Ji Xiangchen was annoyed. "What do you mean, your car? This car belongs to the family!"
Ji Xiangyi wasted no words on him and gave Uncle Chen instructions directly. "Uncle Chen, take the two of us home. If Ji Xiangchen wants to go to the hospital, he can go on his own."
Fang Ning hadn't expected these twins to be so good at bickering. They had finally quieted down for a moment, only to start again when she least expected it.
As it happened, she also wanted to go to the hospital for a checkup, so she interrupted their squabbling. "I'd like to go to the hospital for a checkup too. How about this? Let's not go back to the Ji Family's place. Ji Xiangchen and I can get out somewhere, and you can go back to work first, Xiangyi."
Although she had done her best to stay out of the fight earlier, she had still inevitably been hit by those two-and in the head, at that.
She still needed to get checked, in case they had given her a concussion.
Ji Xiangyi didn't speak immediately. Instead, she pondered for a while. "Uncle Chen, go to the hospital."
Ji Xiangchen: "..."
Ji Xiangyi was definitely doing this on purpose!
Fang Ning gave Ji Xiangyi a big smile.
[I thought Ji Xiangyi was heartless just now, but it turns out she's actually pretty nice. I get it now. She simply doesn't like Ji Xiangchen.]
"..."
Ji Xiangchen felt like an unwanted, pitiful little puppy, ignored by his sister-in-law and disliked by Ji Xiangyi.
Originally, Fang Ning had only wanted to go to a public hospital for a simple CT scan, then go home if nothing was wrong.
But Ji Xiangyi took her straight to the Ji Family's private hospital and even brought in the hospital director to arrange a full-body examination for Fang Ning.
Ji Xiangyi also managed the Ji Family's private hospital now, so when the director heard she was coming, he hurried straight over, respectful and somewhat anxious. "What brings you here today, President Ji? Is there something urgent?"
There wasn't much expression on Ji Xiangyi's face. "I brought someone in for a checkup. Her name is Fang Ning. Have someone arrange a good bed for her."
The director breathed a sigh of relief. So she was only here for a health checkup. He had been frightened, thinking she had come to inspect the hospital.
After a pause, Ji Xiangyi remembered Ji Xiangchen as well. "As for Ji Xiangchen, just give him a basic checkup. As long as he won't die, that's enough."
Ji Xiangchen, who happened to be walking past with his examination paperwork and receipts and heard that remark: "..."
There was definitely something wrong with her.
He felt he would never be able to get along peacefully with Ji Xiangyi in this lifetime.
Ji Xiangchen silently gathered the things in his hands and stuffed them into his pocket.
At that moment, he suddenly missed Fang Ning a little. At least she wouldn't be as heartless as Ji Xiangyi.
When the doctor settled Fang Ning into a hospital bed, she felt something was off. Hadn't she only wanted a checkup? Why was she being put in a hospital bed now?
Fang Ning frowned slightly. Had they found some serious illness during her examination...? If not, why were they admitting her? If so, then she...
At that thought, Fang Ning's heart sank halfway. Looking at the pretty nurse beside her, she asked, "Miss, why do I need to be hospitalized? Do I have some very serious illness?"
The nurse didn't actually know why this patient had been admitted either.
It wasn't as though she had a fracture and couldn't move, and the doctor hadn't said she had any serious illness. But the director had ordered this, so even if the nurse wanted to answer, she didn't know.
Seeing that even the pretty nurse couldn't give her an explanation, Fang Ning's heart sank further.
Before transmigrating into the novel, she had died suddenly from working nine to nine, six days a week. After transmigrating, she had only just adjusted to life in the novel.
She hadn't even gotten to enjoy retirement with a young, handsome male caregiver before things had reached this point.
Was she going to die young again so easily?
While Fang Ning contemplated her life and death, Ji Xiangyi happened to walk in, followed by the driver, who was carrying a large fruit basket.
Ji Xiangyi explained, "There's nothing else wrong with you. I asked them to arrange a room for you. Since you happen to have some free time now, you can have a full checkup."
Although Fang Ning seemed fine on the surface, internal injuries weren't visible, and Ji Xiangyi didn't know whether she had suffered any other injuries in the fight that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
So she still hoped Fang Ning could get checked.
The hospital's other staff had all finished work for the day, so the examinations would have to wait until tomorrow. That was why she had simply arranged for Fang Ning to stay.
Hearing this, Fang Ning finally felt her anxiety ease. "I think I just got hit in the head. Everything else is fine. There's no need for me to stay in the hospital."
As she spoke, Fang Ning's gaze swept briefly around the luxurious hospital room.
One day's stay here would cost a day's wages from before she transmigrated into the novel. It pained her heart, and her wallet even more.
Ji Xiangyi had spent two years in the business world alongside Ji Xiangnian and had long since learned to read people's expressions. Noticing Fang Ning's gesture, she immediately guessed her concern and said calmly, "You don't need to worry about the money. This hospital belongs to the Ji Family."
"Besides, plenty of facts have proven that you can't judge someone's health by appearances. You look fine on the surface right now, but there are plenty of people online who injured other parts of their bodies in fights, were full of life on the first day, and were gone by the second."
"For the sake of your life, I suggest you stay in the hospital."
Fang Ning: "..."
Ji Xiangchen walked in from outside.
Having heard their conversation, Ji Xiangchen had plenty of experience with this subject. "Ji Xiangyi is right. Back in high school, there was a school bully who went out to fight. We shared a dorm room. He went out to provoke and fight people from outside school. That night, after the fight, he came back to the dorm perfectly fine, full of life, but by the next day, he was done for."
"So you'd better stay in the hospital and get a thorough checkup."
