Chapter 1669 - Don’t Have To Put Up With Them
Instead of saying anything, Mo Yutian went to get a thermometer and took her temperature.
It was 38.7°C, definitely a fever.
“I think we’ve got antipyretics. I’m getting some for you.”
Mo Yutian rolled the wheelchair out and got some antipyretics and a cup of water. Then he came back and helped her take the medicine.
But he still felt worried. “Shall we go to the doctor, Xiaoxi?”
“No need. I will be fine after a nap and some sweating.”
Jing Xi knew it was nothing serious and did not want to bother.
Since she refused to go to the hospital, Mo Yutian had to stay with her until she fell asleep.
Later, her phone rang. Mo Yutian thought for a second then reached for it.
It showed “Auntie Lan.” Mo Yutian recalled the kind face of an old woman. He remembered Auntie Lan.
She was their housekeeper in Yunjing Villa.
He wondered if it was for the little prince, and decided to answer it for Jin Xiaoxi.
As expected, the woman asked if Jin Xiaoxi would be available today.
“Sorry, I’m Xiaoxi’s husband. She’s sick today. I’m afraid she can’t pick up the boy,” Mo Yutian explained.
Hearing his voice, Auntie Lan was slightly surprised as she found the voice somehow familiar. But she did not think much and said, “Thank you for letting me know. Is she alright?”
“She’s got a fever, but she’ll be fine soon.”
“I see. Please take good care of her. Let’s talk again when she feels better.”
Auntie Lan hung up. Mo Yutian placed the phone on the nightstand and went to the kitchen to make her some congee for dinner.
After a good nap and some sweating, Jing Xi felt the fever was gone and her energy was back.
She got up and took a shower. When getting out of the shower, she saw Niuniu’s father coming out of his room.
Mo Yutian came to her and said, “Xiaoxi, are you feeling better now?”
“I’m fine.”
“Come here. I’ve got something to show you.”
“What is it?”
Following him, she went to his room and saw a webpage on his computer.
“Take a look!”
“What is it?” Jing Xi took a look at the page and read aloud, “National Singing Competition… Everyone is eligible… Award of one million dollars…”
She was confused. “Why are you showing me this?”
“You could only sing for someone else in Longwei. But if you participate in this and get an award, you will have the best marketing team and could sing for yourself.”
Mo Yutian tried to encourage her to be a little braver and pursue her own dream.
“It sounds good. But I’m under a contract with Longwei. If I participate, they will recognize my voice instantly. What would Longwei do to me then?”
“It was they who played dirty and wasted your talent. I have thought it through. Even if they could recognize your voice, you won’t get into any trouble. Because you have your contract and you can definitely prove it is your voice rather than that Angela’s,” Mo Yutian reasoned.
Hearing his words, Jing Xi felt enlightened.
Heiniu was right. It was Longwei who had broken their agreement first. Why should she put up with them and be a ghost singer for someone else?
Although she was not pretty, there must be people who would like her singing and accept her for who she was.
That being thought through, Jing Xi no longer felt worried. She looked through the rules and said, “Fine. I will participate.”
