Hospital. Before going upstairs, Shen Wanci stopped by the convenience store downstairs to buy a boxed meal. The reporter was still in the ward. As soon as Shen Wanci entered, Jiang Yi immediately gazed at the doorway until he confirmed that it was only her. He then withdrew his gaze, "Wanwan, I didn't expect you to come see me even this late. Why are you alone? This place is so remote, what if something dangerous happens?" You'd think they were best friends, the way they talk. "No, he's parking downstairs," Shen Wanci took a white foam takeaway box out of the plastic bag. The pungent smell of cheap food hit her face instantly. It was obvious that it was packed from the fly restaurant downstairs, "Didn't you say you were hungry? I brought you dinner, come on, let me feed you." She smiled and scooped a spoonful of rice, bringing it to Jiang Yi's lips. That dish doesn't look fresh at all, and I don't know how long it's been sitting there. It could even be pre-made. Jiang Yi's smile stiffened, her lips pressed tight, afraid Shen Wanci would shove the spoon into her mouth. From childhood to adulthood, her three meals a day were all made with the freshest ingredients, cooked by star chefs, and even the tableware cost tens of thousands. Now, this woman actually feeds her with such cheap boxed lunches. Shen Wanci leaned forward, using a voice only the two of them could hear: "Aren't you going to eat? The reporters are all watching." Jiang Yihe: "..." "Has Old Master Ginger been letting you back to City A lately?" Jiang Yi gritted his teeth, forcing down the disgust and taking a bite: "You're ruthless." A wave of foul oiliness assaulted her taste buds. Ginger Yi couldn't hold it in and immediately 'wowed' and vomited it all out. This trash, is it also edible? Shen Wanci was clearly messing with her, but considering the time, Bo Jingzhou should have already parked and come up. Cherishing and respecting women is a man's instinct. Especially still, like her so beautiful. Jiang Yihe couldn't believe it. After putting so much effort into seducing him, he still wasn't falling for it. She bit the inside of her cheek hard, the sharp pain stimulating her tear ducts. When she looked up again, there were tears welling in her eyes, her face flushed red. As expected, the next second the hospital door opened, but instead of Bo Jingzhou, it was—her second uncle. Jiang Yi's expression of sympathy for Chu Chu froze on his face: "Second Uncle, how did you get here?" Second Master Jiang glanced at Shen Wanci beside him. On the other side, Lu Feng had already 'asked' everyone else in the ward to leave. After calming down, Ginger Second Master spoke, "About the marriage alliance with the Bo family, I have already told your father. You needn't bring it up again." Jiang Yi couldn't believe it. He pointed to Shen Wanci beside him, his voice trembling: "Second Uncle did this because of her? Because she is Bo Jingzhou's woman, my arranged marriage is void? You know very well that if I don't marry within a short time, I will have to..." Thinking that the reporters outside might not have gone far, Jiang Yi hastily swallowed the second half of his sentence: "I just don't understand, what about her is worth you being so partial to her? Is she your woman, or are you..." Her gaze darted back and forth between her second uncle and Shen Wanci... Her second uncle never married in his life, but a normal man must have had a few women. For so many years, he hadn't shown special treatment to any woman. Shen Wanci was the only exception. A man like her uncle, tall, handsome and rich, countless women would want to marry him. In a wealthy family, climbing the social ladder by marrying up is nothing unusual. If Shen Wanci was really her second uncle's child... The very thought of this possibility sent a thrill through Jiang Yi He, his eyes burning with eagerness as he stared at Shen Wan Ci. He longed to immediately pluck a few strands of her hair for a paternity test. "Ginger Yi, I think you've been spoiled beyond measure. You've even forgotten the most basic respect for your elders," roared Second Master Ginger, his gaze fixed on her with a look of disappointment. "Your marriage? A one-sided infatuation? Has the Bo family agreed? Will the Bo family agree?" Jiang Yihe let out a cold snort. "Of course you're not in a hurry, you don't have a daughter." If I listen any longer, I'm afraid I'll hear the secrets of the Ginger family. Shen Wanci took advantage of the silence and interjected, "You guys chat slowly, I'm leaving first. Second Master Ginger, I hope that afterwards, Miss Ginger won't call me again. About her saving me... if you want any reward, just ask." The driver involved in the accident has woken up, and the reason behind the crash has been uncovered. He was facing a multitude of personal issues: his company went bankrupt, he was deeply in debt, his wife left him, his daughter wasn't biologically his, and his father died from a heart attack brought on by stress. Overwhelmed and feeling desperate for revenge, he decided to lash out at society. As for whether he has any connection with Jiang Yi, it hasn't been found out yet. Jiang Yi He: "I want you to help me get together with Mr. Bo." "Can't do that." "During my hospital stay, let's have at least three hours of alone time together each day." "Can't do it either." Jiang Yi sneered: “Then you still say that you want whatever reward, just name it? You talk so boldly, but in the end, you can't do it!” "I said you could ask, but I didn't say I would fulfill every single one. Do you think I'm a genie or something? Wishing on me won't make it happen." She turned and left the ward. Footsteps followed her, and she didn't need to look back to know who it was: "Second Master Jiang, if you're here to apologize for Jiang Yi, then there's no need." Ginger's second master walked beside her, walking side by side. With a slight turn of his head, he could see her face, which resembled Shen Anqiao's: "Your mother has taught you well." Decisive, brave, and unyielding to the pressure and challenges of others. They can also fight back immediately when bullied. After finishing her words, the two just reached the elevator. Shen Wanci stopped and turned to look at Jiang Er, whose expression was complex as he stared at her. She smiled faintly: "This is my temper with my daughter, Shen Zhengan. My mother always taught me to be tolerant, kind and generous. Since you and she are old acquaintances, you should understand her personality. Because she's easy to bully, she gets bullied." " ... Have you had a hard time at the Shen residence these past years?" The elevator arrived. Shen Wanci didn't answer his question, stepped in, and said, "We are taking different paths, I'm leaving first." After her mother's death, what kind of life she led in the Shen family, if one had a mind to, just ask the neighbors. If one were uninterested, even saying it would be no more than creating gossip. The elevator doors closed. Lu Feng walked over: "Second Master." "Go check what Wanci has been up to in the Shen family these years." After Shen Anqiao left him, he disappeared. Around that time, the old master also suddenly passed away. The Jiang family was in chaos and he had no time or ability to worry about anything else. Later, after things finally calmed down, he couldn't find him anymore. He turned his head to look in the direction of the ward: "Send someone to watch Yihe, and contact the accompanying doctor to send her back to City A." |
