"What do you mean!" Qiu Ruolan gritted her teeth and shouted softly in anger.
"Next month's Board of Directors meeting in HK, I hope Sister Qiu can lend me a hand..." Qiu Hai sneered, raising an eyebrow as he continued, "I'll come visit Sister Qiu in a bit!"
With that, Qiu Hai turned and walked towards the elevator at the end of the corridor.
Qiu Ruolan stared blankly at the disappearing figure of Qiu Hai, filled with confusion and unable to verify anything.
Of course, after the shareholders' meeting, Qiu Ruolan would realize that Qiu Hai's support meant having Autumn Wind choose him as chairman.
That's why when Autumn Wind had cast her a questioning glance earlier, she remained silent.
As for Qiu Ruolan's 180-degree change in attitude towards Liu Jian, it was because...
Qiu Ruolan leaned against the bench, despairingly watching the lights of the emergency room. After a long and torturous wait, Autumn Wind was wheeled out.
Under the light blue sheets lay a pale face. "Doctor, is she okay..."
The Attending Physician looked up while signing and recognized Qiu Ruolan. He removed his mask and said, "It's Sister Qiu. Don't worry, the surgery was very successful. She'll be observed in the Intensive Care Unit for four hours. If everything is normal, she can be transferred to a regular ward..."
"Okay..." In her daze, Qiu Ruolan watched as Autumn Wind was pushed away by the nurses.
Qiu Ruolan followed closely, arriving at the entrance of the Intensive Care Unit. She paced back and forth anxiously, hoping that when the doctor came out, he would provide more information.
Just then, Liu Jian hurried over.
"Why are you only coming now..." Qiu Ruolan shouted at Liu Jian. However, upon seeing Liu Jian's attire, her words trailed off.
"How is Autumn Wind?" Liu Jian asked urgently.
Qiu Ruolan's heart instantly turned cold. She looked at Liu Jian with a frosty gaze and did not answer him, instead asking, "Did you come from the office?"
Liu Jian nodded.
A cold sneer escaped Qiu Ruolan's nose. "So it's the office, huh? You really have it tough!"
"Sister Sally, why are you like this..." Liu Jian was puzzled by Qiu Ruolan's attitude. "Did I do something wrong?" He glanced at himself.
When he saw the red lipstick mark on his collar, a chill ran down Liu Jian's back. "Sister Sally, listen to me, it's not what you think!"
Another cold laugh followed. "What do you mean by 'not what you think'?" Qiu Ruolan's eyes glinted with a sharp coldness. "Autumn Wind is lying in a pool of blood, and what were you doing... Don't tell me there's no connection between the two. I warn you, if anything happens to Autumn Wind, I won't let you off..."
After saying this, Qiu Ruolan stopped looking at Liu Jian. She leaned against the door of the Intensive Care Unit, quietly listening to the sounds inside.
Liu Jian's face changed from red to purple, then turned pale.
The door of the ICU opened, and a doctor came out. Seeing Qiu Ruolan's anxious expression, he comforted her, "Sister Qiu, don't worry. The patient's condition is stable now; you can rest assured..."
Qiu Ruolan sighed deeply. "Then what can I do now?"
"Prepare some daily necessities. Post-operative care is more important than the surgery itself..."
"Doctor, are you saying..."
"The patient's brain has suffered impact; it may... Anyway, please be mentally prepared!" The doctor's gaze swept over Qiu Ruolan and then landed on Liu Jian. He noticed the red lipstick mark on Liu Jian's collar and frowned slightly. "When the patient wakes up, make sure to keep her mood stable and avoid anything or anyone that might stimulate her emotions as much as possible..."
Qiu Ruolan nodded to indicate she understood.
"There are nurses here; you can go home and prepare some daily necessities..." The doctor looked at Qiu Ruolan seriously and then slightly bowed before leaving the Intensive Care Unit.
