In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 236: Tuantuan Fights
Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Tuantuan Fights
"What exactly do you want to say? Hurry up, I have a social engagement at noon." Xu Zhen said impatiently.
Xu Jinzhi had no choice but to get straight to the point first.
After Xu Jinzhi was done speaking and thinking about Xu Zhen having a social engagement at noon, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but advise, "Don’t drink at the social engagement, your throat isn’t comfortable. You’ve dragged this on for so long."
"I know." Xu Zhen was impatient but still agreed.
There was nothing else Xu Jinzhi wanted to say. She turned around and started to walk out of the office, but after just two steps, Xu Zhen suddenly called her back.
"Is there something else?" Xu Jinzhi stopped and turned to look at Xu Zhen.
Xu Zhen was also looking at Xu Jinzhi, his expression slightly serious, which made Xu Jinzhi feel inexplicably restless.
However, before Xu Jinzhi could feel restless for too long, Xu Zhen suddenly asked, "Don’t you find it tiring to work day after day like this?"
"Ah?" Xu Jinzhi was perplexed. "What do you mean by that?"
Xu Zhen continued, "Even if you stopped working right now, you would have enough money to splurge for a lifetime. So, now that you are still working day after day, spending most of your time at work, don’t you find it tiring?"
Hearing these bizarre words, Xu Jinzhi’s confusion deepened. "What do you actually mean?"
Xu Zhen’s lips moved slightly, but he couldn’t say anything for a moment. Finally, unable to restrain himself, he clicked his tongue and said somewhat irritably, "Never mind, you can go."
Xu Jinzhi was still frowning, looking at her father, not understanding at all what he meant by those sudden words.
After staring at Xu Zhen in silence for a few moments and seeing that he had started to busily engage in his own affairs, Xu Jinzhi hesitantly asked, "Is there nothing else?"
"There’s nothing else, hurry up and leave!" Xu Zhen said without looking up.
As Xu Jinzhi walked out of the office and on her way back to her own, she kept wondering why Xu Zhen was acting so bizarrely.
It wasn’t until Xu Jinzhi had sat down in her own office that she suddenly remembered, in her previous life, Xu Zhen had asked a similar question.
At that time, Xie Yanchuan was no longer around, and she was taking care of two children by herself, while also juggling work and Xu Zhen.
Back then, her elderly father had asked her if she felt tired?
Indeed, they were already very wealthy, enough that they could live comfortably for a lifetime.
And it wasn’t as if he was telling her to stop working entirely, just to no longer take the helm of the Xu Group, to let go and let others manage, and they could be like other shareholders, simply collecting dividends annually.
However, back then, she had declined Xu Zhen.
She was indeed very tired, but she wouldn’t let go of what belonged to her to someone else!
So, was her elderly father asking her the same thing now?
Xu Jinzhi was somewhat astonished—why would Xu Zhen suddenly have such a thought?
The current situation was entirely different from her last life!
In this life—
Xu Jinzhi paused abruptly, her heart surging with a few strange emotions.
If possible, this might actually be a good choice.
After all, having lived two lifetimes, the glory of fame wasn’t essential for him to grasp any longer.
Moreover, even if they stepped back, they still had enough wealth to live without worries.
In the previous life, Tuantuan took over the Xie Group, and Sui Sui took over the Xu Group. Sui Sui quite liked it, but Tuantuan did not enjoy that kind of life.
Tuantuan didn’t want her to have such a hard life; he wanted to have enough ability to protect her, which was why he took over the Xie Family.
Thinking about this, Xu Jinzhi’s mood became somewhat complicated.
However, Xu Jinzhi didn’t have time to feel complicated for long. In the afternoon, he suddenly received a phone call from Tuantuan’s kindergarten teacher, reporting that Tuantuan had gotten into a fight at school!
Tuantuan was now injured and had been taken to the hospital; Xu Jinzhi was urged to hurry over.
Xu Jinzhi was stunned; he couldn’t imagine Tuantuan getting into a fight at kindergarten.
He didn’t care what he was doing or what work he had next; he rushed out of the company.
During his way there, Xu Jinzhi called Xie Yanchuan.
She didn’t know what condition Tuantuan was in or if she could handle it well, but that didn’t matter. Tuantuan was in trouble, and it was natural to inform his dad.
Xie Yanchuan was also very shocked when he received the call; he couldn’t imagine Tuantuan fighting either.
After all, their Tuantuan had always been very well-behaved, even unwilling to talk much with others, let alone fight.
But no matter how unbelievable it was, the teacher had notified them that Tuantuan had gotten into a fight with another child and had been injured and taken to the hospital.
So, they could only rush over immediately.
It wasn’t rush hour, yet the city center always had heavy traffic; Xu Jinzhi took nearly half an hour to arrive at the hospital.
Also, not knowing exactly where they were, Xu Jinzhi even went to the wrong floor and had to turn back.
When Xu Jinzhi arrived, he saw Teacher Xiao Huang from afar, along with Tuantuan behind him, and a woman and a child opposite them.
As he approached, Xu Jinzhi heard the woman furiously shouting,"You let my son end up like this! This matter isn’t over today!"
"Mrs. Liu Heng, please calm down. I’ve already explained the cause of the incident to you clearly..."
"I don’t care what caused it! My son is injured!"
The woman angrily interrupted Teacher Xiao Huang before she could finish.
Just when Teacher Xiao Huang was at a loss, seeing Xu Jinzhi hurriedly approaching, she looked relieved, "Mrs. Xie Zhihuai!"
Hearing Teacher Xiao Huang’s voice, the woman instinctively turned her head and looked over. Seeing Xu Jinzhi clearly, the fury in her eyes intensified.
Xu Jinzhi ran over, not taking time to deal with the woman. She first greeted, "Hello, Teacher," and then turned her gaze to Tuantuan.
"Tuantuan, how are you?" Xu Jinzhi’s breath was uneven, but she couldn’t care less, her face full of concern as she looked at Tuantuan.
Since the incident, Tuantuan had not spoken a word, even when he was injured or scolded just now, he didn’t cry.
But now, seeing his mom, he couldn’t hold back anymore, and his eyes reddened as he cried out, "Mom."
The next moment, Tuantuan started crying loudly, holding tightly onto Xu Jinzhi’s neck, seemingly extremely aggrieved.
"Don’t be scared, Tuantuan, Mom is here!" Xu Jinzhi didn’t know exactly what had happened, but for now, she could only console Tuantuan.
