Chapter 19

"Do you perform heart transplant surgery?" Bai Bai Ziling asked with feigned indifference.

"We don't!"

"What about brain transplant surgery?"

"Please!"

"Then you can't help." Bai Bai Ziling forced a helpless smile. "This person, Jiang Jie, needs a new heart and a new brain. Ideally, he should suddenly lose his memory, and then I can implant some beautiful, correct things into him. I wonder if there's a drug on the market that causes amnesia."

"There isn't!" Sima Sima Xingchen stopped her from continuing her flights of fancy. "So you'd better think of something more feasible."

"I give up."

"Give up?!" Xia Zhen thought it was a pity. "Don't! Is Jiang Jie more cold-blooded and ruthless than Lei Lei Hanyu was back then? Just look at him now."

"Xia Zhen, not every man can be like Lei Lei Hanyu."

"Bai Bai Ziling, you are the most feminine and the most ambitious of us four. How much time is left?" Chang Chang Weiwei was already past her due date and was now living cautiously.

"One month."

"Bai Bai Ziling, you've been living under the same roof as a man and a woman for a whole two months, and absolutely nothing happened?!" Xia Zhen simply couldn't understand. "Is there something wrong with Jiang Jie?"

"He once asked me... if I were to have a relationship with him, whether I should be paid more." Bai Bai Ziling sighed.

"Damn it!"

"Slap him."

"Tell him to go find one of those who are 'for sale'."

"That's exactly what I mean!" Bai Bai Ziling felt the coffee in her mouth was particularly bitter and hard to swallow. "Sometimes I feel he clearly has something for me, but immediately we end up arguing over a single word."

"Arguing is also a form of communication." Xia Zhen said immediately.

"He even suspects I'm having an affair with his cousin." Bai Bai Ziling rested her head on her arm, listless and unenthusiastic. "What on earth does he think I am?"

"You and Jiang Jie's cousin?" Chang Chang Weiwei was startled.

"It's nothing."

"If he gets jealous..." Sima Sima Xingchen murmured.

"He's just afraid of losing face." Bai Bai Ziling snorted coldly.

"Bai Bai Ziling, regardless of his mindset, as long as he cares, it's a good thing. At least he isn't indifferent. Men sometimes express their feelings in strange ways. Wasn't I once swept out the door by Lei Lei Hanyu and became a deserted wife?" Xia Zhen blinked.

"That's because you actually dared to take away his child on your own!" Sima Sima Xingchen still felt terrified thinking about it. "It was a living life!"

"At that time..." Xia Zhen wanted to defend herself.

"Wrong is wrong!" Chang Chang Weiwei joined the ranks of those besieging Xia Zhen.

"I thought he didn't want children. I was afraid that if the child came into the world, it would only have its mother to love it. How pitiful that would be!" Xia Zhen had her own considerations and immense reluctance. "You are not me."

"Hey! Are you guys getting a bit off-topic?" Bai Bai Ziling came to Xia Zhen's rescue. "Don't worry, I will never have such a problem."

"Jiang Jie is truly hard to figure out." Sima Sima Xingchen spoke up.

"Yes! He doesn't play by the rules." Chang Chang Weiwei added.

"That is the challenge!" President Jiang said excitedly.

Bai Bai Ziling said, "It's just that I'm already tired. Perhaps if I use this three million to trade stocks or invest, maybe I won't need a wealthy husband at all; I can rely on myself!"

"Bai Bai Ziling, that's three million, not thirty million."

"It's three million New Taiwan Dollars, not three million US Dollars."

"It's not even enough to buy a Ferrari."

Bai Bai Ziling of course knew that, but at least she had three million. After spending three months... she had at least gained something.

"Bai Bai Ziling, you also know Qiu Bao. He has saved quite a lot of money, and he's cool. Currently, he doesn't have a fixed partner." Sima Sima Xingchen wanted to play matchmaker.

"Sima Sima Xingchen, Qiu Bao is good, but he always has a fierce, demonic expression. I'm scared of him. I really don't know how you managed to become brothers with him?" Bai Bai Ziling marveled.

"I have that same question." Xia Zhen said immediately.

