Chapter 1431: Chapter 1432: How Is That Woman Here
Su Yi fell silent. Several times she opened her mouth to speak, but ultimately, she said nothing.
…
Lin Wan’s surgery went very smoothly. At nine o’clock, the light above the operating room finally turned green, and Cui Jiangjing, looking visibly exhausted, was the first to walk out.
Gone was his usual flashy attire; the green surgical gown covering him from head to toe made him almost unrecognizable. He removed his blood-stained gloves and threw them into a nearby trash bin, then took off the plastic dust cap and face mask. Letting out a long breath, he complained, “Phew! Finally, I can breathe a bit of normal air. It was stifling in there—I thought I was going to suffocate!”
“How’s my sister?” Li Shengxiao was the first to ask.
Cui Jiangjing rolled his eyes and brushed his hair back. “Come on, boss, can you let me catch my breath properly before asking?”
Lin Teng, Old Madam Lin, and Su Yi hurried forward. Lin Teng also asked, “Jiangjing, how is Wanwan?”
Faced with Lin Teng, Cui Jiangjing stood up stiffly like a mouse encountering a cat. All his complaints and swagger vanished instantly. He answered honestly, “Uncle, don’t worry. Lin Wan is fine. The surgery was very successful. I’ve already asked the nurse to transfer her to the ward.”
The Lin Family finally felt a weight lifted from their hearts.
Madame Lin clasped her hands together and muttered softly under her breath, “Amitabha Buddha, the Bodhisattva protected her. Thank goodness nothing happened. Thank goodness.”
Su Yi’s pallid face also softened visibly. Her brows and eyes carried genuine relief as she grabbed Cui Jiangjing’s hand gratefully, saying, “Thank goodness for you, Jiangjing. Thank you for everything this time.”
Cui Jiangjing, known back in the gated community for being the rowdy troublemaker who often got into scuffles, was completely unprepared for such a heartfelt display of gratitude from so many elders. He was at a loss, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet. His normally quick wit dried up, leaving him only able to stammer, “Uncle, Aunt, you’re too polite. It was my duty. This time, it was all thanks to Shengxiao calling me—I wouldn’t have known about Lin Wan’s condition otherwise. The surgery went very well. She didn’t suffer injuries to her internal organs or critical blood vessels; it was the impact to her head that caused her to lose consciousness. I’ve already treated her external wounds, and barring any complications, she should wake up later. Uncle, Aunt, you can wait by her bedside in the ward for her to wake up…”
After painstakingly explaining Lin Wan’s physical condition to Lin Teng, Su Yi, and the others, and offering a few further words of reassurance, he led them to the ward.
After staying with the Lin Family for a while in the ward to check on Lin Wan, Cui Jiangjing seized an opportunity to quietly pull Li Shengxiao away from the crowd and leave the room…
Once they stepped outside the ward, he let go of Li Shengxiao’s arm and finally spoke up, “I’ve been meaning to ask you this since earlier, but I couldn’t find the right chance. Why is that woman here?”
That woman…
Other than Chu Xi, Su Yi and Madame Lin were people he had known since childhood.
Li Shengxiao pressed his thin lips together tightly and replied, “She saved Lin Wan. She brought Lin Wan to the hospital and even donated 200cc of blood. She counts as a lifesaver.”
“She saved Lin Wan? Damn it.” Cui Jiangjing’s first reaction was one of pure shock. Then, his expression darkened as unease flickered across his eyes. He asked nervously, “Have you looked into it? Is there a chance that the accident wasn’t as simple as it seems?”
That Chu Xi woman had clearly set her sights on Shengxiao. Just a few days ago, photos of her and Shengxiao together at a hotel had mysteriously popped up online. If anyone tried to argue there wasn’t something fishy going on, he’d gladly chop off his own head and kick it around like a soccer ball!
Li Shengxiao replied, “I looked into it. The truck driver had been drinking too much and got distracted while driving, which led to the accident. It shouldn’t have anything to do with her.”
