Lu Jincheng took out his phone to make a call.
The middle-aged man looked at the old woman.
The old woman quickly stood up, glaring fiercely at Lin Yuxin, "You little brat, just you wait. Working here, you better be careful walking home at night."
With that, the old woman and the middle-aged man immediately turned and fled.
Lin Yuxin: "..." These two had been involved in staged accidents near the hospital before.
Lu Jincheng couldn't stand such threats and made the call to the police.
Jin Yan looked at Lin Yuxin with gratitude. Seeing the young girl, with her bright eyes, fair skin, and ethereal aura, she thought, this beauty is exactly her second son's type.
"Miss, thank you so much. Without you, I wouldn't have realized they were scammers," Jin Yan said to Lin Yuxin with a smile.
Lin Yuxin smiled, "Madam, you're too kind. I saw them staging an accident at a red light last time, but the other party saw through it, and they both ran away."
Jin Yan's face darkened. "How detestable! I despise people who gain wealth without working for it the most."
Jin Yan looked at Lin Yuxin again, her face beaming. "Miss, may I know your name?"
Lin Yuxin replied generously, "Lin Yuxin, I am a doctor at this hospital."
"Doctor Lin, thank you so much just now. This is my second son, Lu Jincheng."
Lu Jincheng: "..."
He knew what his mother was thinking from the look in her eyes.
Here we go again!
Did he look like someone who couldn't find a wife?
However, Lin Yuxin had genuinely helped him. He hadn't expected human hearts to be so complicated.
And they had met three times now, it felt rather fated.
"Hello, Doctor Lin," Lu Jincheng greeted her slowly.
"Hello! Mr. Lu, I'll be going now." She was very sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep.
"Wait!" Jin Yan called out to Lin Yuxin, smiling as she held her hand. "Miss Lin, that man just now didn't seem like he'd let things go. Until he's caught, let my son drive you to and from work. I'm worried about you going home alone. That person really seemed to have killing intent. Look at my daughter, she's still lying in the hospital. How can I be at ease with you going alone? Leave your phone number for my son, he'll take you to and from work until that middle-aged man is caught. Only then will I be at peace."
Jin Yan said this not just for her son, but because she was genuinely afraid the middle-aged man would retaliate.
Lin Yuxin didn't think much of it. She lived at the hospital when she was on duty, and usually went home. Moreover, her working hours weren't regular; she had to work overtime when there were emergency patients.
"No need, Madam, I'm fine," Lin Yuxin wanted to refuse.
Lu Jincheng picked up his phone and looked at Lin Yuxin. "Doctor Lin, we can be considered fated. This is our fourth meeting. Let's add each other on WeChat and get to know each other. I'm also a doctor, just not working in a hospital."
"Oh!" Lin Yuxin smiled. Meeting a fellow professional would make it convenient to discuss things. This time, Lin Yuxin didn't refuse.
They exchanged phone numbers and added each other on WeChat.
The police also arrived. Lu Jincheng explained the situation and handed over the car's dashcam footage to the police, so that no one else as foolish as him would be deceived.
After handling it, Lu Jincheng looked at Lin Yuxin. "Miss Lin, get in the car, I'll take you home."
Lin Yuxin blinked, then realized. She smiled and shook her head. "No need, I'll take the bus ahead. It goes directly to my apartment complex."
Jin Yan, however, held her hand and wouldn't let go. "Yuxin, don't be polite. We're going the same way, let's go home together."
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Lin Yuxin got into the car.
She didn't have much of a concept of cars, only feeling that Lu Jincheng's car was much more comfortable than her brother's, and there was no strange smell inside.
...
In the ward, Yunyun ate a little and fell asleep again.
Jiang Nuan slept until she woke up naturally, unable to sleep any longer. She leaned against the headboard, lost in thought.
Mu Jiuchen came out after going to the bathroom and sat by the bed, holding her hand. "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Nuan turned her head and looked at him calmly. "When you'll leave."
Mu Jiuchen's gaze flickered, and his voice was hoarse. "Do you hate me that much?"
Jiang Nuan gave a wry smile. "You said it yourself, I didn't say that."
Mu Jiuchen wore a bitter smile. "Nuan Nuan, are you still angry?"
"No!" Jiang Nuan shook her head.
"Really not?" Jiang Nuan smiled again.
Mu Jiuchen gazed at her deeply, knowing she was still angry.
Mu Jiuchen thought for a moment, then suddenly craved something sweet. "How about you go buy me some pastries?"
Mu Jiuchen: "Okay! What do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine! As long as it's sweet, sweet things can make me feel better!"
Jiang Nuan glanced at the time. Chu Yunying would definitely come again today to confirm if their relationship was truly broken.
"Alright, I'll go buy them. You lie down."
Jiang Nuan obediently lay down slowly.
After Mu Jiuchen left, Jiang Nuan took out her phone and sent a message to Yan Qi.
[Yan Qi, what is Chu Yunying doing today?]
Yan Qi: [Sister, she came to the hospital with another woman.]
Jiang Nuan smiled faintly. [Got it! Yan Qi, thank you for your hard work. Take this time to go eat.]
Yan Qi: [It's okay, Sister. I brought lunch, I can eat it in the car later.]
Jiang Nuan: [Take care of yourself.]
She put down her phone and slowly got out of bed. This VIP ward was a suite.
There was another ward inside.
Jiang Nuan asked a nurse to carry her daughter to the inner ward.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Nuan leaned against the headboard and said, "Come in."
Chu Yunying and Ye Anran entered together. Both were dressed beautifully.
"Sister, Ran Ran and I came to see you." Chu Yunying walked in with a smile. She still smiled gently, as if nothing had happened.
Ye Anran, following behind, was holding a fruit basket.
Jiang Nuan's expression was a little cold, but not as agitated as yesterday.
Ye Anran: "Nuan Nuan, I heard you were injured, so I came to see."
"Thank you for your concern," Jiang Nuan's tone was so flat that it was impossible to discern her emotions.
Chu Yunying looked around.
Jiang Nuan said indifferently, "No need to look. Mu Jiuchen left after arguing with me last night."
Chu Yunying's smile suddenly became extremely bright.
"Sister, you can't possibly blame me, can you?" Chu Yunying didn't even pretend to be wronged now.
Jiang Nuan smiled. "Blame you? Why would I blame you? If anyone's to blame, it's my man for not being able to control his lower half. But if you keep insisting it's your fault, then it really is your fault. After all, there's a popular saying nowadays: the city is so prosperous, and the mistress is so brazen!"
Chu Yunying's face turned pale. Why did the word "mistress" apply to her?
Ye Anran had also heard about last night's events from Chu Yunying and was acting as a mediator.
"Nuan Nuan, could there be some misunderstanding? Yingying is like a sister that Ninth Master watched grow up. Yingying's happiest moments are when Ninth Master is mentioned, and she smiles so blissfully. How could she ruin your relationship?"
