Chapter 45 - An Enemy Was Made (1)

Of course, she wouldn't feel bad even if something was to happen to Wang Xiao. She would only be happier. When she saw that Jiang YaGe was trying to get Wang Xiao out of the house, she came out purposefully to add fuel to the fire.

She also wasn't worried that Wang Xiao would do anything to hurt her. First of her, his pistol was already put away by Jiang YaGe. Plus, when he was running such a high fever, he wouldn't be able to do much even if he had wanted to.

Fang JunRong carefully hid her look of disgust. With a teasing look, she asked Jiang YaGe, "Is that you boyfriend, YaGe? You should have told us that you already have a boyfriend. Your dad kept saying that he wanted to introduce some nice men to you."

Jiang YaGe was so nervous that she was sweating. She denied reflexively, "No, no. We are just friends..."

That's right. The one that she likes is Li ShiZe. He looked distant but would only show her his tender side. She only thought of Wang Xiao as a good friend... Over the course of the last few days, she had learned Wang Xiao's name and his identity. Nevertheless, Jiang YaGe didn't think that was a big deal nor would she look at him with prejudice based on his past. Quite the contrary, that fact that he was once a gang member made him all the more appealing to her.

Fang JunRong's smile deepened, except her smile was only superficial. "I know you girls are always shy and don't want to admit to it."

Jiang YaGe's face was so red that it would bleed. She just kept on shaking her head in denial. She didn't want Li ShiZe's mother to think of her as an easy woman. That thought occupied her so much that she had temporarily forgotten about Wang Xiao who had fallen onto the floor.

Fang JunRong came down the stairs and asked, "Did something happen to your friend?"

That was when Jiang YaGe finally remembered about Wang Xiao. Panic in her voice, she said, "He was injured and is running a fever from infection. I am just about to take him to the hospital."

Fang JunRong nodded and said, "Okay. Let me call up the chauffeur and have him take us to the hospital."

She hoped heaven would hear her prayer and Wang Xiao would turn into a fool from the high fever. It would probably be a good thing for society if he became a fool anyway. What she really wanted to know was whether Wang Xiao would still be crazy over Jiang YaGe after what she had done to him.

Noticing that Fang JunRong didn't ask any more questions, Jiang YaGe thought she had successfully dodged the bullet and let out a sigh of relief. She was very worried about her adopted mother asking why she brought a stranger into the house.

Fang JunRong called the chauffeur over. With the help of the chauffeur, Jiang YaGe was able to shove Wang Xiao inside of the car successfully.

About half an hour later, they arrived at the closest hospital. After Wang Xiao's hat and shades were taken off, Fang JunRong put on an appropriate look of surprise. "Oh, it was him!"

Wang Xiao's condition wasn't good, and he had already been taken into a patient room.

Jiang YaGe turned to Fang JunRong and asked, "Mom, you know him?"

Fang JunRong nodded slightly and said to her nonchalantly, "Of course. He's the future son-in-law of the He's."

This was the first time Jiang YaGe heard about this. Her mouth dropped open, and she couldn't describe the emotions that she was feeling right now. He was already engaged and he lied to her...

Chapter 46 - An Enemy Was Made (2)

Jiang YaG realized that her complaint was without base. After all, she was just friends with Wang Xiao. She forced an indifferent smile on herself and said, "His fiancée must be a very nice girl."

Fang JunRong thought about He ShuHua and wanted to light a candle for the He's – having such a daughter who'd only had romance in her brain and would bring down the entire family. She gave her a very professional smile and said, "She is a good match for him."

One only had romance in her brain and the other was ruthless. They would be a match made in heaven had He ShuHua been his real love.

Jiang YaGe lowered her head. She figured that the girl must be of a high status, unlike herself. She couldn't help but feel a shred of inferiority complex. She might be the adopted daughter of the Li's, but she was still a tier below the real ladies.

Capturing all the emotions on Jiang YaGe, Fang JunRong just found it funny. She thought the one that Jiang YaGe liked was her BBQ-pork son. Why did it look like she also has feelings for Wang Xiao? Was that two-timing?

Fang JunRong continued to rave about He ShuHua. She praised her family standing, how pretty she was, and her education background. Fang JunRong didn't like He ShuHua much, but as long as that would negatively impact Jiang YaGe, she'd be very happy to praise her despite her true feelings toward her.

During this lifetime, Fang JunRong had already given He JianBing a heads up. The He's should be prepared, and it wouldn't be as easy for Wang Xiao to obtain their secrets.

"Say, how come he was over at our place? Did he come looking for you?" Even though Fang JunRong knew the truth, she'd still have to pretend that she didn't know anything.

