Chapter 517 - 71: The Boss and the Secretary
"Does Aunt know her?" The man turned and saw, unable to resist asking.The woman was simply too beautiful; he had never seen such a pretty woman in his life. If he had the chance to know her, it would be great, so at the moment, he hoped his aunt knew her.
The woman called Aunt glanced at her nephew, "Don’t know her, don’t try anything foolish."
She understood the nature of her nephew, always liking to flirt around. Ordinary girls were fine, but this one obviously seemed untouchable, better to avoid messing with and courting trouble.
The man seemed visibly disappointed without an answer, and was eager to immediately follow and see for himself. Thinking this, he subconsciously looked back once more, and saw the elevator stopped at the 25th floor.
That’s the VIP level where wealthy people live.
The man squinted his eyes; is she the daughter of a wealthy family, or being kept by a wealthy man?
If it’s the former, he has no chance; he lacks the means to flirt with a rich family’s daughter. If it’s the latter... the man smiled wickedly, they’re all played by men, why can’t he?
His heart is still pounding. Damn, beautiful women really stir one’s heart.
Qu Fulan arrived at the ward, Pei Ji’an had been waiting for a while.
Only when one truly lies on a hospital bed does one understand the benefits of good health; otherwise, you can’t do anything you want.
Today she arrived later than usual, so Pei Ji’an was a bit worried. Called her but the signal was lost, he almost asked his assistant to check in, then she came. Most likely it was due to the elevator that there was no signal.
Pei Ji’an might’ve been lying down too long, causing him to overthink. The key is to recover quickly.
So this time, even though his appetite was still poor, Pei Ji’an tried hard to eat most of the bowl. Forcing oneself to eat with no appetite is really unpleasant; the stomach feels uncomfortable.
"Why do you feel uncomfortable after eating? Did I not cook well?" Qu Fulan said and couldn’t help but taste it herself, finding it fine as usual.
Pei Ji’an shook his head, "It’s fine, I’ll feel better in a bit."
Qu Fulan didn’t think much of it, cleaned the thermos box, tidied up, and then sat by the bed peeling fruit to chat with him.
"Has the car accident been investigated, who did it?"
Pei Ji’an’s eyes fell on her hands, watching her peel fruit, afraid she might accidentally cut her finger, "My second uncle did it."
He spoke lightly.
Qu Fulan paused briefly in her fruit peeling, "Everything’s been investigated?"
She knew that the wealthy had many feuds, but family scheming against family, with life-threatening intent, was unimaginable. Yet, he always lived in such an environment.
"He could manage to do it, naturally planned an escape route, also someone to take the blame. Ultimately, it won’t fall on him."
"Is it just over like that? Enduring the car accident in vain?"
"Certainly not, an eye for an eye is the proper way."
Qu Fulan understood instantly. Some things are harder to handle once laid bare. The proper way is to return as much as you received.
The next day, Qu Fulan went to the office.
These days she’s been staying in the hospital caring for her boyfriend, not even visiting the studio, partly due to her close friend watching over, and because the studio isn’t busy during this period.
Mei was planning a new project, preferring not to be disturbed while creating.
But she also needed to find time to go over, Mei naturally wasn’t there. It’s just a collaboration, not working for her, so no need for a fixed schedule; talented people’s workplace can be anywhere.
After checking the studio, she then visited another hospital to see her mother. Now her mother was in a recuperation phase, originally planning to recuperate at home, but Qu Fulan worried she might not notice any emergency in time, so she insisted on her continued hospitalization.
The taste of hospitalization is surely unpleasant, but it’s unavoidable because her mother’s condition is special, unpredictable events can’t be ignored. Though she could hire caregivers or maids to watch over at home, there are too many bad news stories, and she’s concerned she might find an unsuitable one, staying in the hospital is safer, any situation the doctor can respond promptly.
Mrs. Qu did not know Pei Ji’an had been hospitalized due to a car accident.
Pei Ji’an wasn’t hospitalized here; this hospital is more suitable for elderly and special ailments, while car accidents requiring surgery are better handled elsewhere.
Mrs. Qu even expressed concern about their relationship progress.
Qu Fulan brushed it off, then accompanied her mother downstairs for a walk, and stayed for another two hours before leaving.
Until her daughter left, Mrs. Qu did not reveal her father’s return.
Actually Mrs. Qu hasn’t seen him, just heard from relatives and friends, herself indifferent, but daughter... thinking it over, she decided not to tell, since her daughter is always sensitive to this topic.
After all, the daughter was only six years old when her father left.
...
"Husband, think of a way, if this drags on, Yanyan will..." The woman covered her face crying.
"What can I do? The doctors said it’s not a match, and there’s no suitable kidney donor in the hospital." The middle-aged man was also troubled.
A man with a ruffian look beside them listened but couldn’t intervene.
He was even dragged over for kidney checks, didn’t match.
Honestly, the man was relieved; though he wanted the money, exchanging a kidney for it scared him. Now that it’s not a match, it’s good.
As for the money, he needs to find another way.
The man walked out from the patient, wandered downstairs, and again saw that beautiful woman, his eyes sparkled, subconsciously followed her.
Qu Fulan came early to the hospital today, surrounded by people, the elevator was crowded too. She stood at the corner, avoiding collisions with others, but suddenly a man appeared in front of her, very close, making Qu Fulan frown and step aside.
Soon the elevator reached the 25th floor, she hurried out, heading to the ward.
Just then footsteps sounded behind her, instinctively looking back, she saw it was the man who had been too close earlier. Even though many people were coming and going, patients, nurses, and relatives, she had a feeling that man was targeting her.
Qu Fulan cautiously waited at the nurse’s station to see if she was just overthinking.
The man, noticing her gaze, guiltily avoided eye contact.
Definitely suspicious. She leaned to the nurse and said something; the nurses on this floor definitely knew Qu Fulan by now, having discussed for days, how could they not?
On hearing she might be followed by a suspicious person, they immediately became alert. Too many cases of pretty women being followed can’t be ignored.
Then a nurse defensively approached, asking who he was here for, which ward.
The man mumbled without giving an answer, then left sheepishly.
This won’t do? The nurse immediately called the security office to check.
This requires a process, so Qu Fulan went to the ward first, anyway the nurses said they’ll notify her once there’s an outcome.
She also told Pei Ji’an about this incident, and Pei Ji’an’s expression turned serious, then arranged two bodyguards for her, which Qu Fulan did not refuse.
