Chapter 79
In the ward, the instrument was making a beeping sound. Gu Cunxi was lying beside him, her face as pale as a piece of white paper. Jiang Rao took her hand, which was cold and without any warmth, and his eyes were full of heartache.
The door was pushed open and the doctor walked in. He looked at the medical record in his hand and said with displeasure: "Fortunately, the wound is not infected..."
Jiang Rao's heart relaxed a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he listened to the doctor continue, "But the right hand is in a serious condition. What are you family members doing? Letting a patient act like this? Do you understand the seriousness of the problem?"
"Sorry to trouble you. I will take good care of her!" Jiang Rao pursed his lips and paused: "Doctor...what is the chance that her right hand will have sequelae?"
"I can't give you an accurate answer on that..." The man looked away from the medical records. "The patient's recovery during hospitalization will directly affect their future life. Judging from the current situation on their right hand, there's a high probability that there will be sequelae!"
"Then, what are the specific sequelae..." Jiang Rao asked with a complicated expression
"For example, traumatic arthritis, limb dysfunction, muscle atrophy, etc..."
Jiang Rao raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, then turned to look at the unconscious person, his eyes full of helplessness.
…
In the community garden, Xiao Peiyin sat on a bench, rubbing the middle finger of his left hand repeatedly, which was empty.
Just before leaving, she secretly glanced at Gu Cunxi for the last time, and that glance made her heart ache.
She had a beautiful dream and now she wakes up...
Raindrops gradually fell outside, and in a blink of an eye, it rained heavily, and my whole body was soaked
"Girl?" An old man came over with an umbrella: "It's raining so hard, why don't you go home?" The old man smiled kindly.
Xiao Peiyin raised her head and looked at the old man, her eyes were full of mist, and she suddenly realized that she had no home anymore.
The old man took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the rain off her face. His wrinkled old hand brushed her cheek with the loving care of an elder, which made her nose swell and the tears that had been held back for a long time burst out at this moment.
"Girl, this is a big deal, but you can get over it if you endure it!"
"Really... can I get through?" She touched her fingers and looked at the old man.
"It's OK!" the old man nodded firmly and said, "Just like this rain, it will stop eventually, right?"
"Thank you..." Xiao Peiyin pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled reluctantly.
"Don't sit here like an idiot, kid, go back home."
The old man walked away with an umbrella, leaving the handkerchief to her.

Chen Feng was in a good mood after what happened just now, with a smile that he couldn't hide. As long as he thought of Gu Cunxi's painful face, he felt happy inside, with a sense of pleasure after revenge. As a man, he could not tolerate such betrayal, and he could not accept that he actually lost to a woman.
He suddenly wanted to see what expression Xiao Peiyin would have if she knew that Gu Cunxi had seen the photo.
If words can tear them apart, it's not cruel at all, she was the one who betrayed first
After a while, there was a sound of keys turning at the door.
Chen Feng raised his eyebrows and put away his smile: "Where have you been? It's raining heavily outside, and you don't even have an umbrella. You're soaked." He turned and went to the bathroom to get a towel: "Wipe it off."
"No need." Xiao Peiyin passed her and returned to her room, locking the door.

It was getting dark outside, and the person on the bed was lying still with no sign of waking up. Jiang Rao sighed as he looked at her.
She was just one step late, and she had no chance anymore. After today, Jiang Rao knew that no one could shake Xiao Peiyin's position in her heart...
Just for a small diamond ring, she would even risk her life. I remember the last time she did the same thing and drove drunk.
"Gu Cunxi, what's so good about her?" Jiang Rao asked softly, holding her hand.
At night, Gu Cunxi woke up from his coma and moved his fingers.
"Gu Cunxi! Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Does your right hand still hurt?" Jiang Rao raised his hand to smooth out her hair. "The doctor just checked you. Fortunately, the wound is not infected."
"You can't mess around anymore, understand?!"
She moved her body, feeling unbearable pain all over her body. Her vision was a little blurry, and she couldn't even see Jiang Rao's face clearly. She managed to speak with all her strength: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much."
"Jiang Rao, can you do me a favor?"
Jiang Rao was a little confused, knowing that it must be related to Xiao Peiyin. She was silent for two seconds: "What's the matter? Tell me." She crossed her arms, leaned back in her chair, and frowned slightly.
“I know you’re a lawyer.”
"so what?"
"I need a report on the injury..."
There was a brief silence in the ward. Jiang Rao didn't respond immediately. He thought for a long time before nodding: "I can help you, but... don't you want to call the police?"
For a moment, Gu Cunxi fell into deep thought. She didn't have enough evidence, and there was no surveillance equipment in the underground garage. She had no evidence, and Chen Feng would never admit it. Besides, he was from the Legal Affairs Department. He could cover up those major criminal cases, not to mention this matter. She didn't have the ability to fight back yet.
