After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 59

In the hall, Xia Shishi and Wei Xixue came face to face.

Wei Xixue’s hair was tied up very meticulously, and along with the glasses on her nose, she exuded an air of being uninteresting.

She looked at Wen Jiao with half-closed eyes, appearing very tired, yet her gaze was extremely focused.

Wei Xixue’s eyes shifted towards Xia Shishi.

Xia Shishi was standing right next to Wen Jiao, staying close to her, which suggested she was a very important family member.

Wei Xixue didn’t follow entertainment news much, but she could largely guess their relationship.

Zheng He came downstairs with Ye Murou at that moment.

Ye Murou had already changed clothes. The outfit Zhou Xiaojiang wore didn’t fit her, so Zheng He temporarily borrowed a set from the Wen family’s maid. Consequently, she was now wearing… durable cleaning staff uniform.

At a glance, she looked like a mere background figure.

Fortunately, Zheng He was present, so Wei Xixue’s gaze lingered for a few more seconds. She asked Zheng He, “Is everything ready?”

Zheng He hurriedly handed over the medical records file.

It documented Wen Jiao’s physical changes over the past few years, making it convenient for Wei Xixue to review.

After receiving it, Wei Xixue didn’t look at anyone else, concentrating solely on the columns of data.

“This is a bit… troublesome,” Xia Shishi muttered.

She glanced at Ye Murou out of the corner of her eye. Ye Murou kept her hands modestly placed in front of her, truly looking like a hired maid of the house.

How could she go up and hook up with someone while being so low-key! Xia Shishi was anxious.

Wen Jiao reminded her to focus: “Grandpa is watching.”

Xia Shishi withdrew her peripheral gaze and indeed saw Grandpa Wen looking at her with a smiling face.

Thinking of what Grandpa Wen had just discussed with her, Xia Shishi felt a pang of awkwardness.

“Hmm?” Wei Xixue turned a page, her voice rising slightly at the end.

She was currently looking at the records of Wen Jiao’s recent condition, which were quite peculiar, causing her to show some interest.

Although overall, Wen Jiao’s health was relatively stable—it wouldn’t get better, nor would it get significantly worse—there were significant changes during several intermediate phases.

This included the body gradually improving, offering some hope, but then suddenly deteriorating and becoming dangerous.

Later, for unknown reasons, it began to recover to the previous state.

Wei Xixue focused on the records of that dangerous period, including how Zheng He performed the emergency rescue.

According to the handwritten notes, the treatment during those two days was conducted at home.

Wei Xixue furrowed her brow. She didn’t believe that just with those basic instruments at home, Wen Jiao could overcome the crisis, especially with Zheng He, a doctor who had only been out of school for a few years.

If he had that capability, there would have been no need to invite her over.

She continued reading and found that Zheng He had specifically added a note at the end: “During this time, Wen Jiao’s fiancée, Xia Shishi, remained by her side.”

This read as if the power of love had taken effect.

Wei Xixue curled her lips.

She closed the medical records file and looked at the woman standing beside Wen Jiao. She was truly too young, so small that Wei Xixue felt like calling her “little niece.”

“Are you Xia Shishi?”

Xia Shishi was still secretly signaling with her hand for Ye Murou to hurry up and make a move.

Startled by the sudden question, her hand froze, and then she quickly nodded: “That’s me, Wen Jiao’s family member!”

Grandpa Wen: “Pfft.”

Wen Jiao: “…”

Wei Xixue: “I have some questions for you.”

Xia Shishi: “…Oh.”

Xia Shishi reluctantly walked over, turning back halfway to look deeply at Ye Murou.

She hoped Ye Murou could gather the courage to start a conversation soon and not waste the opportunity.

She clenched her fist, cheering Ye Murou on.

Success or failure hinged on this moment!

Ye Murou lowered her head as if avoiding something. The next second, she felt all eyes in the hall focus on her.

Everyone saw Xia Shishi’s little gesture.

Including Wen Jiao, Grandpa Wen, and also Wei Xixue…

They first looked at Xia Shishi in confusion, wondering what she was trying to do, and then followed her gaze to Ye Murou. Suddenly, Ye Murou became the center of attention.

Wei Xixue only glanced at her, then indifferently withdrew her attention and proceeded to ask Xia Shishi a few detailed questions.

Fortunately, Xia Shishi could answer them all.

Wei Xixue fell into thought after listening.

“I understand.”

“Let’s go for a physical examination first. Then I will formulate a course of treatment and observe for a few days. If there are no issues, I will return.”

Wei Xixue didn’t mention the probability of Wen Jiao’s recovery, simply stating that she would only stay here for a few days before leaving.

They moved to a different location for the examination.

