Chapter 901: 901, Amputation Warning: Boss Huo has an accident
“`
After the week had passed, Nancheng entered the fragrant August of osmanthus.
Besides the enduring high temperature that refused to drop, the Chu Family’s joyous occasion was also being fervently prepared.
Su Wanwan arrived at the Huo Family’s old house one evening, and upon entering, saw Elder Chu sending out wedding invitations.
“Wanwan’s here! Come, take these two invitations, and remember to come with Ashen when the time comes.”
Su Wanwan smilingly accepted the invitations, “Thank you, Grandpa Chu.”
“By the way, when do you and Ashen plan to have your wedding?” Elder Chu casually asked.
Madam Huo’s heart skipped a beat.
This old man Chu…
Always bringing up the most awkward subjects.
Su Wanwan continued to smile and said, “I’m about to start work, so there are no plans for a wedding just yet.”
“Oh, it’s not like you need to be busy with it. Just like our Huanhuan, she just needs to focus on studying and preparing for exams these days. The wedding is all being prepared by me and her mother-in-law. Especially her mother-in-law, she has really put a lot of effort into it this time. You will see when you attend the wedding.”
Su Wanwan was somewhat surprised to hear this.
Although she frequently visited the compound, to be honest, she wasn’t very familiar with the mother of Chu Xiuhuang; every encounter with her was marked by a cool and unsmiling demeanor. Unexpectedly… was Mrs. Chu this kind-hearted in private? She was even personally involved in preparing the wedding?
…
After finally seeing off Elder Chu, Madam Huo immediately pulled her daughter-in-law into the kitchen, “Wanwan, what do you think about the wedding?”
“Grandma, do you mean Huanhuan’s…”
“What Huanhuan’s, I’m talking about yours and Ashen’s.” Madam Huo patted the back of her hand, “Actually, your grandfather and I have always wanted to organize a wedding for you two. Now that we’re still quite mobile, we can help you prepare it. Besides, there’s no news about you being pregnant yet, so you might as well get married first. Otherwise, if one day you suddenly become pregnant, I’m afraid the wedding will have to be pushed back another year…”
Su Wanwan looked at the enthusiastic old lady, speechless, “Grandma, actually, my husband and I have already discussed this, and we’ve decided not to have it for now…”
“Don’t be shy!” Madam Huo thought the young lady was just being modest, “Look, it’s been almost a year since you and Ashen got your marriage certificate, and not having a wedding doesn’t sound good when it gets out. Although… the situation with your parents is admittedly a bit complicated, a marriage is a major event in your life, and especially the wedding, it has to be done grandly at least once to be perfect.”
Madam Huo spoke kindly, “Why don’t you think about it? You can rest assured, if you really don’t want to contact your parents’ side, we don’t have to invite them. Everything will be centered around your wishes.”
The old lady was so considerate and attentive that Su Wanwan had no choice but to nod, “Alright, I’ll think about it.”
Having heard this, Madam Huo finally smiled satisfactorily, “It’s almost time for dinner, why hasn’t Ashen come back yet?”
“He said there are city leaders visiting the company today, so he will be working late.”
“That child, are the company’s affairs that important? Having a child as soon as possible is the most urgent matter…” As she spoke about having children, Madam Huo started to ramble on again.
Su Wanwan couldn’t help but want to smile.
It’s understandable for the elderly, especially at Madam Huo’s age; not one of her three grandsons was married yet, and watching one senior after another in the compound hold a great-grandchild, her impatience was natural.
“Wanwan, call Ashen and hurry him up.” Madam Huo suggested.
Su Wanwan readily nodded, “Okay.”
…
Outside, Elder Huo was sitting in a Taishi Chair, donned in reading glasses, holding a thick ancient book in his hands.
Upon hearing her approach, he glanced up through the thick lenses.
“Grandfather.” Su Wanwan greeted him with great respect.
Elder Huo hummed a response and then lowered his gaze, continuing to read his book.
Su Wanwan didn’t dare to disturb him and hurriedly crossed the living room to the balcony with her cellphone in hand.
…
The weather was still very hot in the late afternoon, and the heat outside was rolling. Standing in front of a potted plant, Su Wanwan dialed someone’s mobile number.
