Fu Chen leaned weakly against the head of the bed, his face pale, but his eyes were very stubborn: "Mom, I was injured while saving her, isn't it normal for her to come to see me?"

Mother Fu was furious, but she was helpless. Seeing her son like this, what else could she say?

Ning Nanxue put down her phone with no expression on her face.

A life-saving grace? She sneered. If Fu Chen really died, it would actually be a good thing for her. However, since he was not dead and asked to see her, she would go and see what tricks he could play.

Jiang Tingchen came over, a little worried: "Xue'er, Fu Chen and his mother are not easy to deal with. I will go with you."

Ning Nanxue shook her head and said calmly, "No need, Tingchen. I can go by myself."

Jiang Tingchen was about to say something when Ning Nanxue interrupted him: "Don't worry, I'm a director of the Fu Group now. They don't dare to do anything to me. If things really get out of hand, am I really afraid of them? At worst, I can just say I'm here to express my condolences to the employees on behalf of the company."

Seeing her insistence, Jiang Tingchen had no choice but to give up: "Okay, call me anytime if you have anything."

Ning Nanxue nodded, picked up her bag, turned and left.

Hospital, VIP ward.

Ning Nanxue pushed the door open and was greeted by the smell of disinfectant.

In the ward, Fu's mother sat by the bed, her face haggard, but her eyes still sharp. Xu Zhiru stood beside her, holding a glass of water, carefully handing it to Fu Chen.

Fu Chen leaned against the head of the bed with gauze wrapped around his head. His face was pale, but he looked in good spirits.

When she saw Ning Nanxue come in, Fu's mother's face instantly darkened. Just as she was about to speak, Ning Nanxue spoke first.

"Mr. Fu, I heard that you were injured. I came to see you on behalf of the company." Ning Nanxue spoke in a cold and businesslike tone, as if she really came to visit an employee.

Mother Fu was choked by Ning Nanxue's official attitude and swallowed back the reprimand that was on the tip of her tongue.

Fu Chen's eyes lit up, as if he saw hope: "Nanxue, you're here..."

He struggled to sit up, but Xu Zhiru held him down: "Ah Chen, don't move, be careful of the wound."

Fu Chen, however, acted as if he didn't see Xu Zhiru. He stared straight at Ning Nanxue: "Nanxue, I'm fine. How about you? Are you hurt?"

Xu Zhiru's hand holding the water cup was trembling slightly, and her nails were almost digging into the flesh.

She suppressed her anger and forced a smile that was uglier than crying: "Ms. Ning, you're here. Ah Chen has been very worried about you..."

Ning Nanxue didn't even look at her, but just looked at Fu Chen, her tone still cold: "I'm fine. Mr. Fu, have a good rest. There are still many things waiting for you to deal with in the company."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Fu Chen's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by another emotion.

He looked at Ning Nanxue and said anxiously, "Nanxue, I know you are still angry with me, but... I really mean it this time..."

"Fu Chen." Ning Nanxue interrupted him, "You should take good care of your injuries. We can talk about other things later."

After saying that, she turned and left without any reluctance.

Xu Zhiru looked at Ning Nanxue's back as she left, and the resentment in her eyes almost overflowed.

She walked to Fu Chen and said softly, "Ah Chen, don't be angry. Miss Ning...she may still be angry."

Fu Chen seemed not to hear her words. He just stared at the door with empty eyes.

Seeing Fu Chen like this, Mother Fu was furious. She pointed at Xu Zhiru and said angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Go and stop Ning Nanxue!"

Xu Zhiru was startled by Fu's mother's yelling. She quickly put down the water cup and stumbled out without caring about her high heels. She looked even more flustered in the unique echo of the hospital corridor.

"Ning Nanxue, stop right there!" Xu Zhiru's voice echoed in the empty corridor, sharp and piercing, attracting the attention of passing patients and nurses.

Ning Nanxue stopped, turned around slowly, crossed her arms, and looked at her calmly, her eyes cold and a faint smile on her lips: "Vice President Xu, is there anything else?"

Xu Zhiru looked at Ning Nanxue's indifferent face. Even her delicate makeup could not hide the jealousy and panic in her eyes. The anger in her heart could no longer be suppressed and erupted like a volcano.

"Ning Nanxue, don't be so proud! Ah Chen is just temporarily deceived by you. He will see your true face sooner or later! You are a vicious woman. You don't deserve Ah Chen's love at all!" Xu Zhiru's voice was sharp and a little hysterical. She no longer had the gentleness and consideration she had shown in front of Fu Chen in the past.

Ning Nanxue chuckled softly, her eyes filled with mockery, as if she were looking at a clown. "Vice President Xu, you'd better take care of yourself first. Don't forget, your current situation in the company is not very good."

"You!" Xu Zhiru was so angry that she was shaking all over and almost couldn't breathe. She took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down.

If I confront Ning Nanxue head-on now, I will be the only one who suffers.

Xu Zhiru put on a pitiful expression, tears welling up in her eyes: "Ms. Ning, I know you're still angry with Chen, but he's injured now, can't you...can't you spend more time with him? He really needs you..."

Ning Nanxue raised an eyebrow, looking at Xu Zhiru's poor acting skills, and sneered in her heart. This woman is really flexible.

"Vice President Xu, you're talking as if President Fu and I have some special relationship." Ning Nanxue said lightly, "I'm just here on behalf of the company to visit the injured employee and fulfill my obligations. As for accompanying him, I think Vice President Xu is more suitable than me."

"I..." Xu Zhiru was choked speechless by Ning Nanxue.

Ning Nanxue looked at Xu Zhiru's frustrated face and felt very happy. She was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back.

"Oh, by the way, Vice President Xu," Ning Nanxue looked at her with a smile, "Since you want me to accompany President Fu so much, it's not impossible..."

Xu Zhiru's eyes lit up, as if she saw hope.

"As long as you kneel down and beg me, I will agree to you." Ning Nanxue said word by word, her tone full of teasing.

Xu Zhiru's face turned pale in an instant. She widened her eyes and looked at Ning Nanxue in disbelief.

"Ning Nanxue, you...don't go too far!" Xu Zhiru said gritting her teeth.

"Too much?" Ning Nanxue tilted her head and blinked innocently, "How did I go too far? You were the one who said you wanted me to accompany Mr. Fu. I'm giving you a chance."

"You..." Xu Zhiru was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she could do nothing.

Ning Nanxue looked at her with a playful look in her eyes. She knew that Xu Zhiru would do anything for Fu Chen.

"Well, Vice President Xu, have you considered it?" Ning Nanxue urged, "My patience is limited."
