Chen RuoYu's missing!
Chen RuoYu only knew about this matter after Gao YuLan found her out from the hospital.
As expected, in her hometown C-City, Qi Na had really spread the rumors of her with an additional juicy bits of information. The rumors which portrayed her as an insurance saleswoman who was in dire straits and also fawned over others to curry for favor, was spreading to everyones. When Chen parents heard this, they were of course, shocked. They tried to call her but her phone line was suspended for several days. After that, the phone number bacame an uncontantable again. So this terrified Chen parents.
Since the old couple couldn't contact their daughter, they had to seek her friend's help. So Yang Yang thought of ways to locate her. Finally, she summoned her courage to look for Gao YuLan's family and got her phone number and called Gao YuLan finally. Gao YuLan who was also staying in A-City could also help look for Chen RuoYu.
When Gao YuLan received the news, she was also shocked. They had not met for a long period of time, how did Chen RuoYu ended up missing? So Yin Ze, Lei.Feng and Meng Gu were also alerted to this news. Everyones searched through various channels and finally located Chen RuoYu in the other hospital.
"I changed to a new number and I didn't even have time to Inform everyones." When Chen RuoYu said this.., she felt very guilty. Infact, she had dragged this matter for so long that her company had become anxious before she decided to get a new phone number. They had said that without a cellphone, how was she going to conduct business? How was she going to contact her customers? She was reprimanded and after procrastination sometimes, she finally went to register for a new number. She couldn't tell them that she had developed a phone-ring probia and didn't want to owned a phone. In the end, she had gastroenteritis attacks and collapsed infront of the reception hall of the telecommunication office.
Although, she knew that cutting off all contacts wirh everyones was an irresponsible attitude of her but she didn't thought it would develop into such a big mess.. so she felt very sad.
Even if this matter had developed into a big mess, it could not be overlooked. But to involved Meng Gu in this and also caused him to come over, it really made her felt particular awkward. This time, her impression of her in his heart would certainly be degraded down to another two more levels.
Reckless, mischievous, childish, absurd, lack of filial piety, brain damage..... ai.....
Meng Gu's expression was not good infront of Gao YuLan and Yin Ze but he didn't say any harsh words to her. He just went looking for Chen RuoYu's doctor to discussed this matter and Upon his returned to the ward, he told Chen RuoYu that she could be discharged.
"Yak.., I asked the doctor today, he said "No" and said that I have to wait until tomorrow.
"Are you a doctor or am I a doctor?"
"Of course, it's you." Chen RuoYu grinned. Although, she did not agree, she was in the wrong first, so she felt guilty slightly and afraid to provoke him.
"A technical dialogue was held between the two doctors and the conclusion is that, if you continued to stay in this hospital, you have to pay more, so you can actually be discharged today. Do you want to be discharged?"
"Yes.., Yes.." Of course, she wants to be discharged now as she's poor. She wanted to cry and could save a little more and that this do saved a little. So Chen RuoYu got discharged.
Meng Gu drove and sent Gao YuLan and Yin Ze home first, before sending Chen RuoYu back.
Chen RuoYu was very nervous and didn't dare to suggest to Meng Gu to send her home first before sending Gao YuLan and Yin Ze home. She had caused these friends to tiredly run around looking and worrying about her. She felt so quilty. So all along the way home, she did not even dare to speak or voice any single objection.
Fortunately, Gao YuLan talked with her all the way. The two women were determined to work hard together to make progress in their careers. At the side, Yin Ze protested and strongly demanded Gao YuLan must not neglect him. The young couple started to argue and banter flirtatiously which made Chen RuoYu smiled to herself. While.she was smiling, she accidently met Meng Gu's eyes in the rearview mirror and she subconsciously shrank.
Then Meng Gu calmly looked away but Chen RuoYu's heart was beating faster and fiercely.
After Meng Gu had sent Gao YuLan and Yin Ze back to their home, he didn't drove away immediately but sat in the car. She wanted to ask him why, what's he waiting for but after some thoughts, she just kept quiet, waited with him calmly.
After waiting for quite a long time, Meng Gu suddenly said "Come and sit in the front! What? Are you treating me as your driver?!"
Suddenly, she realized snd blushed.. Quickly, she opened the car door and moved to the front passenger seat. Sat sat down and after waiting for a long time, Meng Gu still did not move his car.
Chen RuoYu felt a bit uncomfortable and secretly stole a glance at him. She saw her starring at her. "Are you not going to fasten your safety belt?"
"Oh.., Oh...." Quickly the safety belt were fastened.
But Meng Gu still did not leave. He took out his cellphone and handed it to her.
She looked at his cellphone suspiciously. Taking it didn't seem right and not taking it also didn't seem right. Finally, she asked.. "I have mynown cellphone."
Meng Gu glared at her.. "Did I say I'm giving you my cellphone?"
She blushed and said.. "Dr Meng's cellphone is really a high-end product." He handed the phone over and did not say anything else. Only the ghost would now what he wanted, so she simply praised him.
