Chapter 191: Poop-like Logic

~7 min read 1,330 words

Jiang Lai: "Lin Shutong just went to obstetrics and gynecology, and also had a color ultrasound exam."

Ke Zhongyu understood her meaning and only said three words: "Leave it to me."

Jiang Lai looked into the man's deep black eyes: "My focus will be entirely on the Three-Region Project; other projects I will temporarily set aside."

Ke Zhongyu originally wanted to say no; after all, Jiang Lai's institute is the client, so it should be Jiang Lai making things difficult for the Ke Clan, but it sounds a bit like the Ke Clan is making things difficult for Jiang Lai.

Who dares to make things difficult for Jiang Lai?

No one can.

Jiang Lai's test report has already been obtained, and Lin Shutong's pregnancy test report is also not a problem; the two have no reason to stay in the hospital, let's go out together.

Director Qu hasn't returned yet; Jiang Lai sent a message to Chi Ce, hoping he would thank Director Qu on her behalf.

Ke Zhongyu caught sight of it, his gaze faintly flashing coldly: "I also have Director Qu's contact info; why look for Chi Ce."

Jiang Lai said: "It's different; Doctor Chi and Doctor Qu are from the same family. You should be considered Doctor Qu's boss. You go on my behalf to thank Doctor Qu? That sounds strange."

Ke Zhongyu didn't find it strange.

Jiang Lai put away her phone, then turned to Ke Zhongyu and said: "Also thank you for finding Doctor Qu for me, and expediting the test report."

Ke Zhongyu slightly raised his eyebrows.

Not forgetting him, that's about right.

Ke Zhongyu noticed Jiang Lai's lip color was a bit pale; this shouldn't happen, Mo Yi has always taken good care of Jiang Lai.

"You haven't eaten anything?"

"I had breakfast." Jiang Lai looked at him with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"

"Your complexion looks off." Ke Zhongyu suspected she was hypoglycemic and prepared to call Secretary Cen to send some sugar over.

When he picked up his phone, Jiang Lai also pulled a piece of chocolate from the pocket of her clothing.

The one she left at Villa No. 9 last night.

"It should be a bit of hypoglycemia." Jiang Lai guessed the same, while tearing open the wrapper, revealing a square chocolate; she opened her mouth and took a bite.

Ke Zhongyu put down his phone, watching her eat in tiny bites, like a small hamster chewing slowly, always very earnest when eating.

Jiang Lai realized he was staring at her, so she tore off the whole wrapper, broke the chocolate into two pieces, handed the unbit side over, and a "mm" sounded from her nasal cavity.

"Mm, here you go."

Ke Zhongyu looked at the chocolate extended before him; he never eats this kind of thing.

It gets stuck between teeth.

Opening his mouth to speak is a black tooth.

But this is what Jiang Lai gave him.

After eating, he can't talk to Jiang Lai later.

But this is what Jiang Lai gave him.

Ke Zhongyu reached out, took a small bite.

Jiang Lai saw him eat, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her eyes and lips.

"Sister-in-law?"

A sudden voice cut in.

Jiang Lai followed the voice and saw Xie Yongsi.

After being surprised, Xie Yongsi walked toward Jiang Lai.

He hadn't dared to confirm that this person was Jiang Lai, just as he hadn't dared to confirm that the Dr. Jiang reported earlier was Jiang Lai; the change was too great.

Not a change in facial features, but in overall aura and temperament.

Wearing comfortable, well‑fitting clothes, black hair smooth, skin moist; even standing beside the powerful aura of Ke Zhongyu, she didn't look like a delicate flower clinging to a big tree, but rather like a fresh bamboo growing beside it.

No wonder Shen Xun is reluctant to let go, and no wonder Shen Xun got stomach cramps from anger over the divorce; anyone would be reluctant, anyone would find it hard to let go.

Because Ke Zhongyu was also present, Xie Yongsi didn't dare to get too close to the two; he stopped at a distance of one meter.

"Sister-in-law, are you here to see Shen Xun?"

"He didn't tell you we divorced?" Jiang Lai looked at him.

Xie Yongsi was stunned: "I just found out."

Jiang Lai: "Then don't call me that anymore."

Xie Yongsi smiled: "I'm used to it, can't change my words right away."

"Then change it now." Jiang Lai has always known Xie Yongsi is good at playing evasive tricks, "Young Master Xie, Shen Xun's white moonlight affair, the white moonlight belongs to Lin Shutong, actually you told me."

Xie Yongsi's smile froze, panic flashed in his eyes: "When?"

This can't be said casually; Shen Xun knows it could kill him.

He considered that his secret‑keeping mission these past years had been done well.

"A month ago, when the Self‑developed Chip Project was completed and only the bidding remained, I returned early to give Shen Xun a surprise, and heard your conversation," Jiang Lai watched Xie Yongsi's expression shift continuously, continued, "I learned from you about the white moonlight and the three million research fund."

Xie Yongsi's face turned pale.

Jiang Lai always left work on time; who would have known she came back early that day!

"Sister-in-law, this matter..."

"Could this matter still be false?" Jiang Lai's eyes widened slightly, "You are more persuasive than Shen Xun?"

Xie Yongsi was defeated.

He really can't match Shen Xun at persuasion.

But he is Shen Xun's brother; now his brother lies in a hospital bed, disinterested in tea or food, occasionally tormented by stomach pain, and still wants to help his brother.

"Sister..."

Before the character "Zi" could be spoken, Xie Yongsi received the cold gaze from Ke Zhongyu that always carried presence, and he quickly changed to call Jiang Lai by name.

Xun-ge really messed up this matter; you can't forgive him—can you go see him? He hasn't eaten anything for a day, getting weaker and weaker; he originally had a stomachache, not eating will only make it worse.

Jiang Lai remained unmoved: "What does it have to do with me?"

It wasn't even a questioning tone.

Xie Yongsi himself felt chilled; Jiang Lai is really too heartless.

"Xun-ge's stomach got better only because you spent time and effort to nurse it back; now his old illness has flared up—isn't that wasting your careful care?"

Jiang Lai was stunned by Xie Yongsi's logic, which was as crappy as shit.

Ke Zhongyu said coldly: "His stomach got better thanks to Jiang Lai; Jiang Lai left without taking his stomach with her—already merciful enough."

At that moment, Xie Yongsi was stunned by Ke Zhongyu's words; although he didn't dare directly contradict the venerable President of Ke Group, he still wanted to say something for his brother: "Ke Zong, that's not right, is it?"

"Isn't that wrong?" Ke Zhongyu asked Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai said: "That's the logic."

She even began to analyze: "Shen Xun worked himself to death earning money for Lin Shutong's career, which ruined his stomach; I painstakingly nursed his stomach back to health, only to discover he was hypocritical, and then I left—so the stomach I healed should leave with me."

Xie Yongsi almost couldn't catch his breath.

Can you even calculate like that?

Jiang Lai looked at the disbelieving Xie Yongsi: "Now his stomach is bad again—that's normal."

Ke Zhongyu: "Too bad it wasn't cut off."

Jiang Lai: "... That's illegal, Ke Zhongyu."

Ke Zhongyu: "Hmm."

Got it.

Xie Yongsi was completely shut out by the two of them, unable to win an argument, so he said: "Jiang Lai, do you really have to be this ruthless? We were husband and wife."

"Being husband and wife makes it even less excusable." Jiang Lai said politely, "Please tell Shen Xun that regarding the lawsuit over marital property, I won't just sue Lin Shutong—I'll sue him too."
