Chapter 532: Hospital Encounter

This day, Shen Jingjing brought the things Shen Ci had bought for Wang Zhaoning and Xixi to the hospital.

"Auntie Shen, you're here."

Seeing Shen Jingjing, Wang Zhaoning quickly sat up. Beside her, Yan Mu also subconsciously stood up, looking puzzled at the elegant woman in front of her.

"Mom, this is Auntie Shen, A-Ci's mother," Wang Zhaoning introduced quickly: "Auntie Shen, this is my mother-in-law."

"Oh my, so you're A-Ci's mother. Hello, hello!" Yan Mu walked up enthusiastically, wanting to reach out, but discovered Shen Jingjing was carrying many things, so she said: "Why bring so many things? Just put them on the floor; they're quite heavy."

Shen Jingjing smiled and said: "Hello, Big Sister. I've been busy at the company these past few days and haven't had time to come over and see you. A-Ci just started school, and she bought these things and asked me to bring them over when I had a chance."

"I have everything here; I don't lack anything. Don't let A-Ci spend money randomly," Wang Zhaoning said helplessly.

Yan Mu also echoed: "Exactly, exactly. A-Ci is such a thoughtful child."

Shen Jingjing placed the things under the windowsill nearby before walking over to ask: "How are you, Zhaoning? Recovering well?"

"Quite well. You don't need to worry. My mom is here accompanying me all day, and Duanduan also found a hospital caregiver."

"That's good."

"You're busy at the company; you really don't need to come over specifically. If there's anything, I'll take the initiative to tell A-Ci. I feel bad that I can't rely on A-Ci and still trouble you," Wang Zhaoning said.

"That's right. Our Xizi really has found a good younger sister; she does everything so well," Yan Mu interjected, and the next sentence was actually directed at Shen Jingjing: "Little sister, I want to adopt A-Ci as my goddaughter. What do you think? That way we can be even closer."

Once this was said, Wang Zhaoning's eyes widened instantly, because her mother-in-law hadn't mentioned this to her at all, and now she was actually bringing it up directly in front of Shen Jingjing.

A spur-of-the-moment idea?

This was too abrupt!

Fortunately, Shen Jingjing's personality was very calm. Hearing Yan Mu's words, she didn't have a very obvious exaggerated reaction, maintaining a faint smile on her face as she replied: "Big Sister, I can't make the decision on this matter. A-Ci's affairs all depend on her own wishes."

"You're her mother and you can't make decisions for your daughter? I was specifically thinking of mentioning this to you when I saw you," Yan Mu said with an expression of disbelief.

Shen Jingjing nodded elegantly: "That's right. I respect the child's wishes more. If she agrees, I won't oppose it."

"Is that so? Then I'll ask her next time. She values the brother-sister relationship with Xizi so much; she surely won't disagree, right?"

Shen Jingjing smiled without a word, because she didn't know whether A-Ci would agree either.

After accompanying Wang Zhaoning for a while, Shen Jingjing didn't stay long.

Once she left, Wang Zhaoning looked at Yan Mu and said: "Mom, why didn't you tell me in advance that you wanted to adopt A-Ci as your goddaughter?"

Yan Mu didn't think much of it: "What's there to talk about? She's Xizi's god-younger sister, so isn't it normal for me to adopt her as my goddaughter? I really like this little girl A-Ci; she's kind, smart, pretty, and reliable, and she's taken care of you for so long. It's obvious she treats Xizi and you as family."

Wang Zhaoning pursed her lips speechlessly, but thinking about how the doctor had told her not to have too much emotional fluctuation, she took a few deep breaths and forced her heart rate to calm down.

Forget it, she would inform A-Ci about this later.

Shen Jingjing went straight from the inpatient department to the hospital's underground garage. She originally had nothing to do today and wanted to stay at the hospital to accompany Zhaoning more, but her mother-in-law was truly noisy and clamorous. She endured it for an hour and felt a buzzing in her head.

Coming out of the elevator, she went back the way she came to find her car, but unexpectedly, upon raising her head, she saw a black Bentley with its lights off, and a familiar figure stepping out of it.

Shen Jingjing looked carefully before confirming she hadn't seen wrong, so she subconsciously called out to the other person: "Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Yuanliang locked his car and turned his head upon hearing the voice. He was also clearly stunned when he saw Shen Jingjing: "Ms. Shen?"

Thinking that this was a hospital, Jiang Yuanliang's expression tightened, and he instinctively expressed concern: "Why are you at the hospital? Are you sick?"

As he spoke, he had already walked up to Shen Jingjing.

Shen Jingjing shook her head, explaining that she was here to visit a friend, and then asked Jiang Yuanliang why he was here.

Jiang Yuanliang smiled and said: "I have a bit of a fever, so I came over to get an IV drip."

"A fever?" Because they were in the underground parking garage, the lighting made it impossible to tell if Jiang Yuanliang's face was red or white, but to come to the hospital for an IV drip, he must have been burning quite high.

Shen Jingjing subconsciously looked left and right: "Are you alone?"

Jiang Yuanliang nodded: "A small problem, no need to make a big fuss."

"How can that be? It's more convenient to have someone to take care of you. I've been to this hospital a few times and I'm very familiar with it. I'll accompany you up." As she spoke, Shen Jingjing didn't give Jiang Yuanliang a chance to refuse, looking directly at the road sign not far away: "The elevator for the outpatient lobby is over there; you parked too far away."

Jiang Yuanliang looked at her, but his heart didn't have even a second of thought about wanting to refuse her.

So he said: "Thank you."

Shen Jingjing said: "It's a coincidence; I have nothing to do today."

Going up to the outpatient lobby, Shen Jingjing led Jiang Yuanliang all the way to register, queue, see the doctor, and get medicine, finally going to the infusion room for the IV drip.

Jiang Yuanliang followed behind Shen Jingjing from beginning to end.

It wasn't until Jiang Yuanliang started the IV drip that Shen Jingjing had time to send a message to Ni Man.

"Sister Jingjing, I'm out of town. Sorry to trouble you to take care of him. Thank you, thank you."

Shen Jingjing looked at the message speechlessly, unable to determine what kind of state the two were in now.

"If you have something to do, go ahead and get busy. I'm fine," Jiang Yuanliang said, seeing her sighing at her phone.

Shen Jingjing raised her eyes and said softly: "You're burning to nearly 40 degrees and still saying you're fine? You're pretending to be fine on the surface."

As she spoke, she pulled over a stool and sat down, looking at Jiang Yuanliang: "There's no need to make yourself look indestructible. Everyone becomes fragile when they're unwell; it's not something shameful."

Shen Jingjing spoke earnestly, but Jiang Yuanliang looked at her and smiled, then nodded: "I know."

"Have you eaten?"

"No, but I don't want to eat right now."

"How can you not eat? You need to pay more attention to your diet when you're sick." Shen Jingjing made a move to stand up: "There are places to buy food outside the hospital. I'll go take a look."

"Don't go," Jiang Yuanliang called out to Shen Jingjing and said earnestly: "Didn't you advise me to eat less outside food last time?"

Shen Jingjing looked at him, remembering it quite clearly, which meant he had taken it to heart, which was a good thing.

"How about... after I finish the IV drip, you go to my place and cook me something delicious?" Jiang Yuanliang said hesitantly. ===== CHAPTER 533 =====
