The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 288 - 181: Tell Xi Mohan that Ning Wan has been Found

Chapter 288: Chapter 181: Tell Xi Mohan that Ning Wan has been Found

Xi Mohan directly tossed the pen in his hand away, looking at the document in front of him, the more he looked, the harder it became to concentrate. His head ached fiercely, and he always had a restless feeling within him.

The mobile phone on the desk suddenly started to ring. Xi Mohan picked it up to see that the caller ID showed it was Lu Jingchen. He slid to answer the call and calmly greeted with a faint "Hello."

"Judging by your voice, it sounds pretty unpleasant. What, did the five-hundred-million contract fall through?" Lu Jingchen slightly curled his lips, revealing a profound smile on his face, his tone unhurried, as if he was reveling in schadenfreude.

Xi Mohan, half-squinting his eyes with partially closed eyelids, slightly parted his thin lips, his voice tinged with huskiness as he stated flatly, "If you called just to tell me this, I’m hanging up."

"You could try hanging up the phone, but I dare say that once you do, I won’t tell you the news you want to hear." Lu Jingchen wasn’t anxious at all, speaking indifferently as he stood outside a high-end hospital ward.

Ning Wan’s surgery was very successful, the only regret being that the child of over three months in her womb could not be saved. Now due to excessive blood loss from the miscarriage and a mild concussion from the car accident, she couldn’t wake up for a while; meanwhile, Song Qiao was dutifully by her side, unwavering in her care for her inside the ward.

As for the sentiment between Song Qiao and Ning Wan, he was very clear about it - after all, the friendship between best friends might be hard to comprehend, but it was also visible to the eye.

Though Xi Mohan did not know what exactly Lu Jingchen wanted to say, he ultimately did not hang up the phone.

Sitting in his executive chair, Xi Mohan suddenly relaxed his body, looking every bit exhausted, he raised his other hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.

Tired, not just emotionally exhausted, but drained of spirit too, as if he had suddenly lost all his strength.

Even his world seemed to be shrouded in confusion, preventing him from seeing clearly what the future might hold.

Lu Jingchen had no idea how difficult recent times had been for Xi Mohan; nevertheless, Xi Mohan also kept up a front of indifference, making others hope to see another side of him.

As to which side, naturally, the best would be the one where he loses control.

"Mo Han, let me tell you some good news and bad news - which one would you like to hear first?" Lu Jingchen didn’t plan to waste any more words and went straight to the reason he had called.

Xi Mohan didn’t even feel like entertaining his thoughts, and his response was scornfully blunt, "Just say what you have to say, and if you’re not going to speak then hang up the phone. I don’t have time to waste, there’s a meeting to attend to shortly."

"Your meeting will probably need to be postponed." No sooner had he finished speaking, Lu Jingchen let out a confident sneer.

Xi Mohan remained silent. As for words like these from Lu Jingchen, he wouldn’t waste saliva responding if he could avoid it.

The next second, Lu Jingchen spoke nonchalantly, "I know where Ning Wan is."

Xi Mohan, who had been half-squinting, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and almost at that very moment, he thought he was hallucinating. His chest suddenly trembled, and almost instinctively, he said, "Are you telling the truth?"

"We are at the hospital now, just come here. But Mo Han, if you truly didn’t fall in love with Ning Wan... you should understand what I mean..."

...

The secretary was just about to bring in the documents for Xi Mohan to sign, but before she reached the door, it opened from inside. A figure hurriedly strode out, moving very quickly, and on closer inspection, one could even see his steps were somewhat disordered.

"President..." The secretary snapped back to her senses, but by that time, Xi Mohan had already made it to the elevator. She hurriedly followed him, calling out.

The elevator hadn’t arrived yet, and Xi Mohan’s mood was somewhat chaotic. The words from Lu Jingchen’s phone call still echoed in his ears.

He had found Ning Wan, who was now in the hospital...

Ning Wan...

That woman, how long had he been looking for her, with no news at all. Unexpectedly, it was Lu Jingchen who had found her.

It can’t exactly be said that he found her; to be precise, it was Song Qiao who found her. Lu Jingchen had explained the ins and outs over the phone, but he sold him short and had not yet revealed why Ning Wan was at the hospital. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The secretary came right up beside Xi Mohan, her voice anxious as she asked, "President, are you going out?"

As Xi Mohan looked at the numbers displayed on the elevator, his brows slightly twisted, clearly growing impatient. Hearing the secretary’s question, he looked at her sideways with a faint glance and hummed in acknowledgment.

The secretary paused, originally wanting to say something else, but when she saw the cool and gloomy expression on Xi Mohan’s face, the words got stuck in her throat. After a long moment, she cautiously asked, "So President, should the twenty-minute meeting continue as planned?"

