The super rich starts with the self-discipline challenge

Chapter 138 Mask of Pain
"…Who are you looking for?"

Ruan Xi was holding a stainless steel thermos in her hand. When she saw that the person who opened the door was a confused stranger, she was stunned at first. She looked past the man and looked inside, and saw Zhong Yun lying on the sofa.

She visibly breathed a sigh of relief, quietly took a half step back, stretched out her finger and pointed inside.

The man subconsciously turned around, looked at Zhong Yun who was sitting inside, pointed at him and asked, "You, looking for him?"

Ruan Xi nodded and waited for a few seconds. Seeing that the other party had no intention of moving aside, she thought, this person is so weird.

She could only say, "Can you please make way?"

"Ah, sorry."

The man then stepped aside and let her into the house.

She walked over to the sofa, put the thermos on the coffee table, and said, "I made some chicken soup tonight and brought some up for you. Try it."

"No need...A-choo!"

As soon as Zhong Yun spoke, he couldn't help but sneeze several times in a row, and his nose started to run.

Ruan Xi quickly took out a few tissues and handed them over.

He blew his nose, rubbed it and said, "Don't bother, just leave it there, I'll drink it later."

"Did you catch a cold?"

Ruan Xi saw that she was not in a good state and her voice was hoarse. Her face was full of worry. She reached out and touched his forehead. It was not hot, so he should not have a fever. She said, "Maybe you caught a cold. I'll make you some ginger soup."

With that, she stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Zhong Yun sat up and said to the kitchen, "Don't bother, I'll just drink some cold syrup. Besides, I don't have any at home..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Ruan Xi take out a piece of old ginger from the refrigerator.

He was stunned for a moment, thinking, when did I buy it? How come I don’t know?
Then, I saw her take out a paring knife and a pot that I had never seen before, and started to get busy.

Zhong Yun was stunned and suddenly felt that the kitchen at home was unfamiliar to him.

"who is she?"

At this time, Gao Yutao, who had been watching coldly, sat down next to him, looked at him dangerously, and put his hand on his shoulder, "You are willing to do this to such a small child?"

"..."

Zhong Yun almost forgot that this guy was here too.

"What are you thinking? She is Xiaoyue's classmate and lives downstairs."

When he said this, his confidence was somewhat lacking.

Gao Yutao sneered, "Do you think I'm blind? If she didn't like you, I would have eaten this sofa."

"You are so good, Zhong Yun. Why didn't I see that you are so philandering before? It's not enough that you have Meng Jiaen. Now you even don't let go of your niece's classmates. Are you still human?"

"Are you worthy of President Xia?"

The last sentence is your key, right?

Zhong Yun had a headache to begin with, and now it hurt even more. He said, "Whether you believe it or not, President Xia and I are not a couple at all. Meng Jiaen and I are just friends. She is just my neighbor."

Gao Yutao stared at him blankly, as if he didn't know him. After a long while, he said, "Sure enough, scumbags are different. They even deceive themselves. When you say this, touch your own conscience. Doesn't it hurt?"

He said bitterly, "I used to speak well of you in front of Zhu Tongtong and Xu Mingyue, but who knew that you were such a scumbag..."

"stop!"

Zhong Yun was unhappy when he heard this, "What does this have to do with them?"

Gao Yutao advised earnestly, "Brother, stop it before President Xia finds out. Otherwise, if President Xia gets angry, we will all be in big trouble."

Zhong Yun was wearing a mask of pain.

My head must have been caught in the door, I actually became friends with this guy.

……

After a while, Ruan Xi came out of the kitchen with a bowl of ginger soup in her hand. She put it on the coffee table and said to Zhong Yun, "Drink it while it's hot. If you sweat a little, you will feel much better."

Zhong Yun propped himself up and sat up, saying, "Thank you."

"Also, don't go running tomorrow. Get more rest."

"it is good."

"Then, I'll go back first."

Ruan Xi felt a little uncomfortable with the presence of outsiders, so she didn't stay any longer and said goodbye.

After she left, Gao Yutao looked at the bowl of ginger soup on the table and said with a painful face, "It's really unfair. How could a scumbag who has multiple girlfriends at the same time cheat on such a good girl? I am such a sincere and loyal man, but I only meet gold diggers."

"Oh my God, you have no eyes."

Zhong Yun lay there, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Gao Yutao came over and said, "Brother, why don't you ask her if there are any other single sisters who can introduce me to someone else. I also want a girlfriend who can care for me when I have a cold..."

"roll!"

Zhong Yun shook off his hand, sat up, picked up the bowl of ginger soup, and drank it in small sips.

This ginger soup is not only spicy but also a little sweet, probably because of the brown sugar.

He thought to himself, when did my family have brown sugar?
After drinking a bowl of ginger soup, my stomach felt warm, I started sweating a little, and I felt a little better.

At this time, there was another knock on the door.

This time it should be He Ziqian.