Qiu Ruolan watched the doctor leave, sighed deeply, and got up to walk toward the elevator.
"Sister Sally, Sister Sally, what am I supposed to do now..." Liu Jian rushed into the elevator.
The red lipstick mark on Liu Jian's shirt collar caught Qiu Ruolan's eye. She let out a "humph" from her nose and turned her head to look the other way.
Until the elevator reached the parking lot on the basement level, Qiu Ruolan did not acknowledge Liu Jian.
"Sister Sally, please tell me how Autumn Wind is doing?" Liu Jian chased out of the elevator.
Qiu Ruolan stopped in her tracks due to Liu Jian's pull. She turned her face to look at Liu Jian, finally focusing on that red lipstick mark. Just as she was about to speak, her phone rang.
Sliding her phone open, she saw a message from Liu Jiajia: Sister Sally, just now a reporter from Fruit Daily caught Liu Jian and Jolie kissing passionately in the parking lot, and Autumn Wind saw it. They want to know how Autumn Wind is doing right now...
Jolie? Qiu Ruolan frowned slightly, desperately searching for this name. Wasn't she the woman who had been fooling around with Yao Guanghao at her villa? Liu Jian rekindled an old flame with her...
Qiu Ruolan's expression darkened further.
Liu Jian noticed Qiu Ruolan's grim face and grabbed her clothing, anxiously asking, "Please tell me how Autumn Wind is doing! How is the child?"
Liu Jian's seemingly innocent demeanor completely infuriated Qiu Ruolan. She shook off Liu Jian's hand that was gripping her clothes and raised her arm, slapping Liu Jian across the face. "The child... you still ask about the child! What have you done with Jolie! Let me tell you, Liu Jian, if anything happens to Autumn Wind, I will never let you go..."
The slap echoed sharply against Liu Jian's face, leaving him stunned. He covered his face and fell silent, vaguely sensing that he had lost any chance with Autumn Wind.
Qiu Ruolan slowly started the car. As she passed by Liu Jian, she extended her middle finger toward him and gritted her teeth, saying, "Listen to me; I don't want Autumn Wind to wake up and see things he shouldn't see. You better get as far away as you can..."
The car sped away, leaving Liu Jian standing in despair in the darkness, his body sinking endlessly into an abyss from which he could never climb back up.
Qiu Hai and Qiu Ruolan, as well as Liu Jian and Qiu Ruolan, were all confronting each other in the slumber of Autumn Wind.
When Autumn Wind awoke, what greeted her was the endless quarrel between Qiu Ruolan and Liu Jian, along with Qiu Ruolan's pent-up anger with no outlet.
When Qiu Hai referred to himself as the so-called "savior" in the elevator, Autumn Wind was naturally filled with confusion; she searched her mind but could not find any connection between herself and Qiu Hai.
Sitting in the comfortable car, Autumn Wind finally couldn't contain her curiosity and gently nudged Qiu Ruolan, whispering, "What does that saving grace refer to?"
Upon hearing Autumn Wind's question, Qiu Ruolan tensed up, not because the answer was difficult, but because she feared that her words might upset Autumn Wind.
After racking her brain for three days, Qiu Ruolan softly articulated, "It should be about him taking you to the hospital, right?"
"He took me to the hospital?" Autumn Wind retorted.
Qiu Ruolan nodded gently and widened her eyes to look at Autumn Wind.
"Sister Sally, you forgot that Autumn Wind has amnesia!" The fish in the front seat was unaware that Qiu Ruolan had already seen through Autumn Wind's amnesia trick and quickly covered for her.
Noticing the fish's intention, Autumn Wind smiled at her, "Oh, maybe I forgot..."
After that, silence fell again in the car. Once they entered the Villa Area, Qiu Ruolan suddenly spoke up, "Is the fish in a hurry to go home?"
"Me? Not really. Oke is swimming with my dad; he probably won't be back until tonight! Sister Sally, you..." With her emotional intelligence, the fish could naturally guess at the implications of Qiu Ruolan's words.
