Chapter 320 Do You Know What’s To Reap Where One Has Not Sown?

Mu Zhi did not check Lu Jinye’s wound in great detail. Even though she knew that Lu Jinye’s life was not in danger, she was still worried about him.

Mu Zhi was worried that Lu Jinye could be in danger. There was still a possibility for that. Then, Mu Zhi’s phone rang. She stared at Xie Xiu’s name on the screen and picked up without delay.

Xie Xiu’s calm voice came from the other end of the phone, “Where are you?”

Mu Zhi hurriedly tried to explain when she heard Xie Xiu’s voice, “I’m at the hospital. I was having my meal outside, but a car suddenly came and hit me… then…”

“Which hospital?”

Before Mu Zhi could finish, Xie Xiu interrupted her with a question.

“The First Hospital.”

Mu Zhi’s voice was shaking.

After Xie Xiu hung up, he dashed out of the company to the hospital.

When he saw Mu Zhi in the hallway, he hurried up to her. Holding Mu Zhi’s hand, he frowned and asked in concern, “Are you alright?”

“Yes, I am. Luckily some good Samaritan saved me. But his life is in danger right now.”

Mu Zhi explained at once.

The lights of the operation theatre went off. The operation was over. Before Xie Xiu and Mu Zhi could ask about the situation, Lu Jinye was pushed out.

Mu Zhi hurriedly walked over for a look and asked the doctor about his condition.

The doctor replied curtly, “The patient should wake up within 8 hours. There’s nothing to worry about except for a broken hand and some bruises.”

But he had conducted a thorough check on his body due to his prominence.

After listening to the doctor’s explanation, Mu Zhi sighed in relief and hurriedly thanked the doctor once more.

At this moment, Xie Xiu walked over and saw the man lying on the hospital bed…

It was Lu Jinye!

When he saw Lu Jinye’s face, shock and anxiety flashed across his face for a moment.

But these emotions were just for a split second.

Mu Zhi thanked the doctor once again and followed the nurse who was transferring Lu Jinye to the VIP ward.

She breathed a sigh of relief as she turned around.

Then she updated Xie Xiu of Lu Jinye’s current situation.

After her narration, it suddenly came to Mu Zhi’s realization that she had been patronizing Lu Jinye’s injuries. She had followed him all the way from the accident scene to the hospital.

That she didn’t notice where the culprit went.

“I didn’t check the car that intended to hit me. Can you send someone to check the surveillance cameras?”

It suddenly occurred to Mu Zhi.

“Don’t worry and leave it all to me.”

Xie Xiu promised as he picked up his mobile phone and made a call to have it done.

Then he assured Mu Zhi, “You should go home and rest first. I will take care of all these things, okay?”

Mu Zhi glanced at Lu Jinye’s ward anxiously. She was obviously still on pins and needles.

Xie Xiu gazed at Mu Zhi seriously and promised her, “I will be here, trust me.”

Convinced, Mu Zhi nodded her head.

Xie Xiu immediately asked the driver to escort Mu Zhi back.

Before leaving, Mu Zhi reminded Xie Xiu, “You must notify me as soon as possible when he comes into consciousness.”

Xie Xiu nodded.

…

Five hours later, Lu Jinye woke up.

When he found himself in the hospital, he couldn’t help but scoff at himself.

He wasn’t in time to wear a seat belt, and he was not even prepared to save Mu Zhi all by himself too.

Fortunately…nothing very serious happened to him.

Just then, the door of the ward was pushed open.

Xie Xiu walked in from the door. He greeted Lu Jinye casually, “Hello, Mr. Lu.”

When Lu Jinye heard a noise, he struggled to sit up. When he saw that it was Xie Xiu, he immediately fixed a distant smile on his face.

“Long time no see, Mr. Xie.”

“Thank you, Mr. Lu, for saving my wife’s life.”

Xie Xiu didn’t refrain himself. He was a smart person. Since Lu Jinye had appeared by Mu Zhi’s side and even saved her life, he didn’t need to hide anything from him.

Lu Jinye and Xie Xiu were both smart people.

Dialogues between smart people had always been turbulent and dark.

“Mr. Xie’s wife?”

Lu Jinye asked Xie Xiu, with a smile on his lips.

He seemed to have seen through Xie Xiu’s deceit.

But Xie Xiu showed no fear. He glanced at Lu Jinye nonchalantly and asked, “Is there any problem?”

“When did you and your wife meet?”

“We were childhood friends.”

Xie Xiu answered.

Lu Jinye’s lips couldn’t help but sneer, “I don’t think I need your gratitude. I should be the one thanking you instead over your care for my wife all these years.”

Lu Jinye carried a hint of mockery in his tone as he spoke.

Then he continued gently, “Let me tell you a story for the idiom “The Dove Occupying the Magpie’s Nest”, that we have here.

“Birds like turtle doves never make their nests. They only wait for the magpies to build their nests before they force them away to occupy the nests.” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

However, Xie Xiu replied to Lu Jinye with a smile on his lips.

“The process is not important. What matters is the person holding the trophy in the end.”

Xie Xiu looked at Lu Jinye with extra confidence.

Just as the two were facing each other, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open again. Mu Zhi walked in with a thermos.

She went to Xie Xiu’s side and asked Xie Xiu first, “Why didn’t you notify me? I only knew that he had awoken when I called the hospital to ask about the bill.”

Mu Zhi tried her best to behave normally in front of Lu Jinye.

Then, she walked towards Lu Jinye and said, “Mr. Lu, thank you for your life-saving grace. I had this nourishing soup specially made for you by my maid at home. I hope it’s to your liking.”

Xie Xiu had fixed a hypocritical smile on his face when Mu Zhi arrived.

He added, “Mr. Lu, thank you very much for saving my wife. No words can express my gratitude towards you.”

“There’s no need for Mr. Xie to be so courteous. We should find out who instigated this as soon as possible.”

“Right!”

Lu Jinye pretended to bring the matter up casually.

“I think I saw Mr. Xie’s old subordinate, Rao Xue, when I was at the scene.”

Mu Zhi was serving Lu Jinye some soup when the two men were talking. But when Mu Zhi heard the name Rao Xue, she froze for a while.

She couldn’t help but turn around to look at Xie Xiu to watch his reaction.
