Chapter 54: The Black-Bellied Ji Jingchen
When Lu Ziang was angry, he would pour himself a cup of wine, and when he did, he would get himself completely drunk. Ji Jingchen felt that Lu Ziang’s words could not be trusted, but that was not how he acted. After he left the bar, Ji Jingchen asked Peter to buy a few flower shops for him, and the first thing he did was to buy 99 roses for Du Jiuyuan.
When Ji Jingchen arrived at the hospital, Jiang Cheng was still waiting at the door of the ward.
“CEO Ji…” Jiang Cheng came on his own accord. Recently, Ji Jingchen rarely gave him any orders, which made him feel a sense of crisis he had never felt before. Especially since Peter was a professionally trained special assistant. He was much better than Jiang Cheng, who had become forgotten.
“If you have anything to say in the future, just say it. Don’t tell me when I’ve already found out.” Ji Jingchen didn’t blame Jiang Cheng for telling Lu Ziang about this matter. In his opinion, this matter could be completely avoided.
“Yes, will do.” Jiang Cheng said respectfully.
“What did the doctor say?” Ji Jingchen looked through the glass door into the ward. Du Jiuyuan was sitting on the bed, and beside her was He Lili, the girl who had helped her escape from him.
Jiang Cheng said, “The doctor has finished examining Miss Du. It’s just a superficial injury. There aren’t any other problems. She can be discharged after two days of observation.”
“She will be discharged after two days of observation?” Ji Jingchen asked in return.
Jiang Cheng had been by his side for a long time, and he could already guess what he meant, “I’ll go find the attending doctor and ask him to do a full-body examination for Miss Du. As she has injured her head, she will need to stay for a few more days of observation,” Jiang Cheng said tentatively.
Ji Jingchen nodded very seriously. Jiang Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that CEO Ji still had feelings for Miss Du. As for what he wanted to do, Jiang Cheng couldn’t ask.
“Tell the doctor not to leave a scar. She loves to look beautiful. Oh right, you can still call her Madam from now on,” Ji Jingchen added before entering the room with flowers in his hands.
Ji Jingchen walked into the ward with flowers in his arms. Du Jiuyuan, who was chatting with He Lili, saw him, and her face suddenly turned cold. “Why are you here?”
He Lili was a little afraid of Ji Jingchen. She didn’t say anything and only sat down in front of Du Jiuyuan, looking like she was about to die bravely.
Ji Jingchen put down the flowers and said to himself, “Someone will send dinner over in a while. My people will take care of the mess at the studio tomorrow. I have also been talking to the doctor. You’ve hurt your head, so you need to stay in the hospital for a few days for further observation.”
Du Jiuyuan was afraid that Ji Jingchen would chase away the migrant workers she had found, so she said, “If the workers I found didn’t call the police, I wouldn’t even be able to stay in the hospital.”
Ji Jingchen understood what she meant. “Don’t worry. I won’t fire those workers.”
Suddenly, Ji Jingchen looked at He Lili. “Stay and have dinner with us!”
He Lili took a deep breath and tried her best to reduce her fear. She said in a low voice, “I ate before I came here. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”
Ji Jingchen nodded. He Lili looked as if she had been pardoned. She carried her small bag and left without looking back.
Only the two of them were left in the ward. They looked at each other without saying anything. After a while, Peter pushed the door open and entered with three people. Each of them carried a big food box in their hands and walked in unison. The three of them set up the food and left obediently.
“It’s time to eat,” Ji Jingchen said when he saw that Du Jiuyuan had no intention of leaving.
Du Jiuyuan smelled the fragrant aroma of food in the ward and felt a little hungry, but she didn’t move. Ji Jingchen glanced at Peter, who tactfully left the ward. He walked to the bedside and carried Du Jiuyuan in his arms.
“Ji Jingchen, let go of me!” Du Jiuyuan said weakly.
“I’ll leave after eating.” Ji Jingchen placed Du Jiuyuan on the chair, then took off his coat and put it on her.
Du Jiuyuan had been busy with the renovation these days, so she hadn’t had a good meal for a while. Now that she smelled the delicious food, she realized that she was very hungry.
‘It’s a waste not to eat.’ Du Jiuyuan thought as she picked up a bowl of seafood congee and sipped on it. Ji Jingchen didn’t eat and only silently watched her.
After dinner, Ji Jingchen asked someone to clean up the food, but he didn’t leave immediately. After Du Jiuyuan took her medicine, she said that she felt dizzy and gave Ji Jingchen the order to leave. Ji Jingchen left the ward without saying anything.
