After they left the TV station, Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi discussed where to eat. Tang Beibei turned on her phone and saw seven or eight missed calls. She suddenly remembered something and slapped her head in frustration.

“Oh no, I’ve completely forgotten about Madam Wu’s treatment.”

Jiang Jingchen saw her anxious look and patted her back to comfort her. “Don’t worry. Just call her now and ask her where she is. I’ll take you to her.”

Tang Beibei made a call. When the call went through, she apologized and said that she was recording a show today and her phone was turned off. That was why she did not answer her calls.

Madam Wu waited for Tang Beibei for a long time. She was a bit upset but when she heard Tang Beibei’s apology, she couldn’t really say anything.

Tang Beibei was doing her a favor. She couldn’t lose her temper with her. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Noᴠelꜰire

Tm at the hospital. I’ll wait for you if you can come here. If it’s not convenient, I can come to you,”

“I’ll meet you at the hospital.”

Tang Beibei left Madam Wu some instructions before she hung up and gave Jiang Jingchen the address of the hospital.

Ruan Qi pointed at herself. “What about me?”

Jiang Jingchen looked at her. “You can go to the school library or take a taxi back to the villa to see Song Zhou and his fiancee.”

“… I’ll follow you guys.”

Jiang Jingchen drove to the hospital. He bought some fruits outside the hospital and brought them along.

When they arrived at Madam Wu’s ward, Tang Beibei apologized again. Madam Wu smiled and waved her hand.

‘Tm very happy that you’re here, Beibei. You are supposed to rest today. I am the one who’s disturbing you.”

Tang Beibei didn’t charge her a single cent for her treatment and said that she didn’t want any form of compensation. Madam Wu was very grateful to her.

Tang Beibei asked her how she was feeling, noted her condition today before she began her treatment.

Madam Wu felt less pain today but certain acupoints still hurt so much when pressed that she cried. As she wiped her tears, she asked Tang Beibei to press more.

Madam Wu’s behavior made Ruan Qi want to laugh, but she couldn’t. She found it really difficult to hold it in.

After finishing Madam Wu’s treatment, Tang Beibei didn’t leave immediately on account of not picking up her calls today and arriving late. She asked Ruan Qi to fetch her a basin of hot water.

Ruan Qi brought in a basin of hot water. Tang Beibei tested the temperature of the water before she placed Madam Wu’s feet in the water and took out a bottle of essential oil from her bag.

Madam Wu saw Tang Beibei wash her feet and looked at her in surprise.

“Beibei, what are you doing?”

Tang Beibei rubbed the essential oil on her palm and began to massage her feet.

“I’ll help you unclog your Qi and blood today. I see that the skin color on one side of your leg is different. Is this half a little numb? Does your leg hurt when you exert pressure on it?”

Madam Wu clapped her hands excitedly when she heard that.

“Yes, yes. I told the doctors, but they told me that it was because of my slipped disc. They asked me to use a medicated plaster, but I have sensitive skin and I’m allergic to medicated plasters.”

Tang Beibei said, “I’ll help you do it today. Tell me how it feels. If it feels good,

“Okay, thanks. Beibei, you really are a kind girl.”

Madam Wu started crying as she spoke. “I have a son and a daughter. I’ve been sick for so long. Although they worry about me, they’ve never washed my feet.” Tang Beibei didn’t know what to say. She lowered her head and pressed Madam Wu’s acupoints seriously.

Jiang Jingchen saw that his wife was working hard, so he didn’t disturb her. He turned and walked out of the ward.

He called Song Zhou and asked, “Are you still going to call me Young Master?”

“Of course!”

“I don’t care what relationship problems you have. If you don’t do what I ask you to do, you can resign.”

Song Zhou complied out of fear, “Young Master, I’m listening.”

“Who is Jin Zhao’s financial backer? What have you found out? Get someone to kidnap her and interrogate her why she stepped on my wife’s dress. If she refuses to answer, smash her ankle!”

“Yes, Young Master. I’ll do it immediately!”

Song Zhou finally had something to do and had an excuse to leave Mi Qing.

Mi Qing pulled him back. “Brother Song Zhou, it’s not like you can’t make a living. You have a lot of assets too. Why do you still want to be Jiang Jingchen’s butler?”

“It’s my calling to be Young Master’s butler.”

Mi Qmg complained, “But you’ll eventually have your own family. You can’t just bow down to someone and be ordered around. Have you ever thought about being your own boss?”

She was furious when she recalled Tang Beibei’s contemptuous attitude towards her.

She was just a little girl. She thought that just because she was married to Jiang Jingchen, she could be all high and mighty and boss people around. It was disgusting!

“Never thought about it,” Song Zhou replied.

Jiang Jingchen didn’t order him around. He was just doing his job.

Mi Qing wouldn’t give up. “Brother Song Zhou, you must think about me too.

We’re going to get married. If you still work for him, we’ll be living separately in different countries.”

“If you leave Jiang Jingchen and go to M-Country to start your own business, I won’t have to tolerate being treated like a maid and humiliated.”

Song Zhou asked with a frown, “Who treated you like a maid and humiliated you?”

“Brother Song Zhou, you don’t care about me at all. It happened when we were in the elevator. Jiang Jingchen’s wife.”

Mi Qing started crying. “She said that her eyes hurt when she saw me and that I was an eyesore. Jiang Jingchen also scolded me several times. They both look down on me. They think that I’m inferior, that I’m someone they can insult at will.”

The more she spoke, the sadder she got. “And that Ruan Qi. Look at the injuries on my body. Why did she hit me? Isn’t it also because she looks down on me?

Brother Song Zhou, I’ve suffered so much, yet you didn’t protect me.”

Song Zhou’s head hurt when he heard her cry.

Mi Qing was asking him to leave Jiang Jingchen and start his own business.

But he had promised someone when he was seventeen that as long as he was alive, he would protect the young master.

He was really grateful to Mi Qing for saving him. That was why he had been taking care of her all these years and fulfilling her every wish.

But there was no way he would leave Jiang Jingchen.

Besides, leaving Jiang Jingchen meant leaving Ruan Qi. He couldn’t do that.

“Stop it. I will never leave Young Master. If you’re not feeling well, have a rest. I need to get something done.”

Mi Qing held his arm. “Then you must wait until I fall asleep before you leave.

Otherwise, I’ll be scared.”

Song Zhou gritted his teeth. “Alright, go to sleep. I’ll wait for you to fall asleep.”

Mi Qing lay down and closed her eyes.

Song Zhou really waited for her to fall asleep before getting up to investigate Jin Zhao.

Jin Zhao did not keep a low profile. It was not difficult to investigate the person behind her.

Coincidentally, Jin Zhao’s financial backer, Shao Yuan, was the chairman of the technology company that Yang Hao hadn’t been able to close the deal with.

This connection would make some things go more smoothly.

He sent Jiang Jingchen the results of his investigation.

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “So slow. No wonder you can’t get married.”

Song Zhou did not dare to retort.

“If she’s Shao Yuan’s girlfriend, then it’s even easier. Kidnap her to interrogate

her. Once you get a confession out of her, I’ll take care of the rest.”

Song Zhou replied, “I’ll discuss this with Ji Yi.”

“If you continue to be so slow, I’m not sure if you’ll ever get a wife.”

Song Zhou’s heart was almost pierced all the way through, but he still had to smile.

Jiang Jingchen hung up the phone and was surprised to see Jiang Minglang in a wheelchair across from him..
