A wave of restlessness came from his side.

Accompanied by the screams of passersby, a loud boom resounded in Li Xiaoxi's ears. Dust flew in all directions, causing her back to hurt, and her vision immediately turned dark.

When Li Yan Chen arrived, this was the scene he saw.

There was dust and debris from the fall of the billboard. Under the debris, two people were being pressed down.

Almost at the first glance, he recognized that the person whose forehead had a trace of blood on his chin was Li Xiaochu. She opened her eyes a crack and when she saw him, she instantly lit up.

That sudden radiance pierced his heart. Li Yan Chen ran towards him like a madman, but just as he was about to approach Li Xiaoxi, he heard a weak voice, "Yan Chen, save me …"

His steps suddenly halted, and when he realized that the person calling for help was Jiang Luoluo, his face shook.

The wind blew past Li Xiaoxi's body, causing her to be dazed. Her eyes trembled, and her heart was as dead as ashes. The last bit of rationality she had was shattered, causing her to fall into a deep coma.

What was she waiting for?

"Little Chu, if something happens, I won't forgive you!"

The old man's stern rebuke slowly reached Li Xiao Chu's ears, this was the first sentence he heard after he recovered his consciousness.

She recognized the person who spoke. It was Old Man Li. Her eyebrows creased, and she wanted to open her eyes.

Perhaps it was the effect of the drugs that had caused her to be unable to move even though she was conscious. Thus, the conversation in the room continued to linger in her ears.

"Grandfather, don't blame me, didn't the doctor already say so? She's fine, she's only slightly injured and will wake up very soon."

Her voice was clear and delicate, and it was the voice of Li Yu.

Old Man Li was dissatisfied: "This is your sister-in-law. I don't understand what Xiao Chu has done to offend you two. For the past half year, you and your brother have treated her coldly. "It's so hard on this little girl. Li Yan Chen, if you don't pity her, then divorce her!"

This time, Old Man Li was truly angered. In the past, he had turned a blind eye to this.

But now, in the short span of a month, she had gone to the hospital twice.

"The daughter of my benefactor was originally meant to be happy, but after a few life and death experiences, if Little Chu's mother knew that her daughter would suffer, she would rather walk away with her heart than save your sister!"

"It's not like her mother saved me. Grandfather, you've been tricked for so many years, why don't you understand that she's a liar? She's the same kind of person as her father, Qu Xianghai!"

When he heard Old Man Li mention this matter, Li Si couldn't sit still.

Her resentful gaze fell on Li Xiao Chu's calm face, and it became colder and colder.

Old Man Li was still fuming with anger, but when he heard Li Yu's outrageous retort, his old face turned red. Li Yan Chen hastily took a step forward to stop the dispute between the two.

"Grandfather, I won't divorce her."

Old Man Li glared at him when he heard this, "I hope you and Little Chu get a divorce now!"

"Don't worry, there won't be any more of this happening in the future, I swear."

Li Yan Chen avoided the main point and could only make a promise. His ambiguous attitude made Li Xiao Chu's heart tremble.

Was he putting on an act in front of his grandfather to continue protecting Jiang Luoluo, or … You really don't want to divorce her?

Almost as soon as the last thought popped into her mind, it was immediately thrown away by her.

Li Xiaochu, Li Xiaochu, you really don't want to die even if you don't see the Yellow River.

Wasn't his choice to save Jiang Luoluo the best proof at noon?

She, Li Xiao Chu, would always be a useful tool for Li Yan Chen, that was all.

While her heart was still aching, she heard Li Yan Chen's voice, "It's getting late Xiao Si, go back and rest with grandpa. I'll guard this place."

Li Si Si muttered to himself in a low voice before leaving with Old Man Li one after the other.

After the sound of footsteps, the ward returned to silence.

Li Xiaochu awkwardly discovered that she could move now, but if he opened his eyes now, he would definitely misunderstand their conversation.

The hand under the blanket clenched nervously. She was hesitating, unable to make a decision.

"Since you're awake, decide what you want to eat. This is a call from Venus Restaurant. They can do whatever they want to eat."

Li Yan Chen's voice was neither harsh nor indifferent. It was formal to the point where he did not have any feelings for Li Yan.

Li Xiao Chu slowly opened her eyes, only slightly moving her body, a burning pain came from her injured back, she gasped, and quickly endured it.

Li Yan Chen held his phone and stopped moving as he turned to look at her, "Don't move, your back is injured and you have a slight fracture in your spine. There will be someone who will take care of you during this time. I've taken three months off for you."

Having been injured for a hundred days and having rested for three months should be enough. Li Yan Chen carefully calculated, but he did not realize that after he finished speaking, Li Xiao Chu had suddenly opened his eyes.

"No way!" She was so shocked that she immediately sat up. Her actions suddenly brought up the wound on her back. Her already pale face became even paler.

Li Yan Chen furrowed his brows, his discontent expressed through his silence.

Li Xiaoxi licked his dry lips and explained, "I have to go back to work. Director Li's movie has been cut off for a month already because of me. I can't let everyone in the crew be dragged down by me."

In fact, it wasn't just Director Li's new movie. There were other jobs that had been arranged a month ago that had been postponed because of her last miscarriage.

If it was before, Li Xiaochu would absolutely and unconditionally obey his arrangements. But now it was different, they had already formed a cooperative relationship.

She had to be prepared to leave at any moment, if she had enough money to pay for her brother's medical expenses.

Three months. A celebrity's time at their peak was extremely limited. These three months might be the only time she could save money, so she could not take the risk and put it on hold!

"I'm an investor. I have the right to decide when to turn it on."

Li Yanchen didn't know what she was thinking. He lowered his voice and tried his best to maintain his patience.

With his determination, Li Xiaoxi became anxious. Even her pale face had a tinge of color on it. She sat up straight, "Other than Director Li, I have other work to do. I …"

"When did you become so professional?" The words that came out of Li Yanchen's mouth were laced with obvious irony.

Li Xiao Chu's eyes dimmed, and suddenly laughed out loud: "I have to prepare my own escape route, right? "Teacher Li, I'm not Jiang Luoluo. Besides myself, no one will arrange everything for me."

The three words, 'Jiang Luoluo', seemed to be a taboo. Just a mere touch would cause Li Yanchen to bounce back.

His face was gloomy, and his aura was pressuring her. The rain and wind between his brows were already warning her that he was angry.

Li Xiaoxi didn't know what had happened to him tonight. The more he showed that he cared, the more rebellious she became.

"I'm not a professional worker, but I want to earn money. When we get divorced in the future and Jiang Luoshen becomes your wife, will she allow you, Li Yan Chen, to continue paying for my brother's medical fees?" I don't think so, and didn't Mr. Li himself say that you were never a charity here? "
