The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 228 - 130: Does Zuo Yuqing Know You Came to See Me?
Chapter 228: Chapter 130: Does Zuo Yuqing Know You Came to See Me?
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingchen’s expression had darkened to the extent that it seemed like he could drip water, his thin lips lightly pressed together, his jaw even more tightly clenched, showing that his mood was very bad at the moment.
In his mind surfaced the image of Song Qiao’s charming and pleasant small face, and instantly, a dense and peculiar feeling began to rise within his heart.
Song Qiao was hospitalized... Judging by the tone of Lu An’an’s voice, it seemed to be inextricably related to him.
It was as though something had been overlooked by him.
Knowing that Lu Jingchen would be coming up, so Lu An’an did not immediately go to find Song Qiao’s attending doctor, but was waiting not far from the elevator.
When Qin Zhe finished his phone call and came out, he saw Lu An’an pacing there. He hesitated for a moment but still spoke into the phone, "Mom, I’m really okay, it’s the agent who has been guiding me that had an accident, I’ll go and ask... Yes, if they agree, and if you want to come, then later I can let An Ke talk to her mom, because her mom also wants to come, it would be better for both of you to come together... Alright, mom, I know what you want to say, can we talk about it when I come back? I still have things to deal with now, so I’m hanging up... Yeah, mom, take care of your health and don’t keep yourself so busy that you can’t stop..."
When Qin Zhe hung up the phone, Lu An’an had already noticed his presence and smiled at him.
Qin Zhe felt somewhat embarrassed and after thinking for a while, still walked directly towards Lu An’an. He prepared himself to say something before finally speaking up, "An’an, my mom and An Ke’s mom know that Qiaoqiao is hospitalized, and they want to come visit her, I don’t know if that would be okay."
Before An Ke and he knew each other, their mothers were strangers, but later they discovered they lived in the same residential complex, which led to their mothers chatting and becoming good friends.
An Ke is someone who can’t keep things secret. Half an hour ago, when An Ke’s mother called to ask if she would come home tonight, An Ke told her that Song Qiao was injured and hospitalized. Because Song Qiao had helped them a lot when she first started taking care of them, both their mothers were very grateful to Song Qiao.
Thus, upon hearing that Song Qiao was injured and hospitalized, both elderly women thought to prepare some soup to bring to the hospital for her.
That was the only thing they could do.
When Lu An’an heard Qin Zhe’s words, she first paused, then smiled and said, "Of course they can come, Qiaoqiao has always been very easy-going. She would be happy to see them. But this really is a bother for the two seniors."
Qin Zhe hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It’s no bother at all, my mom would definitely be very happy if she knew she could come visit Qiaoqiao. She has always wanted to thank Qiaoqiao in person for taking care of our family."
Lu An’an had long been aware of Qin Zhe and An Ke’s situation, although initially she didn’t know much, but Song Qiao later told her some things, and she knew that Song Qiao had always been helping Qin Zhe and An Ke.
With a smile, Lu An’an said, "Qiaoqiao is a good agent, you’re lucky to be under her. She is a kind-hearted girl, and she’s always put her all into teaching and helping you guys."
Qin Zhe was taken aback, then nodded his head immediately, the handsome face carrying a relieved smile, "I know!"
...
By the time that Lu Jingchen arrived, Qin Zhe had already gone back to the ward to keep watch over Song Qiao with An Ke, so only Lu An’an was standing there in the hallway.
The man radiated a chilling aura, his lips tightly pressed showing his bad mood.
Lu An’an was in a bad mood as well, having not yet met Lu Jingchen. She was pondering how to reprimand him when she saw her big brother, though it felt somewhat blasphemous and, more importantly, life-threatening. But the fear disappeared instantly at the thought that Song Qiao was still unconscious in the hospital ward due to her hiccupping incident.
However, seeing the cold and stern-faced Lu Jingchen now, emitting a gloomy aura, the momentum she had built up to scold him quickly dissipated, and she stepped forward and called out somewhat fearfully, "Brother."
When she came closer and clearly saw the man’s somber face and the bleak, cold eyes, Lu An’an immediately understood that her big brother was truly angry.
So terrifying...
The man stopped in his tracks, his gaze indifferently falling on Lu An’an, and his deep voice carried a hint of indifference, "How is she?"
Lu An’an let out a sigh, slightly adjusted her emotions, and decided not to hide anything, "She hasn’t woken up yet. I was just about to wait for you to go to her attending doctor together to understand the situation. Brother, what exactly is going on between you and Qiaoqiao, and... Zuo Yuqing?"
Why did both An Ke and Qin Zhe say that Song Qiao’s injury and even her coma were because of Zuo Yuqing and her big brother?
Lu Jingchen didn’t speak, his jaw clenched tightly, his eyes clouded and unclear.