It was half-past five in the afternoon, well past the Huo Yuan Group’s closing time.
As expected, the call was quickly answered, and a man’s low and magnetic voice came through, “What’s up?”
“`
Su Wanwan said, “Grandma asked when you will come home for dinner?”
“Grandma?” Huo Jingshen chuckled softly, “Just say you are the one who wants to ask, I won’t laugh at you.”
Su Wanwan was speechless, “I don’t care about you! If you don’t come back for dinner, I’ll just eat by myself and then go back on my own.”
“Really?” Huo Jingshen’s tone was teasing, “Wife, I didn’t accompany you today, are you mad?”
Su Wanwan again: “…”
“I’ll be back soon to keep you company, be good.” Huo Jingshen said, “I’m about to get off work, I’ll be home in about half an hour.”
“Got it.” Su Wanwan had no desire to argue with him.
Anyway…
When it comes to verbal sparring, she couldn’t beat him.
“By the way.” Su Wanwan suddenly remembered something, “Just now Grandma was urging me again about the wedding, when you have time, remember to talk to her about it.”
“Got it.”
On this matter, Huo Jingshen was quite open-minded.
Hearing his personal promise, Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.
**
Huo Yuan Group.
Huo Jingshen ended the call, quickly wrapped up his work, and stood up to leave.
“Mr. Huo.”
In the hallway, the assistant Ji Jie suddenly ran out of the office.
Huo Jingshen stopped in his tracks, frowning slightly at him, “Something else?”
“Mr. Huo, I forgot to tell you, the receptionist said Miss Dong has been waiting for you downstairs. I didn’t have time to inform you earlier because we were busy. What do you think…”
Huo Jingshen turned around without a word, “Don’t bother with her.”
“Understood.” Ji Jie nodded hastily.
As soon as Huo Jingshen entered the elevator, Ji Jie immediately returned to the office and picked up the phone on the desk, “Mr. Huo has finished work, tell that Miss Dong downstairs to leave.”
**
Underground parking garage.
Huo Jingshen stepped out of the elevator and strode toward his car. Just as he was about to pull open the driver’s side door…
“Jason.”
A familiar female voice sounded from behind.
Huo Jingshen paused in his action, then turned around to look at her.
Dong Manjiao came over with a smile.
It must have been about two days since they last saw each other.
The woman in front of him was still dressed in a black seductive outfit, her hair in a high bun, makeup meticulous, though there were no bodyguards following her this time.
“Are you surprised I came to find you here?”
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, “What is it?”
“Jason, since when do I need a reason to come see a friend?” Dong Manjiao stepped closer, gazing adoringly at the man’s handsome and sculpted features, “Besides, it’s been two days, and you didn’t even think to check on me? Last time, your wife smashed my back with her cellphone. It took me several days of applying medicine to heal.”
“I forgot to tell you,” Huo Jingshen said indifferently, “my wife used to practice Judo.”
Dong Manjiao: “…”
No wonder.
“`
Upon returning to the hotel that day, she discovered that her back was already covered in purple bruises.
That blonde girl had a vicious touch…
It was her own carelessness.
“Now that you’ve recovered from your injuries, you should head back to the United Kingdom as soon as possible,” Huo Jingshen said, already giving the order to leave. “Mr. Dong is getting on in years, and it seems there has been some unrest in the UK recently. As his handpicked successor, you should return to be by his side.”
“Are you worried about my father?” Dong Manjiao laughed. “If my father knew, he would be very happy. Jason, actually, my father is aware of my trip here. I only told him I was coming to survey China’s market, I didn’t mention Su Wanwan…”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Caught off guard by these three words, Dong Manjiao faltered. “What did you say?”
Huo Jingshen replied, “You can go back and report everything to him truthfully.”
“Why?” Dong Manjiao found it odd. “Previously when my father asked about your marriage, I remember you were reluctant to discuss it. Are you no longer worried that my father will seek out Su Wanwan?”
“Do you know why your father wants to find Wanwan?” There was a hint of mockery in Huo Jingshen’s smile. “Just like when he sent someone to Tibet to find Yan Shunhua, he feels guilty towards Wanwan’s grandmother. If he truly finds Wanwan… your position in the Eastern Alliance might not be secure.”
