Chapter 30 Grievances
With my firm opposition, Hua Jingjing finally gave up the idea of buying a laptop. But she still wrote a long list, from daily necessities to snacks, from books and magazines to electronic products, a whole sheet of paper. Not only did she indicate the brand of the items, but she also listed the specific quantity and specifications in detail. What bothered me even more was that she actually wrote down the underwear she wanted to buy on the list.
Asking me, a grown man, to buy women's underwear? I can't stand the thought of it!
But my objection was rejected by Hua Jingjing. She said, "I have to take a shower every day. What do you want me to get in exchange? Or can you help me get it when I get home?"
How can this be!
Fortunately, she could buy the whole box of products in the supermarket, and she didn't have to choose from the women's counter, otherwise I would be so embarrassed. I had no choice but to agree.
The whole afternoon, I rushed around the major shopping malls and supermarkets with bags and bags. I had never been so crazy about shopping in my life. Cursing the troubles of being a woman, I panted and carried, clamped, carried, and carried all the things Hua Jingjing wanted to buy back to the high-end ward of the hospital.
Hua Jingjing was very happy and kept praising me for my ability. I could only smile bitterly at myself. After a short rest, I bought her another dinner and then hurriedly said goodbye. I was so tired from the day that I just wanted to go home and fall asleep. Hua Jingjing took out a bank card and said to me, "When you come tomorrow, go to the Development Bank to withdraw 10,000 yuan for me. I may need you to buy something for me tomorrow."
I opened my mouth in shock and shouted, "What? Still...buy?"
Hua Jingjing rolled her eyes at me and said, "Why? You don't want to? Do you want to regret it?"
"No, I just think you've bought enough. You're just going to be here for two or three days for observation and treatment. There's no need to set up everything like you're moving into a new home, right?"
"I want to, is it your business?"
I could only shake my head and murmur, "Women! What strange creatures they are. Incomprehensible! Incomprehensible!"
Hua Jingjing smiled, ignored my reluctance, and shoved the card into my hand, saying, "The password is 328396, remember? Also, I just asked the doctor, you paid 5,000 yuan for my emergency treatment? You can keep 5,000 yuan after the money is withdrawn tomorrow. I don't need a poor guy like you to pay for me, so you should keep the money to buy cigarettes."
Of course you have to return the money to me, I borrowed it! I thought to myself, so I didn't bother to be polite with her, put the card in my pocket, said bye, and turned away.
Before leaving, he heard Hua Jingjing calling, "Tang Qian! You must come early tomorrow!"
After returning home, I ate a few mouthfuls of food and casually explained why I needed the money. I didn't tell you everything, just that a colleague needed money for emergency treatment. Then I hurried to the room, charged my phone, and went to bed for a good sleep.
The next morning, after waking up and washing up, I unplugged my cell phone, turned it on, and received a continuous stream of text messages, as many as 17. I took a look and saw that they were all from the mobile company reminding me that someone had called me, and all the numbers were from Qiu Jieqin.
I sighed and called her cell phone.
"Hey, you looking for me?"
"Huh! You finally showed up? You're really capable! You didn't turn on your phone for a whole day and night. If you hate me, just tell me directly. Why are you hiding from me? Don't you understand how worried I would be? I thought something happened to you?"
"No, my phone ran out of battery and I'm not at home, so I can't charge it, so..."
"Humph! Who would believe that? Even if your phone ran out of battery, didn't you ever think of using another phone to call me? I only think about you all day long, but you never take me to heart. You... are a heartless person."
I am speechless!
Qiu Jieqin paused for a moment, then said quietly, "Tang Qian, I really miss you! Can't you be a little nicer to me?"
I listened silently, feeling emotional! Yes, I'm really fed up with fighting with a vicious and sinister female boss these past two days. It's really not as good as being with Qiu Jieqin! At least she really cares about me , so I don't have to be on guard against her harming me all the time. When I'm with her, I can feel the warmth.
When I think of Qiu Jieqin's kindness, I feel very sorry. I was really too cold to her.
I was suddenly moved and said to the phone: "Let's go to the movies tonight. To be honest, I want to see you too."