Zhong Yun reminded, "Don't talk nonsense in front of Qianzi." Gao Yutao said with an unhappy look, "You dare to do it but you are afraid of what others say."

Then go over and open the door.

It was indeed He Ziqian, holding a bag in his hand. He said, "I caught a few fish today and asked my girlfriend to fry them. I brought them here for you to try."

Gao Yutao teased, "You are still a fisherman. You haven't even gotten married yet. Does your girlfriend have any objections?"

"I used to have a lot of disagreements, but now thanks to Yun Ge's girlfriend, she has given me a promotion and a raise, and my girlfriend has become more gentle."

"So you knew he had a girlfriend, but you kept it from me. That's really unkind of you."

He Ziqian's scalp tingled. "I thought you knew it a long time ago. Look at my mouth. I said I would keep it a secret. This..."

He originally thought that, given their relationship, they must have known about it long ago. Who knew that Zhong Yun did such a good job of keeping it secret?

"However, they are in the same company and his girlfriend is a leader. It must be kept secret. If it gets out, people will gossip about it."

"That's right……"

Seeing that the two of them were still communicating, Zhong Yun couldn't help but look up at the sky.

They were not chatting with the same person, but they were able to have a smooth conversation. They are truly talented.

Gao Yutao thought his girlfriend was President Xia.

He Ziqian thought that Meng Jiaen was his girlfriend.

So, the two men who had just been promoted sat on the sofa in his house, talking about their ideals in life with high spirits and drinking bottle after bottle of beer.

Later, Zhong Yun came back from a shower, feeling refreshed and ate something.

You know what, the fish you catch yourself are so fresh.

……

The next day, when Zhong Yun woke up, he found that the living room had been cleaned and the garbage had been taken away. This time, the two guys finally behaved like human beings.

Last night, he went back to his room to sleep first. I don't know when the two of them left.

After washing up, he was about to go out. When he opened the door, he found Ruan Xi standing outside. He asked curiously, "Why don't you come in?"

She took out something hidden behind her and handed it to him. "I made some egg and sugar water. My mother always made this for me when I caught a cold. It was very effective."

Zhong Yun noticed a wound on her left middle finger at a glance, so he pulled her into the house and let her sit on the sofa.

He took out a small medicine box from under the coffee table, opened it, and found a lot of medicine inside. He was even more surprised. He remembered that there was a pack of hemostatic patches, cold granules, and ibuprofen in the medicine box.

Why are there suddenly so many more?
For reducing fever, there are Xiao Chaihu, Baoji Pills...even Yunnan Baiyao.

I'm not suffering from Alzheimer's, am I?

Zhong Yun had this suspicion for a moment, and after searching for a while, he couldn't find any hemostatic patch.

Suddenly, Ruan Xi pointed to the table and said, "That's the box."

Zhong Yun took a look and found that it was indeed a box of hemostatic patches. No, who would buy a whole box for home use?
He opened the package and found many small boxes inside, and each small box contained many tablets.

He took out a hemostatic patch and carefully applied it to the wound on her finger.

After Zhong Yun bandaged her wound, he said, "Actually, you didn't have to do this for me, and you cut your hand. I'll just take some medicine and I'll be fine."

Ruan Xi's eyes dimmed and she lowered her head, "I'm sorry."

Zhong Yun was so confused that he didn't know what to say next.

He felt that if he said anything more, it would be unforgivable.

He felt a little regretful. Why did he have to say such things?

Zhong Yun frantically racked his brains, trying to divert her attention, "Um, you bought all these medicines, right?"

Ruan Xi lowered her head even lower.

He said softly, "You are the first person besides my mother who cares about me so much."

Just then, his cell phone rang.

This call came at the right time.

Thank goodness.

Zhong Yun took out his phone and answered it. "Are you feeling better from your cold? Or you can take a day off. I sent you so many messages last night, why didn't you reply? I'll go to your house later and take you to the hospital..."

On the other end of the phone, Meng Jiaen spoke very loudly, like a machine gun, without any pause.

Zhong Yun subconsciously glanced at Ruan Xi next to him, stood up, walked to the balcony, and said, "I'm almost well. I'll go out now to pick up President Xia... I went to bed early last night... I'm fine. Okay, see you at the company later."

He hung up the phone, looked back, and saw Ruan Xi tidying up the medicine box and putting all the medicines on the table back.

He put his phone back in his pocket, walked over, took the thermos, unscrewed the lid, and said, "I'm hungry too, let me try it."

He picked up the spoon beside him, took a bite, and praised, "Mm, delicious."

He started eating with big mouthfuls. After he finished half the pot of egg and sugar water, he didn't need to eat breakfast anymore.

At this time, Ruan Xi suddenly asked, "Is that your girlfriend?"

This sudden question choked Zhong Yun, and he started coughing violently, "Cough cough cough..."

Oh no, she must have heard what Meng Jiaen said on the phone just now.
