Upon its removal, the urn erupts, seven scaly impure miners surge...
Fu Hange took a taxi back by herself. Fortunately, Xiangcheng is not far from City C, and it only took two hours to get there. The first thing she did upon returning home was to change into her own clothes. Wearing Gu Yuan's clothes made her feel that Gu Yuan was pitying her.
Xu arrived later, but found no one in the office. She was still burning up and feeling a little dizzy. There was a contract on the desk; she couldn't understand what was written on it, but her intuition told her it must be related to Gu Yuan's unusual behavior yesterday.
Just then, Jiang Xiaoleng walked in carrying documents. She was surprised and delighted to see Fu Hange. She was about to greet her when Fu Hange interrupted her first.
Fu Hange picked up the contract and faced Jiang Xiaoleng, asking, "Explain this."
Jiang Xiaoleng was unusually happy and walked over to put down the documents in her hand: "This is a cooperation agreement between the Xu family and a young master of a conglomerate."
At this point, Jiang Xiaoling leaned close to Fu Hange's ear and whispered, "Sister Xu, we managed to snatch this order from Gu Yuan with great difficulty, so you should cherish it."
A bolt from the blue struck her. Fu Hange was already burning up, and these words made her even more dizzy, her anger rising. But she didn't have the strength to rebuke Jiang Xiaoling; she was mostly at a loss. So that's why Gu Yuan gets angry...
When she woke up again, her body was no longer as hot as it had been at Xu's, but her head was still a little heavy, and her hands were icy cold. Fu Hange remained motionless, looking around the all-white ward, and realized she was receiving an IV drip. She hated this white, especially when she was feeling listless; looking at this white made her feel lifeless.
Her thoughts drifted back to Gu Yuan. Compared to his unusual behavior yesterday, he probably thought she had stolen the order, right? She had deliberately followed him out to get him away so that the people from the Xu family could make their move.
Fu Hange's head throbbed more and more as she thought about it. She told herself not to care too much about Gu Yuan's opinion of her; if he hated her, let him hate her, because he wouldn't dare kill her anyway. But even though she tried to think that way, she still felt a tightness in her chest and didn't know why she was so sad.
Jiang Xiaoling came in carrying some things and happened to see Fu Hange crying with her head in her hands. She quickly put down what she was carrying and hugged Fu Hange, just like last time, without saying a word, simply holding her quietly. This feeling made Fu Hange feel very at ease, having an embrace to comfort her. Although it wasn't someone she was very close to, Fu Hange felt inexplicably at ease.
After a long while, her headache finally subsided, and she gently broke free from Jiang Xiaoling's embrace.
Jiang Xiaoling clearly noticed that there were water stains in the corners of Fu Hange's eyes. She didn't say anything, her smile remained unchanged, and she opened the lunchbox that she had just brought in and placed it in front of Yan.
Fu Hange took the bowl of porridge, which was still slightly warm. She looked at Jiang Xiaoling, speechless for a long time. She really wanted to ask Jiang Xiaoling why she was being so good to her, but in this situation, asking too much would seem pointless. Some things were better left unsaid.
Jiang Xiaoling seemed to see through Fu Hange's thoughts and said softly, "Sister Fu, do you remember when we first met? I was accidentally hit by your brother's car, and then you took me to the hospital. Then we met again at the restaurant entrance. I was a mess, and you took me home without looking down on me and gave me a job opportunity. I can never repay this kindness."
Fu Hange was at a loss for words after hearing this.
