Chapter 18 Changing His Destiny
Then, as if he had thought of something, he added, "Um... can I come here for lunch too?"
Faced with such a sudden request, Xiao Zhiyu first glanced at the other party coldly.
Almost subconsciously, he grabbed a pen on the table and threw it hard in the direction of Chen Rong.
"You little brat, since you love to eat so much, I'll make you drool!"
After returning home, Ruan Chuxia immediately placed the chicken in a suitable corner.
Then I specially invited Aunt Liu to come and help.
After everything was taken care of, she walked quickly towards Xiao Zhiyu's study on the second floor with peace of mind.
When she reached the study door, she took out the key she carried with her and opened the tightly closed and locked small drawer at the bottom.
There were several ordinary-looking iron boxes inside.
When Ruan Chuxia opened them one by one and saw the items stored inside, her eyes immediately became unusually bright and her face was full of surprise.
"Oh my God, there's so much money stored here!"
Ruan Chuxia couldn't help but sigh.
Indeed, the iron box was not only filled with neatly stacked ten-dollar bills, but each stack also contained a thick stack of receipts.
There were also various stacks of food coupons and cloth coupons.
Vouchers for redemption of various daily necessities were piled together.
It is not difficult to see from these details that Xiao Zhiyu did not use or check these things frequently.
Rather, they were roughly stuffed inside for preservation.
In the following time, Ruan Chuxia began to patiently classify these bills according to their type and purpose.
As she continued her exploration, she discovered another tin box filled with valuable products.
There are many rare and precious cigarette brands collected here.
In addition to these luxury goods, there is also a small number of exquisite gold jewelry, all of which are men's styles. They feel very heavy and are estimated to fetch at least a thousand yuan if sold.
She couldn't help but marvel at the thought and gained a more real understanding of the Xiao family's wealth.
The decision to marry into the Xiao family was truly the wisest choice she made after her rebirth!
Ruan Chuxia put these things away and locked them up again.
Sitting in the leather chair, lost in thought.
She recalled her previous plan. She originally just wanted to form a partnership with Xiao Zhiyu.
Even if he died in an accident, as the widow of a martyr, with the strong support of the Xiao family and her own unremitting efforts, her life would not be too bad.
But things are different now.
She needs to think carefully about how to change Xiao Zhiyu's fate of dying while on a mission a month later.
During the past half month, Ruan Chuxia's daily life was just a routine.
She rushed around everywhere, hardly stopping for a moment.
Especially in the hospital, she devoted almost all her energy to taking care of Mr. Xiao.
Finally, under her careful care, Mr. Xiao miraculously recovered from critical condition and was transferred to the general ward.
The news quickly spread throughout the hospital.
People were discussing who the mysterious doctor who cured Mr. Xiao was!
That day, Ruan Chuxia came to the hospital with the medicinal food she made herself.
I saw Mr. Xiao leaning on a cane and trying to get out of bed.
“Grandpa Xiao!”
She quickly stepped forward to support Mr. Xiao and said with concern: "Grandpa Xiao, you just woke up and your body is still very weak. You can't get up and walk right away. It's better to lie in bed and rest first."
"After a while, I will give you acupuncture and moxibustion to help you recover your strength."
Ruan Chuxia explained patiently.
Old Master Xiao looked at Ruan Chuxia excitedly, with a grateful smile on his face.
"Xiao Xia, thank you so much. If it weren't for your careful care, I, an old man, would have died long ago!"
Old Master Xiao sighed, his eyes full of emotion.
"Hey, back then, your grandfather saved me so many times when I was in danger of death. I never thought that now that he's old, his granddaughter would come to save my life again. Our Xiao family owes your Ruan family a debt that I'm afraid we'll never be able to repay in our lifetime!"
When mentioning Mr. Jin, Xiao Jianjun couldn't help wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
The memories of the past made him feel a pang of pain in his heart.
Seeing this, Ruan Chuxia patted his back gently and said softly, "Grandpa Xiao, if my grandfather saw how you are taking care of me now, he would definitely be very grateful to you! I believe he would feel very relieved."
Xiao Jianjun held her hand tightly, tears streaming down his face as he said, "This is what I should do. This is what I should do! For you and for your grandfather, I am willing to do this."
"By the way, how are you and Zhiyu doing lately?"
Xiao Jianjun then asked with concern.
Then his expression suddenly turned serious.
"Xiao Xia, if Zhiyu bullies you, you must tell me and I will teach him a lesson!"
"Don't ever hold back from speaking out because of fear or concern, you hear me?"
Xiao Jianjun was afraid that Ruan Chuxia would be wronged, so he repeatedly held her hand and reminded her.
Facing Grandpa Xiao who cared so much about her, Ruan Chuxia nodded with emotion and responded, "I understand, Grandpa, please rest assured."
Then she glanced at the clock on the wall and found that it was already late. She smiled and said to Xiao Jianjun, "Grandpa, it's getting late now. I have to leave first."
She held up the lunch box in her hand to show it to the other party, and said with a smile: "Also, Xiao Lichang is still waiting for me to bring him food!"
Seeing that they were on good terms, Xiao Jianjun felt a little relieved. He urged with a smile, "Okay, then hurry over there. Don't let Comrade Village Chief starve."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Ruan Chuxia replied.
Carrying a lunch box containing warm meals, Ruan Chuxia slowly walked out of the room and walked along the corridor.
Mr. Xiao is currently resting in an ordinary ward on the first floor.
Because there are not many patients here, the entire corridor seems particularly quiet.
Suddenly, there were bursts of hurried footsteps coming from a distance.
This was followed by a woman's shrill cry.
"Hurry! Make way! Go and notify Dr. Yang right away! Act quickly!"
"Yuan Cheng! Please wake up and stop scaring us. If something unexpected happens, what will happen to the child and I? Yuan Cheng!"
The woman was very emotional.
"Ma'am, please try to remain calm. We need to begin emergency treatment immediately. Please cooperate with us and let us handle the situation."
A staff member who was also involved in the rescue tried to calm her down.
The smell of blood reached Ruan Chuxia before she could smell it. Her nose twitched slightly and her brows furrowed.
I seem to have heard this name somewhere, but I can't remember where it is.
Three or four medical staff hurriedly pushed the stretcher and ran towards the emergency room.
