Chapter 662: Chapter 661: Guess_1 Chapter 662: Chapter 661: Guess_1 Qiao Xiaren was in no mood to argue with Bai Qiuqing. The events of the day had occurred too suddenly and her mood was far from good. Seeing Qiao Lang crying, she stepped forward to comfort him with a few words.
Qiao Lang clutched her hand, feeling fortunate that both of them had not been involved in the accident today.
After waiting outside for nearly an hour and a half, the operating room lights finally dimmed. Doctors in dark sterile uniforms emerged, removing their face masks as they exited.
“Doctor, how’s my daughter?” Qiao Lang rushed forward and anxiously gripped one of the doctors’ clothes. Wang Yecheng followed him and quickly began to apologize to the doctor on his behalf.
The doctor, having witnessed countless life and death situations, understood the emotions of the patient’s family and didn’t blame Qiao Lang for his momentary lapse. He kept a gentle smile on his face.
“Don’t worry, madam, your daughter just suffered a head injury. A minor surgery was performed, and she should be completely fine now. Take her home to rest well, and she should be completely recovered in about half a month.”
Upon hearing the doctor’s affirmative answer, Qiao Lang felt a huge weight lift off his chest.
The couple rushed to see their daughter, instructing Xiaren to handle the payment first.
Qiao Xiaren nodded in agreement.
An assistant who had been with Lan Tiansheng and waiting outside the operating room ever since the young master had surgery was resentful when he saw Qiao Xiaren, looking at her as if she had disturbed his family’s peace.
“It’s all because of you! Our young master wouldn’t have been so severely injured if it weren’t for you! Do you know that he was almost hit critically and barely escaped death!”
Having spat out his grievances, the assistant turned and strode away.
Qiao Xiaren didn’t say anything, her emotions remained neutral from beginning to end.
Lan Tiansheng was also quickly transferred out of the operating room into a regular VIP ward. Upon receiving Si Limo’s call, Dr. Shu Heng quickly came over from his own office.
“Master Si, what do you need from me? You sounded urgent on the phone.”
Seeing Qiao Xiaren next to him, Dr. Shu Heng raised an eyebrow, not surprised, and asserted confidently, “Ah, let me guess, Miss Qiao wants something from me.”
“You’re right, Dr. Shu Heng. I want to ask you to check someone’s injuries and report back to me with the details. Is that okay?”
Although Shu Heng did not know what Qiao Xiaren wanted to find, his years of experience told him that this woman was certainly trying to confirm something.
After finding out Lan Tiansheng’s room number, he went straight there.
“Could it be possible that you’re suspicious of Lan Tiansheng? I heard from his assistant that Lan Tiansheng was supposed to talk about a construction project with Dongcheng Group today and coincidentally saw you there.” Seeing Shu Heng walking away, Si Limo got closer to her and whispered in her ear, “But it’s always wise to be cautious.”
It’s no surprise that Xiaren wanted Shu Heng to examine his injuries. Perhaps his injuries could provide some valuable information.
Because of her mother An Yuqian’s relationship with the Lan family, Qiao Xiaren was reluctant to link Lan Tiansheng to the day’s events. As much as she didn’t need her stepmother, she didn’t want to turn her from stranger to enemy in her mind.
As she thought about it, Qiao Xiaren suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
The thought of some terrifying speculations heard earlier made her feel cold.
“I’m just a little suspicious.” Qiao Xiaren lifted her head to see the man who had leaned in close. His delicate features were magnified several times, very pleasing to the eye. His long lashes were so close they were almost touching her.
Si Limo chuckled as Qiao Xiaren pushed him away with no effect, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth: “My Ranran, you’re so clever.”
