Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 300: Almost Died

Yan Zuozuo paced anxiously outside the operating room. Tong Shili offered some words of comfort, but she knew that nothing she said would make a difference, so she could only quietly stay by Yan Zuozuo's side.

Just then, Chi Moqing's phone rang. Yan Zuozuo glanced at the caller ID, hesitated for a moment, and then pressed the answer button. "Hello."

The call was from the police chief. He was a little surprised to hear Yan Zuozuo's voice, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Hello, Mrs. Chi. I am very sorry for what happened today. We will do our best to handle the matter properly. Please be patient, President Chi and Mrs. Chi."

Yan Zuozuo frowned. Chi's mother was already crippled, and Meng Xinyu was still in prison. What could be done? Even if they were killed now, it wouldn't make up for the harm done to Chi Moqing.

"I heard that President Chi was injured. Is he alright now?" the police chief asked.

Yan Zuozuo glanced at the operating room subconsciously, paused, and said, "It's nothing, thank you for your concern."

"That's good. Since President Chi is injured, I won't bother him any longer. I will definitely visit him in person in the next couple of days."

"No need to trouble yourself, it's nothing serious, but I'll have to trouble you with the Meng family's case," Yan Zuozuo said politely.

"Of course," the police chief said politely a few more times before hanging up.

Yan Zuozuo hung up the phone and suddenly thought of Chi's mother. Now that things had turned out this way, she didn't know how to explain things to Chi's mother. She stared intently at her phone, thinking that she should wait until Chi Moqing's surgery to figure it out.

Just as she was about to put her phone away, a news pop-up appeared. The headline was a video detailing the flaws in Meng Xinyu's hit-and-run case; the evidence was irrefutable, and even if she went bankrupt, she couldn't overturn the verdict this time.

The video also involved a series of illegal activities, including bribery and corruption, and the individuals involved have been interrogated according to law. Furthermore, netizens pointed out the involvement of Meng's mother, which has had various negative consequences. Other netizens uncovered information suggesting the Meng family is on the verge of bankruptcy, involving tax evasion and various illegal business operations, causing a public outcry!

The news broke, meaning the Meng family wasn't just on the verge of bankruptcy, but completely bankrupt. It was clear the news was sensational, especially since the bribery case involving Meng's mother implicated numerous high-ranking officials. It seemed impossible to keep it from Chi's mother any longer; it was just a matter of when she would find out.

Yan Zuozuo sighed heavily. If it were before, she might have felt sorry for them and sympathized with them. But now, she only felt that they deserved it, and that they weren't even miserable enough. "What goes around comes around"—that's probably what they mean by that.

Thinking back to how they framed and threatened her, she realized they were finally getting their comeuppance. Only two words echoed in her mind: They deserved it!

But when she looked up at the operating room, Chi Moqing was still inside, and a wave of heartache washed over her. For her, he had risked his life; even when seriously injured, he had smiled and told her he was alright. He would rather endure the pain himself than let her worry even a little…

Thinking of this, she felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes reddened. He loved her so much, willing to pay any price for her, his love was pure and moving, yet she had backed down time and time again, hurting and disappointing him time and time again. She suddenly felt that she was not good enough for him.

She sat on a chair in the corridor, curled up in a ball, her head buried between her legs, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing her like this, Tong Shili quickly went over, "Zuozuo, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I'll call the doctor..."

Yan Zuozuo shook her head, tears streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls, and kept praying in her heart: Husband, please don't let anything happen to you!

Tong Shili wiped her face with a tissue: "Don't worry, President Chi will be fine. He'll need someone to take care of him after the surgery, so you can't collapse."

Yan Zuozuo stiffened and quickly wiped away her tears. Yes, she still had to take care of Chi Moqing; how could she collapse first?

She never ran away again, and stayed by his side for the rest of her life, taking good care of him.

"I'm fine, don't worry." She took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination.

Seeing her like this, Tong Shili felt a complex mix of emotions.

The surgery lasted for more than two hours before the operating room lights finally went out. Yan Zuozuo rushed over impatiently, her heart pounding as she looked at the unconscious Chi Moqing.

"How is he... my husband?" she asked anxiously.

The doctor took off his mask, looking exhausted. "The surgery was successful. We can only be sure he's out of danger after tonight. Luckily, he was brought to the hospital in time. The patient's wound was very deep, almost piercing his heart, and he bled a lot. If it had been any later, even a miracle wouldn't have saved him." The doctor let out a long sigh. "We will closely monitor the patient's condition during this period. Call me immediately if there are any problems. Let him rest well. He can only be discharged once his condition is stable."

The doctor spoke with extreme seriousness, which startled Yan Zuozuo. She was terrified. When she came to her senses, she quickly thanked the doctor, "I understand, thank you, thank you."

Chi Moqing was quickly wheeled into the intensive care unit. Yan Zuozuo sat beside him, looking at his deathly pale face, feeling both heartache and anger. He was clearly in such a serious condition, yet he had carried her the whole way. This despicable man, was he deliberately trying to make her feel sorry for him? How utterly awful!

