Just as Jiang Xue was about to explain, Chen Xiaofan revved the engine with a "whoosh".
Before Jiang Xue could even speak, Chen Xiaofan had already strode away.
Ji Chen ignored Chen Xiaofan's words and said, "I'll take you to the hospital."
Jiang Xue stared blankly at Ji Chen. She had originally thought that Ji Chen would despise her for using any means necessary to save her life.
She didn't know why, but she felt not only joy at surviving a disaster, but also a warm feeling.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury. I'll bandage it up when I get home," Jiang Xue said with a smile.
Ji Chen didn't say anything, but walked straight up to Jiang Xue and hugged her tightly.
Seeing Gu Xiaoling rush forward to stop the car, Ji Chen said, "You didn't even look for me right away." He swept his sharp eyes over Gu Xiaoling.
Jiang Xue was so frightened that she huddled in Ji Chen's arms and didn't dare to make a sound for a long time.
Jiang Xue, who had been simply bandaged up, was taken home by Ji Chen.
Jiang Xue sat on the back of the bicycle, noticing the unusually quiet air on the way back. "Thank you for today."
Jiang Xue was truly grateful. How could she not be moved that someone could take out two thousand yuan to redeem her? She even had the thought of continuing to live with Ji Chen like this.
But after she finished speaking, Ji Chen didn't respond for a long time. Jiang Xue asked again tentatively, "Thank you so much for today."
"Don't say thank you, and I'm still very angry about this." Ji Chen rode his bike quickly, not wanting to pay any attention to Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue felt a chill run down her spine. What was this guy angry about? Was it because Aunt Zhou was asking him to bring money to redeem her, and he was unhappy about it?
“This time it was Aunt Zhou who made the decision on her own. I really didn’t know she would call you. I asked Xiaoling to call the police.”
Ji Chen slammed on the brakes, and Jiang Xue, caught off guard, pressed her face tightly against Ji Chen's back.
"What do you think I'm angry about? I'm angry that you didn't just tell me to bring money to exchange for you, but instead risked calling the police."
Ji Chen, still not satisfied with lecturing Jiang Xue with his back to her, got out of the car and faced her, his eyes filled with only seriousness and unquestionable authority.
"Do you know how dangerous it is to call the police? If you angered that kind of person, do you think you'd still be able to talk to me now? If it weren't for Gu Xiaofan, do you think you could have escaped so easily?"
"By the way, Aunt Zhou is also there to help us. It's not that the four of us are incompetent and can't handle a gambler, but one person who is willing to risk their life is better than ten people who value their lives."
Jiang Xue blinked her peach blossom eyes and stared at Ji Chen. She couldn't believe that the man in front of her cared about her to this extent.
Didn't this man used to hate her? He was someone she loathed. How could he have changed so much? She could hardly believe that those words just now came from Ji Chen's mouth.
"No matter what happens in the future, tell me first, okay? Don't act rashly. I know you're greedy and reluctant to spend money, but I am willing to spend it. I think no amount of money is more important than your life."
Ji Chen's expression and gaze almost melted Jiang Xue's heart.
She stared blankly at Ji Chen, as if this was the first time in two lifetimes that he had told her that her life was more important than money.
In her past life, she was a regional manager, and her boss's motto was always, "Work as hard as you can, as long as you don't die."
Furthermore, their lives are insignificant compared to sales performance.
She recalled the previous year when the pandemic was so severe that the Central China region she managed was under lockdown for several months, and naturally, its performance plummeted.
