Was the shepherd at the hospital last night?
Early morning, with warm sunlight, the bustling city center street was already filled with vehicles. Office workers were all rushing to their companies for work. Xia Chuixue skillfully steered her car towards the &am; Group Building.
She was wearing a Bluetooth headset in her right ear, and early that morning, her colleagues at the company rushed to report some things to her. She originally thought it was just work-related, but in the end, her face darkened.
"You're saying that Zhū Mù spent the night with Jiāo Bǎor in the hospital last night?" Her tone became complex.
"It's true. Around 1 am last night, the president suddenly called me to bring him some project files and a laptop to the hospital. At that time, I thought maybe the president was sick and hospitalized. Then, when I saw that woman in the ward, I understood. Qiao Baier was on an IV..."
Xia Chui Xue always handled work matters smoothly. Even her intelligent colleagues knew about her close relationship with the Jun family, so many people in the &am; group voluntarily passed on messages to her, especially those concerning the president's private affairs.
"Xiaoxue, you said before that the president forgot about Qiao Baier. Now what's going on? Could it be that our president remembers her?" A colleague inquired curiously about the gossip over the phone.
Summer's face was a bit pale, but she just said, "Which hospital is he in? Send me the address."
Then she hung up the phone, drove the car to the intersection ahead, turned the steering wheel sharply, and drove straight to the hospital.
Has Lord Jun remembered her already?
Xia Chui Xue's car was speeding, her good mood from the morning was disrupted and became irritable, as if this sudden news caught her off guard.
"Why would the shepherd go looking for her?"
Yesterday was Jun Zhiyan's birthday, they had dinner together at the Jun family's table. Pei Haoran mentioned Qiao Baier going missing without any news. Lu Qinian left the table first, and at that time, Jun Zhumu didn't show any strangeness.
Xia Chui's snow-white eyebrows were tightly furrowed. She thought he had lost interest in Qiao Baier, but why would he take the initiative to find her?
Could it be that he really remembers her?
The more she thought that way, the more anxious and uneasy she felt.
Junzhi's牧 is being treated for a cranial bullet wound in Seattle. The surgery accidentally caused her memory to become confused and fragmented, which is a perfect opportunity for her. She had previously lied about being Tang Yu's girlfriend to get closer to him, and now she is almost the only intimate woman in his memory...She can't let him remember Qiao Bao'er.
The white Bentley slammed on its brakes, stopping just outside the hospital gates.
Xia Chuixue wore a black, tailored suit and skirt. She brushed her somewhat disheveled long curly hair behind her shoulders, got out of the car, stood straight, stepped in high heels, and strode towards the ward address given to her by her colleagues, displaying the demeanor of a successful elite.
But she didn't find anyone in that ward.
She stood outside the ward, took out her phone and called Jun Zhimu, but it was always busy. A little annoyed, she hung up and after thinking for a moment, dialed another number.
The call connected quickly. Xia Chui Xue immediately changed her tone to a casual one, greeting the other person, "Bao'er, I heard you were sick and hospitalized. How are you now..."
"Miss Xia, we don't know each other."
On the phone, Qiao Bao'er was very surprised to receive her call. Her voice was a little hoarse and cold, unwilling to be polite to her.
Xia Chui Xue heard her nasal voice was a little heavy, guessing she might really be sick.
"Miss Qiao, we all know that you haven't been feeling well lately. Please take good care of yourself." This time Xia Chuixue also directly called Miss Qiao.

Her words sounded sarcastic, Qiao Baobao seemed tired and unwilling to engage with her, her finger directly reaching for the end call button.
"Miss Qiao, there's something I need to tell you. Zhi Mu can't stay up late after his surgery. The doctor has warned us about it repeatedly."
Xia Chui Xue was very shrewd, able to guess her every move. She sank her voice first, reminding him, more like a sneer.
Don't think you're pitiful, we all have our own struggles. Think about him too, his body needs care, if you can't take care of others, don't go and hurt him.
Jojo was still as she always was, holding her phone quietly listening to her.
As a high-ranking HR executive in the group, Xia Chuixue was very good at using words to explain various principles, even making her feel ashamed. But that was just before...
"Xia Chuixue, stop playing these games in front of me. If you want Jun Zhimu, then go get him... I don't care about a man you can snatch. But there's just one thing, I'm afraid you don't have the ability."
A voice came from Qiao Baier's phone, calm and composed. This instantly darkened Xia Chuixue's expression.
"Does Junzhi's shepherd forget me? Would he give you a second glance? You lied to him, claiming to be Tang Yu's girlfriend. After he found out, he didn't hold it against you. Do you think it's because he indulges you or ignores you?"
Xia Chuixue clenched her phone tightly, feeling irritated. She never knew Qiao Baier, the pampered and willful young lady, could be so sharp-tongued. The last sentence, "indulge or ignore," really infuriated her.
" Qiao Baoer, no matter what happened in the past, your only reliance is gone. Jun Zhimu doesn't need you, and I can help him in his career, accompany him, and wait for him. I love him more than you!"
She waited so long for this love. In what way is she inferior to Qiao Baier? What right does this woman have to be so recklessly pampered by him? Isn't it all because of the child? Now that the child is gone, he will eventually see her devotion.
This was the first time Qiao Baoer had heard her confess her feelings with such boldness. The rival was declaring war on her, but Qiao Baoer unexpectedly fell silent.
She and he were from the same world. Xia Chuixue would stop at nothing to get closer to Jun Zhimu, guarding him, waiting for him...
<"Xia Chui Xue, do you know what he wants?"">
Suddenly, in a low voice, Qiao Bao'er remained calm and composed. Without arguing or making demands, she hung up the phone after speaking.
Xia Chuixue stood outside the hospital ward, her gaze fixed on her phone as if lost in thought.
She thought that Qiao Baier, with her spoiled temperament, would definitely make a fuss and get angry. But she was surprisingly calm. Had recent events changed her, or had she simply been underestimated all along?
"Miss Xia, the person you were looking for has already been discharged."
A young nurse walked up to her and spoke, only then did she come back to her senses.
Xia Chuixue quickly recovered her formulaic smile, "Could you tell me, roughly when did that man leave? Did they leave together, or did the woman leave on her own?"
The nurse, upon hearing this, immediately started complaining.
“You must be a friend of the patient. That woman was quite a handful. She kept shouting about leaving the hospital, but in the end, it was the man who stayed by her bedside all night that stopped her. He only left at 5 am, and as soon as he was gone, she pulled out her IV and ran away. When Head Nurse An came to do his rounds, there wasn't even a shadow of her left.”
Xia Chuixue stopped talking, the smile on her face looking somewhat stiff.
She is not Qiao Bao'er's friend, she just knows her. She knows this woman repeatedly refuses Jun Zhimu without any reluctance, and he, even if he forgets, still habitually indulges her.
