Kicked Back to a Rich Family by the Real Eldest Daughter - Chapter 5
Chapter 5
Tang Jinzhi slowly turned her head to look at Zhang Yueqi: “I didn’t say Jie Xiangyi.”
No, she didn’t say ‘workhorse’ at all.
Was Zhang Yueqi’s hearing that bad?
“Mhm, mhm, I was talking about Jie Xiangyi.” Zhang Yueqi was focused on peeling crayfish, and her mind didn’t even think when she was complaining about Jie Xiangyi. “Jie Xiangyi has been a workaholic since she was a child. She’s the annoying ‘other people’s child’.”
Tang Jinzhi closed her eyes and wanted to rub her forehead. Zhang Yueqi was doing it on purpose.
Zhang Yueqi continued: “Aren’t you curious about what she was like as a child?”
Tang Jinzhi tilted her head to look at the door. No one had come back. “Ahem, tell me about it.”
“Hehe!” Zhang Yueqi gave a mischievous smile and immediately satisfied Tang Jinzhi’s curiosity. “Although I’m a few years younger than Jie Xiangyi, we grew up together. I know a lot about her.”
“When Jie Xiangyi was a child, her personality wasn’t as cold as it is now. My mom always praised her for her good grades and politeness. She was a good girl who would smile and greet people when she saw them. She was the perfect daughter in all the moms’ hearts.”
“Until one day…”
Tang Jinzhi couldn’t help but interrupt: “Jie Xiangyi is cold now? I don’t think so.”
Jie Xiangyi has such a good personality. She always responds to what’s said and grants requests. How is she cold?
But she was actually more curious about what the “good girl” Jie Xiangyi looked like. She must have been very cute.
When Tang Jinzhi brought this up, Zhang Yueqi also felt that Jie Xiangyi’s behavior today was indeed different from usual. She tilted her head and thought, “Hmm… probably because you’re the patient and she’s the doctor. She’s always the most tolerant of patients, and her attitude is, of course, very good.”
Tang Jinzhi lowered her eyebrows in thought. Zhang Yueqi made a lot of sense.
But what if Jie Xiangyi’s personality was a little cold? She was still a very good person. She had saved half of her life.
How could Zhang Yueqi know that the moment Tang Jinzhi got her USB drive, the “Jie Xiangyi is great” filter had already been formed?
Tang Jinzhi still wanted to hear Zhang Yueqi’s story. She pulled the topic back, “Go on. What happened that one day?”
Zhang Yueqi wore a mischievous smile: “As a result, one day Jie Xiangyi she…”
“What about Jie Xiangyi?”
Jie Xiangyi’s clear and cold voice slowly drifted into the ward.
Zhang Yueqi, who was bad-mouthing her behind her back, almost choked.
“Jie Xiangyi… uh… the crayfish Jie Xiangyi bought are very delicious!”
After hearing Zhang Yueqi’s incoherent speech, Tang Jinzhi simply closed her eyes and turned her head away.
Both of them were too guilty to look at Jie Xiangyi. What could be more embarrassing than being caught red-handed while bad-mouthing someone?
Tang Jinzhi feebly pulled the blanket up.
But when it came to being guilty, Zhang Yueqi was even more so.
Because after Jie Xiangyi put down her laptop, she sat down right across from her and continued to ask her without mercy, “What about Jie Xiangyi?”
What about Jie Xiangyi? Don’t you, Jie Xiangyi, know best what’s wrong with you?!
Ignoring her guilt, Tang Jinzhi quickly plugged the USB drive into the laptop, and at the same time, she secretly paid half her attention to the drama.
Jie Xiangyi looked back at her.
Tang Jinzhi’s eyes darted around, and she guiltily turned her attention back to the laptop.
Haha… you two can continue.
Zhang Yueqi, who was trying to justify herself, tried to raise her voice to give herself momentum, “I just wanted to tell your wife something interesting!”
Jie Xiangyi didn’t say a word. She just looked at her expressionlessly. She couldn’t stand it when Zhang Yueqi said the three words “your wife” to her.
Zhang Yueqi’s natural tone sounded like she had accepted it faster than she had.
But logically, she shouldn’t be calling her that yet.
She and Tang Jinzhi… hadn’t successfully gotten their marriage license.