“You mean, my father might hand over the Eastern Alliance to Su Wanwan, a granddaughter whose origins we know nothing about?” Dong Manjiao quickly refuted. “That’s impossible. As his daughter, I know him best. He values power over everything. The reason he sought out Yan Shunhua back then was purely for her kidney.”
Unfortunately, as Dong Yisen’s own flesh and blood daughter, she wasn’t a match for the kidney transplant.
Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths, enduring the hardship of traveling halfway across the globe to Tibet in China, and even covertly abduct Yan Shunhua from under the nose of the Chinese military?
Did he really want to find a daughter who had been lost for many years?
No.
Yan Shunhua was just the daughter of his mistress!
A lowly Chinese woman would naturally bear lowly offspring, unworthy of entering the Eastern Alliance! Unfit to be a daughter of the Eastern Alliance!
Apart from that kidney, what use was Yan Shunhua?
In fact, Dong Yisen had indeed never publicly acknowledged that he had another daughter named Yan Shunhua.
And Yan Shunhua? She had to visit the Eastern Alliance every August for a checkup, always ready for the transplant surgery…
“You’re too naive,” Huo Jingshen concluded, then reached out to pull open the car door.
“Wait, what do you mean by that?” Dong Manjiao stepped forward, reaching out her hand.
Huo Jingshen’s brows furrowed as he glanced at the woman’s hand on his white shirt sleeve, her nails painted bright red. A flicker of impatience crossed his eyes. “Let go.”
“Must you be so cold to me?” Dong Manjiao’s eyes slowly reddened. “Since we’ve met, you haven’t even called me by my name…”
“I am a married man,” Huo Jingshen said matter-of-factly, “Being found out chatting and pulling with another woman is very unseemly.”
Last time, because he had been too close, he picked up the scent of her perfume, and even Su Wanwan noticed it…
“Are you referring to Su Wanwan? Are you so worried she might misunderstand?”
“Think what you will,” Huo Jingshen said, lifting his other hand to forcefully pull hers away.
His grip was strong, devoid of any gentleness or chivalry.
Dong Manjiao winced in pain and was forced to let go.
As she watched the man get into the car directly, his handsome profile was smooth but expressionless…
Dong Manjiao clenched her fingers tightly, the sharp nails digging into her palm, but they did nothing to cool her temper.
Indeed, when a man no longer loved you, he could instantly become heartless and unfeeling.
Today, Huo Jingshen’s attitude was like a slap in her face, telling her to stop her foolish fantasies.
But…
How could she resign herself to this?

After Huo Jingshen got in the car, he quickly closed the door and pulled the seatbelt across to fasten it.
“`
Just as the engine started, the passenger side door was opened.
Dong Manjiao just like that sat down directly.
Huo Jingshen’s brows furrowed instantly, “Get out.”
Dong Manjiao stared straight at him, “Jason, I need to talk to you.”
“Is there anything left to talk about between us?” Huo Jingshen’s tone was very impatient, “I’ve said what needed to be said, not just once.”
“I have some things I want to discuss with you today, which is why I didn’t bring my bodyguards.”
His slender, bony fingers gripped the steering wheel, but Huo Jingshen was unmoved and spoke again, “Get out.”
His voice became even colder than before and his tone more forceful.
A flash of humiliation crossed Dong Manjiao’s face, but quickly she said, “Jason, I really love you. Maybe you didn’t feel it before. That’s because I think you’re a very proud man who doesn’t like others to control your life. I was afraid that if I spoke of my feelings, you would think that I’m being emotional and would help you on personal grounds. So all these years, I’ve been silently helping you. I thought once you gained my father’s trust, we could be together openly. Who knew that you would suddenly announce your withdrawal from Yunda and hand over the entire company to Fu Xihan to manage, choosing to return to the country to take over the family business.”
“Alright, I respect your decision, and I admire your courage. After all, not every man can give up so much wealth and power. But I never expected you to actually go get married in Nancheng.”
