Chapter 47: Miss Jiang’s Reluctance

Banxia dried her hair, changed clothes, and went to Uncle Ming’s room.

The caregivers were professional and attentive.

Rooms where patients stayed usually had a certain smell, even with a less sensitive nose you could smell it, but not here.

Everything was clean and tidy, and the air was always fresh.

As soon as she entered, the caregiver reported to her, “Miss Lin, Uncle Ming just had his herbal medicine and has gone to rest. His mental state today is better than yesterday, and he has gained three pounds compared to last week.”

“Hmm.” She was relieved, looking at the middle-aged man lying in bed with his eyes closed. His thin frame had clearly gained some weight, and he was curled up in the blanket, no longer a tiny bundle.

The caregiver bowed to her and left the room, standing guard at the door.

Lin Banxia sat down at the edge of the bed, gently lifted Uncle Ming’s wrist, and took his pulse again, her worried gaze falling on his weather-beaten face.

Uncle Ming was in much better condition than when he was first rescued, but why couldn’t he wake up?

Even with his eyes open, his gaze was vacant.

He was a crucial witness.

“Uncle Ming.” Lin Banxia remembered the past, she suppressed her inner sadness, even a hint of a smile appeared on her lips, “Six years ago, the Banxia you risked your life to protect is back. She even has two adorable children.”

Uncle Ming’s closed eyes seemed to move slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Banxia, however, was looking down, gently placing his hand back under the blanket, “If you could wake up and see the children, you would definitely like them.”

“We are now on the War family’s territory, it’s very safe. We no longer have to wander.”

She stood up, looking down at him again, “Uncle Ming, you must know a lot about Yang Yiming’s crimes, right? I’m waiting for you to wake up and help me bring him down.”

Perhaps Uncle Ming could understand, although his eyes were closed, his expression showed a slight agitation, his closed eyes were moving faster and faster.

The muscles on his face began to twitch, he seemed to be reacting.

This filled Lin Banxia with joy, the sudden happiness made her a little disbelief, “Uncle Ming!” She lowered her voice, excitedly calling, “Uncle Ming…”

Then she directly grabbed his hand, “It’s Banxia, can you hear me? It’s Banxia!”

His hand also seemed to have some strength, he knew to hold her hand back, Lin Banxia’s excited heart was already in her throat, “Uncle Ming…” She said with tears in her eyes, “Wake up, Uncle Ming!”

In her anticipation, Uncle Ming’s eyes wouldn’t open, and his trembling lips couldn’t even utter her name…

Banxia felt a little sad, but she didn’t give up.

Watching Uncle Ming slowly return to calm, as if he was asleep, her anxious heart slowly calmed down.

There were signs of improvement, but it was too early to be relieved.

That night, she flipped through medical books again and researched information, studying Uncle Ming’s condition alone. She decided to collect some herbs the next day.

Her prescriptions were all her own, and she washed and dried the herbs herself. Her medical skills were learned from her grandmother.

The next morning.

Jiang Qianxue had cried all night. Even the most skilled makeup artist couldn’t hide the swelling around her eyes.

But she still wore her most beautiful dress, sat in a wheelchair, and begged her father to take her to the entrance of Junsheng Group.

Jiang Tianxiang felt embarrassed, but he couldn’t refuse his daughter, so his expression was a bit complicated.

Jiang Qianxue hoped that Jingting would reconsider the marriage for her father’s sake.

After all, the Jiang family and the Zhan family could help each other in their businesses.

Love is fleeting, but interests are long-lasting.

Soon, a Lamborghini drove towards them.

Old Yu, the driver, saw the scene at the entrance from afar and reminded, “Young Master Zhan, Mr. Jiang and Miss Jiang are here.”

Zhan Jingting, who was reading a financial newspaper, looked up. His handsome face turned cold, “Go to the back door.”

“Yes.” Old Yu’s driving skills were excellent. He turned the steering wheel sharply, and the car turned around and left.

Jiang Tianxiang felt like time was slipping away. He felt awkward about being so eager to please in front of the company.

Especially since his daughter was still in a wheelchair.

It was rush hour, and almost all the employees coming to work saw this scene. Jiang Qianxue was very beautiful, and her clothes were all custom-made, so she was particularly eye-catching.

“Who is that? She’s so pretty in a wheelchair!”

“I don’t know about the girl, but that man seems to be Mr. Jiang. He came to our company a while ago, and I even greeted him.”

“Is the girl in the wheelchair his daughter? Is she… waiting for our Young Master Zhan?”

Of course, these discussions wouldn’t reach Jiang Qianxue ‘s ears. However, as time passed, it was soon 8:30.

She still hadn’t seen Zhan Jingting, which made her anxious. “Dad, let’s go to his office! Let’s wait there!”

Jiang Tianxiang was puzzled. Young Master Zhan was always punctual and wouldn’t be late for work.

However, they couldn’t go up without an appointment or someone to take them.

The employees had to swipe their cards to enter the elevator area after entering the lobby.

“Hello, we’re here to see Mr. Zhan. This is my father,” she said, rolling her wheelchair to the front desk. “Jiang Tianxiang, CEO of Jiang Corporation.”

Mr. Jiang had a kind smile on his face, but he was a little embarrassed. He couldn’t bring himself to do this. His daughter was practically throwing herself at Mr. Zhan, who might not even see her.

“Hello Mr. Jiang, Miss Jiang,” the receptionist greeted them with a smile, being particularly polite. “Without an appointment, please come back another time. Mr. Zhan’s schedule is booked a week in advance.”

“Is he here?” Jiang Qianxue suddenly thought, he might be deliberately avoiding her.

The receptionist assistant answered truthfully, “Mr. Zhan is already here.”

“Dad! Call him!” Jiang Qianxue angrily furrowed her brows and shouted at her father. “He’s deliberately avoiding me!”

Jiang Tianxiang felt a pang of sympathy for his daughter and picked up his phone to call Zhan Jingting. Qianxue reached out, “Give me the phone!”

After taking the phone, the girl put it to her ear. After a while, she answered.

Before the other party could speak, she said angrily –

“Zhan Jingting, what do you mean? Shouldn’t you give me an explanation? You’re deliberately avoiding me, right?!”

“I’m telling you, I’m downstairs right now. You better let me up! Otherwise, I’ll slander Lin Banxia here! I’ll let the whole world know you’re with a discarded girl!”

Zhan Jingting told her, “I’d rather be with a discarded girl than marry you. Don’t you think you should reflect on yourself?” After saying that, he calmly hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Jiang Qianxue ‘s lungs were about to explode. “Zhan Jingting! You bastard!” She had lost miserably!

The passing employees who overheard the conversation, as well as the receptionist who had been listening all along, were all incredibly shocked.

Who was Mr. Zhan with? A discarded girl? Mr. Zhan had a girlfriend?

How dare she speak to Mr. Zhan in that tone? Who was this young lady in front of them?
