The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant, which made people feel depressed and dull.
Ning Nanxue sat beside the hospital bed, looking at Jiang Tingchen's pale face, her heart filled with guilt and self-blame.
She had been guarding here for three days and three nights. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face looked much more haggard.
During these three days, she kept thinking about every detail of her acquaintance with Jiang Tingchen, her heart filled with regret and self-blame.
If something really happened to Jiang Tingchen, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
On the morning of the fourth day, Jiang Tingchen finally woke up. He was heartbroken when he saw Ning Nanxue's haggard appearance.
"Xue'er, how did you get yourself into this state?" Jiang Tingchen said weakly, "I'm fine, aren't I?"
"Senior, you're finally awake!" Ning Nanxue cried with joy, "You scared me to death, did you know that?"
"Silly girl, I'm fine, aren't I?" Jiang Tingchen smiled and tried to raise his hand to touch her head, but found that he was too weak. "Don't cry, you won't be beautiful if you cry anymore."
Ning Nanxue burst into laughter. She held Jiang Tingchen's hand tightly and said, "Senior, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have involved you in this."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Tingchen said, "We are friends, and we should help each other. Besides, I'm not doing this entirely for you. I've long disliked Fu Chen."
Ning Nanxue looked at Jiang Tingchen, her heart filled with emotion. She knew that Jiang Tingchen said this for her sake, and he didn't want her to have any psychological burden.
"Senior, please stop talking and get some rest." Ning Nanxue said, "The doctor said you lost too much blood and need to rest."
"Yeah." Jiang Tingchen nodded. "What about you? You haven't slept a wink these past few days, have you? Go get some rest."
"I'm not sleepy." Ning Nanxue shook her head. "I want to stay with you."
"Be obedient." Jiang Tingchen's voice was weak, but it carried a hint of irresistible tenderness. "If you keep going like this, your body will collapse. Have you forgotten that you have more important things to do?"
Ning Nanxue was stunned. Then she remembered that she couldn't fall down. She had to recover her strength as soon as possible and continue to fight with Fu Chen.
"Okay, I'll go rest for a while." Ning Nanxue said, "Call me if you need anything. I'm in the next room."
"Well, go ahead." Jiang Tingchen said.
Ning Nanxue reluctantly left the ward. She went to the lounge next door and lay on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep.
The scene of Jiang Tingchen being injured kept appearing in her mind, and her heart was filled with fear and anxiety.
She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside the door. She quickly got up, opened the door and saw that it was Secretary Chen.
"Mr. Ning, are you okay?" Secretary Chen asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Ning Nanxue shook her head. "Why are you here?"
"I heard Mr. Jiang was injured, so I came to see him," Secretary Chen said. "You haven't been to the company these past few days, and it's a mess."
"What's going on with Fu Chen?" Ning Nanxue asked.
"He's already in a state of panic," Secretary Chen said. "The negative information you released earlier dealt a heavy blow to him. Now, the shareholders are forcing him to step down, and he can barely save himself."
"That's good." Ning Nanxue breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that our plan was successful."
"Mr. Ning, what are you going to do next?" asked Secretary Chen.
"Mr. Jiang is still lying in the hospital, you..." Secretary Chen hesitated to speak.
"I know." Ning Nanxue interrupted Secretary Chen, "I will take good care of you, senior. Don't worry."
"Mr. Ning, you have to take care of yourself," Secretary Chen said. "If you keep going like this, your body won't be able to handle it."
"I understand. You can go back first." Ning Nanxue said, "I'll leave the company's affairs to you."
"Okay, Mr. Ning, I'll let you know when there's any news." Secretary Chen nodded, turned and left.
Ning Nanxue returned to the ward and saw that Jiang Tingchen was already asleep.
She walked gently to the bed, looked at his peaceful sleeping face, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Senior." She said silently in her heart, "Thank you for always being by my side. Thank you for doing so much for me."
She picked up a towel, dipped it in warm water, and gently wiped Jiang Tingchen's forehead and cheeks.
She moved very gently, afraid to wake him.
"Senior, you must get better soon." She said softly, "I still have a lot to say to you, and a lot to do with you."
She stayed quietly by Jiang Tingchen's side until dawn.
The next day, Jiang Tingchen's condition improved a lot and he was able to get out of bed and move around.
Ning Nanxue accompanied him for a walk in the hospital garden, breathing the fresh air and feeling the warmth of the sun.
"Xue'er, thank you for taking care of me these past few days." Jiang Tingchen said, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..."
"Senior, stop talking nonsense." Ning Nanxue interrupted Jiang Tingchen, "If it wasn't because of me, how could you be injured?"
Ning Nanxue put aside her usual fierce look and smiled slightly: "Senior, it's my duty to take care of you. Just have a good rest. Don't think about anything else during this period of time."
He was naturally happy that his sweetheart had softened her stance, so he stopped talking and enjoyed the rare peace.
On the other side, the Fu family.
"This Ning Nanxue is really going too far!" Fu Chen slammed the table with a loud bang, and the documents on the table scattered all over the floor. His eyes were red and the veins on his forehead were bulging.
Xu Zhiru stood aside, looking at Fu Chen's furious expression, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
She walked forward gently and said softly, "Ah Chen, don't be angry. It's not worth it to hurt yourself."
"How can I not be angry?!" Fu Chen's voice was hoarse, filled with uncontrollable anger. "That woman Ning Nanxue is trying to destroy me and the Fu Group! Not only did she cause me to be removed from the board of directors, she also wants to kill me!"
"Achen, calm down first." Xu Zhiru reached out and gently stroked Fu Chen's back, trying to calm him down.
"Let's think of another way. We can definitely deal with her."
"What else can we do?" Fu Chen sat back in his chair dejectedly, covering his face with his hands, his voice full of fatigue.
Xu Zhiru smiled, a calculating look flashing in her eyes. "Ah Chen, I heard that Jiang Tingchen was injured? Could this be related to Ning Nanxue?"
Fu Chen's eyes glared, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Zhiru. "You mean..."
"Think about it, Jiang Tingchen has always protected Ning Nanxue. Could it be that Ning Nanxue deliberately arranged for him to get out of the way?" Xu Zhiru's voice was filled with allure. "After all, if you stand in her way, she'll do anything."