“Then, when Fu Xihan got into trouble, I ignored my father’s advice and objections and ran to Nancheng alone to find you, to tell you about it. Do you remember? It was just before the New Year. I ended up getting sick and had to be hospitalized while trying to find you…”
“You came to see me in the hospital then, and I was truly happy. Even though you left soon after, I told myself that you still had feelings for me. So I could wait, I really could wait, and I could hide everything for you until you realized my worth… But why? I’ve been waiting for more than half a year. Why…”
Dong Manjiao bit her lip, unable to speak.
This was also the first time she had so humbly exposed all her innermost vulnerabilities and emotions.
Yet…
“Are you finished?” Huo Jingshen’s tone was cold, exuding a sense of distant aloofness.
Dong Manjiao looked at him, the fervor in her eyes gradually cooling.
“All along, I’ve only considered you a normal friend. I’ve never had any other feelings for you. I’m sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, but it was not my intention. That’s that. You’re not getting any younger; there’s no need to keep wasting your time on me.”
Having said this, Huo Jingshen tapped his fingers irritably, “Get out of the car.”
Dong Manjiao still maintained her posture, looking at him.
Her gaze was complex.
And this “oblivious perseverance” had already made the man very impatient.
Especially when the ring of the cell phone sounded once more…
He checked the caller ID on the screen, “My wife is calling to hurry me.”
Dong Manjiao’s fingers clenched instantly.
As Huo Jingshen answered the call, the passenger side door was flung open forcefully.
The woman got out and then slammed it shut with force.
On the other end, Su Wanwan naturally heard the noise, “Where are you?”
Huo Jingshen locked the car door, then slowly started the engine and spoke, “In the parking lot, about to set off.”
“You said ‘about to set off’ half an hour ago and you’re still about to set off. Don’t tell me you have a mistress outside, do you?” Su Wanwan teased.
Huo Jingshen: “…”
He cleared his throat and said, “I’m setting off now.”
Su Wanwan hummed twice, “Grandma has already served the soup. Hurry up.”
Hearing the impatience in the little girl’s voice, Huo Jingshen couldn’t help but smile, “What soup?”
Before Su Wanwan could reply.
“Is it bullwhip soup again?”
Su Wanwan: “…”
“Or is it softshell turtle soup?”
Su Wanwan again: “……”
Huo Jingshen actually burst out laughing this time.
There was no helping it, as the wish of Huo’s grandmother to want a great-grandson was virtually written on her face, every time Huo Jingshen returned home, what was prepared if not ox whip soup, then turtle soup… all of those good things that nourish the kidney and bolster yang.
…
As the man slowly drove the car out, he spoke these words to the young girl on the other end of the phone.
Completely unaware, the woman who got out of the car quickly got into the white sedan behind and then also started the engine.
From the driver’s seat, Dong Manjiao stared straight ahead at the black Mu Shang in front of her.
From her angle, she could distinctly see Huo Jingshen answering a call.
The woman’s meticulously groomed brows twisted in a sudden frenzy, and the emotions that burst from her eyes were nearly disordered and wild.
As Huo Jingshen’s car was about to go out of sight, she suddenly slammed on the brakes, and the white sedan viciously sped off.
**
Military compound.
On the balcony of the Huo family villa, Su Wanwan was just about to speak when she suddenly heard a faint sound of crazy braking from the other end, followed by a “snap,” and then the call was abruptly disconnected.
Su Wanwan put down her phone.
Initially thinking it was just a poor signal, she immediately called back, but to no avail.
“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable, sorry…”
Su Wanwan’s brow knitted tightly in an instant.
What’s going on?
Then she remembered she seemed to have heard the sound of brakes…
Could it be?
There was a moment of blankness in her mind.
And then…
She quickly turned and dashed into the living room.
“Wanwan ah, when exactly is Ashen coming back?” Grandma Huo just came out from the kitchen, holding a plate of stir-fried chives and eggs…
Another specially prepared dish to nourish the kidney and bolster yang for her grandson!
Su Wanwan clenched her phone, without speaking.
Grandma Huo looked at her in surprise, “What’s wrong, Wanwan? What’s happened?”
Grandpa Huo also glanced over.
“It’s… it’s nothing…” Su Wanwan said, grabbing her phone and rushing out.
“What’s with this child… What exactly happened?” Grandma Huo was completely baffled, “And this Ashen too, it’s past six, how come he still hasn’t come back? The food will get cold soon…”
“Why don’t you just call Ashen directly?” Grandpa Huo interrupted impatiently.
