Chapter 1940: Chance Encounter

Nan Jiaojiao directly shook off her hand, “No, I’m quite capable.”

She said to Xu Shu at the door, “I’ll come out right now.”

Song Yuan refused to let go, trying to pull Nan Jiaojiao back again, but unable to stand up directly, she bit her teeth in frustration, “Didn’t you say you were here to take care of me? I didn’t say you could leave, how can you just go!”

Nan Jiaojiao sneered, “I have freedom of movement, how can I not leave? Haven’t I taken care of you? Who decided that this debt, which you insist on pinning on me, means I have to serve you day and night without taking a break?”

Song Yuan frowned, “What do you mean?”

“Miss Song, we’re all old foxes here, why play this game? You should understand what I mean. Don’t worry, I’ll be back tomorrow, and until you’re discharged, but when I come and go is not up to you.”

Song Yuan was almost beside herself with anger, watching Nan Jiaojiao walk to the door, she loudly said, “If you leave, don’t come back tomorrow!”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t even turn around and thoughtfully closed the door.

Xu Shu gave her a sidelong glance with a smile, “What’s going on?”

“Repaying a debt, maybe? They’ve already sung the opening act, how can I not play along?” Nan Jiaojiao didn’t bother to conceal anything from those familiar to her.

Xu Shu had some idea of the situation, “The traffic police came by yesterday, this won’t be pinned on you.”

“But public opinion will.”

Nan Jiaojiao put her hands in her pockets, “I’ll go myself, I drove here.”

Xu Shu raised an eyebrow, “Yanqing told me to make sure you got home safely.”

“He’s being ridiculous. I don’t want to delay your getting off work, but Bo Yanching is cooking tonight, want to come with me to scrounge a meal?”

“Bo Yanching’s cooking himself?” Xu Shu seemed rather interested, “Let’s pick up Tingting and go together.”

Nan Jiaojiao replied with a smile, “Sure.”

However, Xu Shu didn’t lead Nan Jiaojiao in the direction of the hospital exit but took her for scans and a check-up. Nan Jiaojiao obediently followed directions, and after the check-up, Xu Shu handed her a gummy candy from his lab coat, telling her to wait for a bit, then went on to discuss the diagnosis with the doctor in the exam room.

Nan Jiaojiao felt stuffy inside the building, especially with the smell of disinfectant in the corridors, even the candy tasted as if it had a coating on it. She messaged Xu Shu and went downstairs to wait.

Under the century-old tree, there were still many old men and women gathered. Nan Jiaojiao went over to watch them play Yezi brand cards. She got so close that her hand accidentally rested on the shoulder of an old man in front, and when he turned to look at her, she generously shared a piece of gummy candy with him.

Glancing up, her eyes inadvertently caught a familiar figure.

She didn’t think much of it at the time and called out twice, but the other person didn’t hear her, so she followed at a leisurely pace until that person turned into a certain examination room.

Nan Jiaojiao stared at the sign at the door, reading the words on it back and forth several times.

Her expression darkened.

About ten minutes later, Lu Zhenzhen came out of the examination room and immediately saw Nan Jiaojiao leaning against the wall, chewing on a piece of candy, looking at her with a rogue-like attitude. Instinctively, Lu Zhenzhen took a step back toward the door, and then patted her chest, “You scared me! What are you doing here?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s gaze slowly moved down to point at the few slips of paper Lu Zhenzhen was holding, “What are those?”

“Oh, nothing.”

The nurse’s voice from the examination room broadcasted the next number, and Lu Zhenzhen stepped away from the door, pulling Nan Jiaojiao’s hand, “Didn’t ask you yet, how are your injuries? Did you really hurt your brain?”
