Chapter 141 The Person Wakes Up
Chapter 141 The Person Wakes Up
Daylight broke.
Sunlight streamed in through the window.
The person in the hospital bed twitched their eyelids.
The machine made a sound, then fell silent again.
Zhou Ran woke up from her nap.
He looked in Xia Chenggan's direction.
It's been three days already.
Xia Chenggan's physical condition has stabilized.
But the person still hasn't woken up.
A neurosurgeon also came to examine the patient.
This indicates that blood clots are blocking the brain, compressing the nerves.
Surgery is too dangerous.
They need to have a consultation.
They also said if they were lucky.
The blood clots will be absorbed and metabolized on their own, and the person will wake up.
These words are no different from saying nothing at all.
If it weren't for the fact that we still need those experts to save our lives.
Xia Cheng'an wanted to rush up and punch them a few times.
Xia Chengjie came in from outside.
"Young Master Zhou, take a rest and have something to eat."
Xia Chengjie shoved the lunchbox into Zhou Ran's hand.
"This is specially made for you by your aunt. Eat more and take care of yourself. If you lose weight, my brother will be heartbroken when he wakes up."
Zhou Ran smiled.
"He needs to wake up too. He's so weak. He's acting like he's going to die over such a small injury."
Xia Chengjie smiled but didn't expose Zhou Ran.
If Zhou Ran really disliked her brother, she wouldn't have stayed by his bedside day and night.
She tried every possible method to wake her brother.
How stupid he must have been to believe Gu Tingxiao's words.
Those promises made off the cuff are nothing more than casual lies.
He believed them all.
Each one became a knife that wounded him.
He's so stupid.
Zhou Ran looked at Xia Chengjie and saw the sad expression on his face, knowing that he had fallen into a melodramatic trance again.
This child is good in every way, except that he overthinks things and is too stupid.
They easily get lost in their own little world, wallowing in melancholy and sentimentality.
Respecting the fate of others, Zhou Ran decided not to help anymore.
Outsiders can help him once, but not for a lifetime.
Some shackles you have to break free from yourself.
Only then can one transform from a cocoon into a butterfly.
"I'll eat, you take care of him."
"Leave it to me!"
Zhou Ran went to a table to eat.
After eating some vegetables, Zhou Ran stopped eating.
He hasn't had a good appetite lately; he gets full after eating just a little.
I glanced at the food on the table that had been put away after only a few bites.
Xia Chengjie couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
If this continues, his brother won't wake up, but his sister-in-law will collapse first.
"Young Master Zhou, the chicken soup was freshly made this morning, please drink more."
"Um."
Zhou Ran nodded, but didn't drink.
He hates the taste of chicken soup.
Perhaps I was hurt too much in my past life.
He dislikes others because he sees others having chicken soup to drink while he doesn't.
"I'm going out for a bit. You take care of your brother!"
"good."
Zhou Ran went out.
Xia Chengjie took over the task of taking care of Xia Chenggan.
Neither of them noticed that Xia Chenggan's fingers twitched after Zhou Ran left.
Zhou Ran stood in the hospital, reaching out to shield his eyes from the sunlight shining on him.
It was only three days in the hospital, but it felt like I was in a completely different world.
For the first time, Zhou Ran felt that the sunlight in this world was somewhat dazzling.
"Boss!"
The car stopped in front of him with the window open.
Inside is Qiu Dun's face.
"Um."
Zhou Ran walked over, opened the car door, and got in.
Let's go!
"good."
Qiu Dun started the car, and they quickly left the hospital.
On the hospital bed, Xia Chengjie pulled out a history book, sat up straight, and prepared to give his brother a little shock.
"The doctor said that if I talk to you more, you'll wake up. I don't know what to say, so I'll just read to you!"
Of the brothers, Xia Chengjie was the one most afraid of Xia Chenggan.
I've been afraid since I was a child.
Xia Chenggan has absolute control over Xia Chengjie.
Xia Chengjie is timid and introverted.
The usual way the two of them get along.
It's basically no different from police interrogation of criminals.
Xia Chenggan is a police officer and is in charge of asking questions.
Xia Chengjie was instructed to confess and give leniency, and to answer truthfully.
Then the conversation ended.
Even now that Xia Chenggan is lying in bed, Xia Chengjie doesn't dare to speak casually.
The task the doctor gave him was practically a death sentence.
But we can't not do it.
Xia Chengjie decided to settle for second best and instead enroll his older brother in school.
"The first emperor of the Han Dynasty... According to unofficial historical records, the emperors of the Han Dynasty had unusual sexual preferences and liked to keep male concubines; they were all homosexuals..."
"Forehead……"
Xia Chengjie looked at the cover and was somewhat doubtful. Was this a legitimate history book?
Why did we suddenly start talking about unofficial history? Did he get a fake copy?
What are you trying to say?
"It doesn't matter if someone is male or female when you like them..."
Xia Chengjie gestured for a reply.
Then it dawned on him that he and his older brother were the only two people in the room.
Who just asked that question?
Xia Chengjie suddenly looked up and met a pair of familiar yet authoritative eyes.
"You're awake! You're finally awake! Doctor, doctor!"
Xia Chengjie jumped up from his chair and rushed out to find a doctor.
Xia Chenggan glanced at the call button on the side.
Did that kid forget there's a call button in the room?
That's incredibly stupid.
He reached out with difficulty and pressed the call button.
Then came a series of chaotic events.
Zhou Ran, who was away from home, was unaware that Xia Chenggan left not long after he left.
