My Youth Began With Him

Chapter 3558 A Devil in a Mask 8 “How come she’s in our hospital?”

“I don’t know. She seems to have gotten an injury and was just transferred to our hospital. I heard people in the hospital say she’s Secretary Zeng’s daughter; even Director Wu went to the VIP ward to see her.”

“Which department is she in?”

“Orthopedics. It’s said she has an old wound on her leg.”

“Okay. I’ll go and see her.”

She had planned to call Zeng Rou to ask about the incident that day and thank her.

Knowing Zeng Rou was an inpatient in the hospital, Huo Mian was stunned.

In the luxurious VIP ward at South Side.

This time, Zeng Rou didn’t disguise her identity so there were bodyguards stationed at the door.

With young nurses taking care of her in the ward, she now had the style of a girl from a wealthy family.

“Stop. Who are you?”

The bodyguard didn’t know Huo Mian and stopped her.

“This is our Vice Director Huo.” Chen Jie gave the bodyguard a hard look.

Glancing at the name tag on Huo Mian’s chest, he let them in.

When Huo Mian entered, Zeng Rou was playing on her cellphone.

Beside her, a young nurse was carefully peeling an apple for her.

“Zeng Rou.”

“Huh? Huo Mian, nice to see you… I thought you’d rest at home for a few days. How come you returned to work so soon?”

Zeng Rou was happy to see Huo Mian.

“Yeah. We got lots of things to do in the hospital and I can’t take a leave right now. What happened to you?”

“Um… I can’t say. Forget it. Just don’t ask.”

“What? Did those cops hurt you after I was gone?”

Huo Mian had felt guilty leaving Zeng Rou behind.

Seeing Huo Mian’s guilt, Zeng Rou found it easy to act.

“Oh. It’s okay. I’m fine.”

“How did you get hurt?”

“I… fell. I fell when I was shopping.”

“Don’t lie to me…” Seeing the uneasiness in Zeng Rou’s face, Huo Mian didn’t buy it.

“Guys, leave the room; I want to talk to my friend in private.”

Zeng Rou looked up and sent all the other people out of the room.

Chen Jie also followed them out of the room.

“After you were gone, the cops indeed caught up with us. They were rough to me and even smashed my cell phone onto the ground. I got furious and scratched his face. Haha.”

“Did they do anything to you?” Huo Mian looked anxious.

“I’m fine. Later on, the army arrived, summoned there by my father’s secretary, and they escorted us home.”

“How did you get injured?” Huo Mian looked at her leg bound in plaster.

“Thinking I was safe, I went shopping. Some guy pushed me from behind; fortunately, the stairs were not high, or I’d be dead. To add insult to injury, it exasperated the old wound I got in the car crash in Singapore, so I got hospitalized in the provincial hospital. But the doctors claimed that South Side Recuperation Center was the best in orthopedics in the province, so my dad had them transfer me here.”

“It’s a big deal. Why didn’t you call me?” Huo Mian felt guilty.

“It’s no big deal. I’m not crippled. It’s just a small injury.”

“Did you see the guy who pushed you?” Huo Mian asked.

“No. But my dad said… I might have ruined someone’s plan, so they retaliated.”

“I’m sorry. Zeng Rou, I dragged you into this…” Huo Mian was full of remorse.

No matter whether Qin Chu suspected Zeng Rou or not, Huo Mian knew Zeng Rou had saved her and even got wounded for it.

“No, it’s not your fault.” Zeng Rou smiled with a shrug.

“Does Su Yu know you’re hospitalized?” Huo Mian suddenly remembered Zeng Rou’s previous relationship with Su Yu.
