What... fooling around with men? "I didn't!" She definitely wasn't fooling around with men.
"If you weren't fooling around with men, how could you get into such a mess?" The person on the other end clearly didn't believe her. "My Cici has played with so many things, and the only thing you haven't played with is men. The only thing I can think of that would make you so flustered is fooling around with men."
"...Senior, when exactly can you come?" Su Ci forcefully brought the topic back on track.
"At the earliest, it will be tomorrow."
Tomorrow? Her grandmother couldn't wait that long.
"Was it the young master of the Song family who blocked you? The Song family has great influence in Yecheng. Except for... the Fu family. You can send your grandmother to the Fu's Medical Institution."
Su Ci didn't say anything.
"Cici, you're so smart. You must have thought of the Fu's Medical Institution already. You can go to Fu Nancheng, the person in charge of the Fu family. He's been looking for you to make perfumes, right? He will surely give you this favor."
Su Ci had already thought of Fu Nancheng earlier, but she didn't want to ask him for help.
"Cici, why aren't you talking? Could the man you're fooling around with be... this person in charge of the Fu family?"
"...Senior, I'm hanging up now!" Su Ci directly hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, Su Ci stayed by her grandmother's bedside. In fact, she had already thought of Fu Nancheng. He had a high position and great power in Yecheng, and he was the only one who could deal with Song Zilin. She should ask him for help.
However, subconsciously, she didn't want to beg him.
But her grandmother couldn't wait any longer. The oxygen tube had to be connected.
Su Ci hesitated for a moment, then found his phone number from the blacklist, unblocked it, and dialed the number.
The melodious ringtone of the phone was ringing. Su Ci was thinking about how to talk to him later. Should she say, "Your good brother Song Zilin hates me, this little country bumpkin, and told me not to seduce you anymore. He even pulled out my grandmother's oxygen tube and told me to get back to the countryside"?
At this moment, the phone was suddenly answered. Su Ci said, "Hello, Mr. Fu."
"Hello. May I ask who you are?" It wasn't Fu Nancheng's voice, but a very sweet female voice.
His phone was answered by a woman.
Su Ci was stunned. She didn't expect that he would bring a woman with him on a business trip.
"Hello, Mr. Fu is taking a shower inside. May I ask who you are?"
Su Ci directly hung up the phone.
Only then did she realize how inappropriate it was for her to call him. What was she to him? At most, she was just a bed partner, and maybe... one of his many bed partners.
For adults, the most important thing was a sense of propriety. One shouldn't cross the line easily. If she were to ask him for help now, did she know what she was willing to offer in return? Was she going to sleep with him again?
This matter involved his good brother. No matter how she put it, it would seem like she was complaining, and that wasn't appropriate. Moreover, he was Su Xue's husband. Didn't she feel ashamed to be entangled with a married man like this?
She had been a substitute so many times and had already given her body to him. She couldn't lose her heart as well.
At this moment, the phone suddenly lit up. Fu Nancheng was calling.
Was it him calling, or was it still that woman? Su Ci didn't answer.
The phone kept ringing, and he made several calls.
Su Ci still didn't answer.
Soon, there was a knock on the door, "DUDU". Someone was here.
Who was it? Su Ci went to open the door. Outside the door was a gentle-looking man in a suit.
"Miss Su, hello. The president sent me here. The president is on a business trip with Secretary Song. I'm the president's executive assistant. May I ask if you need any help, Miss Su?"
He actually sent someone over! The people around Fu Nancheng were extremely efficient. They probably had already understood the situation on the way. "Miss Su, don't worry. I'll arrange it immediately and send your grandmother to the Fu's Hospital."
...…
Half an hour later, her grandmother was admitted to a VIP ward, and the oxygen tube was connected again.
Looking at the white mist coming out of the oxygen tube and her grandmother's steady breathing, the tension in Su Ci's heart slowly eased.
"Miss Su, the president wants to have a video call with you. Please answer it."