His car quickly stopped outside a villa.
This place is familiar; Zhou Ran has been here many times.
It's the villa that was given to Shen Shuyun before.
Later, Shen Shuyun was sent abroad, and this place became vacant.
The true owner is still Gu Tingxiao.
However, it is still registered under Shen Shuyun's name.
Qiu Dun got out of the car and knocked on the door.
The door opened.
Zhou Ran followed her inside.
There was already someone sitting on the sofa.
An acquaintance.
Zhou Ran sat down on the sofa opposite her.
I looked at the familiar person across from me.
"It seems life abroad isn't good; you've lost a lot of weight."
Shen Shuyun smiled and smoothed her hair.
"Young Master Zhou, it's been a long time."
"I don't want to see you, and we're not even close. No need for all that talk, I don't have time to waste. Just tell me what you're after."
Shen Shuyun was still smiling.
"As expected of Young Master Zhou, I just want to ask for your help. I want to get back to Tingxiao's side. I'm sure that's a piece of cake for you, Young Master Zhou! After all, Tingxiao listens to you so much."
When she said the last sentence, Shen Shuyun gritted her teeth.
If it weren't for Zhou Ran, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
They were treated as mentally ill and sent abroad.
Her life of luxury and the wealth that was within her grasp vanished just like that.
She was unwilling to accept it.
"Heh, what makes you think I'd help you?"
Zhou Ran found it laughable.
Where does this woman get her confidence that she can help her?
I didn't kill her, but there were just too many things to do at the time.
In addition, this woman lost Gu Tingxiao and was replaced by someone else.
The female lead, who was originally destined for greatness, has now become cannon fodder and a mere white moonlight.
Discarded tools don't deserve much attention.
I never expected to be able to show off in front of him.
"You will help me. I'll exchange it for President Xia's safety."
Shen Shuyun was filled with a smug sense of confidence.
"Something happened to President Xia. He's unconscious. If you want him to wake up, you have to agree to my request. Only I can wake President Xia up."
Shen Shuyun knew how much Zhou Ran cared about Xia Chenggan.
If Xia Chenggan is used as a bargaining chip, Zhou Ran will definitely agree to anything.
She wants to use Zhou Ran to reclaim everything that rightfully belongs to her.
Those who looked down on her and bullied her will pay the price.
Zhou Ran looked Shen Shuyun up and down.
A white dress and straight hair—it's the typical look of a pure and innocent "white lotus."
That also lives up to her public image.
This person is just like the vicious, seemingly innocent characters in those domineering CEO novels.
Unscrupulous, insane, and utterly gullible.
Zhou Ran curled her lips into a smile.
He laughed mockingly.
"Do you think I care whether Xia Chenggan lives or dies?"
It would be best if he were alive, but if he were dead...
"From where I am now, everything he has belongs to me!"
Shen Shuyun's smile froze for a moment, then returned to normal.
"Stop pretending. I know you like him, you like him so much you can't help yourself."
All you did was to stand by President Xia's side.
Pretending not to care now is just a way to sober him up.
Zhou Ran said she didn't care, but Shen Shuyun didn't believe it at all.
If you really don't care, you won't come to see her immediately after receiving her message.
She was delivering a message while concealing her identity.
She only said that she had a way to save people.
Zhou Ran arrived eagerly.
If you truly don't care, then you truly don't love Xia Chenggan.
Why do so much for Xia Chenggan?
Zhou Ran's previous obsessive pursuit of someone.
She was also a witness.
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Zhou Ran shrugged and didn't intend to explain further.
It's all because he maintained such a good image in public.
Everyone thought he was deeply in love with Xia Chenggan.
Qiu Dun looked at Shen Shuyun as if she were a fool.
Is this woman too confident?
That's a bit too much confidence.
Their leader likes Xia Chenggan?
Haha, their boss likes dogs more than Xia Chenggan does.
"I won't keep you in suspense any longer, this is the medicine that can save Xia Chenggan."
Shen Shuyun took a small glass bottle out of her pocket, which contained a yellow, transparent liquid.
"This is a byproduct of the research and development at that base. It can cure the poison in Xia Chenggan's body. As long as you help me get back to Gu Tingxiao's side and take the position of Mrs. Gu, it will be yours."
"You're so brazen about taking it out, aren't you afraid we'll just snatch it?"
Shen Shuyun raised her chin high.
He said it confidently.
"I definitely have my trump card. This is the antidote, but you don't know the dosage. Blindly injecting it into Xia Chenggan's body will only hasten his death!"
Shen Shuyun placed the medicine bottle on the table and pushed it towards Zhou Ran.
"If you keep your promise, I will also keep my promise. This is better for everyone."
Zhou Ran lifted her foot and placed one foot on the edge of the coffee table.
The soles of the white sneakers blocked the medicine bottle from falling.
Zhou Ran looked up.
The smile didn't reach his eyes.
"Do you think I'm stupid enough to believe a bad person like you?"
Shen Shuyun's determined face froze.
Why isn't he following the expected path?
Shouldn't they agree to cooperate and then go rescue Xia Chenggan?
After all, Xia Chenggan was so important to him.
Gu Tingxiao, however, didn't care at all.
This transaction did Zhou Ran absolutely no harm.
Why did he disagree?
"This deal has no impact on you, so why don't you agree?"
"Oh, because I don't like being fooled by idiots."
Zhou Ran's eyes sharpened.
"The car accident and the assassination attempt were both targeted at Xia Chenggan. Regardless of who was behind it, his ultimate goal was always to kill Xia Chenggan."
