Outside the elevator stood a man and a woman, as well as a small boy about seven to eight years old. It was obvious that they were family.
"Is it really you, Vayon?" "I just told Xi Yao that I saw you. This time, your case is so big, I knew you would definitely come over to get a share." The lady carried a smile, and brought the little boy along with her into the elevator. The man was at the back, his deep gaze sweeping over Ji Weiyang and Zhan Yan, his lips curled slightly, but he did not say anything.
The ones who came were none other than Gu Xiyao and his wife, and their son Xiao Yuan.
"Fourth brother, fourth sister." Ji Weiyang spoke gently, the pressure on his hand that was holding Zhan Yan suddenly increased, it was clear that he wanted her to call for help.
Zhan Yan's head drooped slightly as she called out to her in an extremely low voice, "Governor Gu, Madam Gu."
Gu Xiyao did not mind the awkward address. He casually lit a cigarette, took a puff, and looked at Ji Weiyang: "The case is not over yet?"
"She just finished yesterday, this is the first time Yan came to Harbin. I've been bringing her around for the past two days." Ji Weiyang replied with a warm smile.
"I heard that it was also a masterpiece of the Third Young Master Ji that the Ice Snow Great World was booked after 22 o'clock today, right? That's romantic enough. " Lin Xiaoen joked, as her gaze intentionally or unintentionally swept across Zhan Yan's body.
Zhan Yan raised her head in shock, looked at the man beside him, only to see his lips curled up slightly, and she replied warmly, "Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me."
was a businessman, she also had her own opinions on the table. Only Zhan Yan, an outsider, could not answer her at all, she could only look down and eat, after finishing her meal, she would just sit quietly by the side.
Of course, there was one other person sitting at the table who didn't get a chance to talk, and that was Little Yuan. The boy had a pair of beautiful big eyes, and the look in his eyes was very similar to Gu Xiyao's.
"Auntie, they're too bored with their talk. Can we go out and play?" Little Yuan didn't recognize anyone and came over to hold Zhan Yan's hand. He blinked his innocent eyes at her, and no one could refuse.
Zhan Yan returned a friendly smile, and the two slipped out hand in hand.
Ji Weiyang and Gu Xiyao's husband and wife were still discussing the proposal. The Ji's Group and Lin Xiaoen's company were both participating. The three of them chatted merrily, but it was Lin Xiaoen who had sharp eyes. She saw that downstairs, under the street lamp, Zhan Yan was bringing Little Yuan and a group of children to have a snowy battle.
"Oh, I thought they went to the bathroom, but they went outside. On such a cold day, I was quite happy to play. " Lin Xiaoen laughed and took a sip of her coffee.
Ji Weiyang looked in the direction of her gaze and saw that Zhan Yan was wearing a goose yellow down jacket and holding a snowball, and was throwing it towards Little Yuan. Little Yuan did not show any signs of weakness, and both of her hands raised up the snowflakes, one by one, they flew towards Zhan Yan. She smiled and stepped to the side, his smile shining like the sun under the dim yellow light.
Ji Weiyang watched quietly, he could not move his gaze away. It had been a very long time since she had smiled so happily.
Gu Xiyao glanced at the scene indifferently at the side, then extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand into the crystal ashtray, and casually said, "What a big child."
Ji Weiyang smiled without saying a word, but his eyes contained a faint trace of pampering.
"She must be very fond of children. You've been married for so many years, you should also have one." She did not know what was going on.
Ji Weiyang's gaze suddenly darkened, but he maintained his composure and replied with a faint smile, "I've been working hard this whole time."
Lin Xiaoen glanced at the cigarette butt between his fingers, "When you decide to have children, you should stop smoking and drinking."
Ji Weiyang gave a light laugh, but very naturally extinguished the cigarette butt that had yet to be completely burnt out.
