But at this moment, Li Ruo was no longer able to hear the curses around her.
Her gaze fell on her phone screen, where the latest headline was about Wen Huaiyan's car accident.
At this moment, Li Ruo's heart sank. Wen Huaiyan hadn't contacted her at all during this period.
She thought the other party was busy with the Wen Group's affairs, but unexpectedly...
Thinking of this, Li Ruo's breath hitched slightly, and Wen Huaiyan's cold and stern face involuntarily flashed through her mind.
Is he alright? What if...?
The thought of this possibility made her turn pale. She could no longer control her impulse and immediately made a phone call.
Li Ruo hurriedly said, "Xiao He, send a car to the airport to pick up Mr. Bob. I have something urgent to attend to. Also, the blueprints that Peng Jingyang gave me are on my desk in my office. You can just show them to him."
"Okay, Mr. Li."
Hearing the other party's quick and decisive agreement, Li Ruo didn't hesitate and immediately drove towards the hospital.
When she arrived at the hospital, she found that there were quite a few reporters there.
They were all carrying microphones and cameras, wanting to go into the hospital for interviews.
If the security guards hadn't stopped them, they probably would have already rushed in.
Seeing that the main entrance was completely blocked, Li Ruo frowned and quickly went to the back entrance.
Fortunately, there was no one in front of the door, and Li Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, carefully making her way to the top floor.
At this moment, the top floor was extremely quiet, and there wasn't a sound in the corridor.
When she came out of the emergency exit, she saw a lot of people gathered outside a ward.
"They're all from the Wen family!"
She murmured to herself, her heart growing heavier.
She had no contact with the Wen family, and had only met some of them once, at Li Rao's funeral. She never expected to meet them here.
As Li Ruo approached, many people heard her footsteps.
Some of the nicer people just smiled and nodded at her, without any intention of talking to her.
The others simply ignored Li Ruo as if she didn't exist.
Li Ruo narrowed her eyes and carefully observed the people in front of her. To her surprise, she found that they had calm expressions and did not seem to have any sadness or solemnity.
From the faces of these people, she couldn't tell whether Wen Huaiyan was alright or not.
She turned her head slightly and found that the ward door was closed, but through the glass she could see the doctor busy at the bedside.
The man on the bed had his eyes closed and made no sound.
As time went by, Li Ruo couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Just then, the sound of conversation not far away caught her attention.
"Hey, do you guys think that with Big Brother in this state, he might never wake up again?"
"Who knows? Didn't the doctor say he has a blood clot in his brain? I'm afraid the outcome won't be good."
The speakers were Wen Huaiyan's cousins, who also shared the surname Wen, but were from a collateral branch of the Wen family.
At this moment, these people showed no sadness on their faces, but rather seemed eager to try.
"If he doesn't wake up, wouldn't such a large company like the Wen Group be..."
"That's possible; it could be ours someday."
As their words became increasingly outrageous, Li Ruo clenched her fists tightly.
She didn't know why she was so angry, but hearing these words made her inexplicably uncomfortable.
I wanted to rush up and argue with them, but when I came to my senses, I felt powerless.
After all, this is a matter for the Wen family; she is just an outsider!
Fortunately, perhaps mindful that they were in a public place, they hadn't been talking for long when a middle-aged man in front of them glared at them.
Seeing the look in their elders' eyes, the group shrank back and dared not speak again.
At that moment, the doctor pushed open the door and hurriedly came out.
Seeing this, everyone crowded around, leaving Li Ruo standing at the very back.
Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, the doctor said, "The patient has woken up. You can put on your protective suits and go see him."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, their thoughts becoming increasingly active as they looked at each other.
In fact, everyone knows that Wen Huaiyan is the only one who can succeed the Wen family, but his current condition is not stable.
That means that if Wen Huaiyan dies, they will also have a chance to compete for the Wen family's successor.
When Li Ruo finally put on the protective suit and went inside, Wen Huaiyan was already surrounded by a group of people.
She couldn't squeeze in, so she could only look at the weak man lying on the bed through the gaps in the crowd.
At this moment, his head was still wrapped in bandages, and he was wearing many medical instruments.
From the moment we met, the man acted as if he were superior and omnipotent.
This was the first time Li Ruo had seen him in such a weak state, and her feelings became increasingly complicated.
"Huaiyan, are you alright?"
In the silence, the man standing at the front of the crowd spoke with concern.
After he spoke first, the Wen family members seemed to be activated, chattering, "Yeah, cousin, how are you?"
Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable in your body?
