My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 121
Chapter 121 Are you Pregnant?
The man quickly picked up Mu Yu’s phone and said, “I am sorry!” When he saw that the screen had cracked, he apologized to her once more in a hurry. “I am extremely sorry. Is it okay if I compensate you for this?”
Mu Yu on the other hand was dumbfounded as if she was struck by lightning. She did not hear what the man said and she remained motionless while staring fixedly at him.
The man thought that she was unhappy with the mere compensation of the screen. He looked at the logo of her phone and could tell that the phone was rather expensive. He was spooked and he tried to provide an explanation in a stuttering fashion. “Y-Your phone should be okay after changing the screen right?”
“Forensic Doctor Mu, are you okay?” A colleague happened to walk out of the washroom and stared at Mu Yu with a confused look.
“Ah, I am okay.” Only then did Mu Yu return to her senses. She grabbed her phone back from the man and ran off in a hurry.
“Ah? Miss, your phone…”
“Forensic Doctor Mu? You …”
Mu Yu could no longer pick up the voices coming from behind and neither did she dare to turn her head back. She ran all the way back to Wen Zeyu’s side and when she arrived, she grabbed onto his arm and gasped for air.
“Sister-in-law? Are you okay?” Wen Zeyu who was in a conversation with Rong Jian immediately noticed that something was amiss. He quickly held onto Mu Yu to provide her with some support while expressing his concerns.
“Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do I need to send you to the infirmary?” Rong Jian who was sitting down noticed that something was amiss and he quickly got up to assist Wen Zeyu in helping Mu Yu take a seat.
“I-I am okay.”
Mu Yu took a seat and forced herself to calm down. However, her heart was thumping and she could not calm herself down at all. From the corner of her eyes, she could tell that the man was still glancing over here. She was afraid that people around her would notice something amiss so she gently stroked her chest and said, “Oh I am alright. I am just a little dizzy and feel like throwing up.”
“You are feeling a little dizzy and also feel like throwing up? Why do you feel that way all of a sudden?” Wen Zeyu suddenly stood up and clapped while laughing. “Ah! I know! Sister-in-law, you must be pregnant!”
“Hey! Don’t spout nonsense! I am not pregnant!” Mu Yu could feel the weird glare she was getting from people around her so she quickly leaped up and clarified.
“Sister-in-law, you don’t have to be embarrassed. Being pregnant is something worth celebrating! I have to inform Huan about this good news so that he…”
“I am really not pregnant! Don’t bring me unnecessary trouble.” Mu Yu, who was a little annoyed, snatched Wen Zeyu’s phone over and hung up on the call.
Wen Zeyu was bewildered. “Isn’t being dizzy and feeling like throwing up the symptoms of being pregnant?”
“Who said that only pregnant women would feel that way? Haven’t you felt this way before?”
“Well.. That…” Wen Zeyu was at a loss of words.
Just then, Rong Jian handed a cup of warm water to Mu Yu and he said, “You didn’t have breakfast this morning right?”
Mu Yu capitalized on that and replied, “Ah, yes, I didn’t have breakfast.”
She was merely suspicious and thus she dared not bring up the incident without circumstantial evidence.
“That must be a sign of low blood sugar. Here, have some warm water and eat a couple of sweets.” Rong Jian took out some sweets from his pockets and passed it to her.
“Thank you.” Mu Yu who was flustered was not in the right mind to deduce why Rong Jian, a man would have sweets with him at all times. In order to convince them that she was down with low blood sugar, she picked up the sweets and consumed them. At the same time, she took a few sips of the warm water. Then, she glanced at the man out of the corner of her eyes.
The man was bending down and he was also staring nervously at her. She calmed herself down before waving her phone with the cracked screen at Rong Jian. Then he pointed at the man and said, “Captain Rong, I was feeling dizzy just now and accidentally bumped into the man over there. I dropped my phone and my screen cracked. However, the man thought that he had bumped into me and wanted to compensate me for that. Help me to go over and clear things up with him and say that it’s not his fault.”
Rong Jian glanced at the man and he nodded his head before walking towards the man.
“Sister-in-law, are you really dizzy because of low blood sugar?” Wen Zeyu was not willing to believe her.
“Yes.”
