Chapter 71: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
Chapter 71: Should I Take Responsibility for All of This?**
"Hello, are you Jiang Chenchen? This is City Hospital. Just now, your relative Jiang Jie'er had an accident and is currently undergoing emergency treatment at our hospital. Are you a relative of Jiang Jie'er? The situation is urgent, and we request you to come over immediately!"
At this moment, the police were investigating the accident, and it was connected to Jiang Chenchen's identity. The doctor urgently contacted her.
Jiang Chenchen listened to the information on the other end, responded in a low voice, and then hung up the phone.
Was this the only relative she had left in this world? Bleeding so much, could she die?
At the next stop, she got off the bus, flagged down a taxi, and headed to the hospital.
Jiang Jie'er was currently in the operating room, undergoing emergency treatment.
The doctor brought a consent form for surgery for Jiang Chenchen to sign. Holding the pen, Jiang Chenchen remained silent for a moment before signing her name.
She sat outside the operating room, waiting from the afternoon until it got dark.
The door to the operating room remained closed.
Xia Changli called her, asking why she hadn't returned, and she remained silent on the other end.
"Where are you? I'm coming to find you!"
Xia Changli rushed over, looking disheveled. She didn't ask anything, just sat beside Jiang Chenchen, waiting together.
The door to the operating room finally opened.
The doctor came out and looked at them. "Are you Jiang Jie'er's family?"
Jiang Chenchen stood up, nodding expressionlessly.
The doctor, thinking that the girl might be scared, softened his tone. "The patient has been stabilized, but she's still unconscious. Her injuries are quite severe—fractured thoracic vertebra, broken arms, both legs fractured. We managed to save her for now, but there might be more surgeries needed later."
"As for the expenses..."
The expenses were not small.
Jiang Chenchen had no money, not even enough with the card given by Sheng Mingsi.
The nurse urged her to make the payment.
Xia Changli quickly transferred the money she owed to Jiang Chenchen using her card and added another two thousand.
"Chenchen, I'm sorry, but this is my limit."
She knew it was definitely not enough, regretting why she was always so financially strained, unable to help at all.
Jiang Chenchen, without any expression, looked at her and said, "Lili, should I be the one to pay this money?"
Xia Changli hesitated. "Chenchen, who is this person you're talking about?"
A relative with the same surname?
But she had never heard of any relatives of Jiang Chenchen.
"A cousin of mine. The uncle is my father's younger brother. He took me out of the psychiatric hospital to sell to others for profit." Jiang Chenchen said, still emotionless. "I used to think it didn't matter, no matter what happened to me. I didn't care, but I heard he's dead now."
"It was my aunt who killed him. Now lying inside should be my sister. Should I take responsibility for all of this?"
She asked seriously.
Although it seemed like she was indifferent.
Xia Changli held her hand. She understood that feeling of being isolated and helpless. She didn't know that Jiang Chenchen had experienced something as difficult as her.
"Chenchen, no one can blame you for this. It's not a responsibility you must bear. If there's something you don't want to do, no one can blame you. I support whatever you decide."
The person from the operating room was pushed out by the nurse, covered in tubes.
Could she really just ignore it?
Thinking of the time when she lay on the experimental bed, if someone could have come to save her.
She helped to pay the bill with the money.
...
In the hospital room, the drip fell, entering the skin through the needle.
Jiang Chenchen sat by the bedside, watching the person still in a deep sleep. Xia Changli went outside to buy food, knocking on the door.
The two sat on the steps in the corridor, eating silently.
Jiang Chenchen opened the lunchbox, silently eating. Xia Changli handed her a cup of hot milk tea. "Chenchen, where did you get so much money?"
She had considered borrowing money from Mr. Sheng, who was rich, but according to her personality, if she had already accepted donations, she would never borrow money again.
She thought Jiang Chenchen might be the same.
Jiang Chenchen went to the driving school to get back the money she paid for the driving lessons. Now, she couldn't afford to continue learning.
The three men found her again.
This time, she took the business card.
"That day, I need a car."
The three men were overjoyed. "Really? Of course, no problem!"
"If I win against everyone, can you add more money?"
"This... We have to ask Brother Sun about it."
After Sun Bailong heard about it, he immediately transferred ten thousand yuan to her account.
"Is this sincerity enough?"
"Good."
Jiang Chenchen agreed.
First, she used the ten thousand to cover the surgery costs.
Jiang Chenchen didn't take care of the patient in the ward. Instead, she hired someone to take care of her. She only needed to earn money to save her life. Other than that, she didn't care.
Sheng Mingsi was also busy during this time. He had been sick before, delaying a lot of time, and now there were some banquets to attend at the end of the year.
When he came back, it was very late, and it was not good to disturb Jiang Chenchen.
But every time he came back, he would bring some desserts and put them on the table.
Afterwards, without attaching any notes, she should understand.
But tonight, the small cake he brought for her was untouched, not in line with her usual sweet-eating style.
After Sheng Mingsi came back, he put down the cake, went to the room to be busy, took a shower, came out to make coffee, and then found that the cake had not been touched. It didn't match her habit of eating sweets cleanly every time.
He sat on the sofa, slowly sipping his coffee.
In the group chat, Ye Xi was making noise again.
Handsome Xi: "Guess who I saw?! Young Master Sheng, why do I always encounter your wife everywhere?"
Shortly after, he attached a photo.
In the photo, Jiang Chenchen was dressed as usual, leaning against a red car. The wind on the mountain road was strong, blowing her hair a bit messy.
Under those disheveled strands of hair, her delicate face, illuminated by the street lamp, appeared cold and full of atmosphere.
Zhao Shitian: "Where is this? Looks like fun."
Handsome Xi: "Wudao Mountain, night race. Today's heavyweight guests are Southern City's top racer, Jing Jiangning, and the surprise appearance of Young Master Sheng's little wife! I'm here too. If it's my wife, I'll let her have some face and not leave her too far behind."
He quickly sent messages in the group and
then walked towards Jiang Chenchen.
Online, Qin Chi, who was casually watching the excitement, commented: "You're dead."
Handsome Xi: "Didn't I say something wrong?"
Not long after, his mobile phone rang. It was his eldest brother calling.
"Come home immediately, or your card will be frozen."
Ye Xi: "? Holy crap!"
In the group.
Handsome Xi: "Young Master Sheng, you're ruthless!"
