Chapter 207 Pain and Envy, Bitterness and Insecurity!
Twenty minutes later, Li Ziheng was sent to the hospital.
But as luck would have it, the hospital he was sent to was exactly the one where Jiang Wan was staying.
After some treatment by the doctor, Li Ziheng had a few stitches on the back of his hand and his palm, and they were wrapped in thick bandages.
Looking at his hand wrapped up like a zongzi, Li Ziheng muttered helplessly, "Great, now I probably won't be able to cook for a while!"
"..."
Beside him, the Sharp-tongued Woman heard Li Ziheng's muttering and couldn't help but look surprised.
Li Ziheng looked at the Sharp-tongued Woman and smiled, "By the way, does this count as a work injury?"
"No!"
The Sharp-tongued Woman's answer left Li Ziheng quite speechless.
But a second later, the Sharp-tongued Woman added, "But you got hurt saving me, so you don't have to pay me back for the medical bills."
"At least you still have a conscience!"
Hearing this, Li Ziheng felt a little better in his heart.
But thinking of Pang Biao, whom he had stabbed three times, Li Ziheng started to worry again.
He looked at the Sharp-tongued Woman with some concern and asked tentatively, "I stabbed Pang Biao because I had no choice. That doesn't count as intentional injury, right?"
The Sharp-tongued Woman's attitude was much better than before. She said gently, "He attacked first, so you can barely call it self-defense. You won't be in trouble."
"That's good!"
Hearing this, Li Ziheng felt much more at ease.
If he were charged with intentional injury for this, he might even be sentenced.
When he was bored before, he had read the criminal law and vaguely remembered that for the crime of intentional injury, if the circumstances were light, the sentence was less than three years.
If the circumstances were serious and caused severe injury, it was three to ten years.
If it caused death, it seemed to start at ten years, life imprisonment, or even the death penalty.
After walking out of the doctor's office, Li Ziheng prepared to visit Song Yiyi on the way.
Seeing the Sharp-tongued Woman following him, he turned his head and said, "I'm fine now. You don't need to follow me anymore."
"Okay. If you run into trouble, you can contact me."
The Sharp-tongued Woman nodded, paused, and then added, "By the way, my name is Leng Lingxue. You can just call me Lingxue from now on."
After saying that, Leng Lingxue turned around and walked toward the elevator without looking back.
Watching Leng Lingxue's retreating figure, Li Ziheng couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "Her surname is Leng, and her name even has the character 'Xue' in it. No wonder her personality is so cold."
Perhaps because she hadn't gone far yet, Leng Lingxue happened to hear Li Ziheng's quiet muttering.
She stopped, turned her head, and glared fiercely at Li Ziheng, saying angrily, "What does my personality have to do with you?"
"Uh—"
He spoke ill of someone behind their back and got caught right in the act.
Even though he was snapped at to his face, Li Ziheng was in the wrong and felt too awkward to retort.
Seeing Li Ziheng deflated, Leng Lingxue somehow felt a little amused.
"Li Ziheng, we will have a lot of cooperation in the future. I won't hold a grudge over what happened before. I wish us a happy cooperation!"
"Yeah, happy cooperation!"
Li Ziheng nodded slightly.
After Leng Lingxue left, Li Ziheng went to the inpatient department.
After walking out of the inpatient department's elevator, Li Ziheng took out his phone and sent a message to Song Yiyi.
Not long after, Song Yiyi walked out of Jiang Wan's ward.
Seeing Li Ziheng standing near the elevator from a distance, Song Yiyi's eyes lit up, and she immediately walked over quickly.
"Li Ziheng, did you come specifically to see me?"
Because she saw Li Ziheng, Song Yiyi was in a very good mood.
But when she saw Li Ziheng's left hand wrapped in a thick layer of bandages, her face instantly changed.
She gently lifted Li Ziheng's injured left hand and asked with a look of heartache, "What happened? Are you hurt?"
"It's nothing. I accidentally hurt my hand while cooking. It will be fine in a few days."
Li Ziheng didn't want Song Yiyi to worry, so he told a white lie.
Hearing this, Song Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, but she still asked with concern, "With such a thick bandage, the wound must be deep, right?"
"I guess so!"
Li Ziheng smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.
"Oh you, why are you so careless?"
Song Yiyi was both heartache and helpless. She gently hugged Li Ziheng's waist and pressed her cheek against Li Ziheng's chest.
"Li Ziheng, I am not Jiang Wan. If you don't like cooking, I can learn to cook in the future!"
Li Ziheng felt a warmth in his heart, but he teased verbally, "Never mind. I'm afraid your cooking will be too bad and starve me!"
"You're so annoying!"
Hearing this, Song Yiyi immediately looked up and glared at Li Ziheng in annoyance.
Li Ziheng said gently, "Yiyi, you've been in the hospital for so long. Do you want to go back and rest?"
Song Yiyi shook her head, "No need. Aside from showering being a bit inconvenient, everything else is fine here in the hospital. I'll go back in two days when Jiang Wan's condition stabilizes."
"Your injury hasn't fully healed yet. Don't tire yourself out. If it really doesn't work, I can hire two caregivers."
"Oh come on, I'm not a three-year-old child. I can take care of myself, so just set your mind at ease!"
Song Yiyi smiled and gave Li Ziheng a kiss.
This feeling of being cared about by her boyfriend was simply too blissful.
"Alright then! Contact me if anything happens."
Seeing Song Yiyi's firm attitude, Li Ziheng couldn't say much more.
The two chatted at the elevator entrance for a while until half an hour later, when Li Ziheng prepared to leave.
"Be careful on the way. Send me a message when you get home to let me know you're safe!"
Song Yiyi watched Li Ziheng enter the elevator, hiding a hint of reluctance deep in her eyes.
Song Yiyi was very clingy. If it weren't for Jiang Wan's special situation, she would have really wanted to stick by Li Ziheng's side all the time.
After the elevator doors closed, Song Yiyi turned around to go back to the ward.
But as soon as she turned her head, she saw Jiang Wan standing at the ward entrance from a distance.
Jiang Wan just stood there quietly, as if she couldn't see Song Yiyi, staring with complicated eyes at the elevator doors that had already closed.
In fact, as early as one minute after Song Yiyi left the ward, Jiang Wan had already been standing there, silently watching Li Ziheng and Song Yiyi.
Watching Li Ziheng and Song Yiyi hug, watching Li Ziheng care for Song Yiyi, watching Li Ziheng and Song Yiyi talk and laugh.
For a whole half hour, Jiang Wan felt immense torment in her heart. There was pain, envy, and regret, but even more bitterness and insecurity.
How she wished that the person hugging Li Ziheng and talking and laughing with him just now was herself.
But this was ultimately just her unrealistic fantasy!
"Li Ziheng, what exactly should I do to make you fall in love with me again?"
Jiang Wan's eyes stung, and tears silently streamed down.
...
Yun City.
Inside a high-end residential apartment.
Ji Lingyuan sat on the sofa, holding his phone, speaking on the phone with a somewhat cautious tone.
"Boss, following your instructions, I have successfully made Liu Fangting and Jiang Haisheng file for divorce. When will you fulfill the promise you made to me?"
"Don't worry! After they divorce, I will naturally fulfill my promise!"
A young woman's voice came from the phone's earpiece.
Her voice was light and pleasant, but her tone carried an extremely powerful confidence.
