Given Lu Bozhou's condition, taking a bath is out of the question.

Song Xu probably knew his character, so he came over specifically to emphasize this matter.

I can't take a bath, I can only wipe my body down.

Jiang Mian turned around and left the ward.

Watching her leave, Song Xu turned to Lu Bozhou and asked, "Did you bully her again?"

"How can I see it?"

“I noticed her face was flushed,” Song Xu said.

"Can't it be shyness?" Lu Bozhou propped himself up and sat up.

Song Xu came up to help him up, "Come on, all you do is bully people, and you think you can make people feel embarrassed? You'd better watch yourself."

"It's much better now," Lu Bozhou replied casually, assuming Song Xu was referring to his injuries.

"I didn't mention your injury." Song Xu gestured with his chin toward the door.

"Take it easy with Jiang Mian. With your personality, it's not easy to find someone suitable. Besides, she's so good to Xiao Shitou."

Lu Bozhou remained silent.

Jiang Mian returned shortly afterward, but Song Xu was no longer in the ward.

She was carrying a plastic bag with the names of the shops inside the hospital printed on it.

Lu Bozhou glanced at the bag in her hand, but couldn't see what was inside.

"Why are you up?" Jiang Mian brought a basin of water out of the bathroom.

He pointed to the chair in front of him, "Come and sit down."

Lu Bozhou glanced at her and walked over.

He glanced down at the bag in her hand. "What did you buy?"

"I bought a big box of cotton pads to wipe the bloodstains out of your hair."

"Can't I just wash my hair?" Lu Bozhou frowned. "My head isn't injured."

"Song Xu said you've lost a lot of blood, so you shouldn't wash your hair yet, lest you catch a cold."

"It's not like you're in postpartum confinement."

"Just think of it as postpartum confinement. Song Xu said you lost more than 300 milliliters of blood from your injury, which is about the same as the blood loss during a normal delivery."

As soon as Jiang Mian said this, she felt the man in front of her, who had previously seemed quite honest, lose his composure.

It suddenly lifted up.

A pair of long, deep eyes stared at her with a sharp gaze.

Jiang Mian pursed her lips and remained silent. She unwrapped a cotton pad and soaked it in warm water in a basin.

One by one, the half-dry sheets were used to wrap clumps of his hair, which were stained with congealed blood.

Very meticulous and very clean.

When Jiang Mian was wiping Lu Bozhou's body, she finally saw the bloodstains and other wounds on his body.

There were also many abrasions on his arms and back.

"How can there still be so many injuries!" Jiang Mian's eyes widened.

Lu Bozhou didn't seem to care, saying, "It was just an accidental scratch."

But besides these, there are also some old scars that look quite gruesome.

These things never existed before. I really don't know what he's been through these past few years.

The woman stood behind him, and Lu Bozhou couldn't see her expression.

I only heard two very soft sniffling sounds.

The woman's voice seemed to have a faint nasal tone.

"Let's be careful. Mr. Lu has a large family and a big business, and his child is still young. He should cherish his life, otherwise it would be troublesome if something really happened to him."

Lu Bozhou scoffed, "If anything were to happen to you, you'd become the richest widow in Luo City overnight."

Jiang Mian: "..."

She unconsciously used a little force in her hand, and the towel brushed against a scratch.

The man frowned.

No one spoke again, and the silence lasted for a moment.

“I don’t care about this injury, but they have to trade projects for it, which are their lifeline.”

Jiang Mian could tell that the man was referring to the Lu family when he said "they".

She paused for a moment, then realized that Lu Bozhou seemed to be answering her initial question—why didn't you dodge?

He had no intention of hiding at all.

Because he doesn't care.

Because in his eyes, such an injury was... just a minor one?

They dried Lu Bozhou's hair and body.

Jiang Mian went to the cafeteria to see what the food was like.

If that doesn't work, we can have Song Xun send some ingredients over.

Lu Bozhou's hospital room was fully equipped with kitchenware, which was very convenient.

As I carried the packed food to the ward, I saw the unexpected guests.

Yan Ke stared coldly at her, "Bo Zhou is injured like this, and you're just letting him eat in the cafeteria?!"

Jiang Mian replied calmly, "Otherwise, should we feed him dragon meat?"

"You!" Yan Ke turned to Lu Bozhou and said, "You saw that, didn't you! That's her attitude! Even if you married some random woman, you shouldn't treat your mother like this, right?"

Lu Bozhou sat in the chair, his face expressionless.

Qiu Fenglan came out of the small kitchen next door, holding an exquisite lunch box in her hands.

"Auntie, please don't be angry. Be careful not to upset yourself. You came to the hospital because you were so angry that you had an irregular heartbeat."

Qiu Fenglan placed the lunchbox in front of Lu Bozhou.

"Anyway, I brought the nutritious meal to Bozhou. It's from the star-rated restaurant at Lanou International Hotel, so it's guaranteed to be good."

Yan Ke was very satisfied with Qiu Fenglan's performance.

She turned and glared fiercely at Jiang Mian.

"I heard you got arrested for driving without a license? You're young, but you're incredibly reckless! How could you do something so dangerous?!"

"Bo Zhou was in your car at the time, wasn't he? Do you know how important Bo Zhou's safety is? How dare you...!"

Jiang Mian was so annoyed with Yan Ke that she couldn't be bothered to serve him.

She pursed her lips coldly, "Since you think his safety is so important, why don't you advise him to avoid being attacked?"

Upon hearing this, the man, who had been expressionless, frowned and stared at her with displeasure.

Jiang Mian, who was already quite shriveled with lice, continued, "With his skills, getting injured like this is basically like giving himself away for nothing."

Yan Ke was taken aback. "What... what do you mean by that?"

Jiang Mian didn't have the patience to explain to her, "You'll figure it out yourself."

She glanced at Lu Bozhou, "Since someone is taking care of you, I'll be leaving now."

"Jiang Mian!" Lu Bozhou's voice carried a dangerous warning.

Jiang Mian knew he would definitely side with his mother, just like in her past life, no matter what grievances she suffered at the hands of Yan Ke and Lu Hong.

He never said a word more than necessary. It was as if he wasn't interested in those things at all, as long as they didn't bother him.

But now I'm so rebellious that I'm bothering him with all these things.

Jiang Mian wasn't surprised at all by the man's attitude.

Hearing Lu Bozhou's words, Yan Ke perked up.

"See? I didn't say a single wrong thing about her! This is how she acts in front of you! What kind of attitude can she have behind your back? She made me so angry that I had to go to the hospital!"

"So don't blame your mother for not supporting you! If you're with this woman, given her behavior, I absolutely will not agree! And I absolutely will not stand idly by!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bozhou's pupils narrowed slightly.

Jiang Mian didn't want to stay there any longer, so she turned around and left.

The man's cold voice came from behind, "Jiang Mian, stand still."

Jiang Mian bit her lip and continued walking, but she had only taken one step.

I heard Lu Bozhou chuckle softly, but it was cold.

"Do you think things are settled and you can rest easy, that I can't control you anymore?"
