Chapter 157 Malnutrition, some anemia, plus constipation



As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ningxi immediately looked up and replied, "Because I agreed to invest!"

"Mr. Xie, please don't try to take it from me."

Xie Jinxing's eyes flickered, and a look of disappointment first appeared on his face.

However, he quickly added, "I won't compete with you, but it's good to have more people investing, right?"

"Increased investment will be more helpful for research and will most likely lead to results as soon as possible."

It has to be said that Jiang Yuheng was tempted.

He glanced at Jiang Ningxi secretly.

Jiang Ningxi also looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

"Alright then, you can discuss the specific investment amount yourselves."

Jiang Yuheng did not answer immediately, but looked at the person opposite him and asked.

"I heard that the Xie family is planning to bid for a plot of land in the west of the city, is that right?"

"Not only the Fu family, but people from Beijing have also come; they all want this land."

Xie Jinxing's expression remained calm.

"Yes, but even so, the Xie family's funds are absolutely sufficient."

Jiang Ningxi, who had been engrossed in her meal, immediately looked up upon hearing this.

[Land in the west of the city?]

[Damn it, in the novel, the Xie family suffered heavy losses because they won the bid for that piece of land!]

[Hiss—it seems Xie Jinxing was already on his deathbed at that time. In the end, he suffered a blow because of the Xie family's troubles caused by this land, and he died not long after.]

[Actually, how can you blame him for this? Everyone thought they'd make a fortune after winning the bid for that land, but who knew that whoever bought it would be the one to suffer!]

Oh no, how should I remind him?!

Xie Jinxing was somewhat shocked to hear her thoughts.

He truly hadn't expected that there would be problems with that piece of land in the west of the city.

But thinking about it, it's not too late to find out about this now.

It could even be put to good use.

The Fu family also wants this land, so let's give it to them.

Thinking of this, he slightly curved his thin lips.

"Don't worry, the Xie family will carefully consider every decision before making it."

"They want the land, and they also want the investment lab."

Jiang Yuheng understood that these words were meant for Jiang Ningxi rather than for him.

However, she clearly didn't listen, still worried that the Xie family would bid for that piece of land.

He cleared his throat lightly. "Mr. Xie is so intelligent; any decision he makes must be the result of careful consideration."

"Let's stop talking about business and have dinner," Xie Jinxing gestured for them to leave.

They waited until they finished eating before leaving the restaurant.

Jiang Yuheng is preparing to return to the Jiang family home.

Jiang Ningxi didn't want to go back, so she refused their offer to take her and drove home herself.

The car was slowly driving halfway when my phone suddenly rang.

I glanced at my phone screen; it was a call from Jiang Yuchen.

I raised my hand and tapped the Bluetooth earphone on my ear.

Then, a happy voice came from the other end of the line.

"Ningxi, I have good news for you."

"In a few days, they'll be holding a red carpet event and have invited our entire crew to walk the red carpet. You can walk the red carpet with me then!"

Jiang Ningxi found it somewhat amusing.

"Well, that's good news." After all, she's also an investor in this show.

The more attention a show receives, the greater its chances of becoming a hit, which means more money she can earn afterward.

Then, Jiang Yuchen spoke up with a smile.

"Should I take care of the dress for you, or will you do it yourself?"

"If you contact me, I can have an agent connect you with brands."

"It would be great if someone could help with the trouble," Jiang Ningxi was about to agree.

Suddenly, a white shadow darted out of the bushes beside the car, startling her.

Slammed on the brakes.

A piercing sound came from beside my ear.

prick--

"Damn it! Who's got a death wish?!"

"You may not care about your life, but I do!"

He flung open the car door and got out.

When they got to the front of the car, they saw a tall, thin boy lying on the ground.

It's already winter, and Jiang Ningxi is wearing a black knit sweater with a long brown coat.

But the boy in front of her was only wearing a thin sweatshirt and a pair of cropped jeans.

He was so cold that his face turned pale and his ankles turned blue.

Jiang Ningxi frowned, unable to utter a curse word for a moment.

"Why did you suddenly rush out from the side? Don't you know that you'll hurt yourself and others?"

Fang Linxi cautiously looked up at her, then weakly lowered her head. "Sister, I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to."

"I... I just felt a little weak in the legs, then I tripped over the flower bed and accidentally fell over."

Jiang Ningxi: ...

Do I need to take you to the hospital for a checkup?

Fang Linxi quickly shook her head, her pale, heart-shaped face filled with anxiety.

"No need, no need to trouble you, sister."

After saying that, he struggled to sit up, but before he could stand up, he fell heavily to the ground again.

Jiang Ningxi stepped forward and grabbed his pale, slender wrist to examine it.

He immediately frowned. "Malnutrition, some anemia."

After saying that, he started groping around on his arms.

Fang Linxi seemed a little scared and hid back a bit.

However, he discovered that the girl in front of him had an unusually strong grip, so strong that he couldn't move at all.

He could only let her slender, warm fingers explore his arm.

He was already wearing thin clothes.

You can clearly feel the warmth coming from her fingertips.