"Me too!" Chang Chang Weiwei chimed in, not to be outdone.

"It's just what you often say: as long as you understand a person's personality and psychology, what is there that can't be reconciled?" Sima Sima Xingchen looked at Bai Bai Ziling. "You've lived together for two months, but have you deeply understood him? Do you know what's in his heart and mind?"

"I said I'm already tired..."

"Bai Bai Ziling, a woman with even a little ambition would have already 'subdued' Jiang Jie. Don't be so lame!" Xia Zhen deliberately provoked her.

"I'm dead."

"Bai Bai Ziling, you've always been very confident in yourself."

"There are other men." Bai Bai Ziling pretended not to care.

"That's not like you at all."

"You are not me." Bai Bai Ziling still seemed like a defeated rooster, somewhat disheartened. "Yesterday I received a call from my sister. She said my mother hasn't been feeling well lately; she always has a poor appetite and often complains of stomach pain. I don't know if it's serious."

"Then go back and check on her!"

"I'm afraid that if I go home, I won't return to Jiang Jie's place!"

"You... really have no hope left?" Chang Chang Weiwei confirmed again.

"There is no forced love in this world. Jiang Jie only married me for his grandfather's inheritance. He has no feelings for me; I'm just a tool he 'rented' with money. I'm about to 'miscarry,' do you know?" Bai Bai Ziling felt it was funny. "I don't even know what the taste of making love is, yet I'm about to taste the fate of a miscarriage."

Upon hearing this, the three of them gave a bitter smile. Suddenly, Chang Chang Weiwei screamed, "I... I feel my water breaking..." She raised her voice, both excited and frightened.

"What do we do?!" Sima Sima Xingchen and Bai Bai Ziling, having no experience, were at a loss. "Should we call an ambulance?"

"The first child won't come out this fast. First, call Han Ze and tell him his little Princess is finally coming out to meet the world. Also, grab the big bag Chang Weiwei has already prepared. I'll drive; we'll take Chang Weiwei to the hospital together!" Xia Zhen was glad she hadn't brought her precious son.

"I'm going to be a mother..." Chang Chang Weiwei cried and laughed at the same time.

"Don't get happy yet; you still have a lot of pain to endure!" Xia Zhen reminded her.

Sima Sima Xingchen and Bai Bai Ziling exchanged a glance.

"I think I'll get pregnant later." Sima Sima Xingchen said in fear.

"I don't want to give birth either." Bai Bai Ziling also showed a frightened look.

"You... you are still far from giving birth!" The three of them said to Bai Bai Ziling at the same time: "Get 'truly' married first, then worry after the wedding!"

Jiang Jie did not know what had happened to Bai Bai Ziling, nor did he know if she counted as missing, or if he should call the police, because it was already past four-thirty in the morning, dawn was almost breaking, yet Bai Bai Ziling's figure... was still unknown where she was!

He had gone to look for her room; the mobile phone and some designer leather bags were there, the quilt was not folded, and on the coffee table was a pack of nutritious biscuits she had eaten half of; this did not look like leaving without a word, and she still had one million five hundred thousand yuan uncollected; she could not possibly disappear for no reason!

Then where was she?

Now dawn was almost breaking; where had she gone for this night?

His uncle had already transferred the five hundred million into his company account today, so even if Bai Bai Ziling "ran away from home," it caused him no loss; yet why was he still so worried? What exactly had happened to her?!

He originally intended to call his cousin, but if he did, it would mean he did not trust Bai Bai Ziling; then the last thread of hope between him and her would also be shattered, and he would make his cousin laugh at him; he could not call...

Originally, after meeting Yu Si, he had decided to adjust his mindset, but now... he only wanted to strangle Bai Bai Ziling, if she were standing before him right now.

After five o'clock in the morning, Jiang Jie, who had not slept all night, decided to call the emergency rooms of various hospitals; perhaps she had met with some accident? Perhaps she was now dying? Perhaps she simply could not make a phone call anymore... Jiang Jie thought of all the bad things.

When Jiang Jie picked up the phone and was about to ask the directory assistance for the phone numbers of the emergency rooms of major hospitals, the main door opened...
