After the divorce, my ex-husband and son lined up to pursue me.

Chapter 93: Unexpected complications
Back at the rented apartment, Lou Yushi and Jiang Shan had already opened the shopping boxes on the coffee table.

The two women, each clutching a bag, were still chatting excitedly when Jiang Xia entered. They stopped talking immediately, and Lou Yushi quickly got up and came over, asking, "What's wrong? Are you alright?"

On the way back, Jiang Xia's complexion was not good, and she was preoccupied with many things, but at this moment she smiled gently and met Lou Yushi and Jiang Shan's concerned gazes: "Nothing's wrong, we just chatted for a few minutes."

"Huh?" Jiang Shan was shocked. "Sister Xia, you... know each other?"

Jiang Xia put down her bag, changed her shoes and sat down on the sofa. Without any hesitation, she said, "I guess so. We had some interaction when we were young, but we haven't been in touch for many years. He only recognized me by chance tonight."

"Oh, I knew it."

"So this is ah."

Two naive and foolish girls believed it completely.

Jiang Xia didn't feel there was anything to hide, nor did she want to bring up those unpleasant things again. She then looked at the new bags beside the two of them and asked, "How are they? Do you like the style and everything?"

"What a question! It's the latest Chanel model! I don't just like it, it's like my dream come true!" Jiang Shan was so happy that she forgot herself and promptly hugged Jiang Xia affectionately: "From now on, you're my older sister! I... no, I'm willing to be your slave, to lead your horse and put it in your stirrups, even if it means dying a thousand deaths!"

Jiang Xia chuckled and patted her on the shoulder: "I'm glad you like it."

Jiang Shan was still very happy, hugging the new bag and kissing it again and again. She was afraid it would get bumped or damaged, so she carefully held it above her head and found a safe place to put it.

Lou Yushi also liked the bag she had, but after expressing her gratitude, she chased after Jiang Xia, who was going inside to wash up, and said, "This bag is very expensive. Why are you spending so much money? Return this one. If you have money, keep it."

Jiang Xia smiled, having already seen through it. Lou Yushi was not only stubborn but also kind-hearted, always thinking of others. Whether it was her firm concern or her cold rejection, it couldn't hide her passionate heart.

"We've already bought it, why return it?" Jiang Xia said with a smile, then turned and went into the bathroom. While washing her hands, she said to Lou Yushi, who was leaning against the door, "You carry a canvas bag all day long, it's time to get a better one."

"A bag is just for carrying things. I'm not that vain, so it doesn't matter what I use."

“Yes, that’s right.” Jiang Xia didn’t argue, and smiled to the side: “Just think of it as me wanting to give you something nice, okay? As for money, I’ve saved up a lot through hard work and suffering in the past, anyway… enough for me to squander now.”

That was probably the only good thing about marrying Ruan Muhuai; for several years after the marriage, she didn't have to spend any money out of her own pocket.

Lou Yushi frowned, and couldn't help but grumble again, "It's enough for you to squander now, but what about later? What about your son? He's relying on your unreliable husband. Don't you know what men are like?"

"Money is the most important thing! Never mind, you can take this bag back tomorrow and return it. Or give me the invoice and I'll go return it."

"..."

Jiang Xia took a deep breath: "I can't return it. I threw away the invoice. If you don't want that bag, give it to Shanshan."

"What? You..." Lou Yushi bit her lip in anger, glared at Jiang Xia with a hint of frustration, and finally said helplessly, "Then I'll keep it, but just this once. You're not allowed to buy me anything this expensive again, not at all!"

Finished talking and left.

Jiang Xia was left staring at her retreating figure, feeling both amused and exasperated.

The next few days passed uneventfully, with nothing happening.

Aside from her usual busy schedule, Jiang Xia would take out the USB drive Lu Niansan had given her whenever she had a spare moment. However, despite Lu Niansan's barrage of messages, she still didn't look at the USB drive.

It has never even been connected to a computer.

She had no curiosity, nor did she want to be affected by such messy things again, and also to guard against Landing Twenty-Three.

If he could implant software into someone's phone without Ruan Muting's knowledge or awareness, wouldn't he also have a Trojan horse on his USB drive that could run silently when Jiang Xia connected to the computer? One should always be wary of others, even childhood friends.

Moreover, Jiang Xia never felt that she and Lu Niansan could be considered childhood friends; they were just ordinary acquaintances.

She tossed the USB drive into her bag and quickly put the matter out of her mind. But she was probably too busy spending so much time in the lab every day that she received so many messages and calls that she didn't notice them until very late.

That day, as usual, they were busy until after nine o'clock. Xu Fei went to make coffee, Jiang Shan was also researching how to order takeout, and Jiang Xia got up to stretch her body. She suddenly remembered that she still had a cell phone.

When I picked it up, I saw more than a dozen missed calls.

The other three calls came from Ruan Muhuai.

There's just a lot of news.

The first thing Ruan Muhuai coldly ordered was: "[It's urgent, answer the phone!]"

Then came Ruan Muting's message: 【You damn bitch, where the hell have you been? Answer the phone! Xiao Bao's in trouble!】

……

There was a lot of subsequent condemnation of Ruan Muting, but the key information was that Ruan Yuanchao got into trouble!

Jiang Xia's heart tightened suddenly. Without bothering to check other messages, she hurriedly told the others, "I have something to do, don't wait for me." Then she grabbed her phone and rushed out of the lab.

As he walked toward the office, he also called Ruan Muhuai back.

As soon as the call connected, Ruan Muhuai's sarcasm and irony vanished; he simply said, "My assistant is downstairs and will be at the hospital soon."

The call was then cut off.

Jiang Xia almost tripped over her hurried steps, staggering a few steps before barely managing to steady herself.

Ruan Yuanchao must be sick again.

Judging from Ruan Muhuai's tone, he must be very ill this time!
Jiang Xia sighed in frustration, then quickened her pace and entered the office. After changing her clothes and grabbing her bag, she went downstairs. A black Bentley had been waiting in front of the building for who knows how long.

As soon as she walked over, the driver's door opened, and the assistant hurriedly got out of the car: "Madam, please get in the car."

Jiang Xia hummed in agreement and got into the back seat. As the Bentley started moving, she asked her assistant with a puzzled look, "Do you know roughly what happened?"

"I'm not sure, it seems the young master is sick."

Jiang Xia's heart sank again. Then she heard her assistant say, "This illness may be very serious. The young master was taken by helicopter early this morning and he was given emergency treatment. Secretary Tao has also contacted many doctors... You will know the details when you arrive, Madam."

Jiang Xia's breathing became heavy, and she anxiously rubbed her fingertips together. Finally, she took out her phone, found someone, and opened the chat window: [The child is sick again. What are we going to do about his health?]

The reply came quickly: "The child is weak; premature birth is only part of the reason. Don't blame everything on yourself; there will always be a way to treat it."

but……

This time, Jiang Xia's unease grew even stronger!
