Jiang Jingchen turned around and walked out of the room. The servant came to report that Song Yan had left.

Jiang Jingchen was expressionless as he turned to look at Ji Yi.

Ji Yi understood and said, “Mr. Chen will be the one paying your salaries in the future. If there’s anything, you can report it to me. Without Mr. Chen’s permission, Jiang Minghua cannot go out. Do you understand?”

The servants nodded respectfully.

After Jiang Jingchen left the Jiang family, he contacted Song Kai.

“Song Yan might return to the Song family. Didn’t you want to get the Song Enterprise’s shares? The first thing you’ll do is to target Song Yan.”

Song Kai was stunned. “Thank you for your reminder, but I won’t be grateful.” Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “Do I care about your gratitude?”

However, Jiang Jingchen still wanted to promote him because he was young. “For what you do to Song Yan, keep it clean. Don’t leave any dirty spots behind. Collaborator, don’t forget that I’m the one you want to work with. It’s better to cancel your engagement with Wen Sang as soon as possible.”

I heard that you and Wen Sang are childhood sweethearts. Why? Are you jealous of my engagement with Wen Sang?”

Heh, you’re no match for Wen Sang, let alone me. I am advising you for the sake of the big picture. Don’t be fooled by others. If you leave an image of a scumbag in the circle, the Song Enterprise’s shares will be diluted.” As a collaborator, Jiang Jingchen had said everything he needed to say. As for whether Song Kai could restrain himself and reject Wen Sang’s temptation, it was up to him to protect the Song Enterprise.

Putting away his phone, Jiang Jingchen went to the hospital to check on Song Zhou.

When he arrived at the ward, doctors were coming in and out. Ruan Qi, who had a worried look on her face, was restless. When she saw him coming over, she quickly walked over.

“Song Zhou has a fever. The doctor said that the wound was still poisonous and hadn’t been cleaned up. If these infections aren’t handled properly, they will be life-threatening. Jiang Jingchen, what should we do now?”

Jiang Jingchen frowned. Jiang Minghua had tried to kill him, and the components of the liquid were highly toxic. If they weren’t cleaned yesterday, an infection today was expected.

“For now, all you can do is wait. Song Zhou will be fine.”

Ruan Qi wiped her tears as she said, “I’m scared. I’m really scared. Every moment feels like an eternity.”

Jiang Jingchen saw her crying with red eyes and leaning against the wall, feeling very helpless.

“Call your father and ask him to come over.”

Ruan Qi sniffled. “Why should I call my dad?”

Since you’re scared, find a man who can give you a sense of security. You’re pregnant, so you can’t be so pessimistic. Otherwise, the child will be affected.” Ruan Qi touched her belly and felt dejected.

“Ever since I got pregnant, I feel like I’m being portrayed as fragile glass. I’m not that weak.”

Seeing that she was still trying to hold on, Jiang Jingchen stopped talking and sat outside, waiting for the doctors to finish.

Half an hour later, the doctors finally said that Song Zhou’s fever had subsided. However, there was no guarantee. Unforeseen incidents might still occur. If he was feverish tonight and couldn’t control his temperature, it would be very dangerous.

Ruan Qi staggered a few steps when she heard that. She held onto the wall to steady herself.

“Now, can I go in now?”

Go ahead. Talk to him and feed him something.”

The doctor gave a few more instructions before leaving with the nurses. Jiang Jingchen and Ruan Qi walked into the ward together and saw Song Zhou lying on the bed. His face was deathly pale, the corners of his lips were dark, and his eyes were lifeless. He looked at Ruan Qi for a long time before he regained some vigor.

“Hubby, I’m here.”

Ruan Qi sat by the bed and held his hand tightly.

His hands looked as if they had been stripped of water. There was a layer of dry skin on his fingertips and his palms were abnormally dry. Her heart ached when she saw this.

“Darling, are you crying again?”

“I’m not crying. I haven’t cried.” Ruan Qi wiped her tears and tried to calm herself down. However, a pregnant woman’s emotions were uncontrollable.

Song Zhou raised his hand to wipe her tears. “Don’t cry. I’ll be fine. Trust me.” “Of course, I believe you. You have to get better. Otherwise, the baby and I will be angry.”

Song Zhou looked at her belly and gently rubbed it. It was slightly bulging.

There was a life here, and it was their child.

When this child came to this world, he would be his blood relative and the continuation of his life.

“I won’t let you and the baby upset. I’ll get better!”

When Ruan Qi heard him say that, she couldn’t hold back her tears, and they kept falling.

Jiang Jingchen looked at the two of them and didn’t speak for a long time. Eventually, he left the ward to find the doctor and inquire about Song Zhou’s condition.

The doctor said that Song Zhou’s situation was more complicated because the liquid that caused his injury had some unknown components. They still had to wait for the test results and monitor Song Zhou’s condition at the same time. “According to my experience, as long as he gets through tonight, there shouldn’t be a big problem. So, we need to implement the second plan. In case he can’t withstand tonight, how should we treat him?”

Jiang Jingchen frowned and turned to look at Ji Yi. He said, “Get all the virology specialists and experts from Capital City here in case of emergency. We must treat Song Zhou!”

Yes, Mr. Chen.” Ji Yi went out to make arrangements.

Jiang Jingchen left the doctor’s office and stood outside. He looked at the sky and was a little lost.

It wasn’t that he was pessimistic, but Song Zhou’s situation made him a little annoyed.

It was very annoying. This feeling of losing control.

“Brother Jingchen, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Jingchen turned around and saw Wen Sang. He averted his gaze.

“I’m fine. What are you doing here?”

Wen Sang said, “My grandfather is also recuperating in this hospital. I came to visit my grandfather and happened to see you. I heard that your assistant, Song Zhou, was injured. How’s his condition?”

“He’s okay.”

Wen Sang followed behind him, puzzled. “He’s fine, but why do you seem upset? Brother Jingchen, just treat me as a friend. If something is bothering you, you can tell me.”

Jiang Jingchen turned around to leave, wanting to avoid her. Seeing that she was still chasing after him, he was even more annoyed.

I m sorry, I’m not inclined to confide in anyone.”

Wen Sang was persistent. “I’ll go with you to see Song Zhou.”

She wanted to see Song Zhou, and Jiang Jingchen couldn’t refuse.

However, he said, “I’m not going to see Song Zhou now. If you want to see him, go ahead.”

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to pick up my wife from class.”

Wen Sang was speechless.

Wen Sang stopped in her tracks and stared blankly at him as he walked away. A hint of gloominess flashed across her eyes.

Was Tang Beibei so important in his eyes that he didn’t mind falling out with the Jiang family?

He pampered other women so much, making it quite enviable!

Sister, if you can’t have this man, don’t set your hopes too high.”

Wen Sang turned and looked at Wen Nan behind her.

She sneered. “I, Wen Sang, can get anything I want!”

Wen Nan covered her mouth and laughed in disdain. “Wen Sang, are you stupid? Jiang Jingchen is a terrible devil. You can’t provoke him easily.”

Even if he is a devil, isn’t he still subdued by a silly college student like Tang Beibei?”

I don t believe that I can’t get him with my methods!”