"Really?" Qiu Jieqin was overjoyed on the phone: "You didn't lie to me?"
I laughed: "Why would I lie to you? Are you going or not?"
"Go! Go! What movie are you going to see? I'll go buy the tickets!"
"I'll treat you! It doesn't matter what movie you watch. I've been very tired these past two days and just want to relax. I'll wait for you at the entrance of the China Cinema at eight o'clock in the evening."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
"It's a deal!" I hung up the phone with a smile, but then my smile disappeared when I remembered that I had to take care of the female boss again.
I said goodbye to my family listlessly, and then went to the Development Bank to withdraw 10,000 yuan, and then took a taxi to Guangfu Hospital. I opened the door of Hua Jingjing's ward and saw the doctor performing a routine examination on her.
When Hua Jingjing saw me coming in, she shouted, "Why did you come just now? I'm almost starving! Where's my breakfast?" I was stunned for a moment, then I realized that I hadn't bought it for her yet. So I said, "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it right away."
Hua Jingjing was quite unhappy and snorted, "How can you take care of others like this? You came late and didn't bring me any food. You are trying to piss me off to death. I want to eat steamed dumplings, why don't you go quickly?"
I scolded her again early in the morning, and I was very upset. However, I couldn't get angry because someone was present, so I turned around and left. Hua Jingjing was still angry, and the doctor smiled and said, "Men are sometimes careless. Don't take it too seriously. I think your boyfriend treats you very well. When he sent you to the hospital yesterday, he was really worried!"
Hua Jingjing blushed immediately after hearing this, and whispered: "Really? Actually, he...he..." She wanted to say that he is not my boyfriend, but for some reason she didn't say it after thinking for a long time. However, she looked shy and happy, like a daughter! The doctor smiled and shook his head, and said: "Okay, now take your temperature again."...
I bought a basket of steamed buns, put them in a plastic bag, and returned to the ward. Seeing that the doctor was gone, I said unhappily, "Your buns, take them!"
Hua Jingjing had a mysterious smile on her face, not showing any dissatisfaction with my attitude. She took the bun and asked me with a smile: "Have you eaten it?"
I answered bluntly: "I'm not hungry!"
Hua Jingjing didn't take it seriously and ate with gusto. While eating, she said, "The doctor just said that my illness is not serious anymore, but I am still a little weak. I will be well in a few days."
I said, "Please get well soon, so I don't have to take care of you every day. I'm exhausted."
Hua Jingjing frowned slightly and said, "What are you doing? Are you annoyed? Then you don't have to come! Who are you showing off to?"
I was so angry that I didn't know where to vent it, but when I heard what she said, I immediately said, "You said it, and I've been wanting it for a long time! This is the ten thousand yuan I just withdrew, and they returned five thousand to me, so I have five thousand left. Here is the card, and I'll put it all here. I have something else to do, so I can't keep you company anymore. Bye!" I put the money and cards on the bed, turned around and walked out.
Hua Jingjing was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Tang Qian! How dare you! Stop right there!"
But when I get angry, who cares if you are the king? I ignored him and continued to walk out. Hua Jingjing jumped down from the bed barefoot in a hurry, slammed the door I just opened, and blocked the door handle with her body. She said with a wronged look: "You lose your temper when I say a few words to you. I am a patient, can't you be more lenient with me?"
I looked at the seemingly pitiful Hua Jingjing in shock. Is this... the unruly and headstrong female boss I know? Is she... plotting something again?
I didn't know how to explain myself, so I stopped and said seriously, "Although I am your subordinate, we are equal in personality. You have no right to order me around. I am only taking care of you out of moral obligation. In fact, I am not related to you and I can completely ignore you. Don't be confused and think that I am easy to bully. I am telling you, I will not serve you now. Get out of my way. I want to leave."
Hua Jingjing's eyes were filled with tears, and they were about to fall. She pouted and said, "What are you doing? Are you so angry? I was wrong, isn't it okay? How dare I bully you? You've been bullying me these past two days! I... I didn't dare to do anything to you."
As she was talking, tears welled up in her eyes, falling down in big drops. I saw her look like a bullied young wife, and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I could only say, "Why are you crying? Wipe it off!"