“What do you know?” Grandma Huo shot him a glare, “A call from an old woman like me, compared to a call from his dear wife, tell me, whose call would be effective?”
Grandpa Huo: “…”
His wife’s call is effective?
That brat still hasn’t come home for dinner after more than an hour since getting off work!
**
Su Wanwan rushed out of the villa and immediately called Ji Jie.
“Madam Huo…”
“Ji Jie, where’s my husband?”
The blunt questioning caught Ji Jie off-guard, “Your husband… Oh, President Huo has already left work.”
“When?”
“About half an hour ago, I’d say.”
“I couldn’t get through to him just now; I’m worried he’s had a car accident. Can you have someone quickly check it out?”
Hearing the mention of a car accident, Ji Jie immediately promised, “Alright, Madam, don’t worry, I’ll check right away.”
Su Wanwan put down her phone and walked straight out.
Since Huo Jingshen mentioned that Dong Manjiao has been in Nancheng lately, accompanied by several bodyguards, and it might be dangerous, she had come over in the driver’s car that afternoon. Now, with the driver gone, she had to go outside to hail a taxi…
Her phone suddenly rang.
Su Wanwan hurriedly picked up the call, “Ji Jie!”
“Madam, please don’t worry,” Ji Jie began cautiously from the other end, “President Huo has indeed had a car accident, and he has been taken to the hospital…”
“What did you say?!”
“The specific details are still unclear. I am heading to Nangong Hospital right now. Please, Madam, don’t panic…”
How could Su Wanwan possibly not panic?
After hanging up, she ran straight for the compound’s exit.
Until her arm was suddenly pulled.
Shi Huan’s gentle voice sounded in her ear, “What’s wrong, Wanwan?”
Su Wanwan came back to her senses, realizing only then that her face was covered in tears, and her eyes were heavily blurred.
“Wanwan? Are you alright? Don’t scare me…” Shi Huan held her arm, her tone filled with concern.
Su Wanwan blinked.
As soon as her vision cleared and she saw Shi Huan’s worried face, she couldn’t hold back any longer and cried out loud, “What should I do, Huanhuan? My husband… my husband had an accident, wu wu wu…”
Shi Huan: “…”
**
It wasn’t until she was seated in the car that Shi Huan soothed, “I just called Aci a moment ago, don’t worry, President Huo is fine, it’s just some superficial injuries.”
“Really?” Su Wanwan’s eyes were red, “But he was in a car accident…”
“I know, but Aci is there at the hospital right now. If you don’t believe it, shall I call him again?”
“Yes,” Su Wanwan eagerly nodded.
Chu Xiuhuang, driving in front, glanced at the rearview mirror. Seeing the usually tough Su Wanwan looking so pitiful, he couldn’t help but cough.
Little sister-in-law…
So you have your days, too!
Heh.
Shi Huan had already taken out her phone and dialed the number.
And thoughtfully pressed the speakerphone.
Soon, Nangong Ci’s voice came through, “Little sister-in-law, don’t worry, Second Brother just has some superficial injuries, he’s really fine…”
Shi Huan immediately said, “Hear that? Aci said he’s fine, so don’t worry.”
Su Wanwan nodded.
But her heart still hung heavy and could not be at ease.
Though her tears had stopped, her eyes remained red.
Seeing her like this, Shi Huan couldn’t help but say, “Xiuhuang, drive faster.”
Chu Xiuhuang, however, said, “A car full of women, how dare I drive fast? What if there’s an accident?”
An accident?
Hearing these two words, Su Wanwan’s emotions, which had just calmed down, suddenly became…
So Chu Xiuhuang added, “Don’t worry, sis-in-law, big bro has tough luck. Once when we were kids, we were racing motorcycles, and a huge truck came barreling in. All the bikes got knocked over by the truck, but he was fine. He even managed to weave through under the truck, isn’t that amazing?”
“Would you shut up? Can you just close your mouth!” Shi Huan couldn’t help but interrupt.
Really…
At a time like this, he’s still making jokes.
Don’t you see how pale Su Wanwan’s lips have turned?
