"Why not?" Zhan Yan looked up with slight suspicion.
"It doesn't matter." After Ji Weiyang finished speaking, he pressed the hang up button.
However, just as he hung up, the phone rang. It was as if someone was urging him to die.
Zhan Yan was not stupid and quickly guessed some clues. She lightly pursed her lips and opened her mouth, "It's better if you take it. Maybe you have something important to say."
Ji Weiyang hesitated for a moment, then stood up and went to the corner to answer the call, and when he returned, his expression was extremely heavy.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Yan's heart could not help but tighten.
"Angie was in a car accident." He replied in a low voice.
On the phone, Lu Manyun cried as she talked. Yesterday, Angel came back from the villa and her emotions were already unstable, but today, when the nanny was not paying attention, she secretly ran out and bumped into the incoming truck. Although Lu Manyun did not complain or scold her, Ji Weiyang knew clearly that if it wasn't for what he had said to Angel yesterday, she would not have gone to the extreme.
"Mm, then go and see her." Zhan Yan said with a bitter smile. At this time, Lu Anqi was in a life or death situation, if she insisted on staying with him, it would be too heartless. But, would he really come back?
Ji Weiyang half squatted in front of her, his eyes filled with helplessness, "Yan Yan, I'm sorry. If something were to happen to her because of this, I really wouldn't be able to rest at ease."
"Yes." Zhan Yan forced herself to smile, "Go ahead, I'm fine."
Ji Weiyang tenderly held her ice-cold little hand tightly, "I'll go take a look, I'll be back very soon." After he finished speaking, he quickly left.
Zhan Yan sat alone on the bench blankly, unable to recover from her shock for a while. Even when the employee called her number, she still did not react.
"Hey, are you alright? I seem to have called you. " The girl, who was also waiting for her number, reached out her hand and gave her a push.
Zhan Yan finally regained her senses and discovered that his face was already drenched. She quickly wiped away the tears on her face, then stood up and handed her number plate to the girl. "I'm done. I'll give it to you."
She left the Civil Affairs Bureau as fast as she could. She couldn't marry herself without the groom.
At this moment, on the other side, in the hospital.
When Ji Weiyang arrived, the operation was already over, and the situation seemed to be even worse than what he had imagined. There were many fractures on Lu Anqi's body and soft tissue contusion, but the most serious injury was the rupturing of her cornea, causing her eyes to go blind.
"Doctor, did my daughter never see it again in her life? She's become blind, isn't she? " Lu Manyun excitedly grabbed the doctor's arm, crying hysterically.
"Ms. Lu, please calm down. It's not like there is no hope for you to regain your sight. Before the patient's cornea is destroyed, if you do a corneal transplant in time, there is complete hope for you to regain your sight."
"Okay, then we'll do the surgery. We'll do the surgery right away. I don't care how much it costs. " Lu Manyun suddenly suffered a huge blow, to the point that her mind was a little muddled.
The doctor comforted her with a few words, then explained very professionally, "Don't worry, we will register Miss Lu's illness as a king. Once there is a suitable corneal donor, we will arrange the surgery as soon as possible. Please wait patiently."
Ji Weiyang remained calm and inquired, "Under normal circumstances, how long do we have to wait before we can find a donor for the cornea?"
"That's hard to say. Luckily, it might happen soon. As for some people, they might not be able to recover until their corneas are filled with bad things. They are rotten, and have yet to arrive." The doctor answered calmly, but his words more or less had the quality of placating the patient's family.
Actually, the number of corneal donors was very small, and there were more than 2000 cases of successful corneal transplantation in the major hospitals in the country every year. Generally, in cases like this where there was an urgent need for a short period of time, the cornea was rarely found, and most of them just waited with hope, until they lost sight forever in despair.
"Please rest assured, we will use the best medicines to maintain Miss Lu's current condition, and try our best to not let the condition worsen, so as to buy time for the transplant operation. Right now, all you need to do is try your best to soothe the patient's emotions." The doctor said a few more words and left.
Lu Anqi observed from inside the control room for more than twenty-four hours, and when she did not find anything abnormal, she was quickly transferred to the ordinary ward.
With the help of the medicine, she was still unconscious. Lu Manyun had been keeping watch beside the bed the whole time, silently wiping her tears. What if Angie never saw it again for the rest of her life? She was a musician, but she could no longer see the score, nor could she see the black and white keys. Could she no longer play the piano? Is her life ruined like this? "
Ji Weiyang stood behind her, looking slightly haggard. It may not be as bad as we thought, Auntie. As long as someone donates the cornea, Angie will be able to recover. "
Lu Manyun sighed heavily, cried and shook her head, "Weiyang, you don't have to comfort me either. In fact, I know that the Chinese culture of the past thousand years, is to bury peace, after the death left a complete corpse. There are a few people who want to donate corneas after death, Angie. I'm afraid she won't be able to wait. "
Her words left Ji Weiyang speechless. Looking at the pale, lifeless Angie on the bed, he regretted his mistake. Why did he say those words to Angie when he knew she was sick? He should have given her time, let her take it slowly. That way, things would not turn out like this.
