Wife, I’ve Been Reborn (GL) - Chapter 33

Chapter 33

The next day, both Zhao Shi and Chen Jiao were absent. When Mu Nan went to the teacher to say she wasn’t feeling well, the homeroom teacher frowned, “Why are you also feeling unwell?”

Mu Nan held her ground. “Maybe we ate at the same place.”

Her face was completely devoid of color, extremely pale, and her hand was clutching her abdomen, making it seem like she wasn’t faking it.

The homeroom teacher frowned and looked at her for a moment. “Should I take you to the hospital?”

A person came from behind Mu Nan and interrupted the teacher. “Teacher, I’ll take her.”

Xu Liangchen, who had just come to turn in homework, saw Mu Nan asking for leave and had already guessed what was going on.

Her heart was soft after all.

The homeroom teacher nodded, seeing Xu Liangchen’s sincere expression. “Alright, be careful on your way.”

Xu Liangchen held Mu Nan, her fingernails digging into her hand. Mu Nan winced in pain, and her face became even more pale.

Xu Liangchen replied to the teacher, “Okay.”

As soon as they left the school gate, Xu Liangchen let go of her arm and faced Mu Nan. “Are you going to see Chen Jiao?”

Mu Nan nodded without saying a word. The stinging pain on the back of her hand signaled the dissatisfaction of the person in front of her.

Xu Liangchen was so angry at her implicit agreement that her tone became harsher. “You’re truly unreasonable!”

Mu Nan looked as if she was unbothered. “Then don’t bother with me.”

Xu Liangchen looked at her for a long time and then sighed heavily.

Mu Nan also felt that what she had just said was a bit much. She stood cautiously next to Xu Liangchen and hooked her fingers around her hand. “I’m sorry.”

Xu Liangchen’s tone was helpless. “The person you should be apologizing to is yourself.”

What is it called to be trapped by one’s own doing?

This is exactly what she’s doing!

She really came back to this life for nothing. She thought she could successfully help Mu Nan escape the crime of pregnancy, but in the end, she had taken it upon herself.

Utterly stupid!

But as Mu Nan said, if she let her go to the hospital alone to find Chen Jiao, she wouldn’t feel at ease.

Xu Liangchen felt a deep sense of frustration. She felt that fate was like this; it forced you to return to your original path.

Even if she tried to obstruct it, it would find a different way to return to the original track.

Mu Nan also knew that what she was doing was idiotic, but she really couldn’t bring herself to leave Chen Jiao alone in the hospital.

Xu Liangchen and Mu Nan were in a stalemate for half an hour before Xu Liangchen reluctantly followed her to the hospital.

It was a very out-of-the-way hospital. The two of them had to make several turns in the alley and ask a few people before they found it.

Mu Nan stood outside the hospital, hesitating to take another step forward.

Xu Liangchen took her hand and strode inside.

The hospital was small. The entrance led to the outpatient department, and a building behind it was the inpatient department.

There was no one in the outpatient department at the moment. Xu Liangchen pulled her directly toward the inpatient department in the back.

She followed the signs on the first floor, which indicated that the second floor was the operating room. That must be their destination.

Mu Nan followed behind Xu Liangchen. When they got to the second floor, they saw Zhao Shi standing in the hallway.

Zhao Shi’s face showed no sign of worry. He even looked a little pleased and was talking to a young nurse.

The nurse gave him a coy look, and Zhao Shi boldly put his hand on her shoulder.

It was obvious what the two of them were talking about, and their expressions were disgusting!

Mu Nan was furious. She went up and stood between the two, pushing Zhao Shi away.

“Zhao Shi, you’re shameless!”

Her face was flushed with anger, and the hand she used to push Zhao Shi was still trembling. Her eyes were filled with hatred!

She had been anxious and fearful for the past few days, so she was easily agitated. Seeing Zhao Shi like this, all her anger flared up!

She had always known Zhao Shi was a jerk, but she never expected him to be this much of a jerk! How could he do something like this in front of the operating room where Chen Jiao was having surgery?!

Mu Nan glared at Zhao Shi and the young nurse.

