Those brown eyes, tempered by ice, were as beautiful as gemstones, yet also as sharp as fire.
"Godmother, I respect you as my elder, but my respect depends on you. Will you calm down?"
“…”
"This is the Chi family's home."
Chi 㫅 came up next and said seriously.
Zhou Fang said "oh" with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips.
"Godfather, I won't hold any meetings right now. I have plenty of time."
“…”
Chi Xu never thought that Chi Zhan would become so powerful.
It actually allows him to retire early.
But I don't have to attend that class. It's just enough time to deal with the situation between Chi Zhan and Jiang Lai.
"Zhou Fang, you have a good relationship with Chi Zhan, but it's still not convenient for Jia Xin to interfere."
"I didn't interfere." Zhou Fang put his hands in his pockets and spoke casually, "When my godmother hit Jiang Lai, my wife would be sad. My wife is sad because I didn't take good care of her. So how can I be considered the sole victim of the Chi family?"
Zhou Fang was always good at sophistry, so Chi Xu didn't say much to him.
He pulled Chi's mother and signaled her to calm down with his eyes.
At this moment, Zhou Fang and Ruan Nanzhi were both asleep and could do nothing to Jiang Lai.
Chi's mother was not happy. She glared at Jiang Lai and said, "Are you satisfied now?"
"Is he asking for death, so you can let him go."
Jiang Lai shook his head repeatedly, "I don't. I hope he's better than anyone else..."
"Is that what you hope for?"
Chi's mother was aggressive. "I've told you so many times that people like you will only become stumbling blocks on Chi Zhan's path and bring him trouble and danger."
"But you just won't listen!"
Ruan Nanzhi spoke in a rare firm tone: "Aunt, if it weren't for you, Lai Lai and Chi Zhan wouldn't have suffered this disaster."
Mother Chi was stunned and said stubbornly, "I don't understand what you are saying."
"You'll understand. Zhou Fang is investigating."
“…”
Chi's mother's goal was to make Jiang Lai disappear from Chi Zhan's sight forever.
But she didn't expect that the one whose life was hanging by a thread was her precious son.
"How long have you been here?" she asked Zhou Fang. "The medical level here is not good enough. Let's take Chi Zhan back home."
Zhou Fang sneered, "Godmother, if you have some medical knowledge, Chi Zhan will die immediately if he gets on a plane now."
“…”
Chi's mother was already full of anger and was criticized again.
When he spoke again, his voice was shrill, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Zhou Fang nodded, "I'm just talking nonsense."
Chi's mother was so angry that her breathing became rapid. Chi Yu advised, "Let's wait until Chi Zhan is dead."
At this time, Huo Qinghuai arrived with a doctor.
Gu Chenxu went straight into the emergency room without saying hello to anyone.
The operation lasted an hour.
Until dawn.
Jiang Lai had already finished hanging up the water and really couldn't sit still.
He just stood at the door of the emergency room like a stone statue.
Ruan Nanzhi put a coat on her and stood with her.
Mother Chi wanted to say something, but Zhou Fang stopped her silently.
Huo Qinghuai came back from buying breakfast and said to Zhou Fang, "I asked the nurse. Although she's been given anti-inflammatory drugs and nutrient solution, she's also been tested for pregnancy and has a physical exam. If Jiang Lai doesn't eat something to get a bowel movement, she's definitely not going to be able to hold on."
"Wait a moment."
Zhou Fang's eyebrows jumped, "Who's pregnant?"
Huo Qinghuai glanced at Jiang Lai and said, "She's faking a pregnancy, probably to stall for time, but she's really not eating. Ask your wife to persuade her to eat at least a bite."
Before Zhou Fang could open his mouth, the door to the emergency room opened.
Jiang Lai wanted to rush forward, but his legs seemed to be nailed to the ground.
She was afraid.
Chi's mother was the first to rush up and ask, "How is my son?"
Gu Chenxu's eyes had seen life and death, and were calm.
His voice was truthful: "There is no danger to life."
Chi's mother breathed a sigh of relief, but then she breathed a sigh of relief again.