"Auntie, you've been tired all day. I'll go buy some food."
"No need, I can't eat anything." Lu Manyun waved her hand.
"Auntie, you have to eat something. If you fall down too, who will take care of Angel?" Ji Weiyang comforted her gently and then left the ward.
He drove to the nearest restaurant and ordered Lu Manyun's favorite dishes. However, when he returned to the ward once again, the room was already in a mess.
Just as he was about to leave, Lu Anqi woke up. When she realized that she could not see him, she immediately lost control of her emotions.
"Let me go, let me die, why … why are you tormenting me like this? "I can't see anymore, and even Viyan doesn't want me anymore. What's the point of me living!"
"Let go! Don't touch me! I'm going to die! Let me die! I'm begging you …"
Ji Weiyang stood outside the ward, inside the ward, Lu Anqi's painful wails were like sharp blades that cut into his heart. His tall and weak body leaned against the wall, and the lunchbox in his hands fell to the ground with a thud.
After a long while, the doctor and nurse pressed Lu Anqi onto the sickbed and forcefully injected him with a sedative. Only after that did she calm down.
Lu Manyun was also being tortured to death, her eyes were swollen from crying, she was supported by the nurse who helped her out of the sickroom, upon seeing Ji Weiyang, she suddenly lost control of herself, went up to him and grabbed his clothes, and asked painfully: "Weiyang, why did you do that? Why did you provoke her when you knew she was sick? I know, I know that for the past three years, she has always been a burden to you, but for her to behave like this, wasn't it because of your Ji Family! But we've never blamed you, and aunts know that you want to get married and have children, that you want to live a normal life, that we don't stop you, that we won't stick with you. I'm just asking you to spare a little time and love for Angie, is that too much? Why, why are you so cruel? "So heartless!"
"I'm sorry, Auntie. I'm sorry." At that moment, other than apologizing, Ji Weiyang didn't know what else to say or do.
Lu Manyun cried her heart out, and in the end, because she was too sad, she fainted. The doctor and nurse rushed her into the emergency room.
With such a huge incident with the Lu Family, the General Ji that was originally observing outside took the chance to rush back that night.
In the quiet hospital corridor, Ji Weiyang leaned against the window and smoked non-stop, while General Ji walked out of Lu Manyun's room with an ugly expression on his face.
"Are you satisfied now? I've already warned you that you can't be quick when you want to, but you just want to be on your own. " Ji Bocheng reprimanded her in a few sentences. Seeing Ji Weiyang keep silent, he did not say anything else.
"What are you going to do now?" Ji Bocheng asked again.
Ji Weiyang exhaled the smoke, his face hidden behind the smoke, his emotions was unclear, only his quiet reply could be heard, "Other than waiting, what else can we do, the most important thing right now is to let Angel regain her sight."
"Yes." The General Ji nodded in agreement, but continued, "I have already informed all major hospitals. As long as donors appear, they will immediately contact us. But, Vuyo, you must be prepared. Angie's condition can only last for a few months at most, and the odds of waiting for the cornea are low. If she's really blind because of this, you have to be responsible for her for the rest of your life. "
Ji Weiyang remained silent, his eyes terrifyingly deep.
He stood in the corridor of the hospital the whole night. Only after dawn did he enter Angel's sickroom. She was sitting on the bed with thick gauze wrapped around her eyes. She no longer lost control like yesterday, but ever since she woke up, she didn't say a word, didn't eat nor drink. She just sat there blankly, unable to persuade anyone. Lu Manyun almost fainted from crying.
"Angel, why don't you eat a little? You'll break down if you're like this. "Mom's heart hurts when she looks at it." Lu Manyun brought the spoon to her lips, but was pushed away by Lu Anqi, causing the soup to spill all over Lu Manyun's body.
"Auntie, give it to me, you guys go out first." Ji Weiyang took the bowl from Lu Manyun's hands and then sat down beside the sickbed.
Only Ji Weiyang and Lu Anqi were left in the ward. He scooped up a spoonful of soup and brought it to Angel's lips, then lightly said, "Drink some."
Lu Anqi turned his head, her voice choked, "You still care about my life? Isn't there only Wei Zhanyan in your heart? You can go and find her, but why do you still care about what I do! "
Ji Weiyang frowned slightly, then threw the spoon into the bowl, "You're not going to drink? "Alright, then I'll be going." With that, he put the bowl to the side, stood up and was about to leave.
When Lu Anqi heard him about to leave, she immediately panicked. She randomly extended her hand out to grab at him, but because she could not see, she missed, almost falling off the bed. Luckily, Ji Weiyang's hands were quick enough to support her.
