The Mad Young Master Falls Asleep Every Night to My Fragrance - Chapter 46

The secretary looked bewildered and quickly chased after him: “Mr. He, what happened?”

“Xixi is injured, the meeting is postponed. Secretary Zhang, please make arrangements so I can return to China as soon as possible.”

Returning to China?

Secretary Zhang looked bewildered: “Xi Xi?”

Who is Xixi?

Assistant He patted his chest: “Xixi is President He’s wife.”

“ah?”

Mr. He got married?

When did this happen?

How could he not know?!

–

An hour later, the operating room doors opened, and Jiang Youxi was wheeled out.

Everyone rushed forward, asking what was going on.

“The little girl has bruises on her abdomen, swelling and bleeding on her head, a mild concussion, and abrasions elsewhere, but they are not serious. Fortunately, she received timely treatment and there was no intracranial hemorrhage,” the doctor said calmly. “Her condition is currently stable, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she should wake up tomorrow.”

“Okay, thank you, doctor. You’ve worked hard.”

“You’re welcome. I’ll get back to work now. Please feel free to call us if you need anything.”

After the doctor left, Jiang Youxi was moved to a regular ward.

Everyone stayed in the ward until late at night before getting up to leave.

Jiang Xu refused to leave and insisted on staying by Jiang Youxi’s bedside.

The two elders of the Jiang family knew that he was worried about Jiang Youxi, so they let him be.

Stepping out of the ward, Aunt Jiang saw that all three of her children had sustained injuries of varying degrees and was very worried: “What exactly happened?”

Jiang Shaoyang recounted the events of the previous day in detail: “As soon as I returned to the repair shop, I saw the two of them being bullied by a man. Xixi was injured and lying on the ground. I got angry immediately and rushed over to beat that man up.”

Despite his skill, Jiang Shaoyang was outnumbered by the five opponents and suffered a cut on his face.

Fortunately, he only suffered minor injuries, nothing serious, and has already received treatment.

The most serious case right now is Jiang Youxi.

She was bleeding from her forehead and was kicked several times by Fang Qi; she is currently unconscious.

Uncle Jiang noticed Jiang Shuli’s unusual behavior: “Lili, do you know that man?”

Jiang Shuli looked at the sleeping girl on the hospital bed and nodded: “His name is Fang Qi, and he is the county magistrate’s son. Some time ago, he wanted to pursue me, but I didn’t want to, so he kept harassing me. He was repeatedly rejected by me, and when he got angry, he tried to force himself on me at the repair shop.”

Jiang Shuli went to the repair shop to see Jiang Shaoyang today, but Jiang Shaoyang happened to be out and not in the shop.

She had intended to wait until Jiang Shaoyang returned to the shop before discussing it, but she didn’t expect to run into Fang Qi.

Fang Qi tried to force her to go out with him again. Jiang Shuli refused, and in a fit of anger, Fang Qi forced himself on her.

Aunt Jiang looked distressed: “Lili, how long has he been harassing you? Why didn’t you tell us?”

“I don’t want you to worry.”

“But we’re even more worried about you like this!”

Jiang Shuli lowered her head, filled with remorse: “I’m sorry.”

Uncle Jiang’s expression turned grave: “The county magistrate you’re talking about, is it Magistrate Fang Yunfeng?”

“yes.”

Jiang Shuli had also heard about Fang Qi’s bad reputation.

I heard that Fang Qi likes to play around with women, especially those from ordinary families who are beautiful. He prefers them because such women wouldn’t dare to utter a sound even if he forced them.

Even if the woman wants to seek justice for herself, because she has no money or background, she can’t fight against the powerful. All her reports, lawsuits, and grievances will be ignored and receive no response.

The Fang family is wealthy and powerful, and Fang Yunfeng is the local county magistrate, wielding absolute authority. No one dares to provoke them.

Fang Qi also abused his family’s power and influence, causing numerous deaths.

In addition, Fang Qi had his uncle in the local police station, so every time he caused a death, he was able to escape danger. The most serious time was only a week in detention before he was released.

Luyang Township is a small place, but corruption is extremely serious in small places. Such things happen from time to time. The local people are like fish on a chopping board, killed or released at will. Fang Qi, a playboy, is not the only one in Luyang Township.