The nurse, seeing the tense atmosphere, hugged the file she was holding and ran away.

Zhao Shi acted as if he didn’t care. “What is it now?”

Mu Nan pointed to the operating room. “Chen Jiao is in there having surgery, and you’re out here messing around! How can you be so—”

“How can you be so trashy!”

Mu Nan was so angry that she couldn’t choose her words. She just kept glaring at Zhao Shi, her eyes burning with rage!

Zhao Shi laughed without a hint of anger. “Mu Nan, don’t you think you’re meddling too much?”

Mu Nan wanted to rip off Zhao Shi’s smiling face. She wanted to grab his neck and choke him!

“Meddling too much! Today, I’ll show you what it means to meddle too much!”

With that, she prepared to step forward. It was as if a dynamite stick had been lit inside her, ready to explode at any moment!

Xu Liangchen stood beside Mu Nan, holding her agitated body. Her eyes were as cold as ice. She glanced over Zhao Shi and said to Mu Nan, “Don’t insult trash.”

Zhao Shi remembered that his previous few attempts had been ruined by Xu Liangchen. He immediately dropped his casual demeanor and bared his teeth at Xu Liangchen. “Say that again!”

Xu Liangchen’s expression was icy. “Say it again? Zhao Shi, in my eyes, you’ve always been a good-for-nothing! Not just in my eyes, but in your sister’s eyes, you’re also a good-for-nothing!”

Zhao Shi’s temper seemed to suddenly flare up. “Don’t you dare mention my sister!”

Xu Liangchen was also furious. Her eyes were sharper than ever, and her voice was firm. “I’ll mention her! Do you think your sister will be grateful for what you’ve done? Look at all this you’ve done!”

“Taking your anger out on others? Zhao Shi, you’re truly an eye-opener! I wonder what your sister’s expression would be if she knew about all this you’ve done!”

Xu Liangchen had wanted to say these things to Zhao Shi for a long time.

But Zhao Shi was so deeply consumed by hatred that he wouldn’t listen.

Xu Liangchen’s voice was grim, and she was almost gritting her teeth. “Do you think your sister will be grateful to you? Don’t be naive. Your sister will only think you’re despicable!”

“Ah! You’re not allowed to mention my sister!!!”

When Zhao Shi heard what Xu Liangchen said, he went crazy and pounced on her, raising his hand to slap her in the face!

But his hand was intercepted in mid-air!

Then, a clear slap was heard.

Mu Nan couldn’t take it anymore. She looked at Zhao Shi, her palm was already red and stinging. Her eyes were on fire, and she was gritting her teeth as if she wanted to peel off his skin and drink his bl00d. “You want to hit someone?”

“Slap!”

While Zhao Shi was still stunned, she slapped him hard again. “Let me teach you!”

Zhao Shi, like a mad bull, tried to charge at Mu Nan. Xu Liangchen grabbed his two arms and pinned them behind his back. Zhao Shi struggled for a moment, and a third slap landed on his face!

“Zhao Shi, the first two slaps are for what you owe me and Chen Jiao!”

“And this third slap is for what you owe that unborn baby!”

Mu Nan’s voice was a little hoarse and choked with tears. A few nurses who had come to watch the show were whispering to each other.

There were red marks on Zhao Shi’s face, and his body was being restrained. He had never been so humiliated before. He had a mind to kill Mu Nan!

He gasped for air, his voice furious. “Mu Nan, what right do you have to get involved with me?!”

A man stood up from behind Mu Nan. He was very tall and wearing a sharp suit, with a serious expression on his face. “Then do I have the right?!”

For a moment, the air was still. Xu Liangchen felt the person under her hand suddenly stiffen.

The man first saw Xu Liangchen restraining Zhao Shi’s body. He looked at Xu Liangchen’s arm with an understated expression. “Student, let’s talk this out. Let him go first.”

As soon as Xu Liangchen let go, Zhao Shi charged at Mu Nan, his eyes bloodshot. Mu Nan was pulled behind a person!

In front of her was a man.

She looked at the man’s back, which was very broad.

Zhao Sheng’s expression was cold and stern. He gave Zhao Shi a fierce look. “You better think about how you’re going to explain this to me!”