Lu Anqi lay on his chest and cried, "Weiyang, I'm really useless, I can't see anything now, I can't do anything, I'm a cripple now. Vuyo, don't abandon me, don't abandon me, okay? "
Ji Weiyang's gaze was deep as he silently sighed, and then, he returned the bowl to her hands. "Drink the soup first."
"Mm, I'll drink. Viyan, do you think you won't want me as long as I'm obedient?" Her voice was weak as she spoke pitifully. She then picked up the bowl of soup and gulped it down, as if she would abandon her if she slowed down even a bit. This kind of Lu Anqi was indeed very heartbreaking.
After Lu Anqi went to sleep, Ji Weiyang then left the ward, and pushed open the door, only to see Tang Feng standing outside the door at some point.
"Why are you here? Is there something with the company? "
Tang Feng shook his head and casually handed over a cigarette to Ji Weiyang and took out his lighter to light it up for him. Ji Weiyang took a deep breath, exhaling the faint smoke. His tall and big body leaned against the window, and his lowered eyes were as deep as the sea.
"I heard that something happened with Lu Anqi, let me take a look. Wei Yang, you stay in the hospital all day, what about Wei Zhanyan? If we can't handle it well, sooner or later it's going to be a problem. " Tang Feng lit a cigarette for himself, and smoke immediately filled up the entire empty corridor.
Ji Weiyang flicked the ash on his fingertips, and a cold smile appeared on his face. "Maybe, I shouldn't have provoked Zhan Yan."
If she hadn't met Ji Weiyang in her entire life, the current her should have been married to Gao Yuxuan and had children, living a dull and blissful life. It was he who had personally torn apart her originally peaceful path of life.
"Hey, are you going to let go of me after hearing this?" Tang Feng said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
Ji Weiyang narrowed his eyes in silence, his entire body exuding a clear and cold aura.
Let go? How could he let go? Zhan Yan had already merged with the blood vessels in his heart. If she wanted to forget about it, she would need to dig out his heart.
Seeing that he was silent, Tang Feng tactfully changed the topic, "You have to personally step in to negotiate with the TC tomorrow."
"Okay, send the data to my mailbox, I'll be back later." After Ji Weiyang finished speaking, he extinguished the cigarette butt that had not yet burnt out, and walked back into the sickroom.
Lu Anqi's emotions had always been unstable, sometimes sober, sometimes confused, sometimes quiet, sometimes hysterical. Ji Weiyang stayed by her side all day, and only after night fell, did she leave the hospital to go to the office. Afterwards, he worked overtime through the night, all the way until dawn.
In the top floor of the CEO's office, the coffee cup on the table had long been bottomed out. Ji Weiyang's tall and big body was leaning on the office chair, traces of blood could be seen in his eyes.
He closed the documents on the table, his hand holding onto his black mobile phone, after a moment of hesitation, he dialed Zhan Yan's number.
After two rings, a soft female voice came from the other end of the phone, followed by a suppressed cough.
"Why are you coughing again? Have you not recovered from the cold yet?" he asked worriedly.
With much difficulty, Zhan Yan managed to stop her coughing, and replied indifferently, "It's almost done."
"Don't forget to take your medicine. Take good care of yourself. When I'm not busy, I'll come back and see you."
"Yes." Zhan Yan replied warmly.
"Yan Yan, I miss you. What about you?"
"…" Zhan Yan pursed her lips and did not say a word.
Ji Weiyang sighed, "If you don't answer, I'll just treat it as you thinking about me."
Zhan Yan remained silent. Her soft breathing could be heard from the other side of the phone, and Ji Weiyang could only use this method to relieve the pain of his yearning.
Then, the two sides of the phone went silent, as if they had a tacit understanding to avoid talking about Lu Anqi on purpose.
However, the door to the CEO's office was suddenly knocked from outside. Tang Feng pushed open the door and entered, breaking the silence.
"You stayed up all night again?" He frowned helplessly, "The car is waiting downstairs. It's time to go."
Ji Weiyang nodded his head, then said hurriedly into the microphone, "I have some matters to take care of, so I'll hang up first."
"Mm, you …" Without waiting for Zhan Yan to finish speaking, a beeping sound came out from the receiver. She hung up the phone blankly and could only add in her mind: You pay more attention to your body too.
At this time, Zhan Yan had not woken up yet. She leaned against the bedside, coughed fiercely for a while, then struggled to reach for the cup of water on the bedside table. The water that night was already completely cold.
When he wasn't by her side, Zhan Yan felt as if her heart had been hollowed out. She really wanted to ask, how was Lu Anqi? How long are you going to stay with her? Three days, three months, another three years, or a lifetime? Are you going to come back to me?
But, in the end, Zhan Yan endured it all. She was so afraid, afraid that he would give her an answer that would cause people to despair.