"Thank you." Meng Gu was not in a good mood to joke. "Please enter your new cellphone number into this high-end product."
"I won't disappear again" she replied.
"That's good but that does not.have anythings to do with my request for your number." He simply dropped his cellphone on her lap.
Chen RuoYu bits her lip and resisted the urged to retort. She must practice self-control and there'll be hope in life.
Meng Gu took another look at her and she wanted to glare back at him. Endure.... self-control!
When she saw Meng Gu drive to the telecommunication business office, she was dumb-founded. So just having self-control's not feasible..
"I..." Just as she opened her mouth, she received a glare.
Meng Gu stopped his car, turned to her side and opened her door. "Get down and do the registration for your cellphone number. Don't make excuses and don't delays. Get down!"
She had already got down from the car but he was still scolding her.
"It's alright if you lose contacts with your friends, but also dared to lose contact with your family. Have you ever thought of your parents? Even, if you wanted to hide from something or someone, cancelling your cellphone number, really it useful? You're an adult, not a child, what were you thinking of? You can even do such a naive action. Not only will your family worry about you but your friends too worried. You'hv made everyone feel so scared, don't you feel bad about this."
"It's because I felt bad that why I'm willing to stand infront of you, waiting for you to scold me. Otherwise, I would have turned around and left long ago." Her voice was low as she didn't dared to speak loudly.
"What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything."
"Chen RuoYu."
"I said Dr Meng's really a good person. A medical doctor who has the heart of parents*. Now I truly understand." A 30 years old man thinks of himself as a father to her.... nag, nag and endlessly nag.
[*A medical doctor who has the heart of parents means.. a doctor cares for his patients, like a parents who cares for.their children.]
Chen RuoYu did not dare to look up and felt Meng Gu staring down at her from the top of her head. After he had enough of staring, he accompany her into the telecommunication business office to register her new cellphone card.
She stood infront of the service counter and lets Meng Gu acted on his own initiative by telling the salesperson to register a new cellphone number for her. She didn't speak at all and pulled out her purse. Then facing the salesperson, she silently took out the balance money amounting RM21.50 from her purse. The salesperson's face stiffened and subconsciously glare at Meng Gu for a moment. Meng Gu, without speaking too, pulled out his credit card infront of Chen RuoYu.
"You owed me this money now." Meng Gu announced. Chen RuoYu was caught off-guide, didn't know how to respond him so she just kept quiet without responding.
The new number was finally registered and Dr Meng's high-end cellphone had also stored her number.
"When you reached home, remember to give your family a call, do you understand?"
"Em..." Chen RuoYu scowled as she did not really know how to make this call home. When she thought of her family's reaction and the upcoming bombing towards her, she felt her scalp going numb.
"Treat me to a dinner tomorrow's night. I'll be off duty at six."
Her face expression immediately changed from anxiety to horror.
"What? Not willing to? Just think back.. you sneaked off from the.hospital aftervINhad shown you kindness. I'hv been a doctor for so many years, no patient of mine has sneaked away. I'hv lost face due to you now. You also said you considered me as my friend.. Do you treat your friend like this? After that, you did not answer my calls and I don't even know which streets you had died in. Then, you went missing and I still have to assist in finding you. You can do the calculation yourself, how much you owed me? Is it wrong for you to treat me to a dinner?"
Chen RuoYu didn't dare to answered and say she was wronged but she said.. "Dr Meng, I am very poor now?"
"Why are you poor?"
"I'hv stayed twice in the hospital and.had spent a lot of money. In addition, because of my client's accident, these two months I was reprimanded and unable to close any insurance deals. I barely received my basic salary. I don't have much savings and I still owe someone money. I really don't have any extra money now. When I returned home tonight, I'll only eat instant noodles.. I'm really very poor. Besides, I'hv just changed my new cellphone number and I still have to contact all my customers and people on my contact list, I wll be very busy now."
"Poor is it? Busy is it? All this's your Own doings. Not worthy of any sympathy."
Chen RuoYu sighed and started negotiating with him.. "Or else, wait until I'hv the money, I'll surely treat Dr Meng to a good meal then."
"Wait until you'hv money? Do you think your hope will materialize in this life?"
"I...." Chen RuoYu glared at him. Practice self-control. Self-control!
"Wait for me at home, don't go anywhere and I'll come to pick you up at six."
"I have gastroenteritis. I can't eat snything. Why don't we change it to another day?"
"You're not eating, you're inviting me for a meal. If your stomach is not well, you can eat less."
Listen..! Listen to him! Can he be more overbearing than this?
"That... six o'clock is exactly the peak hour and the worst traffic jam incurred. Coming to pick me up at this hour will be inconvenient for Dr Meng. Why don't we make another appointment and change it to weekends later.
"Incovenient to drive? I didn't know you can be so considerate. Well, then you come and pick me up instead. Come early and wait for me in my office beside the ward at six o'clock."
This's killing her! No, kill him! What kind of person is this?!
Chen RuoYu felt distressed. What should she do? How's she going to take this meal?