Jiang Shuli knew Fang Qi’s character well and was aware of his family’s power. She originally wanted to handle the situation alone, not wanting to implicate her family and drag them all down with her.

But her repeated refusals only emboldened Fang Qi, leading to the current situation.

Uncle Jiang’s expression was furious: “There’s the country and the law above us. So what if he’s the county magistrate? Does that give him the right to bully ordinary people?!”

Uncle Jiang was furious and immediately went back to collect evidence and write a letter of complaint to report the matter to higher authorities.

–

The next day.

Jiang Youxi woke up just as dawn was breaking.

When Jiang Xu saw that she had woken up, he immediately went to call the doctor.

The doctor came to examine her.

“Her condition has stabilized, and she just needs to rest and recuperate.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xu breathed a sigh of relief: “Mom, you scared me to death!”

Jiang Youxi had just woken up and was feeling weak and powerless.

Knowing he was worried about her, Jiang Youxi raised her hand and gently rubbed his head: “Okay, I’m fine, don’t cry.”

“I didn’t cry!”

Feeling embarrassed at being exposed, the boy quickly turned his back, his tuft of hair on his head exuding arrogance.

“You said you didn’t cry, but the blanket… is soaked with your tears.”

Jiang Xu was about to say something when he saw Zhang Chao and was taken aback: “Uncle Zhang Chao, what brings you here?”

“I heard this morning that Xixi was injured and hospitalized, so I was very worried,” Zhang Chao walked over, looking concerned. “Xixi, are you alright?”

Jiang Youxi shook her head: “Thank you, Zhang Chao.”

Every time Jiang Youxi sincerely thanked him, Zhang Chao would feel very shy.

But now he appeared very calm, looking at her intently, without any embarrassment, his expression unusually solemn.

He stared at her silently for a long while.

Just as Jiang Youxi asked him what was wrong, he suddenly said, “Jiang Xu, take good care of Xixi. I’m leaving now,” and turned to leave.

Jiang Youxi was stunned.

Jiang Xu looked bewildered: “Mom, what happened to Uncle Zhang Chao?”

“I don’t know either.” Jiang Youxi sensed that something was wrong with Zhang Chao. “Jiang Xu, go and check on him.”

“oh.”

Upon learning that she had woken up, Jiang Shuli rushed over quickly.

Jiang Youxi then realized that none of them were there and asked Jiang Shuli, “Are you all alright?”

“fine.”

“Don’t tell my uncle and aunt about this. I don’t want them to worry.”

“Xixi, they all know.”

Jiang Youxi was taken aback.

Jiang Shuli held her hand: “Xixi, it’s my fault for dragging you into this. I’m sorry.”

Seeing her full of self-blame, Jiang Youxi comforted her: “Cousin, don’t blame yourself. You used to protect me, but now that I’m grown up, it’s my turn to protect you.”

Jiang Shuli felt even more heartache, rubbing her head, her eyes unconsciously reddening.

“Xi Xi”.

Jiang Youxi was taken aback and looked up at the doorway.

“He Zhuo?”

He Zhuo strode over, looked at the white gauze on her forehead, gently stroked her forehead with his fingers, and asked in a deep voice with deep worry and heartache, “Does it hurt?”

Jiang Youxi shook her head: “I’m still a little dizzy, but much better than yesterday. Weren’t you on a business trip abroad? Why did you suddenly come back?”

“Jiang Xu called me last night.”

London is more than 10,000 kilometers away, and it would take at least one night to get back.

Jiang Youxi was somewhat surprised to see his bloodshot eyes.

He didn’t sleep a wink last night and rushed back overnight?

Touching the lump on the back of her head, the man’s forehead veins bulged, and his eyes turned cold and menacing, as if he wanted to kill her.

Jiang Youxi sensed his anger and instantly realized what was happening.

“Don’t worry, I…”

He Zhuo withdrew his hand: “You get some rest, I’m going out for a bit.”

She suddenly grabbed his hand: “Where are you going?”

“I’ll buy you breakfast.” He gently patted her head reassuringly. “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

You will be fine.

Even if something happens.

I’ll smooth everything over for you too.

He Zhuo instructed Jiang Shuli to take good care of her, then turned and left the ward.

But less than ten minutes after he left, Jiang Xu rushed back: “Mom, something bad has happened! Dad went to find Fang Qi!”
