The Female Lead Wants Me to Take My Medicine [Quick Transmigration] 36p2

Chapter 36p2: The Young Miss in the Wheelchair 36

The next day, Cheng Zhishu left the Xi family in a fit of anger. She didn’t take anything with her, not even the cat.

Xi Congshuang sat on the balcony, her gaze following the two figures as they left.

The other person did not look back, until her figure disappeared behind the shade of the trees, walked onto the tree-lined road, and could no longer be seen.

“Meow!”

Nao Nao, who had been quiet for several days, finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and meowed loudly in the house, calling for someone to play with it.

As it meowed, it ran to Xi Congshuang’s room.

She hadn’t closed the door today. The plump white cat twisted its waist and smoothly flowed in through the gap.

“Meow—!!”

Xi Congshuang heard the sound and turned her head, waving at it. “Come here.”

The cat couldn’t hear, but it could understand hand gestures. It ran over eagerly and jumped onto Xi Congshuang’s lap.

It was also fortunate that Xi Congshuang’s legs had no feeling, otherwise, she would have been crushed by this white cat.

Nao Nao’s pink nose twitched as it sniffed her, meowing incessantly.

Xi Congshuang raised her hand to stroke its head. Nao Nao purred with comfort, its blue eyes squinted.

“I’m sorry, Nao Nao. I made your owner angry. She might never come back to find me again.”

“Meow.”

“If I’m lucky, I should be able to see her again in ten years.”

A rumbling sound came from a distance. A flight to an unknown destination passed overhead, speeding through the clouds.

Xi Congshuang looked up, her fingertips playing with the longevity lock around the white cat’s neck. She hadn’t expected Cheng Zhishu to leave the cat behind.

“Collapse value +10. Current collapse value: 50.”

“No, you just let her go like that?”

“What do you want?”

A few days later, Xi Hanran, who was on a business trip, returned. After learning of this matter, she couldn’t help but ask.

In fact, Xi Hanran didn’t want anything. She was just shocked that the child Xi Congshuang had adopted was actually the lost child of a Chinese family abroad.

Now that the family head was still seriously ill, her vast fortune would definitely be handed over to Cheng Zhishu.

It was a bit long, but that was the general idea.

But there was one thing she didn’t understand. “To become the crown princess in one step is something people dream of. Why is she not willing?”

Xi Congshuang ignored her.

Xi Hanran tried to guess, “This is strange. If someone was chasing after my dad to give him money and said what Miss Feng had said, he would probably be so happy that he wouldn’t even recognize his own mother.”

“This is a windfall.”

After thinking about it carefully, Xi Hanran added, “I would be like that too.”

“…” Xi Congshuang.

So she’s the heroine who returns in glory ten years later and bankrupts the Xi family with a wave of her hand, and you’re the fragile egg that gets crushed when the nest is overturned.

People are always different.

Xi Hanran noticed her gaze and turned to look. “What’s with that look?”

She was in no mood to joke with Xi Hanran. Her fingertips tapped the armrest of her wheelchair. Xi Congshuang said, “I will be leaving the headquarters for a while on the grounds of medical retirement. You can take over the project I’m in charge of. Ni An will help you.”

Xi Hanran: “?”

Xi Congshuang: “The arrangements have been basically made. It won’t be too difficult to do a good job. It’s a good opportunity to make a contribution.”

The person who hadn’t yet jumped out of her previous train of thought stared at Xi Congshuang in a daze.

She was startled by her gaze again and asked the question in her heart.

Xi Hanran: “Since you’ve said so, why don’t you do it yourself and make a contribution in front of everyone?”

Now, everyone at the Xi Corporation believed that a disabled leader would appear in the future and had already gotten used to it, just waiting for Chairman Xi to give the word for Xi Congshuang to take over.

At this critical moment, Xi Congshuang actually wanted to push the matter at hand away?

Could it be that she was so heartbroken that she had abandoned all her career?

Xi Congshuang often found it difficult to understand Xi Hanran’s train of thought. She patted her wheelchair. “What am I?”

“A patient.” Xi Hanran added, “A patient who is going to have surgery in the autumn.”

