Transmigrated as the Chongxi Wife of a Critically Ill Young Lady - Chapter 27

Chapter 27

Ji Wanqing was exhausted and lay on the table. Cen Xia wiped the sweat from her temples with a wet wipe. Ji Wanqing looked up at her, her eyes full of tenderness.

Cen Xia coaxed, “Big sister, should I carry you to the bed to lie down for a while?”

Ji Wanqing didn’t move, just looked at her.

Then, Jiang He’s email popped up. She got up from the table and clicked to read the message.

Cen Xia massaged her shoulders and glanced at the content of the email. She couldn’t understand the professional jargon, but the urgency in the last part was very clear.

Ji Wanqing’s hands were on the keyboard. After a few seconds of simple thought, she gave a rough date for the proposal.

The other side replied almost instantly: “Then let’s meet at the Ji Corp. in three days, Miss Ji. I hope you can provide the best collaboration plan by then!”

Cen Xia saw the date in the email and asked with some concern, “Big sister, is this rival you’re facing very formidable?”

Ji Wanqing’s typing stopped for a moment. She looked back at her and typed a few words in the edit box: “She’s a genius in the IT field. What do you think?”

Cen Xia was surprised. “Really? Is she even better than Tang brother?”

Ji Wanqing nodded.

Cen Xia said, “Ah, Tang brother’s skills are so amazing, and she’s even better than him. Doesn’t that mean big sister is in trouble?”

After replying to the email, Ji Wanqing leaned back in her wheelchair, tilting her head to look at her.

Cen Xia was afraid she was uncomfortable and quickly used both hands to cushion her, her eyes, as bright as stars, lost in thought.

Ji Wanqing reached back and tugged at the clothes around Cen Xia’s waist.

Cen Xia snapped out of her contemplation and looked at her with worry.

Ji Wanqing raised her hand.

—Who’s more formidable, me or Tang Shaoyun?

Cen Xia said without hesitation, “Of course, big sister is more formidable. Big sister is the most beautiful and formidable person in my heart!”

Ji Wanqing’s dry lips curled into a smile. She raised her hand.

—Then what are you worried about?

Cen Xia half-crouched and hugged her, resting her chin on Ji Wanqing’s shoulder, and whined, “I’m not worried. I just feel bad for big sister. I don’t want big sister to work so hard!”

Ji Wanqing reached out to touch her face. Her arm had little strength, and it slid down after stopping on her face for a few seconds. Cen Xia felt a moment of sadness. She sighed softly, “How could I be so useless? I can’t help big sister at all.”

Ji Wanqing raised her hand to comfort her.

—It’s enough for one of us to be smart. You can be my assistant.

The corporate world has many twists and turns. In the past, she didn’t want her to see all of this, but ever since the last incident, she wished she could tie her to her side. Even in a crisis, two people are always better than one. She never wanted to experience that kind of despair again.

Cen Xia was happy. Her little face rubbed against Ji Wanqing’s neck, and she murmured, “Really? Can I really be big sister’s assistant?”

Ji Wanqing nodded.

Cen Xia hugged her, her face pressed against hers, and said with a smile, “The boss’s personal assistant is a big deal. From now on, Tang brother and Dr. Yan will all have to listen to me, and so will Shanquan!”

Ji Wanqing felt very secure. She raised her arm.

—The boss can’t hold on much longer, little assistant.

Cen Xia picked her up from the wheelchair and walked toward the bed, saying, “The little assistant will now serve the boss and put her to sleep!” She tilted her head, looked into Ji Wanqing’s eyes, and whispered, “Does the boss need a special service?”

Ji Wanqing’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she turned her head away, not looking at her.

Cen Xia put her on the bed and leaned down to kiss her cheek.

Ji Wanqing turned her head away, but Cen Xia kept chasing. She had no strength at all, too tired to even lift her eyelids, so she had to raise her hand in surrender.

—I can’t take it anymore, Xiaxia.

Cen Xia stopped teasing her, gave her a gentle peck, and pulled the blanket over her, telling her to sleep.

Ji Wanqing struggled to keep her eyes open. “Don’t go!”

Cen Xia said, “I’m not going. I’ll stay with you!”

Only then did she close her eyes, but she still didn’t dare to fall asleep completely.

The company was at a critical juncture. The public relations department was working hard to clear up the online rumors, and the legal department was preparing for the lawsuit. She might have to appear in court soon, so she had to make sure her days were free. She could only have Yan Shuang come up at night to check her body, receive treatment, and handle work matters at the same time.

After less than half an hour of rest, there was new information from Little Liu of the legal department. He said everything was ready and asked Ji Wanqing when she could appear in court. The night before the trial, the public relations department would release the relevant post, and the information department would find a way to make it a top trending topic. Now that all three parties were almost ready, they were just waiting for Ji Wanqing’s word.

She calculated the time, discussed it with Yan Shuang, and decided to release the post tonight and appear in court tomorrow.

The matter of Ji Wanqing’s throat happened a year ago, and they couldn’t find any direct evidence of foul play for now. However, the physical damage caused by the Ji family controlling her on the hospital bed and not letting her use the restroom was very obvious. Among the servants who served her, there was Steward Song. This post was only a response to the servant dismissal incident.

Yan Shuang had already obtained a relevant certificate from a reputable hospital regarding her condition. In addition, they had the most popular video on the internet, showing Steward Song holding the medicine, the look in her eyes as she looked at Cen Xia, and the details of Ji Wanqing confronting her face-to-face.

