All He Could Do for Her

The woman was wearing a long white down jacket, wrapped up tightly.

Qi Si reached out and gently moved aside the hair covering her face, revealing a face full of bruises and wounds.

Her once fair skin was now covered in patches of blue and purple. There were small scratches on her cheekbones, a split at the corner of her mouth, and her left eye was terribly swollen and bruised.

Despite this, Fu Hanchuan recognized her immediately... it was her, Bai Ran!

His heart skipped a beat, and he frowned deeply. What had she gone through? How did she end up in such a miserable state?

These injuries clearly weren't from a car accident; they looked more like she had been beaten.

Who had done this to her?

Qi Si explained, "Miss Bai didn't get hit by the car; she fainted in front of it, probably from exhaustion?"

"Mm..."

As he spoke, Bai Ran frowned, groaned, and opened her eyes.

She was momentarily dazed and then showed a look of panic. Where was she? It seemed like she was in a car. Right, she had almost been hit by a car just now.

Then she saw Fu Hanchuan and Qi Si by the car door.

It was them. She had almost been hit by Fu Hanchuan's car.

"Sorry."

Bai Ran touched her forehead and nodded apologetically at Fu Hanchuan. "Mr. Fu, I'm sorry to trouble you. I'll leave now."

As she turned to leave, Fu Hanchuan grabbed her.

Fu Hanchuan frowned and looked at her. "You need to go to the hospital. I'll take you."

"..."

Bai Ran was stunned and shook her head. "It's just a minor injury. No need to trouble you with a hospital visit. Thank you for your kindness."

She broke free from Fu Hanchuan and insisted on getting out of the car.

As soon as she stepped out of the car, before Fu Hanchuan could persuade her to stay, Bai Ran hurriedly retreated back into the car and bent down to hide under the seat.

Fu Hanchuan frowned. "What are you doing?"

"Shh!"

Bai Ran urgently made a shushing gesture. "Please, let me hide for a while. Just a little while!"

Hide? From whom?

Fu Hanchuan looked out the car window.

A silver-gray Volvo was parked by the roadside. Si Zhengze got out of the car, looking around and calling out from time to time.

"Bai Ran! Bai Ran!"

In an instant, Fu Hanchuan understood.

"Isn't that..." Qi Si saw it too and blurted out.

"Qi Si!" Fu Hanchuan interrupted him sharply, shaking his head lightly.

Qi Si understood and immediately fell silent.

Fu Hanchuan looked down at the girl hiding, trembling uncontrollably. She must be very afraid of Si Zhengze.

Was it Si Zhengze who beat her?

"Qi Si," Fu Hanchuan ordered in a low voice, "Get in the car. We're going to the hospital."

"Yes, Young Master." Qi Si closed the back door and got into the car. "Uncle Chen, let's go to the hospital."

"Alright."

As the car drove away, Bai Ran remained in her original position, not realizing that she was temporarily out of danger.

Fu Hanchuan reminded her, "It's safe now. Sit properly."

"Hmm?"

Bai Ran, as if waking from a dream, swallowed hard and slowly sat up, shrinking into the corner.

"Thank you, thank you so much."

She looked outside. "There's no need to take me to the hospital. Just drop me off at the next intersection..."

"Drop you off?"

Fu Hanchuan, annoyed, interrupted her, "Then let that man catch up to you and beat you again?"

"!" Bai Ran was startled and stared at him in surprise.

He had guessed it?

"Bai Ran."

Fu Hanchuan called her name, "Since I've decided to help you, I won't stop halfway. We're going to the hospital. Your injuries need a doctor."

"But..."

Bai Ran still wanted to refuse. How could she dare let Young Master Fu accompany her to see a doctor?

"Don't trust me?"

Fu Hanchuan seemed to read her thoughts. "How about this, when we get to the hospital, I'll have Xiangsi accompany you. You trust Xiangsi, don't you?"

Having made the decision, Bai Ran had no room to refuse.

Bai Ran sighed softly and leaned against the car door. Fine, then. Refusing Young Master Fu's good intentions repeatedly would make her seem ungrateful.

...

"Ranran."

At the hospital, Sheng Xiangsi, having received a call in advance, was already waiting at the emergency center.

"Xiangsi." Bai Ran forced a miserable smile.

Seeing her in this state shocked Sheng Xiangsi. She wanted to ask what had happened, but the most important thing right now was Bai Ran's injuries.

"Ranran, let's go. Let the doctor take a look."

"Okay."

Most of Bai Ran's injuries were soft tissue contusions, but her eye was in bad shape.

"This eye, you need to be careful. It almost got to your eyeball..." The doctor said sternly, "Which means, you were almost blinded."

Having seen everything in the emergency department, the doctor couldn't help but comment, "Was it a man who did this?"

Instantly, Bai Ran's face turned pale.

The doctor understood, having guessed correctly.

Indignantly, he said, "Get rid of that kind of man as soon as possible! There are plenty of men in the world, can't you find a good one? Besides, you don't have to have a man to live!"

He continued while writing her prescription.

"You need an IV. Stay for observation."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

Sheng Xiangsi helped Bai Ran out. Fu Hanchuan and Qi Si hadn't left yet. Qi Si took the prescription from her.

"I'll handle this."

"Okay."

Sheng Xiangsi didn't expect Fu Hanchuan to still be there. "Thank you, big brother. I can handle the rest by myself. Let Hanjiang know so he doesn't get upset."

"Alright."

Fu Hanchuan frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Bai Ran. His voice was unconsciously gentle.

"Take care."

Bai Ran was stunned, feeling overwhelmed. "I will. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Fu Hanchuan pressed his lips together. He felt unworthy of her thanks. All he could do for her was this much.

...

Bai Ran was settled in the observation room, receiving an IV.

Sheng Xiangsi sat by her bed. Bai Ran said awkwardly, "Xiangsi, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"What are you talking about?" Sheng Xiangsi glared at her. "How many times have you helped me?"

Among friends, that's how it was—mutual support.

But Sheng Xiangsi hesitated before asking, "Ranran, don't think I'm being nosy. Is this Si Zhengze's doing?"

"..."

Bai Ran was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Ranran."

Sheng Xiangsi sighed in frustration.

"Are you still going to continue with a man like that? He's despicable and scummy, and now he's hitting you. Besides, he has a wife. Ranran, listen to me, break up with him..."

"Xiangsi."

Bai Ran's eyes were already red, and she choked up, clutching her hands tightly.

"Si Zhengze, he... he... he's my husband. I am his wife!"

What??

Sheng Xiangsi was shocked. So that's how it was!

But everything seemed to make sense now. Bai Ran wasn't the type to interfere in someone else's family.

Bai Ran sobbed softly. "He wasn't like this before. He changed because of me..."