Slightly frowning, Lu An’an cautiously looked at her own brother and did not continue to ask further.
Perhaps it was because Lu Jingchen’s marriage to Song Qiao was already an open secret in An City, many people knew about Song Qiao. Moreover, at the time when they were at Hua Yi, it was their company’s executives who personally made a phone call to give special attention to Song Qiao’s status. Therefore, the doctor treating Song Qiao was a professor-level figure at this hospital and quite famous in the medical community.
When Lu An’an and Lu Jingchen entered the doctor’s office, the doctor was looking at the X-ray films he had just received. Hearing the door open, he immediately turned his head. Upon seeing Lu Jingchen, he stood up to greet them with a flattering smile on his face, "Mr. Lu, Miss Lu, you’ve arrived. This is..."
Lu An’an explained, "We are here to find out about Song Qiao’s condition."
The doctor immediately understood and hurriedly asked Lu Jingchen and Lu An’an to sit down on the sofa before he took out the X-rays of Song Qiao and said, "Mrs. Lu’s waist injury isn’t very serious. There’s a bruise from the impact and it may hurt quite a bit these next few days, but other than that there are no issues. She’ll be fine after two or three weeks of rest. Especially during the recovery period, she must not engage in any strenuous exercise..."
...
When Song Qiao woke up, it was already dusk.
Even before opening her eyes, she could smell the familiar scent of antiseptic and immediately understood that she must be in the hospital.
She slightly opened her eyes, was stung by the brightness, closed them again, and after a while, she slowly adjusted to see the white ceiling, the white walls, and the IV bag above her. Just as she tried to move, pain shot through her so sharply that she couldn’t help but inhale sharply, letting out a whimper unconsciously.
"Qiaoqiao, are you awake?" Lu An’an, who had been dozing off, immediately opened her eyes upon hearing Song Qiao’s whimper. She saw Song Qiao grimacing in pain on the hospital bed, apparently having touched a sore spot, and quickly leaned over.
One of Song Qiao’s hands was covering her painfully aching waist, and she was nearly in tears as she looked up at Lu An’an, saying, "An’an sister, I won’t be paralyzed in my lower half, will I?"
Lu An’an stiffened at Song Qiao’s words, then immediately spat several times to the side, jabbing Song Qiao’s head and said through clenched teeth, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could you be paralyzed? What are you thinking?"
Song Qiao pursed her lips, covering her waist, looking as if she wanted to cry but couldn’t, and said pitifully, "Then why do I only feel severe pain in my waist, but no sensation in my feet?"
She just felt that her waist was in extreme pain, so much so that she almost wished she didn’t have a waist at all, but she couldn’t feel her feet at all.
Hearing Song Qiao’s words, Lu An’an was shocked and quickly stood up and went to the bedside to lift Song Qiao’s blanket, "You really can’t feel anything?"
With that, she pinched Song Qiao’s leg straight away!
Song Qiao, "...Ouch, An’an sister, stop pinching me!" Damn, that hurts, how hard did she pinch?
Wait, wait, she could actually feel the pain?
A smile immediately appeared on Song Qiao’s face, but because of the severe pain in her waist, her smile was even uglier than crying, "An’an sister, turns out I still have my legs!"
Lu An’an, "...Song Qiao, you know it’s a waist injury, not a broken leg."
Song Qiao, covering her waist with a somewhat embarrassed smile, winced because of the pain, "I just woke up and was too nervous."
At this moment, the door to the ward was opened, and both Song Qiao and Lu An’an looked over, only to see Lu Jingchen, who was wearing a white shirt without a coat, entering.
Seeing Lu Jingchen, Song Qiao was momentarily stunned. Then, the events before her loss of consciousness came flooding back into her mind, and she immediately averted her gaze, sporting a cold expression on her face and refusing to look at him.
"Qiaoqiao, you’re awake?" When Lu Jingchen saw that Song Qiao was awake, he quickly walked over to the bedside, his tone full of concern and gentleness, "Do you feel pain anywhere? Hm?"
Song Qiao didn’t respond, clearly showing she didn’t want to deal with Lu Jingchen.
Seeing the atmosphere between the two, Lu An’an’s mind clicked into action. She stood up, looked at Song Qiao with a smile, and said, "Qiaoqiao, since you’re awake, I’ll go out and buy you some dinner."
Song Qiao’s lips moved, and in the end, she nodded, "Okay!"
As soon as Lu An’an left the ward, the room was left with only Lu Jingchen and Song Qiao. The man sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out to move the hair in front of her to behind her ear, and softly called out to her, "Qiaoqiao..."
Song Qiao immediately turned her head away, avoiding his touch, with a faint smile on her face, she asked laughingly, "Why are you here? Didn’t Zuo Yuqing also get hurt? Don’t you need to take care of her? Does she know you’ve come to see me?"