Jie Xiangyi’s eyelids lowered. From the corner of her eye, she saw Tang Jinzhi, who was so guilty she was trying to minimize her presence.
Yesterday, she and Tang Jinzhi did go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but because Tang Jinzhi was late, the bureau was already closed.
As a result, Jie Xiangyi took another leave today, but now Tang Jinzhi was hospitalized, and they still couldn’t go.
If she hadn’t seen Tang Jinzhi’s current state with her own eyes, Jie Xiangyi would have really suspected that Tang Jinzhi was making up excuses to trick her.
Jie Xiangyi thought to herself, now no one but her knew that they hadn’t successfully gotten their marriage license.
Yesterday, the two of them felt it was too much trouble to tell their families, as they would be getting the license the next day anyway.
And now… Jie Xiangyi was considering whether to tell Tang Jinzhi the truth. In fact, she really wanted to keep the information to herself and let everyone continue to be mistaken.
But this idea was too naive. Jie Xiangyi gave up after a moment of thought.
Unlike Jie Xiangyi’s depression.
Tang Jinzhi’s eyes were sparkling, and she was excitedly checking every single document. The smile on her face never faded.
When Tang Jinzhi, with her eyes curved in a smile, held the USB drive in her palm, Jie Xiangyi had also finished her mental preparation.
So what if we get married? Tang Jinzhi is actually not bad.
After Jie Xiangyi convinced herself, her slightly tense face finally relaxed. She looked up at Zhang Yueqi, who was still trying to justify herself, and said bluntly, “If she wants to know, she’ll ask me herself.”
Tang Jinzhi sat on the bed without saying a word. She was shaking her head violently in her heart. Thank you, I really want to know, but I don’t dare to ask.
Zhang Yueqi said with a sense of justice: “But that doesn’t stop me from being willing to tell her!”
Jie Xiangyi: “…”
The other person was thick-skinned, so Jie Xiangyi gave up arguing. She simply asked directly, “Why are you still here?”
The meaning of her annoyance was so obvious that it didn’t need to be said.
But what could she do when Zhang Yueqi was thick-skinned enough? “I’m not leaving. I’m going to interrupt your little two-person world here.”
Tang Jinzhi, who hadn’t said a word but had a strong presence: “…”
Can I curse?
Jie Xiangyi was also starting to get a headache. Sometimes she really wanted to seal Zhang Yueqi’s mouth.
Because of Zhang Yueqi, Jie Xiangyi felt a little uncomfortable looking at Tang Jinzhi, so she maintained a blank expression and stared at Zhang Yueqi.
Tang Jinzhi wouldn’t take the initiative to seek attention, she just dissed Zhang Yueqi in her heart.
The atmosphere in the room started to get weird.
Zhang Yueqi, who was being stared at by Jie Xiangyi, shrank her neck. The momentum she had just built up instantly disappeared. Her voice was dry, “Why are you looking at me like that…”
Jie Xiangyi glanced at the one remaining crayfish and said in a tone that allowed no room for argument, “Finish eating and go home.”
Of course, Zhang Yueqi didn’t want to, but she couldn’t resist Jie Xiangyi’s stare-down. She pouted and said in a low voice, “Okay, I’ll come back tomorrow morning.”
Jie Xiangyi: “…”
Is the hospital your home?
Tang Jinzhi’s expression was also hard to maintain. If she didn’t know the truth, she would have almost been moved to tears.
How many times had this person been here to use the word “come back”?
Under Jie Xiangyi’s threatening gaze, Zhang Yueqi finished eating in a hurry, cleaned up the table, and didn’t forget to say to Tang Jinzhi, “I’m leaving now. See you tomorrow morning.”
Tang Jinzhi nodded numbly.
After Zhang Yueqi left with the trash, only Tang Jinzhi and Jie Xiangyi were left in the ward.
Tang Jinzhi couldn’t help but ask, “How long until I can be discharged?”
She was afraid that she would start to treat the hospital as her home if she stayed for too long.
Jie Xiangyi walked to her bed and sat down, “I don’t know. You have to ask Dr. Qiu.”
Tang Jinzhi nodded thoughtfully, “If I just have amnesia, I shouldn’t have to stay in the hospital for a long time, right?”
