Chapter 149 I Choose the Second Option
I choose the second one
After He Zheng and Wen Ruan left, Yao Wei asked someone to call Yao Man and Jiang Qingyan to the study.
"Transfer all your shares in the group to He Zheng."
Yao Man thought she had misheard and said in disbelief, "Dad, are you crazy?"
"You're crazy!" Yao Wei looked at her sullenly. "He Zheng knows about the car accident. He's giving you three options: either you give him your legs as compensation, give him your shares, or go to jail. It's your choice!"
Jiang Qingyan sat on the sofa, his arms resting on his knees and his hands crossed. When he heard Yao Wei's words, he lowered his eyes slightly, his expression not changing.
Yao Man's face turned pale.
Compensate him with his legs? Paralyzed? Then she would rather die. Go to jail? Then she would rather die.
If we really have to choose, giving shares is indeed the best way, but why should she give it to her?
Yao Man reached out and slapped Jiang Qingyan next to her, her face full of resentment, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't saved them, He Zheng and Wen Ruan would have died!"
Jiang Qingyan received a slap on the shoulder, but he just held her hand soothingly, his voice gentle.
"When I arrived, a car was coming the other way. Even if I didn't save them, they would have been saved. I chose to save them because He Zheng is my father's son after all, and I was afraid that he would be sad."
"As for Wen Ruan, we offended Ruan Chengdong at the Ruan family's AI forum. Wen Ruan is a pawn for Rong Li to reconcile with the Ruan family. She can't get into trouble yet."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yao Wei, who pointed at Yao Man and scolded her in frustration.
"You did something wrong and you still blame others! You should be glad that He Zheng and Wen Ruan are alive!"
Yao Man was scolded and cried, hugging Jiang Qingyan's arm and hiding behind him.
"Dad, didn't you say everything was handled? How did He Zheng have evidence? Did he lie to you?"
Yao Wei ignored her and looked at Jiang Qingyan, "Qingyan, what do you think?"
Jiang Qingyan lowered his eyes and leaned over to hand Yao Wei a cup of cooling tea.
"If He Zheng wanted to bomb you on purpose, he would have chosen Tianyu. After all, he and Tianyu have a deeper grudge, and Tianyu has a criminal record. During the battle for Minghe Building, Tianyu hit him with his car. He is so sure of this, and he dares to ask for all the shares. He must have evidence in his hands."
Yao Wei took the cup and sighed, "I thought so too."
After being shocked, he asked He Zheng what evidence he had. The boy sneered, "I told you to destroy the evidence? Am I that stupid? Believe it or not."
Yao Wei asked Jiang Qingyan, "What do you think we should do now?"
Jiang Qingyan's dark eyes were like bottomless water. "He Zheng is acting erratically. He's broken his legs, and he won't give up. He wants shares, so we have to give them to him. Otherwise, he'll really fight to the death."
Yao Man was indignant, "Why?"
Jiang Qingyan turned to look at her, his stern features softened and his tone became light.
"So do you want to compensate him with a pair of legs, or do you want to go to jail? You've always known that He Zheng is a lunatic. Why did you mess with him for no reason?"
Yao Man was speechless and her face was pale.
…
On the Lantern Festival, Wen Hui'an and Zhong Lan returned to Haicheng.
That night, Wen Ruan went home for dinner. At the dinner table, her mother told her something.
"I went to see Director Liao this afternoon. He Zheng's initial treatment was very effective, and his condition is almost stable. Director Liao said there are two follow-up plans."
"Either conservative treatment or traditional Chinese medicine intervention. I can find you the best Chinese medicine doctor in the country. He can use acupuncture, Chinese medicine, rehabilitation and nerve nutrition methods, specifically for He Zheng's condition. This method is safe, but slow, and the final effect is hard to predict."
"Another option is that Director Liao has a senior colleague who is an authority in rehabilitation medicine. Their team is very capable, with first-class research institutions in the United States, the most advanced rehabilitation technology and treatment methods, and extensive clinical experience."
