Chapter 38p2: The Young Miss in the Wheelchair 38
“The thing on your face is so unsightly. When will it completely disappear?”
By the bedside, Xi Hanran crossed her arms and stared at the scar on the side of Xi Congshuang’s face, frowning.
After a while, the mark on Xi Congshuang’s face had faded a lot, but her skin was fair, so even a tiny mark would be very obvious.
Xi Hanran couldn’t help but advise, “Why don’t you reduce the time a little? Don’t wait until you’re exhausted before you stop and rest. Plan your time reasonably.”
A scar on such a beautiful face was always heartbreaking, even if it was her own boss.
Ni An, who was eating from the boss’s fruit platter, nodded incessantly, trying to swallow the grape in her mouth. “Being injured all the time will also affect the recovery progress, right?”
Xi Congshuang remained silent, treating their words as wind by her ears.
The two of them knew that two mouths were not enough to persuade Xi Congshuang, so Xi Hanran resorted to a trick and called Chairman Xi.
The summoned Chairman Xi descended from the sky, rushing to the hospital directly from the airport. After a round of ideological work, Xi Congshuang finally agreed not to push herself so hard.
But Xi Congshuang’s image of avoiding medical treatment was deeply ingrained in people’s minds. Chairman Xi, having learned her lesson, canceled her flight and stayed to personally supervise Xi Congshuang’s rehabilitation.
Anyway, she was retired and had plenty of time.
To this, Xi Congshuang: “…” A miscalculation.
This year, Xi Congshuang spent the New Year in the hospital.
After her daily rehabilitation, the people visiting her had not yet arrived. She put on her clothes and sat by the window to watch the snow.
At this time, it was lively outside. The hospital was also much quieter than usual. The world outside the window was covered in white snow.
In a daze, Xi Congshuang seemed to have returned to the past, quietly admiring the snow by the window.
Except for the nurse who would come to remind her not to catch a cold and push her wheelchair away from the window, no one would rush in with wet palms and show her the snowflakes that had melted from their body heat.
A message notification sounded from the laptop behind her. Xi Congshuang stood up with her crutches, slowly moved over, and sat down.
She moved the mouse to open the email. The content was not long. Xi Congshuang could read it all with a single glance.
Wen Lingwang had protected her very well, and it was difficult to obtain more information about her. She could only get some details about her from a bystander’s perspective.
The news she could get now was that she was in school and was gradually coming into contact with the company’s business under Wen Lingwang’s personal guidance.
As for the specific content, there was none.
Closing her eyes, Xi Congshuang thought of the image of the heroine described in the information. After removing the gloomy and ruthless traits, the rest almost coincided with Cheng Zhishu.
She would become a person of high status, noble and unparalleled.
A voice suddenly came from beside Xi Congshuang’s hand. “What’s the use of looking from ten thousand miles away when you didn’t cherish her when she was in front of you?”
She looked down and saw that it was that red apple again. It was facing the computer and moved its wings. “The heroine in a foreign country won’t actively reduce her collapse value just because you’re looking at her.”
It was just casually teasing Xi Congshuang, but who knew that she would also agree with its statement. “You’re right.”
Her slender, pale fingers tapped for a moment. Xi Congshuang sent an email, and the two of them permanently ended their transaction.
The red apple: “…”
To have a sense of morality at a time like this.
Let’s see where you’ll find someone to lower the collapse value and do the mission when you’ve thought it through and want to find someone.
Until now, the red apple had not given up the fantasy that Xi Congshuang would suddenly think things through and complete the mission.
Besides, there were still nine years left until Xi Congshuang’s death from mission failure. As long as Xi Congshuang didn’t court death during this period, there was still hope.
Xi Congshuang had been seriously injured in the car accident. It had taken her more than two years to get back on her feet and walk like a normal person, and even jog. Every time she had a check-up, the doctor would marvel at her recovery speed.
From a situation where the chances were slim or even impossible to stand up, to now being able to walk freely, it was really difficult.
But Xi Congshuang still felt that it was too slow. Until now, she still couldn’t go very far, and she would be reminded by her monitoring watch to rest every two hours.
She seemed to be free, but she was still trapped within a limited range.
Year after year, four years had passed.
In the third year, she finally got the doctor’s approval to go on a long trip and walk appropriately, but she still needed to pay attention to rest.
Four years had allowed a cripple in a wheelchair to stand up, and also allowed a small deaf cat to grow into a triangular rice ball.
When it sat on the ground, it was like a small mountain covered in white snow, and its voice was getting louder and louder.
The stylists who were arranging Xi Congshuang’s evening gown carefully advised, “Big fat… ah, no, little kitten, can you go and play over there? There are cat treats to eat over there.”
The little girl didn’t know that the one in front of her was a deaf cat and couldn’t hear her speak. She stubbornly reached out her white paw to hook the silver tassel on the dress.
Another girl tried to carry the cat away, but who knew that Nao Nao was startled and turned over, pretending to bite her hand.
