He did not know how long he slept, but when he woke up, it was already dusk.

Xia Xiaoling held her forehead with one hand as she opened her eyes. In the orange glow of the evening, Jiang Ying was polite but there was a warm smile on her face. "Sister-in-law, you're awake?"

Although he still felt a little dizzy, Xia Xiaoling only needed to take a glance at the surroundings to know that this was a hospital. However, why was Jiang Ying here?

Xia Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then asked while considering, "Xiao Ying, did you send me to the hospital?"

"It was my brother who sent you here. You fainted from the fever back then. Don't you remember?"

"Is that so?" The smile on Xia Xiaoxiao's face was somewhat forced, but she still politely said, "Then I really have to thank him."

Jiang Ying smiled faintly when she saw her reaction, but Xia Xiaoxiao was a bit ashamed and ashamed under her gaze. Actually, the moment she woke up, she guessed that it might be him. She just couldn't believe it. After all, she seemed to have provoked him again …

"How is it? Are you feeling better? "

Hearing that, Xia Xiaowang subconsciously touched her forehead. It was slightly hot, but not scalding. She honestly said, "It's almost over. You should be able to get out of the hospital after resting for a while."

"Sister-in-law, do you know that you almost had pneumonia? Why don't you stay for another two days?"

Xia Xiaoxiao smiled and did not refuse nor agree. She only asked, "Who helped me pay for the medical expenses?"

"Of course my brother paid for it."

"Will it bother you? If you have something to do, then go and busy yourself with it. You don't need to take care of me?"

Jiang Ying was a smart woman, and understood her meaning the moment she heard this. She also said straightforwardly, "No, my task is to listen to big brother's instructions. Since he asked me to take care of you, then taking care of you is my most important task, so why would I delay it?"

"He asked you to take care of me?"

"Otherwise? "How many people do you think can move me?"

Upon hearing these words, Xia Xiaoxiao felt her throat dry up. For a moment, she was unable to speak. Seeing her embarrassed expression, Jiang Ying waved an apple in front of her and said, "Do you want me to peel one for you?"

"No need, just some water."

"Then wait a moment, I'll pour it for you." Jiang Ying quickly got up and went to get some water. Since Xia Xiaoxiao had nothing to do for a while, she turned her head and looked around the ward. The television in the ward wasn't turned on, and a special piece of news was being played on the screen.

Originally, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't really care much about it, but after a casual glance, her entire person felt as if she had been struck by lightning …

Yesterday's business banquet was held as scheduled. The Chairman of the Xia Clan, Xia Xiaoxiao, and the President of the Xi Clan, Xi Musheng, were both present at the banquet. Someone claimed that they saw the heir of the Fang Clan, Fang Yiping, and Xia Xiaoxian meet privately on the roof.

After dialing a bit of Xia Xiaoling, she directly left the courtyard. No matter how much Jiang Ying told her to stay, she expressed the need to hurry back to the company.

He just wanted to hurry back to the company as soon as possible. When he went out, Xia Xiaoxiao's head was heavy and her feet were light. It seemed that she had a fever again.

However, she didn't have time to care about her own illness, so she just got on the car and went straight to the Xia Corporation.

Xia Xiaowang rushed into the office. She knocked on the door and came in with a few newspapers in her hand. "Chairman, take a look."

The newspaper had used a whole page to describe last night's party at the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and her picture had been printed in a prominent position. In the photo, she looked radiant and graceful, and was described as the professional model of a new generation of women.

It was really an exaggeration. Xia Xiaoling was surprised. Other than having the intention to cooperate with a few other companies, she had accomplished nothing. She did not know which reporter had written it. It was really an exaggeration.

However, what was the matter with today's news?

How could there be such ridiculous news? Just who was controlling everything from behind the scenes?

"This report will be helpful to find an investment in the future," Xiao Ai said happily. "Chairman, give me the business card you received last night. I'll help you make an appointment with them later."

Yeah, business card, how could she have forgotten about that?

Xia Xiaoling opened her handbag. Other than her own business card, everyone else's business card was missing.

She searched every nook and cranny of her handbag, but found nothing.

How is this possible? There were thirty or forty business cards in it. There was a small stack.

For a moment, she was dumbfounded.

She remembered that her handbag hadn't left her at the party last night. And then she went home with him... Then she went to the company, the hospital, and the one she had the most contact with was Xi Mu City.

Obviously, no one except the stingy man had a chance to touch her bag.

Humph! Didn't he know how important those cards were to her?

After some thought, Xia Xiaowang sent him a text message [Lunch together]. Considering his volatile temper, she did not dare to ask directly.

He hadn't replied to a message for half an hour.

She was a fan of his words. Fortunately, she called him. Just as she got through, she was immediately hung up.

She scoffed at this man. He was too stingy.

Then she called again, and this time he answered, and before she could speak, she heard his low, husky voice, a little cold: "It's a meeting." Then he hung up again.

It was indeed a meeting, a meeting for her...

"Zifeng, go investigate."

"Yes, CEO!"
