Chapter 341 - Those Few Slaps Were Nothing Compared To What You Had Done Behind The Scene (1/2)
That night, Xiaoyi didn't return from the intensive care unit. The bed opposite of her was still empty.
Jiang Ruolan occasionally glanced towards the bed on the other side. When she thought of Jiang Yijun, she felt suffocated. Then she thought about that adorable child, Xiaoyi, and her heart ached for no reason.
At noon the next day, Xiong Ruogang received the news that Jiang Ruolan was in the hospital and went to visit her. By that time, she was much better off, as long as she didn't shake her head, touch the water, or eat any irritating food, for the time being.
Jiang Ruolan got up to send Xiong Ruogang off. On the way, she saw a few doctors and nurses pushing a small bed.
They entered the ward. Xiaoyi was still awake and was carefully put on the bed by the doctor and nurses. After the doctor and nurse told Zhou Shufen about some precautions, Xiaoyi suddenly opened her mouth and sweetly said, ”Thank you, uncle and aunties!”
”Good child, you must listen to your mother.” They seemed to like her a lot. One of the nurses gently caressed her face.
Xiaoyi giggled, ”Xiaoyi knows!”
After the doctor left, Zhou Shufen covered Xiaoyi with a blanket and leaned over to say something to her in a very soft voice. Xiaoyi blinked and nodded with a smile. ”I understand, mama! Little Yi will be fine! I won't let you and great-grandfather worry.”
”Xiaoyi is a good child. Great- grandfather will buy you a little goldfish and a fish tank tonight. We will put it on the window sill ~” Senior Zhou stood next to the bed with a loving and smiling face.
”Great-grandfather is the best! In the future, small goldfish will accompany Xiaoyi to play ~”
Senior Zhou heard the footsteps in front of the ward's door. He turned to take a look and saw Jiang Ruolan walking back into the ward. He was startled at first, but then he saw her wearing a light blue hospital gown.
Zhou Shufen did not turn to look but only helped make Xiaoyi's bed. While tidying up the corner of the bed, she said disapprovingly, ”Miss Jiang suffered a few stitches on her head, and during the two days you were in the intensive care unit with Xiaoyi, and when I came back to retrieve her things. I saw the doctor arrange for her to stay in this ward. Since there weren't any other empty VIP wards and my Xian Family was already here, I didn't want to refuse the doctor's request. So I let her in.”
Senior Zhou didn't seem happy, but he controlled his emotions and looked at Jiang Ruolan in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Ruolan remained calm on the surface and nodded politely to Senior Zhou. ”Senior Zhou.”
Senior Zhou snorted and laughed, ”Miss Jiang, it really is fate. I am curious about how you are fated to meet me in person.”
Hearing the meaning behind his words, Jiang Ruolan just smiled, ”Senior Zhou has a high status and is rarely seen by ordinary people. I am lucky enough to meet you several times because of grandfather. This is just a coincidence, nothing to do with fate.”
As Jiang Ruolan said this, she thought back to her mother's picture in her teens that Senior Zhou once asked her to look at.
Zhou Shufen also noticed something from Senior Zhou's words. She suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Ruolan, who was sitting on the bed, and then looked back at Senior Zhou. She immediately asked him in confusion, ”Grandpa?”
Senior Zhou came back to his senses and turned to look at Zhou Shufen. There was nothing unusual about his expression.
Zhou Shufen paused for a moment before looking back at Jiang Ruolan. She was reading the newspaper silently across the bed. Zhou Shufen suddenly frowned as she thought of something.
