Chapter 94 His Yaoyao cannot be harmed.
At 7 p.m., two planes took off from Beijing Airport, one after the other.
One plane was heading to Shenzhen, and the other to the port city.
Jiang Xingyao didn't expect that she would board a plane to Hong Kong so quickly.
When the plane took off, Jiang Xingyao still felt like it was all unreal.
The sky over the capital city gradually faded into the distance.
Looking back carefully, it seems that this place where she grew up doesn't hold many memories for her.
Especially after her grandfather's death, she had even less to cherish.
"What's wrong? Are you a little reluctant to leave? This departure is only temporary. Hong Kong is just a stepping stone for you to take off. Xingyao, one day you will come back in glory." Shen Mingsu sat next to Jiang Xingyao and whispered words of comfort.
A woman who has just lost her child is so fragile that even her lips are pale, like a glass doll that could shatter at the slightest touch.
She was still very weak and hadn't fully recovered. When Shen Mingsu received news from Qin Jiangnan, he thought that Jiang Xingyao would need at least a day to rest. But in the end, it was Jiang Xingyao who insisted on leaving.
This matter was too sudden, and the arrangements in Hong Kong were not yet made. Shen Mingsu had no choice but to go with Jiang Xingyao to settle the people first before returning to deal with the banquet.
Since Jin Qingyu is not in the capital, dealing with Jiang Cancan is not so difficult.
Jiang Xingyao said, "I have nothing to be reluctant about, President Shen. I'll trouble you to come with me."
"Don't mention the trouble. From now on, we're partners, collaborators. Xingyao, you don't need to be so polite with me. Didn't I tell you last time that you can just call me by my name?" Shen Ming said.
Jiang Xingyao nodded. She hadn't flown in a long time, and coupled with feeling unwell, she was a little airsick. She barely exchanged a few words with Shen Mingsu before closing her eyes to rest.
Qin Jiangnan also packed Jiang Xingyao's attending physician onto the plane. Upon seeing this, the physician quickly came over to examine Jiang Xingyao's body and only felt relieved after confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong.
Shen Mingsu had stayed in Gangcheng for a while, and this time he took Jiang Xingyao directly to his previous property, which was not a villa, but a large flat.
It was already past midnight, with a faint white light peeking through the sky. Shen Mingsu had instructed the housekeeper to clean the room beforehand, and the air was filled with a light, refreshing scent of aromatherapy, not at all pungent.
The aunt was waiting in the yard. When she saw Shen Mingsu, she immediately greeted him warmly: "Mr. Shen, you're back. This must be your wife?"
Jiang Xingyao looked a little embarrassed, and Shen Mingsu explained, "No, she's my friend. She's staying here temporarily, so please take good care of her, Aunt Yu."
And the porridge I mentioned on the phone earlier…”
"Don't worry, sir, I've already warmed the porridge on the stove. It'll be ready to serve in a bit," said Aunt Yu.
Shen Mingsu nodded. He first showed Jiang Xingyao around the house before saying, "I haven't been here for several years. Please make do for tonight. I'll have someone prepare clothes and daily necessities for you tomorrow."
Jiang Xingyao left in such a hurry that she had nothing on her except her ID and bank cards, let alone any luggage.
Listening to Shen Mingsu's detailed explanation, she said, "Mingsu, there's no need to go to so much trouble. I can handle all of this myself, and I can look for a place to live in a couple of days."
She was only staying temporarily at Shen Mingsu's place. Even if they were friends, there was no reason for her to stay at someone else's house indefinitely.
Regardless of what Shen Mingsu thought, Jiang Xingyao still didn't want to trouble him too much.
Shen Mingsu didn't press him. He said, "That's something for after you've recovered. Right now, the most important thing for you is to get yourself in good shape before the piano competition."
"Xingyao, don't feel awkward. I won't be staying here long. From now on, it will just be you and Aunt Yu in this house. If you need anything, just let her know."
While the two were talking, Aunt Yu had already ladled out the porridge and called them over to eat in her Cantonese-accented Mandarin.
Shen Mingsu didn't continue the previous topic. He said, "Alright, we've been up most of the night. Let's eat something first."
The seafood porridge was steaming in the bowl, and the salty and savory aroma filled the air, making one's mouth water just by smelling it.
Even though Jiang Xingyao had no appetite, she still drank quite a bit.
The atmosphere inside the house was harmonious and warm. Shen Mingsu was very gentlemanly and knew how to behave appropriately. Even though the house had enough rooms, he was afraid that Jiang Xingyao would feel awkward, so he went out and stayed at a hotel by himself.
He was nothing like the overly domineering Jin Qingyu; Jiang Xingyao rarely met a man as measured as him.
Jiang Xingyao had initially thought that things might be awkward with Shen Mingsu in Hong Kong, but now, seeing Shen Mingsu's sense of propriety, her unease completely disappeared, and she was even starting to look forward to her new life.
