Chapter 39: Hospitals, negotiations, status quo.

When the nurse returned to the ward, the doctors and nurses were already gathered in Zhou Kai's room with a headache.

And Zhou Kai, with bloodshot eyes, roared.

"Get away from me, all of you! Don't touch me!"

"What kind of shitty hospital is this! What have you done to me? Was it Shen Zhangqing's idea to treat me like this?!"

"Shen Zhangqing! Where's Shen? Where is he? Tell Shen Zhangqing to come see me!"

The attending physician was a black female.

Facing the hysterical Zhou Kai, her attitude was quite calm: "Mr. Zhou, this is one of the best hospitals in Toronto. If you want to receive better treatment, we will transfer you to another hospital when your condition has stabilized."

Zhou Kai still refuses to believe.

He felt pain all over his body and weakness in his lower limbs, so he naturally thought that Shen Zhangqing had thrown him into a random hospital, treated him negatively, and left him to fend for himself.

Chi Xiaochi was at home taking inventory of Zhou Kai's possessions when he received a call from the hospital.

The hospital politely asked him to come by.

Zhou Kai's parents are long dead, and he has very few collateral relatives, not to mention no children. Apart from Shen Zhangqing, Zhou Kai could not find another person in the world who was closer to him.

However, Mr. Zhou is apparently not yet able to recognize the situation.

Just moments ago, he was spitting on Shen Zhangqing, calling him a murderer and an abuser.

It was rare for the hospital to receive such a new type of mental illness, but transferring him to the psychiatric department was also a problem, as his injuries were too severe and the psychiatric facilities were not sufficiently well equipped.

So they asked Chi Xiaochi what he was going to do about it.

Chi Xiaochi was very polite, trouble you guys, sedative dosage, I'll be right there.

After putting down the phone, Chi Xiaochi said, "Zhou Kai is really overthinking. How could I do such a thing."

061 concurred.

No one wants Zhou Kai to live a long life now more than Shen Zhangqing.

Chi Xiaochi took a cigarette and held it in his mouth, not intending to light it.

In the last world, Cheng Yuan's voice was too valuable to smoke; in this world, Shen Zhangqing was wounded, and Chi Xiaochi once suspected that this was a god who advocated the prohibition of smoking.

But there were benefits. After all this time, his need for cigarettes had faded a lot.

He asked, "What happened to Zhou Kai's property?"

061 said, "I checked the law here, like Zhou Kai, after the divorce, at least one half of his assets should be cut to Shen Zhangqing, and he should also pay a high amount of alimony every month, plus Sam promised to give Shen Zhangqing 5% of the company's dry stock dividends every year, which is enough to ensure that Shen Zhangqing can live and eat well for the rest of his life. Zhangqing's promise to give Shen Zhangqing 5% of the company's annual dividends is enough to ensure that Shen Zhangqing will be able to live the rest of her life without any worries."

...... These decades of food and clothing were gambled with three years of hell and two lives.

Chi Xiaochi, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked up at the ceiling and muttered to himself, "Is it worth it or not."

061 said, "It's worth it, at least for now."

Chi Xiaochi : "...... you know what I'm talking about?"

061: "Guess."

Chi Xiaochi said, "Mr. Six, honestly, did you put some kind of information-stealing virus in my head."

061 laughed, "So, I guessed right."

"And there's no reward for guessing what it does."

061 was momentarily speechless, unsure of how to respond.

...... Not for any reason, just to guess.

As boring as it sounds, with Chi Xiaochi, 061 can experience the slow awakening of human feelings within.

However, he wasn't sure if he liked the feeling or if he preferred to stay with Chi Xiaochi.

Of course, we have to go to the hospital. In any case, Zhou Kai is still Shen Zhangqing's nominal husband, and Shen Zhangqing can't afford to keep her head in the sand when he's making trouble.

Chi Xiaochi put the unlit cigarette into the ashtray and slowly freshened up, not dressing up, just looking presentable was the first priority.

When he arrived at the hospital, Chi Xiaochi went to see Zhou Kai first.

The effects of the sedative still lingered, and he collapsed on the bed in a stupor, his cheeks oily and puffy, his hair disheveled, of which the gray hairs could no longer be hidden, the roots expending, and he looked disheveled and disheveled.