The girl let out a cry of surprise and quickly let go. Only after checking the back of her hand did she remember that it hadn’t bitten her at all.
“You scared me.” The girl patted her chest.
Nao Nao’s blue eyes stared at them with dissatisfaction. It was the king of the house. These people had invaded its territory and wouldn’t let it play with the shiny toy. They deserved to die.
Cat knocking gavel, you are guilty.jpg
Nao Nao saw the tassel moving again out of the corner of its eye and subconsciously reached out its paw to hook it. “Meow!”
The stylists quickly exclaimed, “Don’t, don’t, don’t! The haute couture will be ruined!”
A pair of slender hands reached out, held the cat under its armpits, and lifted it up. Everyone’s gaze turned to the person who had suddenly appeared.
Nao Nao was still thinking about the tassel on the dress. It lay on the slender shoulder and looked back. “Meow!”
Xi Congshuang raised her hand and stroked the cat from the top of its head down its back. “Nao Nao is congenitally deaf. I accidentally left the door unlocked and let it run out. I’m sorry.”
The crowd was stunned by the cat’s owner for a moment and quickly waved their hands. “It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Xi Congshuang then walked away with the cat. She walked a little slowly, but very steadily.
All eyes followed her until the back of her holding the cat walked into the room, and a low conversation sounded.
“She can clearly walk. Why does everyone say she…”
“She’s so beautiful. If there were pictures of her online, she would definitely have a lot of fans.”
“Alright, stop talking. Let’s get ready. The banquet is about to start.”
It was early summer again. Chairman Xi was celebrating her eightieth birthday. She was still in good spirits, her eyes bright.
In the past few years, after she had put down her burden, she had traveled everywhere, carefully looking at the places she had rushed past when she was young.
Who knew that her spirits were getting better and better? She could go up mountains, down to the sea, and even surf. Her physical fitness was so strong that even Xi Hanran and Xi Congshuang tied together couldn’t compare.
Xi Congshuang attended in a wheelchair. Her exercise for the day had not exceeded the limit, but she didn’t want to socialize and didn’t want to miss Chairman Xi’s birthday banquet. She had made up her mind to attend for half an hour and then have Ni An push her away.
Since Xi Hanran had become the CEO of the Xi Corporation, Xi Congshuang no longer had the trouble of being surrounded by people and unable to leave. She acted as a wealthy idler.
The matter of her legs recovering had never been announced. She felt it was unnecessary.
Xi Congshuang sat in a wheelchair, eating in a corner, looking at her watch from time to time. The half an hour she had scheduled was almost over, and Ni An would be coming to push her away soon.
For some reason, Ni An was late today. Three minutes after the scheduled time, she still hadn’t appeared. Xi Congshuang’s brow furrowed, and she prepared to leave on her own.
“Is Miss Xi alone?” A question came from the side. Without thinking, Xi Congshuang sped up to leave.
The person was stunned and also sped up to chase after her, blocking her way.
The moment she saw Xi Congshuang’s face, a flash of amazement appeared in the other’s eyes.
Although her legs are not good, she is really beautiful. And who said that there is no fun with bad legs? Being at the mercy of others in bed is also a kind of fun.
Xi Congshuang looked at her coldly. This woman was very unfamiliar. She had never seen her before. The frivolity in her eyes was really obvious.
She probably saw her as a target for a fling, and under the banner of soothing her inner wounds, it was ultimately just teasing her for her looks.
In these years, she had seen a lot of them, and their endings were not good.
The woman saw that Xi Congshuang was not moving and thought she had a chance. She went a step further. “It’s too noisy here. Do you want me to take you to a quiet place for a drink? I just found a place that’s very suitable for stargazing.”
She didn’t know that if she continued to talk, she would be sent to the sky by Xi Congshuang to be a star.
Before Xi Congshuang could speak, a commotion came from the center of the banquet. A familiar blonde walked into the hall.
In a daze, she returned to five years ago. She was still used to wearing a vest over her shirt, cinching her slender waist.
The young woman muttered in a low voice, “Why is someone from the Ander Group here all of a sudden?”
Xi Congshuang: “…”
After many years, she saw Flora again.
She had still come in the name of attending Chairman Xi’s birthday banquet.
This made everyone present extremely curious. The Xi Corporation and the Ander Group had not cooperated for many years. Why was she here?
Could it be that there would be some good news between the two families that was unknown to outsiders?
In fact, Xi Hanran was at a loss. She had no plans to cooperate with Ander recently. She held a champagne glass and looked at Chairman Xi not far away.
As expected, the old lady was also calmly puzzled.
Good. No one really knows what Flora is here for again.
Since the guest had arrived, she could not be negligent. Xi Hanran exchanged a glass of wine with her and chatted.
Seeing that the person had been surrounded, the idle rich second generation who had come with the intention of a fling was not interested in a difficult-to-tame type like Flora. She preferred…
She looked down, and the space beside her was already empty.
“Where is Xi Congshuang???”
