MY VERY BRAVE WIFE
Chapter 11
When the man returned, there were two nurses following him.
The whole process is very fast. After a few questions and tests confirming that Zhao Lifei was actually, AB negative, they disinfected the area, prepared Zhao Lifei and started to bleed out.
After two pints of blood, one of the nurses pulled out a needle and placed it on the cart. "Alright, you're all okay to go." The nurse smiled.
Zhao Lifei stood up to say goodbye to the nurse, but she felt sleepy. The world seemed to be swaying from side to side and his gaze started to blur.
"Feifei, are you okay?" Yang Ruqin frowned. His eyebrows fused together out of worry.
"I-I'm fine." Zhao Lifei lied, her voice sounding tired and weak.
The nurse quickly realized the situation. They took too much blood from him!
"This ma'am, drink some green juice and apple slices from the hospital cafeteria. It'll help you overcome your sleepiness." The nurse gave him a glass of green liquid and a plate of apples.
"Thank you." Zhao Lifei said, taking the food offered to him. He sat back down to quietly chew and drink the juice.
"We're going to start the operation now." The nurse said, pushing the blood into a different room. After a few minutes, the operation signal is on.
Yang Ruqin sat in her chair, nervously biting her lower lip while patiently waiting for the operation to be completed.
Zhao Lifei noticed how anxious Yang Ruqin was. He wiggled one of his legs and tapped a finger on his thigh. Knowing it was best to divert Yang Ruqin's mind, Zhao Lifei decided to investigate and ask a question.
"Mm, Qinqin, you never told me who that brother was. Is that the first or second brother?" Zhao Lifei asked, sipping his juice and eating the fruit
"Surprisingly, it's Feng-ge ..." Yang Ruqin sighed.
'Feng-ge...?' Zhao Lifei felt a light buzz in his head. That name sounds so familiar. Where'd he heard it before?
Zhao Lifei had known Yang Ruqin since they were babies, but she had no recollection of ever meeting Yang Ruqin's older brother, considering he was a little older than them.
"Reports claim it was a car accident, but my parents started a government investigation ... They thought it was an assassination attempt." Yang Ruqin played her finger. His usual cheerful and energetic voice sounded gentle and calm.
Zhao Lifei felt his heart clench at Yang Ruqin's state. He leaned closer and hugged her to the side so that Yang Ruqin leaned her head on Zhao Lifei's shoulder.
"I-I know I don't have to worry because assassination attempts always happen to the rich and powerful. But none of them have ever been this close."
Being a multi-billion business tycoon at the young age of twenty-seven, brother Yang Ruqin was already used to all sorts of attacks against him. He was usually ready, but this time, he was off guard.
"W-what if, next time, those assassins succeed?" Yang Ruqin was so shaken at the thought of it, she could barely speak properly.
Zhao Lifei hugged Yang Ruqin even tighter. "Qinqin, that's never going to happen. Your brother has a military and underground network of one call. Whoever did that to him is lucky he's bothered by a very important contract deal."
"But what if-"
"There's nothing if. Trust your brother." Zhao Lifei knew Yang Ruqin was the type of person who thought too much about the situation. It is best to shoot him down so that he does not jump to new conclusions within a span of five seconds.
Just when Zhao Lifei said that, the operating light flickered. A doctor and a nurse came out of the room. Both stood up immediately. When the doctor bowed respectfully, Yang Ruqin and Zhao Lifei also bowed.
"Doctor, how's he doing?" Yang Ruqin asked worriedly.
The doctor smiled, "The condition is very stable. His operation was a great success and he had to wake up in 2-3 days."
"You can visit him in the VVIP ward assigned by the hospital chief." The doctor nodded towards the nurse who stepped forward as a guide.
It was not something that could be bought with money or status, but elder brother Yang Ruqin could easily and effortlessly enter.
When they step into the room, most people will be surprised or fascinated by the magnificent room. However, Zhao Lifei and Yang Ruqin were famous socialites. They grow in wealth; no one ever bothers them.
The nurses were surprised to see their indifferent and gentle expressions. Most people, regardless of their wealth or standing, would at least be slightly impressed by the gorgeous rooms suitable for the royal family.
The ward of the VVIP hospital looked like one of the luxurious rooms in Buckingham Palace, yet these women stood there, completely unaffected!
Yang Ruqin's brother was pushed into the room and laid on the bed. After he stabilized and connected to the device, everyone left the room.
Just when the door was closed, Zhao Lifei's phone rang. The name "Wang Nuoli" appears. Yang Ruqin looked at the caller and frowned. "Take it, let's see what the Wicked Witch of the West wants."
Zhao Lifei picked up the phone and placed it on the speaker. Suddenly, his mother's cold voice sounded.
"Well?! Are you coming or not? Why are you ignoring my message?!" Once again, Wang Nuoli was out of his mind. He had been sending SMS to Zhao Lifei all day, but got no reply!
"Mom, I'm busy and busy with something important." Zhao Lifei checked her phone and realized that it was active 'don't be bothered'. When he turned off the settings, 30 texts flooded his phone.
"Busy and busy?! Your family should come first, you brash girl!" A vein emerged from Wang Nuoli's forehead.
Yang Ruqin scowled at the tone of the woman. There had never been a time where Wang Nuoli spoke well to his Feifei, and it was beginning to upset Yang Ruqin.
"What do you mean call me? Just go straight, Mom. I have something urgent." Zhao Lifei glanced at Yang Ruqin's stormy expression.
"Non hospitalization, I haven't started my college—"
"Your lecture's ten years late." Zhao Lifei shot out, his words as sharp as a knife.
Wang Nuoli took a deep breath. He calmed himself down and reminded himself that he was talking to Zhao Lifei for the sake of his precious daughter, Zhao Linhua.
"Your beloved sister's birthday is a few days away. Are you coming or not?" Wang Nuoli is disturbing.
Suddenly, a plan appeared in Yang Ruqin's head.
Zhao Lifie pursed her lips. "I'm not—"
Yang Ruqin snatched her phone, "She's gone."
And without waiting for Wang Nuoli's reply, Yang Ruqin hung up the phone. Zhao Lifei jerked. He could not believe Qinqin had just done that to him! Is Yang Ruqin crazy? Did he forget to take his medicine this morning?!
"Qinqin, are you crazy?! Why did you throw me into the tiger's den?" Zhao Lifei frowned, furiously crossing her hands.
"Feifei, I wouldn't have done that without a bigger plan." Yang Ruqin chuckled, a dark and mischievous grin formed on her face.
Zhao Lifei's frown deepened. She hated when Yang Ruqin smiled like that because that smile always meant she was being unkind.
"We both know that bastard Zheng Tianyi and fool Xia Mengxi must have been there because Zhao Linhua was their biggest supporter." Yang Ruqin drew up her plan.
"Although I hate to say it, Zheng Tianyi's reputation is the highest. There are only a handful of men in this country who can surpass him. And coincidentally, my outstanding brother with a better surname than Zheng, Yang Yulong happened to be free on the night of Zhao Linhua's birthday!" Yang Ruqin happily clapped her hands.
Zhao Lifei frowned. He doesn't like where this plan is going...
"I can make Yang Yulong your date for his banquet!" Yang Ruqin said happily, her eyes twinkling at the chance of slapping Zheng Tianyi's face.
