Jiang Shuyun fell off her bike and it was a passer-by who helped call 120. It wasn't until she was alone in the hospital that she called her younger sister, Jiang Shufen.
The relationship between the two sisters was not particularly close, yet it wasn't bad either; like most relatives, they didn't contact each other much, only eting at occasions like weddings or funerals.
But that also depended on how well you were doing. As the saying goes, "In poverty, no one inquires, but in wealth, even distant relatives in deep mountains reach out."
Jiang Shuyun had always lived an orphaned life with her widowed mother, and naturally, relatives looked down on her, knowing there wouldn't be any benefits to gain from her family, no aid to receive, and if they beca too close they might even be asked to lend money.
So now, after managing to contact her niece, Jiang Yuqi, Jiang Shufen left the hospital. After all, it was just a fracture; it would heal with so rest. Why should she consider it more important than her three-year-old grandson?
Elsewhere.
Jiang Yuqi packed her luggage simply and then prepared to call her boss to ask for a few days off.
But before she could make the call, Yang Hao had already arrived ho.
"Yang, you've co back at just the right ti, I need to take a few days off to return to my hotown."
Upon seeing her boss, with whom she'd just taken a significant step in their relationship, Jiang Yuqi imdiately said with teary eyes.
"Sothing happened?"
Yang Hao paused; in fact, he returned ho precisely to start the initial task with his housekeeper.
After all, the reward was an Interdiate Industry Card!
But upon arriving ho, his housekeeper spoke of returning to her hotown and was quite emotional.
"My mother was hospitalized..."
Jiang Yuqi promptly ntioned the incident of her mother falling off an electric bike and fracturing a bone.
"I see, then I will go back with you!"
On the drive back, Yang Hao was thinking of a reason to start the task.
Yet, the opportunity was now presenting itself to him.
"What?"
"Yang, you want to accompany back?"
Jiang Yuqi was sowhat startled, never expecting Yang Hao to take her matters so seriously.
"I'm not at ease with you going back alone."
Yang Hao further explained, "Hai and Director Cai have flown to Capital City; they won't be back for three days."
That morning Cai ichen had reported to him about her work, saying she was going to Capital City to attend an official dia industry conference, which Yang Hao was supposed to attend. However, the slacker CEO naturally preferred to stay away and let Cai ichen attend in his stead.
Jiang Xiaohai, as the driver, was brought along, and accompanying them was the CEO's office assistant, Fan Linlin.
This was why Jiang Shuyun couldn't reach Cai ichen and Jiang Xiaohai earlier; they were both on a plane at the ti.
"Thank you, Yang."
At that mont, Jiang Yuqi actually felt quite helpless, but Yang Hao's words ward her heart, and she imdiately flung herself into his embrace.
"Alright."
"Let's hurry and go!"
Yang Hao patted the housekeeper's back reassuringly, and then they left the house together.
Jiang Yuqi's hotown was Henghe County in Changshi, over four hundred kiloters away from Jiangcheng.
Driving back would take about four hours or so, and the smart driving feature of the Wenjie M9 was very handy now. The driver only needed to sit comfortably in the driver's seat.
With his hands free, Yang Hao could touch the leg and the knee of the person in the passenger seat.
But for the housekeeper with symtrical compulsive disorder, it was uncomfortable because, due to the spatial constraints, she could only be touched on her left leg and left knee.
So after driving halfway, she took the initiative to switch seats with Yang Hao, taking the driver's seat, allowing her right side to be accessible to Yang Hao, who sat in the passenger's seat...
Yep, left side for the first half of the journey, right side for the second half—now that's symtry.
Comfortable!
Henghe County Central Hospital.
In the ward.
Shortly after Jiang Shufen left, Jiang Shuhui, the third sister, rushed to the hospital from the countryside ho.
As soon as she learned of her eldest sister's injury and hospitalization, she imdiately dropped her farm work and hurried over.
