Chapter 319 From now on, let's not contact each other anymore!
The moment Liang Liangwei carried the food into the room, the door to the study on the other side of the corridor opened, and several officers filed out.
Hearing the sound, she quickly slipped inside, then poked half her head out to look.
The officers were all in their forties or fifties, and held certain ranks and positions in the military. They were people Liang Liangwei had known since childhood.
But everyone looked serious, clearly indicating they were facing a difficult situation, and she didn't want to disturb them.
After placing breakfast on the table, she went into the bathroom and carefully examined her eyes in the mirror. Sure enough, she saw a faint dark mark around her eyelids.
The thought of having to use concealer to cover up the marks made her grit her teeth in frustration.
It's all that stinky man's fault!
It's so inconvenient, so inconvenient, so inconvenient! It's been a whole night and it's still inconvenient!
Okay, so you think you're the only one who'll have this problem?
So what if we don't keep in touch?
Then let's not contact each other anymore!
Just as she clenched her fist so tightly that her nails were almost digging into her flesh, she suddenly heard her cell phone ring on the table.
Her eyes lit up instantly, she loosened her fists, immediately turned and ran out of the bathroom, walked to the table, and eagerly picked up her phone to check—
Liang Wenyi called.
"..."
Liang Liangwei's smile froze, and the next moment she rolled her eyes and blew on her bangs.
What on earth was she expecting?
But why would Liang Wenyi suddenly contact her?
She pressed the call button.
"Good evening, bro~"
It's nighttime in the US.
Liang Wenyi hesitated for a moment: "Weiwei, you... seem to be in a pretty good mood?"
Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "It's quite nice. Is there something you need?"
Liang Wenyi: "Is your boyfriend alright?"
"Huh?" Liang Liangwei was taken aback, and asked in confusion, "What happened to him?"
Liang Wenyi: "You don't know?"
Liang Liangwei: "What should I know?"
Liang Wenyi: "...Pretend I never made this call."
Liang Liangwei: "No, brother, why are you being so strange? What's going on—"
Liang Wenyi hung up the phone.
Liang Liangwei stared blankly at the phone that had just been hung up: "What happened?"
Liang Wenyi is the resident counselor of the Chinese embassy in the United States. He is well-informed about all kinds of news at home and abroad. He is also a very busy person and would never waste time making an irrelevant phone call.
He was trying to find out about Yan Zhixu's recent situation through her.
And judging from his tone... could something have happened to Yan Zhixu?
Upon considering this possibility, her expression suddenly changed, and she immediately thought of Yan Zhixu's "inconvenience" and Assistant Xu's stammering reply on the phone.
Yan Zhixu's alcohol tolerance is so high that he couldn't even speak when drunk, right?
How could Assistant Xu let him drink himself to death?
Given his status and position, who would dare to force him to drink excessively?
One suspicious point after another popped up, almost making her dizzy.
Why didn't she think of these things last night?
She opened Yan Zhixu's number, hesitating whether to call him and ask.
Would he still have inconvenience now?
Just as she was hesitating, her phone screen switched to the incoming call screen, and the name displayed was Yan Zhixu.
Her heart skipped a beat, her brow relaxed, and she quickly cleared her throat to answer the phone.
"Hey?"
Yan Zhixu's low, husky voice came through the phone: "Weiwei?"
Liang Liangwei: "It's me. Are you... available now?"
Yan Zhixu had only been awake for 30 minutes. When she first woke up, she was still dizzy and her wounds were very painful.
Xu Chaofeng called a doctor for him. The doctor examined him and changed his dressings. Now that he has finally recovered, the first person he wants to contact is her.
He was still weak, but he was able to sit up, and his mental state was much better than last night. Only when he felt good about himself did he dare to make this call to her.
"I'm sorry, Weiwei, I didn't contact you right away last night, and I made you worry."
Liang Liangwei felt a pang of sadness, and tears welled up in her eyes. She felt incredibly wronged, and her voice betrayed her annoyance: "You know I was worried... no, I wasn't worried about you at all. It was you who didn't listen to me and drank so much, until you were completely out of it, until you couldn't even make a phone call, and now your voice is so hoarse it sounds like you have a toad stuck in your throat!"
A man's low chuckle came from the other end of the phone.
