Chapter 371: Sick

When Ji Buwang went to the police station to pick up Old Master Ji again, he saw Old Master Ji in his most disheveled state ever. There were scratch marks on his face, a tear at the corner of his mouth, and he was having a nosebleed. His white hair was also sparse and messy.

This was evidence that the young man he had beaten had retaliated. When Ji Buwang arrived, Old Master Ji was still scolding someone.

Despite his old age, Old Master Ji’s integrity couldn’t be preserved. He had gone to the police station twice, and every time, the matter was related to Xiao Wu. The reasons were getting more and more ridiculous.

Ji Buwang didn’t even know how to describe his feelings. He exerted all his energy and apologized to save Old Master Ji from jail.

While Xiao Wu was the subject of many controversies, Old Master Ji could fight with others. When Xiao Wu was praised, needless to say, he gave the people who praised him his full support. Ever since he had received the family tickets, Xiao Wu had become Old Master Ji’s latest tool to show off.

Although Old Master Ji bragged and flaunted him, making many people envious, the tickets were sold out in advance. The concert wouldn’t take place anytime soon, so they had to wait until the summer vacation.

If Xiao Wu’s first concert went smoothly, there might be a second and third one. Many places were waiting for Xiao Wu to visit them. Other than China, many foreign cities also kept inviting him. Only Xiao Wu had accomplished so much and received such treatment.

During the weekend, Mu Jingzhe went with Xiao Wu to handle the concert organization. There were many things going on, but everything went smoothly.

People were in high spirits when it came to happy events. Mu Jingzhe’s business had always been good, and everything had also gone well for Shao Dong and the rest. Mu Jingzhe felt that she had become a winner in life. She looked forward to the concert starting on time.

After Xiao Wu arrived in Ocean City, he had to meet with the musicians and practice. Other than handling his matters, Mu Jingzhe was also busy doing other things. Fortunately, Ji Buwang, his responsible uncle, was there to help.

Because Xiao Wu was often in Ocean City, Ji Buwang had also bought a house in Ocean City to facilitate Xiao Wu’s every visit.

Mu Jingzhe, who was speechless, marveled at how generous Ji Buwang was. However, she also followed suit. Later on, she bought two houses in pretty good locations in Ocean City.

One of them was an old house in Ocean City. Upon thinking of the housing prices in Ocean City in the future, Mu Jingzhe felt that it was very affordable. Renting out the house now would also be a very good idea. If there was a chance, Mu Jingzhe would buy a few more properties.

The other property she bought was a small bungalow. Ocean City had many garden residences of different styles. Previously, Ji Buwang had also bought one of them, and it was very big and unique. Mu Jingzhe later purchased a unit not far away. It was slightly smaller than the one Ji Buwang had bought, but Mu Jingzhe liked it very much. It was just enough for the children to stay in, and there was also room for guests when they came.

Mu Jingzhe had learned about this house from Ji Buwang when he’d heard the news. After Mu Jingzhe bought it, she felt like she was having a dream.

In the future, she, Mu Jingzhe, would have to slog away to repay the mortgage of a small house. But now, she had actually bought a small villa. Furthermore, it was in Ocean City, which was something she had never even dared to imagine. She had simply reached the peak of her life.

After the house was renovated, they bought some furniture and moved in. In the future, Mu Jingzhe would still have a house in Ocean City.

This time, she and Xiao Wu moved in directly. The five kids were also looking forward to the new house, but they couldn’t come over for the time being. However, Mu Jingzhe had taken the time to decorate their rooms. In the future, they could each have a room.

Mu Jingzhe tidied up the house and was in high spirits every day. Ji Buwang would come to help from time to time.

After enjoying herself for a few days, she even went out to eat a sumptuous meal to celebrate. Then, her joy turned to sorrow, and she felt a little unwell the next day.

