Chapter 834: I’m Afraid I’ll Have To Resign Tomorrow
Editor: Henyee Translations
Murong Qiao stood in front of Chi Hanjing, her movements a little careful as she checked if the other party was injured or not.
As for what Jiang Weiyang said beside her, she didn’t care at all.
Chi Hanjing’s manager stood not far away and naturally didn’t dare to say anything about the boss’s conversation. He was waiting for an outcome.
Although Murong Qiao didn’t know how to check, after interacting with her Second Brother previously, she knew how to identify some basic injuries.
She looked around and saw that other than the wound on Chi Hanjing’s thigh, she was fine. She heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to pull her out to the hospital for a checkup, she suddenly sensed that the annoying sound had disappeared.
She looked around in confusion and realized that Jiang Weiyang was only looking at her without saying anything.
Unbeknownst to everyone, a faint cracking sound sounded above their heads.
The steel frame that had been carrying most of the weight of the studio suddenly cracked, and right on the heels of that, like a chain reaction of dominoes, it fell straight down.
“Be careful!!”
Someone noticed this change first and shouted in shock.
Then, everyone was in a mess. After Murong Qiao realized that something was wrong, she didn’t even bother to look up at the source of the voice above and immediately wanted to run towards the door beside her. However, just as she was about to take a step, she remembered that Chi Hanjing was beside her.
Without another word, Murong Qiao grabbed Chi Hanjing’s arm and pulled her to the side. “Let’s go.”
Her calm tone was a stark contrast to the chaotic event location. It pulled Chi Hanjing back from her confused state.
Although only a portion of it had collapsed, the steel frame used to build the studio was shockingly heavy. It required the combined efforts of a few workers or even machines to take shape.
Now, it has fallen down with the help of gravity. If it hit someone, they would either die or be heavily injured.
Murong Qiao couldn’t care less. She pulled Chi Hanjing to the side to dodge, but it was still a little difficult to move with a person. After a moment of hesitation, she tripped on something and the steel frame above her head fell.
With their feet obstructed, the two of them pounced forward. Murong Qiao couldn’t care less and instinctively wanted to protect Chi Hanjing beside her. In the end, she felt a sudden warmth on her right arm.
The studio rumbled, so loud that it made one’s heart tense up.
A steel frame as tall as an adult fell from the sky and coincidentally landed beside Murong Qiao and Chi Hanjing.
If it’d fallen even half a meter closer, the two of them would probably rise into the sky.
“Boss—”
Chi Hanjing was not injured, but when everything around her quietened down, she hurriedly looked up and realized that Murong Qiao’s arm was already dyed red with blood.
This time, it was not Murong Qiao who brought Chi Hanjing to the hospital. Instead, the two of them got into the car together.
The manager, who was originally standing in the distance, became a survivor. He turned into a chauffeur and rushed through a few red lights. He brought Murong Qiao and Chi Hanjing to the entrance of the hospital and hurriedly called for help.
He originally wanted to invite the boss over to discuss this matter, but he didn’t expect the other party to be injured.
“Oh no, oh no…”
Seeing that Chi Hanjing and Murong Qiao had been taken away to deal with their injuries, the manager paced about restlessly in the corridor and kept muttering, trying to calm his panic through this behavior.
It was over. One injured person was not enough. Now, there were two.
He would probably have to resign tomorrow.
Compared to the injuries that Chi Hanjing had already treated urgently, Murong Qiao’s arm was still bleeding. It was clearly more serious. Immediately, a more professional doctor came over to help her treat it.
At first, Murong Qiao didn’t feel anything. Instead, her arm gradually hurt after being pushed into the hospital. She had just looked down at her arm and realized that there was a long and thin wound from the back of her wrist to her elbow.
It was so deep that one couldn’t tell. However, the blood flow was a little scary. Even her clothes were dyed red.
“Doctor, my hand…” Murong Qiao looked at the doctor who was wearing a mask. Just as she opened her mouth to ask about the injury, she felt a slight pain in her arm.
The female doctor was expressionless. “Your wound is a little big. I’ll give you anesthesia to prevent you from hurting.”
“How did it happen?”
“…I was scratched by a steel bar.”
“Then you have to go and get a teta.n.u.s shot later to prevent any problems.”
“I’ll prescribe some anti-inflammatory medicine after I’m done. Don’t use your hands for the time being. It’s best to find someone to take care of you.”
After asking Murong Qiao a few questions, the doctor reminded her of some things she would have to pay attention to.
Perhaps it was because she had lost too much blood, but Murong Qiao felt a little dizzy and sleepy.
Coupled with the anesthetic on her arm, she was unconscious and couldn’t see the doctor’s movements. Her eyes were slightly closed, and she had the intention to sleep.
Her eyes gradually closed and she fell into darkness.
Murong Qiao felt herself fall into a groggy state. She only heard some noise around her.
When she opened her eyes again, she realized that she was lying on a hospital bed. There was also someone sitting beside the bed that made her heart skip a beat.
“S-Second Brother?” Murong Qiao looked at Murong Zheng, who had been sitting here for an unknown period of time, and called out carefully.
“Hey.”
Murong Zheng replied coldly, but he didn’t forget to flip through the doc.u.ments. Murong Qiao glanced at the English words on it. Even she was a little confused. It should be those academic reports for research.
Although she knew that the other party was sitting here because he knew that she was injured, Murong Qiao still subconsciously retracted her injured right hand when she saw the other party.
The injured arm had already been bandaged completely with a wooden board and a thick bandage. Now, it no longer had the terrifying look of blood flowing when she first came to the hospital.
“You’ve just woken up and you’re already moving. I think you don’t want this hand anymore?” Murong Zheng said.
When Murong Qiao heard the other party say this, she immediately stopped what she was doing and coughed softly.
It was clearly an accidental injury, but when she woke up from the hospital bed and saw Murong Zheng sitting by her bed, Murong Qiao subconsciously felt guilty.
About two minutes later, Murong Zheng finished reading the academic report in his hand and put it aside. His gaze moved away from the complicated words and looked at his Little Sister.
“Cut by steel bars?”
Murong Zheng glanced at the wound and asked casually, but his tone was indescribably cold.
Murong Qiao could only nod honestly. “There was an accident when I went out to work today…”
She didn’t intend to explain the details to Murong Zheng. If not for the fact that she saw him sitting beside her the moment she woke up, Murong Qiao actually didn’t intend to tell him about this at all. She didn’t want her Big Brother to worry about her.
“If I didn’t take the initiative to discover that you were here, would you not have planned to tell me?”
Unexpectedly, Murong Zheng seemed to have the ability to see through the thoughts of others. Just as the same thought appeared in Murong Qiao’s mind, he said this.
Murong Qiao had never lied in front of her family, so she was only silent for a moment. This was also a different answer.
“Heh.” Murong Zheng stood up. “Don’t go home for the next few days. Stay here and recuperate.”
“Second Brother, there’s still—” Murong Qiao still wanted to struggle.
“Unless you want me to tell the family about this.”
These words successfully “pressed” Murong Qiao back to the bed. She was even more obedient than when she was sleeping.
