Jiang Mian bit her lip and remained silent, lest he get even angrier.

Although she didn't think there was anything wrong with saving the child and checking to make sure the child was safe.

"Not staying in the ward, but running around everywhere?" Lu Bozhou said coldly again.

Jiang Mian gently loosened her tightly clenched lips and whispered, "I was worried about Xiao Shitou, so I wanted to go check on him. I didn't expect it to cause trouble. I'm sorry."

Seeing her humble and apologetic demeanor, Jiang Yu and Qin Yanhuai inexplicably thought of Jiang Mian.

She was probably like this in front of him back then, suffering all kinds of grievances.

Before Jiang Yu could speak in anger, Qin Yanhuai spoke first.

"Mr. Lu, don't be so unreasonable. What kind of victim-blaming is this? It was your mother who did the hitting, so why should Jiang Mian apologize?"

Lu Bozhou twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes were cold, and his smile revealed a hint of nonchalance...and evil.

"Hey Qin, stop pointing fingers. So what if you didn't manage to snatch Jiang Mian from me back then?"

Lu Bozhou raised an eyebrow, his wickedness growing even stronger. "Now you're even going after a nanny? You really are something else, not discriminating against anything."

Jiang Mian's heart skipped a beat!

The mockery in those words was undisguised. It wasn't just directed at Qin Yanhuai, but also at the woman who loved him back then, and at himself now.

Qin Yanhuai frowned, not angry at Lu Bozhou's words, but rather somewhat wary.

At this moment, Lu Bozhou was not the same Lu Bozhou who was indifferent to life and death at any time.

Very different.

Something's wrong with him!

Jiang Yu was already angry because of Jiang Mian's apology, and when he heard Lu Bozhou's words, he became even more furious!

"Bullshit! Shut up!" Jiang Yu pounced like a nimble leopard, swinging his fists.

However, the fist failed to land on Lu Bozhou's face or body as desired.

Faced with Jiang Yu's fist, Lu Bozhou's movements even carried a sense of nonchalant composure and nonchalance.

He caught Jiang Yu's fist with one hand and punched Jiang Yu in the waist and abdomen with the other.

As Jiang Yu bent over in pain, Lu Bozhou's knee had already lifted up.

If that knee strike had landed properly, Jiang Yu might have broken two ribs!

Jiang Mian's pupils contracted, and she shouted anxiously, "Stop!"

He thought it would be in vain, but to his surprise, Lu Bozhou's movements stopped because of it.

Without the force of the knee lift, when Jiang Yu bent down and bumped into him, he only coughed a few times and was not seriously injured.

Lu Bozhou turned to look at her, a dark fire seemingly rising in his eyes.

Jiang Mian bit her lip and said quickly, "I know it was my mistake to go and see Xiao Shitou so abruptly, and it caused trouble. President Jiang and President Qin were just passing by. President Lu, please don't..."

"Shut up, Jiang Mian!" Jiang Yu's expression was one of... distressing anger.

Probably when she saw Jiang Mian apologizing to Lu Bozhou like that, even though she hadn't done anything wrong, she still had to apologize to him.

This made Jiang Yu think of something.

Thinking about whether her older sister had done the same thing, to protect the Jiang family, to protect her father's ridiculous business and ridiculous pride.

He kept suppressing his own feelings and apologizing to Lu Bozhou even when he was not wrong.

Lu Bozhou remained unmoved by Jiang Yu's anger, but said to Jiang Mian with a dark look in his eyes, "Since President Qin is so eager to help you..."

His slightly drawn-out tone made Jiang Mian's heart skip a beat, giving her a bad feeling.

And this premonition proved correct.

Lu Bozhou continued, "...Then go ahead. So they won't think I'm the one trying to keep you here."

Lu Bozhou stared at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, but the smile lacked warmth and didn't reach his eyes.

I asked her, "Is it really necessary for me?"

Jiang Mian immediately replied, "It's me who didn't plan to change jobs, it's me."

Qin Yanhuai felt very uncomfortable watching this, and he frowned as he looked at Lu Bozhou.

Then he reached out and gently patted Jiang Mian's shoulder, handing her his business card.

"Jiang Yu and I will be leaving now. This is my business card. Please contact me if you need any help. Let me know if you change your mind."

He placed the business card on Jiang Mian's bed and then left with Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu's emotions had not calmed down, probably because of the frustration and anger he had felt earlier.

He kept his head down and remained silent.

Jiang Mian felt a pang of sadness watching this, but there was nothing she could do.

Before Qin Yanhuai led Jiang Yu out, he suddenly stopped.

Lu Bozhou glanced at him, his gaze cold. "Any further guidance?"

"I wouldn't presume to offer advice." Qin Yanhuai smiled faintly, his gaze slightly cool. "I will provide a suitable position while Miss Jiang changes her mind."

"what ever."

"Let me remind you, Mianmian only tolerated you because she loved you. Not everyone is Mianmian. How long do you think they can tolerate you?"

Qin Yanhuai sneered, "So, Mr. Lu, let's show some respect to each other."

Just then, Song Xu arrived, panting heavily.

Upon entering, I was greeted by this tense scene, and then I noticed Lu Bozhou's demeanor.

Song Xu couldn't help but blurt out, "Holy crap!"

What a hellish scene this is!

Song Xu knew Lu Bozhou was not in a good state, so he looked at Qin Yanhuai and said, "Qin, you guys..."

Qin Yanhuai nodded, "I'm taking Xiaoyu with me. Miss Jiang, please take good care of her."

"Don't worry." Song Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

After Qin Yanhuai left with Jiang Yu.

The ward fell silent.

But the atmosphere was anything but harmonious; in fact, it was even more somber than before.

Lu Bozhou's voice remained cold and indifferent as he glanced at the business card on Jiang Mian's bed.

She gave a slight smile. "I'll have Song Xun pack your things and find you a suitable place to stay. I'll send it to you as soon as you're discharged from the hospital."

Jiang Mian suddenly looked up, her eyes widening in surprise.

His eyes were filled with panic. "W-what?"

She suddenly felt a surge of anger!

What exactly does this man want?!

I have already apologized! And I have already politely declined Qin Yanhuai's offer to his face.

Why is he still like this?! Why does he have to keep harping on this?!

Could it be that……

Jiang Mian took a deep breath and stared intently at Lu Bozhou.

Her voice was inexplicably hoarse, and she asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Do you, like them, think that I colluded with the bandits to stage this whole thing, a scheme to take advantage of someone's kindness?"

"Are you?" Lu Bozhou asked calmly.

Jiang Mian gritted her teeth, and unconsciously clenched her fingers.

The fingertip where the nail had fallen off was in excruciating pain.

The seeping blood had already stained the gauze wrapped around his finger.

But the pain made her more alert.

“What good would it do to say whether I am or not? If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason.” Jiang Mian gritted her teeth.

Lu Bozhou looked at her, his dark gaze silently fixed on her eyes.

She only asked one question, "Did you know that there's a tiny gap between the pressure plates in that machine?" [Qiqi is asking for votes and favorites! Oh my god, I just recovered from the flu, and now I've caught another cold, my nose is so itchy!]
