Chapter 469 This Will All Pass
Xiao Jingrun had already bought the flowers. He bent down gently, holding a large bouquet of gardenias and placed it next to the girl's bed.
The flower language of gardenia: eternal love and promise, full of hope, joy, strength, as well as persistence and perseverance.
Even in the bitter cold winter, it will firmly take root in the soil, waiting for the arrival of spring flowers.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't have any external injuries, at most the airflow from the explosion caused some minor abrasions, which the nurses had properly treated. The reason why she hasn't woken up yet is because Qin Si took the initiative to inject her with a sedative, which put her highly tense mind into a slightly relaxed state.
As Xiao Jingrun bent down and leaned slightly closer to Jiang Zhiyue, he couldn't help but stare at that quiet and gentle sleeping face, looking at it carefully.
Her eyebrows, her nose, her lips, it seems that no matter from which angle you look at them, you can never get enough of them.
The man's clear eyes curved into a shallow arc, his lips gently raised, and he reached out to touch her forehead, and immediately noticed several sharp rays of light penetrating from the side.
"......"
Xiao Jingrun shook his head helplessly, let out a sigh, and could only tuck in the quilt carefully for the girl.
"Have you figured out how to explain the maritime explosion to Mr. Xiao?" At this moment, Chu Junyue asked.
Although he was not at the scene, he had some understanding of the intricate relationships of the Xiao family. On the surface, it seemed that Old Man Xiao particularly favored Xiao Jingrun and supported Xiao Jingrun, but it would be better to say that Old Man Xiao placed all his lifelong ideals and ambitions that had not yet been realized on Xiao Jingrun.
Xiao Jingrun saved Gu Zhaoye, which was obviously contrary to Mr. Xiao's philosophy. As an emerging noble family, the Xiao family had an inherently irreconcilable hostility with the old noble family like the Gu family.
The current Presidential Palace dates back several centuries and was built on land that the Xiao family bought from the Gu family.
Xiao Jingrun could have simply stood by and watched, allowing the situation to develop and reaping the benefits. No matter what the outcome was, it had nothing to do with him directly. However, he chose to help. In Mr. Xiao's opinion, this behavior had already touched the bottom line of principle.
What's more, this matter cannot be concealed. Among the servants who came with him, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are looking at Mr. Xiao, or Xiao's father, or even the brother who is jealous of him.
Xiao Jingrun knew it well, but he did not take action to remove these spies. Although Old Man Xiao supported him, surveillance was the basis for ensuring his support. Once the spies planted by Xiao's father were eliminated, new ones would be added.
He thought it was unnecessary and would only cause more trouble.
"When will Zhiyue wake up?" Xiao Jingrun asked with concern.
Now three days have passed and Jiang Zhiyue can no longer wake up. If Sheng Huaian doesn't make trouble for Qin Si, others will do so.
Everyone looked at Qin Si, who didn't want to pay attention and said coldly, "In the afternoon or evening."
Their two camps are in opposition, and this can be seen from their respective circles of friends.
Qin Si was not like Chu Junyue, who was concerned about Xiao Jingrun's situation. His heart was always cold, as if he was born without empathy.
The man sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and touched Jiang Zhiyue's forehead, then turned his face cold and ignored everyone. Fortunately, everyone was used to his personality.
Mu Liansheng leaned on the sofa with his long legs crossed. He would like to sit closer to Jiang Zhiyue. Qin Si's possessiveness is even more terrifying than Gu Zhaoye's.
Mu Liansheng was not afraid of Qin Si and did not compete with Qin Si because he cared about the way Jiang Zhiyue looked at him and did not want to cause a commotion and annoy her for no reason.
After hearing Chu Junyue's words, Mu Liansheng still glanced at Xiao Jingrun and said sarcastically, "If our compassionate Young Master Xiao can learn one tenth of Young Master Qin's ruthlessness, he will not end up being coveted by the sons of common people."
This is an allusion to what happened to Qin Si in the trial field. If Madam Qin had not spoken up in time, he would have almost committed patricide.
Xiao Jingrun smiled and said nothing more. Instead, he reminded Chu Junyue to deal with the thief in his house as soon as possible.
Chu Junyue's eyes turned colder, "I know what's going on."
......
Downstairs ward.
Bai Yanzhu leaned against the soft pillow and had already woken up.
“Ahhhhhh my face!!!”
Her screams echoed throughout the entire floor.
The nurses pulled her hard to prevent her from touching the scar on her face the moment she opened her eyes.
After all, it was still a step too late. The burning pain like a raging fire spread to half of Bai Yanzhu's face. She subconsciously reached out to touch it and felt the gauze on her face.
Bai Yanzhu immediately realized something and began to frantically tear off the gauze wrapped around her face, pulling it madly, as if she wanted to tear off the skin on her face as well.
"Sister! Calm down!"
Bai Ruofei held her hand tightly, tears in her eyes.
"Sister, you'll be fine, trust me! This will all pass!"
"ah--!!!"
Such a scream that was so loud that one had to stop and tremble just by hearing it.
Xiao Jingrun left the ward and walked down the stairs step by step, just as he heard the painful cries.
The warmth in his eyes was no longer gentle, and under the light and shadow coming through the panoramic window, his raven-wing-black eyelashes made his eyelids look as if they were sprinkled with a faint golden glow at first glance.
The extreme tenderness and the inadvertent indifference formed a sharp contrast.
At this moment, the indifference on the man's face made the servant whisper involuntarily: "I heard that Miss Bai was disfigured... Master, do you want to go and see it?"
The two have known each other since childhood. Mrs. Xiao has always admired Bai Yanzhu and often invited her to her home to play the piano. After learning about Bai Yanzhu's experience, Mrs. Xiao rushed to visit her as soon as possible.
Although Xiao Jingrun's purpose of coming to the hospital this time was not Bai Yanzhu, he was very familiar with making the scene impeccable and winning people's hearts.
"It is said that the young master of the second branch of the Chu family has been handed over to old man Chu. We don't know what his fate is..." the servant said cautiously, while paying close attention to the changes in Xiao Jingrun's expression.
The battle for heirs in each family has begun, and only the Xiao family is in a relatively peaceful situation.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that beneath the Xiao family's peace, there were actually undercurrents.
The brothers could not guess Xiao Jingrun's thoughts, nor could they find his weakness.
Even if someone finally noticed that Xiao Jingrun seemed to treat Jiang Zhiyue differently, they lost the opportunity to take forceful action.
Xiao Jingrun's words lingered in the air, carrying with them an oppressive feeling that brooked no room for questioning.
"Make public all the reports related to the Bai family that the Audit Office has recently received."
After he said that, he left without looking back.
