A solution? What solution could the spoiled Jiang heiress possibly have?
Â
“But I’m just a good-for-nothing playgirl, I don’t—”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu suddenly realized: “Wait a minute, when did I ever say I’d take you in? Chu Han, you tricked me!”
Â
The white moonlight curved her lips slightly, her brows lifting as cold sweat covered her forehead.
Â
“I didn’t.”
Â
The car pulled into the hospital, and the woman in professional attire reminded them: “We’re here. Hurry and get an emergency number.”
Â
Chu Han was helped out of the car by Jiang Ciqiu and asked the woman still in the driver’s seat, “You’re letting her take me in?”
Â
“That’s right.”
Â
“You trust her?”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu protested loudly, “What’s that supposed to mean? Is it beneath you to have this young lady escort you inside?”
Â
Chu Han replied, “If it weren’t for you—”
Â
“Alright, alright! I get it, you don’t trust me!” Jiang Ciqiu knocked on the car door. “Get out, I’ll park the car.”
Â
The woman in the driver’s seat smiled slightly. “Never mind, you two seem to be getting along just fine.”
Â
She started the engine. “I won’t be long. Miss Jiang, I appreciate your help.”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu and Chu Han: “…”
Â
Wait, where exactly did she get the idea they were getting along?
Â
“Whatever, let’s just go in. Your friend is even more unreliable than I am.”
Â
Chu Han remained silent, allowing herself to be supported.
Â
The pain from the fracture was constant, but she hadn’t made a sound the entire way.
Â
Even so, the cold sweat on her forehead and her pale face couldn’t hide the agony.
Â
In that regard, Jiang Ciqiu had to admire her.
Â
She just couldn’t understand how this person later turned into that venomous character who only targeted the female lead.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu first registered at the emergency orthopedics department, then rented a wheelchair to push Chu Han in for examination.
Â
She ran up and down handling all the procedures for Chu Han.
Â
When had she ever dealt with hospital formalities before? So, at every step, she had to ask—asking people around her how to find places and what to do.
Â
Fortunately, it wasn’t too complicated, or she would have called Secretary Bai to handle it.
Â
If not for not wanting her family—and by extension, Jiang Wanhe—to find out, she would have called Secretary Bai from the start.
Â
If she had called Secretary Bai immediately, she wouldn’t have been tricked by Chu Han either.
Â
When had the young Miss Jiang ever experienced anything like this?
Â
The people she usually encountered were either sarcastic or obsequious, and she never put up with any of it.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu lived by the principle of not offending others unless offended first. If someone’s mouth was foul, she’d retaliate fiercely without caring about consequences.
Â
At first, people often took her for an easy target, but gradually, no one dared to provoke her anymore.
Â
Jiang Wanhe’s protagonist aura was too strong. Since childhood, outsiders had always sided with him, though no one knew why they harbored such malice toward Jiang Ciqiu.
Â
But now she wasn’t afraid anymore—not that she should have been in the first place.
Â
After years of being spoiled and doing as she pleased, the young Miss Jiang had been outmaneuvered for the first time by a woman she’d only met three times.
Â
A saying suddenly came to mind—first time strangers, second time acquaintances.
Â
Where there’s a first, there’s a second.
Â
If you’re tricked once, it’ll happen again.
Â
A chill ran down her spine, and Jiang Ciqiu rubbed her arms.
Â
“Are you cold?”
Â
The woman who had parked the car finally arrived.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu said exasperatedly, “Did you get lost in the parking lot? What took you so long?”
Â
The woman thought to herself, this person really has the temper of a spoiled young lady, not bothering to hide it at all. Who treats someone they’ve just met like this?
Â
Besides, as a friend of Chu Han, shouldn’t she feel at least a little guilty toward her too?
Â
But she’s kind of cute—just complaining without actually throwing a tantrum.
Â
“I’m just a lowly office worker. I had to call my superior for sudden leave approval and deal with some urgent documents before I could rush back.”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu reluctantly accepted this explanation.
Â
Then she asked, “How did you find your way here?”
Â
“I just asked around for the orthopedics department along the way.”
Â
“How should I address you?”
Â
The woman smiled slightly, adjusting her glasses. “Miss Jiang finally asks for my name.”
Â
She extended a hand: “Jian Shu, ‘Jian’ as in simple, ‘Shu’ as in book.”
Â
Jian Shu?!
Â
That minor supporting character who later helps Chu Han but gets killed off early?!
Â
Oh no, why am I running into these people so soon?
Â
“My name is—”
Â
“I know, Jiang Ciqiu. There’s only one young lady in the Jiang family.”
Â
Her gaze was too perceptive, different from Chu Han’s—Jian Shu’s eyes carried a gentler warmth.
Â
But Jiang Ciqiu had always believed soft knives were more dangerous than hard ones.
Â
And those eyes looked too much like her father’s—that same smiling tiger expression from business negotiations.
Â
Staring too long always made Jiang Ciqiu hallucinate her daddy.
Â
So, she averted her eyes after one glance.
Â
“Where’s Chu Han?”
Â
Jiang Ciqiu pointed inside: “Getting her cast.”
Â
Jian Shu sat beside her, pulling out her phone to reply to messages.
Â
After sitting awhile, Jiang Ciqiu stood up: “I’ll go pay the bills. You wait here.”
Â
“Leaving already?” Jian Shu asked, still wanting to ask the young miss some questions.
Â
“I’ll take full responsibility. It’s not like I’ll run away. What’s there to ask?”
Â
“Though that’s not what I meant… fine, I understand.”
Â
Jian Shu replied, thinking this young miss really had quite the temper.
Â
She’d heard rumors before, but experiencing it firsthand was different.
Â
Jiang Ciqiu spun her phone restlessly in the elevator, brows tightly furrowed.
Â
Finally reaching the ground floor, she stepped out and made a call.
Â
“Hello, Daddy~ I want to discuss something with you…”
Â
–
Â
After the cast was applied, Jian Shu went to wheel her out. The doctor said to return for a checkup in six weeks, then listed some precautions.
Â
Having noted these, Jian Shu wheeled her outside to wait for Jiang Ciqiu’s return.
Â
“You really don’t have her number? Why didn’t you save it earlier?”
Â
“Would you believe me if I said I forgot?”
Â
Jian Shu: “No.”
Â
Chu Han smiled slightly: “She’ll come back. Why should I worry?”
Â
“Don’t be so confident. For someone like Miss Jiang to shake off people like us would be easy—just one check would do.”
Â
She paused, then asked: “But aren’t you in desperate need of money right now? Compared to living with that genuine young miss who’s all spoiled temper, I’d think you’d take the money. I don’t quite understand your move here.”
Â
“Who says I need money?”
Â
“Didn’t you say your family went bankrupt—”
Â
Jian Shu finally caught the key point—her family went bankrupt.
Â
But that didn’t mean she personally was broke.
Â
“Ah… so when you told her you were penniless in the car, that was a lie too?”
Â
“Not at all,” Chu Han looked up at her, “I really am penniless.”
Â
“Chu Han, we’ve known each other for so many years. Do you still need to beat around the bush with your bestie?”
Â
“I’m not beating around the bush. I came to talk to you about this very matter today—who knew this would happen.”
Â
Jian Shu gave her a disdainful look, seeing right through her: “Oh please, ‘this would happen’—don’t think I can’t tell you did this on purpose.”
