Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C83

Chi Yinan had yet to recover from his shock, but the moment he heard the word ‘medicine’, it was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him, extinguishing the flames in his heart. He stared at the woman below him for a long time before he lifted off the bed, found some clothes to put on in the closet, and without saying a word, he opened the door and walked out.

She tightly wrapped herself in the quilt, which sent chills down her spine. Chi Yinan looked at her as if he wanted to eat her. The sound of the door closing was even louder than usual, as if he was venting his dissatisfaction.

Chi Yinan came down from the elevator just in time to meet a couple with a child in their arms, a woman with a child in her arms, a man pushing a trolley with a bag of tissues and a bottle of milk hanging from it.

After they returned from the pharmacy, they passed by a rice porridge shop. Chi Yinan went in and ordered two servings, and on the way back, he met the couple again. But this time, they didn’t take the child with them and came out of the elevator hand in hand.

When she heard the sound of the door, she guessed that he had returned. She had already put on her clothes, and was sitting on the bed with the blanket in her arms, and her hair, which had just gotten up from the bed, did not have the time to smoothen up, as it randomly scattered on her shoulders. The curtains in the room were opened, and sunlight shone into the room.

Chi Yinan poured a cup of hot water and passed it over. She took out some more pills from the bag and handed them to her. She took a look at the pills, swallowed them in one gulp and took a few gulps of water.

The taste of the pill was a bit bitter, almost to the point of vomiting. It felt like it was stuck in his throat, making him feel very uncomfortable. Sensing her discomfort, Chi Yinan threw the remaining pills into the trash can, walked over and patted her back: “Warm Jin, get up and drink some congee.”

After she quickly washed up, Chi Yinan had already set up the dishes on the table. The Shepherd Dog named Warm Gold sat on the blanket in front of him, shaking its head and wagging its tail, occasionally glancing down at the empty basin in front of her. There wasn’t even a single piece of dog food inside, which made it difficult for it to have such a rich owner.

He found a bowl of dog food and poured it into a bowl under the tea table. He then put a small bucket of water in front of the dog and happily ate it.

“Come and eat.”

“Chi Yinan, can you take care of a dog? Can’t you see that it’s skinnier since we bought it?”

“Who asked him not to eat?” Chi Yinan was right, at first he had to feed it, but it didn’t eat it. Then it twisted its head and refused to feed it, believing that if it was too hungry, it would not eat it.

“Abusing little animals, you have no shame.”

“It’s the only one that’s pitiful, not having a mother.”

She choked on his words, turned around and took a few deep breaths before sitting down on the chair. The porridge in front of her had already turned cold, and the temperature was just right. She stirred it with the spoon, taking small sips and stuffing them into her mouth.

“I’m going to the company for dinner tonight.”

Chi Yinan took the car keys and went to the entrance to change his shoes. Then, he suddenly thought of something and entered the bedroom. She didn’t look at him and just stared at her toes in a daze.

She looked up at the sound of the door being locked. The house was quiet, the sun was shining outside, and the shepherd was sitting at her feet happily, wagging his tail. He occasionally nudged her with his body and licked her feet with his tongue.

She left Chi Yinan’s house and went to the other side, followed by the sheepdog. It was very familiar with the route, looking very arrogant, as if it was carved from the same mold as Chi Yinan. It picked a plot of land and lazily lied down, then swung its tail at her.

She ignored it and went into the bathroom. The craziness last night had left some vague marks on her body and tightly tied her up. She filled the bathtub with water and slowly immersed her body in it.

The bathroom was filled with mist, and the mirror in front of her was covered in white. She leaned against the bathtub, her mind a mess from last night. She was so shy that she wanted to bury her head in hot water.

When Kieran’s phone call came in, she had just finished washing. She was holding a hairdryer in her hand and the sheepdog was lying on the blanket, seemingly trying to make up for its sleep. “Are you guys going on vacation?”

“When are you leaving?” It was not easy, she continued, to get an answer from that person. It was likely that their relationship would improve substantially after this trip back. “What kind of wedding are you thinking about?”

Kieran was no longer shy. He picked up the microphone and turned away from the man on the balcony. “Join forces with China and the West. Bring Chi Yinan with you when the time comes.”

“There’s no need.”

“Then Lin Jingsheng.”

“Kieran, you’re short on money!”

The more she hung up the phone, the more upset she felt. Seeing the sheepdog at her feet getting, she felt like she was stuck in a dead end and couldn’t get out. She ran to the balcony to get some fresh air.

