Chapter 174: Take Good Care of Xi Wan

Fu Sijue's solemn appearance made Lu Xiwán's heart race; she took two sips of water and quickly let Fu Sijue go back.

She was genuinely a little frightened by this subtle emotion, so afterward she couldn't act carefree; Fu Sijue filled her thoughts.

She forcefully shook off those unrealistic thoughts from her mind, and Lu Xiwán lightly tapped her leg.

A sudden clamor came from outside the door, interrupting Lu Xiwán's private thinking time.

The ward door was gently knocked a few times, and the anxious person outside immediately opened the door and came in.

A group of people rushed in, completely ignoring Fu Sijue sitting at the table, heading straight for Lu Xiwán and surrounding her.

Ji You frowned at Lu Xiwán, "It's only been how long since we last saw each other, and you've already dragged yourself into the hospital?"

"And you still won't let us help you," Dan Jiamu said with a look of disdain.

They already knew then that the matter was far from simple; now it's blown up so much.

Chi Yue, wearing gold‑rimmed glasses, looked the most refined among them; he said nothing and placed the fruit he was holding on the bedside table.

"I'll deal with those people at the Police Station for you," a cold glint flashed in Chi Yue's eyes.

Those people dared to assault someone on the street; they're of vile character, and he certainly won't let them off easily.

"How could it be that quick? I appreciate your goodwill," Lu Xiwán glanced sideways at Fu Sijue's unwell complexion, and felt a sudden pang.

"I think the most important thing now is to settle the online public opinion, what exactly is being said over in Luozhou, and haven't we uncovered the background of that girl's family yet?"

Ji You has ways to investigate; it all depends on Lu Xiwán's wishes.

"We should be able to get the information from Luozhou right away; you all needn't be anxious."

Now that she's already in the hospital, she doesn't believe those people would still be so persistent.

"Who is this…" Ji You, upon seeing Fu Sijue sitting nearby, looked at Lu Xiwán with puzzlement.

He still didn't know when Lu Xiwán became involved with Fu Sijue.

"You all know I returned to the country to treat a patient, and President Fu is that patient's father," Lu Xiwán succinctly explained her connection to Fu Sijue.

But in Fu Sijue's eyes it seemed more like she was distancing herself.

"With him around, you're still injured like this?"

Ji You twisted his brow, clearly showing some displeasure toward Fu Sijue.

"It has nothing to do with him; you can't watch me twenty‑four hours a day, can you? It was my own carelessness."

Lu Xiwán's original intention was merely not to involve innocent people, but Fu Sijue misinterpreted it as her protecting herself.

The earlier unpleasantness vanished in an instant, and Fu Sijue also came over.

"After you're discharged, I'll arrange two bodyguards to protect Xi Wan, so today's incident won't happen again."

Fu Sijue said confidently; Lu Xiwán widened her eyes in disbelief and stared at Fu Sijue.

Ji You and the other two clearly were very pleased with Fu Sijue's plan, so they didn't trouble him further.

"I'll still get in touch with the Haicheng media; if they keep rambling like this, you won't be able to handle it either."

Unscrupulous media only breed more people who love to stir up trouble, Dan Jiamu said as he reached for the phone, and before Lu Xiwán could even organize herself, the ward door was opened.

A white‑haired elderly man walked in.

Lu Xiwán recognized the newcomer at a glance, lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed to receive him.

"No need, how could I have a patient like you help me?" Pei Liangji said cheerfully as he walked to the bedside.