Gu Xiyao could be considered as someone who knew about this, but after hearing that his mother Luo Meijuan wrongly accused Zhan Yan, he asked, "Seems like your relationship has eased up, when you were leaving the country, she had people all over the world asking for your contact information, and he even rushed to the front of my car without caring about his life. At that time, it was rather heartbreaking, so I gave her your contact information abroad.
Ji Weiyang remained silent, but his pitch-black pupils began to grow colder and colder. There were some things that seemed to be coming out in his mind. When he went abroad, it just so happened that Zhan Yan was pregnant and she was in such a hurry to contact him. Besides wanting to tell him about his pregnancy, he couldn't think of anything else that could make her so anxious. But if she had wanted to tell him about the pregnancy, how could she have gotten rid of it? This was clearly not logical.
"Mom!" Xiao Yuan shouted out crisply, interrupting Ji Weiyang's train of thought. He raised his eyes and saw Zhan Yan bringing Little Yuan into the teahouse. Maybe it was because she had just exercised, but her face was red.
Little Yuan threw himself into Lin Xiaoen's embrace, while Zhan Yan sat by Ji Weiyang's side.
"Is it cold?" He took her hand naturally and kissed it without any scruples.
"Yes, not bad." She replied in a low voice, her cheeks slightly red as she awkwardly took her hand away from his palm.
Ji Weiyang smiled warmly, and asked again, "Are you tired? Let's go back to our room first, we didn't have a good rest last night. "
His words did not sound wrong, but when it entered Zhan Yan's ears, no matter how it sounded, it sounded a little ambiguous, probably because he felt guilty, and he wanted to know in his own heart what they did in the car last night.
"Yes." Zhan Yan nodded, she really wanted to escape from this awkward situation.
Just as Ji Weiyang wanted to bring her away, a couple of men and women walked in from the entrance of the restaurant, and directly towards their table. It turned out that Ji Weiyang was not here alone, and was accompanied by a few servants from the capital.
"Viyan, you brat, you took another hundred million dollars in engineering. Why do you need so much money? Beware of people dying and money being spent. " A man walked over and placed his arm on Ji Weiyang's shoulder.
Ji Weiyang laughed, and then punched the man's shoulder, "You don't need to worry so much, I won't be able to take you away."
"Before I burn them, let me win a little. Let's go, my luck has been really good recently, I just want to win against eight thousand flowers of the Third Young Master Ji."
Ji Weiyang shook his head with a smile, and took the opportunity to hold Zhan Yan's hand, "Maybe another day, it's too late for Yan Yan'er to sleep."
"Aiyo, sister-in-law is here too. Then let's go together. It shouldn't be a problem to sleep less tonight, right?" The person clearly didn't have any intention of letting them go.
Zhan Yan lowered his head, her face burning red. Nodding is wrong, but so is shaking of the head. In the end, Ji Weiyang was still dragged to the Great Wall.
Ji Weiyang only knew how to win, he did not even know how to write his words. Yet today, he had uncharacteristically lost a few rounds consecutively, and even gave Gu Xiyao a spot on his cannon as if he had a discerning eye. Whatever Gu Fourth Young Master Hu wanted to do, he would hit. Zhan Yan sat beside him quietly the entire time. The few men were all smoking and the entire room was filled with smoke, making people choke on their breath.
Ji Weiyang turned his head and looked at Zhan Yan. She did not say anything, but when she opened her cards again, she lost even more. She had only played eight rounds before the other two families stopped playing and kept on saying that they were going to lose all of their wives.
Ji Weiyang carried Zhan Yan and returned to his room together, exhaustion evident on his face. He hadn't had a good rest since he came to Harbin, after so many days.
"Why do you lose money on purpose?" Zhan Yan poured a cup of warm water and passed it to him, as she asked casually.
Ji Weiyang laughed, "You're pretty smart, you can even tell that."
Zhan Yan pursed her lips and did not say a word, waiting for his reply.
"I won't lose any money, and I'm afraid those people are still unwilling to let me go. "Last time, I took a project from Fourth Bro. I lost some money to him, so I'll treat it as a form of courtesy." Ji Weiyang patiently explained and pulled his tie off his neck.