"Well, there's a banquet for the HK Shareholder tonight. I wanted to ask you to help me with Autumn Wind..."
"Sure, no problem!" Before Qiu Ruolan could finish her sentence, the fish readily agreed. She winked at Autumn Wind, looking determined.
Qiu Ruolan nodded in gratitude towards the fish.
When the group returned to the villa, Qiu Hai's home was still quiet. It seemed that the other shareholders had gone out for dinner together, so Qiu Hai was likely among them.
Sister Liu had already received a call from Old Liu. As soon as Autumn Wind and the others entered the house, she brought the warm dishes to the table.
Autumn Wind glanced around and noticed that all the dishes seemed to be Shandong Cuisine. She swallowed and sincerely said, "Thank you, Sister Liu!" It was clear that Sister Liu, who only knew how to cook Minnan cuisine, had specifically learned this.
"Sister, I'm glad you like it!" Hearing Autumn Wind's words, Sister Liu's cheeks flushed as she gazed at her.
After dinner, Qiu Ruolan called Autumn Wind into her room and pointed to the clothes in her wardrobe. "Choose one for yourself!"
Autumn Wind reached out and ran her fingers over the luxurious dresses, then looked up and asked, "Did you bring all the ones from your apartment?"
"No, just part of them..." She stepped back and sat on a stool, raising her chin to indicate that Autumn Wind could pick. "If you really can't decide, you can let Yu help you choose! After all, Yu is a professional!"
Hearing this from Qiu Ruolan, Autumn Wind took a few steps back as well. "Alright then, dear Yu, I’ll leave it to you!"
Upon hearing Autumn Wind's words, Yu stepped forward and glanced over Qiu Ruolan's rack of clothes. She picked out two pieces: one was a black long slip dress with an off-shoulder design, and the other was a color-blocked long skirt with a royal blue hem and a black off-the-shoulder top.
"This one!" Autumn Wind jumped in front of Yu and confidently took the color-blocked long skirt.
Qiu Ruolan frowned slightly. "Do you think wearing that to the banquet is too informal?"
"It won't be! Besides, aren't you deciding on royal blue? I love bold colors! Don't worry, Yu will help me tonight!"
Autumn Wind twirled around with the long skirt in her arms. "Don't you think this dress exudes an artistic vibe of the city?"
Qiu Ruolan rolled her eyes. Although she didn't agree with Autumn Wind's taste, she didn't say much. "Yu, please help Autumn Wind with her hair and makeup!"
Yu nodded, took the dress from Autumn Wind's hands, and walked toward Autumn Wind's room with her makeup kit.
After Fish walked out of Qiu Ruolan's room, Autumn Wind also headed towards the door. She glanced at Qiu Ruolan's clothes again, frowning slightly, "Why don't you take all your clothes with you?"
"Why should I take them all? Once your body has fully recovered, I still need to return to my own apartment. Sigh, I really can't get used to living in such a big house!" Qiu Ruolan stood up and began to pick out her clothes.
"Return to the apartment? I want to go back too!" Autumn Wind immediately said after Qiu Ruolan finished.
"You should just forget about it. Ervin left everything for you; just enjoy yourself here!" Qiu Ruolan waved her hand, pointing at the ceiling.
"You mean, this is his?" Autumn Wind stood at the door in shock.
"What do you think! Alright, stop overthinking it and hurry up with your packing!" Qiu Ruolan waved her hand. "Oh, by the way, Qiu Hai and Ervin are high school classmates; maybe you two can become good friends!"
"Okay!" Autumn Wind nodded and exited Qiu Ruolan's room. She was shocked to know that the villa belonged to Qiu Mowen and did not hear Qiu Ruolan's last sentence.
As she slowly walked to her own room, she suddenly remembered that Qiu Ruolan had mentioned that Qiu Hai and Ervin were good friends.
