"Let me tell you, those Soup Dumplings on Chenghuang Street are not authentic at all; they're just for tourists. The real deal is the ones in the little alleys!"
"Crab Roe Soup Dumplings, you have to sip the broth first, and once you've finished that, eat the skin together with it. It's incredibly delicious!"
...
Jono used to be a true foodie. Coming from a wealthy family and being pampered by her father, she could have whatever she wanted. She had tasted all the delicacies in the alleys of Qincheng Street!
Now she was sharing her experiences with Xining.
Xining felt like she had discovered a new world, dazzled and delighted!
She kept exclaiming, "Sister Jono, how do you know everything?" and "Sister Jono, this is so good, amazing!"
Of course, if it weren't for the call from the Jin Family, their joyful gathering would have continued for who knows how long.
"Jono, why haven't you gone to the hospital to take care of Ayan after he got hurt? Even though you have your own job now, he's your husband. How can you just stand by when your husband is injured?" Melancholy's voice came through the phone, tinged with reproach.
"Huh?" Jono held her aunt's milk tea in one hand, not quite understanding Melancholy's words. "He got hurt?"
"You didn't know?" Melancholy asked in surprise.
"No, no, no, I know! I'm going to the hospital right now." After being scolded by her mother-in-law, Jono felt unjustly blamed. After all, she hadn't seen Ayan since that night; how did he get hurt?
Seeing Jono's expression after answering the call, Xining knew that their gathering was coming to an end.
“Xining, I’m heading to the hospital now. Let me take you home first!” Jono said, feeling a bit awkward. They had planned to hang out, but then this happened.
“It’s fine! I’ll go with you to the hospital and see that man you went to such lengths to get,” Xining said excitedly, clutching her bubble tea.
It seemed the girl really believed that Jono had gone to great lengths to win Jin Chengyan over!
“Alright, but I don’t even know how he got injured. Who would dare to hurt Jin Chengyan?” While worrying, Jono led Xining to the parking lot.
Once in the car, Xining started fiddling with her phone. After about ten minutes, she gasped!
“Oh my gosh—” Xining looked at her phone and then at Jono, as if she had just been startled.
“What’s wrong?” Jono pulled the car over; this girl’s dramatic reactions were indeed alarming him.
Xining hurriedly put away her phone while telling Jono it was nothing.
When Jono said he was going to drive, Xining grabbed his hand again.
“Jono…”
“Yeah? What is it? Just tell me if something’s up!” Jono sensed that Xining had something on her mind.
“Let me show you…” With that, Xining handed her colorful phone over to Jono. It displayed an image that looked like an old newspaper. As Jono zoomed in on the picture, he felt as if he had been punched in the gut.
Seeing Jono’s face turn pale instantly made Xining regret asking Jasper about Jin Chengyan and Ruan Shengyu. It turned out Jasper had quickly sent her all the information she wanted to know.
The reason for Jin Chengyan's car accident from a couple of days ago was also included.
The last missed calls on Jin Chengyan's phone were all from Ruan Shengyu, and the direction Jin Chengyan was heading was to the venue of that evening's banquet, which was the Prosperity Hotel.
That night, Ruan Shengyu waited for someone who never arrived and called a car from her agency to pick her up.
And that newspaper was six years old...
Jono's expression seemed to return to normal in an instant. She turned off her phone and handed it to Xining. "Didn't I tell you? I went to great lengths to steal Jin Chengyan away. I'm a bad woman, you know!"
After saying that, Jono drove casually.
Yes, she was a bad woman, going to any lengths to take Jin Chengyan away, even though Jin Chengyan had once been willing to risk everything for Ruan Shengyu.
But even so, Jono still managed to take him!
She was a bad woman!
Indeed!
Jono parked the car in the hospital parking lot and rushed toward the VIP Room without even greeting Xining.
At the nurse's station of the VIP Room, Jono took off her sunglasses, presenting herself as a young mistress from a wealthy family, and asked, "Where is Jin Chengyan's hospital room?"
The nurse was indeed startled by Jono's demeanor; this... did not seem like a friendly visit!
"I'm sorry, but we cannot disclose patient information," the nurse finally regained her composure under Jono's imposing presence, adhering to her professional ethics.
"I'm his wife. Am I not entitled to know which ward my husband is in?"
"Oh, it's Mrs. Jin... Jin Shao is in the last room on the right..."
Jono put his sunglasses back on, concealing the emotions in his eyes.
Xining hurriedly followed from behind.
Pushing open the door, Jono saw Jin Chengyan sitting on the sofa, reviewing documents. Even in a hospital gown, his charm was undeniable; the tousled hair added a touch of warmth to his demeanor.
