Jing Yan suddenly lowered his hands and saw Jiang Siyu truly standing before his bed, momentarily stunned.
He saw Jiang Siyu in a hospital gown, her face pale and her expression listless. She had been pushed closer by a caregiver in a wheelchair, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at him.
He instantly felt a pang of heartache he couldn't control. "Siyu, why are you here?"
To his surprise, upon hearing his words, the tears that had been welling up in her eyes actually flowed out. She sobbed beside him, her face like a rain-beaten pear blossom, "A Yan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault that this happened to you."
Although this was the truth, when she blamed herself like this, Jing Yan found himself unable to utter any words of accusation.
Not only that, but he comforted her, "It's not your fault. I was too impatient. Don't cry."
Jiang Siyu sniffled for a long time before she managed to compose herself.
Jing Yan tenderly wiped the tears from her face. "How is your injury? Is the caregiver taking good care of you?"
She nodded heavily. "I know you arranged all of this for me. Thank you."
Hearing these words of gratitude, Jing Yan almost believed she was moved by him. Reason and emotion waged a fierce battle within him, causing him immense suffering.
Seemingly sensing his distress, Jiang Siyu's attitude became very concerned. "A Yan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? I'll go call the doctor for you right away."
She turned the wheelchair, making a move to leave, but Jing Yan stopped her. "I'm fine. It's you, your injury isn't healed yet, why are you running around so carelessly?"
Upon hearing this, she lowered her head. "I know what happened yesterday was my fault, so I specifically wanted to apologize to you today. But I was afraid you wouldn't accept it..."
Seeing her adopt such an attitude, Jing Yan was overjoyed, feeling a mix of surprise and heartache.
"I don't blame you, really."
Jiang Siyu sat for a while, and her expression finally relaxed slightly. "It's good to know you don't blame me. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do. You rest well. I'll come to see you again later."
It was rare for the two of them to have a conversation like this. Jing Yan didn't want her to leave, but considering her injury, he could only let her go.
Watching her leave, Jing Yan's heart, which he thought had died yesterday, seemed to come back to life, beating fiercely. Previously, he had thought Jiang Siyu didn't care about his life or death, but seeing her cry so much in front of him made all his previous speculations seem invalid.
Meanwhile, Jiang Siyu, after leaving the ward, simply wiped the tear marks from her face and returned to her own room as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Siyu had also been sobered by Wei Yumeng's slap yesterday. She knew very well that when a man trusts a woman, even if that woman lies, he will see it as the truth.
And Jing Yan would definitely be the one who trusted her unconditionally.
With this realization, her thoughts became much clearer.
The person she couldn't have would not be obtained by Wei Yumeng either.
After the caregiver finished cleaning the room, she left. Jiang Siyu then called Feng Shiming.
Following Zhan Mohan's instructions, Feng Shiming brought what Jiang Siyu wanted to the hospital.
"All the project documents are here. Why do you need these?"
Jiang Siyu pretended she was unsophisticated and didn't hide anything from her. "I'm not working at Zhan's anymore, so of course I need an income. I'm very optimistic about this project."
Feng Shiming remained silent, secretly relieved. Fortunately, she had told her 'Mo Han brother' about this, otherwise the company might have suffered losses again.
"Help me do something."
Just as she was lost in thought, Jiang Siyu suddenly spoke, causing her to tremble involuntarily.
Seeing her nervousness, Jiang Siyu couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
Fearing discovery, Feng Shiming quickly replied, "Nothing. I was just wondering when you'll be able to recover."
Jiang Siyu glanced indifferently at her bandaged parts. "My injury isn't that severe. I'll be discharged soon. First, help me do something. I want to see Xin Ran."
Hearing her say this, Feng Shiming seemed to guess her intention in seeing Xin Ran. However, Zhan Mohan's plan needed to be advanced, and it required stirring the pot.
So, she immediately agreed to Jiang Siyu's request and then found Xin Ran.
Xin Ran hadn't expected Jiang Siyu to reach out to him, so he was curious about what she wanted to say to him and agreed.
Upon arriving at the hospital, he saw Jiang Siyu lying on the bed looking at documents. He pulled a faint smile at the corner of his lips. "I heard Miss Jiang was in a car accident. You must not be seriously injured if you're still in the mood to work. Did you find a new job so quickly after leaving Zhan's?"
Jiang Siyu didn't answer him. She gestured for him to come closer with her eyes. "I know you like Wei Yumeng, so you're unhappy with me. I won't argue with you over a slip of the tongue."
Xin Ran sneered. "Then I'd like to ask Miss Jiang, what do you want from me this time?"
"You like Wei Yumeng, so you hate me. I can understand that. But haven't you realized that the person you should truly hate is your love rival? And we should be forming an alliance."
Jiang Siyu's words reached this point, and Xin Ran understood her objective. He neither nodded nor shook his head, just listened to her finish speaking.
"This project will start soon, marking the beginning of the cooperation between Zhan's and the Xin family. But with Zhan Mohan and Zhan's strength, do you think you can surpass Zhan Mohan with this project?" Jiang Siyu said, pushing the folder towards him. "Women always admire men in high positions. You've always been suppressed by Zhan Mohan, how could Wei Yumeng ever notice you? Moreover, don't you also want to get rid of your fiancée? It's a win-win for both of us."
These words were within Xin Ran's expectations. He took the folder, looked at the terms, and couldn't help but curve his lips. He threw the document back to her. "So? You hope to cooperate with me?"
Jiang Siyu spoke frankly. "You like Wei Yumeng, and I want Zhan Mohan. We are kindred spirits."
Xin Ran chuckled. "If Miss Jiang can become one of the controlling shareholders, our cooperation will definitely be spectacular."
With that, he stood up and left. Jiang Siyu knew this meant he had agreed to the cooperation. The rest depended on how she could get a stake in this project.
While she was contemplating this, she didn't know that Xin Ran headed straight for Zhan's after leaving the hospital.
Zhan Mohan was handling work when he was informed by the receptionist that Xin Ran requested to see him.
After letting him up, Xin Ran walked leisurely to his desk and played the recording from his phone.
This was recorded in Jiang Siyu's hospital room. He knew that this woman wouldn't seek him out for anything good, but he didn't expect Jiang Siyu to be so audacious as to extend her hand to the company's projects.