After a simple shower, the two of them laid down on the big bed together, while Zhan Yan still pretended to be asleep with his back facing him.
Ji Weiyang's arm was wrapped around her waist, and his chin was lightly pressed against her shoulder. Yan Yan Yan, Fourth Brother said that when I left the country, you came to find me all over the world to tell me about my child? If you had been able to reach me, would our child have stayed? "
Ji Weiyang's voice was low and gentle, and for a moment, Zhan Yan was unable to detect any signs of anger.
She bit her lips as her heart started beating erratically. She did not know what Ji Weiyang knew, and how much he knew!
"I …" Zhan Yan hesitated for a long time, but just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted.
"Since you don't want to answer, then forget it." He hugged her once again, sighing faintly. "Yan Yan, let bygones be bygones. We'll have a good time, alright?"
Zhan Yan did not reply, but the instant she gently closed her eyes, tears silently flowed down the corners of her eyes.
Originally, Ji Weiyang planned to stay in Harbin for another two days and take Zhan Yan to play at Saint Sophia's cathedral and Sun Island's park there. However, his big brother Ji Weixin made a call, forcing them to end their journey early. This was because General Ji had a heart attack and was now in the hospital.
On the way back, Ji Weiyang's car drove very quickly, its speed already jumping to 180 meters. Zhan Yan only saw the scenery outside the car window quickly recede, and disappear. Fortunately, Ji Weiyang had good driving skills, and his driving was steady.
"Don't worry, General Ji will be fine." Zhan Yan's soft and small hands gently covered the back of the hand that was tightly gripping the steering wheel.
Ji Weiyang's deeply furrowed sword brows relaxed slightly as he turned his head to the side and gave her a faint smile.
The people from Ji Family kept on calling to urge him, causing Su Ying to exaggerate and make it seem as if General Ji would never be able to wake up from her sleep. Ji Weiyang's heart became heavier and heavier.
After the car got off the highway and went onto the secondary road, the sky started to fill up with snow, the road was slippery and for safety's sake, Ji Weiyang's speed slowed down slightly, but it was still at around 140 meters.
The car drove into the city and headed straight for the hospital. It was at this moment that an accident occurred.
As the dark green Land Rover passed the crossroads, a large truck suddenly burst out of the other side of the road, broke through the lights, and hit a passing Santana, then seemed on the verge of colliding with their car.
Ji Weiyang's reaction was extremely fast. He quickly turned the steering wheel, turned the car around, and barely missed the truck. However, the snowy sky was slippery and the ground was frozen. Their car was already fast and the tires slipped on the ground and they lost their bearings as they crashed into the roadside.
Everything happened in an instant and he had already lost control of everything. Ji Weiyang tossed aside the steering wheel, and almost without hesitation, he rushed towards Zhan Yan and used his own body to protect her.
"Weiyang …" Zhan Yan only had enough time to let out a scream before the car shook violently and with a boom, it crashed into a sturdy tree by the side of the road.
Even if it was a luxury car, under such a traffic accident, he was still severely injured. Ji Weiyang's forehead was covered in blood, but he was still conscious, the first thing he thought of was to check if the little lady in his arms was injured.
"Yan Yan, how are you?"
"It, it was okay." Zhan Yan answered with some difficulty, but her small face was pale white.
Ji Weiyang quickly glanced at her, but he did not see any injuries, so he assumed that she was safe and sound. The interior of the car was filled with the thick smell of blood. For a moment, it was impossible to tell who it belonged to.
He forcefully opened the car door, got off, and then carried Zhan Yan. Only now did she realise that Zhan Yan's right leg was stuck between the car door and the car seat. After hesitating for a moment, she fiercely crashed into the car door, causing the car door to be crushed and deformed.
Ji Weiyang reached his hand out to help her pull out his right leg, only to realize that her pants was completely soaked with blood.
"Are you hurt?" Ji Weiyang asked nervously, and immediately, his heart tightened.
