Inheriting 300 million and a sick boyfriend

Chapter 22: Meet a beautiful sister on the way to buy medicine
It is well known that Zhou Weiyi is not in good mental condition, but his physical condition has always been acceptable.

It can't be said that his fever this time was sudden.

He accidentally ate a carrot outside and vomited violently. He didn't look well.

Bai Yanan didn't take it too seriously at the time, thinking that he would be able to recover on his own after vomiting, just like last time.

Who would have thought that I could give myself a fever this time.

It’s really frustrating to think that a man over 1.80 meters tall could be knocked down by a tiny carrot.

It's a bit tragic, but also funny.

Seeing that he was already in average spirits and now looked even more wilted than the flowers he had killed in the past due to the fire, she decided that she would never let him touch even a single carrot.

In order to make him feel better quickly, I watched him take the antipyretic medicine and then sent him back to his room.

Seeing the man lying down to rest, she returned to the living room and saw that the antipyretic medicine at home had just been taken. She was worried that he would have a fever again when he came back and would not need enough medicine, so she went downstairs to the nearby pharmacy to buy some.

"Drip-drip-"

She had just bought medicine and walked out of the pharmacy. On her way home, a white car parked on the side of the road suddenly honked two or three times, which caught her attention.

She didn't care at first and just walked forward normally.

Just as she walked up to the car, the window rolled down.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a woman wearing sunglasses in the car.

Huh? Why does this person look familiar?

She had already walked past the car, but pretended to casually take two steps back.

"Miss Piao...Ms. Gao?!"

After seeing the people in the car clearly, Bai Yanan was surprised and happy.

She subconsciously wanted to call her "beautiful sister", but she felt that she was her boss after all, and it would be too informal to call her that, so she immediately changed her words.

I was afraid that the other person would forget me, so I mentioned it.

"We met in the restaurant yesterday, remember?"

Gao Xuling, who was looking at her through the car door, also responded with a smile, "Of course, I didn't expect to see you again."

"No!"

Bai Yanan was very happy to hear that the other party still remembered her.

Although she had given the other person her business card yesterday, she was not sure whether the other person had remembered her name.

After saying hello, she also specifically said her name again.

"But you can call me Yanan or Xiaonan. It's easier to remember."

While Gao Xuling happily accepted Bai Yanan's new name, she also corrected the way she addressed herself.

"Since I call you Xiao Nan, you should stop calling me Miss Gao. It seems so strange."

Bai Yanan is still willing to get close to people who make a good impression on her.

Although she liked the name "pretty sister" very much, after knowing the other party's identity, she felt that it was not appropriate to call her that.

After thinking for a while, she came up with a name that would make the two of them seem less unfamiliar but still maintain a sense of distance.

"Okay, Miss Gao~"

She called it so sweetly, and Gao Xuling seemed to like this name very much.

Upon learning that she was waiting for someone, Bai Yanan said hello and prepared to leave.

But the other party said that his friend would not arrive for a while and asked her if she would like to chat with him for a while.

"Of course!"

Bai Yanan responded readily and got into the passenger seat at the other party's invitation.

Although the two had only met once before, they had a good impression of each other and surprisingly got along well.

As they chatted, the topic shifted from work to family issues.

"The director said I was picked up from a garbage dump by a kind sanitation worker, and because he couldn't find my family, he sent me to the welfare home."

After she said this, she found that the other party was silent. Maybe he was thinking of some words of comfort...

She was already tired of hearing all kinds of sympathy words, so she quickly added.

"But I'm not miserable! Although I don't have parents or family, I'm lucky. I met a lot of good people along the way, and my current job and life are pretty good."

Seeing how lightly she said it, Gao Xuling's eyes flashed with complexity.

"Then...have you ever thought about going back to find your parents?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yanan shook her head like a wave drum.

"They threw me into the garbage dump, why should I look for them? What if they have a son or something, and they take me back and ask me to get married in exchange for a dowry for their son?"

Bai Yanan has seen too many things like this in the news, and she shudders just thinking about it.

Since she was not being pitied, she quickly turned the subject back to the other person.

It was unexpectedly learned that Gao Xuling's parents died early and she was raised in a relative's home.

When she learned that her current career was all built from scratch by herself, she was extremely impressed.

She also unexpectedly learned that the restaurant's name came from her missing sister Gao Meibi.

The first time I learned the story behind "The Jade Emperor", I couldn't help but feel sad for the other party.

She felt like she should say something to comfort him, but it seemed like nothing she could say would be effective.

Perhaps because the topic was too heavy, Gao Xuling quickly changed the subject.

She saw Bai Yanan holding medicine in her hand and asked her if she was sick.

Talking about this, Bai Yanan shook her head helplessly.

"I'm fine. It's the crispy one at home who doesn't eat carrots that's down."

"Huh? Are you two dating?"

"That's not the case!"

When Gao Xuling learned that the two were only living together temporarily and did not have any such relationship, she seemed relieved.

And in the end, he told Bai Yanan carefully and sincerely.

"Although it may not be appropriate to say this, I still suggest that you keep a proper distance from him. His family... is too complicated."

If someone said such things to Bai Yanan for no reason, she would somewhat suspect that the other person had bad intentions.

But when Gao Xuling said this, she didn't feel that way at all, and thought it was very pertinent.

However, she couldn't reveal too much about the two of them at once. When she heard her mention Zhou Weiyi's mother, she asked curiously.

When she found out that his hatred of carrots was related to the abuse he suffered from his biological mother in his childhood, she felt such mixed emotions that it took her a while to recover.

This person was in a hurry to pull me away yesterday. Maybe he didn't like people reminding him of his past.

After talking with Gao Xuling, she returned home and the first thing she did was to check on the people in the room.

He already had a high fever, and after taking medicine, he was sleeping soundly now.

She walked over and touched her forehead out of concern. It was still very hot and she was sweating a lot. Her hair was stuck to it.

I was afraid that he would sweat and catch a cold, which would make it harder for him to recover, so I wanted to get a towel to wipe him.

Suddenly I heard him talking in his sleep.

When Bai Yanan first heard it, it seemed like he was asking who was being mean to him.

She was about to sigh that this man must have trouble even in his dreams, but after listening carefully, she found that what he said was more like a bear, not a beast.

Bear?
Suddenly I remembered the teddy bear I brought back from the nursing home.

When she went to the study, took the teddy bear and stuffed it into his quilt, the man who had been sleeping restlessly gradually calmed down.

Bai Yanan sighed that he was indeed a child, and at the same time, she was glad that he was not talking about the cactus.

It’s not easy for her to stuff him into bed…
