This Girl Wins Three Hundred Million Dollars

Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Yu Feng's surgery went very smoothly. With the shortage of beds at Hua Xi Hospital, Yu Feng stayed for less than three days from admission check to surgery discharge. Afterwards, other than going for regular dressing changes and rehabilitation, he only needed to recuperate at home.

Since Uncle Zhang was very capable, Yu Shu accompanied him for a few days without even having a chance to lift a finger. In the last few days, Yu Shu stopped accompanying him and left everything to Uncle Zhang, even letting him drive the car.

She was busy expanding her connections and improving herself. Yi Manager introduced a batch of clients to her and she got to know many people. She also found Fatty's gym and signed up for personal training lessons to systematically lose weight and sculpt her figure. She went to the beauty salon on time as well. The beauty salon had newly opened an etiquette correction class that she also signed up for. From chiropractic to conventional etiquette, it was quite an ordeal. The chiropractic alone was overwhelming for her, but the results also amazed her.

After her scoliosis and anterior pelvic tilt issues were corrected, she grew two centimeters taller. On top of strict fitness training and diet, she had a qualitative leap in her figure and posture in just one month.

"An ordinary big beauty is about to evolve into a super big beauty~" Yu Shu stood in front of the full-length mirror, utterly unable to shift her gaze away.

Indeed, with a good figure, one looks good even in rags.

Just as Yu Shu was admiring her own graceful figure, she received a call from Uncle Wu—Yu Feng was goofing off again during rehabilitation at the hospital.

Yu Shu's good mood vanished instantly. She hailed a taxi and rushed straight to the hospital.

This was not the first time Yu Feng had thrown a tantrum. He had started rehabilitation on the third day after the surgery while the wound had yet to heal. He had to move the surrounding muscles to prevent adhesions, but the pain made him afraid to the point of crying, angering the rehabilitation doctor to no end. Only after she scolded him did he become a little more obedient.

Yet now, after just a short while, he was back to his old antics.

"Oh, taking a break?" Yu Shu walked into the ward, her tone unfriendly.

Yu Feng's hand paused as he was drinking tea and he forced an ingratiating smile. "The doctor said to take a rest. You're not busy today? How do you have time to come over?"

After greeting her, Uncle Zhang went out for a smoke.

Yu Shu pressed on his wound. The wound had basically healed but the surrounding muscles were still bruised. Pressing down hard still caused pain.

Yu Feng yelped in pain, "Stop stop stop! It hurts!"

The surgery was very successful but the postoperative recovery did not meet expectations.

"Not even when my mother gave birth to Yu Yang by C-section did she yell as loudly as you."

"How can you compare that? She was resting well during confinement! I had to start moving on the third day!"

Yu Shu rubbed her temple. She shouldn't have mentioned Ye Ping. She had witnessed it firsthand and still remembered it clearly to this day. After Yu Yang was born, Yu Feng had stayed home for a week. What confinement did Ye Ping have when she was dragging her unhealed wound to breastfeed, change diapers, and still take care of her? If her maternal aunt had not come to help out for a month, seeing that she couldn't stand it, Ye Ping's postpartum problems would have been even more severe.

Yu Feng was still softly arguing, "I can walk without crutches now. I just have a tiny limp."

"You call that tiny? Whether big or small, a limp is a limp. Your tiny limp still makes you lame!" Yu Shu's anger flared up and she no longer spoke politely. "Do you know how much money was spent and how many people went through trouble to treat your leg? You're pleased with yourself for not needing crutches?"

"Afraid of pain, afraid of tiredness, afraid of hardship—what are you not afraid of? Anyone can endure suffering, only you can't!" The more Yu Shu spoke, the angrier she got, with tears instantly flooding out as her momentum also weakened.

Yu Feng panicked at once and hurriedly coaxed her, promising repeatedly that he would listen to the doctor and properly do rehabilitation.

"I don't care if you do rehabilitation or not! Don't do it then, just stay lame! When we get home, let's divorce. I'll find a man with uncrippled legs for my mother to remarry!"

Yu Shu shook off his hand and left in a huff.

She always ended up crying whenever she quarreled with Yu Feng and Ye Ping. Putting aside everything else, she was already at a disadvantage in terms of momentum and could never win in the end.

She was so angry she could die.

In the chill of early spring, Yu Shu shivered as soon as she left the hospital.

On the ride home to her apartment, Yu Shu was watching videos updated by her favorite influencer. This episode was about Hainan cuisine, from Hainan chicken rice to coconut chicken, from wild yellow croaker to emperor crab, from coconut groves to soft sandy beaches...

Go! That was the only thought in her mind.

Yu Shu returned to her apartment, packed a few simple pieces of luggage, and headed straight for the airport.

When she arrived at the airport, she was still a little muddled, marveling at how she was becoming more and more impulsive, buying whatever she wanted and going wherever she pleased right away.

She didn't feel there was anything wrong with that. On the contrary, she felt that this was her true nature, while her previous indecisiveness and prudence were limited by her living conditions.

Yu Shu looked down at the Hainan travel guide and turned a corner, crashing headlong into someone and falling on the ground with a sore butt.

Yu Shu: "Why were you walking so fast?"

Shen Youlin: "Why weren't you looking while walking?"

"You again?" In her heart, Yu Shu was exasperated. She must not have checked the almanac today. Traveling on an inauspicious day would surely invite calamity.

Seeing it was her, Shen Youlin smiled instead. He smiled merrily as he extended a hand to help her up, "Look, we really have an affinity."

Yu Shu slapped his hand away and stood up herself, "If we have affinity, it'd be ill fate."

"Baby radish frozen, where are you going? Let's go together since we're going the same way."

Yu Shu rolled her eyes. "How is it the same way when taking a plane?"

"Hey, young lady, don't keep mentioning shit, piss, and farts," Shen Youlin spoke solemnly, trying to educate her. "Or else people might think your family doesn't feed you enough!"

Yu Shu walked away without wanting to bother with him anymore. "Thanks, but don't project onto others. Aside from you, no one eats that stuff."

Shen Youlin clung on stubbornly, dragging his suitcase as he followed behind her, "Wait for me, let's go together since we're on the same route. It'd be good to have company on the way."

"Not the same route."

"Wherever you go, I'll go too. How can it not be the same route?"

Shen Youlin pestered her relentlessly. At check-in, he booked the seat next to Yu Shu's. Too lazy to argue in public, Yu Shu let him be. After boarding the plane, she put on an eye mask and went to sleep.

It was Shen Youlin's first time in economy class. He marveled at everything, exclaiming incessantly.

"Economy class is so big! So many people! The seats are so small! There's not even a blanket!"

Annoyed by his blabbering, Yu Shu couldn't even sleep properly, "Young master, go back to your first class."

"Roger that!" Shen Youlin snapped his fingers to call the flight attendant, "Please upgrade the cabin for me and my girlfriend, thanks."

"Who the hell is your girlfriend?!"

Shen Youlin looked aggrieved, "Dear, don't be mad at me. I didn't mean to break your eyebrow pencil."

Yu Shu could already hear the whispers of nearby passengers saying she was unappreciative, unaware of her blessings, to have such a handsome and rich boyfriend yet still nitpick over little things. She must have water in her brain to be so silly.

They only lacked pointing at her forehead and scolding her a shrew with princess syndrome.

Yu Shu put on an even sadder, more aggrieved expression than him, "We've broken up. You brought three women home in one night and still want me to forgive you?"

After speaking, she shed two lines of humiliated yet defiant tears.

The gossipers: Wow! So that's how the eyebrow pencil broke!
