Director Jiang, don't let the divorce get out of control.

Chapter 44 She didn't want to push him away.

Jiang Wanxing staggered to the door of 402, wanting to go in, but was stopped by the police.

She instinctively grabbed Wen Ruan, "Lin Xia... what happened to her?"

Seeing Jiang Wanxing's performance, Wen Ruan understood everything.

She knows Lin Xia, and their relationship is probably quite close.

"She..." Wen Ruan's eyes were filled with complex emotions, and she hesitated before saying, "Please accept my condolences..."

In an instant, Jiang Wanxing's face lost all color, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, and the next moment her body went limp and she fell towards Wen Ruan.

Wen Ruan: "?!"

"Miss Jiang?" Wen Ruan was startled and instinctively supported her, only to find that she had lost consciousness.

Just then, the forensic doctor came out and examined her. "She experienced intense emotional fluctuations and couldn't withstand the shock, so she fainted..."

Just then, Jiang Wanxing's phone rang. The auxiliary police officer took out her phone, and Wen Ruan happened to glance at the contact name: "My Star".

It's clearly a very intimate nickname.

The auxiliary police officer answered the phone and calmly explained the situation, "Hello, the owner of this phone has fainted. Are you her...?"

"Okay, the person will be taken to the hospital now. You can go directly to the hospital."

After hanging up the phone, the auxiliary police officer put it back and looked at Wen Ruan. "Ms. Wen, you know this lady, right? Would it be convenient for you to accompany her to the hospital?"

"We need to keep people here to handle the scene, and we can only spare one person to take a statement at most."

Wen Ruan was stunned for a moment, looking at Jiang Wanxing's pale face, a feeling she couldn't quite describe welled up inside her.

Normally, she would never agree.

But when Jiang Wanxing heard about Lin Xia's accident and her strong reaction, she paused for two seconds before agreeing, "Okay."

The auxiliary police officer breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him.

Jiang Wanxing was quickly taken to a hospital ward for examination and it was determined that she was fine and would wake up in an hour at most.

Wen Ruan sat on the sofa, silently gazing at Jiang Wanxing's face, who looked more vulnerable than ever before.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

The next moment, the door to the ward was pushed open.

Upon seeing the familiar figure walking in, Wen Ruan's breath hitched, and her mind went blank.

Jiang Yubai frowned slightly, and Wen Ruan saw the worry in his eyes, a pang of sadness rising in her heart.

"Yu Bai..." Wen Ruan immediately recalled the phone call the auxiliary police officer had received.

It must have been him who called.

Sure enough, he was very worried about Jiang Wanxing.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Yubai was very surprised to see Wen Ruan.

Wen Ruan pursed her lips slightly, unable to resist asking, "Can't I be here?"

Could it be that her presence here is delaying him and Jiang Wanxing?

Wen Ruan stood up, her voice carrying a barely perceptible chill, "Since you're here, I'll head back now. I still have work to do."

With that, she picked up her bag and was about to leave.

Jiang Yubai's eyes flashed with helplessness as he reached out and grabbed her wrist. "That's not what I meant. What happened?"

Wen Ruan was startled, and the image of Lin Xia's death flashed through her mind, causing her face to turn slightly pale.

Jiang Yubai keenly sensed that something was wrong with her and asked in a low voice with concern, "What's wrong? I was just surprised to see you with her."

Hearing his explanation, Wen Ruan felt a little better.

"When I went to see my colleague... I ran into her. She seemed to know my colleague..."

Wen Ruan briefly explained the situation, then couldn't help but ask, "You came here specifically because you were worried about her, right?"

She couldn't help but think that Jiang Yubai was clearly very worried about Jiang Wanxing.

But then he told her he wouldn't get a divorce. What does he mean by that?

Just as Jiang Yubai was about to answer, a soft moan came from the hospital bed.

Jiang Wanxing slowly opened her eyes and saw the two people in the ward.

The next second, she suddenly remembered something, looked at Wen Ruan, and said in a hoarse and flustered voice, "Lin Xia... Lin Xia, she..."

Wen Ruan pursed her lips slightly and spoke the truth, "I'm sorry, please accept my condolences... She had already passed away when I arrived. The police will definitely investigate the cause of her death."

Jiang Wanxing's breath hitched, and she immediately tried to sit up, but stumbled and fell back onto the bed.

Jiang Yubai frowned slightly, wanting to help her up, but as soon as he reached out, Jiang Wanxing half-fell into his arms, her forehead pressed against his shoulder, her shoulders shaking violently.

"Yu Bai... How could Lin Xia...?" Jiang Wanxing's voice was choked with disbelief as she burst into tears. "Am I... Am I dreaming...? Tell me this isn't real..."

"She was perfectly fine before, why did she die?"

As Wen Ruan watched Jiang Wanxing leaning against Jiang Yubai's chest, a sharp, stabbing pain shot through her heart.

She instinctively tried to look away, but her gaze was fixed on her, unable to be drawn back.

The next moment, she saw Jiang Yubai raise his hand and push Jiang Wanxing away, calmly and restrainedly comforting her, "Wanxing, calm down first, what exactly happened?"

After he pulled her away, Jiang Wanxing was stunned for a moment, as if she had just realized what she had just done.

She lowered her eyes, tears still clinging to her eyelashes, looking frail and helpless.

Wen Ruan felt a mix of indescribable emotions churning within her.

She didn't know whether Jiang Yubai pushed Jiang Wanxing away because she was there, or because he was always like that.

But she had no time to delve into the details and asked, "Miss Jiang, what is Lin Xia to you?"

Jiang Wanxing looked at her with red eyes, "...She's my distant cousin. She's only twenty-two years old and just graduated... She said she found a good job, and I was so happy for her... How could this happen..."

Wen Ruan was stunned. She hadn't expected that Lin Xia was actually Jiang Wanxing's cousin.

Lin Xia had been exceptionally warm towards her since she joined the company, and even planted a jammer in her equipment. If all of this was related to Jiang Wanxing…

Wen Ruan suppressed the surging suspicions in her heart; she had no evidence and could not prove anything.

Jiang Yubai frowned, vaguely remembering that Jiang Wanxing had mentioned a distant cousin studying in the capital, but they had never been close and had never met.

Upon suddenly hearing the news of his passing, he remained silent for a few seconds before speaking in a low voice, "Does your family know?"

Jiang Wanxing shook her head, tears welling up again: "I haven't had a chance to tell them yet... I don't know how to bring it up..."

She sobbed as she asked, "Yu Bai... could you help me contact my uncle...? My mind is so confused right now..."

Jiang Yubai nodded. "Okay."

He took out his phone and went to the corridor to make a call.

Jiang Wanxing thanked Wen Ruan in a hoarse voice, "Ruan Ruan... thank you for coming to the hospital with me today. I'm sorry, I... I was too out of control just now."

Wen Ruan said calmly, "No need to thank me. You should get some rest. The police will investigate Lin Xia's matter thoroughly."

Jiang Wanxing gave a bitter smile.

Just then, Jiang Yubai returned after finishing his phone call.

Wen Ruan wanted to say that she would go back first, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

It turns out... she didn't want to push him away.
