44: Hospitalization
Xu Ling had been pushed down, and her back hit the shelf with a burning pain. Watching the shelf about to fall on her, she was completely unable to dodge.
But after closing her eyes, the expected pain did not arrive.
She discovered that a woman beside Yu Mo had helped block it for her.
The three of them—Yu Mo and the others—saw this. "Lili!"
They rushed up to move the shelf. Because Yu Mo's hand was injured, she only moved the clothes aside, while Li Yanchu and Xia Huiyin lifted the shelf.
Li Shuyang and Yu Yining also came over and quickly took away the shelf and the mannequin.
The people in the shop were also startled by the scene, but they soon reacted and went up to help.
For the first time, they felt that there were so many clothes hanging on their shelves, and that the mannequin was actually so heavy.
The store manager saw that someone was injured and had no idea what to do; after all, something like this had never happened before.
"Miss, are you alright? I'll go get the first-aid kit for you."
Xu Ling's feelings were complicated as she watched this scene, especially seeing the blood on Jiang Li's forehead.
How did it come to this? "You..."
Jiang Li felt her head buzzing. She touched it and found she was bleeding.
On the surface, she didn't show much emotional fluctuation, but inside she was thinking: it hurts so much.
Why did I save her? It hurts.
If it weren't for seeing that Xu Ling was also someone who had been deceived and was quite pitiful, really, why did her 'Saint Mother' heart overflow? However, looking at her best friends who were worried about her, she spoke up: "I'm fine."
Li Yanchu looked at the blood on Jiang Li's forehead, her eyes turning red. "What do you mean you're fine? You're bleeding! Yinyin, hurry up and call an ambulance."
Xia Huiyin immediately took out her phone to call an ambulance.
Jiang Li also noticed that Xu Ling's leg had been injured by the impact. "Call two ambulances!"
Xia Huiyin saw Xu Ling's leg. Although she was the cause of it, still... "Okay, I got it."
Li Shuyang hadn't expected things to turn out like this. The police arrived first, and Li Shuyang and Yu Yining explained everything that had happened there.
Immediately after, Guan Wen was taken away.
Jinlin Law Firm received a case involving a person being harassed, a dispute in a store, and subsequent injuries.
When Lin Mo got the video, he discovered that it was actually the boss.
"Mr. Li, we've taken this case. We won't let the person who hurt our boss off the hook."
Boss Jiang Li was such a good person, yet she was actually injured.
Lin Mo directly blocked the Guan family's escape routes. If they wanted to escape by claiming the child was a psychiatric patient, no way.
In the end, Guan Wen faced a prison sentence, though it wasn't long.
At the hospital,
Jiang Li was lying on the hospital bed with Yu Mo accompanying her nearby.
"Momo, does this count as us going through thick and thin together?"
Yu Mo's injury had clearly healed, but her older brother insisted she stay in the hospital, so the two of them successfully ended up staying together.
Li Yanchu and Xia Huiyin thus became the ones keeping them company by the bedsides.
The two of them went to buy food together and returned to see the other two chatting happily on the hospital beds.
"Is this how you two show your hospitality? Making us come here just to sleep on the hospital's escort beds."
Although Li Yanchu said this, her hands didn't stop for a moment as she took out the food.
Xia Huiyin was the same. "Exactly. We originally came here to play, but now look—a multi-day tour of Modu Hospital."
Hearing this, Jiang Li and Yu Mo said, "Don't be angry. Lili is a little rich woman. Once she's discharged, she must make arrangements." Finally, Yu Mo looked at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li said, "That's right. You two young ladies have worked hard, so once I'm discharged, I will definitely reward you both. How about we go eat street-stall Malatang?"
Li Yanchu and Xia Huiyin were eating when they heard Jiang Li's words. "Sure, then I want to eat abalone at a hundred yuan per pound and lobster at five hundred yuan per pound."
"That's right, and things like bird's nest and Dandong strawberries!"
Hearing this, Yu Mo said, "Ooh, so impressive? Can I eat too?" After speaking, she stared at Jiang Li with wide eyes.
Jiang Li was suddenly being watched by three pairs of eyes. "Do you think I look like lobster or abalone? If you think I do, then just eat me."
Li Yanchu and Xia Huiyin replied, "Fine, once you're discharged, the two of us will eat you up."
Jiang Li said, "Forget it, I haven't washed my hair these past few days, it's oily and dirty. Better not!"
Hearing this, the three girls burst into laughter.
Jiang Li was also infected by the mood and started laughing.
Just as the four of them were very happy, there was a knock at the door.
The four of them turned to look and found it was Xu Ling.
Jiang Li asked, "Xu Ling, is something the matter?"
Xu Ling sat in a wheelchair and was pushed in. "Jiang Li, thank you."
Jiang Li said, "You're welcome. If that had hit your face, you would have been disfigured."
Xu Ling held up a basket. "Um, this is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you can accept it."
Li Yanchu helped take it and placed it in front of Jiang Li.
Jiang Li checked it. "What is this?"
"These are velvet flowers. I made them myself. I don't know if you'll like them?"
Jiang Li hadn't expected to see these velvet flowers.
At this moment, she also remembered the name Xu Ling.
In the future, there was an intangible cultural heritage inheritor named Xu Ling.
She also made velvet flowers.
"Xu Ling, who did you learn this from?"
Xu Ling hadn't expected Jiang Li to ask, but she still answered truthfully, "My grandmother taught me. But my father and the others think learning this is just a hobby, so they didn't mind."
Jiang Li said, "I like them very much, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Yu Mo noticed the person pushing Xu Ling's wheelchair. "Xu Ling, who is this?"
Xu Ling said, "This is my boyfriend, Meng Zimo. He also wanted to come and thank Jiang Li this time."
Meng Zimo took out a fruit basket and placed it on the table next to the hospital bed, then took out a card.
"This is a small token of my appreciation. It can help pay for Miss Jiang's medical expenses."
Jiang Li didn't care about the money right now. "Do you think I need it? Also, the fruit basket is quite nice, but of course, what I like most is these velvet flowers your girlfriend gave me."
Meng Zimo also knew he was being abrupt. "I'm sorry, I really didn't know what to give."
"It's fine, just take good care of your girlfriend."
"Yes, I can do that."
Li Yanchu and the others saw how pure Meng Zimo was acting; they hadn't expected Xu Ling's boyfriend to be so innocent.
"Can I call you Lingling?" Jiang Li asked, looking at Xu Ling.
"Of course. Can I call you Lili?"
"Okay."
Soon, the five of them were getting along as a group.
Seeing them discussing happily and noticing it was getting late, Meng Zimo planned to go downstairs to buy dinner.
Jiang Li saw this. "Mr. Meng, you don't need to go. Someone will be delivering food in a moment."
Meng Zimo heard this and said, "Oh, okay."
Then Meng Zimo sat on the sofa, looking at his phone to check a contract sent by his company.
Soon, Li Yiming, the manager of Louju Pavilion, personally delivered the food.
"Boss."
Li Yiming entered the ward and placed the food boxes exclusive to Louju Pavilion on the table.
"Thank you for your hard work, Li Yiming," Jiang Li said.
Li Yiming said, "Manager, you're too polite. I'll be going now."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