Ye Murou did not follow. An examination was a serious matter, and even if she was supposed to go up and hook up with Wei Xixue, it shouldn’t be at this time.

She stood still and sighed with relief.

It was a good thing she didn’t try to fake a fall just now; it would have been too embarrassing with so many people around.

But what should she do next?

Xia Shishi had also gone with Wen Jiao. Ye Murou didn’t know anyone here.

She couldn’t go home yet; the matter wasn’t concluded.

The examination might take a while; it seemed she could only continue waiting… Ye Murou pulled a mask from her pocket, bowed her head, and returned to the room where she had changed clothes.

Fortunately, she had brought her laptop, which could help pass the time.

Ye Murou went back to the room alone.

While waiting for the computer to boot up, she was still wondering: Did she really have to do this?

She could go to the Xia Group without hesitation.

When Xia Shishi asked her to observe whether the R&D department colleagues were acting strangely, she readily agreed.

She had successfully carried out both of these tasks so far.

Regarding the use of a honey trap, specifically acting as a beauty, Ye Murou had reservations but still agreed. Before meeting Wei Xixue in person, she also planned to follow Xia Shishi’s method.

Regardless of success or failure, it was all to help Xia Shishi.

“I regret it,” the computer was already on, but Ye Murou didn’t move; instead, she spoke to herself.

After seeing Wei Xixue, she began to regret agreeing to Xia Shishi’s request.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help Xia Shishi, but she felt an immense sense of guilt towards Wei Xixue. She hadn’t done anything yet, but the moment she saw Wei Xixue, she felt nervous, with sweaty hands and feet.

Studying diligently and working hard.

These were the life goals Ye Murou set for herself.

And Wei Xixue was practically the template for these two goals.

Ye Murou noticed it the moment she first saw her.

Focused, serious, and single-minded.

Such a person made Ye Murou genuinely admire her. It wasn’t obvious from photos, but seeing her in person, the kind of excitement one feels when meeting an idol deeply affected Ye Murou.

Ye Murou recalled the scene when she lowered her head to secretly look at Wei Xixue.

Her ears felt a bit hot.

If it weren’t for Xia Shishi’s suggestion, she would probably only regard Wei Xixue as someone to emulate.

But with all of Xia Shishi’s suggestions, seeing Wei Xixue made her involuntarily fantasize about approaching her. The atmosphere was ambiguous, and her words and actions hid ulterior motives.

Thus, her heart started to race and her face flushed.

It was similar to an inexperienced bookworm suddenly becoming aware of romance.

Ye Murou instantly opened her browser.

Search: Wei Xixue.

“Hiss, are you alright?” Xia Shishi held a cup of hot water, waiting for Wen Jiao to take it.

After the examination, Wen Jiao’s face was pale, looking truly worrisome.

The sight made Xia Shishi so heartbroken that she wanted to rush over and stop the process.

She looked at Wen Jiao with pain in her eyes, disregarding Wen Jiao’s cold shoulder and the thoughts of revenge she harbored. All she wanted was to care for Wen Jiao properly.

After the examination, Wen Jiao felt drained of strength.

Now, not only could her legs not move, but even lifting her hands was difficult.

She knew she would go through this, so despite the physical discomfort, she endured it. Wen Jiao wouldn’t complain about such a minor thing. Even at the most difficult times, she only tightly furrowed her brows.

Once the examination was over, Wen Jiao relaxed her brows and instinctively looked for Xia Shishi.

Xia Shishi had been waiting the whole time, which undoubtedly cheered Wen Jiao up, and her body didn’t seem quite so uncomfortable.

Wen Jiao struggled to lift her hand, wanting to take the water from Xia Shishi. She didn’t want to drink it; she just purely wanted to take it from Xia Shishi’s hand, wanting to feel her care.

Seeing her movements were a bit slow, Xia Shishi directly brought the cup to her lips.

Wen Jiao: “…”

She reluctantly drank.

“Will this kind of examination be done often?” Xia Shishi asked after feeding her the water. She noticed Zheng He’s examinations weren’t like this and thought it would be easier.

Zheng He’s examinations could only be described as routine check-ups.

Naturally, they were different.

Wen Jiao didn’t explain.

She often went through blood tests like this when she was little. At the time, everyone believed that if they spent enough money, they might be able to cure her.

Such examinations stopped only after they proved ineffective, and then everyone began to wonder how long she would live.

Suddenly experiencing this again, Wen Jiao felt like she was experiencing a new beginning.

The pain was sharp, and all the discomfort in her body reminded her of her existence. Xia Shishi’s voice also became clearer.

Xia Shishi assumed Wen Jiao was too tired to speak from the pain.

She spoke on her own: “It’s a good thing you put the company matters aside. You just need to focus on treatment.”

