Chapter 1055 Running Away from Home Again?

Seeing it was the same person as last time, the doctor didn’t dare to slack off and carefully and diligently conducted the examination.

Wen Jichen stood beside, enveloped in intense gloom. Looking at the lifeless girl on the hospital bed, his hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists.

The doctor carried out the examination methodically, and heaved a sigh of relief once it was completed.

“Director Wen, Miss Ling is fine, she’s just fainted from fright and her superficial wounds aren’t serious. Just try to avoid getting them wet for the next couple of days. But…”

“But what?”

The doctor sighed lightly before continuing, “But Miss Ling’s nerves are currently in an extremely tense, fragile state, so try to avoid doing things that would stimulate her. Otherwise, Miss Ling’s condition could easily relapse…”

Just what on earth did this Director Wen do?

To torment a girl to this extent?

Every time ending up in the hospital.

If this continues, even someone without mental issues would end up having problems from all this turmoil.

Wen Jichen stood quietly on one side, showing no expression in response to the doctor’s words, as if he didn’t care at all.

Of course, that’s if you ignore his fingers turning white from the pressure.

“Director Wen, the injury on your face… should we treat it as well?”

Seeing the clear finger marks on Wen Jichen’s face, the doctor was somewhat appalled.

Who had such nerve? To dare strike this master in front of us?

His eyes cautiously glanced at the person on the bed, then quickly retracted.

After what happened last time, with Director Wen nearly storming the hospital for her, he couldn’t think of anyone else who would dare this.

Even if Yin Xiner, the eldest miss of the Yin family, was someone Director Wen cherished, compared to this…

“Get out!”

“Y-yes!”

The doctor understood the implication and didn’t dare linger, hastily leaving with his team.

Powerful and wealthy families have always been untouchable entities, especially with this master clearly in rage.

The room fell silent as the emotions in Wen Jichen’s eyes gradually settled.

He approached silently, looking at the person on the hospital bed, and after a while, leaned down to pick her up.

At the hospital entrance, Xiao Yan was already waiting by the car.

Seeing Wen Jichen carrying someone out, he quickly bent down to open the back door.

Ling Qingan remained unconscious, nestled in Wen Jichen’s arms.

On the way back, Wen Jichen kept his head lowered, watching the girl in his arms.

Her face was still as pale as paper, with no trace of blood, and the once gently smiling face now appeared lifeless.

He reached out to tidy the girl’s messy hair, then gently caressed her cheek.

The delicate sensation under his fingers made him appear somewhat dazed, and Ling Qingan’s resolute words surged into his mind once more.

“I don’t mind disappearing from your world again.”

“My future doesn’t include you.”

Couldn’t she just obediently stay by his side?

Why did she have to think of escaping?

His large hand wandered over her face; it looked obedient, but was actually more infuriating than anyone and more stubborn than anyone deep down.

The silence in the car was somewhat overwhelming.

Xiao Yan occasionally glanced toward the back seat through the rearview mirror. Seeing Wen Jichen looking absent-minded, with the clear slap mark on his face, he was incredibly shaken.

Having been by Director Wen’s side for many years, he had never seen anyone dare lay a hand on Director Wen before, not even Miss Xiner with her status as the eldest miss of the Yin family, she was always cautious around him.

Yet, when Director Wen, who always maintained a calm demeanor, was ever like this?

Xiao Yan was still in shock, and when he looked up again at the rearview mirror, he accidentally locked eyes with Wen Jichen’s deep gaze.

He shivered internally, about to apologize, but didn’t expect Wen Jichen to speak first.

“Contact the doctor we reached out to before and bring them to Platinum Lanting.”

Xiao Yan’s straight spine instantly relaxed, and he responded quietly, “…Yes.”

–

Su Ran was busy socializing and didn’t know about the incident that took place in the parking lot.

By ten in the evening, the celebration party was about to conclude.

Ye Zhichen had also been socializing all night, so she hadn’t left early.

While waiting for the elevator together, Su Ran rubbed her tired forehead and then looked at Ye Zhichen, saying:

“It’s too late today, let’s skip the trouble of going back and forth. I’ve booked a room at the hotel, we can just stay at the hotel tonight.”

Ye Zhichen nodded, “What about you?”

Su Ran was about to speak when her phone suddenly rang in her bag.

She took it out and saw it was a call from Tao Wanqing.

“Mom?”

“Xiao Ran, is your company’s celebration over?”

“Just finished,” Su Ran replied.

“Where are you now? You haven’t gone back yet, have you?”

“Not yet, I’m waiting for the elevator,” Su Ran said with some confusion, “Is something wrong, Mom?”

Tao Wanqing’s voice was calm and light, “Oh, nothing. I’m at Atlantis, why don’t you come to find me?”

“What are you doing at Atlantis?” Su Ran was even more puzzled.

“I decided to stay here tonight, not going back.”

Su Ran couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth, “Have you… run away from home again?”

Hearing this, Ye Zhichen quietly looked up.

Tao Wanqing blinked her eyes, “No, just felt like staying at the hotel tonight.”

Su Ran helplessly rubbed her forehead, “Did you and Dad fight? Or did Dad make you angry?”

“…No.”

Which means yes.

“Which room are you in?”

Tao Wanqing gave her room number.

“Alright, I’ll come over to find you now.”

Su Ran hung up the phone and shook her head at the phone helplessly.

“Your mother-in-law?” Ye Zhichen asked curiously.

Su Ran put away her phone, “Yes, I need to go to the hotel to find her, you…”

“I’ll go with you, let’s go together!” Ye Zhichen’s eyes sparkled excitedly.

She had never met other members of the Fu family before. She assumed that a century-old family like the Fu family would be conservative, with strict etiquette.

Especially a traditional mother-in-law, who would be difficult to approach and have very high expectations for a daughter-in-law.

But from their conversation, it didn’t seem to be the case.

Xiao Ran’s mother-in-law seemed interesting.

Watching Ye Zhichen’s eager expression, Su Ran thought, “…”

She couldn’t tell if it was an illusion, but she strangely felt that Zhichen would get along well with her dramatic mother-in-law.

However, it was late, and she indeed didn’t feel at ease leaving her alone.

“Alright, let’s go together then.”

The elevator quickly arrived, and after the two entered, they pressed the button for Tao Wanqing’s floor.

–

When the two of them reached the door, Su Ran confirmed the room number once more before ringing the doorbell.

The door was opened, and Tao Wanqing’s eyes suddenly brightened when she saw Su Ran.

“Xiao Ran.”

“Mom.”

Ye Zhichen watched the two of them from the side. The woman was in casual home attire. Time seemed particularly kind to her. Even without any makeup, there were hardly any visible wrinkles.

Her demeanor was elegant and dignified, exuding an aura of noble grace that was impossible to conceal.

Is this Fu Qiyuan’s mother? Xiao Ran’s mother-in-law?

She’s indeed an extraordinary beauty.

She had thought Xiao Ran’s mother-in-law would be a rather stringent person, but she turned out to be so approachable.

Moreover, her relationship with Xiao Ran seemed to be very good.

At this moment, Tao Wanqing also noticed Ye Zhichen beside them, “And who is this…”

There was no need for Su Ran to introduce, Ye Zhichen warmly introduced herself, “Hello Auntie, I am Xiao Ran’s friend, Ye Zhichen.”
