Chapter 125: Han Yangting Has Had an Accident

Bai Shuruo couldn't help but take a sip of her lemon tea, then continued: "Their company has very high requirements for hiring, but Meng Ze, you are a very capable person. I think you going there is absolutely no problem, but then again, I don't work in HR, so whether you can get in or not still depends on the HR department."

Meng Ze squinted his eyes at her: "I haven't seen Supervisor Bai for a while, and you've certainly become much more tactful. It seems your husband's company really trains people well; if I don't go and get some training myself, it really won't do."

"It is indeed quite a training ground, so I hope you can become my colleague soon," Bai Shuruo said honestly.

……

Saturday.

Bai Shuruo and Bai Shunan brought gifts back to the old family home for a meal.

Bai Shuhua was there too. I don't know if it was because he had passed his rebellious phase, but Bai Shuhua now looked much more mature and was even helping Lin Wanfen bustle about.

Lin Wanfen had prepared many dishes; she even bought four or five pounds of crayfish, which she usually couldn't bear to buy.

During the meal, the focus was still on discussing when to go to Beishi.

Lin Wanfen said: "I really want to go see what Ruoruo's Castle looks like. Shunan, when will you be free?"

Bai Shunan said: "I'm not free recently, maybe not until the end of the year. We have distributors in Beishi, and I want to go inspect them, so I'll stop by Ruoruo's place while I'm there."

"There's no rush," Lin Wanfen said. "Wait until Shuhua is on break before going. Shuhua, do you want to go?"

Bai Shuhua said: "Of course I want to go. We have to see if the second sister's in-laws are treating her well, right?"

Bai Shuruo asked: "Then if they aren't treating me well, are you going to stand up for me?"

"That goes without saying," Bai Shuhua said.

Bai Shuruo ruffled his hair and said: "Second sister didn't dote on you for nothing."

Just as they were eating, Bai Shuruo's phone vibrated. She took a look; it was a call from Ali.

Since it was a call from Ali, it must have something to do with Han Yangting, so she hurriedly pressed answer.

"Young Mistress..." Ali hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping.

Ever since she officially settled in Beishi, Ali had always used this joking tone to address her, and after a while, she had gotten used to it.

Bai Shuruo couldn't help but ask: "Ali, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Mr. Han... he's had an accident."

"An accident? What kind of accident?" Bai Shuruo couldn't imagine what kind of accident could happen to a person like Han Yangting.

"He was on his way to the company today, a car accident."

Bai Shuruo went completely stiff, and her phone slid to the floor.

Bai Shunan, who was by her side, saw that something was wrong and hurriedly picked up her phone, then continued the call: "I am Ruoruo's sister. May I ask what happened on your end?"

Ali told the truth: "A car accident. Mr. Han has already been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. His condition is unstable right now, and the doctor says... he might... die at any moment."

……

Ling Feng, Bai Shunan, and others accompanied Bai Shuruo back to Beishi.

As soon as they got off the plane, they headed straight for the hospital.

Summer had already arrived, and it had been raining in Beishi for the past few days. The hospital corridors seemed damp and wet, but how could it rain inside a hospital? These must be the tears of the family members.

At the entrance to the ICU, a nurse was already waiting, but Bai Shuruo hesitated for a long time and didn't have the courage to go in.

She couldn't accept it. She had just started to like someone, so why did he have an accident?

She thought of her father.

Back then, she had watched with her own eyes as her father was wheeled in, and when he came back out, he could no longer move, and he couldn't even speak properly. How cruel was that?

Would Han Yangting be like that too?

"Ms. Bai, are you not going in? If you don't go in now, visiting hours will be over," the nurse reminded her.

Bai Shuruo hurriedly said: "I'm going in now."

She followed the nurse in a daze, listening to the beeping of various instruments inside and the smell of disinfectant permeating the air.

Afterward, she saw Han Yangting lying motionless on the hospital bed.

He had just come out of the operating room and had been sent to the ICU. His body was covered in tubes, his head was wrapped in bandages, and he was covered by a thin white quilt. His collar was open, and his chest was connected to an ECG monitor.

Seeing him like this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth, and tears streamed down her face.

A few days ago, he was full of life, able to lift her up with one hand, walking with a brisk stride, cracking all sorts of jokes with her in bed, and exuding an aura of absolute authority when outside. Now, he was covered in tubes, lifeless, as if he could leave at any moment.

She held back her tears, not letting herself sob out loud, then walked up to him and took his hand.

She took a deep breath and then said: "Brother Han, I'm back... I am Bai Shuruo, your Ruoruo. You don't have to be afraid; you will definitely get better. When you get better, I'll cook for you..."

As she spoke, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore and began to cry.

What she said next was meant to provoke him: "Brother Han, no, husband, you must get better. If you don't get better, then I'll remarry, and I'll have ten children with another man..."

The ECG monitor remained steady, with little fluctuation.

"Husband, if you don't wake up, then I'll use my status as your wife to put your company under my own name, and I won't leave you a single cent."

The ECG still showed no real fluctuation.

Bai Shuruo said again: "I don't want any of those things to happen. I want you to get better and keep juicing fruit for me and cooking for me. Otherwise, I'll eat spicy strips every day, and I won't care if my stomach hurts."

Just as she was sobbing uncontrollably, the nurse came over.

"Ms. Bai, visiting time is up. You need to leave now."

Bai Shuruo was still holding Han Yangting's hand.

"Brother Han, why didn't you tell me at the beginning that you liked me? You made me keep doubting you, wasting so much time for nothing. If you had told me at the beginning, I would have accepted you long ago, and it wouldn't have taken until now for me to fall in love with you. You are already very important in my heart."

She cried until she was almost collapsing on the floor.

"Ms. Bai, visiting time is over. Please leave now."

Bai Shuruo was practically carried out.

Once outside, Bai Shunan and Ling Feng had arrived as well.

The two of them had just been asking the doctor about Han Yangting's condition. The doctor said the situation was not optimistic; they had done everything they could to save him, and whether he could wake up would depend on his own will.

"Ruoruo, don't be anxious yet. We went and asked the doctor, and the doctor said Brother Han will definitely be able to wake up. He is young and will be able to recover very soon," Bai Shunan said while supporting Bai Shuruo.

Ling Feng glanced at Bai Shunan, and Bai Shunan gave him a look, signaling him not to tell the truth.

Bai Shuruo leaned on Bai Shunan's shoulder and cried, her mind a complete blank.

"Ruoruo, after Brother Han had his accident, his grandfather fell ill, and Mother also fainted once, so you must be strong now and keep an eye on his company for Brother Han. Otherwise, when he wakes up and finds that no one is handling the company's affairs, he will be unhappy."

Only then did Bai Shuruo remember Han Weimin and Ye Caiyue; it took her a good while to calm her emotions, and then she wiped away her tears and asked, "How are Grandfather and my mother-in-law now?"