“Are you sure there are no other problems? We have doctors in the office, and we could get them over here…”
“There is no need for that.”
“It’s not troublesome at all, I just have to…”
“I am really fine. Don’t blow things out of proportion.”
“Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid of seeing a doctor!”
“Why would I be afraid of a doctor? I am a doctor as well.”
“That’s different! You are a forensic doctor! That’s it, it’s my responsibility to get you a doctor on behalf of Huan!” Wen Zeyu said that as he snatched over his phone.
“Hey!” Mu Yu immediately tightened his grip on the phone. When she saw that he was not willing to give up until he made the call, she had no choice but to whisper, “That day… Well, we have always been on birth control.”
“Birth control?”
“Yes!”
“For you or for Huan?”
“Doesn’t it mean the same thing?”
“Of course not! If…”
Just then, Mu Yu saw that Rong Jian had finished clearing things up with the man and the man had walked out of the canteen. She immediately left Wen Zeyu behind and got out of her seat. She walked towards Rong Jian and immediately asked, “Captain Rong, was that man an employee of Qing Tian Group?”
“Nope, he is a worker from our water supplier. Why?”
“Oh nothing much, I am just curious. I am sure you all have questioned him as well?” Mu Yu could sense the weird stare she was getting from Rong Jian so she quickly smiled and explained, “Anyone that has access into the canteen are suspects in our case.”
“That’s true.” Rong Jian felt that what she said made sense. Thus, he took out a notebook from his pocket and flipped through it before saying, “This water delivery man is Wang Linhua. Even though he looks tall and burly, he is an honest person. He is not much of a talker and is extremely timid as well. Based on the description of his colleagues, he was the type of person that was easily spooked. He comes by Qing Tian Group on a fixed schedule to deliver water. Although Zhao Yongli had troubled him in the past, he had always ignored the issue with a smile. He had never taken it to heart.”
Wen Zeyu whose attention has been caught was still unable to comprehend the situation and he asked, “Why would Zhao Yongli make life difficult for an ordinary and honest water delivery man?”
A cleaning auntie who was mopping the floor overheard his question and she interjected with a furious voice. “I am sure you all know that there’s a type of person who would capitalize on every single opportunity? Zhao Yongli was that kind of person. Any company or individual who had business dealings with our canteen would have to give him some benefits. There was no exception to that. Furthermore, the benefits he took for himself were based on the situation. From huge rebates to tiny things like free cigarettes or beer, he would take them all. Even a cleaning lady like me had to give him a couple of kilograms of beef every month in order to keep my job. I had no choice because the wages of Qing Tian Group was much higher than other companies and it was also a lot more reputable to work here.”
Wen Zeyu sort of understood what happened and he asked, “So you meant to say that Wang Linhua did not give any benefits to Zhao Yongli thus he purposely made life difficult for Wang Linhua?”
“Of course. When I first came here to work, the person forgot to inform me about this hidden rule and thus I did not give Zhao Yongli any benefits. As such, he complained on a daily basis that the floor I mopped was not clean enough. Other people only had to mop the floor once whereas I had to do it thrice. Even if I polished the floor till it shone, I would still never receive any bonus at all.” The cleaning lady had no idea that Wen Zeyu was the vice president of the company so she blurted out all of her opinions. While she complained, she glared in disdain at Zhao Yongli’s lounge as if he was still inside.
Wen Zeyu shook his head and said, “But Wang Linhua is merely an employee of the water delivery company. He only gets a fixed salary so if Zhao Yongli is looking for a commission rebate, shouldn’t he look for the manager instead? It is pointless to make life difficult for a water delivery worker.”
The cleaning aunty snorted and said, “Miss, you cannot try to comprehend his thoughts as an ordinary person. He is not a person that plays by the rules. He would harm someone for his personal gains and he would still harm someone even when there is nothing to be gained from it. Either way, his goal in life is to make life difficult for everyone. Do you see the room by the entrance?”
The cleaning lady also pointed at the other room that was miles away from the entrance of the canteen. Then she said, “At the start, the water dispenser was placed at the door near the entrance and the bags of rice were placed at the room that was far away from the entrance. After that, the worker who delivers the rice gave him a few bags of rice for free so he ordered the worker to place the bags of rice at the room near the entrance. As the distance was shortened by a couple of metres, the worker was able to save some time and effort. However, the water delivery worker was the unfortunate one. He had to carry the barrel of water all the way to the room that was far away from the entrance.”