If they won the lawsuit, many netizens would change their minds. Steward Song would become the focus, and under immense pressure, she would inevitably seek help from Madam Ji. Ji Wanqing could then follow the clues. During this time, Yan Shuang would work hard to find evidence of her being framed back then. When the time was right, they would reveal the truth about the Ethereal Diva’s sudden loss of voice at the peak of her career.

Logically, this plan was sound, but everyone knew how difficult it would be to implement.

After everything was arranged, Ji Wanqing asked Yan Shuang to stay to check her body. She knew her throat wouldn’t be cured in a short time. She wanted to be able to stand up first so that she could at least take care of herself.

After his check-up, Dr. Yan decided to try a more conservative acupuncture treatment on her legs, but he was worried that Ji Wanqing’s body couldn’t handle it. He didn’t start the needles until he had confirmed it repeatedly.

The acupuncture process was very painful. Cen Xia stayed by her side, holding her hand tightly. Ji Wanqing could endure it at first, but later, the pain became too much, and her eyes lost focus.

Cen Xia was terrified. She looked at Yan Shuang with pleading eyes, crying and begging, “Dr. Yan, big sister will die if this continues!”

As a doctor, Yan Shuang had a strong heart during treatment. He completely ignored Cen Xia.

When the needling was over, Ji Wanqing was drenched in sweat. She couldn’t see her surroundings clearly, only vaguely hearing Cen Xia sobbing next to her.

Her hand was still tightly gripping her. It was too painful at the time, and she didn’t know what to do, so she just held on to her hand with all her might. It must have hurt her. She wanted to look at her, but she couldn’t focus her eyes.

Cen Xia said, “Big sister, it’s over…”

Ji Wanqing took a while to recover and vaguely saw her outline. She struggled to raise her arm to touch her face. Cen Xia leaned in, holding her hand and placing it on her own face, saying over and over, “Big sister, it’s okay. I’m here, I’m here…”

Dr. Yan came closer, anxious to confirm the patient’s condition. He dropped the titles and asked directly, “How is she? Is she feeling a little better?”

The first focused look from Ji Wanqing was a questioning one toward Yan Shuang. “Did you bully her?”

She knew Yan Shuang’s personality. He was usually very cold and would ignore everyone during a medical procedure. When Cen Xia was crying in fear, he definitely wouldn’t have comforted her.

That was indeed the case. Even when Cen Xia begged him like that, Dr. Yan didn’t say a single word of comfort and watched her with a cold expression the whole time.

Yan Shuang was a bit confused by the question, but he really admired the young miss’s willpower. She was on the verge of death and was still worried about whether her little wife had been comforted in time when she was scared. But he really wanted to say, “Young miss, I’m a doctor doing acupuncture, not a therapist. Whether your wife is happy or not has nothing to do with me!”

The light in Ji Wanqing’s eyes gathered a little more. She stared at Yan Shuang.

Yan Shuang’s back went numb. He looked at Cen Xia and quickly apologized, “Miss Cen, I’m sorry. The situation was urgent just now, and I overlooked your concern. Miss Ji is fine now. Please don’t be nervous!”

A thousand words couldn’t compare to the doctor’s simple “she’s fine.” Cen Xia’s emotions broke down in an instant. She held Ji Wanqing’s hand tightly, kissed it, and repeated over and over, “It’s okay, big sister. The doctor said you’re fine…”

Yan Shuang: …

His words held too much weight. From now on, when he practiced medicine, he would absolutely not let the madam be around!

Ji Wanqing recovered a little more strength. She looked at Cen Xia, who was a mess of tears, and struggled to give her a weak smile.

As a medical professional, and with a responsible attitude toward his patient’s condition, Yan Shuang glanced at Cen Xia and said, “Miss Cen, Miss Ji’s clothes are soaked. Maybe you can help with a hot towel?”

Cen Xia immediately composed herself and said repeatedly, “Okay, okay. Big sister, you lie down for a bit. I’ll go get a towel to wipe off the sweat!”

Ji Wanqing nodded in agreement. Cen Xia let go of her hand and stumbled toward the bathroom.

Yan Shuang sighed in relief. He had finally gotten rid of the difficult family member.

But when he came to his senses, he saw Ji Wanqing staring at him with a murderous look, as if silently questioning him, “I finally saw my wife cry for me. Why did you chase her away?”

Yan Shuang: It must be my eighteenth lifetime of bad luck to be your doctor, young miss Ji!

Ji Wanqing saw all of his subtle expressions. After giving him a warning look, she stopped making things difficult for him. She slowly raised her hand.

—How is the situation?

Yan Shuang answered evasively, “It can be treated, but it will take some time!”

Her body couldn’t handle a deeper treatment at all. He had only tried acupuncture today and almost killed her. The pain she would have to endure for the real treatment would be ten times greater than this. In Ji Wanqing’s current state, unless she found a way to recover her body first, anything they did would be useless.

Ji Wanqing closed her eyes and rested for several seconds before opening them to look at him.

—The trial is tomorrow. Let’s find the evidence first. Just tell me what you need from me.

Yan Shuang said, “Okay!”

He was about to pack his medical bag to leave, but he looked up at her, still worried. At that moment, Cen Xia ran over with two towels. Her hands were red from the hot water, but the towels were warm.

Dr. Yan held back what he wanted to say, picked up his medical bag, and left, saying, “Miss Cen, I’m leaving now. Call me if you need anything!”

Cen Xia said, “Thank you, Dr. Yan, thank you!”

He was the person who was giving her big sister acupuncture and medicine. She respected him very much.
