Chapter 123 I'm dizzy again.
When Lin Wei received the call, it felt like a bolt from the blue had struck her.
She didn't even have time to put on her coat properly before rushing into the ward.
Pushing open the door, one could see Zhang Guifang leaning against the hospital bed, an IV drip still attached to the back of her hand, her face pale, and she kept groaning "ouch, ouch."
Seeing her like this, Lin Wei felt both worried and annoyed.
"Mom, how did a simple meal turn into this? You don't know how busy I've been lately, how could I have had time to accompany you in the hospital?"
As soon as Zhang Guifang saw Lin Wei enter and heard the other woman's complaints, her originally weak body immediately sat up straight, her voice filled with obvious resentment.
"You've finally arrived!"
Zhang Guifang grabbed Lin Wei's hand.
"Look what you've done! You were doing so well with Chen Yuan, and then you just broke it off like that! Do you think you're still one of those hot commodities you used to be? Who would want a divorced woman with a child?"
Lin Wei said impatiently, "I gave him the child."
"What? You didn't even want the child?"
Seeing that her mother was even angrier than before and tightened her grip, Lin Wei felt a sharp pain in her wrist and a surge of irritation, but she could only suppress her anger.
"Mom, please don't get agitated. The doctor said you have high blood pressure and shouldn't get too excited. Do you want to faint?"
How could I not be excited?
Zhang Guifang was panting heavily, patting the edge of the bed with her other hand.
"You still have us as your parents, yet you got the divorce certificate without telling us. You got a divorce, but you kept it from us."
Lin Jianguo, who had been silent all along, stepped in to smooth things over.
"Alright, the child is already divorced, what's the point of saying all this now? If you ask me, it's better that you're divorced. He gets custody of the child, and Weiwei can find someone else in the future."
"You old man, that sounds nice."
"I'm not saying this to make it sound nice, but Chen Yuan is just an ordinary office worker. How much success can he have? I didn't approve of their marriage from the very beginning."
Lin Jianguo was even more open-minded than Zhang Guifang.
"It's over now. The child is with him. Our daughter can dress up and look just as good as before. Finding a rich man is better than anything else."
Zhang Guifang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that what the old man said made a lot of sense.
But she was, after all, a traditional woman, and after a brief pause, she continued.
"Alright, alright, stop bringing this up. If you ask me, you should just get them remarried. Don't argue anymore. Even though Chen Yuan doesn't earn much money, she's still his first wife."
Hearing these words, Lin Wei felt as if she had been pricked by a needle, and then a surge of indescribable bitterness and anger welled up inside her.
She withdrew her hand, tugged at the corners of her mouth, and spoke with a hint of self-deprecation and defiance.
"Mom, you don't know how Chen Yuan is doing now. He quit his job and opened a breakfast shop. He's a small business owner now."
Lin Jianguo snorted dismissively: "Girl, why are you boosting others' morale while belittling your own? It's just running a breakfast shop, working yourself to the bone to earn that little bit of money, what's the big deal?"
"It's just a breakfast shop, Dad. You don't know, but it's made them an internet celebrity."
Lin Wei gritted her teeth whenever she brought up the matter.
"He's not the same Chen Yuan he used to be. Every day, the line at his breakfast shop stretches from the entrance of the residential area all the way to the curb, and so many online celebrities go there to check it out."
"Remarriage? I was the one who filed for divorce, and the procedures are all done. He's doing so well now, why would he still want me?"
Zhang Guifang's eyes widened, and her voice suddenly rose in pitch.
"What? An internet celebrity?"
Lin Wei said sourly, "Isn't that right? I've secretly calculated it. His daily turnover is easily in the five figures now, and he's so popular every day, so that number will only increase."
Zhang Guifang stared wide-eyed, while Lin Jianguo beside her also looked incredulous.
"Is it really that amazing?"
"Really, would I lie to you?"
Zhang Guifang was so angry that she trembled all over, but she couldn't help but offer advice to her daughter.
"You're his ex-wife, Youyou's biological mother. If he doesn't acknowledge you, how could the child not acknowledge you?"
"If all else fails, just lower your head, apologize, and say a few sweet words. The money is still our family's money, isn't it?"
Although Lin Wei still harbored fantasies, for some reason, she seemed to be deliberately trying to annoy people by contradicting them.
"Mom, I know Chen Yuan too well. This time he's made up his mind. What's the point of all your scheming?"
Zhang Guifang was so angry that she trembled all over and her chest heaved violently after being repeatedly retorted by her daughter.
She seemed to see large sums of money slipping through her fingers, and she pointed a trembling finger toward the door.
"You—you brat!"
"How could I have given birth to such a good-for-nothing daughter! You've ruined my golden opportunity, you're going to make me die of anger!"
Done.
Zhang Guifang rolled her eyes, her breathing suddenly became rapid, and the monitor immediately emitted a sharp alarm.
Lin Wei and her father Lin Jianguo turned pale with fright and quickly pressed the call button.
"mom!"
"Doctors and nurses! Come quick!"
The ward instantly descended into chaos.
……
at the same time.
On the other side of the city.
Following the address provided by the system, Chen Yuan turned into a bustling commercial street.
The streets are lined with tall buildings and bustling with people.
Young white-collar workers and students came and went in a hurry, creating a very strong business atmosphere.
Chen Yuan parked his car and walked to a storefront.
Su Qingxue looked in the direction he was pointing and was slightly taken aback.
This shop is not very big, just medium-sized, with an estimated area of around 150 square meters.
The storefront is spacious with floor-to-ceiling windows, which, although covered in dust, provide excellent natural light.
The interior was completely unfurnished, with exposed cement floors, crisscrossing pipes on the ceiling, and mottled walls, all indicating that the shop had been vacant for some time.
Su Qingxue glanced at it, then nodded slightly and said in a very affirmative tone.
"Senior, this shop is really nice, but it needs some money to be renovated properly."
"But the location is unbeatable. It faces the intersection, is surrounded by popular shops on both sides, and has a wide pedestrian area in front."
Chen Yuan and Su Qingxue shared the same idea, and he praised the system in his heart.
"I never expected that such a stingy system like yours would give me such a nice storefront."
Chen Yuan took out the key given to him by the system.
The door opened, and the two went in one after the other.
Su Qingxue's high heels made a crisp sound as they stepped on the cement floor.
"Senior, where did you find this location? It's a really good spot. If you design the sign properly, it will definitely be very eye-catching, and you'll save money."
"But the rent must be very expensive, right?"