Jiang YaGe faltered and said, "He was injured and he came and hid at our place. Perhaps he knew that he'd be safe as our place, that's why he came." She didn't dare let Fang JunRong know that she was the one who brought him back, so she had to make up something.

Fang JunRong tightened her lips a bit and said, "Is that what happened? It looks like we are going to need to replace our security guards. They didn't even know that someone had trespassed. Luckily, he wasn't some bad person."

It was only because her daughter wasn't home these past few days, so Fang JunRong didn't care that Wang Xiao was there. Plus, she wanted to let Jiang YaGe drag out not properly treating Wang Xiao's injury for a few more days. Otherwise, she would have called the cops a long time ago.

After what seemed like forever, the doctor finally finished examining Wang Xiao and came out.

The doctor with white hair frowned and asked, "Which one of you is his next of kin?"

Jiang YaGe lifted her head up. Perhaps because she hadn't had any water for a while, her throat felt dry and her voice was hoarse. "I am a friend of his. How is he doing?" She suddenly felt anxious and worried that she'd hear bad news from the doctor. She had been taking good care of his wound these last few days. He should be fine?

The doctor said, "He's not doing too well. You took him here too late..."

Hearing the doctor's words, Fang JunRong wanted to set off fireworks and rejoice.

Karma!

She then looked over at Jiang YaGe. Her lips were pale and she looked frantic.

Chapter 47 - An Enemy Was Made (3)

Wang Xiao felt that he had just had a sweet dream. In his dream, Jiang YaGe laid in his arms like waterweeds wrapping around him, making his heart beat quickly. The two of them held hands passionately like lovers.

It was so nice in the dream that he didn't even want to wake up.

Jiang YaGe wasn't like any other woman that he had met in the past. She seemed fragile but had a tough side to her. They had never met each other before and he had almost killed her, but she never looked at him with any prejudice. Instead, she had taken good care of him. To him, she was like a beam of sunlight in the dark, warm and bright.

Suddenly, it started raining. The rain fell onto him and he picked up Jiang YaGe's hand and wanted to run away with her. The dark sky suddenly cracked open and blaringly bright light came through with no reservation.

Wang Xiao had woken up. His eyes weren't used to the brightness in the room.

He felt something wet on his face ,and it was hot. He struggled to open his eyes and immediately saw Jiang YaGe's reddened eyes. Wang Xiao realized that the wetness on his cheek was her tears.

So there was someone who'd cry for a man who lived in the dark.

Wang Xiao couldn't describe his feelings, except that he felt both aching and softness in his heart. These emotions were unfamiliar to him. With the exception of Jiang YaGe, he couldn't think about any other females. That was, until an elegant female voice interrupted him.

"Wang Xiao, are you alright?" Fang JunRong interrupted the two of them staring at each other. She felt that the two could keep on looking at each other for another half an hour otherwise.

Wang Xiao turned toward the voice and saw Fang JunRong – he had met her at his engagement party with He ShuHua. But how was it that Fang JunRong looked younger than when he last saw her?

Wang Xiao paused for a second and said, "Aunty Fang."

He was still amicable with the He's and needed to maintain basic courtesy as a front. But what was Fang JunRong doing there?

Fang JunRong sighed and said, "You are ShuHua's fiancé and I see you as a nephew. Why didn't you say something sooner if you are injured so we could take you to the hospital? Now you've waited so long that your minor injury has worsened."

Wang Xiao felt like he was hit by a rock and felt a little dizziness. "Worsened how?"

His wound has been treated, no? It should be mostly healed by now.

Even though he was running a fever, Wang Xiao just thought that was caused by him catching a cold. He never thought that it could be an infection from his wound.

Fang JunRong looked at him with a pitying gaze and said, "The doctor had examined you. He said that your wound wasn't treated properly and had an infection for days. As the area of infection was relatively big, when they have the operation, they will need to remove part of the damaged tissues. They might not be able to preserve all of your nerves."

Meaning, he might be handicapped.

Thinking of that, Fang JunRong had a strong desire to give Jiang YaGe a large red packet.

"How horrible. If you were taken to the hospital right when you were injured, you would have recovered by now. Say, who was it that treated you? They didn't even perform basic disinfection and the bandages were wrapped so tightly that it had caused an infection. Lucky for you, our YaGe had found you and taken you to the hospital. It would have gotten even worse had you waited even longer."

Wang Xiao almost puked out blood. He instinctively looked over at Jiang YaGe – so she was the one that made his wound worse?

His left arm might be handicapped. All of the fondness that he had toward Jiang YaGe was all gone and possibly would continue to go the other direction.

His arm! It was all this woman's fault!

He stared viciously at Jiang YaGe. Too bad he didn't have his pistol with him, else he would probably just shoot her right now.

Feeling the killing intent and hostility coming from him, Jiang YaGe couldn't help but let out a whimper.
