Chapter 110 A man’s mouth is a liar

"Are you drunk?" Jian Ning asked.

Judging from the voice on the phone, he was probably drunk.

Instead of answering, Xiao Heqi asked a question in a slightly hoarse voice: "Dr. Jian, I feel like I can't breathe again. Can you take a look at me?"

Jian Ning glanced at the time; it was already past eleven o'clock at night.

Based on the results of the last consultation, he should be fine.

"It's too late today, let's do it tomorrow. Come to the villa to see me then, and I'll take a look at you."

Xiao Heqi's voice was drawn out and slurred, like a child who couldn't get candy.

"But I'm not feeling well, Dr. Jane, could you please come and see me? Just for a moment."

Jian Ning frowned and refused, saying, "It's really too late."

Xiao Heqi fell silent for a moment, and after a long while, his voice was slightly low, carrying a hint of disappointment after being rejected: "Okay, then you should get some rest."

The phone hangs up.

Jian Ning sat on the bed, intently flipping through the medical books in her mind.

The three medical books that the system rewarded me with are all stored in my mind, and they are all very thick.

As the Lunar New Year drew closer, her sense of urgency intensified; she needed to finish reading all these books before the holiday.

Just then, the cell phone on the bedside table rang.

She reached out and touched it; it was Assistant Liu's number.

Previously, Assistant Liu had helped Xiao Heqi by delivering things to her several times and picking up Xiao Heqi's medicine a few times.

After a while, the two of them would chat for a bit whenever they met.

She even gave Assistant Liu some dried radish she had made herself.

The next time they met, Assistant Liu praised her dried radish to the skies, making Jian Ningke very happy.

They say a man's mouth is a liar's tongue.

But Jian Ning really liked it. She thought that a mouth that could provide emotional value was better than someone with a sharp tongue who couldn't say a single good word.

She answered the phone and said gently, "Assistant Liu, what's the matter so late?"

Assistant Liu, usually so calm, sounded somewhat anxious as he said, "Ms. Jian, could you please come and see the boss? He's drunk and kicked me out. I'm really worried about him, but my wife just called to say she's going into labor, and I have to rush back to take her to the hospital to give birth."

Jian Ning's inner thoughts: I'm not an employee of Yichen Technology either!

"Okay, send me the address."

She is a person who clearly distinguishes between love and hate. She remembered the kindness Xiao Heqi had shown by having the company's lawyer help her.

Assistant Liu said gratefully, "Ms. Jian, thank you so much. I'll send you the address via WeChat right away."

Two seconds after the call ended, Assistant Liu sent the address.

Jian Ning changed into a comfortable white casual outfit and went downstairs.

The lights downstairs were off, with only a narrow beam of light.

Jian Ning saw the light and felt something was off. She took a few steps toward it and bumped into Long Wu, who was coming out of the kitchen and eating a jar of dried radish: "..."

Long Wu blushed instantly, as if caught stealing food, and hurriedly explained, "Ningning, this dried radish is just too delicious. My mouth feels like it's missing something. I was afraid you were sleeping, so I didn't tell you."

Jian Ning chuckled lightly: "It's okay, eat if you want. But it's already late, so you should eat less of this spicy radish, it's not good for your stomach."

"Okay, okay." Long Wu awkwardly scratched the ground with her toes, knowing full well that it was nothing serious; Ningning had even sent her spicy dried radish.

The atmosphere was strange; the two of them were out late at night, with the lights off, and they looked like thieves.

Long Wu took the initiative to ask, "Ningning, did you come downstairs for something?"

Jian Ning then remembered, "Oh, right, I have to go out for a bit. You should get some rest."

Long Wu immediately asked, "Do you want me to give you a ride? I drove here."

"No need." Jian Ning waved her hand. "I'll be right back." The main reason was that it was quite a distance from Xiao Heqi's residence, and it would probably take a lot of time. There was no need for Long Wu to stay up all night with her.

Long Wu then added, "Then be careful."

"rest assured."

Jian Ning left the villa and took a taxi to the prime real estate in the northern part of the city, where river-view apartments were incredibly expensive, with each apartment easily costing nine figures.

On her way there, she sent a message to Xiao Heqi, but he didn't reply.

While worrying about his wife giving birth, Assistant Liu also sent her a WeChat message asking, "How is the boss doing now?"

Jian Ning replied, "I haven't arrived yet, and he hasn't replied to my message."

Assistant Liu: "The boss might be drunk; he drank quite a bit."

Half an hour later, Jian Ning arrived at the door. She rang the doorbell three times, but there was no response.

Assistant Liu told her to go straight in.

Jian Ning made a phone call, but Xiao Heqi didn't answer. Only then did she open the door and go in using the password given to her by Assistant Liu.

Upon entering the room, a chilly wind swept over me, carrying with it the strong smell of alcohol that filled the room.

The room lights were on, the sliding door to the balcony was open, and the white curtains were fluttering in the wind.

The huge, single-level apartment, with its black, white, and gray color scheme, looks empty and doesn't seem like anyone lives there.

Jian Ning found Xiao Heqi on the balcony.

He slept on the deck chair on the balcony, the cool breeze blowing but not waking him up.

Assistant Liu's concerns were not unfounded. If this wind blew all night, it would drive a person crazy.

Jian Ning leaned down and patted his shoulder.

"Xiao Heqi, don't sleep here, you'll catch a cold. Go back to your room."

no response.

This wasn't the first time Jian Ning had dealt with a drunkard. She had seen all sorts of things Nan Nan had done when she was drunk before. Sometimes she would fall asleep immediately and snore, other times she would go on a drunken rampage, dragging Jian Ning to sing "Friends for Life," or jumping around on the sofa and cursing the idiots she encountered at work...

In short, she has a knack for dealing with drunk people.

Jian Ning simply slipped under his armpits, dragged him down, and pulled him into the house.

The room is private property, so it's not very convenient to go in.

She dragged the person onto the sofa, then first closed the sliding door, and then went to the opposite balcony to close the window.

Lacking convection, the cool breeze that had been raging not long ago vanished without a trace.

Jian Ning turned around, returned to the sofa, and picked up the black blanket next to him to cover him.

Just as he was about to pull his hand back, his elbow was suddenly grabbed by a large, hot hand.

Xiao Heqi opened his eyes, looked at her, and said, "Dr. Jian, my stomach hurts."

After examining you, Jian Ning said, "Your body is perfectly fine, but it's best to avoid alcohol for the next six months. Your body hasn't fully recovered, and drinking alcohol can cause discomfort. Besides, even a normal person would experience stomach pain from excessive drinking."

She pulled her hand away slightly, and Xiao Heqi let go.

Jian Ning stood up and rubbed her wrist. "Let me make you some porridge. It might make you feel better. Where's the kitchen?"

Xiao Heqi pointed with his finger.

Jian Ning went to the kitchen and found that the kitchen utensils were quite complete, and there were also things in the refrigerator.

She glanced at it, saw there was honey, and made a cup of honey water.

Xiaomi also has that, but it takes too long to cook.

I cooked some oatmeal porridge and added some chopped green leafy vegetables.
