An ambulance has taken her to the hospital. Hope she's not seriously hurt!

[Praying she's okay]

[The way Song Xingjia carried Jiang Mian was so cool!]

[I'm really done with these crazy fans, they're pure idiots and embarrass all of us Jia fans.]

[Are these even fans? They're lunatics, doing this in the name of love, [eye roll], Emperor Song will definitely be furious this time! Just wait and see!]

Yu Ji, after posting this video, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The scene was so dramatic, Jiang Mian was likely to be seriously injured.

“Yu Ji! What are you spacing out for! Go find out which hospital Song Xingjia took Jiang Mian to immediately! You must get the latest news!” the editor-in-chief yelled at him through the camera.

Originally, no one wanted to come to this place, as it was difficult to reach even by plane. But for Song Xingjia, he sent Yu Ji here. He didn’t expect this kid to be so lucky, this accident would surely bring their entertainment account extremely high exposure, and they had to grab the exclusive scoop.

Yu Ji nodded dumbly, “Understood, Editor-in-Chief.”

Hearing his reply, the editor-in-chief nodded with satisfaction, “Yu Ji, look at your name, Yu Ji. You were born for this line of work. I tell you, I have high hopes for you, don’t disappoint me.”

After ending the video call, Yu Ji’s face was filled with worry. If he were capable of digging up scoops, he wouldn’t still be at this company.

Despite his thoughts, he still picked up his camera and rushed out of the hotel. kuAiδugg

City People’s Hospital.

Jiang Mian was still unconscious. The doctor said the patient had been overworked lately and needed rest.

Li Zhuyi bit her lip, blaming herself. She had called Sister Ning immediately to inform her of the situation.

It was all her fault for not protecting Sister Mian well enough.

She looked at Jiang Mian on the hospital bed, silently praying for her quick recovery.

“Yes, have the studio issue a statement. I don’t need to teach you how to write it, right? Also, have all the other injured people been arranged for?” Song Xingjia said in a deep voice.

“They have been arranged, Young Master Song. Don’t worry, they all have minor injuries. I will find people to take care of them. As for the statement, can I show it to you after I’ve written it?” the assistant said.

“Yes, go ahead.”

After arranging everything, Song Xingjia hung up the phone. He hadn’t felt so powerless in a long time. Jiang Mian, so small and frail, nestled in his arms, made his heart ache in an instant.

He suddenly remembered the time he secretly went to Jiangnan to see her.

The little girl back then was lively and cute. When she was bullied, she’d sit on the ground, tears stubbornly welling up in her eyes, and then shout, “I have my grandma, and that’s enough!”

“Oh! No parents, you little wild thing!”

“Wild thing!”

Jiang Mian picked up the broken stones on the ground and threw them at their faces. The children scattered, “I am not!”

Song Xingjia closed his eyes. He, too, shared the Song family bloodline. Song Yin was only interested in playing with cats and dogs, never worrying about food or clothing. While Jiang Mian, at such a young age, had already taken on the responsibility of caring for her grandmother.

Therefore, the first thing he did upon returning to Port City was to tell his elder brother that he had found this child. He hoped to bring her back, even if it was under his name.

Unexpectedly, his elder brother, Song Xingzhi, reprimanded him and told him never to mention it again.

His elder brother might have forgotten this child, but he could not.

He felt guilty. This was the bloodline of the Song family, and not letting her acknowledge her ancestors was already his greatest dereliction of duty as her paternal uncle.

As long as there was an opportunity, he wanted to give Jiang Mian the best.

Returning to his senses from his memories, Song Xingjia walked to the bedside and sat on a chair. “You should go get something to eat. I’ll stay here with her.”

Li Zhuyi had met Song Xingjia several times and trusted his character. She nodded, “Okay, Emperor Song, what would you like to eat? I’ll get it for you.”

“No need, I’m not hungry. Bring Jiang Mian something light, she might wake up soon.”

“I understand.” Li Zhuyi picked up her bag.

After she left, Song Xingjia opened his phone, his eyes darkening as he looked at the overwhelming reports.

Jiang Mian woke up at night. As soon as she woke up, she habitually turned over and felt a sharp pain.

Song Xingjia, who had been dozing with his eyes closed, heard the movement and quickly opened them. “You’re awake? How are you feeling? Any discomfort anywhere else?”

Jiang Mian frowned, “Can I say I’m uncomfortable everywhere?”

“Yes,” Song Xingjia chuckled. She could still joke, which meant she was in good spirits.

“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?” he asked.

Jiang Mian was indeed a little hungry, but she shook her head. “Wait a moment, get me my phone, I need to make a call.”

Song Xingjia handed her the phone from the bedside table. Jiang Mian first called Sister Ning. Sister Ning had been waiting for her news and asked anxiously, “How is it?”

“Still alive. You didn’t tell him, did you?”

One “him,” and they both knew who they were talking about. Sister Ning didn’t know what to say. “My dear, do you think you can hide it from President Ji if I don’t tell him?”

The moment she received the news, she had unhesitatingly dialed President Ji’s number.

“Oh, by the way, I was planning to come see you in person. But President Ji said it wasn’t necessary.”

Jiang Mian nodded, “Indeed, it’s not necessary.”

“He said he’d come himself. He’s probably already on a plane and will arrive tomorrow afternoon,” Sister Ning continued.

“What!” Jiang Mian was stunned.

It was over. She could already imagine President Ji Zhixiu’s expression when he saw the news, it would surely be as dark as ink.

She hung up the phone and called Ji Zhixiu, but he didn’t answer.