"No, it's nothing serious. It might have been a cut." Zhan Yan replied weakly, forcing a comforting smile back.
But Ji Weiyang was not stupid, he had lost so much blood, how could it be just a small wound? He rushed out of the car like a madman. He clenched his fist and fiercely smashed it against the window of the car. The glass shattered on the ground, and his hand was dripping with blood. However, he did not care about the wound at all, as for the current Ji Weiyang, it was as if he had lost all sense of pain, his brows knitted coldly, his eyes only looking at the lady in the carriage.
After using all his strength, he finally unloaded the carriage door and carried Zhan Yan out. However, Zhan Yan had already fallen unconscious. There was a wound on her right leg that was almost half a foot long, and it was still bleeding non-stop.
Ji Weiyang looked at her as his eyes were dyed red with blood. He was already out of his rage. He took off his coat, tore off a corner of his shirt to wrap it around her wound, and then wrapped his coat around her body.
It was midnight, and very few cars passed, Ji Weiyang took out his phone to make a call, but he found that the phone was already in a black screen, and it looked like it was broken.
Ji Weiyang's heart was burning with anxiety. Zhan Yan's wounds were continuously bleeding, and he simply could not afford to wait. But if he bled too much, it was very easy for him to die from shock.
He wrapped the overcoat he took off around Zhan Yan and carried her up as he ran quickly along the road. Although the winter in S city was not as cold as Harbin, but it was still a frighteningly cold winter night. Ji Weiyang only had a thin shirt on his body.
Seeing that the situation was critical, the driver called 120 but didn't have enough time. He told them to get on the car and quickly drove towards the nearest hospital. Inside the carriage, Ji Weiyang hugged Zhan Yan tightly, his palms were covering her pale and cold face, "Yan Yan Yan, hold on, we will be at the hospital soon, everything will be alright, everything must be alright … …" As he finished speaking, his voice was choked with sobs. He buried her head in Zhan Yan's neck, her tall body faintly trembling.
After arriving at the hospital, Zhan Yan was the first to be pushed inside the operation room. Ji Weiyang sat outside the room, watching the doctors and nurses busy themselves with work, going in and out.
A sharp-eyed nurse saw that he was also covered in scars, so she stepped forward and kindly said, "Sir, you're also severely injured. Go check in the emergency room, it's not a small matter to injure your head."
"I'm fine, don't worry about me. How is my wife?" Ji Weiyang asked anxiously.
"You lost too much blood and you're still in the midst of transfusions. Don't worry, your life is not in danger."
"Mm, that's good, that's good." Ji Weiyang nodded and slumped back into his chair. He wouldn't leave until he saw that Zhan Yan was safe.
Zhan Yan's leg was stitched with twelve needles, and then, she was pushed out of the operation room and transferred to a normal ward. Ji Weiyang stood by the sickbed, guarding the unconscious her.
When Ji Weiyang got into the car accident, Ji Weixin and Tang Feng rushed over immediately. Seeing him in such a sorry state, they were all shocked.
"How is Dad?" Ji Weiyang asked.
"It's still not her old ailment. The doctor said it's nothing serious, it's all your sister-in-law making a big fuss over nothing." Ji Weixin's face turned green, and said: "Let's worry about yourself first, see how you look like now."
"I'm fine, I'm just going to grind my skin a little." Ji Weiyang subconsciously wiped the blood off his forehead and face.
Tang Feng could not take it anymore, he rushed forward and grabbed him, "What are you doing, why are you still trying to show off, it's not a small matter to hurt your head, quickly go and check with me."
Ji Weiyang impatiently shook him off, and his tone was a little harsh, "I already said that I'm fine, but when Zhan Yan wakes up, I will go and check for myself."
"Vuyo, don't be stubborn. Go and check. Your injuries are no worse than hers." Ji Weixin said angrily.
On the other hand, Ji Weiyang was still sitting calmly by the sickbed, completely unmoved.
