Chapter 102: Cry for You to Hear
When the emergency room door opened, it was already the latter half of the night.
The doctor removed his mask: “The surgery was successful. She’s temporarily out of danger.”
Afterward, Duan Zhixi was sent to the ICU.
“I’ll go back first,” Jiang Su checked the time; it was almost 1 AM.
Standing at the ICU door looking at Huo Qing Yan, who turned his head upon hearing this: “I’ll see you off.”
Huo Qing Yan had recovered somewhat, but his usual composure was gone, replaced by visible fragility and fatigue.
Jiang Su originally wanted to say no, but looking at Huo Qing Yan like this, she couldn’t say it.
The late-night streets were quiet.
Occasionally, a few cars sped past.
Jiang Su looked up at the dark sky and said thoughtfully: “In a few hours, it will be dawn.”
Huo Qing Yan responded without hesitation, hailing a taxi for her.
Jiang Su turned to him: “Everything will slowly get better.”
Huo Qing Yan didn’t know if he had heard her words, but he smiled, his expression appearing more relaxed: “Let me know when you get home.”
Jiang Su paused: “Okay.”
She got into the car, and after the car started, she turned to see Huo Qing Yan still standing there.
But soon, she couldn’t see Huo Qing Yan’s face clearly anymore, only a blurry shadow, which eventually melted into the night.
…
Jiang Su slept for a long time, but not very soundly.
She woke up near noon.
After ordering takeout, she got out of bed to go to the bathroom.
While brushing her teeth, Shen Xiu Mo’s call came in.
The show was being recorded tonight; why was he calling her now?
“Hello?” Jiang Su had foam in her mouth, so her speech was somewhat slurred.
Shen Xiu Mo started by asking: “Do you know why Huo Qing Yan suddenly wants to withdraw from the show? How could he just quit like that?”
Jiang Su spat out the foam and adjusted her bangs in the mirror: “I asked him to withdraw.”
Listen to that confident and unrepentant tone!!
But Shen Xiu Mo couldn’t get angry.
Jiang Su and Huo Qing Yan, these two were incredibly difficult to deal with.
Getting angry wouldn’t help.
The penalty clause couldn’t restrain Huo Qing Yan, especially since Huo Qing Yan was the show’s golden goose.
Shen Xiu Mo dejectedly asked: “Then… what about the show?”
The previous episode had unexpectedly high ratings due to Huo Qing Yan’s sudden appearance.
This episode, with Huo Qing Yan’s withdrawal, would definitely lose a large number of viewers. Shen Xiu Mo couldn’t bear the injustice.
“Can you not let Huo Qing Yan withdraw?” Shen Xiu Mo’s tone sounded pathetic.
Jiang Su replied coldly: “No.”
Huo Qing Yan’s mother was still in the ICU. Even if she hadn’t asked Huo Qing Yan to withdraw, he wouldn’t be able to participate in this episode’s recording.
“Seventh Young Master Jiang, please, help me think of a way. Otherwise, I’ll cry for you to…” Realizing Jiang Su couldn’t see his face, he changed his words: “…cry for you to hear.”
Jiang Su hung up directly.
Beep—
The busy tone of the call being disconnected sounded from the phone.
Shen Xiu Mo: …
He felt Jiang Su had learned bad habits from Huo Qing Yan. He didn’t learn anything else, just cold-bloodedness.
Shen Xiu Mo pitifully called the cold-blooded Jiang Su again.
As soon as the call was connected, he heard Jiang Su say: “Go on the show yourself.”
Shen Xiu Mo didn’t react immediately: “What?”
The next second, he said: “But I’m not divorced?”
Jiang Su mocked him: “As long as the ratings are high, do the show’s rules matter?”
What principles did Shen Xiu Mo have?
He just wanted the show to be a hit.
As a shrewd businessman, Shen Xiu Mo was tempted.
Shen Xiu Mo didn’t immediately refute, so Jiang Su guessed he was tempted.
She continued to persuade Shen Xiu Mo: “Just reveal your own love life on the show, and won’t the show’s effect be amazing?”
Shen Xiu Mo was still hesitant: “But…”
Jiang Su used her killer blow: “Maybe you appearing on the show yourself will have even higher ratings than Huo Qing Yan’s episode!”
Higher ratings than Huo Qing Yan’s episode!!
Shen Xiu Mo was completely persuaded: “I think what you said makes sense. I’ll consider it.”
…
In the afternoon, the official Weibo account of 《Divorce, Are You Happy?》announced Huo Qing Yan’s withdrawal from the show.
The netizens’ acceptance was much better than expected.
【Although it’s a pity that he withdrew, it’s understandable. After all, he’s a big CEO; he doesn’t have that much time for these shows…】
【Understandable. Business tycoons should focus on their careers!】
【I just want to know who the new guest is?】
【This show even invited Huo Qing Yan, raising the audience’s expectations. If the new guest’s status isn’t high enough, I’m afraid everyone won’t accept it.】
The official Weibo account replied to this comment: “Don’t worry, everyone. The new guest will definitely satisfy everyone.”
Netizen replied: “I don’t believe it. Can there be anyone more surprising than Huo Qing Yan?”
Afterward, the official Weibo account posted another Weibo.
Divorce, Are You Happy? V: “New rules, new guest, new episode. Tonight at 8, see you there.”
Netizens:
【Hahaha, what the heck? Does this mean the rules have been changed for the new guest?】
【Starting to look forward to tonight’s new guest.】
【I’ll be sitting in front of my phone with a small stool right now!!】
【Same, waiting with a small stool…】
After dinner, Jiang Su went to the recording location with Xu Mo Cun.
Halfway there, Jiang Su received a call from Tang Juan Zi.
Jiang Su didn’t have Tang Juan Zi’s number saved; at first, she only thought the number looked familiar.
“Jiang Su, it’s Tang Juan Zi.” Tang Juan Zi’s voice was as gentle as it could be.
Jiang Su got goosebumps: “Speak normally.”
Tang Juan Zi coughed lightly, and when she spoke again, her voice sounded normal: “I heard that this episode will invite audience members to the scene, and will randomly select audience members to ask questions and interact with the guests.”
Jiang Su: … He wanted to swear.
Shen Xiu Mo was ruthless.
“I just heard about it too. I’m telling you so you can be mentally prepared.”
“Thank you.”
Tang Juan Zi said with a smile: “No need to be so polite…”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Mo Cun asked him: “Who was that?”
“Tang Juan Zi.” Jiang Su said softly: “She said that this episode will have audience members at the recording and a segment where randomly selected audience members can ask questions to the guests.”
Xu Mo Cun was also shocked: “I didn’t hear a single rumor about this beforehand! Are the people from this production team from a psychiatric hospital!”
Mentioning psychiatric hospitals, Jiang Su thought of Duan Zhixi again.
Jiang Su thought for a moment, opened WeChat, and sent a message to Zhou Fu: “Is Huo Qing Yan’s mother awake?”
Zhou Fu quickly replied: “She woke up once in the middle, then fell back asleep.”
Jiang Su started typing again: 【How is Huo Qing Yan?】