Chu Xiuhuang’s mouth twitched fiercely.
Damn it…
Good intentions taken for donkey liver and lungs.
Forget it, a man should spoil his own wife. What if he gets scolded?
Just focus on driving.
But really, big bro, what are you doing wandering around outside in this hot weather, and just around closing time, too? Now look, an accident has happened. You’re suffering, worrying your wife, and now it’s even interfering with our eating time.
To avoid frightening his daughter, he even had to send Little Luoluo to the old mansion…
I wonder if mom took the chance to secretly bully his girl?
**
30 minutes later.
Nangong Hospital, Emergency Department.
The moment the car stopped, Su Wanwan got out and dashed straight out.
Shi Huan, who was sitting next to her, simply couldn’t react fast enough. By the time she opened the door and got out, she saw that Su Wanwan had disappeared.
“Hurry up!”
“Axui, move faster!”
“Why are you so slow!”
“I’m worried about Wanwan going alone, hurry up!”
Chu Xiuhuang, who had just gotten out of the car: “…”
Alright then.
Women indeed stick together.
I guess today I’ve completely become a tool driver, huh?
**
Elsewhere, Su Wanwan ran all the way, charging straight into the emergency room building.
After asking the reception nurse, she rushed along, bumping into God knows how many people.
Finally, in the corridor, she saw a familiar figure.
She quickly ran over.
Nangong Ci, in his neat and tidy white lab coat, was talking with Ji Jie, surrounded by two or three uniformed police officers.
“Mistress!”
Hearing this voice, Nangong Ci turned his face with a dark look and a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, “Sis-in-law.”
“How is my husband?” Su Wanwan hurriedly asked him.
Nangong Ci was speechless, “Didn’t I say it? Big bro is fine, just some superficial wounds…”
“Then where is he?” As Su Wanwan spoke, she turned to look at the emergency room in front of her.
The door was tightly closed, with bright operating lights.
One glance and it was clear that the rescue was still ongoing…
Still in rescue, yet only superficial injuries?
As Su Wanwan was questioning, the door suddenly opened.
A doctor in a white coat came out in a hurry, his gloves covered in blood, “Who is the patient’s family?”
Su Wanwan rushed forward, “I… I am…”
Nangong Ci didn’t even have the chance to speak.
The doctor had already quickly said, “The patient has lost a lot of blood, we need to transfer blood from the blood bank, also, her right leg has a comminuted fracture, she might need an amputation…”
Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan felt her vision darken.
“Sis-in-law!”
“Madam!”
Nangong Ci and Ji Jie hurried forward.
But then they suddenly realized the difference between men and women, hesitated, and didn’t dare to reach out to help.
Fortunately, Su Wanwan did not faint. She looked pale and asked with a trembling voice, “Amputation?”
“Yes!” After the doctor spoke, he looked at Nangong Ci, “Vice President.”
“Explain clearly, who the hell needs an amputation!” Nangong Ci snapped angrily.
By this time, Shi Huan and Chu Xiuhuang also hurried over.
The doctor looked at everyone, “What I mean is, the patient’s ID is from abroad. If amputation is really needed, we need consent and a signature from a family member…”
Su Wanwan finally sensed something was off, “What did you say… from abroad?”
“Sis-in-law, he’s talking about Dong Manjiao.” Nangong Ci was about at his wits’ end, “Dong Manjiao is more seriously injured; Doctor Wang is currently trying to save her.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
Shi Huan also: “…”
Chu Xiuhuang’s handsome face turned dark.
What kind of messed-up hospital is this?
What sort of ridiculous mix-up is this?
“Sis-in-law, I told you big bro is alright, do you really not trust me that much?” Nangong Ci felt exhausted in his heart.
How unreliable is he usually?
Don’t they believe anything the doctors say?
Su Wanwan asked, “Then where’s my husband?”
“Your husband is just behind here. I haven’t had the chance to tell you, really…” Nangong Ci tiredly led everyone to the next ward.
**
Inside a temporary room in the emergency room, Huo Jingshen was sitting there, with two nurses standing next to him treating his wounds.
Just as the door was suddenly pushed open.
“Husband!” Su Wanwan charged over directly.
Huo Jingshen: “…”
Everyone else: “……”
