Chapter 231

Ash raised an eyebrow, looked at Xu Xu Siyi, and said coldly, "Shut up! If you scream again, I'll kill you right now!"

Instantly, Xu Xu Siyi was so frightened she became silent as a cicada in winter, her face pale, her body trembling.

She felt the thick murderous aura emanating from Ash and was so scared she nearly wet her pants.

"Remember, it's best to stay obediently in the hotel from now on and not run around."

Ash left the private room after dropping those words.

A moment later, Huai Te and the other thugs were carried in. Huai Te's chest was collapsed, his neck twisted and deformed; he was completely dead. The other thugs hadn't fared much better; they had all been crippled.

………

Jiangcheng First People's Hospital, Orthopedics Department.

Su Su Xiran was taking a nap on the companion bed when the ward door opened and Ash walked in.

He looked at Su Su Xiran on the hospital bed, who was still frowning in her sleep, and felt a wave of guilt; because of him, Su Su Xiran had been worried to the extreme.

"Ash, why are you here?"

Su Su Xiran opened her eyes and looked at Ash, who had walked into the ward, with some confusion.

She had called Ash last night, but his phone showed it was powered off, so she guessed he couldn't come to visit because he had classes at school or some other urgent matter.

Seeing Ash suddenly appear, she was happy at first, then immediately became worried.

"I came to see you. Are you alright?" Ash asked softly.

"I'm fine. Xiaojun is out of the danger period now, but she still needs to be observed in the hospital for two or three days. She can only be discharged once the bruising on her body fades."

A gentle smile appeared on Su Su Xiran's face, though she also felt very guilty toward Xiaojun in her heart.

This whole matter was her fault.

If she hadn't insisted on taking leave to come back, Xiaojun wouldn't have encountered such a thing.

She knew that Ash must be blaming himself as well.

"As long as you're fine. By the way, where is your father? He should have come along, right?"

Ash walked over to a chair and sat down, took out a pack of cigarettes, handed one to Su Su Xiran, and asked at the same time.

Su Su Xiran took the cigarette, pulled one out for Ash, lit her own, took a puff, slowly exhaled a beautiful smoke ring, and said, "He is at the company."

"Oh."

Ash nodded and didn't say anything more, while Su Su Xiran fell silent, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Seeing Su Su Xiran looking dejected, Ash couldn't help but laugh: "Why do you have that expression? Didn't you say your father is very capable?"

Su Su Xiran gave a bitter smile and said, "You don't understand."

Ash shrugged and said, "What's there not to understand? Although I don't know your father, judging by what happened just now, your father must be a business genius. He isn't an ordinary wealthy man, but a business tycoon. Your family at Cloud Mist Villa probably has assets of no less than ten billion, right? As the chairman of such a large group, can't he even handle his daughter getting hurt, to the point where he has to rush to the hospital to see her?"

"You're right."

Su Su Xiran nodded. Her father indeed had many businesses, but this incident had caused such a huge stir that it even involved government departments; her father couldn't stay in Jiangcheng forever, or it would have a bad influence.

"Then why are you still unhappy? Is it because I ruined your father's company?" Ash laughed.

"No!"

Su Su Xiran shook her head and frowned, "I was thinking, since Xiaojun was hit and injured, Xiaojun's father must be very angry. I'm afraid he will vent his anger on you."

"Vent his anger on me? Heh, you underestimate your husband. If he really dares to vent his anger on me, then I will destroy him!"

Ash curled his lips, looking completely unconcerned.

"Uh..." Su Su Xiran was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

But thinking about it carefully, Ash really didn't seem like the type to fear trouble, and he basically accomplished everything he said he would.

Ash looked out the window. It was the height of summer, the scorching sun was in the sky, and he suddenly laughed:

"Su Xiran, do you want to go out for a walk and soak up some sun?

On such a hot day, if you don't go out to get some fresh air, your body won't hold up. You're considered a pregnant woman now, so you need to pay attention to your health."

"Aren't you afraid I'll encounter some danger if I go out?"

Su Su Xiran blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at Ash with a touch of coquettishness.

Ash said, "I trust you."

"Alright! Thank you, Uncle!"

Su Su Xiran was very happy to hear this. Although she trusted Ash's power, it was her first time in Jiangcheng, so she was inevitably a bit uneasy.

After changing her clothes, she walked out of the hospital with Ash.

Su Su Xiran was wearing a pale pink denim skirt and a white shirt, which showed off her exquisite figure perfectly. Her long, jet-black hair was draped over her back, and her delicate oval face wore a sweet smile.

She held Ash's arm, looking like a perfect couple, and passersby turned to look at them one after another.

The two strolled along the road for half an hour and finally stopped at Jiangcheng's famous 'Flower Capital'.

In this district, various high-end restaurants and hotels stood in great numbers, and the revolving restaurant on the top floor of one of the office buildings was one of the most luxurious restaurants in Jiangcheng.

Ash pulled Su Su Xiran inside, ordered a steak, and ordered a bottle of red wine worth a thousand yuan. The two ate slowly, enjoying their pleasant afternoon life.
