Chapter 240: 236: Talked much more
"How is Ling Ran? Is she okay?" Cen Jin nodded and asked worriedly.
"The doctor and Yun Xi are checking on her in the room. Why don’t you go in and have a look?" Yun Qi stepped aside and said with a warm smile.
Cen Jin nodded again, didn’t say anything, and went in directly. This left Jiang Baizhou and Yun Qi looking at each other without words for quite a while. After a long pause, Yun Qi finally asked, "Doctor Jiang, aren’t you coming in to wait?"
Jiang Baizhou’s expression was indifferent, gave him a subtle glance, and said, "No, it’s not very convenient. I’ll head back to my room first."
After all, he was a man, and his wife was Ye Lingran’s best friend. Although this was a hotel, the room counted as a lady’s chamber. As someone with a wife, he needed to be cautious and avoid any misunderstandings, and even standing at the door for too long was inappropriate.
Yun Qi observed him and, calming his expression, saw him about to turn back to his adjacent room, and said with a smile, "Though I’ve met with Doctor Jiang many times, it seems we’ve never had a meal together alone. I wonder if, after returning to Nancheng, Doctor Jiang would have the time and honor to join me for a meal?"
Jiang Baizhou paused, turned his head to look at him. His deep eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered for a moment before lightly parting his cool lips, "Cen Jin should not have had the chance to tell you yet. She isn’t returning with you tomorrow. I’ve booked a ticket for the 9th, so we’ll head back then. As for your invitation, President Yun, it’s an honor, and I have no reason to decline. However, my wife has instructed me to earn money diligently once we’re back, so the schedule will have to be arranged after our return. I have no intention of disrespecting President Yun."
"I understand. Let’s arrange it sometime later!" Yun Qi was a bit taken aback but could sense a touch of pride and smugness in his words and couldn’t help but laugh. Nodding, he asked, "But is Doctor Jiang lacking money?"
"Not exactly. I just want to ensure my wife is well-provided for, so naturally, I must earn money properly." Jiang Baizhou said this with justifiable confidence and serenity. To those unaware, it might seem as if he had done something noble!
This made the smile on Yun Qi’s face deepen, "Doctor Jiang has changed quite a bit after marriage. Much more talkative than before and even jestful now. It’s quite unexpected."
Hearing this, Jiang Baizhou raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly, "Naturally, I can’t compare to President Yun. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to my room first. As for the meal, I think we’ll have plenty of time in the future."
"Take care, and I hope Doctor Jiang and Cen Jin enjoy their time in Milan these days."
"Thank you."
Their awkward conversation ended, and Ye Lingran’s medical check was done. They called a local doctor from Milan, who said it takes a hundred days to heal bones and muscles, corrected her bones for her, and gave her a bottle of medicine, instructing that it should be applied and massaged three times a day. She shouldn’t walk, or it may result in more severe issues.
Cen Jin thanked the doctor and escorted him out of the room. Seeing Yun Qi approaching, she didn’t follow but turned back to the room to inquire about the details of Ye Lingran being bullied. After hearing it all, she was quite astonished.
"Are you saying it was Charles’s daughter? The one that’s supposedly spoiled rotten by Charles?"
Ye Lingran nodded, "I actually didn’t know her identity at first and only learned later when I heard two other girls calling her by name."
"I’ve heard that Charles’s family had three generations of men, so when it came to Mali, she became the family pet. Due to Charles’s status, there are surely many sycophants around, which is why she has such a haughty and proud nature." Cen Jin had never met Mali, only heard many people mention her during the few days they were here, and hadn’t thought much of it then.
"Yeah! I’ve heard employees from their company talk about it too. Meeting her today, it was like witnessing foul behavior firsthand, like a sheer shrew. But, Cen Jin, let me tell you, although she bullied Ling Ran, she didn’t come out on top. Ling Ran splashed juice on her, and I avenged Ling Ran quite my part, gave them a few slaps and even a kick." Yun Xi recounted excitedly, full of gusto, pulling Cen Jin along, "And besides, you wouldn’t believe Charles’s face when we left; it was quite dark. Hmph, my brother made sure to speak his mind. I’m really quite curious to see how he plans to discipline his precious daughter."
Cen Jin rolled her eyes at Yun Xi, who’s eager to see the drama unfold, "With so many ers and media at the banquet, this incident will definitely make it to the morning headlines tomorrow. You’ll see plenty of excitement then." She then turned to Ye Lingran, "Now Ling Ran, since you can’t walk with your leg, and you have to return to Nancheng tomorrow, which involves walking, how will you manage?"
Ye Lingran leaned back in the reclining chair, her lips moved slightly, about to speak when Yun Xi interjected, "Oh, speaking of this, don’t worry! My brother is here! Ling Ran was carried back from the banquet by my brother, so if we’re returning tomorrow, he’ll definitely carry her again! Why are you even worried about it? Isn’t that right, Ling Ran?" As she spoke, she kept winking exaggeratedly at Ye Lingran.
Ye Lingran blushed deeply at her words, reaching out to push her away, "What nonsense are you talking about, Yun Xi."
"I’m not making things up. You tell me, wasn’t it my brother who carried you back? And princess-style too! Heh heh, when we left yesterday, people around were whispering, all curious about my brother’s relationship with you!" Yun Xi raised her small face, sticking out her tongue at her, "See, you’re blushing."
"Yun Xi, stop joking around." Ye Lingran, being naturally gentle and serene, wasn’t as thick-skinned, so being teased like this, her face turned as red as an apple.
Cen Jin, hearing this, also raised an eyebrow, giving Ye Lingran a sidelong glance, trying hard not to laugh but unlike Yun Xi, didn’t make it obvious, "Ah well! Alright, Yun Xi, it’s getting late. Let’s head back and let Ling Ran rest well!"
"Okay, heh heh. Ling Ran, rest well. We’re leaving now. Don’t forget you can’t put weight on your foot. If you need anything, call us or the service staff, don’t exert yourself." Yun Xi grinned, knowing when to stop; anymore, and Ye Lingran might just throw a tantrum and jump down to hit her.
As the two left Ye Lingran’s room, they saw Yun Qi outside. Cen Jin smiled and said, "Ling Ran seems tired; we’ll head back first!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qi nodded and just happened to meet Yun Xi’s cheeky grin. He raised his hand to tap her forehead, "What mischief are you thinking now?"
"Nothing!" Yun Xi pouted, rubbed her forehead, snorted lightly, and turned to leave the room.
