Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jing Mo was finally saved after six hours of resuscitation, but he had lost too much blood and had been unconscious since the surgery.
Cheng Wan was still worried about Zhang Li being alone in the hospital. She came to visit Zhang Li in the afternoon with Ji Wei. He did not come to visit Zhang Li out of goodwill. He just wanted to see what happened to Zhang Li.
When the two of them arrived, Jing Mo was undergoing emergency treatment. Zhang Li’s body had not recovered to begin with, and she was so tired that she fell asleep on the bed. However, she did not sleep well. She frowned slightly, as if she was having a nightmare.
Zhang Ji was sitting on the sofa in the ward, dealing with some matters.
Seeing Cheng Wan, he stood up and stretched out his hand. “Miss Cheng, long time no see.”
Cheng Wan recognized him immediately. Because of Zhang Li, she also knew Zhang Ji. “Second Brother Zhang, long time no see. What’s wrong with Zhang Li?”
Zhang Ji smiled and said, “She’s too tired and needs to rest.”
Cheng Wan thought that it was because of what happened online, so she did not think too much about it. She introduced Zhang Ji to Ji Wei and got Ji Wei to greet Zhang Ji before preparing to leave.
At this moment, a tall man in a black suit walked in. His aura was too strong, making people feel that he was very dangerous. Ji Wei instinctively stood in front of Cheng Wan in a protective posture.
Zhang Ji smiled as he watched this scene. He ignored the man in the black suit who walked in and said to Cheng Wan first, “Your nephew is not bad.”
It was a simple sentence, but Cheng Wan understood what Zhang Ji meant. Since Zhang Ji was here, it meant that he already knew about the past, including what happened between Wen Chen and Jing Yao.
The two Zhang brothers, one in politics and the other in business, were both outstanding in their respective fields. Cheng Wan didn’t know why they didn’t care about Jing Yao for more than 20 years and came to look for her now.
Cheng Wan couldn’t imagine that Zhang Li didn’t want others to know that Jing Yao was her daughter, so she hid everything. The Zhang Family didn’t even know about Jing Yao’s existence before.
“Boss, the doctor said that the surgery needs the family member’s signature,” the man in black said expressionlessly.
Zhang Ji’s expression was gloomy as he said in a low voice, “Get him to take it to the prison and get Jing Yuan to sign it.”
Ji Wei and Cheng Wan looked at each other in surprise. The one having the surgery was Jing Mo? What happened to him?
“I’ll go sign it.” Zhang Li, who was on the bed, had woken up at some point.
She sat up and smiled bitterly at Cheng Wan. “Wanwan, 1 thought you wouldn’t care about me anymore.”
Cheng Wan pursed her lips and did not say anything.
Zhang Li looked at Ji Wei again and smiled weakly. “Little Wei, thank you for protecting Yaoyao in the past.”
Ji Wei took two steps back and touched the gooseb.u.mps on his arms, ignoring her.
Zhang Li could see the distance between the two of them. A trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes. She took a deep breath and slowly got out of bed.
She even staggered when she stood on the ground. Cheng Wan instinctively wanted to reach out to help her up, but Ji Wei stopped her calmly.
Zhang Ji walked over and held Zhang Li’s arm, helping her out. He wanted to hide the fact that Jing Mo was injured from Cheng Wan and Ji Wei, but it seemed like he could not hide it anymore.
At the entrance of the operating theater, the doctor said, “He’s in a critical state now. You should know that surgery is accompanied by a certain risk, so…”
“Give me the signature form,” Zhang Li interrupted the doctor.
The doctor glanced at Zhang Ji. He had long received his leader’s instructions to listen to Mr. Zhang.
Zhang Ji nodded at the doctor. “Give it to her. There’s no need to say anything else.”
The doctor did not say anything else and handed the form to Zhang Li to sign.
Zhang Li returned to her ward after signing the doc.u.ment. She did not even look at the door of the operating theater. Now, she really hoped that Jing Mo was alive. After all, she did not want to die yet. She had more important things to do while she was alive.
Cheng Wan and Ji Wei were filled with doubts, but they knew that Zhang Ji wouldn’t tell them anything, so the two of them didn’t stay any longer and left. Anyway, Cheng Wan didn’t need to care about Zhang Li anymore.
When she walked out of the ward and reached the nurses’ station, she heard many people discussing softly.
“That woman in the independent ward. I heard that she used a knife to cut her husband until he was covered in blood. Her husband is still being resuscitated in the operating theater. She’s too ruthless.” A young nurse had lingering fears as she spoke.
The older nurse glared at her and reprimanded, “Don’t talk nonsense. You’re here to work, not to watch the show. Do you still want to do this job?”
The nurse immediately fell silent. Thinking of the instructions from her superior, she did not dare to say anything else.
Ji Wei roughly guessed what was going on and his heart trembled. He had to admit that Zhang Li was indeed a ruthless person..