Meanwhile, in Shenzhen, not far from the port city, Jin Qingyu drove to the best hospital in the pouring rain. According to his assistant Xu, the best specialist in lumbar spine diseases in Shenzhen was at this hospital.
Coincidentally, he arrived in the early hours of the morning, just as the expert was working overtime to perform a surgery.
As Jin Qingyu brushed past several nurses in the hospital corridor, he could still hear their chatter.
"That's terrible. That patient just now, he was only in his early twenties, and his back injury was so severe. Dr. Gao said he might have to use a wheelchair in the future."
"They say he was hit by a car? That's really pitiful. If it weren't for Dr. Gao, the situation would probably have been much worse."
"Sigh, I don't know where her family is. After such a big thing happened, that little girl is all alone in the operating room."
"I heard it was delivered a bit late. If it had been delivered earlier, the situation might have been better."
Several people sighed as they walked past Jin Qingyu.
In his twenties, he suffered a back injury, was in a wheelchair, and was alone in the operating room.
Countless messages, carried by the sound of heavy rain outside the window, flooded Jin Qingyu's ears.
Jin Qingyu then thought of Jiang Xingyao's skirt floating on the water in the pool, like duckweed.
Helpless and alone.
If he hadn't taken Jiang Cancan with him, if he had stayed to check on Yao Yao...
"Mr. Jin, please don't worry. The person they're talking about might not be your wife. You..."
Assistant Xu wanted to say a few words of comfort, but before he could finish speaking, Jin Qingyu had already run in the direction the group of people had come from.
He also hoped that the person inside wasn't his own Yaoyao.
But the other person's age and situation were so similar to Yao Yao's that he couldn't help but overthink it.
Yao Yao might still be alone in the operating room; he has to go and be with her right away.
That was his wife, the woman he had spotted at first glance in the huge banquet hall, the woman he had secured a marriage with from his grandfather.
His Yaoyao, such a bright and beautiful girl, was the most expensive ornament adorning him. How could she be in a wheelchair?
At the end of the corridor, the lights in the operating room remained on.
Jin Qingyu was getting impatient, and he urged his assistant Xu again, "How are the people I asked you to find doing? Hurry up and urge them to come to Shenzhen immediately."
Seeing Jin Qingyu's anxious look, Assistant Xu didn't dare to delay and quickly went to the side to make a phone call.
Time passed little by little.
The rain outside has stopped and lessened.
The lights in the operating room were still on.
Jin Qingyu's phone suddenly rang in the quiet corridor, and he looked at the flashing screen.
It's Jiang Cancan.
The time had stopped at six in the morning.
Jin Qingyu hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone. Jiang Cancan said, "Mr. Jin, are you almost there? You have an international meeting this morning, it's starting soon, you..."
"Let's postpone it," Jin Qingyu said.
The lights in the operating room went out at that moment. He didn't bother to listen to what Jiang Cancan was saying on the other end and hung up the phone immediately.
Seeing the doctor and nurses come out, Assistant Xu quickly stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is my wife? Her back..."
"Are you her family? Why are you only arriving now? Do you know she injured her spine? What will happen to her in the future..."
"Do you need a wheelchair?" Jin Qingyu interrupted the doctor.
The doctor glanced at him. The man was distinguished and extraordinary; even a single cufflink cost tens of thousands of dollars. He was clearly no ordinary person.
He sighed, somewhat wistfully: "Being in a wheelchair is the best-case scenario. As a husband, no matter how busy you are with work, you can't be completely neglectful of your wife. Do you know that if she had been brought here any later, she might have had to have her leg amputated?"
"Amputation?" Jin Qingyu was shocked. Assistant Xu also asked, "What amputation? Didn't my wife injure her back? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"She was in a car accident, but her back injury was the most serious; the rest of her body was also injured... She was covered in blood when she was brought in," a nurse behind Dr. Gao explained.
Jin Qingyu's vision was somewhat unfocused. He frowned and quickly noticed something was wrong. He asked, "Doctor, is the patient you mentioned named Jiang Xingyao?"
"Jiang Xingyao?" The nurse was a little confused. She quickly looked down at the medical record. "No, the name in there is Zhou Hong. Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else?"
Zhou Hong, not Yaoyao…
Jin Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time his footing became a little unsteady. If it wasn't Yaoyao, then where had his Yaoyao gone?
Seeing his expression, Dr. Gao shook his head helplessly. Such cases of mistaking someone for someone else are not uncommon in hospitals.
He's seen so much of it that he's become numb to it.
Upon hearing that the person was not a family member of one of his patients, Dr. Gao bypassed Jin Qingyu.
Jin Qingyu blocked his way again: "Doctor, do you have a patient here named Jiang Xingyao, in her twenties, who was brought in yesterday, also with a back injury?"
The nurse checked the medical record book again and shook her head: "No, sir. From yesterday to today, we only have this one patient in his twenties."
Dr. Gao has already left, and only the nurses are still helping Jin Qingyu look through his medical records. Assistant Xu asked, "Which other hospitals in Shenzhen are famous for treating back injuries?"
