"Steward Gu, are you married?" Yu Mei asked the man sitting in the driver's seat.
The man in his early thirties cleared his throat, "I am single, Miss Yu," he replied politely, looking at the rearview mirror only to find the woman nodding.
"You have good prospects. You are kind and gentle, I can introduce you to some good women in the future," Yu Mei softly, "You'd definitely be a good husband."
I'm happy as long as you don't go around provoking Master, the man thought. "Thank you, Miss Yu," He said.
"Take a right turn from here," Yu Mei pointed towards the right but her fingers seemed to graze past someone's cheek. Dumbstruck, she tilted her head to the side only to find Jun Zixuan looking at her with a darkening face.
"I…It was an accident," she pursed her lips when he didn't respond.
"Are you that desperate to touch me?"
"Mentally challenged…" she muttered under her breath.
"You…"
"Ah, Steward Gu, park the car here," She quickly spoke interrupting the man in the process.
"Yes," As Steward Gu looked outside, a furrow formed between his brows, "Miss Yu, are you sick?"
"I am fine."
Jun Zixuan looked outside at the high building with 'Sunshine Hospital' written on the top, "Why'd you come here then?" He glanced at her with a doubtful gaze.
"I have a few womanly issues which is why I want to consult the gynecologist," She nonchalantly said, "Do you want to accompany me as my husband?"
"Get out," He coldly spat and she pushed open the door before stepping out without hesitation.
As soon as she was out of the car, Jun Zixuan spoke up, "Make sure that she is not up to some new scheme."
Steward Gu nodded. The current Miss Yu seems to have turned over a new leaf but, in the end, she is still the same person who would inflict self-harm to pester Master, who knows what she is up to by going to the hospital?
Inside the hospital.
"You can't barge in like this. Wait in the queue if you can't wait…" A middle-aged woman pushed the young girl aside.
"I… Dr. Shi knows me. It's important for me to find her right now. Don't block my way," The girl had her hair tied in a high ponytail. Dressed in a simple pair of tops and jeans, she looked at them with an icy glint in her eyes.
"We all are queueing up in the to meet her. Why would you try to barge inside just like that?" Another person stood up from the waiting chair, "Do you think we would believe that Dr. Shi would know a plain jane like you?"
Without bothering to explain, the girl tried to make her way through the crowd only to be pushed back once.
"Ah…" She lost her balance but just as she was about to fall back on the floor, her hand was grabbed by someone and
she was pulled back from the crowd.
"Thank…" She turned around to look at the person who saved her but the rest of her words were stuck in her throat.
Yu Mei looked at the girl, "Be careful."
"Oh? Are you expecting me to speak words of gratitude?"
Yu Mei tilted her head to look at the person she just saved, "Although it is basic manners to do so but I don't have high
expectations for rude people." She nonchalantly said.
Don't say than you if you don't want to. What's up with the rude tone? I owe you nothing.
"Holidays aren't over yet but you have updated your skills. That face of yours…how did you get it cleaned? Plastic surgery?"
The girl's harsh tone compelled Yu Mei to take a clear look at her. Seems like the person knows her. Looking around in her
memory, she did remember something, "You are Li Shuang," She murmured as she looked at her.
This Li Shuang was once the previous owner's friend during high school. They even entered the same university. Although, Yu Mei was a scheming person, she treated this friend rather well.
She had no idea about Li Shuang's family background, her likes or dislikes but since the girl did not judge her based on her body shape and her illegitimate status in the family, she was pretty close to her.
But things changed between them when Li Shuang got in a relationship with her classmate. The previous owner had to be a certified man chaser who had her eyes for the same pretty man. What happened later was when she was confessing to him, the whole thing was witnessed by Li Shuang who slapped her right that instant.
Yu Mei sighed her head. What a mess! As to how Li Shuang recognized her right now was because in the school days the previous was fat but her face was not scarred by acne and pimples. When she began over-indulging herself in fast food and all, things started to get ugly for her face.
"Oh? You don't recognize me now?" Li Shuang indifferently glanced at her, "Don't try to act kind with me. I am not buying your act."
After saying that, she turned around to walk towards Dr. Shi's office only to be blocked by the rest of the people once again.
"Hey girl, Dr. Shi comes to our country only once a month and she is only available at this hospital on this day. Do you know how long we have traveled to and waited for our turn? You are mannerless to barge in just like that. Make the appointment and wait for your turn." An old man spoke up in a stern voice.
The corridor filled with what looked like twenty to thirty people was silent for a moment before murmurs of agreement shot through.
Li Shuang pursed her lips, "But…"
"Go on. Argue with them if you want them to go all out on you," Yu Mei indifferently said as she crossed her hands in front of her chest. Her overwhelming belly bulging out a little more with her little action.
"You don't have to tell me what should I do," Li Shuang said without looking at her.
"What's going on here?"
