Chapter 319: The More You Fear, The More You Have To Overcome
Jiang Xuecheng took out his mobile phone and saw Ah Si’s number on the display. He couldn’t help but feel shocked.
Wasn’t Ah Si lying in The City Hospital of S City now? Why did he call him suddenly?
Su Wan came near and saw Ah Si’s name. She blinked at Jiang Xuecheng and said, “Go ahead and answer. Ah Si may want to transfer to another hospital.”
The City Hospital of S City was quite far from where Ah Si lived and it wasn’t convenient for his family members who wished to visit him.
A faint light flashed through Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes. Based on his understanding of Ah Si, it was impossible for Ah Si to trouble him for such things.
He answered Ah Si’s call.
“Ah Si, are you feeling better?”
Before Jiang Xuecheng’s voice died down, Ah Si’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Young Master, I’m alright but something huge had happened. Ms. Sheng An’ning is now at The City Hospital, on the same floor as I am!”
When Jiang Xuecheng suddenly heard Sheng An’ning’s name, his eyes turned cold. What was this woman up to? Didn’t she think she had caused enough trouble already?
If it wasn’t because she had been fostered in the Jiang family for so many years and the fact that his little brother liked her wholeheartedly, how could Sheng An’ning live so happily?
“What happened to Sheng An’ning?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was cold with unconcealed impatience.
Su Wan who was standing beside him heard Sheng An’ning’s name and was slightly stunned.
Su Wan’s right eyelid started twitching. It is said that when our left eyelid twitches, it means good luck was befalling us but when our right eyelid twitches, it means disaster is coming. A premonition arose in Su Wan’s heart.
As she had been tricked by Sheng An’ning last time, Su Wan felt this woman’s ability to be evil far surpassed that of Su Yurou’s.
“Young Master, Sheng An’ning has cut her wrist. The nurse who came to change my dressing talked to me about it. She said it is quite serious and she is undergoing emergency blood transfusion.”
Ah Si paused and after some hesitation, continued to add.
“Young Master, there is some information on the Internet saying that Sheng An’ning had cut her wrist to commit suicide because she had been forced by Young Madam. Moreover, there are some groundless accusations about Young Madam being disloyal to you and of the two of you having a bad relationship.”
What Ah Si said was euphemistic. If one were to read the online comments, one would know how messy it was.
Jiang Xuecheng’s thin lips were pursed into a straight line. He darted a look at Su Wan and then slowly opened his mouth.
“Alright, I know. I’ll deal with this. Ah Si, take care of yourself. I’ll go over to the hospital in a while.”
Although Su Wan did not hear what Ah Si said, she could guess it wasn’t something good when she saw Jiang Xuecheng’s indifferent look and heard him say he would go to the hospital, .
“Ah Si mentioned Sheng An’ning just now. Is she at The City Hospital too?”
As she spoke, she looked down and her hands were seized tightly.
Seeing Su Wan in a dilemma, Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips and raised his brows.
“Sheng An’ning has cut her wrist and now the public discussion on the Internet is bad for you.”
When the man’s deep and magnetic voice landed in Su Wan’s ears, it was no different from throwing a gigantic boulder on her heart.
Sheng An’ning had cut her wrist?
Looking at her character, she didn’t seem like a person who would give up on her life easily!
Su Wan choked. At the thought of what Jiang Xuecheng said at the back, her beautiful eyes were tinged with anxiety and ridicule.
“This woman wouldn’t say she tried to kill herself because of me, would she?”
Jiang Xuecheng caressed Su Wan’s hair. “I don’t know yet. So, I plan to go to the City Hospital. Wan Wan, would you like to go with me?”
“Yes, definitely!”
Su Wan’s eyes flashed and there was helplessness in her tone of voice.
“I’d like to know what that woman is up to. If I don’t go and confront her face to face, it would be hard for me to clear my name in the future.”
Sheng An’ning was not an ordinary person now. As a public figure, she had many die-hard fans. If something bad were to happen to Sheng An’ning this time, she was afraid her fans’ saliva would drown her!
Jiang Xuecheng was silent for a moment and then he slowly nodded.
“Let’s go then, Wan Wan. Since Sheng An’ning wishes to seek attention, she won’t be able to remain in showbiz in the future.”
He had said to restrict Sheng An’ning previously. If not for Jiang Haoxuan’s pleading, he wouldn’t let her be involved in showbiz again.
It seemed now that only by completely banning Sheng An’ning could he and Su Wan have peace.
Su Wan trailed behind Jiang Xuecheng. Suddenly, she saw a pure white Koenigsegg Agera R in the courtyard.
It had a streamlined body design and it was no different from the previous model. However, with the change of color, it looked flashier. It could be detected at one glance even among thousands of cars.
Amazement arose in Su Wan’s eyes. She ran slowly toward the car and touched the car window. She felt that white was much nicer than black, probably because she had a girl’s aesthetic sense.
As Su Wan looked at it, she couldn’t help being shocked.
“When did you buy a new white Koenigsegg Agera R? Why didn’t I know about it?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s black Koenigsegg Agera R had only been scrapped only yesterday and now there was a substitute!
It was impossible to complete this kind of world’s limited edition customized car model in one day. No matter how rich Jiang Xuecheng was, it was impossible for people to make a car out of thin air!
Jiang Xuecheng could see Su Wan’s love for the car. He raised his brows and a teasing smile appeared on his handsome face.
“I ordered this car long ago. I bought it for you to drive but too bad, someone has a driving licence yet she doesn’t want to drive on the road. So, I’ll have to drive it now.”
When Jiang Xuecheng said so, Su Wan looked down. “I feel driving is dangerous. Subconsciously, I’m afraid.”
In Jiuzhou, one could take the driving test at the age of seventeen. Su Wan had learned to drive at that age too.
However, since the day her parents met with an accident, Su Wan had a phobia. It would be better for her to be the passenger. If she was forced to control the steering wheel on the driver’s seat, she really couldn’t do it.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuecheng shook his head in disagreement. “The more you’re afraid, the more you should overcome it. Why don’t you drive now? This car was bought for you.”
Learning without using it was a waste of skill.
“No, please don’t…”
Su Wan declined Jiang Xuecheng’s request without thinking. Then, she kept quiet.
In her heart, she couldn’t help but grumble how Jiang Xuecheng made it sound so easy. She wanted to overcome her fear of driving too but she didn’t know when she could really do it!
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s awkwardness, he darted a look at Su Wan, as if thinking ‘one can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear’. Then, he walked toward the co-driver’s seat and gentlemanly opened the door for Su Wan.
“Come on up.”