"Cancel it." Without even a moment of consideration, he replied. Just then, the elevator arrived, and Xi Mohan walked straight in, thought for a moment, and then continued, "Cancel all my schedule for today; arrange it again when I come back."

Secretary, "...Yes, President." She hardly had the courage to object, even though her boss’s approach was too... surprising for her, but she immediately agreed.

...

Inside Ning Wan’s hospital room, Song Qiao sat on the chair beside the bed, her gaze falling onto the girl lying on the bed, whose complexion was almost as pale as the white pillow, the tears she had barely kept at bay once again escaped, streaming down.

The Ning Wan before her was almost unrecognizable. Her face wasn’t just pale but utterly devoid of color, and her originally somewhat plump cheeks were now so thin that there was hardly any flesh on them.

And her long black hair had been cut into a shoulder-length bob.

"It hurts..." Just then, the previously quietly sleeping Ning Wan muttered in a low voice, her bloodless face showing a trace of pain, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Wanwan..." Song Qiao had a moment of stunned surprise, thinking she was hallucinating, but seeing the pained expression on her face, she immediately knew it was no illusion. She quickly took her hand and urgently asked, "Wanwan... Wanwan, what’s wrong? Does it hurt a lot? Don’t be afraid, I’m right here."

Seeing Ning Wan in such pain, Song Qiao’s emotions almost collapsed, she gripped her hand tightly and spoke urgently, her tears once again uncontrollable, rolling down.

It seemed that Ning Wan felt the presence of Song Qiao, the hand that Song Qiao was holding gripped back even tighter, her eyes still closed, but with a trembling voice she said, "Qiaoqiao... it hurts..."

The car accident caused Song Qiao a minor concussion, and even more devastatingly, a direct miscarriage.

Song Qiao didn’t need to think to know whose child Ning Wan’s was. Other than Xi Mohan, there definitely wasn’t a second man.

At this moment, she even had the urge to kill Xi Mohan.

She immediately pressed the emergency call button beside the bed, and soon the doctor and nurses walked into the room to check on Ning Wan, so Song Qiao also stepped out of the room.

Outside the hospital room, as soon as Song Qiao came out, Lu Jingchen, who had been waiting for Xi Mohan, approached her. Seeing her eyes stained with tears, his own eyes deepened slightly, but he did not ask about Ning Wan, instead he said, "Are you hungry? Shall we go eat first, huh?"

He knew that Song Qiao hadn’t had lunch. He originally planned to invite Mu Shinian and Lu Yulin to eat with Song Qiao, but that was delayed because of Ning Wan’s situation.

It was already past four in the afternoon, and in another two hours, it would be time for dinner.

He hadn’t gone to the company himself, and when Lu Yulin called him during Ning Wan’s still-unfinished surgery, he had told them to go eat on their own.

Song Qiao leaned on Lu Jingchen, physically and mentally exhausted, hardly having any strength. Just thinking about Ning Wan’s condition in the hospital room made her feel unbearably distressed, to say nothing of eating.

She wrapped her arms around the man’s waist, clinging to him as if he were a lifeline. Song Qiao’s tears continued unchecked, wetting his clothes as she said, "I’m not hungry, I don’t want to eat."

Lu Jingchen frowned slightly, but still patiently said, "You didn’t eat at noon, let’s go have a meal first, okay? Otherwise, if you collapse, who will take care of Ning Wan?"

In the end, Song Qiao followed Lu Jingchen to a nearby restaurant for a meal. Because of Lu Jingchen, the hospital sent specialists directly, ensuring that both the chief physician and the nursing staff were of the highest quality.

...

When Xi Mohan arrived at the hospital, Lu Jingchen had just taken Song Qiao out to eat not long ago.

As he approached the door to the hospital room, the door opened from the inside, with a doctor and several nurses coming out. They were briefly startled to see Xi Mohan but soon recognized who he was, each of them nearly scared out of their wits.

The doctor in his forties was particularly deferential, his voice almost trembling as he said, "Xi... President Xi..."

In An City, there were hardly a few people who didn’t know about Xi Mohan, especially since... this hospital was under Xi Group.

Indeed, for this reason, Ning Wan was unwilling even to come to the hospital for a high fever.

Because as soon as she came to the hospital, Xi Mohan would definitely know her whereabouts.

Xi Mohan’s face was somewhat somber, but he didn’t bother with the doctor, pushing the door open and walking straight into the room without giving them a glance.

Doctor, "..." The towering President of Xi Group, their hospital’s behind-the-scenes boss – what was he doing here?

Suddenly recalling the woman in the room, they felt a vague sense of familiarity. After pondering for a moment, the doctor finally realized who the woman in the room was and nearly bit his own tongue off.
