Awhole day passed in the blink of an eye. As soon as the school bell rang, Xu Wanwan carried her bag and walked out of the school.
“Wanwan, I’d better go with you today.”
Lin Jianan was a little worried that Zhao Zixuan would deliberately take revenge, so she suggested going with her.
“Well… I’m going to find a doctor later to understand his condition. When I’m done, you should go back quickly.”
With that, the two of them went to the hospital.
Xu Wanwan looked at the person motionlessly lying on the bed and asked calmly, “How are you feeling today?”
Zhao Zixuan was about to complain when Lin Jianan glared at him.
He swallowed his anger and said, “I’m fine.”
“Um, you rest first. I’l go look for the doctor.”
Xu Wanwan put her bag on the chair in the ward and said to Lin Jianan, “Tl trouble you for a while, I’ll be back soon.”
‘When the ward’s door closed, Lin Jianan crossed her arms and sat on the chair. She snorted, “Did you want to tell Wanwan about it just now?”
Zhao Zixuan thought of what they had done yesterday and clenched his fists in hatred.
Lin Jianan glanced at him and saw his tightly clenched fists. She narrowed her eyes and said, “Aren’t you very sick? Do you have the strength to hit people?”
She wanted to see whether this person was really sick or pretending to be sick.
She wanted to provoke Zhao Zixuan, but the phone behind the chair suddenly rang.
Lin Jianan took it and saw that it was Xu Wanwan’s phone.
The caller ID had two words written on it: Mr. Li.
Lin Jianan knew that this was the name that Xu Wanwan gave for Li Jingran. She didn’t think too much and walked out of the ward to pick up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, a man’s magnetic voice immediately came through
“Where are you?”
Lin Jianan cleared her throat. “Hello, I’m a friend of Wanwan’s.”
“She’s at the hospital right now. She doesn’t have her phone with her right now. Can I ask her to call you when she comes back?”
Li Jingran pondered for a few seconds. “Send me the detailed location.”
Lin Jianan was stunned for a moment before she realized. “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, she walked to the end of the corridor and looked around, but she did not see Xu Wanwan.
Worried that Li Jingran had something urgent, so she sent him the location of the ward number on her own accord. Then, she turned off her phone and returned to the ward to continue looking after Zhao Zixuan.
Xu Wanwan walked out from the attending physician’s office, looking worried.
“The patient’s current condition is still critical. We found dark spots behind his head. He will be under observation for at least a few months.”
“As family members, you have to be mentally prepared.”
After listening to them, Xu Wanwan felt a little exhausted.
She still had to take care of Zhao Zixuan for a few months. It was really difficult.
She sighed lightly and asked the nurse for a cup. She walked to the pantry and poured a cup of water to drink.
She stood at the end of the corridor and looked at the traffic outside the window, her expression desolate.
“Have you heard? The person in ward 803 is actually not sick. He’s just pretending.” Two nurses passed by and were talking.
Xu Wanwan’s body stiffened.
Ward 803. Wasn’t this the ward where Zhao Zixuan was staying?
Another nurse said, “How come I haven’t heard about this? My friend is in charge of his ward. It seems that the patient has a special relationship with Doctor Liu, so he especially helped him hide his illness.”
“Tsk tsk, it’s hard for his girlfriend to keep his illness a secret. Her girlfriend has to take care of him every day. It must be tough.”
“That’s right. He even snuck out to play the other day. My friend found out about it and didn’t allow anyone to tell anyone about it.”
“In the end, he came back at night and started faking his illness again. Every time I’m on duty, I can see his girlfriend sleeping in the corridor of the hospital. To be honest, it makes my heart ache.”
“Sigh, in this world, there are really all kinds of men…”
The two nurses went back after getting hot water from the water room. However, Xu Wanwan stood frozen on the spot and could not calm down for a long time.
She could not help but clench her fists, a cold chill emitting from her eyes.
Why did Zhao Zixuan pretend to be sick? For fun?
Xu Wanwan’s mind was in a mess, and she walked back in a disorderly manner.
Her emotions were complicated, and she just wanted to find Zhao Zixuan to confirm whether this was true or not.
All these days, she had been taking care of him full of guilt. Even if there were some inadequacies, she had done her best.
However, if he were pretending to be sick just to gain sympathy, then it would be too hateful.
Xu Wanwan quickly returned to the ward. But Lin Jianan had come out before she could walk in. “Wanwan, when you went to find the doctor just now, Big Boss Li called you.”
“picked it up for you. He sounded a little anxious. Do you want to ask him what happened?”
Xu Wanwan frowned slightly. “Okay, I’l return the call later.”
“Okay! Then I’ll go back first. See you tomorrow!”
Xu Wanwan felt as if a huge weight had been placed on her heart. She forced a smile. “See you tomorrow.”
After Lin Jianan left, her fingers trembled as she grabbed the door of the ward. She considered how she should question Zhao Zixuan several times in her heart.
“Xu Wanwan!”
Before she could open the door, she was stopped by an angry roar.
Sun Yuelan’s high heels squeaked as she ran to Xu Wanwan in one breath. She pointed at her nose and scolded, “How could I have raised such an ingrate like you!”
“Do you know that your brother has been locked up in the police station for five or six days? Aren’t you worried about him at all?”
“It’s none of my business.”
Xu Wanwan was in a bad mood today. Now that she was encountering them again, she looked even more impatient than before.
“You! Are you still a human? Do you even have a conscience!”
“Conscience?” Xu Wanwan’s tone was full of mockery. “It’s really funny that you’re telling me about your conscience.”
Sun Yuelan was a little flustered by her gaze, but she still pretended to be fine. “Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and think of a way to get your brother out.”
Xu Zhongyi and Xu Yue rushed over one after another. They did not even have time to catch their breath before they joined in.
“Aren’t you on good terms with that Young Master of the Zhao family? Be nice to him and let him spare the Xu family this time.”
Xu Yuerou nodded gently. “Yes, Sister. Please help Brother this time. Otherwise, Father and Mother will really be very sad.”
“Your relationship with Zixuan is so good. You will definitely be able to persuade him.”
Xu Wanwan’s patience finally snapped. She raised her voice and said, “Enough! I’ve already said that this matter has nothing to do with me. If you continue to pester me, I will call the police.”
“Xu Wanwan, do you think that someone will interfere if you call the police? This is a private matter, so we can only naturally solve this privately.”
Sun Yuelan gradually calmed down. “I know that you have suffered in the countryside and bear a grudge against us. However, if you are willing to help the Xu family this time, we can give you a sum of money.”
“Is five million enough?”
Xu Yue pursed her lips unhappily.
How could a country bumpkin get five million?!
Xu Zhongyi also said, “Five million is not a small amount. Take this five million and marry Zhao Zixuan obediently. You’ll have a good life from now on.”
Xu Wanwan looked at them coldly and did not say a word.
Sun Yuelan saw that she did not agree for a long time. “Five million is still too little?”
“Put away your stinky money.” Li Jingran Strode over and grabbed Xu Wanwan Wan’s waist, his eyes cold.
“My people are not just any people you can bribe..”
