Hearing Jian Anning nod, Yu Zexiao finally felt satisfied. He planted another big kiss on her, then continued to instruct, "If anything seems off, retreat immediately! Lu Jiayuan’s well-being has nothing to do with us. You must prioritize your own safety at all times, especially don’t let him take advantage of you, got it?"
"Got it, you also be careful, the reporters are already on their way here."
"Don’t worry, I came in Xiaowang’s car, I’ll wait for you in the parking lot."
"Okay, I’ll come down right after I’m done."
---------------------------------
After they separated, Jian Anning watched Yu Zexiao descend the fire escape before she finally took a breath, pushed open the door, and walked out.
Over here, more and more people were surrounding Lu Jiayuan. Jian Anning felt relieved they took precautionary steps last time when they were sick and hospitalized: first, the crew had taken security measures from the start, contacting the hospital to seal off the news without letting it spread out. Second, the Hot Spring Villa where they were filming was secluded, unlike the current situation in the city center, where a slightest disturbance attracted those monkey-like reporters all swarming over. Heading there, she found herself facing three layers of people inside and three layers outside.
Lu Jiayuan saw Jian Anning approaching, and she was alone. Although he had been acting nonchalant, the light in his eyes lit up instantly.
"Excuse me, I’m JASON’s assistant, please let me through!"
Finally squeezing through to Lu Jiayuan, who noticed she was alone and immediately smiled, he asked softly, "You’re here?"
Jian Anning didn’t want to continue entangling with him and simply responded in a low voice, "Vincent is on his way, the reporters are coming, don’t talk."
Not answering the reporters’ questions was the safest approach. After all, she was not really Lu Jiayuan’s assistant; she had neither the obligation nor the necessity to explain anything for him. At most, she was there to maintain order.
The elevator doors opened with a "ding," and a group of reporters with cameras charged towards them.
That was fast! Luckily, she had Yu Zexiao go to the parking lot earlier, otherwise, they’d have been trapped here and that would have been disastrous!
The reporters surged forward, their flashbulbs firing off incessantly: "JASON, why are you here?"
"JASON, we heard you brought a woman to the emergency room, who is she to you?"
"JASON, are you and that woman dating?"
The incessant flashing lights were blinding. Faced with the media barrage, Lu Jiayuan kept smiling without speaking. Jian Anning, on the other hand, sternly said, "Excuse me, please make way, I need to hand the payment to the doctor, the patient needs immediate surgery!"
As she spoke, she raised the payment slip in her hand.
It was a life-threatening emergency, and even the unscrupulous reporters wouldn’t surround them in the hospital, keeping them from handing over the payment to the doctor. Jian Anning used this small breakthrough to make her way with Lu Jiayuan to the doctor’s office nearby.
Although many reporters tried to follow, it was a life-or-death surgery, and the doctors were rather responsible. Seeing the reporters about to enter, one attending physician instructed a nurse to close the door to the consultation room.
