Chapter 42 - She Couldn’t Do It

Jiang Rongyan took the chopsticks from her hand and sat in front of her with a bowl in his hand. He put the food into her mouth with a very serious expression.

Xu Anran didn’t think much of it at first, but the more she ate, the more strange the atmosphere became. Xu Anran’s face turned red, and she wished she could snatch the chopsticks from Jiang Rongyan.

After the meal, Xu Anran saw that he didn’t give her phone to her, so she asked, “When you brought me here, did you see my phone?”

Jiang Rongyan thought about it, then shook his head. “No. Your phone is missing?”

“Yes, it’s not with me.”

“Maybe someone threw it away after you fainted.”

The other party didn’t want her to call for help, so he definitely didn’t want her to take the phone. It was normal for him to throw it away.

“It’s okay. I’ll buy you another one when you’re discharged from the hospital,” Jiang Rongyan said.

Xu Anran nodded. She just felt that if she stayed in the hospital and didn’t have a phone, life would be a little boring. As the two of them were talking, Jiang Rongyan’s phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was the secretary calling. “I’m going out to take a call.”

Xu Anran nodded gently and looked at the television in front of her. However, she still couldn’t help but look at Jiang Rongyan outside the door from the corner of her eyes. What was he talking about? He was acting so mysteriously.

The secretary told Jiang Rongyan about what happened at the bidding site in a few words. When Jiang Rongyan heard this, he turned around and glanced at Xu Anran who was in the room. His gaze happened to meet Xu Anran’s. He calmly stepped aside and said to the person on the other end of the phone, “What else?”

“I’ve already taken photos of the work that Xu Anning displayed yesterday as per your instructions. I’ve already sent them to your mailbox,” the secretary said.

Jiang Rongyan nodded and opened his email to take a look.

Xu Anning’s work was the work that Xu Anran showed him that day. No wonder she was so angry when she came back that day. Thinking about it, it instantly made sense. “This work is Xu Anran’s. I think it’s time to change the person-in-charge of the Perfume Association.”

The secretary kept nodding. “Okay, I’ll do as you say.”

“And…”

The secretary waited for his instructions carefully. For some reason, he felt that the person on the other end of the phone sounded cold and angry.

“Go and beat up Xu Anning’s company. Tell them to restrain themselves. Also, find that employee from Enron. I want to interrogate him thoroughly.” Jiang Rongyan’s dangerous tone made people shudder.

“Yes.”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Rongyan closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the emotions in his eyes were dark and unclear. These people were really bold. Not only did they steal other people’s ideas, but they also dared to step on the original. Little did they know that geniuses were always geniuses. A fool like Xu Anning could only use these despicable methods to get to the top.

Thinking of this, Jiang Rongyan made a decision in his heart. He must investigate this matter clearly and cleanly, and also clear Xu Anran’s name.

Hearing the commotion in the room, he turned to look at Xu Anran. Seeing that Xu Anran was slowly getting up, he quickly walked over and held her arm. “What do you want to do? Your body hasn’t recovered yet.”

“I…” Xu Anran was embarrassed. “I want to find a nurse to take me to the toilet.” Her mobility was limited, but she was too embarrassed to trouble Jiang Rongyan, so she could only find a nurse.

“Why do you want to find a nurse? I’m here to take care of you.” Jiang Rongyan helped her up. “I’ll take you to the toilet.”

How could Xu Anran dare to let him help her? She was about to reject him at once. She forced herself to say that she wanted to go by herself, but before she could stand properly, she fell back down again.

Jiang Rongyan could not help but frown. He said helplessly, “Are you sure you can do it?”

Xu Anran was also very embarrassed. She quickly said, “It’s okay. I can do it. Just help me to the toilet.”

Jiang Rongyan felt that she could not do it, but he still listened to her words and helped her to the door. “Can I let go?”

Xu Anran leaned against the wall. She felt that she should be fine. Then, she nodded to Jiang Rongyan. “It’s okay. Let go.”

Jiang Rongyan let go of her hand. However, after just a second, she could no longer hold on and slid down the wall. Jiang Rongyan was quick-witted. He grabbed Xu Anran’s waist and pulled her up so that she would not kneel on the ground.

Xu Anran: “…” She could not do it. She could not..
