Xu Wan met a man from her industry at a matchmaking party. Two days later, they got their marriage certificate.
She thought she had married an unremarkable corporate legal counsel.
Afte...
After the call connected, before Gong Yanli could speak, Jiang Tingzhou said, "Xu Wan has a fever. Call your hospital's ambulance to pick her up now."
What is the fever level?
Gong Yanli asked first.
"How many degrees..." Jiang Tingzhou paused for a moment, reached out to touch the woman's forehead, and mumbled, "At least forty degrees."
"Brother, temperature isn't something you just say, it's something you measure! Besides, do you know what forty degrees means? If it really is forty degrees, she might not even remember who you are when she wakes up."
Gong Yanli was utterly speechless at Jiang Tingzhou's words. "Do you have a thermometer at home? Take my temperature."
Jiang Tingzhou has always been a pampered young master. From childhood to adulthood, he has always been taken care of by others and has never taken care of anyone else.
Moreover, he was in good health and almost never got sick.
"Yes, I think so. Let me look for it."
They lived in the house for more than a month, but they were actually home for very short periods of time. Apart from the bedroom, bathroom, and study, they rarely used the living room.
"Take their temperature first. If it's very high, don't dress them too warmly..."
"What if her fever worsens if she doesn't wear warm clothes?"
Before Gong Yanli could finish speaking, Jiang Tingzhou became anxious.
Gong Yanli wanted to criticize Jiang Tingzhou, but considering the patient's condition, she said directly, "Are you the doctor and am I the doctor? Should I listen to you or me?"
"...You're a doctor, so I'll listen to you. Go ahead and tell me."
Jiang Tingzhou's tone softened noticeably.
Gong Yanli wanted to complain to him again, but she held back. "Take your temperature first. If it's over 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can consider physical cooling methods. Put a towel on your forehead, and then wipe your palms and armpits with warm water. If you've eaten, take some fever reducer. If you haven't eaten, that's fine. I'm going to call the hospital now. Go find a thermometer. It's raining heavily now, so I'll try my best to get it to you as soon as possible."
"Okay, hurry as fast as you can, she has a high fever."
Jiang Tingzhou's voice was unusually pleasant to speak to.
Gong Yanli found the words somewhat unfamiliar.
As the heir apparent to the prominent Jiang family in China, he is intelligent and athletic. After inheriting Tianwei Group, his decisive and ruthless approach to business silenced the antique shareholders.
It's hard to say what he cares about, but now he's lowering himself so much for such an ordinary woman.
Gong Yanli's evaluation of Xu Wan can be summed up in just two words—beautiful.
She wasn't a stunning beauty who would immediately catch the eye, nor a delicate rose. If one had to describe her, she would be more like a beautiful and intelligent magnolia, pure and captivating.
But that alone doesn't seem to be enough to make Jiang Tingzhou so infatuated with her.
But people of their status shouldn't have such people around them, not even their wives, who shouldn't be easy targets for exploitation.
Gong Yanli had just entered the house and hadn't even had time to change into her slippers.
After making a phone call to the hospital, he glanced at the heavy rain outside the window, picked up his car keys, opened the door, and left.
Less than twenty minutes after Gong Yanli arrived at the hospital, the doctor informed him that the ambulance had returned.
He went to the VIP ward of the inpatient department and saw Jiang Tingzhou standing alone outside.
"How about it?"
Gong Yanli walked over and asked.
"Your temperature has been taken; it's 39 degrees Celsius."
"Why did you suddenly develop a fever? Did you get caught in the rain today?"
"Hmm." Jiang Tingzhou's gaze turned somewhat cold. "I suspect that some fools at Tianyuan Law Firm are behind this. I'll have Yuan Shuxin investigate."
"After you investigate, what then? Fire that person?" Gong Yanli said directly, "Why don't you just reveal your identity, tell her you are the president of Tianwei Group, and then announce to the world that she is your wife? Not to mention those people at Tianyuan Law Firm, how many people in Beicheng and even the whole country would treat her with utmost respect?"
Jiang Tingzhou was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Let's not even talk about the lawsuit I fought for her mother. If she knew the vast difference in our social status, she would probably ask for a divorce on the spot."
"Brother, I'm not saying you're naive, but all women are the same. They only dislike you for being poor, no one will dislike you for being rich."
Gong Yanli patted Jiang Tingzhou on the shoulder.
Perhaps due to her age, Miyahiko is more pragmatic.
“She is not,” Jiang Tingzhou said.
"How about I try it for you later?" Gong Yanli asked.
