After crossing the bridge, they soon arrived at the shopping mall, where a huge boulder blocked their entrance.

Upon smelling Jiang Ruan's scent, Wan Mei pounded on the window and cried out, "My God, you're finally back! You scared me to death! There was a loud bang, and a big rock suddenly fell down!"

Look, the door frame is warped; I can't even get out."

Jiang Ruan had just reached the edge of the rock when she heard Wan Mei's wailing, which contained joy and excitement, as well as a trace of grievance.

She walked slowly to the window next to the door, reached out and tapped the fingerprint lock in the lower right corner. With a "beep," the window opened from the middle and swung open to both sides.

Wanmei appeared before everyone wearing pink bear pajamas, with messy hair and heavy eye bags.

"Ah..." Wan Mei screamed and ran back, covering her face. As she ran, she shouted, "Ahhh, how could they be so uncivilized? Why didn't they say anything before opening the door? My image is completely ruined!"

Zhang Yang and the An sisters, who came down at the same time, suppressed a smile, barely managing not to let it out.

"Um, who is that?" As Jiang Ruan's best friend, An Xia was naturally more at ease than the other two, so she patted Jiang Ruan's shoulder, raised her chin, and asked.

"The caregiver we found is very cute, right?" Jiang Ruan shook her head and said with a hint of helplessness.

She never expected that Wan Mei, who always talked about being a perfect person, would have such a casual side.

But it must be said that she is naturally cute, and this outfit doesn't make her look unkempt at all. On the contrary, it adds to her charm, like an elf who accidentally fell to earth, making her extremely adorable.

"She is indeed quite cute. Speaking of which, how are your parents? It's been so long, they should be awake by now." An Xia's smile faded, and she looked inside with concern.

She knew about the car accident; although the perpetrator was quickly apprehended and the police determined it to be an accident.

But she felt that this matter was not so simple, and it must be related to that scumbag. It must be his deliberate act of revenge.

It's just that their methods are so sophisticated that no one can tell.

Thinking of this, she wished she could throw that person into the cannibal tribe and let him taste the bitterness.

Jiang Ruan had been away for a few days, and her biggest worry was her parents. Although she knew in her heart that nothing would happen to them, she was still worried.

She had no other desires in her life but to protect the people who gave birth to her and the people she gave birth to; nothing else mattered.

She glanced at Wanmei, who had returned, and smiled. "With her here, I think my parents should be well taken care of. They'll wake up soon."

"That's good. Since I'm here, I should give my regards to Uncle and Aunt. I didn't bring anything with me and didn't have time to do so. I'll make it up to them later."

Anxia felt a little embarrassed about this for the first time.

"It's alright, let's go in and rest for a bit." Jiang Ruan glanced at the people behind her and gestured for them to follow her in.

After everyone came in, Wanmei had already prepared all the tea and snacks and greeted them.

"From now on, we're all here, so don't be too reserved. Say whatever you want, as long as it's good for our whole group."

"If you have any other ideas, you can speak them now. I will just treat you as temporary residents and will not mistreat you too much."

After everyone was seated, Jiang Ruan looked around and slowly spoke.

She always felt that many things should be done quickly rather than slowly, and if they could be settled as quickly as possible, there was no need to waste so much effort on other things.

So, this idea, which had already taken shape on the road, was finally fully described at this moment.

“I have no objection. Given the chaotic situation outside, I think my house and buildings probably won’t hold up. I’d rather stay here with you; I feel safer.”

Anxia spoke first, setting an example for the others.

"Of course I don't need to say anything. Staying here was something I planned when I came here." Zhang Yang put down his crossed legs, and his eyes suddenly became firm.

“Me, me, me too. This is great. It would be even better if my parents could come too.” Li Ming was always worried about his parents who were far away in the hospital; they were his concerns and longings.

An Chun agreed and followed her sister.

She knew quite a bit about Jiang Ruan, but she trusted her older sister more than Jiang Ruan.

Since her sister is going to follow Jiang Ruan, she'll definitely be willing to stay here too.

Seeing that everyone had expressed their gratitude, Jiang Ruan stood up and bowed to them. "Thank you for your trust. Although I am not very talented, I can still provide you with a warm and comfortable place to live in this chaotic world. More importantly, I will do my best to protect each and every one of you."

Jiang Ruan looked at them firmly, a protective instinct rising within her.

Looking at Jiang Ruan, who was completely different from before the trip, Wan Mei felt strange, but she wasn't foolish enough to ask directly.

"Jiang Ruan, have some water. You must be exhausted." Wan Mei walked over to her and handed her a teacup, glancing at the others.

Li Ming was huddled on the sofa, looking extremely uncomfortable. Wan Mei went over and checked his injuries.

Although she is just a caregiver, she comes from a family of doctors and combines Chinese and Western medicine. She is more skilled in traditional Chinese medicine but slightly lacks in Western medicine.

So with just one glance, she knew that the man's leg injury was serious and might have already become infected. If it wasn't treated soon, he might really become disabled.

"Does it hurt?" Wanmei lifted his trouser leg, examined the scab on the wound, and gently pressed the area next to it.

Li Ming didn't know what she did at first, and Jiang Ruan didn't explain either, but seeing her skillful technique, he roughly knew something.

"It hurts a little, but it's bearable!" Li Ming said through gritted teeth, his legs already a bit numb from his constant movement.

The slight pain still spread, tormenting him to the point that he could hardly bear it.

"It seems your injury is quite serious," Wanmei said after examining you.

"Is it serious? Is it very serious? Will I become disabled?" Li Ming's leg injury was a problem he had since childhood. Later, his parents found a famous doctor, and just when he was about to recover from the treatment, an unexpected change occurred.

He didn't even have time to ask about the follow-up medication.

Looking at the girl's regretful tone, he was a little puzzled.

He had just felt that she could heal him, but now he suddenly felt that she couldn't do anything at all.

I couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

"Stop teasing him, how are my parents?" Jiang Ruan walked over and looked at them through the lifted legs.

Wan Mei grinned and stood aside, looking at Jiang Ruan. "She's feeling much better. She woke up last night, but she should be asleep again now. Maybe she'll be able to get up and move around tomorrow morning."

"real!"