"I heard you were injured, so I came to see you," Jono said, slamming the door shut as he walked in and took a seat in the chair opposite Jin Chengyan.
The chair was slightly higher than the sofa, allowing Jono to look down at Jin Chengyan.
Jin Chengyan set down the documents and leaned back against the sofa. "You came to see me, and there's no fruit or flowers?"
"If you want them, Jin Shao, I can send you a whole truckload of fruit and flowers. Would you like that?"
"Yes!"
"Alright!" With that, Jono pulled out his phone, ready to arrange for a truckload of flowers and fruit for Jin Chengyan.
Jin Chengyan showed no signs of wanting to stop him. Did he think Jono wouldn't actually go through with it?
However, Jono really did that!
A truckload of seasonal fruits and a truckload of tulips! They were immediately sent to the hospital.
Jin Chengyan frowned, "Jono, who upset you?"
At that moment, Jono seemed to explode with anger!
"Weren't you the one who said I didn't bring flowers and fruits to see you? So I brought them over! Now you don't want them? You're really troublesome."
Jin Chengyan didn't dwell on the issue of flowers and fruits. He asked, "Who told you I was injured?"
"Mrs. Jin."
Jin Chengyan furrowed his brow. His mother...
How did she find out?
"You could just tell the Jin family that we had a fight at home, and I kicked you out, and then you had a car accident on the way. Of course, the argument stemmed from my narrow-mindedness, unable to tolerate your flirtation with Ruan Shengyu. Don't you want to see how the Jin family ultimately drove me away and accepted Ruan Shengyu? You could be more straightforward." Jono's face turned red.
Jin Chengyan leaned back on the sofa, his brow slightly furrowed. He was the one who was injured, yet she was the one getting angry?
Or was she worried about him?
"Alright, I'm not that badly hurt, so I didn't tell you. Did my mom say something to you? Don't take it to heart." Although Melancholy scolded him that day at home, as a mother, how could she truly blame her own son?
Realizing he was injured, Jono spoke a few harsh words to him.
Jono was not the type to hide his feelings, and it showed.
"It's nothing, really."
After all, he had nearly lost his entire leg for this person; a minor injury like this was certainly nothing!
Jono looked at Jin Chengyan's leg with deep affection. He loved him so much that he would even risk his own life for him.
Jin Chengyan noticed Jono's gaze lingering on his calf and felt a jolt of surprise. Did Qi Ziluo say something to him? Or perhaps Yan Beiting?
"You should go back. I still have some work to handle. I'll call Mom later," he said, trying to send her away, not wanting her to stay here.
Fine, she would leave!
He had no idea how anxious she felt when she heard about his injury, wishing she could immediately ditch Xining and rush to the hospital.
But when Jono saw what was on Xining's phone, he felt that his concern was truly laughable.
Moreover, that person didn’t need her care at all.
Yet she still came!
"Make sure to rest well." Jono stood up, no longer glancing at Jin Chengyan, and walked out.
But before the door could be fully opened, Jono heard a loud slap from outside, followed by a gasp.
Jono quickly opened the door and saw Xining covering her face, along with Ruan Shengyu, who was wearing sunglasses and a hat.
Of course, Jin Chengyan, who had just come out of the hospital room, also witnessed this scene.
“Ayan!”
“Xining!!”
Jono and Ruan Shengyu spoke simultaneously, and Jono rushed over to Xining. She hoped that Ruan Shengyu hadn’t hit her.
Ruan Shengyu, however, was looking at Jin Chengyan.
But she noticed that Jin Chengyan wasn’t looking at her; instead, he was focused on the girl who had been slapped.
Jin Chengyan frowned, hoping that it wasn’t Ruan Shengyu who had hit Xining.
“Xining, what happened? How did you…” Jono felt that the situation seemed a bit complicated.
Xining covered the left side of her face, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Jono. Suddenly, she burst into tears.
“Jono sis… this woman hit me…” Xining cried like a rain-soaked pear blossom. “My dad and brother have never hit me like this… she actually hit me… boohoo…”
As she spoke, Xining threw herself into Jono’s arms, crying heartbrokenly.
Ruan Shengyu looked at Xining, feeling a sense of bewilderment. However, seeing her in Jono's arms gave him the impression that they were two of a kind.
"Xining, don't cry, please stop crying..." Jono gently patted Xining's back, unsure how to comfort a girl whose emotions were in turmoil.
"I don't care, I don't care... I already told my brother... he's coming right away... I want him to take revenge for me..." Xining felt wronged!
So Jono was at a loss.
Jin Chengyan glanced at Jono and then turned to Ruan Shengyu, asking, "Did you hit her?"
"Yes."
With that, Jin Chengyan's hand came down sharply on Ruan Shengyu's face.