Chi Xiaochi went to the doctor's office and asked about Zhou Kai's injuries.

The female doctor, while answering truthfully, also sympathized with Shen Zhangqing.

Shen Zhangqing bowed his head and smiled gently, "It's alright, it's all in the past."

Anyone who looks at such a beautiful and good-tempered Xiao Qing Nian will like her, and the female doctor is even more motherly, saying: "Come to the hospital for medical checkups more often in the future. The injuries you sustained when you were young can be big or small, and if you don't heal well, you will have sequelae in your old age. Our dean is also very concerned about you, saying that if you come, our hospital can provide you with unlimited free medical checkups."

Shen Zhangqing hung her head shyly, "Thank you. However, I may be leaving the city soon."

The female doctor understood this and asked, "It's good to get out of here. Where do you plan to go afterward?"

Shen Zhangqing said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

061 Looking at Chi Xiaochi's smiling face, he was momentarily distracted.

...... actually thought about it a long time ago.

When Shen Zhangqing was still alive, he liked to read all kinds of geographic magazines, and every time he came to something related to Melbourne, he would stare at it for a long time.

It was globally recognized as a livable city, on the literary side, slightly showy, with the flavor of an old town, laid back and slow, perfect for a person to heal in silence.

For the past two days, 061 has been looking after the books, while Chi Xiaochi has been digging out all the geography magazines in the house, photocopying and cutting out anything related to Melbourne, and searching for Melbourne real estate listings.

For some reason, looking at Chi Xiaochi, who was seriously making newspaper clippings, 061's heart felt as if it had been dipped in warm water with honey, and was so soft.

He didn't know what emotion it was, it was kind of foreign, and he had a hard time even finding a proper term to explain the feeling in the first place.

It was at this time that a male nurse knocked on the door and entered the doctor's office, "No. 26 woke up and said he wanted to see Mr. Shen, making a lot of noise."

Chi Xiaochi's eyes, which were full of tenderness just a moment ago, immediately flashed with a small fox-like luster.

He said to 061, "Still alive na."

061: "......" suddenly thinks Zhou Kai is better off unconscious.

The little fox waddled into the hospital room with his tail in the air.

Before entering, he asked the doctor to stay outside.

The female doctor was a little uneasy, "Are you sure you want to go alone?"

"...... is not alone."

With Shen Zhangqing's words, a tall man with a gentle temperament who had been sitting in the corridor since a moment ago stood up and bowed slightly to Shen Zhangqing, his Mandarin quite standard: "Mr. Shen."

He's Chinese, Zhao Guanlan, a gold-medal lawyer hired by Chi Xiaochi.

Shen Zhangqing will never be alone again.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the hospital room, Zhou Kai's sharp eyes swept over, wanting to use a pair of eyes to Shen Zhangqing death.

Chi Xiaochi, however, didn't care about his attitude at all, pulling up a chair a foot from the bed and sitting down.

He inquired earnestly, "How do you feel now?"

The position and status of the two are now thoroughly exchanged.

In the past, it was Zhou Kai who looked down on him from his bedside, admiring the wounds he had branded on Shen Zhangqing's body and offering cheap sympathy, taking pleasure in Shen Zhangqing's panic, fear, and hatred.

Now Chi Xiaochi replicated Zhou Kai's eyes in their entirety, casting the same look at Zhou Kai as if he were an animal.

Zhou Kai was disgusted by his usual moves backfiring.

He struggled upward, trying to get himself to sit up straight.

He could not tolerate Shen Zhangqing looking at him from such a perspective!

"Don't flop." Shen Zhangqing said, "If you want to rehab, you'll have to do it in two months. The doctor said, in your case, if the rehab is good, coupled with medication to ease the pain, you can still occasionally get up on crutches and walk a couple of steps."

Zhou Kai stared roundly, "...... What did you say?"

He panicked and went to pinch his waist and legs with his still intact hand, but found no feeling at all.

...... Not a drug reaction? Not a transient after-effect?

He's going to be paralyzed?

Zhou Kai's eyes, which had always been nothing but indifference, mockery and disdain, were colored with a layer of despair.