“No way! Such people exist in this world?” Wen Zeyu was in disbelief.
The cleaning lady pouted her lips and said, “The worker who delivers the rice is my nephew. He was the one that introduced me to this job.”
Mu Yu was amused by Wen Zeyu’s dumbfounded expression. As such, the fear brought upon her by the water delivery worker temporarily disappeared. She could not help but chuckled as she asked, “If the water delivery worker also abided by his rule and gave him some benefits, what kind of arrangements would Manager Zhao make?”
“He would ask the both of them to place the rice and water at the room nearest to the entrance. They would each take up half of the room. When their company sent over another worker for future deliveries, the exact same process would be repeated to torment the workers.”
Rong Jian questioned, “Then why did nobody speak up about it when we questioned you all the last time?”
The cleaning lady rolled her eyes at her colleagues around her and she snorted. “That’s because they all believed in respecting the dead. They also think that Manager Zhao was wronged and he would come back as a ghost to haunt those who disrespected him. Therefore, they chose to keep certain things to themselves when being questioned. I am already of such old age and I don’t believe in such nonsense. I will speak up about any form of injustice.”
When she saw how everyone was dumbfounded and was staring at her, she became rather unhappy and snorted. “If you all don’t believe what I said then forget it.”
Upon saying that, she angrily picked up her mop and went to the washroom.
A while later, Wen Zeyu was the first to react and he scolded, “F*ck! I knew that Zhao Yongli was greedy but I didn’t expect him to be so evil. No wonder he had his heart gouged out. If he was not dead, I would also want to gouge his heart out to check if his heart is black in color.”
“Looks like there is something wrong with the internal management of the company. As the vice president of the company, you have to look into this and do some self-reflection.”
“Don’t chide me and instead focus on solving your case.” Wen Zeyu glared at Rong Jian angrily as he turned around and left.
Rong Jian looked at the view of his back and shrugged his shoulders. Then he looked at Mu Yu and asked, “Sister-in-law, are you okay?”
Mu Yu knew that he was referring to her dizziness prior to this. She subconsciously glanced at the door that the water delivery man got out from before saying with a smile, “Thanks to your sweets, I am feeling better now.”
“Alright, that’s good. You have to get into the habit of having breakfast on a daily basis. If Huan found out about this incident, he would definitely…”
“Captain Rong, why do you have the habit of bringing sweets along with you? Do you have a low blood sugar level as well?” Mu Yu was not willing to talk about Qin Jinhuan so she interrupted him and changed the topic of their conversation.
“Oh, well…” Rong Jian scratched his head in embarrassment as he said, “Rubing usually skips breakfast when she comes to work yet she doesn’t allow me to bring her breakfast. Thus, there were a few times that she almost fainted because of low blood sugar level. I consulted a friend of mine who was a doctor and they told me that by giving the patient a few sweets under such circumstances would alleviate the symptoms. Therefore… Hehe.”
“Oh, so you carried sweets with you because of Teacher Feng.” Mu Yu suddenly thought about Feng Qiqi’s matter and she immediately asked, “I heard that Teacher Feng’s younger sister slipped out of school yesterday. Is everything okay?”
“Yup. I found her last night and sent her back home.”
“Oh. Then wouldn’t Teacher Feng be extremely grateful for your help?” In reality, Mu Yu was more curious about whether Rong Jian got invited by Teacher Feng into her house.
However, Rong Jian gave a bitter smile and replied, “I would be grateful merely by the fact that she put off scolding me for once.”
Mu Yu was shocked. “You helped her to locate her younger sister. Why would she still scold you?”
Rong Jian was feeling a little awkward but he provided an honest reply. “If it wasn’t to match us up, Qiqi wouldn’t have slipped out of school.”
“Qiqi really put in a lot of effort for this! Gosh, you two are really…” Mu Yu subconsciously stopped talking and took out her phone when she heard the beeping sound that came from her phone.
It was a message from a stranger. When Mu Yu saw the content of the message, her expression turned cold. She informed Rong Jian that she would be away for a short while to resolve certain issues. Then, she dashed towards the elevator and left.