She was both angry and annoyed: "Can't you tell I'm angry? Why are you laughing!"
Yan Zhixu: "I can tell. I'm sorry, Weiwei, it's my fault."
Liang Liangwei pulled out two tissues and pressed them against her eyes to stop herself from actually crying.
Sniffing, I composed myself and asked, "Are you still at home? Did you drink any hangover tea? Will you...?"
Yan Zhixu: "Weiwei, I'm not drunk. I was in a minor car accident last night and I'm in the hospital now."
Liang Liangwei thought she had misheard, and after a long pause, she asked again, "What did you say...where are you?"
Yan Zhixu: "I'm at the hospital. I was in a minor car accident. If you have time..."
Liang Liangwei: "I have it! I'm sure I have it! Wait for me, I'm coming right away!"
She hurriedly went to her bag to pack her things: "Wait for me, I'll be there soon..."
Yan Zhixu comforted her: "Weiwei, don't worry, I'm fine, it's just a minor injury. I didn't tell you last night because I was afraid you would worry. If you can't calm down, I won't tell you the hospital address."
Liang Liangwei took two deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. Sitting on the bed, she asked in a trembling voice, "Then, is it serious for you?"
Yan Zhixu chuckled and said, "Injury is inevitable, but the fact that they called you means it's not serious."
Liang Liangwei said sullenly, "They didn't even contact me last night. How can they say it's not serious?"
Yan Zhixu: "I had just finished my check-up and taken my medicine. I was feeling drowsy, so how could I call you? I couldn't explain it clearly, and that would only make you more anxious."
So that's what his "inconvenience" was like, not what she thought...
Liang Liangwei: "And now?"
Yan Zhixu told the truth: "I felt much better after sleeping for one night, so I contacted you to come over."
Liang Liangwei had completely calmed down by now and began stuffing her belongings into her bag one by one.
"I'm coming right now, wait for me."
Yan Zhixu said in a low voice, "Promise me you won't rush, drive carefully, understand?"
Liang Liangwei paused, then nodded and replied, "Okay, I understand."
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
A moment later, Liang Liangwei heard Xu Chaofeng's voice from the other end: "President Yan, I bought you rice cereal..."
Liang Liangwei felt a pang of pain in her heart. Was it really that miserable to only be able to eat rice porridge?
Yan Zhixu gestured for Xu Chaofeng to put the food down, and said softly to Liang Liangwei, "Weiwei, I want to eat breakfast. I also need to take my medicine later. I'll contact you again later."
Liang Liangwei: "Okay, remember to send me the address."
“Okay,” Yan Zhixu instructed again, “You can’t tell anyone about my time at the hospital, including Bei’an.”
Liang Liangwei thought he was trying to keep it from the Yan family so they wouldn't worry.
"Okay," Liang Liangwei thought of Liang Wenyi's phone call. "What about my cousin? He just called me to ask about you. Can I tell him?"
Yan Zhixu paused for a moment: "Yes, he must have found out about it through other channels."
After hanging up the phone, she sniffed, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, quickly packed her luggage, and left the room.
Downstairs, Commander Liang sat alone in the living room, his expression solemn, lost in thought.
Liang Liangwei quickly ran downstairs, saw him, and said, "Dad, I'm going out now~ I'll come back to see you another day."
Commander Liang got up and walked over: "Have you had breakfast?"
Liang Liangwei then remembered that she had brought breakfast upstairs but hadn't had a chance to eat it yet.
She picked up two eggs from the table: "I'll eat these."
Aunt Fang heard her voice and hurriedly came out, saying, "Weiwei, are you leaving? Don't worry, don't worry, I've prepared some fruit for you. Take it with you and eat it."
Liang Liangwei initially wanted to say that she was in a hurry and didn't have time, but then she thought that it would be good to bring it to Yan Zhixu, so she accepted it.
She loaded the fruit into the trunk, then jogged to the driver's seat and got in the car, her movements busy yet orderly.
Commander Liang frowned: "Don't be reckless, drive carefully."
Liang Liangwei gave him an OK sign and drove away.
After leaving the military compound and getting onto the main road, she used the car's Bluetooth system to call Lan Yin, delegating her work for the day to other stylists in the company so she could focus on taking care of her boyfriend at the hospital.