He just hit the car, he just wanted to teach Shen Zhangqing ...... a lesson

...... By the way, Shen Zhangqing!

He had a rib contusion, and had already deeply appreciated the pain of Shen Zhangqing some days ago, and it hurt to say one more word or breathe more than a single breath, and he was blue in the face.

He gritted his back teeth and said in a false voice, "It's you, you're doing it on purpose ...... It's you who's counting on me, the video, the mid-year party, and the car accident-"

I have to say, in a sense, Zhou Kai is the truth.

But Chi Xiaochi had no intention of explaining or convincing Zhou Kai, and just watched him quietly as he went mad.

As he said himself, "I didn't grow my mouth to use it for debates with people like this."

For Yang Baihua and Zhou Kai, these people have their own set of deep-rooted values, and it would be simpler to change them than to ask them to be reincarnated.

What Chi Xiaochi wants to do is to give them a long time to ruminate on the bitter taste of their own fruit.

He glanced at Zhao Guanlan.

Zhao Guanlan from just came in, on the eyes and nose, very elegant, a mouth is also light: "Mr. Zhou, please calm down some."

Zhou Kai said roughly, "What are you? Get out!"

Zhao Guanlan also did not get angry, opened his briefcase and took out the documents inside, "With all due respect, your chirping like that is not good for your recovery. I suggest you don't talk, just listen."

Zhou Kai flushed red and was about to curse, but Zhao Guanlan calmly opened the folder in his hand and held up his gold-rimmed glasses, "On behalf of my client, Mr. Shen Zhangqing, I am filing for a divorce and dealing with a series of compensation for the subsequent division of property, personal damages, and mental damages. For the next period of time, you will see me often, it is better for you to get used to it as early as possible."

061: "......" Oh exclusion.

Chi Xiaochi: "It's hard to tell. I consulted many law firms and compared them one by one, and I think this guy is right up my alley."

061 was surprised, "You like that?"

Chi Xiaochi said, "He reminds me of someone."

061 was inexplicably a little pained in the heart, "...... friends again?"

Chi Xiaochi, however, replied, "No, I've seen him once or twice in some business activities, I just know him, but he's not a bad guy, he's one of the more interesting of the rich kids I've met."

Hearing Zhao Guanlan's words, Zhou Kai smiled instead of being angry, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Shen Zhangqing: "Divorce? Who are you divorcing?"

Shen Zhangqing raised his eyes, "You."

"You're dreaming!" Zhou Kai commented, "I'm going to be tied to you for the rest of my life! You want to get rid of me? You want to go out with Sam? Shen, you're thinking too much."

Hearing such a statement, Zhao Guanlan frowned slightly, "Mr. Zhou, please grow up."

Shen Zhangqing looked at Zhou Kai, who was shooing and panting like a cockfight.

A short while later, he spoke slowly, "Zhou Kai, are you sure you want to be tied to me for the rest of your life?"

Zhou Kai had never seen such a tone and look on Shen Zhangqing before.

Cold, mean, and with a little bit of condescending sarcasm.

Shen Zhangqing looked down at Zhou Kai, the corners of his lips curled lightly, "Fine, since Mr. Zhou is so inseparable from me, I can not divorce this marriage."

He leaned his body forward, closer to Zhou Kai, "When we got married, we said that for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, we would always be together."

"I'll stay by your side for the rest of my life and take good care of you if you want."

With that, Shen Zhangqing stood up, "Lawyer Zhao, let's go."

Zhao Guanlan reacted quickly, he was only stunned for a second before he closed the file he had just opened and politely said, "Goodbye, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Kai even had a hint of fear: "Shen Zhangqing, where are you going? What are you going to do to me?"

Shen Zhangqing didn't look back, and didn't intend to give him any answer.

Zhou Kai was struggling on the bed, but she was already in a state of color: "Surname Shen, don't be complacent! Now you dare to threaten me, huh? When I rise again in the future, I will definitely kill you!"

The reason for his colorfulness was that Chi Xiaochi was able to monitor in real time that his remorse value was climbing rapidly, skyrocketing from around 50 all the way up to directly over 80.

Chi Xiaochi pursed her lips as if she had heard some funny joke.

He said, "Don't worry, you won't get up."
