Chapter 39 Come and Tell it to Me Face to Face


    "What''s with all this nonsenseing out of you? She''s just a friend." Brian stared at him and spoke


    like he was going to quickly lose his patience.


    "OK, then. Just let her take a good rest and give her something nutritious to eat for her health when


    she wakes up."


    Brian finally eased up on his tension when he was assured that nothing serious was affecting J.


    After two o''clock in the afternoon


    A Lamborghini SUV car parked in front of the military hospital''s gates, and a middle-aged couple


    walked out of it and hurried into the hospital.


    "Wee, but this is a military hospital and entry for unauthorized people is strictly prohibited."


    Two soldiers stopped them in their tracks when they were about to enter the hospital.


    "The patient in Room 506 is my daughter, J Shao." E gave Jane''s room number. They didn''t


    know that Jane was sent to a hospital until L told them what had happened.


    The two soldiers looked at each other: "Wait a moment please." Then, one of the soldiers ran inside


    and quickly made a phone call.


    He returned within two minutes'' time, and said,"Please wait here, Mr. Han ising right now to


    receive you."


    Samuel was so concerned that he could hardly wait any longer. "Call Mr. Liu, the hospital''s director,


    and tell him my name Samuel Shao."


    E held on to Samuel''s arm, and said to the soldiers,"It''s no need. Someone is alreadying, right?


    We''ll just wait here."


    No sooner had E finished speaking her words, and Brian, who was dressed in his military uniform,


    quickly ran up to them, and he asked them,"Hello, are you J''s parents?" Then he guided Samuel


    and E courteously into the hospital.


    "How is my daughter doing?" Samuel stared at Brian and was already trying to guess the rtionship


    between his daughter and the man in front of him.


    "Don''t worry, J is just... it''s nothing serious." Before Brian finished speaking, E already


    understood.


    As her mother, she knew her daughter well enough, and immediately understood what had happened


    with her.


    In the patient''s room


    J was now up and was drinking her ck chicken soup.


    "Dad, Mom!" When she saw Samuel and E, J put down the spoon in her hand and hastily got out


    of bed and walked towards them.


    "Jane, how are you feeling?" Samuel held her hands and scanned her from top to bottom.


    "Dad, don''t worry, I''m OK," said J, with her arms gripped around Samuel''s neck. "Nothing is wrong


    with me, except for a little tummy ache," she continued.


    "You, silly child! Why didn''t you tell me in advance that your period wasing? If I had known this, I


    definitely wouldn''t have allowed you to join the military training!" E used to know when Jane''s


    menstrual period came. But then Jane went to America and she lost track of it.


    "Mom, Brian brought me some ck chicken soup, and I feel much better now after drinking it."


    "Young fellow, thank you very much for your help!" E delivered her thanks to Brian.


    Brian put aside his cap and smiled at the two elders,"Mr. Shao, Mrs. Shao, nice to meet you. I am


    Brian, J''s friend."


    Brian''s attitude was so modest that he left a very good impression to Samuel. They shook hands with


    each other.


    "Dad, he''s Bill''s cousin, and grandpa Han''s grandson!" Samuel, knew, of course, who grandpa Han


    was. He was even more satisfied with Brian now when he knew that he was the grandson of General


    Charles Han.


    "Oh, Brian, I was one of your uncle''s ymate for several years in our childhood. And your uncle has


    also helped me a lotter on, over the years, and also your grandfather offered me great help. How is


    your mother doing?" Samuel knew that Brian''s father had passed away, and that his mother had


    be so disheartened that she was not in the best of her mental health.


    "Thank you, Mr. Shao, my mother is much better now and is doing therapy abroad." Samuel and Brian


    chatted with one another at one side of the room.


    J finished her soup in front of E, and E saw Brian''s military uniform. His military grades


    indicated that he was a middle-ss military officer.


    "How did youe to know each other?" She looked at her daughter with doubt.


    "I got to know him through Bill, and Brian also was my military training leader in thesest couple of


    days." J spoke honestly.


    E nodded, and then heard theughtering from Samuel and Brian. They seemed to have a very


    nice talk and enjoying themselves.


    Then,ter on, Brian escorted J and her parents to the hospital gates, and then went back.


    On their way back home, Samuel forbade her daughter to go back to the military training.


    J had to promise this, and wondered if she should or shouldn''t tell Daniel.


    "Mom, can you please ask L to tell Daniel that I am not going to the military training anymore?"


    asked J.


    "Why don''t you tell him yourself?" replied E. She thought this was making things tooplicated.


    "I don''t have his phone number." She only knew his Weibo ount, and she thought that it wasn''t


    proper to send him messages on Weibo.


    E nced at her daughter and had no choice but to take out her mobile phone and call L.


    L told the whole thing to Daniel, and he answered,"Ask her to call me back herself."


    L told J all about Daniel''s answer on Wechat, and J replied to L, embarrassed,"Mother*,


    I don''t have Daniel''s phone number, and I''d better not talk to him."


    (*TN: sworn mother)


    Then she received Daniel''s private phone number, and his Wechat ount, and also some other


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    chatting ounts where she could get a hold on him whenever she wanted.


    ...


    J hesitated for a while and then dialed Daniel''s number.


    The call soon connected, but there were no wordsing from the other side of the line, not even a


    greeting.


    She calmed herself and her emotions, and said,"Hello, Mr. Si. It''s J Shao."


    It was a very official greeting, and Daniel frowned his brows.


    But still there was no reply, and J was not happy with this. ''Does he have the least intention to talk


    to me?''


    "I am not in the greatest of health, and I called to ask if I may be granted permission to skip the military


    training." Dead silence filled the air.


    Daniel didn''t say anything, but he didn''t hang up either. J didn''t know what was happening.


    "Mr. Si?"


    "You got involved in a dubious rtionship with a military officer during the training, which has had a


    bad impact on thepany''s reputation. Half of your sry will be cut off as punishment."


    ...


    J tightly gripped her quilt, and protested,"Daniel Si! Why do you treat me so stringently? Must you


    act so vicious with me all the time?"


    "J Shao, pay close attention to your manners!" Daniel could imagine her expressions and reactions


    on the other side of the line.


    "Daniel, let me tell you one thing: from this moment on, I resign from the SL Group!" Again a dead


    silence appeared after J''s words.


    Finally, a cold voice came from the other side of the line,"If you want to resign, that''s OK, bute and


    tell it to me face to face."


    J stood up in her bed instantly, and said,"No problem, Daniel! Just you wait!"


    J was so irritated that she actually forgot about one essential thing. She was only a trainee there,


    and had only signed a temporary contract. So, if she wanted to resign, she could just stop going to


    work.


    E was drinking a ss of water when she saw J rushing outside dressed only in her nightgown.


    She asked her,"Jane, where are you going?"


    J rolled up her sleeves and shouted: "Mom, don''t try to stop me. I have to end this thing with


    Daniel. He treats me horribly!"