Wen Hui'an paused when he saw that Wen Ruan was listening attentively and looking at him expectantly.
"Director Liao has already discussed He Zheng's current situation with his senior. The process will be very difficult. It depends on He Zheng's willpower to get through it. There is a 50% chance that he can stand up. Of course, the greater the hope, the greater the risk."
"The most serious consequence is death on the operating table."
Wen Huian asked Wen Ruan to tell He Zheng this and let him make his own decision.
Wen Ruan understood He Zheng well. She didn't even need to ask, she knew He Zheng would definitely choose to take the risk. She knew very well how much he wanted to stand up, but she didn't dare to think about what would happen if something happened to him.
…
After some hesitation, it was the last day of February, Cheng Shuang's birthday.
Ever since meeting Xu Xiaotian at the college reunion that night, the atmosphere between Cheng Shuang and Shen Yifan has been very strange. They are closer than before, but not that close. It can only be said that their relationship is barely harmonious.
Cheng Shuang’s 30th birthday is considered a big birthday.
Cheng Shuang thought it would be fine to just have a simple celebration, but her mother-in-law thought such an important day should be taken seriously, so she called a group of relatives and friends, booked the best restaurant in Haicheng, and held Cheng Shuang's hand the whole time.
It started early in the afternoon and ended at seven o'clock. The old lady gave Shen Yifan another order, asking him to take Cheng Shuang out to play.
Cheng Shuang didn't like to go to any of the fun places at this time, didn't want to watch a movie, and didn't want to go to a bar, so Shen Yifan called a group of friends to the Shuang'er Club in the city center.
Afraid that Cheng Shuang would be bored, he specially called Wen Ruan.
Wen Ruan came over after she finished massaging He Zheng's legs. She came a little late, arriving at 8:30.
After saying hello, I found Cheng Shuang in the corner.
"Where's Shen Yifan? Why don't I see him?"
Cheng Shuang took a sip of wine. "He said he had to go out for something and would be back soon. I guess he won't be back. I heard it was Xu Xiaotian calling him."
Wen Ruan was stunned for a moment. By the way, Xu Xiaotian was discharged from the hospital today.
Although Cheng Shuang said that she didn't care about Shen Yifan, Wen Ruan knew that she still cared about him, so while Xu Xiaotian was in the hospital, she asked He Zheng to arrange a lot of things for Shen Yifan and let him go on business trips to various places.
Shen Yifan has been busy since the holiday and only came back yesterday, so Xu Xiaotian didn't see Shen Yifan at all during her hospitalization.
You just got out of the hospital today, and you can't help but cause trouble?
Wen Ruan chatted with Cheng Shuang for a few words before being called over by several people to chat. They were also He Zheng's friends. Since that bastard Shen Yifan was not there, she couldn't neglect them.
He used tea instead of wine, toasted everyone, chatted for a while, and finally returned to Cheng Shuang. Cheng Shuang drank glass after glass of red wine and was already drunk on the sofa.
Wen Ruan's phone had less than 10% battery left, so she used Cheng Shuang's phone to call Shen Yifan, who answered the phone quickly.
"Cheng Shuang, if you have anything, call him tomorrow. He won't be back tonight."
Wen Ruan frowned. This was Xu Xiaotian's voice. She was about to speak when the other party hung up the phone.
Wen Ruan: “!!!”
…
Shen Yifan is in the hotel now.
Two hours ago, he received a call from an unfamiliar number, and the person speaking was Xu Xiaotian.
She said she had just been discharged from the hospital in the afternoon and was originally going to stay with her best friend Wang Zhen for two days, but Wang Zhen lived with her boyfriend and it was inconvenient for her to stay there. So she went out to stay in a hotel late at night, and her cell phone and bag were snatched by a motorcyclist on the way.
She borrowed a passerby's cell phone and called him because she only remembered his cell phone number.
He accompanied her to the police station. Unfortunately, she took a small road where there was no surveillance and she could not be found. After taking a statement and leaving contact information, the police said they would notify him if there was any news.
