Chapter 179 The White Moonlight Who Died Early in the Substitute Novel (16)

Another nurse said indignantly, "The mistress should be punished. Look at the current social climate, it's become such a mess. The child born to a mistress can inherit the family business. If I were Miss Mu, I would have already taught this shameless mistress a lesson. This mistress is too arrogant and dares to provoke the wife."

The nurses chattered excitedly, all cheering on Canglan's "heroic feat."

A moment later, Assistant Liang made a dazzling entrance. The sound of his leather shoes stomping on the ground seemed to have its own background music.

The moment it peeked out, good heavens, the nurses' eyes instantly shot towards it like wolves eyeing a fat sheep, their excitement practically drooling.

Assistant Liang felt a chill run down his spine under her gaze, wondering to himself, "What's going on? My clothes aren't on backwards, and the buttons aren't wrong. Could it be..."

His expression suddenly changed, and a terrible thought flashed through his mind: "Could it be that I forgot to zip up my fly when I went to the bathroom?" The thought almost scared him out of his wits.

He glanced down furtively, and only breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that everything was alright.

He cleared his throat, trying to appear calm, and even gave the nurses what he thought was a charming look, but they completely ignored him and kept staring at him.

Assistant Liang was utterly baffled, but he could only steel himself and head towards the ward. As he walked, he muttered to himself, "What's wrong with these nurses today? Are they possessed?"

The closer he got to the ward door, the colder he felt on his back. It felt like countless tiny claws were scratching at his back, but when he turned around, the nurses acted as if nothing had happened, going about their business as usual.

Some were fiddling with their notebooks, others were pretending to fix their hair, but the corners of their eyes were like tiny flying knives, constantly darting towards him.

Assistant Liang gritted his teeth and reached for the doorknob of the ward again.

Just as his fingers were about to touch the handle, the feeling of being stared at returned, even more intense than before. He seemed frozen in place, his body stiffening slightly, and he turned around again.

Although the nurses were all doing their own work, their eyes kept glancing at him out of the corner of their eyes, their gazes clearly filled with schadenfreude and gossip.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the ward: "Jin Xiu, you're finally awake!"

Assistant Liang's body stiffened instantly, his hand frozen in mid-air as if under a spell.

"Isn't that Miss Mu's voice? But there's also..."

He suddenly remembered that the woman outside President Pei's room was also inside. This thought flashed through his mind like a rocket, instantly conjuring up a dramatic scene. A chaotic array of images raced through his mind: the beloved girlfriend, the stand-in, the domineering CEO—with all these identities combined, wouldn't things explode?

He swiftly withdrew his hand, stealthily slipped away from the door like a thief, leaned against the wall, and froze like a statue, his ears like little radars, pressed tightly against the wall, intently eavesdropping on the sounds inside.

When the nurses saw that he wasn't going in, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Why isn't he going in again? He was walking so arrogantly just now."

"Who knows? Oh my, I really want to know what happened inside. It's making me so curious."

……

In the ward,

Canglan shouted, "Jin Xiu, you're finally awake!"

Pei Jinxiu was internally screaming, "If I don't 'wake up' after all this commotion, I'm afraid you'll even hit me."

But she pretended to have just woken up from a deep sleep, and mumbled, "Ah, An'an, you... why are you here?"

Cang Lan raised an eyebrow, saying with a hint of deliberately trying to annoy him, "What? We've only been apart for a few hours, didn't you miss me?"

Meanwhile, Jiang Ciyou, whose face was bruised and swollen from Cang Lan's beating, couldn't take it anymore and pretended to faint, feeling incredibly aggrieved.

Upon hearing Pei Jinxiu's voice, she stopped pretending. With dark circles under her eyes like pandas and a swollen face, she acted as if she had just woken up and rushed towards Pei Jinxiu as if she couldn't afford to be even a second late.

Jiang Ciyou burst into tears, her face instantly covered in tears and snot, her voice trembling with sobs: "Jin Xiu, you're finally awake! You didn't even know..."

Pei Jinxiu looked at the horribly disfigured face in his arms. If he hadn't overheard the whole thing and knew it was Jiang Ciyou, he would have slapped her across the face.

He suppressed his disgust, but put on a puzzled look, pretending not to know anything about what had happened, and asked Jiang Ciyou, "Jiang Ciyou, what are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ciyou felt incredibly wronged and sobbed, "Jin Xiu, I only said a few words to Miss Mu, and she beat me up like this, waaaaaaah..."

Pei Jinxiu's face immediately turned cold when he saw Jiang Ciyou's clueless behavior.

You idiot, get out of here!

Pei Jinxiu's eyes instantly sharpened, and he reverted to his vice president demeanor. He quickly glanced at Cang Lan, who was sitting on the sofa watching them with a half-smile, and said in a serious tone, "Jiang Ciyou, I just need to make this clear to you. An'an is my girlfriend. Don't come looking for me again."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ciyou was first taken aback, then she saw the look Pei Jinxiu gave her, which clearly told her to leave quickly.

Jiang Ciyou bit her lip, swallowing back the rebuttal that was on the tip of her tongue, and could only swallow her anger. She angrily picked up her bag, turned around and rushed towards the door.

As soon as he reached the door, he bumped into Assistant Liang, who was eavesdropping, with a loud "bang." There were also a bunch of nurses at the front desk.

Assistant Liang was startled by the sudden impact. When he saw a pig-faced man crash into his arms, his eyes widened and he blurted out, "My God!"

When the nurses saw Jiang Ciyou's disheveled appearance, they whispered among themselves, glancing at her constantly and occasionally chuckling.

Jiang Ciyou was both angry and ashamed, feeling like the whole world was laughing at her. She shouted at them, "You're all bullying me!" Then she clutched her bag and ran away in a hurry.

Now that everyone knew Pei Jinxiu had woken up, there was no more excitement to watch, and they all dispersed immediately.

Seeing this, Assistant Liang didn't dare to go in. He pretended that he hadn't been there and left, not forgetting to close the door behind him.
