Chapter 54 -54: Temporarily Unable to Contact Mr. Xie

Xie Yanchuan awkwardly said, “No need.”

“If you have a fever, I really can’t bear it,” Xu Jinzhi shifted slightly and looked up at Xie Yanchuan.

“We have spares at home,” Xie Yanchuan blinked, only now beginning to feel embarrassed, and couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty while looking at Xu Jinzhi.

Xu Jinzhi found it amusing, but thinking about how today was already quite good, she decided not to tease Xie Yanchuan further.

“Then, should I head back?” Xu Jinzhi tilted her head and looked at Xie Yanchuan.

“Yes,” Xie Yanchuan nodded his head, then let go of Xu Jinzhi.

Although reluctant, she couldn’t stay there forever. Finally, Xu Jinzhi got out of the car, stood beside it, and told Xie Yanchuan to leave first.

Already having brought her to the doorstep, Xie Yanchuan didn’t fuss about who should leave first. After bidding farewell to Xu Jinzhi, he drove away.

Still, as he drove off, he couldn’t help but look at the person still standing there through the rearview mirror.

Unconsciously, he thought about the kiss he had given her not long ago, and his heartbeat was still very fast.

Xie Yanchuan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself as much as possible, and then the road reached a turning point. After the turn, Xu Jinzhi’s figure disappeared from the rearview mirror.

Xu Jinzhi’s fever yesterday was entirely due to being caught in the rain suddenly without changing her clothes soon after. After taking medication and a nap, she was fine the next morning.

Therefore, she got up early in the morning, prepared herself, went downstairs for breakfast, and then went to work as usual.

Upon reaching the office, Xu Jinzhi began her work as always, and the morning passed quickly.

Seeing that the time was almost right and having no significant tasks at hand, Xu Jinzhi prepared to visit University A to have lunch with Xie Yanchuan. However, before she could leave the office, Assistant Wen knocked and came in. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

“What’s up?” Xu Jinzhi casually asked, already packing up her desk, ready to leave.

“Mr. Xu, there was an accident at the Heyang construction site,” Assistant Wen said gravely. “About half an hour ago, a stack of bricks fell from above, hitting a worker.”

Xu Jinzhi’s expression changed, her voice turning serious, “What’s the situation now?”

“The worker was wearing a hard hat, but still, the falling bricks severely injured him; he has been rushed to the hospital, and the details are still unclear,” Assistant Wen reported truthfully.

Xu Jinzhi asked, “Since it’s a Xie Group project, where is Xie Linchuan? Has he gone there?”

This project was a joint venture between the Xie and Xu families, initially designed to bring both families closer through a marriage alliance.

Assistant Wen’s expression turned cold, “We’ve already contacted them, and since Mr. Xie couldn’t be reached and Chairman Xie has gone on a business trip with our Chairman Xu, the Xie Group has already sent someone else there.”

“Since this incident could negatively affect the Xu Family, I thought you should be informed.”

“You might need to go there personally if necessary.”

Xu Jinzhi took a deep breath, trying hard to control her temper, not wanting to lose her composure, but in the end, she couldn’t hold it in!

“Where the hell is that brainless Xie Linchuan!” Xu Jinzhi exclaimed angrily.

Assistant Wen couldn’t answer that question; if she had known, she would have taken action already.

“Let’s go there now,” Xu Jinzhi quickly decided and stood up, heading straight out.

On the way to the hospital, Xu Jinzhi first sent a message to Xie Yanchuan, informing him that they couldn’t have lunch together today.

Probably because of her sudden fever yesterday, and now saying they couldn’t have lunch together, Xie Yanchuan became worried and called Xu Jinzhi.

After picking up the phone, Xie Yanchuan asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell again or has something happened?”

“I’m fine, it’s just work-related,” Xu Jinzhi struggled to keep her emotions in check, but her tone was still somewhat stiff.

Xie Yanchuan was silent for two seconds before tentatively asking, “Is it something serious? Do you need my help?”

Although he knew he probably couldn’t be of much help, he could hear the anger in Xu Jinzhi’s voice and couldn’t help but offer his assistance again.

He thought there might be something he could do to help.

Hearing Xie Yanchuan’s concern, the anger in Xu Jinzhi’s heart seemed to extinguish instantly, “I can handle it, I’m just a bit angry.”

Angry that Xie Linchuan, that trash, was nowhere to be found when desperately needed!

Xie Yanchuan breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”

He was about to say something else, but Xu Jinzhi noticed an incoming call from Assistant Wen, likely about the hospital situation, so she ended the call with Xie Yanchuan prematurely, “I can’t talk now, we’ll talk after I’m less busy.”

Xie Yanchuan responded from the other end, and Xu Jinzhi quickly hung up, picking up Assistant Wen’s call, “What is it?”

“Reporters have already arrived at the construction site, and they will definitely be at the hospital soon,” Assistant Wen said.

Xu Jinzhi was momentarily speechless, her anger rising significantly after a moment, “What exactly is the Xie Group doing? Why can’t they keep even this under wraps?”

Assistant Wen didn’t know why the Xie Group couldn’t even manage such a minor matter, but the situation was progressing as it was.

“Be careful at the hospital,” Assistant Wen reminded.

“Got it,” Xu Jinzhi ended the call, her expression even more sullen, having cursed Xie Linchuan thoroughly in her mind!

Xu Jinzhi felt that agreeing to the cooperation between the Xie and Xu families was the biggest mistake she had made since coming back to life.

After all, she wasn’t with Xie Linchuan, so why agree to cooperate?

Couldn’t she just pursue Xie Yanchuan directly?

But now it was too late for regrets, the contract had been signed, and if something really happened to the Xie Group, the Xu Family couldn’t escape responsibility.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Xu Jinzhi first noticed several men wearing construction vests, then several senior executives from the Xie Group, and then family members wailing in front of the operating room.

Clearly, the reporters hadn’t found their way here yet.

“What’s the situation now?” Xu Jinzhi walked over and asked.

Her sudden appearance attracted many eyes, but no one spoke up. Only the manager from the Xie Group quickly came forward and called out, “Mr. Xu.”

Xu Jinzhi nodded slightly, then asked again, “What’s the situation? How is the person?”

“We still don’t know, the doctor hasn’t come out yet,” the manager said gravely.