Zhao Shi immediately deflated, and his emotions were no longer so agitated.

Zhao Sheng turned his head to look at Mu Nan. “Are you Mu Yang’s sister?”

Mu Nan nodded, not knowing why the man in front of her suddenly mentioned her brother.

The man nodded, facing Mu Nan directly. “Do you mind talking for a bit?”

Mu Nan’s unstable emotions slowly calmed down. She subconsciously looked at Xu Liangchen. Zhao Sheng said, “There are some things I only want to explain to you.”

Xu Liangchen’s expression was normal. She walked to Mu Nan’s side. “Go ahead. I’ll stay here and watch over Chen Jiao.”

Mu Nan nodded and followed the man out of the hospital.

The two of them stood in the aisle outside the hospital. The ground was littered with trash, and a foul smell was coming from not far away, which was a stark contrast to the man in the sharp suit in front of her.

Zhao Sheng glanced at Mu Nan, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it, taking a deep drag. “Do you mind?”

Mu Nan shook her head. “What is it?”

Although the man had just protected her, his actions suggested that he was related to Zhao Shi. She had no good feelings toward anyone from the Zhao family right now.

Who knew if he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing?

Another piece of trash like Zhao Shi.

Seeing that Mu Nan wasn’t saying anything, Zhao Sheng coughed lightly. “How much do you know about Mu Yang and Linlin?”

He then explained, as if afraid Mu Nan wouldn’t understand, “Linlin is Zhao Shi’s sister.”

Mu Nan actually didn’t know anything. She had only learned about Zhao Shi’s sister from Xu Liangchen today. So this Linlin was related to her brother?

From Xu Liangchen’s words, was Zhao Shi looking for her for revenge because of his sister?

Wouldn’t that be a bit too childish?

Mu Nan suddenly thought of the first time they met at the KTV. She had gotten drunk after just one drink. She felt a chill. Was there something in that drink?

Zhao Shi’s method of revenge was exactly the same as Zhao Lin’s. They were truly siblings.

Both so despicable!

After finishing, Zhao Sheng stopped and looked at Mu Nan. “I know you might have heard about these things from your brother. The Zhao family has indeed wronged you, and I will do my best to make it right. If you ever need anything, you can come to me.”

With that, he handed his business card to Mu Nan.

Mu Nan really couldn’t imagine that after the Zhao family produced two strange individuals, they could also produce an upright person. At least, he seemed very upright at the moment.

Mu Nan looked down at the business card. The golden words “Zhao Sheng” were engraved on it.

Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng felt a little relieved when she took the business card. His face was no longer serious, but a little curious. “Are you very close with Song Bei?”

“Song Bei?”

Mu Nan didn’t know why the topic suddenly turned to Song Bei. She repeated the name, feeling like some clues were beginning to come together in her mind.

Zhao Sheng chuckled. “Yeah. I was wondering this morning when Song Bei’s confidant gave me the message. How do you know her?”

If the Mu family had known that Mu Nan knew Song Bei back then, that matter would definitely not have been left unresolved.

Zhao Sheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it’s all over.

Mu Nan didn’t know why Song Bei would send the message. Was it Xu Liangchen’s arrangement? She had seen Xu Liangchen and Song Bei meet. Was their relationship so good that they would share this kind of information?

Mu Nan didn’t know why a wave of unidentifiable anger rose in her heart again.

She didn’t want to talk to Zhao Sheng anymore. She just said, “Yes, I know her, but we’re not close. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

Zhao Sheng nodded. “I’ll handle things with the school. Please be more tolerant of Zhao Shi.”

After learning the whole story, Mu Nan just thought Zhao Shi was ridiculous. Tolerant? She had no reason to be tolerant. She had already decided to never have anything to do with Zhao Shi again.

Zhao Sheng followed her back into the hospital and took Zhao Shi away. When Zhao Shi saw Mu Nan, he still looked like he wanted to fight, but he couldn’t speak, so he could only glare at her.

Mu Nan didn’t want to bother with him.

Sometimes, if a dog bites you, you can’t bite it back!
