"This..." The doctor looked troubled.
Hospitals had rules, and not every patient's family could just go to the monitoring room to watch surveillance footage.
Furthermore, this was a decision for the dean to make, not the doctor.
Therefore, the doctor dared not rashly agree to Yan Xi's request.
"Doctor, I beg you, I just want to get justice for my brother. You just said my brother has been recovering well lately. If it weren't for someone coming to upset him, he wouldn't have suddenly become critically ill. I just want to know who came to the hospital to provoke my brother and cause him to end up like this."
"Miss Yan, it's not that I don't want to agree, but I can't do anything about this. I have to follow the hospital's rules, otherwise, I'll be fired and sent home."
"Doctor, I won't leak this. Just this once, I beg you. I can't let my brother suffer so much for no reason."
Yan Xi pleaded with the doctor.
However, the doctor remained unmoved.
Fu Yan Ting suddenly asked sternly, "Where is your dean's office?"
Although the doctor hadn't seen Fu Yan Ting before, Fu Yan Ting was imposing, and his powerful aura greatly intimidated the doctor.
Not daring to delay, he told Fu Yan Ting the direction to the dean's office.
Ten minutes later, they were both in the monitoring room watching surveillance footage.
After watching the footage, Yan Xi's eyes turned cold. She hadn't expected the Yan family to be so reckless as to harm Yan Yi again.
Since the Yan family didn't want peace, she would oblige them.
Seeing Yan Xi's grim expression, Fu Yan Ting couldn't help but ask, "Are you alright?"
Yan Xi desperately wanted to tell Fu Yan Ting that she was fine, that she was great.
But how could she appear fine or great in her current state?
Yan Xi looked at Fu Yan Ting and suddenly requested, "Husband, can I ask you for a favor?"
A favor?
This was the first time Fu Yan Ting had heard the word "ask" from this woman.
Even though Fu Yan Ting had already guessed what Yan Xi wanted him to do, he still wanted to hear it from her directly.
Fu Yan Ting remained silent, raising an eyebrow at Yan Xi, waiting for her to continue.
Yan Xi really didn't want to trouble Fu Yan Ting, but if she didn't let Fu Yan Ting intervene, the Yan family would push their luck. Yan Yi had narrowly escaped death today, but what if there was a next time?
If there was a next time, Yan Xi couldn't bear to think what might happen.
Yan Yi's body was currently very weak and couldn't withstand any shock. Yan Xi didn't dare to take the risk.
After weighing her options, Yan Xi spoke up.
She told Fu Yan Ting about Yan Jiabiao's tax evasion.
"What benefits will I get if you ask me to help you?"
Yan Xi bit her lip. She understood what Fu Yan Ting meant. Although she desperately needed Fu Yan Ting's influence now, Fu Yan Ting had someone he loved and wouldn't be content to live with her.
"I promise to divorce you."
After careful consideration, Yan Xi spoke first.
She could become stronger and protect her brother. Once Yan Jiabiao was imprisoned and the Yan family fell into decline, Kong Ya Lan and that mother-daughter pair, Yan Xiao, would no longer be so arrogant.
Fu Yan Ting was taken aback. He hadn't expected this woman to bring up divorce herself.
She was the granddaughter-in-law his grandmother had personally chosen. His grandmother must like her. If he divorced this woman right after waking up, his grandmother would surely know that it was all his doing.
"There's no need to rush the divorce. We can sign an agreement. The marriage will last for one year, and then the engagement will be automatically dissolved. What do you think?"
Yan Xi gave a wry smile. Did she have a choice?
Fu Yan Ting stayed with Yan Xi at the hospital until Yan Yi was out of danger and transferred to a regular ward. Then, they both returned to the villa.
Back in their room, Yan Xi tried hard to fall asleep, but she couldn't.
Her mind was a mess. Yan Xi wanted to get a glass of water to calm herself. As she got up to fetch water, she heard ambiguous sounds coming from the next room.
Yan Xi couldn't help but recall what Shi Wenwen had said to Fu Yan Ting at the banquet that evening.
Although Yan Xi already knew that Fu Yan Ting and Shi Wenwen had a close relationship, Fu Yan Ting had just told her at the hospital that they had agreed to a one-year engagement, and now he was bringing Shi Wenwen home.
Yan Xi felt like a clown, being toyed with.
She tried hard to escape from here.
But her legs felt as if they were controlled, unable to move.
Yan Xi stood blankly outside the room, her mind a complete blank. She desperately wanted to push open the door and tell the woman inside that she was the young madam of the Fu family.
But she didn't have the right.
Yan Xi didn't know how long she stood outside the room. She was completely unaware until Fu Yan Ting stood before her.
Fu Yan Ting glanced at the bedroom indifferently and then said sarcastically, "Wife, since when did you develop a habit of eavesdropping? I never knew."
Fu Yan Ting's words pulled Yan Xi back to reality.
Yan Xi's face turned extremely ugly.
She hadn't expected to be caught by Fu Yan Ting.
However, seeing Fu Yan Ting in a suit and tie, could she have misunderstood?
Yan Xi looked up at Fu Yan Ting blankly. Fu Yan Ting looked at her leisurely, as if waiting for her explanation.
Shi Wenwen heard the commotion outside. She tidied her clothes and walked out of the room. Reaching the doorway, she saw Yan Xi.
Instead of feeling awkward, Shi Wenwen even had a trace of smugness.
It was as if she were Fu Yan Ting's official girlfriend.
And Yan Xi was just someone arranged by the Fu family.
Fu Yan Ting would divorce Yan Xi sooner or later.
With this thought, Shi Wenwen smiled even more smugly.
Fu Yan Ting offered no explanation about his relationship with Shi Wenwen and quietly watched Yan Xi.
"I... I'm sorry. I didn't know you were busy. I'll go back to my room now."
After speaking, Yan Xi turned around hastily, preparing to escape back to her room.
However, Fu Yan Ting refused to let Yan Xi go. The moment Yan Xi turned, he tightly grabbed her wrist, forcing her to face him.
Shi Wenwen had never seen Fu Yan Ting treat any woman like this. She started to panic. Did Fu Yan Ting actually like Yan Xi?
No, she had to find a way to break them up.
She couldn't let Yan Xi stay by Fu Yan Ting's side.
Shi Wenwen stood aside, clenching her fists tightly when they weren't paying attention, as if she had made a decision in her heart.
"Fu Yan Ting, you're hurting my wrist. Let go." Yan Xi's wrist was aching from being held so tightly by Fu Yan Ting. She couldn't help but frown.
But Fu Yan Ting acted as if he hadn't heard her. He looked at Yan Xi with cold eyes and asked indifferently, "What did you just call me?"
