Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Why Should You Care About Mei
Translator: 549690339
Dongfang Yu was injured. Therefore, He Meilian had him stay at home temporarily so that someone could take care of him.
He had a broken rib and the doctor had instructed him to rest more.
The traditional wisdom is that it takes a hundred days to recover from bone injuries, so he should be bedridden for at least seventeen or eighteen days.
However, Dongfang Yu resumed work on the very next day.
And he was somewhat mad in doing so…
As He Meilian could not stop him, she reluctantly forced Hai Xiaotang to come over.
As soon as Hai Xiaotang walked into the living room, He Meilian came up to her and explained everything.
“Xiaotang, 1 had no other choice but to call you in. I hope you won’t feel irritated. The main issue is that Yuyu is not cooperating with his treatment.”
Hai Xiaotang was not upset, she didn’t mince her words and directly asked.
“Madam, may 1 know what you expect me to do?”
Seeing her straightforwardness, He Meilian couldn’t help but laugh in relief, “Just persuade him to rest more. If he continues working this madly, he will collapse sooner or later.”
“But Dongfang Yu might not listen to me.”
“I’m certain he will listen to you. Even if he still doesn’t, I wouldn’t trouble you.
I just hope you could try your best to persuade him.”
“Okay, 1 understand.” Hai Xiaotang nodded.
He Meilian laughingly said, “Yuyu is in the study right now. I will have the butler escort you there.”
“Hmm.”
Hai Xiaotang followed the butler upstairs.
When they arrived at the study, the butler respectfully knocked on the door, “Master, may we enter?”
After a moment, Dongfang Yu’s cold distant voice could be heard from inside.
“Come in!”
The butler opened the door and smilingly said to Hai Xiaotang, “Miss Hai, please come in.”
As soon as Hai Xiaotang stepped into the study, she was greeted with the strong smell of stale tobacco.
When Dongfang Yu heard the words ‘Miss Hai’, his action of reading the document paused slightly.
But in a blink, he went back to normal and didn’t even raise his head to look at her.
Hai Xiaotang assumed that Dongfang Yu was simply working, but it turned out that he was truly a bit mad.
There were piles and piles of documents in front of him.
In the ashtray by his hand, many cigarette butts were crushed out.
As per her knowledge, Dongfang Yu rarely smoked. However, he was smoking a lot now…
A seriously injured patient smoking heavily and working non-stop, wasn’t he courting death?
No wonder the madam was forced to drag her here.
Hai Xiaotang stepped forward and bluntly said, “The madam asked me to advise you to rest more, Dongfang Yu. What you’re doing is harmful to your health. Hope you could cherish your body a bit more.”
Dongfang Yu didn’t seem to hear, he just stared coldly at the documents in front of him.
Seeing him deliberately ignoring her, Hai Xiaotang did not get angry, “Dongfang Yu, what are you doing this for? Your body is your own. If you don’t cherish it, no one else can do it for you.”
He still did not react.
Hai Xiaotang couldn’t help but scoff, “Don’t tell me, you’re doing this because 1 rejected you. 1 didn’t expect you to be this childish.”
The man finally looked up at her after putting down the documents.
He lit a cigarette, took a light puff, and smoke immediately veiled his grim eyes.
“Hai Xiaotang, who told you that I’m doing all this because of you?” He sneered at her coldly, as if mocking her self-created imagination.
Hai Xiaotang didn’t take his bait, she lightly said, “Better not be because of me. Regardless, 1 am here to persuade you. If you don’t listen, there’s nothing much I can do.”
“Persuade me? Didn’t you say that you don’t care whether 1 live or die? Now on what grounds are you concerning about me, what are you trying to do, flirt with me?”
