Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2119: Chapter 2118: Reeking of Money

Wen Ran had no idea what happened when Zheng Liangzhu went to the next room of Ou Yihan’s ward.

But Zheng Liangzhu left the ward in less than five minutes, still looking furious.

Just as the special nursing assistant arranged the bed, and returned to move Jing Xiaocha to another room, Wen Ran saw Zheng Liangzhu and Jin Zheyu leave one after the other.

She smiled coldly, letting the special nursing assistant tidy up for Jing Xiaocha first. She went to Ou Yihan’s ward and saw Aunt Ou sitting by the bedside peeling fruit.

Aunt Ou’s face didn’t look good either, clearly she was angry too.

Wen Ran smiled slightly and asked with concern, "Aunt Ou, did Zheng Liangzhu say something just now that upset you?"

"He wants to pay us off to settle privately and not sue his daughter. He thinks we’ve never seen money and that for a little money, we’d let Yihan be humiliated for nothing. Someone who’s only filled with the stench of money, no wonder he can’t teach his daughter well."

Aunt Ou liked Wen Jin, her future son-in-law, so she didn’t treat Wen Ran as an outsider.

She couldn’t help but vent her anger.

"Aunt, don’t make yourself upset over this. Just because Zheng Liangzhu says something, doesn’t mean we have to agree."

Ou Yihan, lying on the bed, also chimed in, "Mom, I advised you earlier but you didn’t listen. Now that Ranran says it, you should heed it. Ah Jin said to leave this matter to the lawyer to handle, so don’t worry about it."

Aunt Ou laughed again, "Alright, I won’t be angry anymore. It’s just that I really dislike people like Zheng Liangzhu who think they’re something just because they have some money. If he’s so capable, why not go directly bribe the court and the judge instead of coming to us?"

At this, Wen Ran burst into laughter, "Aunt, don’t worry. No matter how capable he is, he doesn’t have that kind of ability. Zheng Shirui harmed Yihan and Xiaocha; she should be punished by the law."

"Ranran, how is Xiaocha’s injury? If I didn’t have to lie here, I could go see her."

Ou Yihan asked with concern.

Wen Ran smiled and replied, "Xiaocha’s neck injury is lighter, just a skin wound. Her arm was hurt too deeply by a nail, so even though she underwent surgery, these next few days are critical. As long as there is no infection or other complications, it will be fine, and she’ll gradually recover."

"At least I have my mom to take care of me, but Xiaocha is all alone. Ranran, I have to trouble you to take more care of Xiaocha."

"I’m staying here today to take care of her. Xiaocha is a kind and strong girl. The more she is like this, the more one feels for her."

"If it weren’t for Xiaocha persuading those kidnappers, I honestly don’t know what the outcome would have been. In a way, Xiaocha is my savior."

Ou Yihan sighed softly and said with emotion.

"Yihan, don’t say that. Xiaocha would feel guilty again if she heard you. She’s been thinking it’s her fault for implicating you. No matter what, it’s good that both of you are okay now."

That morning, Jing Xiaocha was moved to a new ward upstairs.

At eleven o’clock, Aunt Chen brought lunch for her and Ranran.

"Aunt Chen, why is there lunch for two?"

Wen Ran asked in surprise after opening the lunch box.

Aunt Chen smiled and said, "Ah Jin mentioned that you’re here with Xiaocha, so I prepared a double serving."

"My brother really is thoughtful. Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Chen."

Wen Ran’s eyes brightened with a smile, "Is there lunch sent to Yihan too?"

"When I brought Miss Ou breakfast, she said no lunch delivery was needed. Her family’s driver would bring lunch for her and Aunt Ou."

Aunt Chen explained warmly, then kindly told Jing Xiaocha, "Xiaocha, let me know if there’s anything you want to eat daily. I’ll make it for you."

"Thank you, Aunt Chen. I’m fine with anything."

Aunt Chen gave her a humorous look, "Then my question is in vain. Ah Jin told me to make what you like. If you won’t say, I’ll just make whatever I think is best."

"Aunt Chen’s cooking is so good, I love whatever you make."

Jing Xiaocha’s words amused Aunt Chen, "You’re such a sweet girl. Ah Jin told me what you like to eat, but since you’re a patient now, there are some things you can’t eat. You’ve lost so much blood, you need to replenish it now and once you’re better, I’ll make your favorites."

After saying this, Aunt Chen told Wen Ran, "Ranran, have your lunch, and go back to rest in the afternoon. I’ll stay here to take care of Xiaocha."

Wen Ran asked with amusement, "Is this also arranged by my brother?"

"That’s right, Ah Jin arranged it. I have no work at home anyway, so I might as well keep Xiaocha company here, saving Ah Jin some worry."

Although Aunt Chen is the Wen Family’s housekeeper, both Wen Jin and Wen Ran respect her like family.

She calls them by their names instead of master or miss as other housekeepers do.

After lunch, Qing Feng brought Zhang Minghui, Ziyi, Momo, and Xin Xin to the hospital to visit Jing Xiaocha.

Zhang Minghui saw the injuries on Jing Xiaocha’s arm and neck, and his eyes turned red with distress.

"Aunt, when I grow up, I’ll definitely protect you and never let bad people bully you," Zhang Minghui said with red eyes.

Jing Xiaocha felt warmth inside, "Don’t be sad, Aunt’s wounds will heal in a few days."

"Aunt, take good care of yourself, and I’ll study hard and get good grades."

Jing Xiaocha nodded and gently reminded, "You’re staying at Aunt Wen’s house these days, make sure to behave and not cause problems, okay?"

"I’ll be very obedient."

"Little Hui is indeed very obedient."

When they left, Wen Ran also left, leaving Aunt Chen behind to take care of Xiaocha.

Jing Xiaocha kept thinking about her novel and script, but Aunt Chen watched her even more closely than Wen Ran, allowing her out of bed only to stay in the ward.

At 4 PM, Aunt Chen’s phone rang.

After answering, she handed the phone to Jing Xiaocha, "Xiaocha, it’s a call from Ah Jin, he wants you to answer."

A hint of surprise flickered in Jing Xiaocha’s eyes. Why didn’t Brother Wen call her directly?

Still, she reached out and took Aunt Chen’s phone, answering in a soft and gentle voice, "Hello, Brother Wen."

Wen Jin’s voice came warmly over the call, "Did you take a nap this afternoon?"

"I slept for a bit."

Jing Xiaocha answered truthfully, and when Wen Jin’s voice sounded again, it carried a hint of gentle laughter, "That’s good. You need to rest well now, don’t think about your novel all day."

Jing Xiaocha’s heart skipped a beat; could Brother Wen read minds? Just from the call, he knew she was thinking about her novel.

"I just feel that not updating is not good, it’s irresponsible to the readers."

She didn’t dare mention the script hadn’t been revised, thinking she could finish it in the coming days.

Perhaps it was her voice carrying a hint of grievance, but Wen Jin’s words seemed to carry more warmth and tender indulgence than before, "If you really don’t want to stop updating, then I’ll help you tonight when I come to the hospital."