Xia Shishi reached out and touched Wen Jiao’s hair, tidying it for her.

Even though it was summer and the weather was hot.

Wen Jiao was not as sensitive to heat as she was.

The air conditioning was on inside, yet there was a thin layer of sweat on Wen Jiao’s forehead, making it obvious where the sweat came from.

Wen Jiao closed her eyes, her hand resting on the armrest of the wheelchair, trying to feel the presence of her legs.

She had only just undergone the examination, so of course, she couldn’t feel anything, but Wen Jiao had a feeling that she was close to standing up.

She experienced this feeling in her mind for a long time. When she opened her eyes, her legs were still motionless.

That’s good, at least her whole body wasn’t hurting. Wen Jiao forced a smile.

Wei Xixue walked out of the room behind them.

She saw Wen Jiao and nodded as a greeting; everything that needed to be said had already been discussed in the room.

She then looked at Xia Shishi: “The things you need to cooperate with will be told to you by Zheng He later.”

Xia Shishi: “Okay.”

She hesitated about whether to ask.

What was the specific situation, how much certainty was there that she could stand up, would the treatment have side effects, and would it cause Wen Jiao more pain?

Wei Xixue didn’t seem willing to discuss these things.

That’s why her first sentence was to tell Xia Shishi to ask Zheng He.

She was taken here right after getting off the plane and hadn’t rested properly. Considering this, Xia Shishi gave up on asking and decided to find Zheng He later to ask for details.

“Thank you for your hard work, Doctor. I’ll have someone show you to your room,” Xia Shishi planned to call someone over.

Wei Xixue didn’t refuse. She looked at Xia Shishi: “Your grandpa said you had something you wanted to ask me. Aren’t you going to ask?”

She needed the answer before she could go back to her room to rest. She didn’t want to be disturbed while resting.

Xia Shishi’s first thought was those few questions she had earlier.

Then, realizing Wei Xixue mentioned Grandpa, she remembered what Grandpa Wen had told her to ask.

Xia Shishi: “…”

She didn’t want to ask.

She really didn’t want to ask that question.

Wei Xixue waited there, seemingly not willing to easily go back to her room to rest unless Xia Shishi asked.

Xia Shishi didn’t want to waste her time, so she reluctantly spoke: “Grandpa asked me to also ask if Wen Jiao and I can have a baby.”

Wen Jiao looked over from the side.

Even Wei Xixue was momentarily speechless.

Xia Shishi’s face turned red with embarrassment. She quickly betrayed Grandpa Wen: “He’s the one who told me to ask!”

Why would she want to ask this? At most, she would ask if she and Wen Jiao could share a room.

Wei Xixue: “…Same-sex female reproduction technology has only been successful in animals and has not been applied to humans. Theoretically, it’s feasible, but I don’t recommend you pursue it.”

Same-sex female reproduction technology, simply put, involves taking hematopoietic stem cells from one person’s bone marrow and inducing them to become “pseudo” spermatogonia cells.

Then, taking the oocytes of the other person, performing various differentiations, and forming a fertilized egg.

If Wen Jiao’s health condition allowed, it would be one thing.

But clearly, she was not up to it right now.

Xia Shishi: “…”

She looked at Wen Jiao. Wen Jiao also glanced at her: “I’ll find time to talk to Grandpa. You don’t need to worry about this.”

Xia Shishi: “I haven’t said anything yet…”

Wei Xixue: “If these are the kinds of questions you have, you should ask a different doctor.”

She was not an expert in that field.

Xia Shishi stared at her.

She felt that Zheng He’s intelligence was at least half correct: Wei Xixue was interested in women.

Wait, where was Ye Murou? Xia Shishi ignored the awkwardness and felt that now was the best time for Ye Murou to make her move!

At least she needed to test the waters to see if the two had any chemistry!

At the critical moment, Ye Murou wasn’t around. Xia Shishi couldn’t push her forward, nor could she leave Wen Jiao to find Ye Murou. She could only quickly send a text message to Ye Murou.

Wei Xixue walked away after answering.

Xia Shishi sighed and put away her phone. It looked like it would have to wait until tomorrow.

Grandpa Wen seemed to have found the right moment to come over. He smiled at Xia Shishi: “How was it? Did you ask the doctor?”

Xia Shishi: “…”

She looked at Wen Jiao. You just said you would talk to Grandpa yourself!

Wen Jiao was composed: “No.”

Grandpa Wen sighed in disappointment: “How boring. Shishi is more interesting. Come on, Shishi, come play games with me.”

Xia Shishi.

Did Grandpa Wen want to train an e-sports champion?

Grandpa Wen walked over to Xia Shishi. Considering her terrible gaming skills, he sighed in disappointment again. All he wanted was someone to play games with him. Was it that difficult?
