Chapter 195 Co-op
Chapter 195 Co-op
Zhou Jiefang and Wen Yunfang both secretly marveled at how well they could be in sync.
And so they chatted on and on with great interest until night fell and the stars outside the window gradually lit up, and they were surprised to find that so much time had passed.
However, they did not feel tired at all at this moment. Instead, they felt a sense of regret that they had not had enough and that they had met too late.
Just then, as if suddenly remembering something, Zhou Jiefang said with a smile:
"Oh dear, look at my memory! You can drink some water and soup now, so be sure to tell me if you feel thirsty."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Jiefang quickly got up, walked to the side with deft movements, picked up the kettle, and poured a full cup of warm water for Wen Yunfang.
Then, he carefully reached out his hand, intending to gently help Wen Yunfang to a semi-sitting position so that she could drink water more comfortably.
However, even the slightest movement caused Wen Yunfang to feel an unbearable, sharp pain coming from the incision.
Seeing this, Zhou Jiefang dared not delay any longer, and quickly put Wen Yunfang back in a supine position, and asked with concern:
"Does it hurt a lot? If it's really too much, let's not sit up for now."
Then, he carefully washed the spoon that Zhao Yuan had brought, scooped up a small spoonful of water, gently brought it to Wen Yunfang's lips, and said softly:
"Here, slowly drink some water to moisten your throat."
And so, Zhou Jiefang patiently fed Wen Yunfang water spoonful by spoonful. At this moment, perhaps because her body was still relatively weak, or perhaps because she felt Zhou Jiefang's meticulous care, a faint blush appeared on Wen Yunfang's cheeks.
Just as Zhou Jiefang was focused on feeding Wen Yunfang soup, a series of footsteps approached from afar outside the quiet ward.
The sound grew clearer and clearer, and then, with a creak, the door was suddenly pushed open, and two tall and imposing figures appeared in the doorway.
"elder brother……"
Wen Yunfang recognized the person at a glance, her eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she cried out in a choked voice.
It turned out that the two men who entered the ward were Wen Yunfang's two older brothers.
The two men were both burly and imposing. As soon as they entered the room, they both stared at Zhou Jiefang with wary eyes, seemingly suspicious of the intimate behavior between the stranger and their sister.
"Brother, this is Zhou Jiefang, a man from Beijing. He and his boss took me to the hospital and have been with me ever since. They are my saviors! If I hadn't run into them today, I probably wouldn't be alive today!"
Wen Yunfang lowered her voice, her words filled with gratitude and lingering fear.
"Wen Yunfang, you're exaggerating. We only took you to the hospital; it was the medical staff who saved you."
Zhou Jiefang said with a smile.
At this moment, the older of the two men standing to the side stepped forward, extended his right hand towards Zhou Jiefang, and said sincerely:
"Mr. Zhou, we really don't know how to thank you enough! Thanks to your help today, my sister and I will always remember this kindness! How about this, I'll take you home first, and once my sister has recovered a bit, my sister and I will definitely come to your door to express our gratitude in person!"
Upon seeing this, Zhou Jiefang quickly extended his hand to shake hands with the other person and replied with a smile:
"You're too kind! In that critical moment, anyone would have helped. Getting your sister to the hospital safely is what we should do. It's just that it happened so suddenly, and we couldn't find your family members right away, so we had to stay and take care of her for the time being."
As they spoke, Zhou Jiefang sensed that Wen Yunfang's brother still seemed somewhat wary of him, as the other man was subtly increasing the pressure on his grip.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yunfang quickly added:
"Brother, there's something else I need to tell you. The entire cost of this surgery was covered by Zhou Jiefang and his boss!"
Upon hearing this, the elder brother looked surprised and quickly asked:
"Oh? How much did you pay in total? I'll pay you back."
Zhou Jiefang calmly took a receipt from his bag and handed it to the man in front of him, explaining:
"The total is 400 yuan. Here is the receipt for the payment. Please keep it safe."
The older brother expressionlessly reached out and steadily caught the receipt. Then, he slowly opened his bag and took out four brand-new 100-yuan bills, gently placing them in Zhou Jiefang's hand.
Zhou Jiefang awkwardly accepted the money and put it into his bag.
"Then...then I'll go back first. Wen Yunfang, you should rest well and recover soon."
Zhou Jiefang raised his head, his gaze met Wen Yunfang's for a moment before he quickly looked away and said in a low voice.
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door with slightly hurried steps.
"and many more!"
Just then, Wen Yunfang called out to him.
Wen Yunfang smiled and said:
"Zhou Jiefang, come here, let me introduce you. This is my eldest brother, Wen Haifeng, and this is my second brother, Wen Haibo."
Upon hearing Wen Yunfang's introduction, Zhou Jiefang immediately stopped, turned to face the two men, forced a polite yet restrained smile, and said softly:
"Hello, it's nice to meet you."
At this moment, the eldest brother, Wen Haifeng, looked Zhou Jiefang up and down, his eyes revealing an indescribable expression.
After a moment, he put on a stern face and said in a deep, slightly authoritative voice:
"It's so late, it's inconvenient for you to go home alone, let me take you home."
Zhou Jiefang looked up at the pitch-black night outside the window and pondered to himself:
Indeed, as he said, it was quite late, and the buses outside had probably already stopped running. Thinking of this, he nodded gratefully and replied:
"Then trouble you."
So, Wen Haifeng and Zhou Jiefang walked down the stairs together.
A black sedan was parked downstairs. Wen Haifeng opened the car door and gestured for Zhou Jiefang to get in.
After Zhou Jiefang was seated, Wen Haifeng started the car and slowly drove out of the hospital, heading towards Zhao Yuan's small villa.
The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat somber throughout the journey.
Wen Haifeng broke the silence first and began to inquire about Zhou Jiefang's personal situation.
Faced with a series of questions from Wen Haifeng, Zhou Jiefang was initially a little nervous, but seeing that the other party had no ill intentions, he gradually relaxed and answered truthfully.
When Wen Haifeng learned that Zhou Jiefang was actually an employee of the "Zhaoshi Group", his tense expression relaxed slightly.
Clearly, this information caused a subtle change in his attitude towards Zhou Jiefang.
