“No worries. There were problems between us, so it has nothing to do with you guys.” Ye Qianqian was well aware. “Shen Zhilie and I were like a non-compliant house. We appeared grand and unshakeable. But, in reality, our foundation was extremely shoddy, and even the slightest bit of movement would cause this seemingly magnificent tall building to sway. At the moment we didn’t pay attention to it, it would collapse and crash on us within an instant and cause grievous hurt.”
Ye Qianqian was currently in a state of suffering from grievous hurt. When Lao Zhou noticed that Ye Qianqian seemed down, he said, “Sister-in-law, why don’t I treat you to a meal next time as a form of apology? I’ll call Xiao Gu along as well.”
“It’s all right…”
“Xiao Gu is a piece of fresh meat in our department. He seemed to be on good terms with that lady who took care of Brother Shen during those few days. We only misunderstood because he seemed to be close with that lady. Ultimately, this dude should take the greatest blame in this.”
“It’s all right, thank you. I’m heading off. Goodbye.”
“Sister-in-law…”
“Don’t call me sister-in-law,” Ye Qianqian cut Lao Zhou off. “That’s too much for me to bear. We already broke up.”
After Ye Qianqian said this, she turned and left quickly.
Lao Zhou watched her thin, frail silhouette, and the words that he wanted to say seemed to be stuck in his throat.
After Ye Qianqian completely disappeared from view in the corridor, Lao Zhou picked his phone up and gave Shen Zhilie a call.
…
The capital.
The moment Shen Zhilie returned, he had been scheduled to attend a few meetings, and right after the meetings was a medical treatment that lasted for four hours.
He was kept busy for several days and didn’t have the chance to rest. A doctor who worked in the hospital at the capital was suddenly involved in a car accident, and there was no one to take over the patients and matters that he was in charge of.
Hospitals in the capital couldn’t compare with those in Kingstown, and there was a manpower crunch. The pace of work was faster, and there were even more patients who came to consult the psychiatry department. Thus, the hospital’s overall in charge applied to transfer Shen Zhillie back.
Initially, he had expected to spend some effort to get Shen Zhilie back since he heard that Shen Zhilie had a girlfriend in Kingstown. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhilie actually agreed readily. Everyone was overjoyed and naturally handed everything over to him.
It was 12:30 p.m. in Beijing. Shen Zhilie was kept busy for the good half of the day, and just when he could finally eat a proper hot meal, he received a call from Lao Zhou.
Shen Zhilie wasn’t in a hurry to pick it up when he saw that it was a call from Lao Zhou. He slowly finished the food in his mouth before he picked up the phone. Turning on the loudspeaker, he placed the phone on the table and picked up his spoon again. “h.e.l.lo?”
“You’re having your meal?”
“Yeah, I only managed to take a break now. What’s up?”
“Nothing. Just wanted to let you know that your girl came to look for you earlier.”
Shen Zhilie stopped eating for a moment, and even his mouth chewed slower.
“Looks like she doesn’t know that you’ve been transferred back to the capital. She seemed much thinner than before, and her complexion doesn’t look too good.” Lao Zhou scratched his head. “Say, Brother Shen, since both of you are unhappy after the breakup, why do you still want to break up? Isn’t it bad that everyone feels terrible about it?”
“Yeah, I got it.”
“Huh? So that’s all?”
“What else, then?”
“Well…”
“If that’s all, I’m busy. I still have a bunch of things to do after I finish my meal, so I’ll hang up then.”
“Brother Shen, aren’t you being too heartless?”
“What do you know?” After Shen Zhilie said this, all that Lao Zhou could hear from the other end of the line was a busy tone.
