Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

Chapter 420: Brutally Honest Friend

Ye Jun was in a meeting when he received a call from his father called him. But he couldn't take the call. After the meeting ended, he found that his father left him a voice message. And as soon as he heard that Juan was in the hospital, he made his way to the hospital.

He found Jie in the hospital corridor. He was hugging Bao who seemed to be asleep while he leaned his head against the wall and had his eyes closed. He looked tired.

"Bro!" his voice was both sharp but laced with pain and displeasure that his brother didn't call him at all.

Jie's eyes instantly opened and he put his finger on his lips, telling him to keep it low since his son fell asleep after much difficulty. Ye Jun instantly lowered his voice and asked, "How is Juan?"

Jie sighed out, "She is finally responding to the treatment. Although her condition is better than before, the doctors aren't sure when she will wake up."

Ye Jun pressed his lips together as he sat beside his brother and asked, "You told dad but you didn't think about calling me?"

Before he could answer that, he heard Yang Ziyi's voice.

"Jie Ge!" she called out as soon as she came close.

Jie glanced at her before answering Ye Jun, "I wasn't gonna tell Father either. I was just on a call with him when I found out myself. So, I couldn't hide it from him."

Ye Jun snorted, "And if he wasn't on the call with you, you wouldn't even both telling anyone, eh?"

Jie didn't reply. He didn't want to reply actually. Because he didn't have an answer to that question. The one person he wanted to contact was not even interested in listening to him. So, what was the point in telling others?

"Why didn't you tell me? I was in the same hospital." Yang Ziyi also joined the conversation with a heavy expression.

"Why would I disturb your life?" Jie retorted plainly. "And aren't you a doctor? Most of the time you're already in surgeries. It's not like you could help her." He took a deep breath and added, "Besides, telling any of you would be pointless. You're all only gonna worry. What's the point?"

"Bro, how can you say that?" Ye Jun complained. "I'm still your brother."

"Did you tell Meymey?"

Hearing that question, Jie's expressions changed drastically. He glared at Wu Wang who asked this question but didn't answer. He didn't feel obligated to reply.

Yang Ziyi hit her husband's arm saying, "Is your Meymey most important right now? Go and wipe her tears! Get lost from here!"

"Ziyi," Wu Wang looked like he was bullied. "I just meant that as a mother, she needs to know about this, right?"

Yang Ziyi exhaled a long breath before pushing him away saying, "When she gets tired of throwing a tantrum like a kid and stops crying, do tell her that her daughter is struggling with life and death in the hospital. For now, get lost!"

From Yang Ziyi's anger, Wu Wang was certain, he won't be able to talk reason with her right now. She looked like a violent beast who only saw red at the moment. There had been plenty of times, he heard his wife pointing out Xu Mey's misconduct towards her husband and her kids, but he truly never thought there was anything wrong. Maybe he really saw things differently than her.

He was reluctant to leave but he had to tell Xu Mey about this as well. So, he decided to leave for now but didn't forget to say, "Keep me posted!"

Seeing his wife's glare, he left.

She turned around and asked another nurse to take care of her son. Then she came back and asked, "Jie Ge, what really happened between you and Xu Mey?"

Jie lowered his eyes and replied, "It's a family matter. I'd not like to discuss it with you. It doesn't mean I don't value you, I just think that the argument between me and my wife should stay between us. It's something personal. Very personal!"

Yang Ziyi felt helpless before him as she retorted, "Your wife is willing to cry to get attention for that argument. And you're not even telling me what's it all about?"

Jie's hand clenched until his knuckles turned white. Then he unclenched it with a deep breath and answered, "Maybe she feels the need to share it with everyone just like she likes to share everything. Even her love and time. But I can't do it. I don't want to."

These were the words that Jun Lina heard when she came here. From her place, she stared at Jie's lonely figure and truly felt pity for him.

"Brother-in-law, don't you know how to complain?" she asked.

Jie looked at her and frowned, he looked at his brother, "You even told her?"

Ye Jun smiled back, "She is my wife. Was I not supposed to tell her this?"

"You're really too good for your own self," said Jun Lina.

Jie smiled softly, "I also have a lot of shortcomings. I can't always put the blame on others. Maybe I also went wrong with this relationship."

"Your mistake?" she repeated with a scoff. "Then let me count your mistakes to your wife!"

She turned on her heels and was about to leave when Jie spoke up, "Don't let this issue ruin your friendship. Don't forget, first and foremost, she is your friend."

Jun Lina nodded, "You're right. First and foremost, I am her friend. And that's why I need to enlighten her with some brutal truth. Sometimes, it's good to have a brutally honest friend in the squad, can't have a squad full of sweet-talkers. Otherwise, how will she know where she went wrong?"

Jie rubbed his temple and said to Ye Jun, "Go, stop your wife!"

Ye Jun shook his head and stepped back saying, "Sorry, can't happen. My Lina is angry right now. I wouldn't want to mess with her right now. Even if you forget the uptight bodyguards around her, she is enough on her own to smash me."

"I always knew I liked this girl," said Yang Ziyi in admiration.

Jie rolled his eyes at her and said, "Your son is here to have lunch with his mom. Stop lurking around me. I'll tell you when Juan wakes up." Yang Ziyi made a face at him but still listened to him.
