Shang Jinshen looked at Shao Kai for a while and then landed his gaze on the fragile figure on the bed. His assistant, Lan Si, pushed his wheelchair to the side of the bed.
Shao Kai regained his composure, narrowed his eyes, and asked, “Who are you?”
“How is she?” Shang Jinshen ignored Shao Kai and asked the nurse standing beside them.
The nurse was suppressed by Shang Jinshen’s imposing manner and said, “Her old wounds became infected. It could have been caused by her drinking the last night and spiking a fever.”
Shang Jinshen’s face darkened when he heard that she had drunk. He looked at Ji Yan with displeasure. Is this woman looking for death? She knew she was injured but she still dared to drink with another man.
Thinking of other men, Shang Jinshen showed a hint of anger and looked at Shao Kai coldly.
Shao Kai felt a little uncomfortable. He did not like the imposing manner of the man looking down on him. He secretly wondered what kind of relationship this disabled man had with Ji Yan.
How could Shang Jinshen not know Shao Kai’s identity? Lan Si had already reported it to him in the early morning. He didn’t bother to take a second glance at a mere supervisor. Shang Jinshen ordered Lan Si behind him, “Pay her fees and take her out of the hospital.”
“Hey, who are you? How could you take Ji Yan away? She hasn’t woken up yet.” Shao Kai was angry. He stepped forward and seemed to be protecting Ji Yan.
Lan Si looked at Shao Kai sarcastically. Without saying anything, he turned around and followed the nurse to go through the discharge formalities.
Shang Jinshen didn’t pay any attention to Shao Kai from the beginning to the end. He frowned and looked at Ji Yan, sleeping on the bed. He said in a low voice, “Ji Yan.”
Ji Yan was still dreaming that she was drinking happily. She was warm all over and suddenly heard Shang Jinshen’s deep voice, causing her to break out in a cold sweat in fear instantly.
She opened her mouth and wanted to explain but found that she couldn’t speak at all. It was as if she were mute.
“Ji Yan,” Shang Jinshen’s voice became deeper and deeper.
This time, Ji Yan finally opened her blurry eyes. Her brows furrowed as she struggled to see the scene in front of her.
Huh? Why did she see Shang Jinshen? Wasn’t it a dream?
“Shao Kai?” She tentatively called out another man’s name.
When Shao Kai saw that Ji Yan ignored the man, he smiled brightly and said, “Yes, I’m here.”
Ji Yan pressed her head, which was a little dizzy. She remembered that she went back to sleep after drinking the last night. “Where is Wenjing?”
“She went to GN,” Shao Kai answered.
Shang Jinshen’s face was dark. Didn’t this stupid woman see him?
“Ji Yan!”
She suddenly looked at Shang Jinshen. Was it not a dream? Ji Yan immediately became nervous. “Uhm, why are you here?”
Shang Jinshen’s heart was raging with fire and he said in a low voice, “Would you cheat if I’m not here?”
What? Listening to the deep meaning of Shang Jinshen’s words, Ji Yan only felt a headache. Shao Kai was still looking at them thoughtfully.
“Jinshen,” she called him weakly and dared not ask why he showed up in the Southlake City. It was not something she could ask.
Shang Jinshen snorted and didn’t look at her anymore. Lan Si then came in with the discharge papers. When he saw Ji Yan wake up, he called out, “Madam Ji Yan.”
It was like a clap of thunder, stunning Shao Kai. What did he mean by “Madam” Ji Yan?
Ji Yan pulled a stiff smile while Shang Jinshen said profoundly, “Let’s leave.”
Ji Yan looked at her hospital gown and wondered, “Why am I here in the hospital?”
Looking at Ji Yan’s questioning eyes, Shao Kai explained with a pale face, “You had a high fever last night. Wenjing and I brought you to the hospital.”
Ji Yan nodded and thanked him. She got up and picked up her clothes. Then she entered the dressing room. After a while, she left the hospital with a pale face and followed Shang Jinshen.
Shao Kai wanted to speak but stopped. Ji Yan turned to him and said, “Shao Kai, thank you very much. I still have some personal matters to take care of…” She pointed at Shang Jinshen’s back with an awkward expression.
Shao Kai didn’t ask anything and left on his own in understanding.
Ji Yan trotted to catch up with Shang Jinshen and said to Lan Si, “Let me push him.”
Lan Si nodded and handed the wheelchair to Ji Yan, then stepped back behind them. Ji Yan slowly walked. After hesitating for a long time, she explained, “Jinshen, that man is only my colleague. He and Wen Jing sent me to the hospital last night.”
Shang Jinshen did not respond to her words, but the low pressure around him let Ji Yan know that he was fuming
After a long time, Shang Jinshen sneered, “There’s no need to explain. That man has a good appearance. If it weren’t for the Shang family, you would have thrown yourself on him, wouldn’t you?”
“Oh, but I can’t rule out the possibility that you don’t think highly of him. After all, what you value most is wealth and power.”
His sarcasm made Ji Yan extremely embarrassed, but she did not open her mouth to refute anything. Anyway, he would not believe her.
Seeing that Ji Yan did not immediately make a bunch of promises to him like before, Shang Jinshen raised his eyebrows. He suddenly felt that it was boring to humiliate her now.
Standing outside the hospital, Ji Yan halted and said, “I will pay you back for the medical expenses.”
Upon hearing this, Shang Jinshen’s face darkened, and the corners of his mouth curled up. “Ji Yan, don’t pretend to be lofty. It’s disgusting.”
“Disgusting?” Ji Yan was stunned. She was so mad that her whole body was shaking. She seemed to be unable to stand steadily, and she felt dizzy.
If Shang Jinshen hadn’t given her a hand, Ji Yan might really have fallen.
“Take care of your body. Don’t look like you could leave this earth anytime,” Shang Jinshen said in a disgusted voice and quickly let go of her as if he was avoiding germs.
When did she look like was about to kick the bucket? If it weren’t for this evil man, she would guarantee that she would be alive and kicking every day! Ji Yan was unable to refute and felt pissed in her heart. “Don’t bicker with him, don’t bicker with him…” She chanted in her head.
“Lan Si, let’s go.” Shang Jinshen glanced at Ji Yan and asked Lan Si to push him into the car.
Ji Yan was clever and didn’t follow him. She didn’t want to be abused, so she turned around and planned to go to the hotel. She didn’t even have her phone on her, so she could only go back and contact Li Wenjing.
Before Ji Yan could call Li Wenjing, she saw Li Wenjing open the door and come in with a smile. She asked with concern, “Ji Yan, are you all right? Why are you discharged from the hospital?”
She smiled lightly, “It’s all right. The nurse said the fever had subsided.”
Li Wenjing was relieved and got down to business. “The result of the competition has come out. We will attend the award ceremony at Oriental Hotel tomorrow night.”
Ji Yan nodded. She was looking forward to it, but she didn’t know what kind of results she would get.
“By the way, Ji Yan, GN said that we should dress up to attend the award. It’s better to bring a male companion to Oriental Hotel. Tomorrow is not only an award ceremony but also a party!”
What? She was unfamiliar with the place and the people. Where could she find a male companion? Ji Yan suddenly thought of Shang Jinshen and then shook her head. Asking him to be her male companion? What was she even thinking?
Ji Yan asked curiously, “Who are you going to invite as a male companion?”
Li Wenjing blinked, “I’m going with Shao Kai.”
Shao Kai? Well, he and Li Wenjing looked like a good match, standing next to each other.
