Chapter 36: The Hard Revenge of Dai Mao
Ji Shian's mouth slowly formed the shape of an "o", and this sound was also very familiar.
As the nurse wheeled the wheelchair over, a familiar figure appeared before my eyes. Unfortunately, there was only one familiar figure: Zhou Xingzhi, standing there, mumbling something inaudible. The other figure, sitting silently in a wheelchair, looked unfamiliar.
No Qin Yinghuai, did she just hear it wrong?
Wait, a wheelchair! No way…
"Brother Huai?!" Ji Shian's eyes widened as he stood up and started to run in that direction. Unsurprisingly, he tripped over his right foot and fell hard.
Zhou Xingzhi stopped talking, stunned, and pointed behind Qin Yinghuai, "Alright, there's no need to contact him now. You can explain it yourself."
Money earned, life spent... Qin Yinghuai suddenly recalled his previous visit to the doctor, and his brows furrowed in frustration at Zhou Xingzhi's choice of words. When he realized the implication, he turned back in surprise, his pupils trembling.
Ji Shi'an knelt on the ground dejectedly with her head down, her expression unclear. Qin Yinghuai stood up and was about to run towards her, but as soon as he stood up, his eyes blurred, the world spun, and he fell back into the wheelchair.
This was what Ji Dongran saw when he came back.
Her cute little assistant knelt helplessly on the ground with a sad expression, as if begging for forgiveness. Her son, whom she had always been proud of, sat back in his wheelchair arrogantly, calm and indifferent. Zhou Xingzhi stood aside with a conflicted look on his face, as if he was in great trouble.
Her shaky sanity still remembered that they were in the hospital. Holding back the scream that was about to burst out, she quickly stepped between the two of them and whispered in a low voice, "There must be a misunderstanding here!"
Qin Yinghuai didn't even realize who was so blind as to stand in the way. He frowned and tilted his head to check on Ji Shian, but his vision was blurry. He said anxiously, "Please make way and help her up first. Zhou Xingzhi!"
Zhou Xingzhi didn't move, his brain seemed to be covered with a plastic bag, and he was in a daze.
From a bottom-up perspective, Ji Dongran's back looked particularly tall at this time. Ji Shian wanted to cry but had no tears, and cried for help: "Sister Ji, help." Her knees hurt so much that she couldn't move.
His IQ slowly climbed to a higher level, and he vaguely realized that many things were wrong. Ji Dongran suddenly came back to his senses from the shock of his son's sudden change of appearance. He reached out to touch Ji Shian but stopped suddenly, and hurriedly called Zhou Xingzhi to call for help.
After a period of chaos, Ji Shian had his second round of the emergency room, and finally got the same wheelchair as his boss, and the two of them sat side by side and ate fruit.
Ji Dongran made the final decision and arranged for them to be hospitalized. No matter how hard they tried to persuade him, it was of no avail. After completing the relevant procedures, the four of them looked at each other in silence. Each of them had different thoughts, and no one spoke for a while.
It was Zhou Xingzhi who broke the silence first. He took out his phone and took photos of Qin Yinghuai and Ji Shian, sighing, "Chengyue's high-level century pictures will definitely appreciate in value later."
Qin Yinghuai weighed the apple in his hand and threw it over without hesitation. He turned his head to look at Ji Shian, who was chewing the apple with a nonchalant expression: "What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with you?" Ji Shi'an looked over calmly and praised him in an exaggerated tone, "You're not hospitalized even though you have a concussion. You're truly worthy of being called the iron-willed Mr. Qin. That's awesome!"
After saying that, he clapped his hands while holding the apple in his mouth.
Ji Dongran looked at Qin Yinghuai in disbelief. Not only did this brat hide the fact that he had a car accident from everyone, but he even had a concussion and didn't want to be hospitalized. "You want to go to heaven?"
The destination is still the West.
Zhou Xingzhi added fuel to the fire: "Don't mention it, I've advised him several times but he just won't listen~"
The situation was unpredictable. He suddenly became the target of public criticism and was promoted to a breakthrough point. Qin Yinghuai felt like a thorn in his back, his heart pounding. He tried to rationalize his behavior: "There is something wrong with this car accident. I suspect there is someone behind. I have asked people to check..." In this situation, it is better to leave the hospital with a large flow of people first and rest in a more private space, which is slightly safer.
Ji Dongran was peeling the apple from Ji Shian's hand when he looked up and said matter-of-factly, "It's not appropriate for the two of you to move now. You should contact the bodyguards."
They surrounded him in three or four circles, and no matter how hard the grasshopper behind him jumped, he couldn't easily break through the human wall.
Qin Yinghuai responded: "Yan Che will handle it."
Ji Shian watched the atmosphere between Ji Dongran and Qin Yinghuai from the side, and tasted it again and again, feeling that something very important had been overlooked by her.
The situation was under control, and it didn't seem like he was needed anymore. Zhou Xingzhi took out his phone and checked the time: "I have a meeting, so I'll be leaving first?"
The three people in the room spoke in unison.
Ji Shian: "Bye, Brother Zhou~" Thank you for your hard work.
Qin Yinghuai: "Be careful." Have a safe trip.
Ji Dongran glared at him with disappointment: "You were like this when you were little, and you are still in a hurry to attend a meeting. Is this how you should be a boyfriend!" What a nasty kid.
Zhou Xingzhi was shocked: "What?"
Ji Shian was bewildered: "Huh?"
Qin Yinghuai was dazed: "Mom?"
His gaze was interrupted, and Ji Dongran tilted his head: "What?"
Ji Shian took the baton from Qin Yinghuai with a dazed look on his face, still holding the small pieces of apple in his hand: "Mom?"
