When Jiang Zhou took her home, Tan Yuchen was no longer in the car.
As he got off the bus, he handed Meng Jiuyi a bag of ointment for minor injuries, which puzzled Meng Jiuyi.
Jiang Zhou said, "Miss Meng, this is what the Third Young Master ordered. You should clean the wound on your hand."
Meng Jiuyi was stunned for a moment, then reached out and took it.
"Thanks."
Having gone through all that, she certainly couldn't be so presumptuous as to think that Tan Yuchen had any feelings for her.
She was just somewhat impressed, and had to admit that this person was truly adept at managing subordinates, and he had mastered the art of giving a slap followed by a sweet treat.
You should hate him, but in the end, he pretends to be thoughtful and considerate in the details. Gentle and considerate.
If she were even slightly out of her mind, she might already be eagerly counting money for him.
After the car left, Meng Jiuyi opened the medicine packet, but instead of wiping with a cotton swab, he poured the alcohol directly onto the back of his hand.
The burning pain turned her lips white instantly, and she clenched her teeth to keep from making a sound.
She needs to be vigilant and not have any unrealistic desires.

During Tan Ni's hospitalization, a constant stream of people came to visit, but they were all turned away outside the ward. The bodyguard explained that it was the Third Young Master's order to let the Fourth Miss rest and recuperate.
During this period, something quite remarkable happened in Kyushu: the Chen family, a newly rich family that had just emerged with their money exchange and casinos, vanished overnight. Not only did the operating rights of more than thirty casinos change hands, but the dissolute young master of the Chen family also disappeared without a trace.
There are many different rumors, some saying he got infected by someone, others saying he squandered his family fortune and had his arm cut off.
Feng Ran has been asked about this a lot lately. Normally, she could have earned a good reputation for arranging Meng Jiuyi's marriage, but with the Chen family's sudden downfall, Chen Xiaoran's past deeds have also been exposed.
Who knows what her true intentions were in arranging this marriage?
Feng Lan has already been sent to a South Asian island, so the blame for her ill intentions naturally falls on Feng Ran. She feels even more ashamed and claims to be sick to reduce her outings.
Meng Jiuyi has been busy with work and going back and forth to the hospital lately, so she hasn't been back to the Meng residence and naturally doesn't know about these disagreements.
The press conference for Wang Ru's new film "Blind Girl" was finally scheduled for the end of the month. The boss was constantly pulling them into meetings to coordinate materials and discuss marketing plans. The least technically demanding task in all of this was logistics—
This job was thankless and arduous, involving miscellaneous tasks such as booking hotels for the lead actors, coordinating the schedules of various departments, and maintaining order on set.
When no colleagues were willing to take the call, Meng Jiuyi volunteered and then knocked on the door of the supervisor's office.
"Sister Fang, could I take two hours off in the morning for the next two weeks and make up for it in the evening?"
Meng Jiuyi said that a friend of hers was hospitalized, and the hospital was an hour's drive away, so she didn't have time to travel back and forth.
The visit was genuine, but going so early was also a genuine attempt to avoid Tan Yuchen.
Fangjie agreed.
The next morning when she went to the hospital, Tan Ni was throwing a tantrum, throwing all the lunchboxes on the ground.
"Come on, I told you I don't want to eat anymore. I've already recovered, so why do you keep making me go for all these checkups every day!"
After venting her anger, Tan Ni saw someone standing outside the door with tears in their eyes, and felt somewhat embarrassed.
She wasn't an unreasonable person; Tan Yuchen had taught her long ago not to vent her temper on the weak. Today was an accident.
The maid didn't know what to do, so Meng Jiuyi gave her a look, signaling her to go out first.
After everyone left, she squatted down and picked up the boxes one by one.
Leaning against the hospital bed, Tan Ni couldn't help but say, "You don't need to do these things."
Meng Jiuyi asked, "You don't like this?"
"It doesn't matter what you eat."
Tan Ni said dejectedly, "Anyway, no matter what it is, it will become the cause of my illness."
