Chapter 72

Shen Xun pinched Jiang Lai's shoulders with both hands, making Jiang Lai's small face wrinkle slightly.

"What are you doing, what are you doing?" Grandma Chi, who came over with medicine, couldn't stand it anymore, swinging her cane and hitting Shen Xun's arm, "Even if you are her husband, you can't treat my patient like this!"

"Didn't you see she is still weak? Really, the first thing you do when you rush over isn't to care about your wife's physical condition, but to bully her. I've never seen a husband like you."

"Not as good as the young man just now; at least he knew how to help on the side, handing water and towels."

"She has so many needles in her body and is still in pain. Let go of me!" Grandma Chi glared at him spiritedly.

Shen Xun let go immediately.

"You had acupuncture?"

"I already told you it was a medicinal bath plus acupuncture." Shen Xun was always so careless about her affairs, yet he acted as if he was jealous.

Actually, it wasn't called jealousy, but a kind of possessiveness over his own private property.

Shen Xun didn't treat her as a person.

"Child, come, drink this medicine." Grandma Chi had just put the medicine on the table, but forgot a bit and turned around again.

"Here, Grandma." Chi Ce walked in and handed it to Jiang Lai, intentionally squeezing Shen Xun and Lin Shutong aside, "Don't surround her so tightly; it's not good for the patient's recovery."

"Thank you, Doctor Chi, thank you, Grandma Chi."

"Good child, drink it. It's just a pity, it was too urgent; otherwise, I could have someone make this Chinese medicine into jelly or something, so it wouldn't be bitter. You young people like this now."

"It's okay, Grandma Chi, thank you." Jiang Lai forced a smile; the whole person was too exhausted, and the smile looked a bit miserable.

The little look made Grandma Chi feel even more distressed.

Especially when Jiang Lai had acupuncture, she would rather bite the towel and grab the edge of the wooden barrel tightly without making a sound.

Seeing Jiang Lai finish the medicine, Shen Xun said: "Thank you, two Doctors Chi. Can I take Jiang Lai home now?"

Grandma Chi opened her mouth, but was gently pulled by her grandson's sleeve.

"Shouldn't it be okay yet? Grandma."

Grandma Chi looked at her grandson. She didn't want to care about other people's family affairs, but thinking of how Shen Xun didn't care about his wife's physical condition just now, she had a rough idea.

"Mm, have to observe for another night."

Chi Ce looked at Shen Xun: "President Shen, Miss Lin, I'm really sorry, our place here is just a small medical hall, not like a hospital where people can stay to accompany the bed. Please come back tomorrow when you have time."

Grandma Chi asked Jiang Lai: "Do you mind sleeping with my old woman tonight?"

Jiang Lai shook her head: "Thank you, Grandma Chi."

"Good child." Grandma Chi touched her head, "Then come with me."

Jiang Lai got up, her body swayed slightly, and Shen Xun immediately stepped forward to support her, but Jiang Lai had already reached out to support the chair and stood firm.

He wasn't as fast as her.

Lin Shutong looked at Shen Xun's subconscious movements, and the bag in her hand was almost ripped.

A-Xun still cared too much about Jiang Lai.

This plan didn't work; what should she do next?

It's really going to be a long night with many dreams.

"A-Xun, since that's the case, let's go back first and come pick up Jiang Lai tomorrow."

Shen Xun didn't seem to want to leave.

Jiang Lai said: "You guys go back. Don't come pick me up tomorrow; I have to get up early to go to work."

"You're like this and still want to go to work? Are you going to work, or are you going to see someone?" Shen Xun's seeds of suspicion had long been planted.

Jiang Lai was too lazy to argue with him.

"You don't even want to talk to me now?" Shen Xun was dissatisfied in his heart and grabbed her wrist, "Jiang Lai, how did you become like this?"

Jiang Lai glanced at Lin Shutong.

Lin Shutong smiled shamelessly.

Shen Xun's phone rang.

"It's Xiao Xi's call, A-Xun." Lin Shutong reminded impatiently.

Shen Xun picked up the phone and left in a hurry.

"Jiang Lai, I'll come pick you up tomorrow; don't run around."

"Shutong, let's go."

"Okay, A-Xun."

The two left.

Chi Ce closed the medical hall door and came back to hand the phone to Jiang Lai: "President Ke told me to give it to you."

Jiang Lai looked at her phone and whispered: "So that's how President Ke found me."

"Secretary Jiang, President Shen isn't your ex-husband yet, right?" Chi Ce heard everything Shen Xun said just now.

Jiang Lai shook her head.

"Then the woman beside him is his secretary? Inseparable, and calling so affectionately."

"Not a secretary." Jiang Lai lowered her eyes, "It's his sweetheart."

Chi Ce wasn't surprised; it was expected.

"Doctor Chi, thank you for letting me stay."

"President Ke's meaning, I'm just following orders." Chi Ce looked her up and down; it turned out President Ke liked this cold and broken type.

"It's already two in the morning; rest early." Chi Ce sent a message to Ke Zhongyu while saying this.

The matter has been settled.

Secretary Jiang was not taken away.

Ke Zhongyu, who received the message, breathed a sigh of relief in secret and didn't reply.

The phone popped up with a message from Jiang Lai again.

【President Ke, thank you for tonight. When you have time, please do me the honor of having a meal.】

Ke Zhongyu typed: 【Mm.】

Jiang Lai: 【Rest early, President Ke.】

Ke Zhongyu: 【Your box is with me.】

Jiang Lai: 【Please keep it for me for now, President Ke; the box is very important to me.】

This time Ke Zhongyu didn't reply.

Because his phone was out of power.

Jiang Lai waited for a while and fell asleep from exhaustion.

Ke Lin Hotel.

After Shen Xun went over, he only saw his sister rolling on the ground, and the police were standing beside her.

"I already said I don't know what's going on; it has nothing to do with me. You can't just arrest me like this!"

"Someone called the police, so we came to verify. You just need to go to the police station to cooperate with our investigation, and you can go home if there's nothing wrong. Sitting here and refusing to leave is delaying each other's time."

Shen Xi was just dragging out time.

She had to wait for her brother to come.

Seeing Shen Xun, Shen Xi immediately stopped crying, ran to her brother's side, and said aggrievedly: "They slandered me."

The police recognized this President Shen who had just appeared in the financial magazine last year, so they said: "President Shen, we are all acting according to the rules."

"I know." Shen Xun blocked his sister behind him first, then explained to the police, "Everything is just a misunderstanding."

"Whether it's a misunderstanding will only be known after questioning and investigation. Now, not only the Ke Lin Hotel, but a Ms. Jiang also called the police. Releasing dangerous substances to endanger public safety and intentional injury already belong to the category of criminal cases."

"Instead of making things difficult for us here, President Shen, it's better to talk to Ke Lin and that Ms. Jiang, or find a defense lawyer." The leading police officer turned his head and said seriously, "Take her away."

Shen Xi was forcibly taken away.

"Brother! Brother! Sister Shutong! I don't want to go to the police station! Save me, save me, this matter really has nothing to do with me; it was Jiang Lai who deliberately slandered me! I also want to sue Jiang Lai for slandering me!"

Shen Xun watched his sister being taken into the police car.

"What should we do, A-Xun?" Lin Shutong said with a worried face, "Jiang Lai's heart is too cruel; how could she treat Xiao Xi like this?"

"Jiang Lai didn't treat you as a family at all, A-Xun."

"She not only didn't treat you as a family, but also joined forces with other men to bully Xiao Xi. How could she treat you like this?"
