My Ares Son-in-Law

"Thank you!" Jiang Xuanxuan nodded. "I'll remember what you said... But, will we ever see each other again?"

Xiao Chen didn't say anything, he just waved his hand and disappeared into the night.

Jiang Xuanxuan sighed; the other party still refused to reveal their identity to her.

As soon as Xiao Chen left, the ambulance arrived, and Jiang Xuanxuan was taken directly to the emergency ward of the First People's Hospital of the provincial capital.

The attending physician stared in disbelief at the CT scan of Jiang Xuanxuan's leg, as if he had witnessed something supernatural.

"Ms. Jiang, if I may ask, who treated your wounds before the ambulance arrived?" the doctor couldn't help but ask.

“A kind passerby treated my wound; he seemed to be a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner,” Jiang Xuanxuan said after thinking for a moment.

She promised to keep Xiao Chen's secret, so she told a little lie.

"A passerby? A traditional Chinese medicine practitioner?" The doctor nodded secretly. "Ms. Jiang, the way your leg wound was stopped is extremely special. It's neither conventional pressure nor medication, but rather precise acupressure to block the meridians and stop the bleeding."

"I have practiced medicine in China for twenty years and visited major hospitals. I have never seen or even heard of this kind of magical technique."

"What's even more amazing is that the tissue around your wound is healing at an abnormally fast pace. The quadriceps muscle was pierced by a sharp instrument, and the muscle fibers were completely torn. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least two weeks to begin to heal."

"But now, the new muscle fibers at your wound site are spontaneously and rapidly connecting and fusing. At this rate of recovery, you could be discharged as early as today, without needing to stay in the hospital for recuperation."

It will be better today.

Jiang Xuanxuan was shocked once again.

Even if she wasn't a medical student, she still understood basic medical knowledge. In the history of modern medicine, it is almost impossible for someone with such a penetrating and severe injury to be discharged from the hospital in just one day.

But her body did indeed recover at an incredible speed.

A warm sensation lingered at the wound, as if an invisible force was continuously repairing the damaged tissue within her body, and the pain was rapidly diminishing.

"The person who stopped your bleeding has medical skills that far exceed my comprehension; they are truly unparalleled. Miss Jiang, are you really sure you don't know who he is?" the doctor couldn't help but ask again.

The main reason is that I really want to make friends with such talented people. If we introduce such technology, their hospital's medical level will be greatly improved.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xuanxuan didn't know who that person was either.

She shook her head helplessly: "To be honest, that person was quite mysterious. In the end, I was unable to find out his identity. I only knew that he was a man and had excellent medical skills, but I knew nothing else."

Meanwhile, at the end of the emergency room corridor.

Grandma Zhou, in high spirits, walked briskly, followed closely by Zhou Hao, who looked uneasy.

"Haohao," the old lady said in a low voice, her expression serious.

"Xuanxuan has had such a big incident. Since you want to pursue her, this is your chance. When you go in later, you must perform well. Show her your concern, be sincere, and don't show any weakness, understand?"

Zhou Hao nodded and bowed repeatedly, replying, "Grandma, I understand, I've remembered everything."

"This is a great opportunity for you to change people's impressions."

The old lady's gaze was deep, and her tone was meaningful, "The Jiang family already had some reservations about our Zhou family, and they didn't think much of you."

"If you perform well this time, Xuanxuan's prejudice against you might completely change, and our relationship with the Jiang family could also improve." Zhou Hao's heart tightened, and he immediately nodded heavily, putting on a well-behaved and obedient appearance.

The old lady raised her hand and pushed open the ward door, her face instantly changing to a kind and warm smile as she quickly walked to the bedside.

“Xuanxuan…” Her voice was gentle and concerned, full of heartache, “Grandma heard that you had an accident and rushed over here. Her heart was in her throat. Now she can finally rest assured.”

Jiang Xuanxuan leaned against the hospital bed, watching the old man and the young man walk in. Her gaze fell indifferently on Zhou Hao, her eyes cold and devoid of warmth, full of aloofness and disdain.

Zhou Hao immediately forced a concerned expression, rushed to the bedside in three steps, and asked anxiously:

"Xuanxuan, are you alright? I heard you were injured and I was so worried that I rushed over with your great-aunt right away."

“Thanks to you,” Jiang Xuanxuan said coldly, her tone laced with biting sarcasm, “I’m still alive, and I haven’t been killed by you.”

Zhou Hao's smile froze instantly, leaving him awkwardly caught in a dilemma.

Grandma Zhou was also taken aback for a moment, observing the expressions of the two of them without making a sound, and instantly sensed that something was wrong.

“Xuanxuan,” Zhou Hao chuckled dryly, trying to explain, “Are you still angry with me? The situation was so sudden, those people were so fierce, I couldn’t help it, I…”

"What happened back then?" Jiang Xuanxuan interrupted him directly, a cold, sarcastic smile curving her lips.

"You mean the time you angered those people seeking revenge, got cornered in an alley, and then pushed me out to take their blows, abandoning me and running away?"

Upon hearing this, the air in the ward instantly froze, becoming so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Zhou Hao's face instantly turned ashen, cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and he panicked completely.

"Xuanxuan, you've misunderstood! It's completely a misunderstanding!"

He was so anxious that his face turned red, and he tried to explain incoherently.

“I wasn’t running away, I went out to find help! Those guys were armed, I couldn’t handle them alone, I went out to save you, I…”

"Drive away and then call for help?"

Jiang Xuanxuan sneered, her contempt deepening as she spoke, each word piercingly piercing, "When you drove away, did you even glance back at me? Did you have even a shred of concern for my safety?"

She spoke slowly and deliberately, each word like a sharp knife stabbing into Zhou Hao's face, exposing all his lies.

“If it weren’t for a kind person passing by and saving me, I would be dead by now. And you, Zhou Hao, you only cared about saving your own life, without even looking back, showing no sense of loyalty whatsoever.”

Zhou Hao opened his mouth, wanting to say something more in defense, but found that all his words were pale and powerless, and could not stand up at all.

He did run away.

He didn't turn back at all, showing no regard for Jiang Xuanxuan's life or death.

"Enough." Jiang Xuanxuan coldly looked away, her tone icy and chilling, like frozen river water in the dead of winter, devoid of any warmth.

“Zhou Hao, we’ve known each other for many years, and we’re practically old friends. I always thought you were just a bit weak-willed and lacked responsibility, but at least you had a basic moral compass and wouldn’t go too far. But today…” (End of Chapter)