She wanted to check the online news again, but Song Xingjia said, “You just woke up, and you’re still very weak. Rest a while longer, don’t look at your phone for now. I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.”

Jiang Mian lay down obediently, “Were there any other injuries?”

“Yes, all less severe than yours. They’ve been taken to other hospitals. I’ve arranged for people to guard this building, so no media will get in. I’ve also had the official Weibo and the studio issue a joint statement. Director Wang and the others wanted to stay and see you, but I sent them away, they can come tomorrow. Your assistant has been arranged to rest in the room next door.” Song Xingjia knew what she wanted to hear.

Jiang Mian blinked. “Did I make it to the trending searches? Such a good opportunity, let Director Wang promote our movie more, I gained this by getting injured.”

She meant it as a joke, not wanting Song Xingjia to feel guilty. But she heard him say in a deep voice, “I’ve already arranged for people to investigate this matter. I won’t let go of whoever spread the news to attract so many people and cause you to get injured. This incident also started because of me, Jiang Mian, I am very sorry.”

Jiang Mian was startled. Song Xingjia was also a victim. Besides, this was an accident. She rolled her small head, thought for a moment, and provided information to Song Xingjia: “I heard one of them shout something about you leaving after this press conference and never coming back, which is why they wanted to seize the opportunity.”

Lanshi was a remote prefecture-level city, and transportation was not as convenient as in other cities. Even flying there required a long drive. The reason it was chosen as the last stop was that Director Wang thought he wanted to spread the beauty of the drama throughout the country, and even these remote areas could not be missed.

Song Xingjia gently patted her head. “Sleep now, don’t think too much.”

Jiang Mian thought, how could she sleep? Ji Zhixiu was coming tomorrow. She still hadn’t figured out what to say.

But she still closed her eyes.

Shen Tingyu ate two large bowls of rice at night when she saw the news.

Heaven truly has eyes. Why didn’t they trample Jiang Mian to death? She felt quite regretful.

Ji Zhixiu arrived in Lanshi in the afternoon.

At that time, Director Wang and the crew members had just visited Jiang Mian. Only Jiang Mian and Song Xingjia were left in the ward.

“Would you like an apple?” After lying in bed for half the day, Song Xingjia, fearing she was bored, offered her snacks from time to time.

Jiang Mian shook her head. She knew Song Xingjia felt guilty, but this treatment was too good! She didn’t dare to accept it.

As they were talking, Jiang Mian looked up as if sensing something, and indeed, Ji Zhixiu was already standing at the door of the ward.

Song Xingjia followed her gaze.

The two men, having heard about each other from Jiang Mian, were meeting formally for the first time.

Song Xingjia mused, so this was the boyfriend Jiang Mian mentioned.

The Ji family was renowned, and Ji Zhixiu was the most outstanding among the younger generation of power holders in Kyoto. Everyone knew him.

Although he hadn’t heard any rumors about Ji Zhixiu’s romantic life, he wondered if he was truly sincere towards Mian Mian…

Ji Zhixiu slowly narrowed his long, narrow eyes. So this was Song Xingjia.

His appearance was not bad, and he was quite considerate. Mian Mian might not have any other feelings for him, but did he have no feelings for Mian Mian?

The two men engaged in a silent battle of eight hundred rounds.

Jiang Mian licked her lips, breaking their “deep gaze,” and weakly said, “I’m a little thirsty.”

“I’ll get it.”

“I’ll get it.”

The two men said in unison.

“Perhaps I should get it,” Li Zhuyi said.

After pouring the water, Li Zhuyi slipped away.

Oh my, she couldn’t handle President Ji alone, let alone Emperor Song this time. I’m sorry, Sister Mian, but I have to leave first.

Ji Zhixiu calmly extended his hand, “Ji Zhixiu, pleased to meet you.”

“I am Song Xingjia.”

The two men shook hands, their eyes meeting, their gazes filled with emotions the other couldn’t understand.

Jiang Mian: “……”

After a long moment, Song Xingjia was the first to let go. “Please sit, President Ji.”

Ji Zhixiu sat down in his previous seat unceremoniously, looked at Jiang Mian, and said as if no one else were present, “Where are you injured?”

“My feet, my hands…” Jiang Mian replied truthfully.

Ji Zhixiu frowned. “Let’s go back to Kyoto. Don’t stay in this hospital. I’ll have Sun Shu arrange a helicopter for tonight.”

Jiang Mian naturally did not object. She looked up, “Is Emperor Song coming with us?”

“No, I’ll be with the crew.”

Jiang Mian nodded.

Song Xingjia wanted to stay and watch a bit longer, but he could see that Jiang Mian really wanted to be alone with Ji Zhixiu. Given his current status, it was indeed not appropriate to say too much, so he simply left the room.

As soon as he left, Jiang Mian buried herself in Ji Zhixiu’s arms.

Ji Zhixiu lifted her chin. “Jiang Mian.”

“I’m here!” Jiang Mian said loudly.

“Let me see, where are you injured?”

Jiang Mian shook her head, her face full of resistance. “No.”

They were really ugly, bruised and purplish. She was scared when she saw herself last night.

“What are you afraid of?” he hit the nail on the head.

Jiang Mian looked up, her peach blossom eyes misty. “Don’t look, I don’t like it.”

Ji Zhixiu’s heart instantly softened.

He sighed softly. The moment he saw her, he felt all his fatigue vanish.

He hugged the little girl. “Do you know how worried I was when I got the news?”

“It was an accident, it won’t happen again,” Jiang Mian quickly said.