If it were not for the fact that Kieran had mentioned Lin Jingsheng, she would have forgotten that they had not seen each other for a long time. There was also Su Xiao Yun, and she remembered that he had said he wanted to break off their relationship.

They went to a bakery under her apartment building. The reason they chose this place was because she wanted to come down and buy bread, and the environment here was also good, suitable for talking. On the other hand, Jiang Yuemei had been frowning recently, as if she looked down on this small bakery.

“Actually, I’ve always thought we had nothing to say.” She asked for a cup of milky tea with pearls in it, stirring them with a straw but not drinking them.

Jiang Yuemei did not like this. She even wiped her chair with a tissue as she sat down, “Su Wenjin, in the end, you are still the young miss of the Su Family. If the Su Family falls, it will not benefit you at all.”

She took a sip of her milk tea and calmly said, “It can’t be that I’m talking about such a boring thing, right? Jiang Yuemei, I’m very busy. I’m sorry, but I don’t have the time to listen to this.”

It was probably because she had only drunk the porridge at noon, and now that she was hungry, she ate three small buns in a row and drank all of the milk tea in the cup. When she was considering if she should order another cup, Jiang Yuemei couldn’t help but hold her hand with an impatient tone, “Su Wenjin, Lin Jingsheng wants to swallow the entire Su Family, and now with just one word from you.”

Sorry, there was an accident. We didn’t climb up yesterday. We’ve been waiting for a long time. This is yesterday’s share. We’ll put it up tonight …

The last time Su Xiao Yun’s company was in an accident, when Lin Jingsheng extended a hand to help him, she felt that something was not right. Lin Jing Sheng hated Su Xiao Yun and was afraid that it was more than just a little, this time, he was the one who brought him up to the clouds, then let him fall down ruthlessly, it was truly ruthless, and it also matched his methods. Like Chi Yi Nan, they were similar in their bones, for those who had offended him, they would not be soft-hearted.

“It’s good that it’s gone. Su Xiao Yun is getting on in age, he should retire by now.” She reckoned that her tone of voice was too indifferent, with the cup in her hand, Jiang Yuemei was about to pour water over her. Fortunately, she had had the foresight to drink it all.

“Do you want me to order a drink for you?”

Jiang Yuemei’s expression turned even more unsightly, her fists clenched tightly as if she was about to hit her in the next second. She had already tidied up her clothes and stood up, preparing to leave with her packed bread. “Since there’s nothing else to say, then I should leave as well. Goodbye.”

Quickly getting out of the bakery, Jiang Yuemei followed closely behind her. The Su family’s nanny car was parked outside the bakery, and the driver had already opened the door for her. She turned her head and gave her a fierce glare before unwillingly getting in.

No matter if it was in terms of emotions or reason, she realized that she did not want to help Su Xiao Yun. However, after thinking about it carefully, she was afraid that Chi Yi Nan and Lin Jingsheng might have teamed up together, otherwise, how could they be so fast?

He went back to Chi Yinan and sat on her deck chair. The sheepdog was wearing a set of clothes, which were obviously made by him just now. It was as colorful as a peacock, but he didn’t know how it could be like this.

“Chi Yinan, take your men and your dog and disappear from my house in three seconds.”

Chi Yinan raised his eyes with satisfaction after hearing what she said, “Wan-Jin, you are trying to vent your anger. The person who pissed you off is not me or him.”

“It’s already very late when I let you out. As a neighbor, shouldn’t you have a self-consciousness of avoiding suspicion?”

“Warm Jin, our relationship isn’t very clear. You’ve met the neighbors who had a relationship with each other. At that time, we were still called neighbors.”

“Alright, I don’t want to argue with you. I’ll sleep, you can do whatever you want.” After she finished speaking, she kicked her slippers into the bedroom. Behind her, Chi Yinan said with a doubtful tone, “Warm Jin, are you here, eldest aunt? Your temper is so bad.”

The only response he got was a “bang”. The house quieted down as the sheepdog sat beside him, wagging its tail happily. Chi Yinan looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling. The light was bright, making him dizzy just by looking at it.

Su Wenjin didn’t sleep at all in the bedroom. She was lying on the bed covered with a blanket and couldn’t hear her footsteps even after a long time. She thought he had gone back home, so she changed her position in disappointment.

He opened the door and was about to shout out a few words when he saw Tang Wulin take out a bunch of green onions from behind him. Just as he was wondering what he was going to do, he heard him say hoarsely, “Warm Jin, if you’re angry, cook the green onions for me.”

She almost burst out laughing when she heard this. The domineering Chi Yinan was really cute today. He hated eating green onions the most. Now, in order to appease her anger, he asked to fry green onions for her to eat.
