Five hours later, Fu Yanci was admitted to the ICU.

The doctor's explanation was: "The next 24 hours are the most critical time. Whether Master Fu can wake up depends on his own willpower."

It means the doctor has done everything he could.

When the old master of the Fu family had his accident, the doctor said the same thing, but he didn't make it and passed away.

Now it's her son, and he's doing the same thing.

Madam Fu swayed, but was supported by Jiang Zao who was standing next to her.

"Madam, you must hold on at this time. The Fu family still needs you."

She didn't know if Fu Yanci would become an idiot in this lifetime, but the Fu family was a good choice for her.

Anyway, she had no intention of living a harmonious life with anyone again. Since God had given her a second chance, she had plenty of things to do, and wasting time on matters of love and sex was the most boring choice.

If Fu Yanci dies, then she can naturally become a widow, and perhaps even establish a persona of unwavering devotion.

If Fu Yanci becomes mentally unstable, she can still be a widow and treat it like taking care of a child. As long as it doesn't affect her career, that's fine.

If Fu Yanci is lucky enough to recover completely, then she can have a marriage of convenience like she did with Jiang Jinfeng in her previous life. The two of them can live a peaceful and stable life without interfering with each other internally and giving each other face in public. That would be quite nice.

Madam Fu was unaware of Jiang Zao's plans; she only knew that Jiang was a kind and loyal girl, and she was very glad that she had agreed to the decision to change her marriage partner.

"Yes, you're right. I need to be even stronger now." Madam Fu instantly perked up and stopped refusing to eat.

Seeing that her mother was finally willing to eat, Fu Yinhe breathed a sigh of relief and gave Jiang Zao a knowing smile.

"Zaozao, thank you."

Jiang Zao was originally her chosen daughter-in-law, but now she has become her brother's wife. She hopes that Xia Chuwei can be as sensible and considerate as Jiang Zao, so that she can have peace of mind.

...

24 hours passed quickly.

Fu Yanci pulled through.

However, his IQ dropped to that of a three or four-year-old, and he would cry for his older sister as soon as he opened his eyes.

Madam Fu, Fu Yinhe, Jiang Jinfeng, Xia Chuwei, and Xia's parents were all present, watching as Fu Yanci held onto Jiang Zao tightly.

"elder sister."

"Sister, I'm thirsty."

Fu Yanci was seriously injured. He had just woken up and was still unable to move easily. The only part of his body he could move was his hands.

"Master Fu cannot drink water or eat yet," the doctor reminded him.

Jiang Zao couldn't break free, so she could only use her other hand to dip a cotton swab in water and moisten Fu Yanci's lips.

"Yanci, be good. You can't drink water now. It will hurt your wound if you drink water. Let's bear with it, okay?" Jiang had adopted a child in her previous life and was experienced in coaxing children, so she treated Fu Yanci like a three or four-year-old child.

Fortunately, he didn't become an idiot; his IQ just dropped and he became like a child, which saved a lot of trouble.

After coaxing Fu Yanci to sleep, Jiang Zao and the others quietly left the ward.

Madam Fu held Jiang Zao's hand again, "Child, you've worked so hard."

He then turned to the others and announced, "From now on, Jiang Zao will be the third wife of the Fu family, and I will give her 10% of the Fu Group's shares as an additional dowry."

Xia Chuwei looked at Madam Fu with shock and disbelief.

Why was she constantly harassed by this old woman in her past life, but now that it's Jiang, she's been treated like a treasure and even given shares in the Fu family business?

Jiang Jinfeng quickly changed his tune, looking at Jiang Zao: "Congratulations, Auntie."

Although they were relatives, he and Jiang Zao had almost become husband and wife, so he had to call her "aunt" firstly to avoid suspicion, and secondly to put his grandmother at ease.

In this way, he and Jiang Zao could still get along as relatives from then on.

Jiang Zao had been husband and wife with Jiang Jinfeng for decades in her previous life. Although they were husband and wife in name only, they still understood each other. When Jiang Jinfeng called her "Auntie," she understood what he was thinking.

Jiang Zao nodded slightly to him, which was considered an acknowledgment of her nephew.

Fu Yinhe glanced at Xia Chuwei, who was still lost in thought, and frowned slightly.

This daughter-in-law is so clueless.

“Chuwei, you and Zaozao are sisters in your parents’ home, but in your husband’s family, she is your elder. Shouldn’t you call her that?” Fu Yinhe reminded her.

Jiang Zao raised her almond-shaped eyes slightly. She and Xia Chuwei had fought for a lifetime in their previous life, and in this life, she had just been reborn and had been tricked by Xia Chuwei again. But it didn't matter, considering that Xia Chuwei would be her junior in the future.

According to the Fu family's rules, Xia Chuwei had to kowtow to her and greet her during festivals, which made her feel relieved just thinking about it.

Xia Chuwei's lips twitched slightly, and after a long while, she managed to squeeze out two words through her teeth: "Auntie."

The voice was very soft, but Jiang heard it early.

ah.

That felt great.

Indeed, one's own happiness must be built upon the suffering of others.

Jiang Zao: "Hey!"

They agreed so readily.

The hospital couldn't keep too many people, so after this simple family reunion ceremony, Xia's parents left, as did Jiang Jinfeng and Xia Chuwei. Fu Yinhe, worried about Madam Fu's health, persuaded her to go back home after much pleading.

Jiang Zao was left behind to take care of Fu Yanci.

Of course, she did it voluntarily.

She needs a quiet place to plan her life properly, and the hospital is a good choice.

Fortunately, Fu Yanci's ward was a VIP suite, with a sofa, refrigerator, TV, and internet access in the outer room, which was even more comfortable than a hotel.

She was making notes on her phone's notes app, completely oblivious to the passage of time. When she looked up again, it was pitch black outside the window. Only when she got closer could she see the lights of thousands of homes.

What she didn't see was that not far behind her, there floated an invisible and intangible spirit.

Fu Yanci never expected that one second he was at the scene of the car accident, and the next second he regained consciousness, only to become a ghost with his soul separated from his body. Moreover, the person accompanying him in the ward was the same person who had struggled to pull him out of the car during the accident.

Jiang Zao.

He floated over, trying to touch Jiang Zao, but passed right through her body.

"Jiang Zao".

"Jiang Zao!"

He called out twice in a row, and finally realized that Jiang Zao could neither see him nor hear his voice.

Jiang Zao put away her phone, stretched, turned around and went to the inner ward. She walked to the bedside, bent down and touched Fu Yanci's forehead.

"Hmm, no fever."

"Yanci, be good. I'm going out to eat now and I'll be back in a little while. Don't cry when you wake up, okay?"

Jiang Zao pulled the blanket up a little, glanced at Fu Yanci's face, and couldn't help but touch it.

"It's a pity that such a handsome face will only have the intelligence of a three or four-year-old from now on. But we can just treat him as another son. It's not bad to have such a handsome son."

Fu Yanci, who was floating to the side: "!"

Is this the IQ of a three- or four-year-old?

Is this a sequela of a car accident?

Jiang Zao actually treats him like a son? They are clearly...

Before Fu Yanci could react, his soul was forced to drift out of the ward with Jiang Zao.