"Although the bullet didn't penetrate the heart, it did pass through the chest cavity. He survived, but I can't confirm when he woke up."
"What, what do you mean?"
"There's a possibility of a vegetative state. Be prepared."
“How could it be…”
Chi Xu quickly supported Chi's mother. He was relatively calm and asked, "Is there no other way?"
Gu Chenxu shook his head and walked towards Huo Qinghuai, "If he doesn't wake up for more than a month, I'll have to ask my sister-in-law to give him acupuncture."
Huo Qinghuai's eyes flashed, and he turned his head to say to Zhou Fang, "I'll take him to stay first."
Zhou Fang nodded, but didn't have time to tell Ruan Nanzhi.
Then she heard her yell: "Jiang Lai——"
Jiang Lai fainted.
There was another round of chaos.
While Gu Chenxu was examining Jiang Lai, Zhou Fang pulled Ruan Nanzhi over and whispered something in her ear.
Ruan Nanzhi was too distracted to think, "What do you mean? Is Chi Zhan pretending to faint?"
"uncertain."
Zhou Fang recalled Chi Zhan's condition at the time and felt that the chances of him waking up during the operation were not high.
The most likely thing was that after the operation, he was worried about Jiang Lai, so he woke up for a while and specifically took Gu Chenxu's place.
"Gu Chenxu is one of us, just trust him."
Ruan Nanzhi nodded and continued to guard Jiang Lai.
Zhou Fang deliberately arranged a ward for Chi Zhan and Jiang Lai.
Beside him, Chi's mother held Chi Zhan's hand and cried.
Chi 㫅 wanted to persuade her but didn't know how to start, so he wiped her tears after a while.
Suddenly, Chi's mother stood up and wanted to take Chi Zhan back to Jingcheng.
"If it can't be cured here, Jingcheng will definitely be able to."
Zhou Fang stepped forward to stop him, "The one who gave Chi Zhan first aid just now was Gu Chenxu, the young master of the Gu family."
"If he can't do anything, who else can you turn to?"
Chi's mother didn't have time to notice.
Gu Chenxu was wearing a mask, so she didn't recognize him.
If that's the case, then Chi Zhan is...
"I feel sorry for A-Zhan!"
"If you had listened to me, you wouldn't have come to this."
Zhou Fang scratched his ears, his voice becoming a little colder. "Godmother, I still say the same thing. Without you, they wouldn't be lying here."
“…”
Mother Chi didn't know how to refute, so she pulled the curtains.
She wanted to change wards, but was stopped.
I don't want Chi Zhan to get hurt during the fight, so I can only compromise.
Jiang Lai woke up around noon.
The first thing Ruan Nanzhi did was to feed her.
"You have to eat even if you can't eat it."
Jiang Lai finally found a chance to ask, "How is Chi Zhan?"
"No."
Ruan Nanzhi took the opportunity to stuff a mouthful of warm and tasty porridge into her mouth.
"After you finish this bowl of porridge, you can look at him."
Jiang Lai wanted to do it right away.
Ruan Nanzhi said with a serious face, "Lai Lai, I really do get angry."
“…”
Jiang Lai sat obediently on the hospital bed and let Ruan Nanzhi feed her a bowl of porridge.
When Ruan Nanzhi turned around to put the bowl down, she slid off the bed.
Ruan Nanzhi grabbed her with his backhand and said, "It's next door."
Jiang Lai walked around the curtain and saw Chi Zhan lying there.
He wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Chi's mother, Chi 㫅.
Chi's mother was filled with resentment towards her, "Don't come near my son, you jinx!"
Jiang Lai pursed her lips and was about to open her mouth, but Ruan Nanzhi spoke before her.
"Aunt, I don't want to hear this again, otherwise we will both be in trouble."
Ruan Nanzhi was really angry.
She couldn't control how the Chi family stopped Chi Zhan and Jiang Lai from being together.
He is not qualified to manage the Chi family's affairs.
But Jiang Lai suffered such a painful punishment because of her shameful deeds, and she really couldn't bear it.
Jiang Lai held her hand and whispered, "I was also wrong..."
"You didn't!"
“…”
