Chapter 46 - 46 Shen Hanyu's Hallucination
46 Shen Hanyu’s Hallucination
“Doctor Sang.”
The nurse hurriedly caught up to Sang Qianqian, who was making a phone call in the hospital corridor. “The patient in bed 8 has just woken up.”
Sang Qianqian nodded and said to the other end of the phone, “Enough, Wen Xu. I still have things to do here. Banxi Restaurant, 12:30. You just need to be there on time.”
Sang Qianqian hung up the phone and followed the nurse to bed 8. After carefully checking on the patient’s recovery and giving his family some instructions, she returned to the office.
She had worked overtime last night and had gotten up late this morning. Additionally, she didn’t have time to eat breakfast and had been busy since 8 in the morning. Due to this, Sang Qianqian was so hungry that she felt a little dizzy.
Fortunately, there was a bag of biscuits in the drawer, which could be used to satisfy her hunger.
“Qianqian, it’s time to eat. Why are you eating biscuits?”
Her colleague, Yin Jinhui, came out after changing her clothes. She came over to greet her. “Let’s go and have lunch together. Da Wu and the others went to the cafeteria to reserve seats for us.”
“I won’t be eating with you guys today.”
Sang Qianqian ate a few biscuits and felt much better. “Two of my friends came to look for me and asked me out for dinner.”
As she spoke, she pointed to the Director’s office, where the faint sound of opera could be heard. She whispered, “Why is Director Xue not eating and listening to Beijing Opera instead?”
Usually, Director Xue was the most enthusiastic about eating, but now, he said that he was old and couldn’t go hungry.
“Director Xue ordered takeaway today, and he has already finished it.”
Yin Jinhui looked back at the Director’s office and said, “I heard that there was a Big Boss in the business world who came from another city to see Director Xue. It seems that his flight was delayed, so he’s late. The Director is still waiting for him.”
Sang Qianqian simply replied with an ‘Oh’, not thinking that this was anything out of the ordinary.
There were many people who came to see Director Xue.
The words “Big Boss in the business world” didn’t attract her much. After all, her father and brother were also big figures in the business world.
When Sang Qianqian came out after changing her clothes, Yin Jinhui had already left.
Beijing Opera was still playing in the Director’s office.
It was obvious that the ‘Big Boss’ still hadn’t arrived.
Seeing that it was about time, Sang Qianqian packed her things and went downstairs. Before she even stepped out of the hospital, she received a call from Wen Xu.
“Sister, what kind of lousy place did your friend book? It’s hard to even find a parking space in this Banxi Restaurant!”
Wen Xu complained, “I’ve been driving around for more than ten minutes, and I can’t find a place to park.”
“Go around more until you find one.”
Sang Qianqian didn’t stop walking. “This restaurant has the most authentic food. Yunli wants you to try the local specialties.”
“I’ve been to Yuecheng so many times. Why do I need her to let me taste the special dishes?”
Wen Xu wasn’t in a good mood. “I’m really not interested in blind dates. I’m not interested in that friend of yours, either. If you didn’t insist on me coming to see her, I wouldn’t have come!”
“Alright, alright, it’s my fault, okay? Don’t be angry, hurry up and drive around. Maybe you’ll find a parking space.”
Sang Qianqian consoled him and said seriously, “Let me tell you, Yunli has been hearing me talk about you all day long. Therefore, she has wanted to see you for a long time. Give her some face and don’t pull a sour expression later.”

Guo Muyang and Shen Hanyu were walking toward the hospital building. As they walked, Guo Muyang introduced Doctor Xue Chenghua to Shen Hanyu.
“My father’s friend said that Dr. Xue’s family is from a family of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners. Later on, he studied Western medicine. He is very good at combining Western and Eastern medicine to treat headaches.”
Shen Hanyu’s reaction was very calm, and he didn’t comment.
If Guo Muyang’s father hadn’t asked his friends to find out who this person was, Shen Hanyu wouldn’t have been willing to make this trip.
He had seen many doctors in the past few years, but none of them had been able to cure his headache.
Moreover, it had been five years, and he had long gotten used to the existence of this illness.
It was just a little uncomfortable when it acted up, and he slept less than others.
Other than that, he didn’t care whether he could be cured or not.
“I’ve looked up Doctor Xue’s information on the internet, and he’s really amazing. He has so many titles…”
Guo Muyang continued to introduce the doctor, and Shen Hanyu listened to him indifferently.
“Alright, alright, it’s my fault, okay? Don’t…”
A girl’s voice could be heard faintly, but it was fleeting. Shen Hanyu suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He subconsciously looked to the other side. There was a dense wall of roses with branches and leaves, and he could only see a figure hurriedly passing by.
Shen Hanyu ran around the flower wall and saw the moonflowers swaying in the wind. The girl was nowhere to be seen.
“What’s wrong, Hanyu?” Guo Muyang chased after him. “Why did you suddenly run so fast?”
He looked in the direction that Shen Hanyu was looking, but there was no one there. “What’s going on?”
Shen Hanyu looked away and said, “It’s nothing.”
The voice and the figure just now were probably a hallucination.
Or perhaps, it was just a coincidence that a girl passing by had a similar voice to her.
She had been dead for five years. How would it be possible? How could she appear in a hospital in Yuecheng?

In Banxi Restaurant’s parking lot, Wen Xu circled around for about twenty minutes before he finally found a parking space.
Just as he was about to stop the car, his phone rang. It was his father.
“Where did you go? I couldn’t find you.”
His father was obviously a little annoyed. “Wen Xu, I’m telling you, you’re not in school now. You can no longer do whatever you want. You’re now the Vice President of Zhongwen Film and Television group, and you have the company’s responsibility!”
“I’m under a lot of pressure at work, so I came out to relax.” Wen Xu grinned cheekily. “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll be back tomorrow night.”
“What do you mean by ‘stressed at work’? You’re stressed about that little thing of yours? Wen Xu, if you don’t want to do it, just say it. There are so many people fighting for the position of Vice President!”
His father said angrily, “I’ll give you a deadline tonight. You must come back! Otherwise, you don’t need to keep your position as the Vice President. You can do whatever you want in the future, I won’t be bothered with you!”
Wen Xu’s ears hurt from his father’s yelling. He threw his phone on the passenger seat gloomily and was just about to start the car and stop.
A small, Mini Cooper dashed past his car and into the parking lot.
Wen Xu was unhappy. He got out of the car with a sullen face and knocked on the other party’s car window. “What are you doing? Can’t you see I’m parking the car?”
The other party rolled down the car window, revealing a pretty face with exquisite makeup. “You’ve been dawdling in front of this parking space for so long and didn’t park. I thought you didn’t want to.”
“Who says I won’t park?” Wen Xu said coldly.
The girl came to a sudden realization. “So it’s not that you don’t want to stop, but your driving skills are too bad and you can’t park your car?”
Wen Xu’s face darkened. “Who are you calling bad at driving? You’re the one who didn’t follow the rules and snatched the seat first, alright? Hurry up and get out of my way!”
He was a master of mountain racing when he was studying abroad, and this woman dared to say that his driving skills were bad. This was simply intolerable!
