Lu Li hadn't actually eaten, but he still nodded: "I've eaten."

Zheng Xiao pulled him to sit on the sofa in an annoyed manner and gave him another pair of chopsticks.

"Next time you want to lie to me, be more careful, because that could very well be the reason I fire you."

She hates it when people lie to her.

Lu Li said softly, "Actually, I'll have time to eat while you're on your show later."

Zheng Xiao expressed her incomprehension: "I'm hungry now, why should I wait a while? Do you think I can't afford to feed you? Don't make it sound like I'm skimping on my employees' food."

Lu Li was used to being scolded by Zheng Xiao.

At first, he would retort, but after what happened that night, everything changed completely.

Jiang Zao silently watched the two bicker.

"Tsk tsk, are you two ever going to stop? It's just a meal, why do you have to force-feed me with your lovey-dovey stuff? How am I supposed to eat if I'm stuffed with dog food?"

Zheng Xiao used to tease her, but now she finally got the chance to get her revenge.

Lu Li is a man of few words, but when eating, he deliberately picks out the side dishes that Zheng Xiao doesn't like.

Zheng Xiao glanced at him and asked, "Do I look like the kind of person who would mistreat employees?"

Lu Li: "?"

Completely bewildered.

To be honest, with his looks that rival those of top male stars, the contrast of him showing such a bewildered expression is quite endearing.

Zheng Xiao placed her palm on Lu Li's face, pushing his gaze aside.

"Lu Li, you know it's shameful to act cute? Eat properly. If I see any haters saying I'm mistreating my assistant, watch out, I'll deal with you."

Lu Li couldn't help but chuckle, saying nothing, but during the meal, she still picked out the foods that Zheng Xiao didn't like to eat.

Jiang had witnessed everything from her hospital bed.

Surprisingly, this man, despite his seemingly cold-hearted appearance, is incredibly considerate in his actions.

After finishing his meal, Lu Li took all the trash with him, leaving the ward empty.

Jiang Zao put the computer aside and went to the ICU.

Madam Fu and Fu Yinhe were still there.

Surprisingly, Xia Chuwei was also there.

“Mom, Aci probably won’t wake up tonight, so you don’t need to stay here. You should go back and rest with your second sister. If Aci wakes up and you get sick from exhaustion, he’ll feel guilty,” Jiang Zao advised.

Madam Fu nodded: "Alright, I'll come again tomorrow morning."

Fu Yinhe finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Zaozao, it's a good thing you came. I tried to persuade Mom for a long time, but she wouldn't leave. Your words are worth ten of mine."

Madam Fu lightly patted Fu Yinhe's hand: "How old are you? Still jealous of your sister-in-law?"

Fu Yinhe was finally relieved to see that her mother still had the energy to joke.

"Alright, Mom, let's go first. Let Jin Feng keep watch over Yan Ci here, and Zao Zao over there..." Fu Yinhe looked at Xia Chuwei beside her.

"Chuwei, why don't you come and take care of your aunt tonight? She's quite badly injured, so please be careful while you're looking after her. If anything happens, call the doctor immediately, or call me."

Xia Chuwei: "..."

She originally felt that it would be inappropriate for her not to step forward after such a big incident in the Fu family, and she also wanted to take this opportunity to ease the tension between herself and Madam Fu.

After all, as a true relative of the Fu family, she was ordered not to enter the Fu family's gate, a matter that had been ridiculed by people in the circle for a long time.

She didn't even dare to attend some banquets, for fear of seeing the mocking looks from those wealthy ladies and socialites.

But now they're making her serve Jiang Zao, that burden?

Why should I?!

"Mom, I just bought the copyrights to some works, and I still need to organize and adapt them to some extent. I might have to work overtime tonight, so..."

The implication was that she didn't have time to take care of Jiang Zao.

Fu Yinhe's face darkened: "My Jiang family isn't going bankrupt just because you work overtime for one night. Although the online game project is being pushed forward with all our might, the other modeling hasn't been completed yet. The scripts you bought are temporarily useless. It's not a big deal if we don't work overtime for a while. Or is it that I, as your mother-in-law, can't get you to do anything?"

This is a bit too much to ask, Xia Chuwei quickly shook her head: "No... Mom, that's not what I meant, I..."

"It's settled then. You stay here to take care of your aunt." Fu Yinhe was somewhat like the old lady Fu in her youth, assertive and brooking no argument.

Jiang had already experienced all of this in his previous life.

However, Jiang Zao had been helpful to the Jiang family in her previous life, so Fu Yinhe treated her quite well. Although they weren't exactly like mother and daughter, they were definitely a model of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships in the industry.

Everything changed completely when Xia Chuwei became Fu Yinhe's daughter-in-law. It's clear that Fu Yinhe is extremely dissatisfied with Xia Chuwei.

After Madam Fu and Fu Yinhe left, Jiang Jinfeng came over and said to Xia Chuwei, "I'll trouble you to take care of your aunt tonight."

With just one sentence, Xia Chuwei shut down all the words she wanted to say about complaining and acting cute.

Jiang Zao was in a great mood at the moment.

"hiss!"

She frowned slightly, pretending to be in great pain.

Although Jiang Jinfeng hadn't seen Jiang Zao's injuries with his own eyes, he had heard a lot about them from his mother and grandmother.

Besides, that was an explosion; how could the injuries not be serious?

"Chuwei, why don't you hurry up and help your aunt back to the ward?" Jiang Jinfeng urged.

Jiang had been standing still, extending a hand to wait for Xia Chuwei to come and help her.

Xia Chuwei gritted her teeth and walked over. Jiang Zao treated her like a eunuch leading the way, placing his hand on her wrist as they walked step by step toward the ward.

"Can't you hurry up and leave?" Xia Chuwei couldn't help but urge.

Jiang Zao: "I'm badly injured and can't walk fast."

Xia Chuwei: "..."

All I could do was accompany Jiang Zao as she slowly walked back to the ward.

What should have been a few minutes' walk took them a full half hour.

She was still wearing sky-high heels, and now her feet and heels were aching, and she really wanted to sit down or lie down to rest.

However, just as Xia Chuwei helped Jiang Zao onto the hospital bed, she hadn't even reached the sofa yet.

Then Jiang Zao suddenly spoke up: "I'm thirsty."

Xia Chuwei turned around and yelled, "Can't you get some water yourself if you're thirsty?"

This is how the two of them have always gotten along since childhood.

Jiang Zao was still lying on her side, but she was quite comfortable, with a look of contentment on her face.

He said, "My injuries are severe, and I should not move around."

Xia Chuwei gritted her teeth in hatred: "You're really lucky, even an explosion couldn't kill you."

Jiang Zao laughed: "There's nothing I can do. The King of Hell won't take me, and you're still alive. How could I bear to die?"

She paused, then repeated what she had just said: "I'm thirsty. If you don't want to move, then I'll have to ask Jiang Jinfeng to get me some water."

In one sentence, he directly grasped Xia Chuwei's Achilles' heel.

Despite the pain in her foot, Xia Chuwei poured a cup of hot water for Xia Chuwei.

Jiang Zao: "It's too hot, how am I supposed to drink this?"

Xia Chuwei went and got another cup.

Jiang Zao: "It's so cold, what if my stomach hurts after drinking it?"
