Jiang Si nodded. "Yes, we're done talking."
"Okay, let's go then."
Jiang Si looked at her suspiciously, "Aren't you going in to take a look?"
Since we're already here, we bought so much stuff.
I ended up standing in the bathroom for more than ten minutes. It would have been a shame not to check on me.
"No." Chris hesitated for a moment, but ultimately shook her head.
However, the two had only walked a few steps out of the bathroom when she couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Is he alright?"
Seeing the hesitation on her face, Jiang Si said honestly, "I'm not sure either. He didn't explain in detail, but judging from his expression, it seemed..."
There's no need to say anything more.
Because when Chris heard this, her body reacted faster than her mind.
In the ward, Uncle Da is currently reapplying medicine to Chi Heng.
The medicine had already been applied.
But Chi Heng was in such a hurry to pull the blanket up that the movement was too big and aggravated his wound.
"Bang!"
Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open.
It wasn't a kick, it's just that Chris's movements were too exaggerated.
The sound of the door popping open startled Uncle Da, who was focused on treating his wounds, and Chi Heng, who was resting with his eyes closed.
The two were stunned for a long time before they could react.
Until Chris's gaze fell on his scarred back.
Unlike China, where there is strict separation between men and women, these concepts are not found in Chris's dictionary.
While the two were still in a daze, she had already walked to the bedside.
Her eyes were fixed on Chi Heng's back. "Didn't you say your asthma was acting up and you needed to rest? How could this happen?"
Before Chi Heng could speak, she asked again, "Who hit this? Was it one of those two people outside?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chris turned and walked towards the door.
"Chris!"
Chi Heng stopped him, saying, "This is my family matter! You can't interfere!"
He said you can't, not that you shouldn't.
In Chris's view, these two sentences are fundamentally different.
At the same time, she also sensed something was off about those words.
"Your mother sent someone to do it, didn't she?"
She had met Chi Heng's mother, and to be honest, she didn't like the woman at all.
She used to think that Chi's mother was so strict with him.
It is because of deep love that one is so critical.
But since coming to China, I have truly experienced the local culture.
Especially after learning the saying, "Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them," she became deeply aware of it.
Chi Heng's mother may not have loved him at all.
She only saw him as a convenient tool.
"Is it because of the arranged marriage?" After thinking it over, Chris felt that this was the only reason.
She received the news of the marriage alliance between the two families a week ago.
Chris had mixed feelings after hearing the news.
After all, she had liked Chi Heng for many years, and deep down, she still held a sliver of hope for him.
But out of respect, she still told Chi Heng about it.
Unsurprisingly, Chi Heng refused once again.
He added that he would handle the matter well.
But he never came to the embassy again after that day.
With this in mind, Chris was almost certain.
These injuries on his body must have stemmed from the engagement.
Chris remained silent for quite a while, just when Chi Heng thought she wouldn't say anything more.
Chris calmly uttered a single sentence.
The message was very short, only five words.
Its power is no less than a thunderclap from a clear sky.
...
Jiang Si was unaware of what happened in the ward later.
She sat on the bench downstairs for a while, and seeing that Chris hadn't come down, she roughly figured it out.
Jiang Si was very busy for the next few days.
Surprisingly, Secretary Yan's punishment notice came much faster than she had expected.
As expected, due to insufficient evidence, it was impossible to prove that Secretary Tan's actions were instigated by Secretary Yan.
In addition, Secretary Yan's health condition is indeed very poor.
After taking all factors into consideration, the higher authorities ultimately transferred Secretary Yan out of the unit under the pretext of medical retirement.
Of course, this matter will not end so easily.
After all, a life was involved.
For this reason, a special team was assigned to keep an eye on him 24 hours a day.
Once he slips up, all the old and new grievances will have to be settled.
That day, as soon as Jiang Si stepped out of the office building, she saw Chi Heng and Chris arrive together.
To call it a "one" might not be entirely accurate.
His gaze swept between the two of them, finally settling on their clasped hands.
Jiang Si's voice betrayed her surprise, "You two... are you together?"