"I don't have any evidence, there are some things I haven't thought through yet."
"Actually... the evidence is in my car."
"What did you say?"
Jiang Rao concluded: "What happened that day happened in front of my car. I had an appointment to discuss a case with someone that night, and halfway through the car, I realized that I had forgotten to take an important document. Later, I went back to get the document, but I didn't completely turn off the car system before getting out of the car. Unexpectedly, I happened to capture the whole process on video."
"Don't worry, I'll export the evidence and hand it over to you later. Since you don't plan to call the police for the time being, I'll find someone to do an injury assessment for you. Although this doesn't conform to normal procedures, I haven't spent years in the legal field for nothing. Leave it to me."
She didn't expect Jiang Rao to have evidence in his hands. This was the only good news she had heard in the past two days, and the stone in her heart slowly fell to the ground.
"Thanks…"
"Thank me for what?" Jiang Rao tilted his head and smiled.
"help me!"
"Then... I helped you so much, how are you going to thank me?" Jiang Rao put away his smile and said with a serious face, "Gu Cunxi, from last night to today, it's really terrible. We are not even friends, but I have been with you going crazy until now. It feels like a dream when I think about it."
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble. How do you want me to thank you? As long as I can do it, I will agree." She leaned against the bed and half sat up, her voice hoarse.
"You owe me something first! But I hope you can promise me that you won't risk your life for others anymore."
"Do you know that your behavior is dangerous?"
Gu Cunxi pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Last night I dropped work and raced against death to save you, but today, for her, you ran out of the hospital, jumped into the water, and got wet in the rain. Did you know that you have three broken ribs in your chest? Your right hand is a comminuted fracture, and you just had surgery to reduce and suture it. If the wound gets infected, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Have you ever thought about why she's worth it? If she really loves you, how could she have the heart to hurt you and ignore your injuries? Even if she wants to break up, she shouldn't be so cruel and heartless. Maybe she loves you, but have you ever thought about it? She has a family after all. As long as she wants, she can return to her family at any time. Don't forget, she's a mother. Do you think she really can give up everything for you?"
Every word Jiang Rao said stung her. Thinking of everything that happened today, she felt a chill in her heart.
She volunteered
Chen Feng's words lingered in my ears, along with his smug laughter.
Although she didn't want to believe it, the photo was more real than anything else. She fell asleep on Chen Feng's shoulder, with red marks on her neck and the ring he gave her on her hand.
They hugged and kissed before parting, but in the blink of an eye they returned to her and Chen Feng's home...
She told herself that Chen Feng was on a business trip and was simply lying to her. Sure enough, nothing was real; everything was a lie! She was just a source of comfort outside of her frustrated marriage. As long as Chen Feng said a few nice words, she would leave him at any time and go back...
"Indeed... it's not worth it!" She laughed at herself.
Jiang Rao was surprised for several seconds and couldn't react. She didn't expect that Gu Cunxi didn't refute her this time. She was a little speechless for a moment, and after calming down, she said: "It's worth it if it can wake you up after getting caught in the rain..."
"What are your plans for the future?"
There was silence in the ward for a while. Gu Cunxi pondered for a long time: "I plan to leave here!"
Jiang Rao was stunned and opened his mouth to say something.
Say something to keep her
"Is it because of her?"
Silence replaced Gu Cunxi's answer. In fact, she didn't need to ask because the answer was already clear.
"If you're leaving, what's the point of an injury report?" Jiang Rao asked again.
"Just leaving temporarily!" she said firmly.
Jiang Rao wanted to say something more, but finally kept silent.
Relatively silent
After a while, she picked up the phone beside her, found Xu Shengnan's number, and dialed it. A familiar voice came from the other end: "Cunxi, I finally waited for your call. How have you been these past few months?"
"Fortunately..." Gu Cunxi paused: "Mr. Xu, I have already thought about what you said before!"
"I do!"
The person on the phone was silent for a while: "I have been waiting for your call. Now that you have made up your mind, I will wait for you here."
"I'll take care of everything on this side within a month!"
"no problem!"
Hang up the phone
Her eyes gradually turned cold
I hope Chen Feng is really worth you giving up me
"Are you really leaving?" Jiang Rao couldn't help but ask again while sitting on the side.
"Um"
"Will you come back?"
"meeting"
"Then I'll wait for you!" Jiang Rao smiled.
Her tone was very gentle when she said this, and Gu Cunxi was stunned. She lowered her head and remained silent on the hospital bed. Jiang Rao smiled to avoid embarrassment and continued: "Although we have only been together for two days..."
"But everything we've experienced in the past two days, I think it's enough for us to become friends. You forgot that you still owe me a favor, so..."
"I'll wait for you to come back and give it back to me!"
Gu Cunxi smiled and said, "I will pay you back what I owe you!"
