"Still in the intensive care unit!"
"I heard you told people you were getting engaged to her?"
How did it reach Old Mrs. Huo's ears so quickly?
"Feng Mi came tonight, saying she accompanied Jian Yu to the hospital and also wanted to visit me. Have you thought it through? Are you sure it's her?"
Huo Qizhen shook his head, "Jian Yu is still young."
Mrs. Huo said, "She is indeed a bit too young, not as sensible as Niannian."
Xu Niannian clenched her fists and suppressed her temper as soon as she heard the word "engagement".
Normally, a single compliment from Old Mrs. Huo would make her happy for half a day, but at this moment, Old Mrs. Huo's praise made her not happy at all.
He only praises her verbally, but never helps her when it matters.
If you really think she's sensible, why not suggest that Huo Qizhen get engaged to her?
"Jian Yu isn't ignorant; she's just not good at pleasing others."
To Xu Niannian, Huo Qizhen's words were tantamount to accusing her of being scheming.
All he ever thinks about is pleasing Old Mrs. Huo.
Mrs. Huo said, "Every year she cares about me. I've been hospitalized for so long, and Jian Yu hasn't come to see me even once."
Huo Qizhen: "Jian Yu was unaware that you were hospitalized."
Mrs. Huo regretted using Huang Ling's company as a bargaining chip, so much so that she could no longer rightfully demand that Huo Qizhen not get engaged.
"How's your uncle's company doing? I don't know what he's been up to lately, he hasn't come to see me at all."
"It should be good! My uncle hasn't contacted me recently."
"That should be good."
Huang Ling is the kind of person who won't do anything without a reason; if he doesn't seek out Huo Qizhen, it's because he definitely doesn't need his help.
Grandma Huo was relieved.
Although Huo Qizhen stayed in the ward all night, Xu Niannian didn't get a chance to talk to him at all.
As dawn broke, Huo Qizhen left the ward.
Jian Yu spent a day and a half in the intensive care unit before being out of danger and transferred out.
Jian Yu was listless, and her appetite hadn't returned.
I didn't eat a single bite of the nutritious porridge.
Although the rash has subsided a lot, the friction when I turn over causes my skin to itch.
Jianyu can't help but grab at things.
The more I scratched, the itchier it became, and the skin on my arm even broke open.
When Huo Qizhen pushed the door open, he saw the nurse applying iodine to Jian Yu.
Jian Yu felt very conflicted when she saw him.
I once heard Huo Tingzhen say that when Huo Qizhen was a teenager, a woman drugged him in order to advance her career.
On one occasion, he was hit by a very strong drug. Before the doctor arrived with the medication, he stayed in the bathroom taking a cold shower.
Although Jian Yu didn't know much, he had heard that not many people could resist strong aphrodisiacs.
Simply rinsing with cold water won't alleviate the effects of the medicine at all.
In particular, Xu Niannian gave incorrect information, preventing the doctor from giving Huo Qizhen an injection.
Huo Qizhen managed to endure for three or four hours by drinking cold water.
She only realized how potent the drug was when she herself was infected the day before yesterday.
Many people, under the influence of drugs, become like a beast that only knows how to vent their anger.
Jian Yu has no doubt about this statement now.
Even when her life was threatened by a severe allergic reaction, she could still feel her body's primal desires surging within her.
If it weren't for the severe stomach pain and difficulty breathing that distracted her, she doesn't know if she would have made a huge blunder.
No wonder Kenneth Fok avoids women like the plague.
Who could stand being drugged so easily?
It's really unlucky that Huo Qizhen is being targeted by those women.
However, she herself was even more unlucky.
She was only Yan Shi's fake girlfriend for a few days before Feng Mi, with Lu Han's help, tried to kill her.
Even more absurdly, she didn't even understand why she was given the Chinese medicine, before Su Mei and the waiter poisoned her.
I had a brush with death.
Jian Yu thought about it more and more and felt that although the young masters from aristocratic families were good, they were also poisonous.
It can't even be viewed from afar.
Jian Yu was quite happy to befriend Huo Tingzhen and live next door to the Huo family.
She can no longer be happy.
Jian Yu felt sorry for Huo Qizhen, but that didn't stop her from wanting to stay away.
After the nurse finished applying iodine to Jian Yu's wound, she left the ward with the tray.
Huo Qizhen frowned when he saw that the nutritious porridge hadn't been touched. "The doctor said you can eat something easily digestible."
Jian Yu's eyes welled up with tears; she was starting to feel sleepy.
He muttered softly, "Let's eat when we're awake!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Huo Qizhen wanted to persuade her again, but found that Jian Yu had already fallen asleep.
He could only shake his head helplessly and pull the blanket up for her.
He pulled up a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, staring intently at her sleeping face.
In just two days, she lost a lot of weight.
Xu Niannian stood outside the ward, her eyes red with jealousy.
Under the glare of Huo Qizhen's assistant, she pretended to leave calmly.
After her figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, the assistant pushed open the door and went in. "Young Master, Miss Niannian just came by, stood at the door for a while, and then left."
A hint of malice flashed in Huo Qizhen's eyes. "Don't let her near the ward again."
"yes."
A short while later, the old butler also arrived.
"Young Master, the Old Madam asked me to come and take a look."
Huo Qizhen nodded.
The old housekeeper said, "Miss Niannian just told the old lady about how Jian Yu's mother and Lu Han conspired to set up a scheme."
Huo Qizhen did not respond.
The old butler said, "Young Master Yunzhen went to Country L today to discuss business. His goal is to facilitate a large-scale international project cooperation."
The old butler continued, "Bao Yanbai came to see the old lady again today. The old lady likes him very much, and even thought about matching him with the eldest young lady. Bao Yanbai did not refuse."
Not only did they not refuse, but they were eager to try.
Just then, the assistant knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Huo, Mr. Bao is here."
"Come in."
The assistant pushed open the door.
Bao Yanbai walked in carrying a bouquet of flowers.
The old housekeeper quickly took it and placed it next to the vase.
When Bao Yanbai saw the red mark on Jian Yu's face, a hint of sympathy flashed in his eyes.
After exchanging a few auspicious words, he took his leave.
The old butler also left.
Only Huo Qizhen remained in the room.
The assistant stood outside the door, looking somewhat anxious; there was a company meeting to attend later.
I went in, gritting my teeth.
"Let Vice President Zhang preside over this."
The assistant dared not contradict, "Yes."
Jian Yu stayed in the hospital for a few days, and Huo Qizhen stayed with her for those same few days.
Jianyu felt embarrassed.
He was discharged from the hospital on the fourth day.
After being discharged from the hospital, Jian Yu rested at home for half a month and finally recovered completely.
That day, Jian Yu drove out alone.
Upon receiving the news, George called Jian Yu, "Wait for me, let's go together!"
"No need, I want to go out for a walk by myself."
Which street did you visit?
Before Jian Yu could answer, George heard someone inside enthusiastically recommending him to Jian Yu.
"My large 300-square-meter apartment, fully furnished, is only 22 million yuan now. Why don't you consider it?"
George, "You want to buy a house?"
Jian Yu: "Yes."
George: "Why? It's perfectly fine living here."
Jian Yu sighed silently, "I think I'm more suited to being a lazy bum on my own."
She stayed far away from those wealthy young men; she refused to believe that their toxic romantic entanglements would target her.