Although relatives like Jiang Shufen made up the majority, there were also those rare ones who offered tily help.
Like Jiang Shuhui, for instance. The sisters of the Jiang family all hailed from a rural background, but the eldest, Jiang Shuyun, and the second, Jiang Shufen, married city dwellers and naturally settled in the county town.
Jiang Shuhui, however, married a farr and stayed in the countryside. Although her family's financial situation was also quite average, she looked after her eldest sister's family reasonably well, occasionally bringing so vegetables when she visited the city.
Now, knowing that her eldest sister had broken her leg and had no one to take care of her, she hurried to the hospital in a flap.
"Youngest sister, you've made such a fuss over nothing!"
"Qiqi is on her way back."
Seeing her youngest sister, Jiang Shuyun felt warm inside, but she still politely demurred.
"Qiqi can't get back from Jiangcheng as fast as I can."
"Besides, there's not much going on at ho right now, and I can also check in on Jiajia."
Jiang Shuhui was forty this year, but she married early; her eldest daughter was already twenty, and her youngest daughter, seventeen, was studying in Henghe No.1 Middle School and lived in the dormitory.
"What did the doctor say?" Jiang Shuhui asked.
"Nothing serious, they've put on a cast already, said it should heal with a month or two of rest." Jiang Shuyun waved off the concern.
"You'll need to be careful next ti you're on the electric bike; there are more cars on the road these days, and neither Qiqi nor Xiaohai are around to watch over you..."
Jiang Shuhui cautioned while she peeled an apple for her eldest sister.
While a fracture was not a big deal, not having soone to care for her was problematic, with things like going to the bathroom and getting food becoming challenges.
With her youngest sister there to care for her, Jiang Shuyun naturally suffered less.
"And that second sister of ours, she could have at least waited for to arrive before leaving."
After eating, Jiang Shuhui tidied up the bed and table, then couldn't help but complain about her second sister, Jiang Shufen.
"Ruirui has just started kindergarten, she could have waited for to pick him up from school."
Jiang Shuyun, the eldest in the family, understood her second sister's thoughts, but she still spoke in her defense, as they were siblings after all, and the sister had co to help in the hospital, so it wasn't right to expect too much.
"They are all excuses; Xiaorong has ti to pick up the child!"
Jiang Shuhui's Xiaorong is Jiang Shufen's daughter-in-law, who stayed ho unemployed after giving birth and currently doesn't have a job.
"Every family has its own difficult scriptures."
Jiang Shuyun gently shook her head.
"By the way, how is Hai doing in Jiangcheng?"
"Has he found a job?" Jiang Shuhui changed the subject.
"He has, he's driving for a big corporation, earning seven to eight thousand a month!"
Jiang Shuyun was quite satisfied with her son's job, as she had been worried he wouldn't find suitable work in Jiangcheng, but he soon landed a well-paying job.
"That's impressive!"
"Hai is really making sothing of himself!" Jiang Shuhui exclaid. In Henghe County, salaries reached only two to three thousand, but now her nephew was making two or three tis that.
"They say Qiqi's boss helped out." said Jiang Shuyun.
"Is that so!"
Jiang Shuhui nodded, "By the way, sister, does Qiqi have a boyfriend yet?"
"I don't think so." Jiang Shuyun shook her head.
"Qiqi is pretty and has high standards; she needs to find soone with good conditions!"
"I just hope she finds a responsible man and doesn't end up like ..." Jiang Shuyun sighed softly. Her man had run off with another woman when her daughter was just five, leaving them behind.
"Don't worry, Qiqi seems like a girl with good fortune!"
Jiang Shuhui spoke to comfort her.
As the sisters were chatting, sudden hurried footsteps echoed in the hallway, and then Jiang Yuqi walked into the ward: "Mom, how are you feeling?"
"Qiqi, you're back already!"
Jiang Shuyun had expected her daughter to arrive much later, considering the more than four hundred kiloters separating them, and the fact that Henghe County didn't have a high-speed rail connection. One had to go to Changshi first, then take a bus back from there.
