CHAPTER 376: CHAPTER 375: THE CALAMITY OF A HANDSOME MAN

However, in the next few days, the hospital room suddenly became lively.

Originally, when Fang Shaohan woke up, apart from He Cui and Fang Jianguo, many people visited the hospital room every day to see the patient.

After all, bearing the title of Fang Jianguo’s son, many wanted to butter up to him. Especially many girls, all daughters of high-ranking officials from the military compound, admired Fang Shaohan greatly. Now was a golden opportunity; they would love nothing more than to tend to Fang Shaohan by the bedside, hoping that affection would grow over time.

Fang Shaohan was the apple of the eye in the military compound, with family background and character making him the choice son-in-law for many daughters of officials. If Fang Shaohan weren’t so icy, who knows how many girls would be throwing themselves at him.

This was universally recognized as a great opportunity.

So, for those few days, the hospital room was practically a floral paradise.

But a week later, when the doctor announced that the hope for Fang Shaohan’s leg to recover was slim, even to the point of calling it remote, the number of visitors reduced by more than half, leaving just a few clinging to their last threads of hope.

Unfortunately, a month later it was evident Fang Shaohan showed no signs of recovery; his legs remained limp like noodles, without sensation.

The remaining few disappeared without a trace.

The hospital room finally quieted down for a long while.

Now, with the news released that there was hope for Fang Shaohan’s leg to recover, the hospital room once again became bustling.

People came and went; especially those girls who had vanished without a trace returned, all dressed glamourously, carrying fruits and flowers, diligently surrounding Fang Shaohan, serving tea, pouring water, wiping face and washing feet, almost wanting to personally help him change clothes and bathe.

Even if the frost on Fang Shaohan’s face could be several inches thick, freezing to death many people, these girls still were all giggles and beauty, unable to be driven away, directly ignoring any icy expression from Fang Shaohan.

Fang Shaohan kept a cold face, but he couldn’t inexplicably lash out at people, especially after previously losing control of his emotions in front of Gu Xiaoqing and causing subsequent reactions. Fang Shaohan dared not casually vent his negative emotions for fear of scaring away these butterflies.

If Gu Xiaoqing got scared away again, it would be more of a loss than gain.

But being surrounded by so many women every day, even excluding Gu Xiaoqing, really made Fang Shaohan uncomfortable.

The only person he wanted to see was Gu Xiaoqing, not these chirping birds.

Especially when each one spoke in a whiny, childish tone, without one who could talk normally; the smell of perfume was so strong it could induce rhinitis. It was nauseating.

This was simply hell on earth.

Not to mention, the unending stream of people had the same purpose, Fang Shaohan found it absolutely unbearable.

The only solution he could think of was to hide in the rehabilitation room, as outsiders weren’t allowed in there — probably the only place where Fang Shaohan could find peace.

Gu Xiaoqing was absolutely relieved these two days, as many had taken over Gu Xiaoqing’s role, with countless girls eager to stay by Fang Shaohan’s side for 24 hours.

Of course, Gu Xiaoqing also received a lot of hostile stares; many directly regarded Gu Xiaoqing as a rival.

Their stance was just short of pointing at Gu Xiaoqing’s nose and demanding her to leave immediately. Of course, many didn’t understand the situation completely; they didn’t know whom the girl beside Fang Shaohan was, whom her elder belonged to, so they were slightly restrained.

However, there were also those who didn’t care about Gu Xiaoqing’s background — because their own background was absolutely strong, so they didn’t need to care about anyone else’s background.

Like the girl in front of her now, wearing ten-inch high heels, dressed in attire whose skirt hem was just a little above the knees, tightly wrapping around the hips, posing a risk of exposure with even a slight move.

Features adorned with expertly applied makeup, long curled hair, fashionable earrings, carrying a branded handbag diagonally, sitting on the chair by Fang Shaohan’s bedside and chatting with him.

On the other side, issuing commands to Gu Xiaoqing to do this and that.

"Brother Fang, your health seems to be recovering well; probably in another month or two you can be discharged, right? Then I can visit you at your home every day; this place is really inconvenient, too far from our compound."

Lips coated with bright red lipstick, speaking in a coquettish tone to Fang Shaohan.

This is Jiang Limin, who grew up with Fang Shaohan. Her grandfather was a comrade-in-arms of Fang Shaohan’s grandfather, also a general in the military compound, albeit retired now. While Fang Shaohan was in Beijing, the two families were close, almost childhood sweethearts.

Later, Fang Shaohan returned here, and Jiang Limin went abroad to study, so they lost contact.

This time Jiang Limin specially returned to visit Fang Shaohan.

Jiang Limin had always claimed the identity of Fang Shaohan’s girlfriend, so she had nothing but disapproval for Gu Xiaoqing.

"Hey, what are you standing around for? Didn’t you see Brother Fang’s cup is empty, go fill it up! Truly clueless; I don’t know where Aunt found this little maid from, youth nowadays really have no perception. I must speak with Aunt to get a replacement maid for you."

Pointing at the cup, her voice raised several notches.

Gu Xiaoqing glanced at the cup, still more than half full of water — this was a pointless exercise.

She shot a look at Fang Shaohan, whose face usually showed no expression, but now couldn’t discern any meaning.

Gu Xiaoqing turned around and left; this young lady was clearly finding trouble, just tired of her presence hindering their affairs.

Fang Shaohan was naturally a magnet for trouble; she was always the unsuspecting victim.

Sigh.

Even good-looking troublemakers are trouble.

"Look at that attitude. Brother Fang, she’s a relative from your rural family, right? Doesn’t seem like any ordinary maid; I’ve never seen such an arrogant maid before." Jiang Limin watched Gu Xiaoqing leave wordlessly, further infuriating her.

Fang Shaohan’s eyes flashed, saying: "She’s not our maid."

If Gu Xiaoqing ever worked as someone’s maid, that household would have extraordinary fortune.

Jiang Limin was taken aback; earlier she guessed that this woman’s identity was not simple, testing with her words, unexpectedly Fang Shaohan responded as such, indicating this woman’s identity was indeed complicated.

"Then she is......"

$This remark held extreme caution, as Jiang Limin didn’t want to hear something she was unwilling to accept.