At seven o'clock in the morning, Lu Yaoyuan and Song Yutong arrived, along with Lu Zhitu and Chi Ran. Looking at Chi Moqing lying on the bed, the Lu brothers frowned.

Chi Ran gave her the food she had brought, but Yan Zuozuo had no appetite. Only after being persuaded by everyone did she eat a little. She still had to take care of Chi Moqing and needed to maintain her strength.

"Zuo Zuo, besides the Meng family mother and daughter, there's supposedly another group of people this time. Who are they?" Lu Yuan asked, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. She was about 70-80% sure it was J-ye, but she wasn't sure yet, and she wasn't sure if Chi Moqing would be willing to tell others. After a pause, she said, "I don't know."

Lu Yaoyuan and Lu Zhitu knew how much Chi Moqing loved Yan Zuozuo, and they probably wouldn't tell her this to avoid making her worry. So they didn't press her, but just frowned and said, "Don't worry too much. It's probably some old business rival who's holding a grudge and taking this opportunity to get revenge."

Yan Zuozuo smiled, but her eyes were filled with worry as she looked at Chi Moqing.

There's no point in them all staying here; the important thing now is to investigate the origins of that group. So Lu Yaoyuan yawned widely and said, "I really got up too early today. I need to go back and catch up on my sleep." After saying that, he glanced at Song Yutong and said, "You woke me up, so you're responsible for taking me back."

Song Yutong glared at him fiercely: "Get lost!"

Lu Yaoyuan's lips curled into a slight smile. Suddenly, he pulled out a bunch of keys and waved them in front of Song Yutong. "Then I'm leaving. Don't regret it." With that, he strode away.

Song Yutong, who had initially looked disdainful, suddenly exclaimed and chased after him, "Lu Yuanyao, you bastard, give me back my car keys!"

Yan Zuozuo finally understood, and smiled slightly. They really were a pair of bickering lovers. She turned to look at Lu Zhitu and Chi Ran, "You two will be going too, right? I'll take care of things here, so don't worry."

Chi Ran glanced at her and said, "I think I'll stay and keep you company. You haven't slept all night, so you should go back and get some sleep."

"I'm not sleepy, I can manage on my own. You guys go back, I'll call you if anything comes up."

Chi Ran looked worried, but seeing Yan Zuozuo's determined eyes, she could only sigh helplessly, "Alright then, you should also take care to rest. Call me if anything happens."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

When they left the hospital, Lu Zhitu and Chi Ran ran into Lu Yaoyuan and Song Yutong. Song Yutong looked smug, while Lu Yaoyuan looked ashen-faced.

"Tsk, did the young couple have a fight?" Chi Ran teased.

"Who dares to argue with a tigress? It's not like I don't want to live anymore," Lu Yaoyuan said angrily, pursing his lips.

"Who are you calling a tigress?" Song Yutong grabbed his ear, gritting her teeth. Her grip was strong, causing Lu Yao to scream, "Let go, you tigress! No wonder you can't get married... Ahhh, be gentle..."

Lu Zhitu and Chi Ran couldn't help but burst out laughing. Chi Ran teased, "This flirting is really blinding."

"Whoever flirts with her is so rude, she's not a woman at all... Ahhh..."

"Lu Yaoyuan, do you have a death wish?!" Song Yutong roared. Lu Yaoyuan felt like his ears were about to fall off. "Waaah, it hurts so much! Let go! Let go!"

Lu Zhitu laughed and said, "My younger brother is just in need of discipline. Yutong, I'm entrusting him to you. You'd better keep a close eye on him."

"Oh! Lu Zhitu, what grudge do you hold against me? You've framed me like this, you bastard!" Lu Yaoyuan yelled and accused, "You're all in cahoots, colluding with each other, I hate you to death."

Oh dear, his poor little ears.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, everyone burst into laughter.

Under a large tree not far away, Tong Shili stood beside Yi Fanxi, a slight smile playing on her lips. "You're making me more and more curious. I thought you would take the opportunity to kill Chi Moqing, but I didn't expect you to save him."

Yi Fanxi glanced at her indifferently: "The more you know, the faster you'll die. Watch your mouth!"

Tong Shili giggled, looking alluring, "What, could it be that you've also taken a fancy to Yan Zuozuo, but can't bring yourself to make a move?"

Yi Fanxi's eyes sharpened as he stared at Tong Shili with a gloomy expression. "Shut up if you don't want to die!" With that, he turned and walked away.

Tong Shili stood alone under the tree, coldly staring at Yi Fanxi's retreating figure. What was so special about Yan Zuozuo that made so many men fawn over her?

She sneered, her fists clenched tightly, a shadow of gloom flashing in her eyes.

In the ward, Yan Zuozuo held Chi Moqing's hand tightly, her heart aching. The doctor said he was seriously injured, how could he not know that? Yet he still tried so hard to protect her. What a fool, such a big fool!

Remembering how he carried her and comforted her, she couldn't help but start crying again. Tears fell onto the sheets, leaving wet stains.

If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been so badly injured.

If she can protect herself, she won't implicate him.

It's all her fault for being so stupid, always causing him to get hurt...
