Chapter 100: Who exactly does 100 protect?

Xia Ning stood before He Xing with an aggrieved expression, looking as if she were the one who had suffered tremendous injustice, instead of He Xing being the one who had a high fever and was hospitalized.

“He Xing brother, I heard you were in the hospital, and I came to see you right away, but…” Xia Ning said, pointing at Fu Han with a pitiful look, “but Fu Han hit me without saying a word. Look, what has she done to my face? How can I go out to meet people in the future?”

“Did you hit her?” He Xing turned towards Fu Han, his face reverting to its usual forbidding expression.

“Yes, it was me who hit her,” Fu Han’s complexion also cooled down.

She knew that He Xing would definitely protect Xia Ning; otherwise, he would not have asked her this way. But she was still furious and took the chance to withdraw her hand when He Xing was not paying attention.

A storm seemed to brew in He Xing’s dark eyes as his gaze shifted back and forth between Fu Han and Xia Ning, finally settling on Xia Ning, “Your injury, with proper care, will not leave scars. When I get out of the hospital, I will take you shopping. You can buy whatever you want.”

“Can we watch a movie again?” Xia Ning asked He Xing tentatively.

He Xing glanced at Fu Han whose beautiful face was expressionless, then slowly nodded in agreement.

“Great, I can watch a movie with He Xing brother again.” Xia Ning cheered, jumping three feet high, feeling that today’s beating was well worth it, an unexpected windfall.

Fu Han felt that staying by He Xing’s side was becoming too humiliating, so she braced herself to stand and make room for some people she disdained when suddenly someone pulled her back down to sit.

At the same time, He Xing spoke again, “Xia Ning, let’s leave today’s incident at that. I don’t want to hear any talk related to this matter outside this ward. Can you do that?”

Xia Ning looked at He Xing in a daze, his face calm without any ripple; then she turned her head to look at Fu Han. Xia Ning had already taken evidence when dealing with her injury, intending to settle the score with Fu Han afterward; she was definitely not willing to let Fu Han off the hook just like that.

Silence began to spread in the ward, the sun impartially hanging in the sky, still only casting its light on He Xing and Fu Han, while Xia Ning was like an outsider who wanted to blend in but couldn’t.

All three harbored their own thoughts.

The silence was broken by Assistant Liang Tao’s knock on the door; he entered with a bruised face, “President He, you’ve finally woken up.”

“Who did this to you?” Sharp rays shot from He Xing’s handsome eyes, his gaze inadvertently landing on Xia Ning.

Xia Ning coughed awkwardly and played the victim again, “He Xing brother, it really wasn’t my fault. Liang Tao was helping Fu Han beat me; I had to defend myself.”

He Xing’s indifferent gaze fell on Assistant Liang Tao, “Is what Miss Xia said true?”

In the three years since Assistant Liang Tao joined the company, this was the first time he felt He Xing’s gaze to be so comforting. He immediately understood that even if he had indeed teamed up with Fu Han to beat Xia Ning, He Xing did not intend to blame him.

He stood up straight with a clear voice, “President He, it was like this. When I received Miss Fu’s call and learned that you were in the hospital, I prepared to rush over. Miss Xia insisted on coming with us. As soon as she arrived, she started insulting Miss Fu and even attacked her. Miss Fu was simply defending herself.”

Fu Han looked at Assistant Liang Tao with some surprise; she had not expected this assistant to speak so righteously and dare to speak ill of Xia Ning in front of He Xing. She worried whether He Xing would make things difficult for Liang Tao in the future.

Xia Ning’s face was very pale, adorned with bruises of green, purple, and red, making her look like a paper doll, rather ghastly.

With trembling lips, she said, “He Xing brother, it was…it wasn’t on purpose. I was too worried about you. If it weren’t for that bitch Fu Han, how would you have gotten a fever and fallen unconscious? I…I was just trying to vent for you.”

He Xing slowly sat up straight, looking coldly at Xia Ning, “I hope such things never happen again.”

“I promise, it will never happen again,” Xia Ning hurried to say, “Don’t worry, as soon as we leave this ward, no one will gossip about this matter.”

“Good to know,” He Xing responded indifferently, “It’s getting late. You should go back before the paparazzi catch you looking like this, and you can’t explain it away.”

“Okay,” Xia Ning, feeling guilty, was almost desperate to comply with He Xing’s wishes. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned back and cautiously asked, “He Xing brother, you promised to accompany me shopping for clothes and to watch a movie. Do those still count?”

He Xing didn’t directly answer Xia Ning’s question; instead, he first glanced over at Fu Han’s reaction.

Fu Han was already feeling upset inside; when she caught He Xing turning around out of the corner of her eye, she immediately put on a “totally don’t CARE” expression.

He Xing’s gaze turned cold, his voice devoid of warmth, “They count.”

Xia Ning got the answer she had hoped for in her heart and left satisfied.

Fu Han felt like she had hit rock bottom, so she too stood up, “President He, now that your assistant is here, I will not disturb you further since I have other matters…”

She was about to say “goodbye” but felt that such a word, given her current relationship with He Xing, would be quite meaningless. What’s the point of such lingering attachments?

It was better left unsaid.

He Xing reached out to grab someone but caught only air, forced to watch Fu Han walk away.

Unexpectedly, Assistant Liang Tao abruptly stepped in front of Fu Han with bold initiative, “Miss Fu, the opening ceremony for the script is in two days; please don’t miss it.”

Fu Han was briefly confused, having completely forgotten what this was about.

Assistant Liang Tao immediately explained kindly, “Miss Fu, you signed a contract during the Walk the Sky photography competition. The winner was to participate in a movie financed by He Group, and that movie is starting production in a few days.”

Fu Han vaguely remembered something like that. Su Cheng had mentioned that if they could shoot a movie, their media company’s profile would also improve.

She nodded, “I know. For anything else, please communicate via email. Goodbye.”

Having said that, she didn’t linger and didn’t even glance back at He Xing. She headed straight for the exit, almost colliding with someone standing at the door.

Looking up, it was actually Ji Liangchuan. Her face turned red, “Eavesdropping is not ethical.”

Ji Liangchuan, touching his chin, smiled meaningfully, “I wouldn’t call it eavesdropping, since I didn’t actually hear anything useful.”

Fu Han felt she couldn’t stay another second, stomped her foot, and ran off in a puff of smoke.

Ji Liangchuan stepped out, still smiling as he walked in, “He Xing, impressive. You’ve started to learn to play the victim, what’s this call? A decoy tactic?”

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” He Xing said calmly, without any expression, although the storm in his eyes intensified a bit.
