Chapter 554
Ye Junqing was taken aback, then he heard Fu Zhuo say, “Xiao Zhou told me she fell ill yesterday, had a high fever all day long, and was vomiting and having diarrhea last night. Apparently, Xia Ye Zhao stayed with her through the night. Honestly, what is Xia Ye Zhao thinking? Doesn’t he know to avoid suspicion, especially after those ambiguous photos captured by the paparazzi?”noveldrama
Ye Junqing’s eyebrows furrowed: “She fell ill yesterday; why didn’t anyone inform me?”
He had texted Xia Yuwei before leaving the capital yesterday evening, saying he had to go to Lin City and wouldn’t be back for the night. She had replied with a simple “Oh.” How come she didn’t say she was sick then? That she had acute gastroenteritis? That she had been running a high fever all day, vomiting and having diarrhea?
Fu Zhuo innocently protested, “Junqing, I only found out when Xiao Zhou called me just now, and I rushed to inform you right away. This isn’t my fault.”
He had been striving to be efficient all day, aiming to provide the best assistance.
Just like when Mr. Ting instructed him to deal with Yan Xi, and handed him his phone to chat with Yan Xi since he himself didn’t have time, Fu Zhuo had been busy using Junqing’s phone to communicate with Yan Xi for the past few days.
The day before yesterday, he used Junqing’s phone to chat with Yan Xi all afternoon and night. After Junqing picked up Yan Xi from the airport and dropped her off at the Yan’s family home, he had then returned the phone. During this time, he also spun a white lie on behalf of Junqing.
When Junqing was dropping Yan Xi off at her home, Ye Xingguang texted, asking where Junqing was. He smartly replied on behalf of Junqing, saying that there was an urgent meeting at the company. Otherwise, who knows what Ye Xingguang would have imagined if she found out that Junqing was dropping Yan Xi off at home in the middle of the night!
After sending the text message, he even deleted the chat with Ye Xingguang, playing the role of a good, untraceable hero.
The day before, he also sent many text messages on behalf of Junqing to Yan Xi, confirming the dinner time. Just then, Ye Xingguang texted again, asking Junqing to come back to the hospital for a meal of chopped peppery fish head. If he hadn’t smartly replied that Junqing had to work overtime that night, could Junqing have gotten past the mother-in-law’s test?
After sending the text, he also deleted the chat with Ye Xingguang, playing the untraceable hero again.
He did all these good deeds without taking credit with Junqing. If Junqing is blaming him for not knowing about Ye Xingguang falling sick immediately, then it’s really unfair. Can he always be the perfect assistant? There are bound to be times when he can’t keep up with everything.
Images of Ye Xingguang vomiting and having diarrhea flashed through Ye Junqing’s mind, making his eyebrows furrow: “Where’s my phone?”
Fu Zhuo handed over the phone, and Ye Junqing immediately dialed Ye Xingguang’s number.
Upon hearing the phone ring and seeing “Malignant Tumor” flashing on the screen, Ye Xingguang felt a pang of bitterness in her nose. She didn’t want to pick up the call and appear like a pitiful complainant, so she declined the call directly.
Ye Junqing was taken aback. Why did she hang up on him?
Ye Junqing made another call, but it was again declined. His face immediately turned grave.
When Ye Junqing tried to call for the third time, a voice from the phone said: “Sorry, the number you dialed is currently on another call, please try again later…”
Was someone else calling her, or…
Had he been blocked?
No way, she wouldn’t block him. Probably someone else was calling her, which is why that voice recording played.
