The moment the ward door opened, Jiang Li subconsciously took a few steps back to avoid being bumped into by the person coming out.
A man limped out of the room. He had short, neat hair, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. His features were regular and three - dimensional, giving off an air of arrogance.
He was tall and good - looking. He was wearing a hospital gown, with a plaster cast on his leg and two crutches under his elbows. His handsome face looked extremely impatient.
As he hopped forward on his crutches, he turned back and shouted, "Don't follow me. I'm in a bad mood!"
Jiang Li couldn't dodge in time and bumped into him.
"Damn..."
Sheng Jingxi almost fell after the collision. He was about to curse, but when he saw Jiang Li, who was also in a hospital gown and having trouble moving, the words got stuck in his throat.
"Umm... Did I bump into you?" His tone was much more serious than before, and his attitude was sincere. "I didn't do it on purpose. I wasn't looking at the way."
The man in front of him had fair skin, extremely handsome and superior features, and bright, energetic eyes. He was a handsome guy with a strong sense of youth.
Just now, he was scolding in the room. Jiang Li thought he was some cynical young master. Unexpectedly, he was quite polite, and his overbearing air had weakened a bit.
"It's okay." Jiang Li said calmly, then sidestepped Sheng Jingxi and returned to her own ward.
Only then did the people in the room just now dare to come up. They said carefully, "Young Master Jingxi, you'd better go back and lie down. Chairman Sheng will come to see you later. If he sees you like this, he'll get angry again."
Sheng Jingxi didn't take this reminder seriously at all. He just walked outside and said, "So what if he comes? Whoever wants to stay in this lousy hospital can stay. I won't!"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Sheng Shuocheng walking towards him, followed by his ever - present assistant, Zhang Yi.
Speak of the devil, and he appears.
Sheng Jingxi leaned against the wall and greeted lazily, "Dad, you came quite..."
Before he could finish his words, Sheng Shuocheng walked straight ahead without even glancing at him.
Sheng Jingxi:?
Was he invisible?
He looked down at himself in surprise, then at Sheng Shuocheng who passed by him. His pupils widened in shock.
Zhang Yi answered his question, "Young Master, Chairman Sheng is here to see Miss Jiang. He'll come to see you later."
Sheng Jingxi felt even more confused. Who on earth could be more important than his own son?
He was really curious, so he followed on his crutches.
In Jiang Li's ward.
Jiang Li was a bit flattered that Sheng Shuocheng came to visit her in person.
"Are you feeling better?" Sheng Shuocheng stood at the foot of the bed. Jing Yi quickly brought over a chair for him to sit down and talk to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li nodded and smiled sweetly, "Much better. Thank you for your concern, Uncle Sheng."
"The call you made. The old lady knew something was wrong with you as soon as she heard your voice."
Although Jiang Li didn't know how Cheng Yingchun could tell.
"Your big accident really scared the old lady."
Sheng Shuocheng looked at her, and there was no emotion in his tone, "When you're out usually, pay more attention to protecting yourself."
Jiang Li could tell that this was concern for her.
"It's my fault. I made Granny worried." Jiang Li felt a softness in her heart, as if surrounded by a warm current. "I'll definitely be more careful in the future so that no one will worry about me again."
Sheng Shuocheng's eyebrows relaxed. "Tell the old lady this in person after you're discharged from the hospital. She's been saying she wants to come to the hospital to see you."
"Absolutely not!" Jiang Li refused immediately.
She was covered in injuries now. If the old lady saw her like this, she would probably cry out of heartache.
"Don't worry. I didn't agree to her." Sheng Shuocheng said with a smile. Knowing that Jiang Li was always delicate and considerate, just like he was worried, "So I came on her behalf. I was just afraid that she would get too emotional if she saw you like this."
Just then, the ward door was pushed open again.
Sheng Shuocheng turned around. The moment he saw Sheng Jingxi, his kind expression sank, and his tone became stern. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see who this is, making you, an old man, ignore your own son and come here to see some Miss Jiang..."
Sheng Jingxi was stunned for a moment when he saw the woman on the bed.
Wasn't this the patient he almost bumped into at the ward door just now?
Jiang Li was also surprised.
It turned out that the handsome guy who was making a ruckus in the ward just now was actually Sheng Shuocheng's well - known son.
What a coincidence.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Li." Jiang Li greeted first.
"Sheng Jingxi. We met at the door just now."
This was how they got to know each other.
Sheng Jingxi looked at Jiang Li suspiciously, then at Sheng Shuocheng. A strange guess came to his mind. The moment he thought of it, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He closed his eyes, leaned over to Sheng Shuocheng, and whispered, "Dad, I don't object to your late - in - life romance, but this girl is too young. She could be my sister..."
"Rascal!" Sheng Shuocheng shouted in a low voice. "She's your grandmother's apprentice. What are you thinking about?"
"Sorry." Sheng Jingxi immediately stuck out his tongue and shrugged indifferently. "I thought you were going to start a new relationship in your fifties."
"You unfilial son." Sheng Shuocheng snorted. Then he turned to Jiang Li and explained gently, "This is my son who has been racing cars abroad all year round. He's always so informal. You don't have to mind him."
Jiang Li nodded. She thought she could tell without him saying.
"Hey... Dad, you're being unfair!" Sheng Jingxi was dissatisfied. "Even if she's Grandma's apprentice, you don't have to be so partial, do you?"
"You had a car accident as soon as you returned to China. I haven't even had the time to scold you." Sheng Shuocheng's eyebrows were cold. "You're almost thirty. Can you be more steady?"
Sheng Jingxi felt guilty after being scolded and didn't talk back. He just complained to himself, "Who knew that domestic racing competitions were so childish? I hadn't even stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car in front slowed down..."
"If you say another word, I'll break your other leg!" Sheng Shuocheng couldn't bear it anymore. "You're not allowed to drive until you realize your mistake. I'll have someone confiscate your driver's license!"
At this, Sheng Jingxi completely wilted, looking like an eggplant beaten by frost.
After scolding Sheng Jingxi, Sheng Shuocheng turned to Jiang Li and apologized, "Sorry for making you laugh."
...
After coming out of the ward, Sheng Shuocheng warned Sheng Jingxi not to bother Jiang Li and let her rest well.
But Sheng Jingxi was not an easy - going person. He had been rebellious since childhood and didn't take his father's words seriously at all.
The more Sheng Shuocheng said so, the more curious Sheng Jingxi was about Jiang Li.
How curious was he?
He even had his ward changed to the one next to Jiang Li's overnight.