After taking Xiao Wu to the rehearsal, Mu Jingzhe finished her work. After lunch, she wanted to go to the studio, but she suddenly felt nauseous and weak. Looking at the sky outside, Mu Jingzhe thought that she had suffered a heat stroke, so she contacted Sister Wei and said that she would go the next day. If Sister Wei was free, she could come over.

Ocean City’s studio was operating normally now. The clothes Mu Jingzhe designed were always unexpected—either unimaginably trendy, simple, or retro. In short, she dabbled in all sorts of styles. The clothes were all designed according to different people.

These celebrities went on to have many opportunities because of Mu Jingzhe’s stunning clothes. They all said that Mu Jingzhe’s clothes were good luck, or rather, a battle robe that showed them a different side of themselves.

As these rumors spread, she slowly became famous. Her studio became a place where many people, especially celebrities, chose to customize their clothes. As her reputation grew, the clothes became increasingly expensive. However, the more expensive they were, the more people wanted to collaborate with her. Wearing her clothes became a form of pride.

It wasn’t simple to interact with celebrities and customers. Fortunately, Mu Jingzhe had the help of Sister Wei, who was a treasure. Sister Wei was becoming more and more capable. Not only were there no problems with her professional abilities, but she also attended to people and treated them well. She looked like a brand-new person and had really started afresh.

Now that she was confident, she slowly started to shine. It was said that there were even some men trying to woo her. However, Sister Wei no longer had a yearning for love and only focused on her work.

With Sister Wei in the studio, after recruiting four more people, Mu Jingzhe didn’t have anything to worry about. Usually, she didn’t care about anything but designing and making the clothes. Many things were handled by two work assistants.

Mu Jingzhe was simply extremely fortunate that she had recruited Sister Wei. Although Sister Wei said that meeting Mu Jingzhe was her greatest fortune and that she had been reborn because of her, Mu Jingzhe felt that all of this had happened because she was outstanding to begin with. Otherwise, it would have been useless no matter how much Mu Jingzhe had helped her.

Her encounter with Sister Wei was probably a way to fulfill each other’s wishes. Mu Jingzhe sighed with emotion, planning to busy herself at home. In the end, she felt even more uncomfortable sitting there. It was as if all her strength had been sucked out of her body, and she felt increasingly nauseated, yet she couldn’t vomit.

As Mu Jingzhe was feeling terrible, Ji Buwang came. He was holding a homemade popsicle that he wanted to share with Mu Jingzhe, but when he opened the door, he was shocked to see Mu Jingzhe.

“What’s wrong, Jingzhe? Why do you look so pale?”

“You can tell, huh? I think I’ve suffered a heat stroke.”

“Heat stroke?” Ji Buwang looked at Mu Jingzhe and thought that her face was too pale. Her lips were even a little blue. “Are you feeling unwell otherwise?”

“I just feel nauseous and weak.”

“Have you taken your medicine?”

“Yes, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Maybe the drug hasn’t taken effect yet.”

“Sit down quickly.” Ji Buwang placed the popsicle in the refrigerator and sat with Mu Jingzhe for a while. However, the effects of the drug had yet to appear. Mu Jingzhe still felt terrible.

“Let’s go to the hospital to have you checked first,” Ji Buwang said directly.

“Alright.” Mu Jingzhe was feeling terrible, but she didn’t delay. Ji Buwang went back to his house to drive his car over, but after she got in the car, Mu Jingzhe’s expression turned even uglier.

“No, I feel even more uncomfortable in the car. I feel way too terrible.”

Ji Buwang quickly stopped the car. After some thought, he found a hat for Mu Jingzhe and rode his bicycle with her.

He had bought the bicycle after going to Ocean City. Previously, Ji Buwang had felt that the bicycle was very good and he would ride it when he had nothing to do. He had thought that he would find an opportunity to give Mu Jingzhe a bicycle ride. This time, he finally had the chance, yet it was only because Mu Jingzhe had fallen sick.
