The Female Lead Wants Me to Take My Medicine [Quick Transmigration] 35p1

Chapter 35p1: The Young Miss in the Wheelchair 35

Seven days later, the two who had been enjoying themselves at the seaside finally returned to the Xi residence.

Their return was warmly welcomed by everyone at Wenhai, including Nao Nao. Besides receiving local cat cans and cat treats as gifts, it also got a little unexpected surprise.

Hearing that letting a kitten smell a branch could enrich its life, Cheng Zhishu had specially brought a twig in her pocket. When she saw Nao Nao, she squatted down, clumsily petted the cat all over, and then took out the small branch.

Cheng Zhishu: “Smell this. This is the smell of the seaside.”

Nao Nao’s pink nose twitched, and it padded over.

“Meow.”

Like a rigorous inspector, it carefully sniffed the branch in Cheng Zhishu’s hand, not missing a single spot.

But it wasn’t satisfied with just that. It carefully took the branch from Cheng Zhishu’s hand and ran to a corner of the sofa to chew on it.

Cheng Zhishu had checked that this plant was harmless to cats, so she let it play with it, sharing a bit of her vacation happiness with it.

Clapping her hands and standing up, Cheng Zhishu began to feel bored and wandered around the house.

Because Xi Congshuang had gone out this morning, she was not at home now.

Soon, Cheng Zhishu would regret this.

Little Liu walked over and looked at her carefully. She asked, “Xiao Shu, did you get a tan? Your teeth are whiter than usual.”

A single sentence made the smiling girl lose her smile.

Xi Congshuang, who was not at home, had not yet arrived at the company. Just now, she had gone to the hospital first.

After finishing her conversation, she returned to the car and was on her way to the company.

Doctor Xu had said that her current situation was very optimistic and that she was more inclined to advise Xi Congshuang not to have the surgery. From the current situation, it would not get any worse than it was now.

But Xi Congshuang’s mind was made up. In essence, she was a gambler.

Having survived several near-death experiences, she enjoyed the thrill of conquering fate, which had made her conceited.

Seeing her so determined, Doctor Xu respected the patient’s opinion and turned to talk about the precautions in the days before the surgery.

Both of them agreed to set the surgery time in the autumn. Doctor Xu hoped that the cool weather would make Xi Congshuang’s post-operative recovery a little more comfortable.

Although this insignificant wish would not play any role in the surgery, if the surgery failed…

She would not see the golden autumns of the future.

Li Mi, who was concentrating on driving, did not know what her boss had talked about in the hospital. Since she came out of Doctor Xu’s office again, her mood had been bad.

Even the atmosphere in the car had become oppressive.

Xi Congshuang was not the only one who was unhappy. The system was also very unhappy.

Because that damn one point of collapse value had been stubbornly refusing to drop. From late spring to the height of summer, the collapse value of 11 showed no signs of wavering.

The red apple stared at this number in the background every day, from full of joy to extremely anxious. The entire system was about to collapse.

The protagonist’s luck was strong, and most of them were difficult to deal with, but Cheng Zhishu was difficult to a certain extent, which was rare.

It really wanted to grab Cheng Zhishu’s shoulders and shake her, questioning what else she was unhappy about. Say it, say it!

Unfortunately, it couldn’t. Just as Xi Congshuang couldn’t mention any words related to the mission to anyone, the red apple couldn’t appear in the sight of anyone other than the task-taker.

Anyone who violated the rules would be punished.

As soon as Xi Congshuang arrived at the office, she saw the red apple anxiously spinning in front of her.

There was no one in the office. Xi Congshuang took the initiative to say, “I know my progress has been slow recently. I will continue to work hard in the time to come.”

If Ni An were present, she would have found these words very familiar, very much like what she often said to Xi Congshuang.

The red apple stopped and flew in front of her. “No, this matter has little to do with you anymore.”

Xi Congshuang: “Oh?”

It was rare to hear a human word from this anxious red apple.

The red apple flew around in front of her like a bird out of a cage, muttering to itself.

“Money, status, enjoyment, you’ve given her almost everything. So in my opinion, you’ve basically done your part. There’s nothing more you can give her.”

“But I can’t figure it out. What else is she not satisfied with? That one point of collapse value just won’t drop.”

Done my part?

Xi Congshuang’s brow raised slightly. She thought to herself that that was not necessarily the case.

The standard of happiness that the red apple had substituted was only based on what most people liked. In fact, Cheng Zhishu was a very easy person to satisfy.

Her raised gaze fell, and Xi Congshuang stared at her reflection on the computer screen, lost in thought.

But she couldn’t give it.

An invisible hand forcibly tore her thoughts apart, splitting her in two. One side clamored for indulgence, while the other desperately restrained itself. She was helpless.

She would also weakly comfort herself: Many things have already changed, haven’t they?

At this moment, Xi Congshuang rarely felt relaxed, but the change happened far faster than she had imagined—Flora, who had finished her inspection of the branch company early, visited again.

And she had specifically requested to meet with Xi Congshuang.

On the way to the meeting room, Ni An said, “Actually, Little Wang told me long ago that Miss Flora Feng from the Ander headquarters had been hoping to meet with you for a week, but at that time, you had already scheduled your trip, so I had Little Wang refuse her and suggested that she could discuss any needs with me first.”

“But Miss Feng refused. She only said that she only hoped to talk to you alone about this matter and refused to disclose more.”

“After that, Director Ping contacted her, but without exception, she was refused by Miss Feng. She only insisted on one thing, that she only wanted to see you, even if it was just for five minutes.”