While Jiang Shuyun wondered how her daughter returned so quickly, Yang Hao, who was following behind Jiang Yuqi, entered her line of sight.
"Qiqi, who is this?"
Jiang Shuyun had just been discussing with her sister whether her daughter had a boyfriend, and now she had brought soone ho.
The man was tall and smartly dressed, looking quite like a gentleman.
"Uh, this is... my boss."
Jiang Yuqi didn't know how to introduce Yang Hao's identity; after all, while they had beco intimate, their relationship wasn't clearly defined.
"Auntie, hello."
"My na is Yang Hao."
Yang Hao didn't mind appearing in any particular role, he greeted Jiang Shuyun, who was lying on the hospital bed, with a smile.
"So you're Qiqi's boss."
"It was trouble for you to make the trip."
Hearing that he was just her daughter's boss, Jiang Shuyun could not hide her disappointnt, having hoped her daughter was bringing ho a son-in-law.
At first glance, though, she had a good impression of Yang Hao.
Jiang Yuqi quickly inquired about her mother's condition, then went to ask the doctor. After receiving similar answers from both, her mind, which had been heavy with concern all the way, finally settled.
"Third Aunt, thank you for your trouble."
"You've been at the hospital all afternoon. Go and rest."
After understanding the situation with her mother, Jiang Yuqi quickly asked her third aunt Jiang Shuhui to rest. She had been at the hospital for a long ti.
"Trouble? We're all family here!"
"It's not tiring just being in the hospital."
Jiang Shuhui waved her hands dismissively, then added, "As for you, Qiqi, the boss is here with you, settle him in first. I can watch over the hospital."
Jiang Shuhui was actually quite suspicious of the relationship between her niece and this male leader. If it was just a regular boss, why would he make a trip of several hundred kiloters? Their relationship had to be out of the ordinary.
Yang Hao, looking at Jiang Shuhui, intended to address her as "Third Aunt," but considering their ages weren't that different, he opted not to call her that and simply said, "We're all family here, no need to be formal."
"In that case,"
"you must be Qiqi's boyfriend, right?" Jiang Shuhui imdiately asked with curiosity.
Jiang Shuyun, lying in the hospital bed, also fixed her gaze on Yang Hao, naturally suspicious—no boss was that considerate.
anwhile, Jiang Yuqi listened attentively for her boss's response. Although she knew her boss was quite a womanizer, she still hoped that in front of her family, he would acknowledge their relationship, at least giving her so status in her family's eyes so that she wouldn't feel too awkward in the future.
"Couldn't hide it from Third Aunt, huh!" Yang Hao laughed as he nodded. He finally called out "Third Aunt," after all.
There was no helping it since the nanny was so young. But then he thought about those who had many more years than their fathers-in-law, and Yang Hao felt relieved.
At least this Third Aunt was a few years older than him.
"I knew it!"
"What kind of boss would be so generous." Jiang Shuhui teased with a chuckle.
"Third Aunt, it's not like that. It's true I'm Qiqi's boyfriend, but I'm also her boss."
"I'm very good to Qiqi as her boss!" Yang Hao said, draping an arm lightly around Jiang Yuqi's shoulder: "I'm right, aren't I?"
"Yes, you're pretty good."
Jiang Yuqi agreed with a nod. It wasn't against her feelings to say so; as a boss, Yang Hao had been flawless—widely recognized as Hua Country's top boss.
But now, as Jiang Yuqi reflected on their ti together, she believed her boss had "ulterior motives" right from the start.
Otherwise, why spend so much money to dig her out as a nanny, if not for craving her body?
But by now, it didn't matter. She was already won over by his financial prowess and his vigor.
Knowing how pleasurable that affair was, she should have submitted to her boss earlier. What was the point of resisting!
Surrender early, enjoy early~
The boss's vigor, those who've tried it have nothing but praise~!
