Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

When Jinxi rushed to the ward, Zhou Linxu had just gotten off the bed, sat in a wheelchair, and looked down at his leg, which was in a cast.

Jinxi walked up to him, and he looked up, somewhat surprised: "Xiaoxi? What brings you here?"

After speaking, he turned to look at Goldman Sachs, who immediately turned his face away.

Jinxi looked at his leg, her brows furrowed, and asked in a low voice, "What happened? How could you have been in a car accident out of nowhere? What happened to your leg?"

Then something else occurred to her: "Where's Uncle Li? Is he alright?"

"Uncle Li went to pay the bill, he's fine," Zhou Linxu said. "I'm fine too, just a broken bone, it'll be better in a few days."

"It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, how can it be cured in just a few days?" But hearing him say that, Jinxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a big deal.

However, she was still puzzled: "What exactly happened?"

She looked Zhou Linxu up and down again: "Are you hurt anywhere else?"

Zhou Linxu watched her circle around him, then helplessly reached out and grabbed her wrist to stop her: "I'm really fine, don't worry, I don't even know what to say to you."

Jinxi lowered her head slightly and said, "Then tell me, but you won't."

Zhou Linxu said, "When I got off the bus, someone on an electric scooter rushed over. I couldn't avoid it in time and was hit."

Jinxi asked in confusion, "Didn't you get off the car in the parking lot? Where did the electric scooter come from that hit you?"

Zhou Linxu visibly hesitated for a moment when asked the question, and Jin Xi raised an eyebrow: "Oh, that's rare, Mr. Zhou can lie now."

Zhou Linxu coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "I didn't lie either."

Jinxi, however, didn't seem interested in hearing what he had to say. She looked at Goldman Sachs and asked, "Assistant Goldman, what exactly is going on?"

Goldman Sachs said, "Mr. Zhou was hit in the parking lot, but it wasn't because he couldn't dodge in time. The motorcycle deliberately went towards Mr. Zhou. We have already called the police and had someone investigate."

Jinxi asked, "Is there a video?"

Goldman Sachs immediately took out his phone and pulled out the surveillance video from that time. Jinxi watched as Uncle Li drove Zhou Linxu to the Zhou Group's garage, then Zhou Linxu got out of the car and Uncle Li left.

Just as Uncle Li started moving, he heard a rumbling sound and a black motorcycle sped over. At first, Zhou Linxu didn't pay any attention to the other party and just walked towards the elevator normally.

As the sound grew closer, Zhou Linxu seemed to realize something and immediately dodged, but his right leg was still hit by the motorcycle because he couldn't avoid it in time.

Zhou Linxu fell to the ground. Uncle Li stopped the car and rushed back, but the motorcycle didn't slow down at all and drove away.

The people in the vehicle were dressed entirely in black, covering every part of their bodies, and the motorcycle had no license plate, clearly indicating that they had come prepared.

The whole thing took less than a minute. I can't even imagine what would have happened if Zhou Linxu hadn't realized something was wrong and dodged in time; he would have injured more than just his right leg.

Jinxi's expression turned serious for the first time. She wanted to say something, but she felt her arm being slightly shaken.

She lowered her head and looked at Zhou Linxu again.

Goldman Sachs, who was standing nearby, chimed in, "I'll go see if the doctor has arrived yet."

There were only the two of them in the ward.

Zhou Linxu said gently, "Don't worry, I'm really fine."

Jinxi took a deep breath and then realized that Zhou Linxu had been holding her wrist tightly the whole time.

Zhou Linxu also came to his senses and released his hand: "Please sit down first."

His ward was a single room, and the facilities were fairly tidy. Jinxi pushed him to the stool and then sat down. After sitting down, the two of them were about the same height.

Jinxi looked down at his leg, which was in a cast: "Zanzan would probably cry if he saw this."

Zhou Linxu also looked down and said, "I don't want him to know."

"Huh?" Jinxi said, "With you like this, it's hard for you not to know, right? Besides, didn't we promise Zan Zan that we'd pick him up together this afternoon?"

Zhou Linxu also pressed his brow: "Before the cast was removed, I went to stay in an apartment next to the company. I told Zanzan that I was going on a business trip for a few days."

Jin Xi didn't speak. Zhou Linxu looked at her and asked, "What do you think?"

"From your perspective, there's no problem," Jinxi said. "But from Zanzan's perspective, it's because you broke your promise again."

The father and son's relationship had finally improved recently, and they had talked about picking him up from school together many times. Zan Zan didn't say it, but he was definitely looking forward to it.

Moreover, he's a sensitive child. If you tell him that his dad has to go on a business trip, he'll probably get so angry that he'll run away from home with his three puppies.

Jin Xi continued, "Besides, it'll take at least a month to remove the cast, right? Are you not going to contact him for a whole month?"

Zhou Linxu sighed, unsure how to respond.

Jin Xi said, "Lin Xu, Zan Zan isn't as fragile as you think, but he really can get angry. You don't want the relationship you finally managed to repair to go back to freezing point, do you?"

"But how do we explain this?" Zhou Linxu said, "It will scare him."

"That's easy, I just missed a step while walking up the stairs," Jinxi said. "I can just make it up."

Zhou Linxu hesitated for a moment: "Wouldn't it look a bit silly to trip on the stairs?"

Jinxi couldn't help but laugh: "It's okay to be silly once in a while, it's not like it's always me."

Zhou Linxu nodded, as if he agreed with Jin Xi's statement.

Jinxi asked, "I saw you fall on the ground in the video. Besides your leg, where else did you fall?"

Zhou Linxu looked down at his left hand, rolled up his sleeve, revealing a section of his forearm.

When he fell, there happened to be a wheel stopper nearby, and his arm hit it. Since he has fair skin, the abrasions on his arm looked particularly frightening when his sleeve was rolled up.

Jinxi gasped. She looked around and saw iodine and cotton swabs on the cabinet next to the hospital bed. She went over to look at them and took the ointment as well.

Zhou Linxu followed her gaze, and when she returned, he subconsciously opened his palm.

Jin Xi tilted her head, sat down again, and asked, "What do you want?"

Zhou Linxu said, "I'll apply it myself."

Jinxi sighed helplessly, "You should rest now, I'll get it done for you, hurry up."

She deftly twisted open the iodine solution, held a cotton swab in her other hand, and gestured to Zhou Linxu with her eyes to raise his arm.

Zhou Linxu placed his arm on the armrest, and Jin Xi leaned forward slightly, looking down as she applied iodine to his abrasion.

Zhou Linxu tilted his head to look at her and said, "...Why are you suddenly using honorifics?"

Jin Xi didn't even look up: "I respect you."

Zhou Linxu gave a dry "oh," and said, "Then why don't you be a little gentler?"

She said she respected him, but she was actually quite strong.

I was quite patient with Zan Zan, so why did I suddenly become so mean to him?

Jinxi snorted, but softly, and asked, "Do you have a lot of enemies?"

The video clearly showed that the target was either dead or seriously injured.

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement: "That's a bit much."

Then he asked, "Are you scared?"

Jin Xi looked up at him, somewhat puzzled: "What am I afraid of?"

The two locked eyes. Zhou Linxu looked at Jin Xi's calm face and said softly, "My enemies may also target you."

His eyes were uncontrollably fixed on Jinxi's face.

He himself didn't know what kind of expression he wanted to see on her face.

Jin Xi's expression remained unchanged, and he said casually, "It's alright, I'm a martial artist, I'll take them on one by one."

Zhou Linxu couldn't help but lower his head and laugh.
