Chapter 174: Feel free to make any requests
Xu Yihuan glanced out the window subconsciously; the rain was just as heavy as yesterday and hadn't stopped yet.
Seeing the familiar scene, Xu Yihuan's body trembled subconsciously. She supported herself on the mattress and struggled to sit up straight.
Tan Zhixu saw through Xu Yihuan's intention and helped her up from the bed.
"What's wrong with you?"
How did I get here?
"Brought by an ambulance." Tan Zhi's preface was concise and to the point.
Xu Yihuan remained silent, just staring at Tan Zhixu. After a few seconds, Tan Zhixu gave in first, getting up to open the blinds of Xu Yihuan's hospital room window.
She said in a very soft voice, "It was Pei Yuli who saved you."
Xu Yihuan remained silent.
How did Pei Yuli end up at their construction site?
Even though Xu Yihuan wasn't one to overthink things, she couldn't help but ponder them at this moment.
Since things had already come to this point, Tan Zhixu decided to stop there and explained clearly: "It's like this, do you remember the proposal you showed me yesterday?"
"Um."
"Actually, the land right next to your construction site is exactly the one Pei Yuli was planning to acquire."
"The Jiang family gave Jiang Tingbai and Jiang Jinnan two projects each. Then Jiang Jinnan asked you for help, and Jiang Tingbai asked Pei Yuli for help."
"It seems they went over there yesterday to check on the situation."
That makes sense.
However... she never expected that Pei Yuli and Jiang Tingbai would become friends.
"Where's Jiangjin South?" Xu Yihuan asked, looking up.
At this point, Tan Zhixu's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flickered slightly: "I don't know either."
Jiang Jinnan should already be investigating yesterday's incident. Whether it was an accident or intentional, there will be a result.
Even if Jiang Jinnan doesn't investigate, he will find out the reason.
Xu Yihuan nodded and didn't say anything more. After learning that Pei Yuli had saved her, she felt a little complicated.
Tan Zhixu knew that Xu Yihuan needed time to process this, so he didn't bother her anymore. He just quietly stayed by her side without saying a word.
Perhaps it was good luck, but in any case, Xu Yihuan was protected very well and did not suffer any injuries.
It's just that I'm usually physically weak, and when a heavy object falls on me, the ground at the construction site is uneven.
Xu Yihuan was rubbed and her back was slightly abraded. Coupled with her already weak body, she fainted immediately.
When he woke up, he was fine and could be discharged as long as he took his medication on time.
After tidying up their things, Tan Zhixu helped Xu Yihuan to the door.
As she approached the elevator, Xu Yihuan stopped in her tracks.
"Which ward is he in?"
Xu Yihuan's voice was calm and indifferent; if you didn't listen carefully, you really couldn't tell what she was asking.
"Right next to you."
Pei Yuli was injured, so the treatment he received was naturally no worse than that of Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan stopped in her tracks.
Although she did dislike Pei Yuli, he was, after all, injured because of her...
Moreover...
Xu Yihuan sat on a chair in the hospital corridor, the smell of disinfectant spreading into her nostrils.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yihuan finally helped Tan Zhixu to his feet.
"Let's go see him."
Making this decision felt more exhausting than climbing five flights of stairs.
Although I said I was going to visit him, I couldn't manage a smile on my face.
Tan Zhixu didn't say anything. He put his arm around Xu Yihuan and let her lean most of her weight on him before taking her to Pei Yuli's ward.
The ward offers excellent privacy; you can't hear or see anything from outside.
However, it was in the ward just across the wall.
Jiang Tingbai, who was being thoroughly investigated by Jiang Jinnan, was sitting unharmed in Pei Yuli's hospital room.
She casually picks up an apple and peels it; even the simple act of peeling with her slender fingers is a pleasure to behold.
He asked casually, "How badly are you injured?"
Pei Yuli sat up straight, his hand also receiving an IV drip. Although his face was pale, it wasn't bloodless; in fact, it was even more rosy than Xu Yihuan's.
"Don't worry, we've got it all covered. No one is seriously injured."
"Alright, I'll take care of Xiao Liu for now. Jiang Jinnan, that madman, I wonder if he's suspected something, he's actually investigating this matter?"
They had clearly done it flawlessly, and even the heavens seemed to cooperate with them, sending wind and rain. How could they possibly arouse Jiang Jinnan's suspicion?
The only reason is that Jiang Jinnan is a perverted and suspicious person, and he likes Xu Yihuan, so he has to get to the bottom of things.
Pei Yuli was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "Well, let's get rid of it first, the farther the better. If that doesn't work, we'll just have to keep it a secret forever."
As Pei Yuli spoke, a sinister look appeared on his pale face, making him look nothing like an injured person.
Jiang Tingbai glanced at him a few times but didn't say anything, and stuffed the peeled apple into his mouth.
She gently poked Pei Yuli's bandaged chest and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Pei Yuli winced in pain and slapped Jiang Tingbai's hand hard: "Are you fucking crazy?"
"My injury isn't fake!"
Jiang Tingbai chuckled twice and finally withdrew his hand.
"Don't say I didn't warn you. Now that we've come this far, we need to make sure we take every step carefully, or all our previous efforts will be in vain."
As he spoke, Jiang Tingbai threw the apple core into the trash can and clapped his hands: "If there's nothing else, you should prepare to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible. Otherwise, you can't just watch me, a man who has just come of age, go drinking."
Jiang Tingbai's words sounded extremely innocent. Pei Yuli glared at him and was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Tingbai and Pei Yuli exchanged a glance and tacitly stopped talking.
Xu Yihuan knocked on the door.
Only when someone inside invited her to come in did Xu Yihuan press down the handle, open the door, and go inside.
As soon as the door opened, before Xu Yihuan could even go inside, Jiang Tingbai came out first.
For some reason, Jiang Tingbai didn't greet Xu Yihuan sweetly as usual. He just nodded slightly and quickly left.
Xu Yihuan wasn't in the mood to pay attention to him.
Through the room, Xu Yihuan saw Pei Yuli lying on the hospital bed.
Pei Yuli lay on the bed, his face pale. His chest looked larger than usual, presumably because it was wrapped with gauze.
He must have been hit on the head as well, as the back of his head and forehead were also bandaged.
With Pei Yuli's delicate features, he looked incredibly fragile, which was heartbreaking.
Pei Yuli's gaze followed Xu Yihuan's movements and fell on her.
A slight smile played on his lips as he looked Xu Yihuan up and down, a smile that reached deep into his heart, and even a hint of anticipation, shimmering in his eyes.
But when he met Xu Yihuan's gaze, he pretended to be serious and pursed his lips.
"Xu Yihuan, what are you doing here?"
"Thank you for saving me yesterday. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask."
Xu Yihuan's words were concise and to the point.
Pei Yuli's expectant expression immediately turned to disappointment.
