Qiao Nian rolled up the sleeve of her right arm and looked down at the wound on her arm. A little of the flesh was exposed, and the edge of the wound was stained with dust. It was a shocking sight, but other than the pain, she didn’t feel anything special.
She lowered the sleeve and nodded. “Thank you, Doctor,” she said very calmly. “I don’t need anesthesia.”
The female doctor didn’t expect her to decide so quickly without even thinking about it. Instead, she was stunned for a second before she came back to her senses. She nodded and instructed the nurse to prepare what she needed for the suture. As she got up, she said, “Alright, wait for me in the treatment room next door. I’ll wash my hands and go over immediately.”
“Okay.”
Qiao Nian stood up as well and pulled down her sleeve, looking as though nothing had happened. She pursed her lips and prepared to open the door with her uninjured left hand.
Almost at once, the door opened from the outside.
She almost collided with whoever was coming in.
The man was covered in sweat and the fragrance of mint. He was quite dry. Ye Wangchuan had obviously rushed over. The car drove very fast along the way.
“Is everything all right?”
This was the first time Qiao Nian had seen him so flustered. Stunned, she shrugged and pretended to be relaxed as she swung her right arm. “I’m alright. My arm’s broken.”
Seeing that she was still able to smile, Ye Wangchuan immediately examined Qiao Nian from head to toe. He relaxed a little after confirming that only her right arm was injured and that the rest of her was fine. He frowned and asked in a low voice, “Do you know who did it?”
Qiao Nian felt as if there was a prairie fire burning on her skin where his fingertips touched. She took a step back and raised her head slightly. The contours of her face were smooth and unrestrained. Her gaze was wild, arrogant, and a little lazy. “I don’t know.”
Before she could finish, her red lips curved again. She smiled and tsked. “All I know is that someone’s asking for it.”
Jian Jin had just told her that someone had been onto her lately.
She was on her way back when a large truck turned the wrong way and hit her.
That person was quite anxious, as if he was afraid that she would live another day.
Qiao Nian didn’t know who did it, but she knew that only a few people could do such a thing. She would find out who it was later.
On the surface, she looked like she had nothing to do with it. In fact, she didn’t even seem to care. However, Ye Wangchuan could feel the frustration that the girl was suppressing. Qiao Nian had already restrained herself, but he could still feel her anger.
He pulled her into his arms and gently stroked the girl’s back to ease her breathing.
He wouldn’t ask if Qiao Nian didn’t tell him.
However, he knew very well that the car accident was probably related to the Jiang family.
She had finally gotten rid of the Qiao family in Rao City and met Jiang Xianrou and the others. Anyone would feel uncomfortable.
Not to mention Qiao Nian!
She was actually quite good to the Jiang family, including Jiang Xianrou and the others.
If not for the fact that they were related by blood, Qiao Nian would have pressed Jiang Xianrou to the ground and rubbed against her.
However, after enduring it again and again, what replaced tolerance was those people’s increasingly unrestrained behavior.
Ye Wangchuan placed his hand on the girl’s back and stroked it gently, as if he wanted to brush away the hostility that she could not suppress.
His eyes darkened and his voice was a little low. “Don’t interfere in this matter if it has something to do with the Jiang family. Leave it to me.”