She suffers from severe acute asthma. From childhood to adulthood, what Tan Ni hates most is the sudden chaos and turmoil that follows a peaceful moment.
She hated the whole family going to so much trouble for her illness, hated how cautious others were, and hated the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.
Meng Jiuyi sat down in front of her, coaxing her like a child.
"What a coincidence! This useless person you're talking about just saved me from dire straits a few days ago."
Tan Ni looked up.
“If you hadn’t stood up for me that night, I might have… There were so many healthy people in the bar and even in the private room that night, but no one came to help me.”
Meng Jiuyi's eyes were filled with apology and gratitude. If she had known that Tan Ni had asthma, she would never have done this.
"Don't say that. Anyone would have helped. It's all that scum's fault. I just regret that I'm not healthy enough to help. I shouldn't have let those two guys with me leave. At least I could have beaten him to a pulp."
As she spoke, she clenched her fist, and her beautiful eyes regained their sparkle.
Meng Jiuyi's eyes were filled with a smile.
Half a second later, Tan Ni also chuckled.
Meng Jiuyi noticed her stirring the plain porridge on the table listlessly. "Are you tired of this for breakfast? I don't see you've touched it."
"It's all my brother's fault!"
Tan Ni said that she asked the family chef to cook something light, but the chef thought it meant plain porridge and side dishes. She was a fan of sugary food, so how could she enjoy such food?
What was said in jest was taken seriously. When Meng Jiuyi came to visit her the next morning, he brought nine different kinds of refreshing summer cakes, made with xylitol, with lifelike flower shapes and various colors.
Tan Ni is kind-hearted and a good girl. Her family dotes on her so much, so Meng Jiuyi is willing to do something to make her happy.
"Jiuyi, did you do this?" Tan Ni looked at her in surprise.
Meng Jiuyi nodded with a smile.
Mo Ruyue is a skilled cook, and Meng Jiuyi learned a little bit of everything from her since childhood.
Tan Ni picked it up and took a bite, exclaiming how delicious it was. Meng Jiuyi then brought it to her every day, and as their relationship grew, he started calling her "Little Jiuyi."
When Tan Yuchen came to the ward, she was with a hamster that had been stealing food, its mouth still covered with leftover bits of food. She quickly hid the food box.
"What are you hiding?" Tan Yuchen sat on the sofa and glanced at her.
"N-nothing..."
Despite saying that, under the intimidating gaze of the other party, he still obediently handed it over.
Tan Yuchen clicked his tongue. "It's not that I don't want you to eat fried food—"
"This isn't fried; it's a pastry with xylitol added as a sugar substitute. Besides, I'm a patient, what's wrong with eating a little?"
She was long-winded and unforgiving.
The presentation looked pretty good, so Tan Yuchen picked out a piece from the food box and popped it into his mouth.
"Why did you steal my things? This was made for me by Jiu Yi."
Tan Yuchen realized who she was talking about and raised an eyebrow, saying, "She did it?"
"Why not? -- Hey, hey, you're not allowed to eat this much. It's only a little bit."
Tan Ni slapped away her brother's hand, which was about to reach out again.
Tan Yuchen wouldn't go so far as to snatch something from her, so he withdrew his hand and said in a neutral tone.
When did she arrive?
"Good morning." Tan Ni said, puzzled. "By the way, you haven't met Jiu Yi yet, have you? She's Meng..."
Once she started rambling on, she wouldn't stop. Tan Yuchen asked casually, "You've only been together a few days and you're already this close?"
Tan Ni said firmly, "So what if it's only been a few days? Friends aren't made over time. We hit it off immediately."
Tan Yuchen chuckled, his voice laced with sarcasm.
Only his sister believed in the idea of instant connection. Some people don't get up early for nothing, and she was clearly trying to get close to him. He didn't know she would do these things; she really put a lot of thought into it.
Even though he could tell that she was trying to curry favor with Tan Ni, Tan Yuchen didn't intend to stop her.
If Meng Jiuyi dares to scheme against Tan Ni again, he has plenty of ways to deal with her.
