Chapter 177 The White Moonlight Who Died Early in the Substitute Novel (14)

The call connected, and Jiang Ciyou's soft yet slightly disgruntled voice came through: "Jin Xiu, why haven't you come to see me these past few days?"

Assistant Liang, fearing the other party might say something inappropriate, quickly interrupted, "Miss Jiang, President Pei is injured, and I'm taking him to the hospital now. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ciyou's tone suddenly rose, filled with anxiety and confusion: "What happened? How come Jin Xiu is injured again?"

Assistant Liang couldn't help but think to himself, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" But he maintained a respectful demeanor, though his tone was slightly stiff as he said, "I'm not sure. You'll have to come to the hospital and see President Pei later." With that, he quickly hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone of the phone being disconnected again, Jiang Ciyou's face flushed with anger. She slammed her bag onto the sofa and shouted, "A mere secretary dares to treat me like this! She doesn't respect me at all!"

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her eyes lit up, she took a few steps forward, grabbed her bag from the sofa, turned around and walked quickly to the door, and went out.

Meanwhile, Assistant Liang looked at the unconscious Pei Jinxiu, shook his head helplessly, stepped on the gas, and sped towards the hospital, hoping that everything would go smoothly once he arrived and that nothing else would go wrong.

The taxi had already reached the city center. The woman seemed to finally realize what was happening and turned to Cang Lan to express her gratitude: "Miss Mu, thank you for saving me. My name is Wen Tingting. Could you take me to a drug rehabilitation center?"

"No problem! Master, take her to the drug rehabilitation center first."

The old man driving perked up immediately when he heard that they were going to a drug rehabilitation center. Although he wanted to gossip a bit, he gave up when he saw that Cang Lan looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.

The two remained silent throughout the journey, with only the sound of the wind whistling past the car window.

The car slowly arrived at the drug rehabilitation center. Wen Tingting got out of the car, looked at Cang Lan with firm eyes and said, "Miss Mu, I will definitely repay you in the future."

After saying that, she resolutely walked into the drug rehabilitation center.

Once they arrived in the city, Canglan got off the bus. It had been a long time since she had indulged in shopping, and she was determined to enjoy herself to the fullest today.

Cang Lan casually walked into a shopping mall, and the shop assistants, upon seeing her, treated her like a god of wealth, enthusiastically surrounding her and constantly recommending various novel styles of clothing to her.

Cang Lan casually looked around, and if she liked something, she bought it directly without any haggling or hesitation.

After shopping, Canglan was a little tired, so she went into a milk tea shop, bought a cup of milk tea, and sat down to rest. Just as she was enjoying herself, Canglan idly started scrolling through her WeChat Moments.

Suddenly, a new post from Jiang Ciyou on WeChat Moments caught my eye. It was a picture of chicken soup with an enticing color, accompanied by the caption: "My dear is sick and hospitalized. This is a lovingly prepared chicken soup that I made myself. I hope he recovers soon and is no longer suffering from pain."

The words were full of affection and concern, but Canglan could immediately tell that this was a post on Jiang Ciyou's Moments that she had specifically shown to her.

"You've been jumping around for so long, it's time to teach you a lesson." Cang Lan then put down his phone, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

After saying that, she got up and left the milk tea shop, heading straight to the small shop next door.

The small shop was filled with a mixture of aromas, and the owner, a plump middle-aged man, was warmly greeting customers. Cang Lan looked at the menu on the wall and said to the owner, "Give me a bowl of chicken soup, to go."

The owner smiled and replied, "Alright, young lady, our chicken soup smells delicious, but you'll have to wait a little while."

Cang Lan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping around the shop. He saw that the so-called chicken soup was nothing more than chicken powder and unknown seasonings; although it smelled delicious, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that it had little nutritional value.

A moment later, the owner handed the packaged chicken soup to Cang Lan with both hands, his face full of a fawning smile.

His small eyes gleamed with shrewdness as he rattled off, “Young lady, you have such good taste! This chicken soup is such a great deal, only twenty-five yuan! It’s all freshly made with carefully selected, tender chicken meat.”

You absolutely can't get this good value anywhere else at this price. Try it and you'll see, it's incredibly delicious, I guarantee you'll be satisfied. Let me tell you, I also have several other signature soups, like corn and pork rib soup, and red date and black chicken soup—each one is my specialty, and I have tons of repeat customers. If you like them, come back next time and try some of the others, I'll give you a discount.”

Cang Lan's lips twitched. If she could smell the meat, she would have believed it. But since she wasn't the one drinking the soup, she replied generously, "Okay, I'll definitely come again!" After saying that, she took the chicken soup and went out to hail a taxi to the hospital.

The hospital corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Cang Lan walked hurriedly. When she entered the ward, Pei Jinxiu had obviously already completed the surgery and removed the bullet, but he was still unconscious.

Jiang Ciyou sat on the chair by the bed. When she saw Cang Lan come in, a hint of barely perceptible smugness flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her seemingly gentle and considerate demeanor.

"Miss Mu, what brings you here?"

Cang Lan didn't even glance at her, as if Jiang Ciyou was just an insignificant speck of air in the ward. She walked straight to the table and slammed the chicken soup down on it with a soft thud. Then she gracefully stepped onto the sofa, her elegant posture exuding an indescribable aura, and slowly sat down, as if she were the true mistress of the ward.

"I'm Jin Xiu's girlfriend. If I don't come, am I supposed to let you, the mistress, come?"

Coincidentally, a nurse happened to walk into the ward and overheard this heated conversation.

The female nurse subconsciously looked at Jiang Ciyou, whose face resembled that of the real girlfriend, and immediately imagined a scene of a mistress coming to provoke the real girlfriend.

Her eyes immediately flashed with undisguised contempt and disdain. But out of professional ethics, she quickly composed herself, tiptoed to the bedside, picked up the thermometer, and gently took Pei Jinxiu's temperature.

Jiang Ciyou naturally noticed the nurse's strange gaze, and a nameless anger welled up in her heart, but she couldn't vent it.

After the nurse took my temperature, I quickly left the ward.

Jiang Ciyou seemed unaffected, still forcing a calm smile as she replied, "Oh? Then how come I heard that Jin Xiu has already broken up with you?"

Cang Lan's lips curled into a mocking smile, her eyes gleaming with a playful light. She said slowly, "Are you sure? Pei Jinxiu was just kneeling in front of me, telling me he was wrong, that he would get rid of the other woman, and then marry me." As she spoke, she slightly raised her hand and gently tidied a strand of hair behind her ear.

Impossible. She had already found out that Mu Si'an and Pei Jinxiu had broken up, so why could Mu Si'an still say so confidently that they hadn't broken up?

Seeing Cang Lan's smug expression, which didn't seem like he was lying at all, Jiang Ciyou realized the information was wrong and immediately flew into a rage. Her face darkened, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels:

"But Jin Xiu loves me. We've been together ever since you went abroad. He doesn't love you anymore. Why are you interfering in our relationship?"