Not many people knew about this. Besides the people at Wenhai and the attending doctor, even Chairman Xi was not very clear.

Xi Congshuang said patiently, “Grandma is not far from retiring behind the scenes. She has enjoyed all of this enough and is preparing to step down and live in seclusion.”

“Don’t you want to be the head of the Xi Corporation?”

“I can support you.”

“…”

To be honest, no one could refuse these words. Xi Hanran couldn’t help but feel excited.

Xi Congshuang retorted, “Isn’t the best care for a patient now to take over all her business and work for her?”

In this way, in the eyes of others, it would be that Xi Congshuang was not up to the task and was taken advantage of by Xi Hanran.

By the time Xi Pingxian reacted and pushed aside the resistance of Xi Congshuang, the competition would already be over.

After a long while, Xi Hanran finally reacted and accepted Xi Congshuang’s conditions.

She had always wanted to control the Xi Corporation. Even with a Xi Congshuang behind the scenes, she was willing.

Xi Hanran was dumbfounded. “No way, Xi Congshuang. You’re still in the mood to think about these things now?”

“If not, then what should I be thinking about?”

Xi Hanran: “Uh…”

Xi Congshuang said the answer in her mind, “Being sentimental, not taking medicine, not eating, not exercising, and waiting for the doctor to tell me that I don’t meet the surgical requirements?”

Xi Hanran hadn’t thought about the latter half, and Xi Congshuang’s thoughts didn’t need to be so thorough.

Show a little sadness, okay? Give me a chance to comfort you!

Xi Hanran: “…”

Sometimes she really felt that Xi Congshuang was very scary.

***

Things were just as Xi Congshuang had said. Not long after, Chairman Xi had a talk with her. When the two of them parted, it was clear that Chairman Xi’s expression was surprised and regretful.

But she was also helpless. Having been used to seeing the resourceful Xi Congshuang, she was so focused on her surprise and relief that she had forgotten the fact that she was still a patient.

Her body simply couldn’t handle the complicated work.

After that, Xi Congshuang temporarily left the Xi Corporation on the grounds of medical retirement and returned to her life of staying at Wenhai and not leaving the house.

No one knew what she was doing, only that there were rumors that her condition had worsened.

Before the news could spread, a rosy-cheeked Xi Congshuang would appear in front of everyone, shattering the rumors, making Xi Pingxian not know what she was up to.

Every once in a while, Xi Congshuang would return to the company to show her face. Today was one of those days.

She changed her clothes and went downstairs in her wheelchair. Recently, she had added a new rehabilitation step, and even the patient Xi Congshuang found it difficult.

Seeing Xi Congshuang appear, Little Liu brought people to serve breakfast, presenting it to her one by one.

After wiping her hands with a hot towel, Xi Congshuang picked up her chopsticks and ate breakfast, eating quietly.

She would usually finish breakfast in about half an hour, then use another clean hot towel to wipe her hands, preparing to leave the table.

The servants came forward, preparing to take away the remaining things.

Suddenly remembering something, Xi Congshuang stopped and pointed to the dish that had been picked the most.

“Zhishu should like this. Make another portion. When she wakes up…”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings became quiet.

Everyone looked at the woman in the wheelchair in surprise.

Xi Congshuang realized something and frowned. “Don’t make this dish in the future.”

Today was not the weekend, just the tail end of the summer vacation, and Cheng Zhishu was not at home.

She was also confused, saying these things for no reason.

“Yes, Miss.”

Someone’s reply sounded behind her. Xi Congshuang maneuvered her wheelchair towards the garage.

Li Mi, who didn’t know what was happening in the house, was already waiting here. She took a long stride to open the car door and stood on the side with her hand on the wheelchair handle.

After Xi Congshuang got into the car, she folded the wheelchair and put it away, then walked to the driver’s seat, got in, and drove towards the company.

On the way, while waiting at a red light, Li Mi glanced at the rearview mirror out of the corner of her eye. Xi Congshuang in the back seat was looking out the car window, the seatbelt across her chest, her profile serene.

She lived like this day after day, as if nothing had changed.
