Chapter 2358: Chapter 162: Bro, Why Are You Acting Like You’re on Your Period?
“Big brother, you’ve caught Shi Dongliang, so why are you acting like you’re on your period?”
On the other end of the line, Feng Yize was so startled by Ye Zhan’s anger that he nearly dropped his phone in the corridor.
“Do you even know what it’s like to be on a period?”
Ye Zhan sneered sarcastically.
Feng Yize chuckled awkwardly, “Big brother, I heard that women get moody when they’re on their period. I know I made an unforgivable mistake this afternoon, causing you some fear and trouble. Don’t worry, tomorrow I’ll bring a switch and go apologize to… Sister Momo myself.”
The words “sister-in-law” were about to slip out but he abruptly changed his words.
Ye Zhan’s face, already unfriendly, turned even darker.
He walked into the garage, yanked open the car door, and slammed it shut.
Even through the phone, Feng Yize could clearly hear it.
This made him even more puzzled; what was up with his big brother? Was he possessed or something?
Fearing that saying more would make things worse and end up punishing himself, he laughed along and said over the phone, “Big brother, I’ll wait for you here.”
And hurriedly hung up the call.
In the driver’s seat.
Ye Zhan took a deep breath to calm his unsettled mind, then reached for the seatbelt and fastened it.
He hadn’t even started the engine when he heard the old housekeeper’s voice from outside, “Young Master Zhan, wait.”
Ye Zhan rolled down the window, looking at the old housekeeper running up from a few meters away. His gaze flickered with slight surprise as it passed over the bag in the housekeeper’s hand.
“Young Master Zhan, you haven’t had dinner yet, have you?”
The old housekeeper asked with a cheerful smile.
Because he had run that short distance, his breathing was slightly uneven.
Feeling warmth in his heart, Ye Zhan responded gently, “I’ll eat when I get back.”
The old housekeeper wanted to send him off with some food.
But Ye Zhan refused.
The old housekeeper seemed to want to say something more, but after hesitating for a few seconds, he remained silent.
On the way to the hospital, Ye Zhan drove a bit faster.
Once at the hospital, Tang Jinchen and Chu Junming were also present.
The three of them entered the hospital together, and Ye Zhan asked Tang Jinchen if everything was handled well on his side, “Shi Dongliang hasn’t woken up yet, but he’s not in any life danger.”
In the afternoon, Shi Dongliang was sent to the hospital, Ye Zhan didn’t follow.
Instead, he let Tang Jinchen handle it there.
“How’s your investigation going?”
Ye Zhan asked Chu Junming.
The latter nodded with a smile, “Don’t worry, big brother, everything’s going smoothly, and Shi Dongping doesn’t know yet.”
“That’s good. Shi Dongping is very cautious, be careful.”
“I know.”
“I heard you’ve been talking about a collaboration with Haochen?”
It was Tang Jinchen who asked this.
Chu Junming raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, pressed the elevator button, and said warmly, “Yes, collaborating with Mo Ziye will help the Chu Family go further.”
After a slight pause, he asked, “Big brother, second brother, I made the decision without telling you guys, do you have any objections?”
“…”
“It’s mainly because you guys have been so busy lately, I was planning to tell you after I signed the contract with Haochen.”
Chu Junming explained gently.
Although the Chu Family is a family company,
Several years ago, when the four of them became sworn brothers, without any argument, Chu Junming gave each of them 5% of his shares as a brotherhood gift.
In other words, the Chu Family’s shares he held were divided equally among the four brothers.
However, the three of them never participated in company decisions.
They didn’t even bother to look at the dividend money once it was transferred to their accounts.
“When have we ever had any objections?”
Tang Jinchen said, then turned to look at Ye Zhan.
With a ding, the elevator opened at that moment, and Tang Jinchen asked softly, “Ah Zhan, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Ye Zhan had a moment of distraction just now.
Chu Junming didn’t notice, but the keen-eyed Tang Jinchen did.
Though he could tell something was off about Ye Zhan, since Ye Zhan said nothing was wrong, Tang Jinchen didn’t ask further.
As they stepped out of the elevator, a few steps away, Feng Yize quickly approached them.
“Big brother, second brother, third brother, why did you all come together?”
“Met at the entrance.”
Chu Junming paused, then asked Feng Yize, “How’s that little girl doing?”
From afternoon until now, Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen were too busy to check on the injured little girl.
Chu Junming was at work and only learned about the afternoon incident at the end of his workday.
“She hasn’t woken up yet, but the surgery was very successful. If she recovers well later, there’ll be no sequelae… By the way, do you know the identity of those two kids?”
“You mentioned it on the phone.”
Ye Zhan said lightly.
Feng Yize defended himself, “Second brother and third brother don’t know yet, so I’ll tell you. Those two kids are actually the granddaughters of the former Minister of Defense. Their parents both died recently, leaving the kids to live with their grandparents and aunt…”
Having held it in all afternoon, Feng Yize couldn’t help but spill every bit of gossip he knew to them.
In the afternoon, he hadn’t realized those two kids had such an identity.
The three walked towards the ward as they talked.
“The former Minister of Defense’s granddaughters?”
Tang Jinchen repeated Feng Yize’s words.
As he finished speaking, the door to the ward ahead opened at that moment.
A young woman with glasses, wearing a white gown, emerged from within, pressing a cell phone to her ear as if she were on a call.
Seeing the four of them, her eyes flashed with mild surprise.
Her gaze moved between Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen, and a slight smile appeared behind her glasses. She told the person on the other end that she’d call back and hung up the phone.
“Ye Zhan, Tang Jinchen, are you here to see Guoguo?”
Having learned the little girl’s identity, neither Ye Zhan nor Tang Jinchen was surprised to see the young woman in front of them.
They had met before when her brother and sister-in-law died.
Tang Jinchen gave a nod and glanced towards the ward behind her, “I heard Guoguo’s surgery was very successful, when might she wake up?”
“Earliest by tomorrow morning.”
Although Ji Anyun is a doctor, she is a gynecologist and not Ji Guoguo’s attending physician.
She pursed her lips and gratefully said, “Thank you for saving Guoguo.”
“We didn’t save Guoguo.”
Since Ji Anyun was looking at Ye Zhan when she said it,
he lightly denied, “It was Yize and two girls who saved her, Jinchen and I weren’t there at the time.”
Ji Anyun wasn’t embarrassed by Ye Zhan’s denial.
Instead, she smiled slightly and gratefully said, “Regardless of who saved her, since you caught Shi Dongliang, as Guoguo’s aunt, I should thank you. Do you have the contact information for those two girls?”
Li Anyun had just come to the ward not long ago.
She had chatted with Feng Yize but hadn’t clarified Momo and Qin Qingqing’s identities.
All she knew was that Ye Zhan later rescued them from Shi Dongliang.
She thought they might know the contact details of those two girls.