Director Ping was Xi Congshuang’s fourth aunt. Her name had a “Ping” in it, and her full name was Xi Pingxian.

Flora’s persistence had caused a lot of discussion at the headquarters. All sorts of speculations were rampant, but unfortunately, the protagonist, Xi Congshuang, was not there, so no matter how much everyone speculated, it could not be confirmed.

Xi Congshuang stopped her wheelchair. “A week ago?”

Ni An was stunned, then answered, “Yes, it was the day after Xiao Shu’s college entrance exam.”

“…”

At that time, she and Cheng Zhishu were already on a flight to a coastal city and had not dealt with any news from the country.

For a long time, Xi Congshuang had had a faint premonition. The unresolved matter in her heart finally fell heavily, and she did not feel relieved at all.

The time, it matched.

After the college entrance exam, the heroine had suddenly disappeared outside the exam site. No matter how the original owner searched, she could not find any trace of the heroine. She was like she had evaporated from the face of the earth.

She began to resist moving forward, to open that door.

But that door was opened in advance. Flora, who had taken off her coat and was only wearing a white shirt and a slim-fit vest, stood behind the door.

Flora’s blue eyes looked at Xi Congshuang, her eyes filled with pleading. “Please forgive my impoliteness. My sudden visit has taken up your time. Please come in.”

Xi Congshuang heard the persistence in this woman’s tone. She was afraid that the conversation would not be just five minutes.

The entrance of the meeting room fell into a brief silence. The two of them, one sitting and one standing, faced each other in silence.

Flora was anxious and couldn’t help but urge, “Miss Xi.”

The wheelchair at the door moved. Before entering, Xi Congshuang said to Ni An, “You wait here. I will talk to Miss Feng alone.”

Ni An: “Then the coffee…”

Flora said first, “I don’t need coffee. I haven’t finished mine.”

With that, the door was closed, leaving Ni An scratching her head in confusion.

“You don’t need coffee, but my boss doesn’t need to drink?”

But Xi Congshuang did not ask for it, so Ni An had to stay outside, waiting behind a thick door.

Inside the door, Xi Congshuang calmly read the documents in the file folder. It was a paternity test, or rather… two.

One was a hair test, and the other was a blood test.

At the end, it was determined that Cheng Zhishu and a woman named Wen Lingwang were mother and daughter, with a 99.99% probability.

The name Wen Lingwang was very familiar. She was the head of the Ander Group abroad. She did not often show her face and had handed over many of her affairs to her confidantes or vice presidents.

There had always been a rumor that Wen Lingwang was actually a puppet controlled by others, just a mascot pushed out by an old family, and that the real person in charge was someone else.

But Xi Congshuang had looked up Wen Lingwang’s rise to power and had pieced together her early life from snippets of various news.

She had gone from being the youngest daughter in her family to the head of the family. She was still unmarried. Under her gentle appearance was an iron fist, which could not be achieved by relying on the favor of her elders alone.

And a series of decisions and changes after she took power were very much in Wen Lingwang’s style, so she scoffed at the idea that Wen Lingwang was a puppet.

Xi Congshuang casually threw down the documents in her hand. She asked, “How did you get the blood and hair? Did you bribe the people around me?”

Flora did not expect her first question to be this. She was stunned for a moment and hurriedly explained, “No, no, that’s not it. I picked up the hair at Chairman Xi’s birthday banquet. It just happened to be useful.”

“As for the blood… your country requires a physical examination before the college entrance exam. I found a way to obtain the blood through the school.”

Xi Congshuang: “It seems you’ve been quite thorough.”

Flora had a gut feeling that she was mocking her, but she was willing to accept this emotion.

She gathered the documents on the table, including a photo of Wen Lingwang when she was young and a recent photo.

If Ni An had not been shut out, she would have definitely realized that her first impression of Cheng Zhishu having a somewhat mixed-race profile was not an illusion.

Because Wen Lingwang was a mixed-race person. Besides the color of her eyes and the contours of her features, she was quite similar to Cheng Zhishu in her youth, with only minor differences in their features.

But the two were too far apart, and their statuses were too different, making it difficult to overlap these two similarities.

Only Flora, who knew the inside story, would be so bold. She had not expected to find her. Every day she got the results, she felt that it was simply the guidance of fate.

Flora said, “This is the regret of the family head’s life. She was betrayed by her relatives and lost her beloved daughter, but that person would rather shoot herself than tell her the whereabouts of the young miss.”

“Until the moment she pulled the trigger, she insisted, ‘The child is dead. I personally gave her to the killer. Give up hope.'”

“The family head was depressed for a long time because of this, in great pain.”

“But I didn’t expect that the missing child was actually abroad. It was an unexpected joy.”

Xi Congshuang’s expression had not changed a single bit from the beginning. At least, Flora did not see any emotion on her face.

But Flora was not surprised. She had investigated before coming. The intelligence said that Xi Congshuang valued Cheng Zhishu very much, even to the point of indulgence, not allowing anyone to touch her, like a dragon guarding its treasure.

She had also made up her mind. Even if Xi Congshuang did not agree, she would find a way to take the young miss away. Her home was in M country.

“I’m not interested in your family head’s past grudges. Why didn’t she come in person?” Xi Congshuang said coldly. “If she was so depressed from losing her child, shouldn’t she have come in person, regardless of the distance?”

Flora’s always straight and relaxed shoulders slumped. “The long-term mental torture has made her sick. She will have surgery in two months. She can’t bear the hardship of a long journey.”

Xi Congshuang: “…”

“The doctor said that the family head’s will to live is very low. Even if it’s a life-saving surgery, she might sleep forever.”
