Chapter 17: Risking Her Life

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Risking one’s life?

Fang Yan was shocked by her words.

“Youyou, I saw the news online. That person called Ren Yuan.”

When Qi You heard the name, she immediately perked up and exposed it to Fang Yan. “What Ren Yuan? His surname is Hu. He just wants to be more westernized and specially changed his name last year. I personally went to Thailand to look for a master to calculate what he should do about it. Did it work? Did he become popular all of a sudden?”

“In that case, those posts are all exaggerated?” Fang Yan heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Then the scandal between you and him is fake?”

After two days of experience, Fang Yan’s acceptance of such scandals had increased by several levels. She was more willing to believe that this was also a publicity stunt led by Qi You.

However, Qi You told Fang Yan that it was true.

“Yanyan, I love him. I’m in love with him! He’s not what the outside world says. He’s very good! Really! After your grandma recovers, I’ll bring him to see you!”

Listening to Qi You’s crazy confession, Fang Yan stopped the warning she was about to give about the guy.

Ren Yuan had debuted for more than two years and had always taken the extreme route. His educational qualifications were fake, he beat people up, and he tricked girls into getting drunk late at night… However, he had a sunny face. As long as there was no substantial evidence, it was impossible to associate him with a bad hooligan.

However, Fang Yan had a vague feeling that those revelations were true.

A warm and dry touch came from Fang Yan’s fingertips, and she was overjoyed.

“Grandma! You’re awake?”

Jiang Lan: “What kind of thing can make my Xiao Yan risk her life?”

Fang Yan hesitated. “Who knows? That crazy woman, Qi You, is spouting nonsense.”

Jiang Lan didn’t ask further. She just stroked Fang Yan’s hand and said, “Xiao Yan, remember this. No one needs you to risk your life to like them. Your life is the most important, understand?”

“Okay,” Fang Yan agreed.

“By the way, Grandma, the doctor said that since you’re awake, it means that you can resume your diet. What do you want to eat? Soy milk or egg custard?”

“Anything is fine.” Jiang Lan said, “Director Cheng said it, right? I heard a few sentences, but I was in a daze and couldn’t hear clearly.”

Fang Yan found it strange, but she nodded in agreement.

She had not seen Cheng Zheng since she finished the noodles. It was said that the hospital had considered that Cheng Zheng was too tired and had transferred him away for two days. Could it be that he was on duty again after the outpatient consultation?

For the next three days, Cheng Zheng still did not appear.

Fang Yan learned how to take care of Jiang Lan’s food and daily life, so she didn’t have time to let her imagination run wild. However, she wasn’t tired either. The new nurse, Aunt Shen, had helped a lot. Now that she thought about it, she was recommended by Liu Min as well.

Early in the morning, Fang Yan went downstairs to buy breakfast as usual. Coincidentally, Liu Min came over with a small cart.

Fang Yan quickened her pace and wanted to ask Liu Min what she wanted to eat.

Liu Min: “Looking for Director Cheng? He’ll be a little late. You’re going to buy breakfast, right? Director Cheng likes to eat the bean buns at the entrance of the hospital.”

With that, Liu Min turned a corner and disappeared with the car.

Fang Yan: “…”

Fang Yan knew that the shop was owned by an old couple. The two of them looked after the shop while taking care of their granddaughter, who had just entered primary school. Their livelihoods were barely maintained. However, the couple was kind and their culinary skills were good. The price of breakfast had not increased for more than ten years, so both the hospital’s medical staff and the patient’s family were willing to take care of the business.

When Fang Yan arrived, there were not many people in the shop.

Fang Yan bought egg custard, steamed dumplings, and three bean buns. She hesitated beside the soy milk bucket. The freshly cooked soy milk was steaming. It was very tempting in the cold morning.

Fang Yan estimated Cheng Zheng’s appetite and prepared to give him a portion of soy milk and fried dough sticks.

At this moment, a girl’s cries came from the inside. “Grandma! Daddy hit me…”

Fang Yan was stunned at first, but then she found it funny.

The little girl in this house was very naughty. A few days ago, when Fang Yan came to buy food, she stared at the patterns on Fang Yan’s nails and tore off the rhinestones on them. Afraid that Fang Yan would be angry, she stuffed candy into Fang Yan’s pocket.

The mother-in-law seemed to be used to her granddaughter’s playfulness. She looked at Fang Yan in embarrassment and did not stop what she was doing. She nimbly filled a bag with soy milk. Afraid that Fang Yan would be scalded, she packed it in another bag.

The cries came from afar.

Soon, the girl stumbled out. Her hair was messy, and there was a huge wound on her temple. Blood was dripping down.

The girl’s face was pale from crying. “Mommy is still inside…”
