Chapter 959: Chapter 958: Questioning
He Ming didn’t call Xiaomeng, but Gu Shaoting did call Shu Pan.
When he returned home, it was already 7 p.m., but Shu Pan had not yet come back.
The driver said Madam didn’t need him to pick her up, which made Gu Shaoting a bit anxious. Could something have happened?
So, he hastily called Shu Pan’s phone.
“I’m at the hospital…” Shu Pan hadn’t finished speaking when Gu Shaoting suddenly interrupted her, “Which hospital are you at? What happened?”
“Ah, it’s not me. Xiaomeng had some trouble, but it’s all right now. I’ll head back soon,” Shu Pan explained.
“Alright, shall I come and pick you up?” Gu Shaoting offered kindly.
“No need,” said Shu Pan as she hung up the phone.
Xiaomeng said somewhat embarrassingly, “Girl, sorry for making you come with me. It’s all fine now, you can go back.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? You just listen to the doctor, don’t overthink things, and when you go back, take good care of yourself. Even if He Ming comes back, don’t argue with him,” Shu Pan comforted Ye Xiaomeng, although these words were also what she wanted to say to herself.
Suddenly she felt that she and Gu Shaoting also had a lot of problems.
Shu Pan escorted Xiaomeng home first. With Auntie watching over her at home, Shu Pan felt more at ease, but she still repeatedly reminded Xiaomeng to notify her immediately if anything happened.
By the time Shu Pan got home, it was nearly 8 p.m., and she was both hungry and tired, utterly exhausted.
Seeing her weary face, Gu Shaoting felt very distressed and told her to eat first and then go back to rest in the bedroom.
The kids were also very obedient, playing in their own rooms.
“What happened to Xiaomeng?” Gu Shaoting asked with concern.
Instead of answering, Shu Pan asked an irrelevant question, “Is He Ming very busy? Did he find a new secretary? A new assistant? Or is there a new colleague?”
Shu Pan didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked Gu Shaoting. If it were really an affair, it was probably with a colleague, as they were around each other every day, which could easily lead to feelings developing.
Gu Shaoting was confused by the question. The Corporation had recently recruited a batch of new employees for every department.
The rapid development of the Corporation required the infusion of a lot of new blood.
“Each department recruited new employees,” Gu Shaoting said, skirting the main issue.
He wasn’t sure what the problem was, so he dared not respond rashly.
He thought he would have to thoroughly ask He Ming later if something had happened that he didn’t know about.
Shu Pan knew she couldn’t get any answers and felt some inexplicable irritation.
She silently sipped her soup, her mind occupied with other thoughts.
Before going to sleep, Shu Pan casually told Gu Shaoting that the company was organizing a trip for two days and asked him to help look after the children.
Gu Shaoting dared not object and quickly agreed.
After putting Shu Pan to bed, he went to the study and called He Ming’s cell phone.
“Ming, are you home yet?” He Ming had been busy with an order these past two days. Since this client had always dealt with He Ming, it was necessary for him to take charge personally, especially since it was a major client, and losing them would definitely impact the Corporation’s business.
He Ming was relieved thinking about Xiaomeng’s stable condition.
“I’ve been home for a while. What’s up?” It couldn’t be to invite him out for drinks, could it?
“Xiaomeng went to the hospital tonight. Was she accompanied by Shu Pan? Did you know about this? Ming, no matter what, your wife is the most important,” Gu Shaoting assumed He Ming knew about Ye Xiaomeng being in the hospital.
“What? When did this happen? I didn’t know. Xiaomeng didn’t tell me.” He Ming became anxious upon hearing this and checked his phone, only to unexpectedly see that Xiaomeng had called him around 5 o’clock.
