Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Little Jia You Becomes a Scapegoat
In order not to disrupt the current mood of that little woman, he had no choice but to swallow his words of explanation, planning to wait for a better opportunity to explain later.
What troubled him even more was the current problem—what excuse to use to approach that little woman.
The little woman had made it clear that if he dared step into her ward again, she’d discharge herself immediately. To avoid hindering her treatment, he grudgingly returned home to catch up on sleep.
No matter how good his health was, long periods without sleep would wear even iron down.
Yet, back at home, he couldn’t stop worrying about the woman in the hospital. Did she still have a fever? Was she still feeling unwell? Had the rash gone down?
What angered him even more was that dead woman. Knowing full well she was allergic to seafood, she still ate it and ended up getting herself hospitalized.
What frustrated him more was himself; all these years, he didn’t even know the little woman was allergic to seafood.
Just as Zhao Tianchen was blaming a certain woman for not taking better care of herself, a voice continued on the other end of the phone: "Tianchen, do you know any fun places in B City? Suitable for teenagers."
Zhao Tianchen was momentarily stunned but quickly caught on: "Is Lin Mubai’s future son with you?" Among their group, only Lin Mubai had a teenager at home.
"Yeah, I took the little guy out to play today." Xi Shaoqi smartly kept his words concise, otherwise, he’d go crazy dealing with this guy’s incessant questioning.
He expected the other party would immediately offer his opinion, but to his surprise, a delighted voice reached his ears: "Text me your address, I’ll be right over." And with that, his call was abruptly disconnected.
Holding the phone that had been hung up, Xi Shaoqi was utterly baffled. After a moment’s thought, he figured it wasn’t so bad for that guy to come over—it’d be helpful to have him entertain the little guy. But soon he realized he’d been overthinking; that guy was simply an exceptionally cunning person who even roped in the little one to pursue a woman.
After Xi Shaoqi sent over the address, Zhao Tianchen quickly arrived. In such an incredibly short time, he had already dressed up, embodying the image of a graceful gentleman, remembering An Nan’s words in his heart. An Jiayou took the initiative to greet: "Uncle Tianchen, you’re here."
One had to admit, Little Jia You had an exceptional memory; having met only once, he remembered the other person’s name.
Seeing the little one, Zhao Tianchen immediately ignored Xi Shaoqi beside him: "Little Jia You, good morning. Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet, I’m planning to have breakfast with Uncle Shaoqi."
"How about we all have breakfast together?"
"Okay."
After a delicious breakfast, before Xi Shaoqi could ask where they were heading next, Zhao Tianchen was already discussing plans with Little Jia You: "Jiayou, will you help uncle with something?"
Without hesitation, Little Jia You immediately nodded and agreed: "Sure."
Not giving Xi Shaoqi any chance to speak, he led the group straight to the parking lot. The whole way, Xi Shaoqi repeatedly asked where they were going, but Zhao Tianchen only responded with a mysterious smile and remained silent—all the way until the car stopped in front of the hospital.
Both Xi Shaoqi and Little Jia You looked at him with puzzled expressions, and only then did Young Master Zhao awkwardly explain: "Jiayou, you know, Aunt Xin Ru has been admitted to the hospital. Shall we go and visit her together?"
