Chapter 454: This Is Not Your Fault
Thinking about that person, and then looking at Jiang Xue’s appearance, he realized that whether in temperament or eyes, they were very similar.
He just didn’t dare to ask, didn’t dare to ask Jiang Xue if she was a descendant of that person. Back then, if it weren’t for that person, he might not have been in this world long ago.
If Jiang Xue really is that person’s descendant, then today he has repaid the life-saving grace once given to him.
Jiang Xue didn’t dwell on Gong Hai’s constant gaze at her but stepped forward, slightly bowed, and said, "I am grateful for Mr. Gong’s life-saving grace. If Mr. Gong ever needs anything from Jiang Xue in the future, just say the word."
"No need to be polite, rather than saying I saved you, it’s better to say I saved Ming Lan." Gong Hai waved his hand, looking at Ming Lan, whose expression was somewhat unhappy, and sighed in his heart. Ming Lan was good in many ways, but sometimes, she was too self-righteous. She only saw the present and did not consider the future.
If she really had hurt Jiang Xue just now, Gong Hai believed Ming Lan’s life would be over. This Mu Qiancheng is not a simple person, even if his identity is just a kid from the countryside.
But since he was able to bring down the Ming Family from the political arena and leave them unable to rise again, how could he be a simple person? Even those who grew up in the circle might not have his means and ability.
So he could imagine how tragic the results would have been if Ming Lan really hurt Jiang Xue.
Unfortunately, Ming Lan couldn’t see this point, and she even blamed her in her heart. Forget it, forget it, considering she has been with him for a while, he would not hold it against her.
Ming Lan gave Jiang Xue a fierce look before stepping in front of Gong Hai and asked, "Ah Hai, are you okay?"
"I’m fine, don’t worry!" Gong Hai shook his head, looking with some apology at Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng.
"How could you be fine? The doctor said it was almost life-threatening. You said it yourself, why did you have to block the knife for her?" Ming Lan looked at Gong Hai with resentment, for what he said was for her own good, she had no appreciation.
She was still blaming him for blocking for Jiang Xue, making her plan fall through and failing to harm Jiang Xue.
"Lan’er, I’m tired, you should go out first." Gong Hai suddenly spoke, and it would be a lie to say he was not disappointed in Ming Lan. Now he felt Ming Lan was getting further and further away from the woman he had in mind, he almost didn’t recognize her.
Could it be that time can really change a person so much?
Gong Hai asked himself silently, but did not notice the flash of hatred in Ming Lan’s eyes. However, Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng saw it clearly, secretly alert in their hearts.
This woman, when she becomes ruthless, is even more ruthless than a man. So they remained cautious to prevent falling for Ming Lan’s tricks again.
Ming Lan listened to Gong Hai’s words and turned to leave. Before leaving the ward, she gave Jiang Xue a fierce look.
She thought Jiang Xue was nothing but a vixen, believing it was Jiang Xue who changed Gong Hai’s attitude towards her.
"Mr. Gong, you should rest well. We’ll visit you another day." Ming Lan left, and Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue didn’t stay much longer. After bidding farewell to Gong Hai, they also left.
Out of the ward, Mu Qiancheng looked at Jiang Xue’s still swollen face, and said with heartfelt pain, "Xue’er, I’m sorry, I didn’t protect you well."
"How can you blame yourself?" Jiang Xue shook her head, reached up and touched her injured face, and said, "It’s just a little swollen; it’s nothing serious. I’ll go find a doctor to get some ointment, and it will heal quickly."
