Chapter 2196: A Tempting Proposal

~7 min read 1,368 words

But those thoughts were like a swarm of invisible insects, scrambling to burrow into Jiang Mobai's brain.

He couldn't drive them away.

This feeling was too torturous.

Jiang Mobai was powerless to fend them off.

He thought he needed to go to the Hospital for a check-up.

Whether the result was good or bad, it was better than his wild imagination.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Mobai found an excuse to take leave and went to the Hospital alone.

He had a full-body check-up.

And the process of waiting for the results was agonizing.

Jiang Mobai sat on a bench and began to let his imagination run wild again.

He knew clearly that doing this was meaningless.

But he simply could not control himself...

"Number 1516, please enter the consultation room."

Jiang Mobai, whose number was called, gave a start.

He looked up at the screen, confirmed the number was correct, and only then slowly stood up and walked inside.

Jiang Mobai's doctor had a stern face.

However, his attitude was quite amiable.

He gestured for Jiang Mobai to sit down and then communicated with him: "I have reviewed your examination report; you have Intermittent Sensory Integration Disorder."

"Is this illness... serious? Will it affect my driving?"

"It's not just driving; if it cannot be cured, it will cause many inconveniences in your life. But you don't need to be nervous either; as long as you cooperate well, it will get better."

The doctor then introduced Jiang Mobai's condition to him in detail.

As well as the treatment methods.

Simply put, Jiang Mobai's ailment was caused by excessive emotional tension.

Therefore, the best way to be cured was to relax himself and change his lifestyle habits.

But for Jiang Mobai...

This was actually very difficult.

Jiang Mobai did not have that much time to slowly reshape himself.

He asked the doctor: "Is there any method that produces immediate results?"

The doctor laughed upon hearing this.

He said: "With your mindset, it is destined that the treatment process cannot be fast. Nothing is more important than your own body; young man, you must learn to reconcile with yourself."

"I know, but..."

Jiang Mobai did not continue.

And the doctor could tell from his complexion that this young man bore many responsibilities.

Living in this world, everyone has their own difficulties.

The doctor was also accustomed to the cold and warmth of human relationships and knew that saying more would be useless, so he did not try to persuade him further.

But he offered a plan suitable for Jiang Mobai: "If you are not afraid of pain, you can try Electroconvulsive Therapy; it is fast-acting."

Jiang Mobai was only attracted by the three words "fast-acting."

As for the rest?

It could be ignored!

There was one more thing...

Why did this method sound so familiar?

Jiang Mobai recalled a little and thought of how his mother had once mentioned this treatment method to him.

But at that time, it was to help Jiang Mobai quit drinking.

Now, having come full circle... he hadn't escaped it after all.

Jiang Mobai gave a bitter smile.

When he looked up, he said with a serious face: "Fine, I accept this method!"

"You have a lot of courage; many people leave the moment they hear the two words 'electroconvulsive'."

If it were the past Jiang Mobai, he certainly would have stood up and left too.

But now, Jiang Mobai was not afraid of pain.

He was only afraid of not seeing hope.

"By the way, you need to come to the Hospital twice a week for treatment; if time permits, three times is the most effective."

This...

Jiang Mobai hesitated.

It wasn't that he had started to get scared in hindsight.

It was that he really couldn't coordinate the time.

After considering for a moment, Jiang Mobai made a request: "Can you provide treatment at home?"

This was the first time the doctor had heard such a request.

He couldn't help but stop the movements of his hands, then looked up and stared at Jiang Mobai in silence.

Jiang Mobai hurriedly explained: "I know my request might be abrupt, but I can pay extra!"

"The Hospital has the Hospital's rules; this is not a question of money."

"Five hundred thousand, one week."

"... Then let me ask for you."

In the end, through the power of Jiang Mobai's money, the Hospital made an exception to provide Jiang Mobai with house-call treatment.

But it was not to the front door of the Li Family.

It was to the racing team.

The racing team had a small cabin that no one used; its location was very remote, and usually, no one would go there.

Jiang Mobai could take advantage of everyone's rest time to receive treatment there.

Anyway, it was only half an hour; it would be easy to get through...

Having made the arrangements in his heart, Jiang Mobai felt his whole body relax.

When he walked out of the Hospital, his steps were light.

"Mobai!?"

Just as Jiang Mobai was preparing to get into the car to return to the racing team, he heard someone calling his name.

There was even a sense of joy in the other person's voice.

But after hearing it, Jiang Mobai unconsciously darkened his expression.

He turned around, looked at Sui Xin behind him, and nodded with detachment.

Afterward, he prepared to get in the car and leave.

Sui Xin called out to him again and said, "I have something to tell you; it's about Su Kexuan!"

Her words successfully made Jiang Mobai stop.

Sui Xin knew that Jiang Mobai had no patience for her.

So she did not dare to act infatuated, but quickly got to the point: "Su Kexuan has encountered some trouble recently; it's very tricky."

"What trouble?"

"Her company had a project that was originally progressing well in every aspect, but it was halted by Su Kexuan and even taken by the company's competitor."

A project...

Jiang Mobai pondered for a moment, frowned, and asked, "That project in Dong Qu?"

"Yes, how did you know? Could it be... you already know about this? Then I won't say any more."

Sui Xin wore a cautious expression, not wanting to say more.

However, her hesitation only made Jiang Mobai feel annoyed.

His brow furrowed even tighter, and he urged, "Continue!"

Sui Xin was very uneasy.

She pinched her fingers before continuing: "People in the company are saying that Su Kexuan reached some kind of agreement with the competitor, which is why she withdrew voluntarily..."

"What a bunch of idiots, talking nonsense!"

"I also think they are talking nonsense; with Su Kexuan's ability, there is no need to betray the company at all. But everyone is very dissatisfied with her, feeling that Su Kexuan is two-faced and sold out the company's interests..."

The more Sui Xin spoke, the colder Jiang Mobai's expression became.

In the end, it was so cold that Sui Xin dared not speak anymore.

Sui Xin also dared not meet his eyes, so she lowered her head and said cautiously, "Should I not have told you this?"

Jiang Mobai did not answer.

He only asked, "How is Kexuan's condition?"

"When we met, there was no smile on her face, and she looked quite exhausted. Mobai, if possible, go and coax Su Kexuan."

When Sui Xin said this, she was as sincere as possible.

But Jiang Mobai still looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.

He even asked, "What is your motive?"

"My motive is just to hope that you and Su Kexuan are both doing well!"

Jiang Mobai laughed.

But his laugh was very cold.

What he said was also very indifferent: "Are you too lazy to even make up a plausible reason?"

Jiang Mobai's lack of trust made Sui Xin anxious.

She clutched her chest and said eagerly, "What I said is true! My only wish now is for the two of you to be happy! If you need it, I can help you find out news about Su Kexuan!"

Jiang Mobai told himself not to pay attention to this woman who was full of lies.

However...

Sui Xin's proposal made his heart waver...
