QT: The Rescue Of The Miserable Bigshots-Chapter 222 - 8.9

"Jiamian, you’re back!"

When Jiang Jiamian finally limped back into the ward, his mother, who had been sitting anxiously the entire time, immediately stood up and rushed to support him. "Jiamian, tell me, what happened? Why are you getting involved with Fu Yanchen? Did he do something to you just now? What did you two talk about?"

"Don’t worry, mom, I’m fine."

Jiang Jiamian declined her support and limped over to the bed, where he sat down slowly. "Did you talk with Dad already? Don’t do anything to cause trouble for Tang Tang in the future."

Mother Jiang sighed softly, "Your father didn’t answer the phone."

Jiang Jiamian nodded, "It doesn’t matter. If it’s already been done, then so be it. I think I’ve found another possibility now, one that might stop us from ever reaching the ending we were supposed to have."

In the original plot, the protagonist gong and shou went through many hardships before they could be together. It was inevitable that the original owner, the vicious cannon fodder, would play the fool and make all the wrong moves.

But more importantly, it was Fu Yanchen’s disability that gave Fu Xiaoyuan his chance.

Now, if those two conditions no longer exist, Jiang Jiamian didn’t believe for a second that the protagonists could still spin some dramatic rich-family romance like in the original plot.

Mother Jiang was taken aback by his words, "Jiamian, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Jiamian blinked, snapping back to reality, "Oh, I mean, I found a new job. If I do well, I can earn five million. I’ll start after I leave the hospital in a few days."

Mother Jiang: "..."

She was at a loss for a long time, "You don’t even want to learn about our Jiang family business, so why are you looking for work elsewhere? What’s gotten into you today, kid? You’re acting strange."

Jiang Jiamian raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly, "I’m serious."

He just hoped his mother wouldn’t try to stop him.

If she did... well, sorry, but he’d have no choice but to rebel.

"Tang Tang! Tang Tang! Are you okay?"

Fu Xiaoyuan had barely stopped driving on his way to Tang Tang’s company after receiving the call. He had been wanting to bring Tang Tang over to his own company for a while, but Tang Tang insisted he didn’t want to be seen as having a backdoor connection, so he stayed put, always keeping his distance.

Now, hearing that Mr. Wu at his company had deliberately bullied Tang Tang, Fu Xiaoyuan was certain it was the Jiang family’s doing!

Don’t think Fu Xiaoyuan didn’t know, the Wu and Jiang families had been cooperating for over ten years!

"I’m fine, Brother Fu. Why are you here?"

Tang Tang’s eyes were slightly red, and his face looked a little pale.

He had thought he could easily avoid Jiang Jiamian’s traps this time around, even turn the tables using the prophet in his new life.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiamian was indeed outmaneuvered, but the Jiang family behind him was like a dog whose tail had been stepped on, fiercely jumping up and biting him without mercy.

This was something he hadn’t experienced in his previous life.

It seemed he would have to be much more cautious this time.

It was best to seize the opportunity and make sure Jiang Jiamian completely lost any chance to compete against him.

Losing the advantage of this marriage contract would mean the entire Jiang family would be blacklisted by the Fu family.

After all, Jiang Jiamian had schemed against him in the previous life. Maybe this time, he really shouldn’t be so soft-hearted and should return the favor to Jiang Jiamian!

Let him experience the terror of Fu Xiaoyuan, this madman!

"How could I not come? Tang Tang, listen to me, don’t be so stubborn. You won’t stay here anymore. Come with me to the Fu family. I’ll arrange a good position for you, and I promise you’ll never suffer any unfair treatment again!"

Seeing Tang Tang’s lonely expression and red-rimmed eyes, Fu Xiaoyuan felt a pang of distress. Without caring that they were in someone else’s company, he immediately pulled and hugged Tang Tang in his arms.

In the corridor behind them, a few passing employees whispered quietly.

After all, it was no secret that Fu Xiaoyuan was engaged to the young master of the Jiang family.

No wonder the young master Jiang was upset, his fiance was openly flirting with someone else, practically trampling on his dignity.

Tsk.

Fu Xiaoyuan had long ignored everything because of his heartache. But Tang Tang was sharp, he quickly noticed the strange looks from the people around them.

He gently pushed Fu Xiaoyuan away and said, "I’m fine. I only called you to tell you about this. I was just in a bad mood and needed someone to talk to."

Fu Xiaoyuan frowned and grasped his hand tightly, "I don’t care. This time, you have to listen to me! I won’t let you stay here and suffer anymore!"

In the hospital.

"Since I didn’t stop my dad from making trouble for the protagonist, according to the original plot, he should’ve already been taken in by Fu Xiaoyuan by now, probably acting reserved but secretly thrilled. After that, he’ll probably start scheming on how to turn the tables on me, just like in his previous life he was forced to marry Fu Yanchen."

Jiang Jiamian sat at the edge of the hospital bed, legs swinging lazily as he peeled a banana and took a bite, looking quite pleased with himself.

"So, is the host planning to go with the flow? Take this chance to marry Fu Yanchen?"

The system seemed to already know his intentions.

Jiang Jiamian raised an eyebrow, "Well, not just that. I’m going to help things along! Who knows, maybe the protagonist will be so grateful that he’ll want to thank me for it."

System: "..."

The system doesn’t believe it.

It was well aware that whenever its host had something shady planned, he’d always raise his eyebrows in that mischievous way.

"Incredible, truly incredible!"

Jiang Jiamian had just tossed a banana peel into the trash when Doctor Fang, dressed in his white coat, pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he came to a stop, he adjusted his glasses and fixed his eyes on Jiang Jiamian like he was trying to burn a hole through him. "It’s unbelievable. At this point, I’m almost convinced you really have some kind of secret remedy."

Jiang Jiamian’s eyes were slightly squinted in a playful way that hovered between serious and teasing, "Who knows?"

Doctor Fang handed over the MRI report in his hand, "You’re cleared for discharge. I originally expected your rehabilitation treatment to take at least half a month, but it’s only been a bit over a week, and your recovery is already impressive."

"Great!"

Jiang Jiamian snatched the report and nearly jumped off the bed, "I’m really tired of staying in this shitty place with white surroundings!"

It’s comparable to the system space.

Doctor Fang: "..."

It hurts his heart.

He have been in this shitty place for many years.

And he is going to stay here for decades more.

"Don’t jump around!" Doctor Fang couldn’t help but remind him, feeling a little heartbroken. "You’re just allowed to be discharged, it doesn’t mean your bone injury has fully healed. You still need to be careful. Also..." He suddenly lowered his voice and leaned in closer to Jiang Jiamian, "Be honest with me, is there really some miracle cure you’re hiding? If you tell me, I’ll pay you too. You name the price."

Jiang Jiamian turned his head and smiled, "Doctor Fang, you’re joking now. You have to believe in science. I’ve been under your nose every day, how could you not see anything?"

"That’s true." Doctor Fang looked visibly disappointed.

"I’m leaving!"

Jiang Jiamian walked straight out of the ward, and in the blink of an eye, only the lingering echo of his phone call remained behind, "Hello? I’m getting discharged. Are you coming to pick me up or not?"

Doctor Fang blinked, thinking to himself... He must be calling Mr. or Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang Jiamian’s father is often away because of company matters, and his mother had to leave briefly after dropping off breakfast.

"I don’t care if you’re in a wheelchair or not, you have to come pick me up in person! Remember, you promised to follow my instructions!"

Jiang Jiamian’s voice rang out from outside the door again.

Doctor Fang: "..."

It seems like something is wrong...
