“Ah Jing had to go back to Chengdu for work, so I can go by myself.”
Su Yinwan gritted her teeth, stood up, and went into the living room with Grandpa Su.
"Xiaoqin, quickly bring a first-aid kit, Xiaowan is injured."
"You're here! What happened? Did you fall?"
When Aunt Qin saw Su Yinwan limping in, she quickly wiped the water off her hands and ran to get the medicine box.
"I didn't see the steps clearly outside and accidentally fell."
Aunt Qin took the medicine box and squatted down in front of Su Yinwan.
She wore a white long dress today.
The wound on her knee was bleeding, staining a corner of her white dress red.
This shows how serious the abrasion was.
"It must hurt a lot," Aunt Qin said with a pained expression.
She carefully helped Su Yinwan lift her long skirt.
The wound on my knee was quite deep; the skin and flesh inside were turned inside out, and blood was still flowing.
"It's likely to leave a scar; the wound is so big."
Aunt Qin frowned as she opened the medicine box and took out iodine and cotton swabs.
"It might hurt a little, Xiaowan, please bear with it."
Aunt Qin breathed on Su Yinwan's wound while gently disinfecting it.
At this moment, Su Yinwan did not feel as much pain as when she had just fallen.
She even thought that the pain would be better, so that her mind would be focused on the wound instead of thinking about the unpleasantness with Rong Jing.
After a while, Aunt Qin applied some medicine to her wound and then used gauze to cover it up to prevent infection.
"Alright, Xiao Wan, don't wander around. I'll bring breakfast over in a bit, you can eat here."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Qin."
After Aunt Qin put away the medicine box, she helped Grandpa Su to have breakfast.
That day, Su Yinwan didn't go anywhere. She either stayed in the living room playing chess with Grandpa Su, or was helped back to her room by Aunt Qin for a nap.
As the WeChat messages on my phone kept popping up, not a single one was from Rong Jing.
Su Yinwan wanted to call him, but she didn't dare.
She guessed that the man was still angry and probably didn't want to answer her call.
In fact, she did handle this matter somewhat inappropriately.
But what's done is done, and there's nothing she can do about it.
Now, the only thing that can be done is for the two of them to calm down first and then let this matter fade away.
In the evening, Aunt Qin brought a cup of hot milk upstairs.
After watching Su Yinwan finish her milk, she still voiced her thoughts.
"Xiao Wan, I overheard you two arguing this morning. That's how married life is; you need to work things out and understand each other."
"It's normal to have a little argument every now and then, as long as the two of you can talk things out and there are no misunderstandings."
"Yes, Aunt Qin, Jing and I are fine, you don't need to worry. By the way, you shouldn't tell Grandpa about this, so as not to worry him."
"Alright, you should go to sleep early. I'm going downstairs now. Remember to call me if you need anything."
"Okay, Aunt Qin, you should go to bed early too."
Aunt Qin took the cup, closed the door for Su Yinwan, and then went downstairs.
That night, Su Yinwan couldn't sleep at all.
Her mind was filled with images of the two arguing that morning.
She wanted to apologize, but his words were hurtful.
How could he not believe her?
----
The next morning, Su Yinwan went downstairs for breakfast with dark circles under her eyes.
Grandpa Su looked at her listless appearance with concern.
"Didn't you sleep well last night? Is the wound too painful?"
"Grandpa, no, the wound is much better. I just couldn't sleep last night."
"Then go back and take a nap after you finish breakfast."
Su Yinwan drank her porridge and shook her head.
"No, Grandpa, I forgot to tell you yesterday. I have to go back to Rongcheng today. There are still many things at the dessert shop that I need to take care of."
"This is so sudden, how are you going to get back? Your foot isn't even healed yet."
"I called a private car on my phone, it's very convenient, you don't need to worry about that."
"Okay, then I'll ask your Aunt Qin to help you pack your luggage later."
“I can manage on my own, Grandpa, there’s no need to trouble Aunt Qin.”
Su Yinwan smiled helplessly.
In her grandfather's heart, she will always be a child who never grows up and will always need to be taken care of.
After breakfast, Su Yinwan went back to her room to pack her luggage.
After she went upstairs, Grandpa Su made a phone call to Rong Jing.
At that moment, Rong Jing, who was processing documents, saw the caller ID: it was his grandfather.
He answered the phone without hesitation, "Grandpa, why are you calling me?"
"Ah Jing, are you busy? I hope I'm not bothering you?"
"No rush, Grandpa. Is there something you want to tell me?"
Rong Jing put down his pen and answered the phone seriously.
"Xiao Wan told me yesterday that you were busy at your company and went back first. Who knew that she would get injured right after you left?"
"Xiao Wan is injured? Is it serious?"
Rong Jing disregarded the fact that Old Master Su was an elder and interrupted him, asking anxiously.
His instinctive concern made him blurt it out.
"It's quite serious. The skin on her knee is scraped off, and the flesh underneath is exposed. Xiaoqin helped her apply medicine and bandage it yesterday."
"By the way, Xiao Wan is going back to Rongcheng today. I guess she thought you were busy, so she called a car to take her back herself. You don't need to worry about it."
"I mainly called to remind you to change her dressing. Xiao Wan definitely won't care about that wound."
"Okay, Grandpa, I understand. Please take good care of yourself at home. We'll come back to visit you in a while."
"Alright, what a filial child. Well then, Grandpa, I won't disturb your work any longer. Go ahead and get busy."
"Okay, Grandpa, goodbye."
Rong Jing waited until Grandpa Su hung up the phone.
He then put down his phone.
Was she injured?
Did she chase after him when he drove away?
No, it won't happen.
Rong Jing pondered the reason for Su Yinwan's injury, denying it as he thought about it.
Upon learning that the woman was injured, he lost all interest in his work.
He took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, picked one up and was about to light it when he remembered Su Yinwan's previous attempt to stop him.
She didn't like him smoking, saying it was bad for his health.
In the end, Rong Jing still didn't light the cigarette in his hand.
He threw the cigarette, along with all the cigarettes in the box, into the trash can.
He leaned back quietly in the leather seat, reflecting on their argument that day.
Rong Jing was reflecting on whether what he said that day had hurt Su Yinwan's feelings.
He was so angry he lost his mind.
He did not disbelieve Su Yinwan.
However, he was no longer able to think calmly about Su Yinwan's matter.
More often than not, it's driven by emotion.
He pressed his temples and called his assistant, Xu, in via landline.
"Boss, what are your orders?"
"I've cancelled all my plans for tonight. Also, please prepare a wound ointment for my abrasions and a scar removal ointment, the best of everything."
"Received, BOSS."
Immediately afterwards, Rong Jing made another phone call back to Qianyue Bay.
"Aunt Liu, Wanwan is going back to Qianyue Bay today. Prepare some nutritious food for her dinner, but try to keep it light."
