Chapter 541: Chapter 541
Anyway, whenever Xiang Wenxin mentioned Feng Xiaoyue, the woman who failed to become his sister-in-law, his emotions would become quite turbulent.
What could Liu Zhizhong say? ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
He could only helplessly say, "Sigh, Master, I really can't do anything about it. I don't know about Director Feng and his wife's families, but as a minor official, I definitely can't afford to offend them. If I'm not careful, I could lose my life. Director Feng has always been very concerned about the Qingqing matter, after all, it's related to her business interests. If I don't report any updates, I would be neglecting my duty! Master, don't be angry, cool down. You look the best and the most charming when you're not angry, very reasonable and full of charisma!"
"Damn flatterer! Always trying to cheer me up, Humph..."
Xiang Wenxin pouted dissatisfiedly, picking up her pace and walking ahead.
Actually, hey, wasn't he feeling a bit pleased inside?
Seeing that this had somewhat calmed her down, Liu Zhizhong felt more relieved in his heart.
The grudge between the ladies of grand houses, it really wasn't too convenient for him, a man, to be caught in the middle!
After reaching the cable car station, Liu Zhizhong followed Xiang Wenxin onto the descending cable car.
In the 8-person cable car cabin, just the two of them made it seem very spacious, but the ample space granted a considerable amount of freedom.
At that time, Xiang Wenxin was browsing her short videos, naturally paying close attention to trending topics, like the "one versus five" in a certain autonomous state, or the woman protecting a foreign school bus in a certain state.
She was scrolling and cursing at the same time.
Liu Zhizhong silently sat there, watching the long-span cable car glide over Longfeng Canyon, taking in the charming scenery, and just listened to her rant.
Of course, from Xiang Wenxin's remarks, he could feel that this woman from a powerful family was very upright inside, capable of logical thinking, not easily swayed, approached problems from a perspective of humanity and morality, and could dialectically view issues.
For a moment, he was genuinely interested in this powerful family from the south. However, it wasn't easy to inquire about them, was it?
Xiang Wenxin had her principles. Whatever she could say, she would say; what she couldn't mention, she truly wouldn't speak of.
After getting off the cable car, the two did not walk but headed directly to the battery cars in the scenic area and returned to the main parking lot of Longfeng Canyon.
There, as usual, Liu Zhizhong drove directly towards Putian Hospital.
Driving what could be described as the Rolls-Royce version of custom RVs, Liu Zhizhong hadn't really gotten to appreciate its purpose or, you might say, clever uses. Yet, he wasn't feeling regretful. After all, finding Qingqing was a great thing.
Halfway there, as they passed a busy commercial street, Xiang Wenxin said to Liu Zhizhong, "That'll do. There's a bus stop under the banyan tree ahead. Drop me off there, and I'll get off. As for my car, you take it. I'll inform you once there's any update on the investigation."
"Ah? You're getting off? Why aren't you coming to the hospital with me?"
Xiang Wenxin gave him a glance and said, "I don't want to be a third wheel. Watching the two of you with your tearful greetings and lovey-dovey expressions, I really can't stand it. Of course, I also don't want to see you all lusty. It's pretty annoying."
Those frosty words somehow sounded funny.
Liu Zhizhong wanted to laugh but was also a bit frustrated as he shook his head, "Please stop saying that, all right? It's not as tragic as you imagine, nor as undesirable..."
"I just feel it's going to be tragic, feel it's going to be undesirable! A 28-year-old old man and a 19-year-old sick beauty, tsk tsk..."
"Hey, you're calling me an old man? Isn't it that you're only a few months younger than me?"
"You're just an old man, so what?"
The pestering Xiang Wenxin, truly, one simply couldn't continue with her!
After dropping her off at the bus stop, she disappeared behind a billboard at the stop, blending into the passing crowd.
Liu Zhizhong drove slowly, trying to see where she went, but quickly lost sight of her.
He shook his head in resignation and smiled. Ah, my Master, haha, such an interesting woman!
How to put it, her not sitting there in the passenger seat, without hearing her voice, why did it feel like life suddenly became a bit lonely?
Driving the luxurious car, Liu Zhizhong soon arrived at Putian Hospital.
At the hospital, he was somewhat moved to learn that Qingqing had been taken to the intensive care unit. It wasn't necessary, but at the request of the Xiang family, the hospital had to comply.
The doctor said a visit would be possible, but he needed to undergo a full-body sterilization and change into a sterile suit first.
Thus, Liu Zhizhong was busy cooperating with the doctors.
During this, he even saw personnel from the Xiang family handling matters—two of them, one male and one female, both wearing sunglasses and dressed neatly, not in the typical black attire but rather casual, though they looked very dignified and polite.
These two informed Liu Zhizhong that they, along with colleagues, would be spread throughout the hospital to ensure Qingqing's safety and avoid too much disturbance. They also reminded him not to reveal too much information about her. Videos could be taken, but without showing recognizable equipment.
Liu Zhizhong naturally agreed and was very grateful.
When he entered Qingqing's ICU through a dedicated medical passageway, Liu Zhizhong was completely overwhelmed and softened tremendously...
