CHAPTER 431: CHAPTER 432: DON’T LET SHI MEI MAKE A CALL

Bai Yuejie’s eyes lit up, "Brother Ling Yan woke up? That’s good..."

Perhaps due to excitement, Bai Yuejie still felt a dull pain in her chest. Enduring the pain, her face turned slightly pale, and she said, "I’ll be there soon."

Grandma Shi didn’t notice her discomfort and happily hung up the phone after responding.

Bai Yuejie grimaced in pain and covered her chest, sitting down on the couch.

Seeing this, the maid’s eased heart tensed up again, and she expressed her concern, "Miss, maybe you shouldn’t go after all, your health is more important..."

"What does it have to do with you?" Bai Yuejie’s eyes cooled, "Quickly prepare some soup for me to take with me. Brother Ling Yan must be very hungry after just waking up. Only a light soup will be manageable for him to eat."

The maid held her tongue, nodded, and turned around to work.

But after turning around, she couldn’t help but mutter under her breath, "Idiot."

When Bai Yuejie arrived at the hospital, nearly everyone was already there.

Yun Du, Tang Jingming, and some other close associates were expected, along with Bao Gui and a few others from their circle.

These people knew Bai Yuejie, and her matter had suddenly exploded in the afternoon, causing quite a stir, which many had heard about.

However, upon seeing Bai Yuejie in person, everyone chose to remain silent, exchanged glances, and merely nodded slightly to her as a greeting.

Bai Yuejie hadn’t expected these people to come too, feeling suddenly flustered, but she quickly composed herself, walked over, and called out, "Grandma Shi."

"Ah!" Grandma Shi seemed very pleased, "You’re here. Ling Yan woke up, and these friends came over when they heard the news."

Bai Yuejie appeared slightly shy, "How is Brother Ling Yan now?"

"The doctor is still examining him, he’s not well yet."

Bao Gui and a few friends saw Bai Yuejie’s demeanor, and one straightforward young man scoffed softly, "Anyone who didn’t know would think she was Brother Shi’s wife."

But no sooner had he spoken than a companion bumped him, "Xue Er, can’t you keep quiet for once?"

Xue Er pursed his lips and shrugged, not saying more.

Bao Gui pursed his lips, turned to Tang Jingming, and asked, "Why haven’t we seen the little sister-in-law?"

The scene wasn’t without older people than Shi Lingyan, but as a group familiar through all their horseplay, one called out ’Brother Shi’ and so all followed, respecting Shi Lingyan’s authority by collectively addressing him as ’Brother Shi.’

Tang Jingming, who was talking to Yun Du, stopped, came over, and whispered, "Divorced."

Bao Gui was greatly surprised, "Divorced?"

Xue Er also came closer, "Heard the little sister-in-law got back to normal, and they just divorced like that?"

Tang Jingming sighed softly, "They had signed the papers long ago, back when the little sister-in-law hadn’t recovered yet. A few days ago, when Grandma Shi learned about it, she was furious and... chased the little sister-in-law away."

"Chased her away?" Bao Gui was astonished.

Tang Jingming nodded, noting strangely, "Well, not exactly chased her away. It’s more like Grandma Shi was very upset, and the little sister-in-law voluntarily said she would move out. Grandma Shi didn’t stop her. Now that Brother Shi has woken up, she won’t even let us call her."

Xue Er ’tsked’ and said, "Grandma Shi really hasn’t changed, still so vindictive and petty. How has Grandpa Shi put up with her all these years?"
