Jiang Cong deftly put Li Shaoling on a reclining chair, while Jiang Yigu approached him, hands in his pocket.
As he pulled up Shaoling’s eyelids, Jiang Yigu exclaimed in surprise, “Your condition is very serious.”
Li Shaoling threw him a cold glare. “Cut the crap.”
Jiang Yigu’s thoughtful grin faded. He asked, “Tell me then, what happened? Are you thinking about that person again?”
Li Shaoling said nothing, but Jiang Cong said, “Boss has found her.”
“She’s found?” Jiang Yigu’s brow lifted. “Well done, slept with her yet?”
Li Shaoling’s gaze turned cold at once; his face was saying keep-talking-and-I-will-kill-you.
Even so, Jiang Yigu merely shrugged. Clearing his throat in fear, he became serious. “Anyway, it’s your body having a problem now that you’ve found her. After all, you were lucky to have survived that accident—I read news of a car crash similar to yours just days ago, although the victim’s head was essentially blown apart. But look at you, not even a scratch.”
Neither Li Shaoling nor Jiang Cong could say a word.
Was that supposed to be positive or negative?
“Are you better now?” Jiang Yigu then asked, returning to the topic at hand.
“No.” Li Shaoling replied icily.
“Well, it’s normal for your brain to hurt since it was wounded before. The recent check-up made it clear that there is no pathological deviance, and aside from possible viral infection, it is likely to be something to do with your mental state. I suggest seeing a psychiatrist—it would do you some good.”
Rolling his chair back and returning to his desk, Jiang Yigu began to scrawl over a piece of paper and handed it to Jiang Cong. “These are the few things you have to stay aware of and your prescription, although I recommend that you don’t take it unless it really hurts. And remember, don’t drink, don’t smoke, don’t get angry, don’t stay up overnight, don’t…”
Meanwhile, Li Shaoling had sat up, and promptly cut him short in irritation. “You can shut up.”
“Yeah,” Jiang Cong agreed. “You’re basically telling Boss to do nothing… It would be easier to tell him to just die.”
Moreover, not getting angry was simply ridiculous.
After all, it would be a distortion of common sense if Boss did not see red when it came to Miss Ji.
“…Dying is okay I guess,” Jiang Yigu replied. “Would you be needing a good recommendation for funeral services? My friend runs one.”
Li Shaoling smiled coldly. “You can save that for yourself.”

Enjoying the coolness from the air-conditioner, Tian Miaomiao brushed through the news headlines.
“Say, Xixi,” she suddenly called out to Ji Weixi. “The wedding was canceled for some time now, but why hasn’t Ji Jianing’s management company announced anything?”
“Everyone would be suspicious if they announce it now,” Ji Weixi replied as she washed Li Shaoling’s pants. “Just think about it—making a statement right after she was dumped? Others would think that they were riding the wave to gain sympathy.”
“Their PR team isn’t stupid… I’m guessing it would be announced tomorrow morning, and that way, they could spin it like Ji Jianing was mourning overnight, licking her wounds or something, finally returning to public sight after giving up. That’s going to earn her both popularity and sympathy.”
Tian Miaomiao gaped as she listened, and applauded when Ji Weixi finished. “Xixi, it’s a waste for you to not be in PR. You’re in the wrong line of work.”
“Why, thank you.” Ji Weixi smiled humbly. “Ji Jianing is using the pure, kind character as her image, so I’m guessing she would make every headline in the next few days.”
In fact, she could imagine the scenes.
A worn-out Ji Jianing spotted in airport after public split with President of CBS International.
Pale-white and with dark circles under her eyes, Ji Jianing making first public appearance since the annulled engagement.
First love Heartbreak: Ji Jianing dumped even before marrying into the Li Family.
In fact, Ji Weixi started to giggle even as she imagined away.
When the news is announced, Li Shaoling would probably be labeled a major scumbag throughout the internet.
And there was definitive proof.
