Chapter 296: Chapter 269: Seeking Help
Qiao Yuxian and Chen Xi didn’t sit for long, just chatted casually.
Once the things Chen Xi ordered were ready, the two got up and left.
As they were about to reach the door, Chen Xi suddenly called out to Qiao Yuxian: "Senior."
Qiao Yuxian stopped and looked at her.
Chen Xi said, "Senior, you treated me to candied fruit last time; this time, I’ll treat you."
Qiao Yuxian glanced at the paper bag in her hand, then at her.
She felt Chen Xi was more nervous at that moment.
That kind of nervousness from the depths of her heart gave a sense of suffocation.
After a pause, Qiao Yuxian took it from her hand.
At the moment she took it, Chen Xi seemed to put down a heavy stone in her heart, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat blank.
"Thank you." Qiao Yuxian said.
Chen Xi shook her head: "You’re welcome."
"Then I’m leaving." Qiao Yuxian said.
"Okay, goodbye." Chen Xi said.
"Goodbye."
Qiao Yuxian left, while Chen Xi stood outside the shop, her hand in her pocket kept trembling. After a long time, she slowly calmed down, looked around, and walked towards her rented house.
Qiao Yuxian took a taxi back to Fenglin Villa.
When she arrived at Fenglin Villa, Gu Yanjing hadn’t returned yet.
Gu Yanjing had told her that he had a dinner engagement in the evening and would be back late.
Qiao Yuxian greeted Aunt Mei on the first floor, gave her the things she bought, and took the things Chen Xi gave her back to her room.
Chen Xi had given her a stick of strawberry candied fruit wrapped in a paper bag.
Qiao Yuxian tore open the paper bag, inside was a note.
Because it was next to the candied fruit, the note was stained with sugar.
Qiao Yuxian opened the note, it had a line written on it.
[Everything I posted online is true, I’m being completely monitored now, can you trust me and help me?]
Since Qiao Yuxian saw her last time, from her words, Qiao Yuxian sensed she wanted to seek help.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t understand why she would seek her help.
Yuan Wei had looked for Chen Xi but didn’t reveal any information about her.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t know why, under complete surveillance, she felt she could help her.
She looked at the note, after a while, took out her computer, and checked Chen Xi’s medical records at the Sixth Hospital.
Now she still goes to the Sixth Hospital twice a week.
But the diagnosis records and the prescriptions each time, Qiao Yuxian couldn’t really understand.
So she called Shen Wenyan.
The call was quickly answered, with a gentle voice: "What’s up? Anything wrong?"
Qiao Yuxian didn’t say much else, directly said, "Brother Wen Yan, can you help me with something?"
"Go ahead." Shen Wenyan quickly agreed.
"It might make things difficult for you, involving patient privacy." Qiao Yuxian said.
Shen Wenyan chuckled and said, "Tell me, let me hear how difficult it is."
Qiao Yuxian also laughed, explained the situation with Chen Xi briefly: "I want to confirm if her illness is real. She’s not your patient, would that be troublesome?"
"It’s okay." Shen Wenyan said warmly, "It’s not difficult."
"Really?" Qiao Yuxian said.
"Yes." Shen Wenyan said, "This is helping her, even saving her. Furthermore, if she doesn’t have mental health issues, continued treatment is actually bad for her. I can go talk with her attending physician tomorrow."
"Alright." Qiao Yuxian didn’t stand on ceremony, "Then you go ahead, let me know when you have news."
"Okay."
After hanging up the call, Qiao Yuxian looked at the note Chen Xi had written, placed the note in the drawer of the bedside table, and went downstairs for dinner...
