Ning Nanxue sat on the edge of the bed, gently peeling an apple. The atmosphere was a bit depressing.
Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open and Mrs. Xu walked in.
"Mrs. Xu, why are you here?" Ning Nanxue was a little surprised and quickly stood up to greet her.
"I came to see Tingchen." Madam Xu said, her eyes falling on Jiang Tingchen, "Tingchen, how are you? Are you seriously injured?"
"Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Xu. I'm fine." Jiang Tingchen said with a forced smile.
"How could he be fine? He was so badly injured." Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "What on earth happened? How could he get into a car accident out of the blue?"
"Tingchen, have you offended someone?" Mrs. Xu asked with a hint of temptation in her tone.
"Mrs. Xu, we actually suspect..." Ning Nanxue wanted to hide it, after all, there was no solid evidence, but Jiang Tingchen interrupted her.
"We suspect that it was Fu Chen who did it." Jiang Tingchen said in a calm tone, but his eyes were extremely firm.
"What?" Ning Nanxue looked at Jiang Tingchen in surprise. She didn't expect him to say it so bluntly.
"Fu Chen?" Madam Xu frowned, seeming a little surprised, but then regained her composure. "Do you have any evidence?"
"No." Jiang Tingchen said, "But, apart from him, I can't think of anyone else who would do this."
"This..." Madam Xu pondered for a moment and said, "I will pay attention to this matter, don't worry."
"Thank you, Mrs. Xu." Ning Nanxue said, feeling a warmth in her heart.
"Tingchen, take good care of yourself and let me know if you need anything." Madam Xu said, "Nanxue, you have to take care of yourself too."
"Okay, I understand, Mrs. Xu." Ning Nanxue nodded.
"By the way, Nanxue, there is something I want to talk to you about alone." Mrs. Xu said suddenly.
"Okay." Ning Nanxue was stunned for a moment, then agreed.
The two walked out of the ward and came to the end of the corridor.
"Mrs. Xu, do you have anything to tell me?" Ning Nanxue asked.
"Nanxue, I know you're a smart kid," Mrs. Xu said, her tone meaningful. "There are some things you should understand without me having to explain them."
"I understand." Ning Nanxue nodded.
"Since you suspect Fu Chen was responsible, what about Xu Zhiru?" Mrs. Xu asked, "Is it possible that she was involved?"
"This..." Ning Nanxue hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know."
"Well, let me give you a suggestion," Mrs. Xu said, "invite Xu Zhiru out for a meal alone and test her opinion."
"You mean..." Ning Nanxue immediately understood Madam Xu's hint, "Let me test her?"
"That's right." Madam Xu nodded. "If they really did this, then Xu Zhiru couldn't have no flaws at all."
"Okay, I understand." Ning Nanxue said, "Thank you, Madam Xu."
"You're welcome." Mrs. Xu smiled. "I just hope you're all doing well."
"I will." Ning Nanxue said with a firm tone.
After Mrs. Xu left, Ning Nanxue returned to the ward thoughtfully.
"Xue'er, what did you say to Mrs. Xu?" Jiang Tingchen asked.
"Nothing." Ning Nanxue smiled and didn't tell Jiang Tingchen about the conversation. "Just some things about cooperation."
"Oh." Jiang Tingchen nodded without asking any more questions.
Ning Nanxue sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Jiang Tingchen's pale face, feeling guilty.
"Silly." Jiang Tingchen smiled, "What does this have to do with you?"
"Yeah." Ning Nanxue nodded, her eyes a little moist.
Now is not the time to be sad, she has more important things to do.
She took out her cell phone, found Manager Song's number, and dialed it.
"Hey, Xiaoli, are you free now?"
"I'm free, what's the matter?" Manager Song asked.
"Can you help me look up Xu Zhiru's phone number?" Ning Nanxue said, "I need to contact her for something."
"Xu Zhiru?" Manager Song was a little surprised. "Why are you looking for her?"
"Don't worry about this matter." Ning Nanxue said, "Just help me find her phone number."
"Okay." Manager Song agreed, "I'll send it to you after I find out."
"Thank you." After hanging up the phone, Ning Nanxue felt a little complicated.
Not only for myself, but also for Jiang Tingchen.
Soon, Manager Song sent Xu Zhiru's phone number.
Ning Nanxue looked at the string of numbers on the phone screen, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed the number.
The phone rang a few times and then was connected.
"Hello, who is this?" Xu Zhiru's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of laziness and arrogance.
"Hello, Miss Xu, I'm Ning Nanxue." Ning Nanxue said in a calm tone.
"Ning Nanxue?" Xu Zhiru was obviously a little surprised. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"I want to invite you to dinner. Do you have time?" Ning Nanxue said.
"Eat?" Xu Zhiru sneered, "It seems there's nothing delicious between us, right?"
"Ms. Xu, there may be some misunderstandings between us." Ning Nanxue said, "But I hope we can sit down and have a good talk."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Zhiru asked, "Those messes between you and Fu Chen?"
"No, I want to talk to you about Jiang Tingchen." Ning Nanxue said.
Xu Zhiru thought about it and decided to go to the appointment.
She wanted to see what tricks Ning Nanxue was trying to play.
Moreover, she has the amulet of "depression", and she doesn't believe that Ning Nanxue dares to do anything to her.
However, she decided to make some preparations just in case.
Xu Zhiru did not tell Fu Chen about her appointment, but she deliberately left some clues.
She left her cell phone on the sofa in the living room, and then left a note on Fu Chen's desk, which read "I'm going to meet a friend and will be back soon."
She believed that with Fu Chen's intelligence, he would be able to discover these clues and find her.
At that time, she could take the opportunity to show her weakness and innocence, making Fu Chen feel even more sorry for her.
After everything was ready, Xu Zhiru went out.
She came to a high-end restaurant where Ning Nanxue was already waiting for her.
"Mr. Ning, things are really different now. You even invited me, your love rival, to dinner." Xu Zhiru said with a smile, a hint of hypocrisy in her tone.
"I'm no longer interested in Fu Chen." Ning Nanxue said indifferently, "Miss Xu, please take a seat."
Xu Zhiru sat down opposite Ning Nanxue. On the surface, the two of them exchanged polite greetings, but undercurrents were actually stirring.
"I wonder what's the matter that Mr. Ning wants me to come here today?" Xu Zhiru asked with a hint of temptation in her tone.
"It's nothing serious." Ning Nanxue said, "I just want to talk to you about Tingchen."
