Chapter 18: Phone Call

With trembling hands, Ning Qiu Tong took hold of the pill bottle.

This was a very normal plastic bottle. It was like those kind of pill bottles that could be found in a household, which contained a few essential medicines.

"The medicine pill…"

No matter how hard she tried, she was not able to control her trembling hands.

When she opened the lid and glanced at the pill within the bottle, she smelled a refres.h.i.+ng scent.

Suddenly, the scenes of her arguing with Chen Xi flashed past her eyes, she could not help but murmured to herself, "Swindler…"

"Qiu Tong? What happen to you?"

Ning Zhong Guo was severely frightened when he saw his daughter's abnormal actions. He immediately turned to his side, wanting to see what his daughter was doing on the floor.

However, his movement affected the injury, causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Ning Qiu Tong was startled by her father's actions as she immediately stood up and took out the pill.

"Dad, the medicine is here. Hurry and take it."

Looking at his daughter's silly appearance, an unfathomable feeling of sorrow surfaced in his heart.

If he could not survive today, how much would it affect his daughter?

Based on her current actions, what's the difference between her and a lunatic?

Thinking up till here, Ning Zhong Guo gave a bitter laugh and under his daughter's look of antic.i.p.ation, he swallowed the pill.

As long as he could set her mind at ease, he would even swallow white a.r.s.enic.

What he did not expect was when he swallowed the pill, a refres.h.i.+ng feeling emerged in his body as it flowed to all parts of his body.

Silently feeling this similar sensation, Ning Zhong Guo became quite agitated all of a sudden.

This sensation is very familiar!

Three years ago, he also felt this sensation when he swallowed the Life Prolonging pill…

"Qiu Tong, where did you get this pill from?"

Ning Zhong Guo grabbed Ning Qiu Tong's arm as he nervously and agitatedly asked.

"There's an effect?"

"En, it has the same sensation as the Life Prolonging pill I consumed three years ago."

Ning Qiu Tong looked at her father in surprise. Upon seeing her father's serious nod, she emotionally exclaimed, "The pill that the swindler left behind is real…"

After that, she went into a daze.

Swindler…

That swindler that stated that he could save his father, was chased away by her just like that!

At this moment, Ning Qiu Tong was angry and anxious at the same time.

She hates herself so much, why can't she just slightly trust that guy?

Even if it's just a little, then her father will not have to suffer now!

No!

I have to find him back and apologize to him face to face!

Ning Qiu Tong immediately looked at Ning Zhong Guo and said, "Dad, I will invite him back. Wait here for me."

She then took his phone and prepared to exit the ward.

At the same time, professor Xie brought along a group of people as he hurriedly pushed open the door.

"What's the situation now? How is Mr Ning?"

From the moment when Ning Zhong Guo puked blood to the moment when Ning Qiu Tong gave him the pill, the entire process lasted not more than five minutes.

Hence, when professor Xie received the news and rushed here, Ning Qiu Tong was also about to exit the ward.

"Qing Xue, you explain the situation to professor Xie. I have something that I must settle now."

After saying that, she could not be bothered about Ning Qing Xue's stunned appearance and directly rushed out of the ward.

She hurriedly browse through Ning Zhong Guo's phone.

Finally, she found the number that was most recently contacted.

She nervously took in a deep breath and courageously dialed that number.

"Du, du, du…"

The call was connected, however, the other party did not pick up the phone.

Listening to the ringtone of the call, her heart almost leaped to her throat.

However, what she did not expect was after a few rings, the other party hanged up on her.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is engaged at the moment. Please try again later…"

Listening to the machine generated voice, Ning Qiu Tong refused to give up and continue calling.

However, after a few tries, the beeping sound suddenly changed.

"Sorry, the number dialed is not available…"

…

"Lunatic."

Chen Xi speechlessly looked at the caller's name and rejected the call after that.

When he left yesterday, he had long predicted that Ning Zhong Guo would call him again.

However, he did not expect that he would call so soon.

They fall out with him yesterday and just today, they shamelessly called him. They can only last for a day?

What have they long been doing?

Chen Xi was still quite indignant about it.

Initially, you wanted to separate. Fine, so be it. Now you use true love to coax me…

Pei!

The phone continuously rang while Chen Xi continuously hanged up.

However, the other party still relentlessly called him. Hence, he simply powered off his phone.

Anyways, he only has two contacts. He estimated that Lin Xuan would not call him for now, hence, he decided to power off to get a moment of peace.

Casually throwing his phone to the side, Chen Xi put on a smiling face and carried his daughter onto his lap.

Stroking her small cheek, Chen Xi smiled and asked, "Nian Nian, papa will now teach you the Three Character Cla.s.sic, okay?"

'Okay."

The little kiddo sweetly said.

"Nian Nian is so well-behaved."

Chen Xi happily taught his daughter how to read the Three Character Cla.s.sic.

While watching the television programmes, aunty Zhang listened to the father and daughter, her face was filled with a gratified smile.

Ever since Chen Xi came back, she definitely relaxed by quite a bit.

As for this house, it was finally like a home.

After reading for awhile, the two of them decided to take a break. As if the little kiddo suddenly thought of something, she asked in her childish tone, "Papa, other children have to go to nursery school. Why don't I have to go?"

"Ah?" Chen Xi was stunned.

To be honest, he temporarily did not consider this issue before.

Nian Nian was only four years old, she could only attend the middle grade even if she attended nursery school.

Initially, Chen Xi decided to send her to nursery school to attend the upper grade when she was five years old. In this way, it would be much easier for her to adjust to the atmosphere in elementary school.

The nine years of compulsory education does not include nursery school. Most of the parents now do not have the time to take care of their children, hence, they would send their kids to the nursery school when they were only two, three years old.

However, this was not the case for Chen Xi.

He was an unemployed person. Moreover, he was not by the little kiddo's side for the past few years. Hence, all he could think of now was to accompany the little kiddo everyday.

After all, if circ.u.mstance allowed it, it was still better to take care of their own children.

Thinking up to here, Chen Xi looked down and asked the little kiddo, "Nian Nian, do you want to go to a nursery school?"

"En! Little Rain said that their nursery school is very fun!"

"Then, will you be scared when you go there?"

"No! Little Rain will be with me, I'm not scared."

Hearing that, Chen Xi rubbed his chin in confusion.

How come other children are afraid to go to nursery school but by child wants to go to nursery school?

There's something fishy…

However, since the little kiddo has already stated that she wanted to go to nursery school, as a father, he naturally could not reject it.

Hence, Chen Xi patted her small head and smiled, "Okay then. Papa will send you to the nursery school in a few days. Okay?"

"Yay! Papa is the best!"

The little kiddo then gave Chen Xi a big kiss on the cheek, instantly causing Chen Xi to laugh.

However, as he laughed, the laughter turned bitter.

The fee for the nursery school was not cheap.

As a father now, he has to put in more effort…

TN: When will Chen Xi forgive them? How will the meeting with his friends go? Which sc.u.mbag is gonna get beat up?
