, so I'm leaving.
Sheng Yufei smiled and looked at Tong Qiao. "Your man? Don't forget, he used to be my man too. "
Tong Qiao sneered. "Sheng Yufei, can you be more shameless? Lu Jinshen didn't touch you at all. Lu Ziqian is your and Xu Zihua's child. Do you think I don't know all these? "
A trace of darkness flashed across Sheng Yufei's eyes. She had already guessed that Lu Jinshen had told Tong Qiao everything in the past. Otherwise, with Tong Qiao's stubborn character, she wouldn't have agreed to marry Lu Jinshen so quickly.
However, how could a matter between a man and a woman be explained clearly with just a few words?
Even if they hadn't been together before, she had to say that they had been together before. Whether Tong Qiao believed it or not, she had to plant a seed of disgust in her heart.
Sheng Yufei quickly hid the emotions in her eyes. She looked at the movement at the door and smiled mockingly. "Ziqian is indeed not Jin Shen's child, but that doesn't mean that Jin Shen didn't touch me. We've been married for five years and spent more than a thousand days and nights together. You actually believe him when he says that he didn't touch me?"
Sheng Yufei didn't give Tong Qiao time to reply and continued, "You want to say that I'm Zihua's fiancée and that Jin Shen wouldn't touch his brother's woman? When a man's head gets hot and his nether regions get hard, why would he care so much when he's in the mood? Take you for example. You drank some wine and liked Jin Shen. Why would you care if he's married and has children? Didn't you still sleep with him? Women are like this, let alone men who are easily impulsive. "
