Chapter 4: A Tense Atmosphere



Fu Nanxiao was unaware that he would be unable to stand. He had previously held great power and was so full of vigor, a true prodigy. The thought of suddenly having to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair must have been a huge blow to him.

However, no matter what, he's still better than her.

Jiang Yilai silently brought over warm water and a towel, preparing to wipe his sweat.

The next second, her eyes widened suddenly, and the basin in her hand clattered to the ground.

On the bed, Fu Nanxiao gritted his teeth, his hand trembling as he lifted it off the bed. But soon, he ran out of strength, and his hand fell down uncontrollably!

Jiang Yilai instinctively rushed over and tightly grasped his weak hand.

"You did it! Fu Nanxiao, you can raise your hand now!"

She was very excited, her almond-shaped eyes were moist and full of joyful smiles.

The light shone down from above, filtering through Jiang Yilai's loose hair. Her red lips were turned up high, and her unadorned happiness almost dazzled Fu Nanxiao.

He was conscious and could clearly feel the delicate, warm touch on his hands.

But strangely, this time he didn't feel that sense of rejection and irritability that he had to suppress to control.

Fu Nanxiao raised his hand, his mood was not bad, but his eyebrows and eyes were cold and his face still had that cold and creepy look.

Jiang Yilai met his cold gaze, and her lost rationality instantly returned.

She then realized that she was actually holding Fu Nanxiao's hand!

Jiang Yilai's heart pounded, and her face flushed red to her ears. She quickly put his hand under the blanket.

She hurriedly cleaned up the water that was all over the floor, then prepared water and towels to wipe Fu Nanxiao's sweat.

This time, Fu Nanxiao simply closed his eyes and did not object.

Before going to sleep, Jiang Yilai hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Congratulations, things will definitely get better and better from now on."

In the darkness, Fu Nanxiao slowly opened his eyes, his deep, unfathomable gaze revealing unfathomable emotions.

Time flies.

Following the doctor's instructions, Jiang Yilai massaged Fu Nanxiao twice a day, morning and evening. She was not very strong, and she would be covered in sweat after each massage.

Fu Nanxiao gradually regained sensation in his upper body and was able to sit in a wheelchair and perform some daily activities.

Even the doctors said he recovered very quickly, which was nothing short of a miracle.

But only Jiang Yilai knew that this miracle was largely due to Fu Nanxiao's inhuman will and effort.

After giving Fu Nanxiao a massage in the morning, Jiang Yilai grabbed her bag and left.

Since marrying into the Fu family, she has rarely gone out. This time, however, it was to meet a senior from her school.

The wind chimes hanging on the coffee shop door rang out with a clear, crisp sound.

As soon as Jiang Yilai entered, she saw Liang Jiayun sitting by the window, looking down at the documents.

Liang Jiayun has delicate features and a slender figure. After taking off his down jacket, he revealed a white shirt and gray vest underneath. He exudes a scholarly air and looks gentle and refined.

Many girls in the coffee shop were glancing at him.

Jiang Yilai walked over quickly and couldn't help but smile: "Senior, it's been a long time!"

Liang Jiayun looked up, a smile appearing on his handsome face: "Long time no see."

After she sat down, Liang Jiayun pointed to the coffee in front of her: "It's too cold, so I changed your favorite iced Americano to a hot Americano. It's still the same, with milk but no sugar. The temperature is about right now for you to drink."

Jiang Yilai took a sip, the rich aroma of coffee and its warmth flowing into her body, and she comfortably squinted her eyes.

"My senior is as considerate as ever."

Liang Jiayun smiled and handed over the documents in his hand: "These are the equity transfer agreement and power of attorney you requested."

Jiang Yilai looked at it carefully.

Liang Jiayun comes from a prominent family and runs his own law firm. He wouldn't take on such a small case unless the two of them had a personal relationship.

There was naturally no problem with what he had prepared.

Jiang Yilai glanced at it and signed the authorization form: "No problem. I'll trouble you to contact the Jiang family next."

Liang Jiayun nodded, thought for a moment, and then carefully asked, "May I ask why you want to sell your shares in Jiang's? As far as I know, Fu's recently invested in Jiang's, and the company's stock price has been soaring. Your father took advantage of this to launch many projects, and it seems to be developing very well. It doesn't seem like a good deal for you to sell now."

Jiang Yilai felt very uncomfortable when she heard the word "dad" and couldn't help but frown.

Liang Jiayun misunderstood and quickly explained, "I was just reminding you from a friend's perspective, I didn't mean to stop you."

"Don't worry, senior, I understand what you mean."

Jiang Yilai sighed, truly unsure of what to say.

Mr. Jiang was not cut out for business. When Jiang got into trouble, he sold her to the Fu family to get investment.

But Fu Nanxiao has already woken up, and it's uncertain how long their marriage will last. When the Fu family withdraws their investment, Jiang's father can't possibly sell a second daughter to the Fu family.

Therefore, severing all financial ties with the Jiang family now is the best option.

Few people knew that she had married Fu Nanxiao, and Jiang Yilai had no intention of saying more.

After thinking for a moment, she simply said bluntly, "I personally don't have a good outlook on the development of the Jiang family. In addition, my relationship with my family is not good. When they invested this time, they took the opportunity to dilute my shares. Rather than let them drive me out, I might as well take this opportunity to make a profit."

"Moreover, I have already passed the bar exam and want to open a law firm with someone after graduation. That's exactly when I need money."

Having been a lawyer for a long time, Liang Jiayun has seen all sorts of strange things, such as loving fathers and filial sons, so he wasn't too surprised by this.

He simply raised an eyebrow and joked, "Junior Sister, are you trying to steal my business?"

Jiang Yilai smiled and said, "How could I possibly compete with my senior? I just don't want to work for someone else. Once my firm is established, I'll have to ask my senior to introduce me to some business."

"Don't worry, if you get a bite of meat, you'll get a sip of soup."

After talking with Liang Jiayun, Jiang Yilai was in a good mood.

She took a taxi back to the Fu family home.

As soon as she entered, Jiang Yilai sensed an eerie atmosphere.

The doctor and the maid stood in the living room, but no one made a sound; the air was thick with tension and fear.

When Jiang Yilai returned, Butler Liu felt relieved, but his expression towards her also carried a hint of sympathy.

"Madam, the master is in the study and wants you to go there as soon as you get back."

Jiang Yilai's eyelids twitched violently, and a deep sense of unease rose in her heart.