Jie Xiangyi’s eyes were filled with thought. Tang Jinzhi’s amnesia symptoms were very strange. After thinking for a moment, she still said, “You still have to ask Dr. Qiu.”
“Okay.” Tang Jinzhi sighed softly, then handed the laptop back to Jie Xiangyi, and thanked her in a gentle voice, “Thank you. You’ve been a great help today.”
Jie Xiangyi nodded slightly, “It’s nothing. Is it the thing you were looking for?”
When Jie Xiangyi brought this up, the expression on Tang Jinzhi’s face instantly became lively. She laughed, and her voice was cheerful, “Yes, thank you.”
Seeing her bright smile, Jie Xiangyi smiled back, “I’m glad you found it. I almost threw it away as trash.”
“Then it would have been the most expensive piece of trash.”
After getting her things back, Tang Jinzhi spoke more pleasantly.
Her voice was bright and full of confidence.
“Perhaps.” Jie Xiangyi raised her lips and smiled. Tang Jinzhi’s tone was obviously elated, and she could feel how happy she was.
Tang Jinzhi blinked at her and couldn’t help but add, “Its value is immeasurable.”
Because you picked up the world I created.
Jie Xiangyi’s eyes curved slightly, and her tone was gentle: “Then you better not lose it again.”
Tang Jinzhi said decisively: “Of course not!”
Jie Xiangyi smiled and then suddenly changed the subject, asking, “Do we need to tell your family about the amnesia?”
With the nanny there, Tang Jinzhi’s family must have known that she was in the hospital. As for why no one had come to visit her, Jie Xiangyi didn’t care. She knew that Tang Jinzhi had a bad relationship with her family.
Tang Jinzhi frowned in deep thought. After a moment, she asked seriously, “Do I have to contact them?”
Jie Xiangyi tilted her head. She was a little confused.
From Tang Jinzhi’s tone, it sounded like she was very unwilling to have any more dealings with her family.
Jie Xiangyi thought for a moment and asked, “Do you remember that you have a bad relationship with them?”
Tang Jinzhi said without hesitation, “I’ve been lying in the hospital for almost a day, and no one from my family has come to see me. They haven’t even sent a single text message. It’s not hard to guess what our relationship is like.”
The main reason was that the character introduction was clear enough. Their relationship was not good.
But Tang Jinzhi was very satisfied with this. She even hoped the relationship would be worse, so they would hate each other and have no contact in the future.
She really wanted to avoid everyone related to the original owner and live alone, just like in her previous world.
As for Jie Xiangyi in front of her, Tang Jinzhi didn’t have many extra thoughts. Although legally Jie Xiangyi and her current self were married, it was the original “Tang Jinzhi” who went to get the marriage license, not her, so she didn’t feel any of it.
Jie Xiangyi is “Tang Jinzhi’s” wife, not her wife. Hehe.
Tang Jinzhi was madly looking for loopholes, thinking about how to break away from everyone related to the original owner after she got familiar with this world. She completely failed to notice Jie Xiangyi’s scrutinizing gaze.
Jie Xiangyi had no intention of probing Tang Jinzhi’s thoughts. She just sensed the repulsion in Tang Jinzhi’s words and began to doubt the authenticity of her amnesia.
“Contacting them is unavoidable,” Jie Xiangyi suddenly replied.
Upon hearing this, Tang Jinzhi’s shoulders slumped, and she instantly felt defeated. All her little schemes were suppressed.
She couldn’t avoid it for now. Everything was too new to her.
“Then tell them I have amnesia and I only know you and am only willing to communicate with you.” The dislike and repulsion in her voice were very obvious.
Jie Xiangyi sighed and said patiently, “You have amnesia, not social anxiety.”
Tang Jinzhi understood Jie Xiangyi’s warning. Her tone was calm, but her expression was extremely serious. “But I’m telling the truth. I don’t want to see anyone right now.”
“I can only accept you.”
Jie Xiangyi’s breath caught in her throat. Her gaze subtly looked away, but she quickly regained her composure and nodded as if nothing had happened.
“I understand. I’ll tell them later. You should rest now.”
“Oh, okay.”
Tang Jinzhi was left alone in the ward, deep in thought.
Why did they all leave in such a hurry?
