"Aren't you going to see me off?" Dongfang Mei asked.
"Alright!"
Jiang Yi agreed!
After Dongfang Mei got into the car, Jiang Yi started it and drove towards her home.
What should have been an hour's drive to the Dongfang residence turned into a standstill due to a car accident on the road, blocking the street.
Jiang Yi had no choice but to park his car and wait for traffic to clear.
"I heard Ye Yanran is about to give birth!"
Dongfang Mei took a deep breath, then looked at Jiang Yi and asked, "What are you going to do? The child in Ye Yanran's womb is yours!"
Jiang Yi found Dongfang Mei's words peculiar!
However, Jiang Yi quickly understood that Dongfang Mei was deliberately testing him.
"If she gives birth, she gives birth. What else can I do?" Jiang Yi replied.
"This is your first child!"
Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi and said, "I know you must be very happy, but you're afraid I'll be unhappy, so you're not showing it! If you want to see Ye Yanran, I have no objections."
"You said it yourself. After I take you home, I'll go see Ye Yanran!" Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
Hearing that Jiang Yi was serious, Dongfang Mei panicked a little.
"I was just joking!"
Dongfang Mei quickly said, "If you dare to go see Ye Yanran, I'll break up with you right now."
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Dongfang Mei asked.
"You really are a genius!"
Jiang Yi grinned, "If you keep playing these little games, you might mess up one day. To be honest, I didn't want to be with you before, but now, for some reason, I've started to like you!"
Dongfang Mei felt a little overjoyed upon hearing this.
She had been waiting for these words for a long time, from Jiangcheng to Jiang Province, all the way to the capital.
"I knew you would like me someday!"
Dongfang Mei said with a smile, "I've decided, after we take down Wan Hui Company, I will marry you no matter what. I don't want to wait any longer, and no one will stop me."
Jiang Yi shrugged.
Dongfang Mei had her own ideas, and Jiang Yi had his own as well.
In short, if one doesn't understand the other, they won't be happy after marriage, just like Jiang Yi and Ye Yanran, which ultimately led to divorce.
Jiang Yi had not agreed to marry Dongfang Mei before precisely because of this reason.
Even now, Jiang Yi felt it wasn't the time to get married.
Jiang Yi looked at Dongfang Mei, about to speak, when he suddenly saw a truck speeding towards them from the adjacent lane at a very high speed.
"Get out of the car!"
Jiang Yi quickly shouted to Dongfang Mei.
Dongfang Mei heard him and quickly scrambled out of the car with Jiang Yi.
The truck was going too fast to outrun. Seeing that the truck was about to hit them, Jiang Yi pulled Dongfang Mei and they rolled into the nearby woods.
The truck narrowly missed them, scraping past Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
This was too unlucky!
He hadn't expected to encounter such a thing.
The truck's brakes must have failed; it wasn't an intentional act.
Jiang Yi, seeing Dongfang Mei lying on the ground motionless, quickly looked down at her. He saw that she was covered in blood; clearly, during the fall, her head had accidentally hit a rock.
Jiang Yi didn't have time to think. He immediately helped Dongfang Mei stop the bleeding and then flagged down a car to take her to the hospital.
Dongfang Mei needed surgery, and he didn't have any medical equipment on him. He had to take her to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the Capital's First Hospital, Dongfang Mei was rushed into the operating room!
Jiang Yi was very worried!
At the same time, Jiang Yi felt immense self-blame.
It was his fault for not protecting Dongfang Mei. Although he had saved her life, she was so severely injured.
Jiang Yi carefully recalled the events of just moments ago.
He guessed that Dongfang Mei might not be as seriously injured as he thought.
However, it was still too early to tell; only after the doctor's examination could it be confirmed.
Jiang Yi was also a doctor, a divine physician at that, but seeing Dongfang Mei covered in blood had made him so worried that he hadn't examined her carefully.
Jiang Yi sat on a chair in the corridor, constantly glancing at the operating room door.
Now, Jiang Yi's heart was hanging by a thread.
Soon, the memories of his time with Dongfang Mei flashed through his mind.
Time passed…
And for Jiang Yi, it felt like an eternity, each minute an agony.
Jiang Yi hadn't expected to worry so much about Ye Yanran either. Perhaps it was due to spending a long time together, developing feelings gradually.
After about ten minutes, a doctor emerged from the operating room and asked Jiang Yi, "Are you the patient's family member?"
"No!"
Jiang Yi replied, "I'm her boyfriend!"
Hearing this, the doctor looked Jiang Yi up and down and then said, "You don't need to worry too much. Her head just sustained a contusion, and she fainted. She'll recover after resting for a while. It's not a major issue."
Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Liu Hong arrived with members of the Dongfang family. There were dozens of them, including Dongfang Teng and Dongfang Xun.
"What happened to Dongfang Mei?" Dongfang Xun asked Jiang Yi with a murderous look.
Jiang Yi recounted the events.
After listening, Dongfang Xun stared at Jiang Yi and said, "Jiang Yi, listen to me clearly. If she loses even a single strand of hair, I will never forgive you!"
"Shut up!"
Liu Hong scolded angrily, "If it weren't for Jiang Yi, she would be dead by now. We owe it to Jiang Yi this time. If you dare to cause trouble for Jiang Yi again, don't say I didn't warn you!"
Seeing Liu Hong's anger, Dongfang Xun finally fell silent.
"Doctor, can we go in to see her now?" Liu Hong asked the doctor.
"Yes!"
The doctor nodded.
Seeing the doctor's permission, Liu Hong hurried into the ward.
The other members of the Dongfang family also followed.
Dongfang Mei had already woken up and was lying in bed. Seeing so many people arrive at once, she felt a bit helpless.
"Why are you all here?" Dongfang Mei asked.
"We received Jiang Yi's call saying you were in a car accident. We were all worried about you, so we all rushed over!"
Liu Hong said to Dongfang Mei with a kind smile, "It's good that you're okay. We were so worried about you just now."
"You all can go back. Jiang Yi will take care of me!" Dongfang Mei said.
Liu Hong nodded upon hearing this.
"We won't be at ease if Jiang Yi takes care of her. We'll stay here," Dongfang Xun said.
