Chapter 195 That’s it
Chi's mother, Wen Lan, arrived at the hospital immediately with four bodyguards and began questioning her in a accusatory tone.
"How is Xiao Che? How did he get hurt?"
"I'm sorry, Aunt Chi, he's already in surgery. The eldest son will definitely be fine."
Lü Haotian stepped forward and shielded Jiang Yi behind him.
"A sudden riot broke out at the manor, and someone injured the boss in the chaos. We will not let him get away with this."
Wen Lan instantly understood when she saw Jiang with her head down that Chi Ruiche must have gotten hurt protecting her.
Jiang Yi didn't speak, waiting quietly in the quiet corridor.
A moment later, the doctor came out and said, "Family members, please sign."
Wen Lan stepped forward first to sign the papers, saying, "I am his mother."
"This is the anesthesia consent form. The wound is too deep and there has been excessive blood loss, so general anesthesia is the only option."
The anesthesiologist explained the potential risks during the anesthesia process.
After saying that, he quickly went inside and told the family to wait, assuring them that they would do their best to treat the patient.
Jiang Yi sat outside the operating room, staring at the ever-burning red light, silently praying to God countless times, willing to exchange her own life for God's. Helpless, she prayed to the ethereal God.
Time suddenly seemed to slow down. Abu paced anxiously back and forth, while Wen Lan looked at Jiang Yi with anger.
The operating room lights went out, and the doctors and nurses wheeled Chi Ruiche out of the room.
Jiang Yi ran over and looked at Chi Ruiche, who was unconscious and receiving an IV drip. Looking at the stable vital signs on the electrocardiogram, her eyes filled with tears.
"Director Sun, how is Xiao Che?" asked Lü Haotian, the chief surgeon and a surgical expert.
"The bullet in the arm has been removed, and the dagger in the abdomen has also been removed," Director Sun said objectively.
"The wound had damaged his internal organs, and he had lost too much blood. He was already unconscious and in shock when he entered the operating room."
"shock?"
Wen Lan grasped the doctor's hand and said nervously.
"When the patient wakes up depends on their willpower," Director Sun said helplessly.
Everyone was stunned by these words, as if a thunderbolt had suddenly appeared in a clear sky.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, the air became heavy, and the world fell silent.
Chi Ruiche was taken to a VIP ward. He quietly closed his eyes, his breathing was weak, his face was pale, and bandages were wrapped around his body.
Wen Lan no longer had her usual kind demeanor; she spoke coldly.
"Jiang Yi, there are some things I'd like to talk to you about."
Wen Lan usually calls him "Xiao Yi," but she never does it like this today.
"it is good."
Wen Lan gestured for Jiang Yi to follow her, and they walked straight to the end of the corridor, which led to the hospital rooftop.
It's lunchtime now, and there's hardly anyone on the rooftop except for a few white sheets that the caregivers have hung out to dry, fluttering in the wind.
"I am officially telling you today that your engagement with Xiao Che is now over."
"Neither your grandfather Chi nor Xiao Che's father will agree to your marriage with Xiao Che anymore," Wen Lan said bluntly.
“Aunt Chi, I cannot agree to this unless Che says it himself.” Jiang Yi’s tone was gentle yet firm.
"You're a menace if you're around him!"
"He hasn't been to the company for the past few days. Aren't you surprised?"
Wen Lan complained, as if Jiang Yi was a burden that hindered Chi Ruiche.
"Because of you, his grandfather will have to choose a new heir for the Chi family, and the Chi Group's president will be handed over to Chi Chengting. This means that all of Xiao Che's efforts over the years will have been in vain; you are an obstacle to him!"
Wen Lan's gaze pierced Jiang Yi's heart like a knife, her tone filled with deep anger.
Her son is a chosen one, and they absolutely cannot lose, otherwise they will have no place in the Chi family.
"Aunt Chi, do you know what Che doesn't like to eat? Do you know what clothes Che doesn't like to wear?"
Jiang Yi ignored Wen Lan's angry glare and instead gently posed the two questions.
"Che doesn't like drinking bird's nest soup, and he doesn't like wearing shirts."
Wen Lan was startled by her words. Every time she served it to him, he would finish it. When she asked him if she could cook it for him again next time, he never objected.
She would buy him any shirts she saw that fit, because she assumed that he liked her because he always wore shirts.
"When did you stop caring about Chi Ruiche and start caring about the heir of the Chi family?"
“Aunt Chi, the one with me is Chi Ruiche, not the heir of the Chi family.”
“I have been well protected, but I am not weak and easily bullied. Chi Ruiche used to protect me, now it’s my turn. No matter what he wants to do, the Jiang family and I will be his support.”
The wind ruffled Jiang Yi's hair. Jiang Yi placed her hands on her lower abdomen, suppressing her emotions as she looked at Wen Lan.
Even if you ask me to leave now, I won't go.
Wen Lan was somewhat taken aback; this girl had always been a hothouse flower.
Do you think you can change my mind with just a few simple words?
"I don't expect to change your mind, but I won't leave Che."
Jiang Yi has never been a weak woman; the children of the Jiang family can never lose their aura, no matter where they are.
"Aunt Chi, I have to go see Che now, please excuse me."
"Do you think I'll let you into the ward again?" Wen Lan asked confidently.
"Then I'll wait outside until Che wakes up."
Jiang Yi didn't want to talk to her anymore, and she wasn't in the mood to say anything more.
Wen Lan watched Jiang Yi's departing figure and sighed deeply. When did their mother-son relationship begin to drift apart?
From the moment Chi Ruiche was designated as the heir, he learned to hide himself. The more perfect his performance, the higher their expectations of him became.
Over the years, they have never even asked him how he was doing or whether he wanted to be arranged this way.
Over the years, he cared most about Jiang Yi, and no one knew why. Now she knew: only in front of Jiang Yi was he truly himself.
"You're absolutely right, but the fact is that Xiao Che got hurt because of you."
Chi Jingwen's face was ashen, his brows furrowed, and his eyes sharp and cold. He walked step by step toward Jiang Yi and stood beside Wen Lan.
"I will take good care of him."
Chi Jingwen looked at the girl in front of him with an indifferent expression, showing no emotion whatsoever.
“I’ve talked to Chi Ruiche several times, and each time I’ve told him to give you up.”
“He has a cold personality, and once he makes up his mind, he never looks back. In this respect, he is not like me, but much like his third uncle.”
"Third Uncle?" Jiang Yi stood with his back turned, twisting the back of his hands to force himself to calm down.
Chi Jingwen's eyes appeared calm, but he saw through Jiang Yi's every move.
“Back then, his third uncle insisted on his own way, and in the end, your aunt died along with the child in her womb, and he himself was left with a disability.”
Do you hope that Chi Ruiche will follow in his footsteps?
Jiang Yi's face suddenly turned deathly pale, and his eyes widened in shock.
"Xiao Che might wake up at any time. He protected you with his life. Let's end things here."
Chi Jingwen stabbed Jiang Yi in the heart, using her guilt to make her leave Chi Ruiche.
"I want to stay with him, and I will leave when he wakes up."
Jiang swallowed all her emotions, her eyes as still as a stagnant pool.
Chi Jingwen pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.