He found a hotel for Xu Xiaotian and left her enough cash. Then he prepared to leave and went to the bathroom to wash his hands before leaving.
When I came out, I saw Xu Xiaotian had just hung up the phone.
Seeing her holding her phone, he frowned slightly and reached out for it, "Who called?"
Xu Xiaotian didn't hide it. "Cheng Shuang called. I told her you weren't going home tonight. She didn't say anything and just hung up."
Shen Yifan's face changed when he heard "Cheng Shuang". When he heard her next sentence, his face became even uglier. He snatched the phone and was about to leave. Xu Xiaotian rushed over and hugged him.
"Yifan, please don't leave tonight, okay? I really regret this. I've missed you so much over the years."
With tears streaming down her face, she put her arms around Shen Yifan's neck and kissed him sweetly.
Cheng Shuang's face flashed through Chen Yifan's mind, and he subconsciously tilted his head, pressing her shoulders and pushing her away, making her kiss fall in vain.
"Whether I love Cheng Shuang or Xu Xiaotian, I'm married and we're over a long time ago. You should have a good rest."
He turned and walked towards the door. Xu Xiaotian called him again, "Chen Yifan, look at me! You and Cheng Shuang owe me!"
Shen Yifan paused and turned around, only to see Xu Xiaotian had taken off her sweater, revealing only a tank top underneath. There were cigarette burns on her arms, similar to those on cigarette butts, and an old wound on her collarbone.
He was stunned, then heard Xu Xiaotian say, "It's all your and Cheng Shuang's fault. Why would I be with that rich second-generation guy? You all said I climbed up the social ladder, but in fact, he bullied me! I was forced!"
Her voice was sharp, "Chen Yifan, you don't know what kind of life I have been going through these past few years. It was you and Cheng Shuang who ruined me. You must be responsible for me!"
…
In the VIP ward, when Wen Ruan came in, He Zheng seemed to have fallen asleep.
She went into the bathroom to tidy herself up, carefully lifted the quilt and got in. She leaned over and kissed him on the lips. When she noticed his eyelashes tremble slightly, she knew he was not asleep.
She lay down, hugged his arm and sighed deliberately, "I'm so angry."
He Zheng stretched his ears to listen, but before he could hear the second sentence, he heard her sighing. He was so anxious that he couldn't help but ask.
"Who mad at you?"
Wen Ruan didn't expose his pretending to sleep. She told him what happened tonight and even praised him at the end.
"What's going on? How come you're the only good man left in the world? Why are all the others scumbags? I'm so lucky! I must have been lucky in my previous life."
He Zheng: “…” Who taught her to be so eloquent!
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and He Zheng finally remembered to ask, "So, has Shen Yifan gone home? Bring me my phone, I'll call him."
Wen Ruan replied, "When I called him the second time, he answered and said Cheng Shuang was drunk, so he took her away."
After talking about other people's things, Wen Ruan snuggled into He Zheng's arms. She buried her head in his neck and said after a while:
"My mother and Director Liao both came to me and said there were two options."
He Zheng put his hand on the top of her head and rubbed it slowly. The lights were all turned off. In the darkness, he tilted his head to look out the window. The moonlight tonight was not good and it was dark outside.
"I know you've been distracted lately. I asked Director Liao myself."
He said, "I choose the second option. I've already discussed it with Director Liao and will leave next month."
Wen Ruan wanted to raise her head from his arms, but He Zheng held her down, his low and hoarse voice filled with lingering tenderness.
"Ruan Ruan, I haven't forgotten you. I just don't want you to be with such a terrible person like He Zheng. I know why you want this child. You're afraid that I can't bear the blow and will commit suicide."
"I did think about committing suicide. I don't want to live such a cowardly life, but I don't want to die now. The first option is slow and the effect is uncertain, so I want to take a gamble for you and the child."
"If I win the bet, I will give you a complete He Zheng. If I lose the bet, Wen Ruan, don't blame me."