The room was full of young people, and Ji Dongran responded subconsciously: "Eh. Huh?"
Ji Shian recalled the emojis he had seen when browsing Little Red Potato, and he wanted to take them out and weld them on his face: [Cat Covering Its Ears to Steal the Bell.jpg][My Silence Is Deafening.jpg]
The room fell silent again. Zhou Xingzhi stood at the door with a strange expression on his face. After a few seconds of silence, he couldn't help but applaud: "Who said this show is bad? This show is really great!"
Embarrassment, drama, shame, and every little detail of his time with Ji Dongran over the past few days, along with all the outrageous things he'd said, all came flooding back. Ji Shian's face turned from pale to blue and then red, and he finally managed to hold his expression steady, choosing to strike first.
She was heartbroken and pointed at Zhou Xingzhi: "Why didn't you inform me of such an important matter?"
Was he jealous of her comfortable paid leave? All sorts of conspiracy theories swirled in her mind, until she almost believed them herself.
Zhou Xingzhi was shocked. He didn't want to take the blame: "How could you not know?" After working with Qin Yinghuai for so many years, how could it be reasonable that he didn't even know who the former chairman's wife was?
Ji Dongran and Qin Yinghuai looked at each other, and turned their heads to watch the two people performing and fighting.
Ji Shi'an's expression was even more exaggerated than his, but the confusion he wore didn't seem fake. Qin Yinghuai was usually very concerned about protecting his privacy, and she wasn't a spy who wanted to investigate his ancestors.
So… she confidently put her hands on her hips and said, “How should I know?” Then she accidentally touched the wound, and her face twisted in pain: “Ouch—”
Qin Yinghuai, relying on his long arms, reached across the gap between the beds, grasped her subconscious struggle, and soothed her, "It's okay, it's normal that you don't know." He thought for a moment, "When you came, my father had just retired, and the two of them were preparing for a world tour, and they were extremely annoyed with the company."
Ji Shian laughed when he heard it, and winked at Zhou Xingzhi: See, I told you it wasn’t her fault.
Ji Dongran saw that her smug little expression was lively and interesting, completely different from the calm and indifferent look as rumored. At this moment, there was a gentle smile between her eyebrows. He felt very emotional and reached out to smooth the hair that was sticking up beside her face.
Ji Shian looked up warily, she had not forgotten the vengeance of her ahoge. When their eyes were about to meet, she stopped herself and let Ji Dongran touch her.
Don't panic. I won't move unless the enemy does. As long as she plays dumb, no one can hurt her.
Qin Yinghuai knew Ji Shi'an well. Seeing her seemingly hopeless yet forbearing expression, he guessed she'd said something that didn't matter at the time but was now incredibly shocking. So, he followed her lead, pointing fingers at Zhou Xingzhi to help deflect attention: "Why didn't you explain it clearly back then?" That way, Shi'an wouldn't have to endure the embarrassment she shouldn't have to endure.
Ji Shian nodded modestly. Ji Dongran took out his treasured ahoge from his pocket and continued to try grafting.
Zhou Xingzhi was shocked: "Is that even human language?"
When Yan Che* pushed the door open, he saw Qin Yinghuai and Zhou Xingzhi arguing with each other, Ji Shian was watching with great interest, and Ji Dongran was holding Ji Shian's head as if studying something.
He pushed his glasses up, stepped back, closed the door, and opened it.
Good, the picture is normal this time.
A new breakthrough appeared, and Qin Yinghuai stopped entertaining himself about Ji Shian's great sacrifice. He glanced at Ji Shian, who was happy again, and subconsciously looked up at her head, but saw nothing.
"Where's your ahoge?" Shouldn't it be swaying automatically without wind at this time?
Ji Shian's smile froze, and Ji Dongran closed his eyes in grief.
What were the three of them trying to achieve by playing dumb and talking nonsense for so long? Wasn't it just to make Shi An less embarrassed? Seeing that he was finally happy, they had to hit him right in the nick of time.
Ji Dongran looked at him quietly and shook the treasured aho-man in her hand: He really is worthy of being her eldest son.
Qin Yinghuai's pupils trembled, his mouth opened and closed, and finally he looked at Yan Che and said dryly, "Is everything taken care of?"
Yan Che nodded. "Don't worry, everything has been arranged. Su Qi is following the lead of the driver's family. The driver's family has a son who is in high school and a daughter who is in college."
"My son got into a fight with a classmate and ended up in the hospital. The other party demanded a huge sum of money, saying if he couldn't pay, they would marry the driver's daughter to the classmate's uncle, an old man. The driver refused and ended up in the hospital with the fight too..."
While reporting on his work, he observed Ji Shian's situation with his peripheral vision.
Didn't you say you were going on vacation? Why did you end up in the hospital, and with Director Qin...
Yan Che stuttered. With the last bit of stubbornness of a worker, he reported the relevant situation and wrote down the follow-up tasks assigned by Qin Yinghuai.
Before leaving, he looked at Ji Shian worriedly, finally having the chance to express his concern: "Which uninhabited island did you just come back from?"
There was a bandage on his head, his arms were covered with bruises and were not bandaged to allow for ventilation, and his knees also seemed to be seriously injured. He looked completely devastated and pitiful.
Ji Shian lifted a corner of the quilt to clear his name, pointing at Zhou Xingzhi who had slipped to the door: "That one over there is the uninhabited island we are going to."
Yan Che looked in the direction of the fingertip and saw that Zhou Xingzhi's black skin had faded slightly. Seeing Yan Che's confident smile.
Ji Shian added: "It's been a few days since I came back, and the paint is starting to peel off."
Zhou Xingzhi: ...
