Reborn to Rule

Chapter 4: A Long Road Ahead

His left arm was slowly becoming soaked with blood, staining his previously spotless white shirt.

Jiang Yan panicked. She got up ignoring the needle attached to her, reaching him. Feng Yansheng was startled by her behaviour. Before he could stop her, she was already holding his left arm. She swiftly folded up his sleeves, revealing his injuries that were clumsily wrapped with gauze.

"How did this happen? Are you okay?" she asks in a worried tone.

Feng Yuansheng shrugs her off. "It's just a scratch," he says in a cold tone.

Jiang Yan can sense the domineering personality of Feng Yuansheng and knows that he's not the type of person to talk much. Jiang Yan flares, gripping his arm tightly again, this time surprising Feng Yuansheng with her strength.

Without hesitation, Jiang Yan shouts for the doctor, fully aware that Feng Yuansheng won't even care about this "Scratch".

The doctor was trembling while redressing his wounds. He could clearly feel the tension in the room. Once he finished, he cautioned, "Sir, just avoid getting your injuries wet."

Feng Yuansheng grunts in response while glaring at Jiang Yan, who was equally glaring back with her arms folded.

The doctor swiftly left the room, narrowly avoiding the crossfire that was going to start at any moment.

Feng Yuansheng continue to glare at her when he heard a knock.

"Come in"

Li Ming, Feng Yuansheng's loyal secretary, came and bowed, "Boss, the Chopper is ready."

Feng Yuansheng took one last look at Jiang Yan, who was still looking back at him angrily.

'𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘬𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯?'

Feng Yuansheng quickly dismisses his crazy thoughts and left the room, with his secretary, Li Ming following suit after bowing courteously to Jiang Yan.

As soon as they both leaves, Jiang Yan inhales deeply, still feeling the chill from Feng Yuansheng's icy glare. She sat back on her bed. If not for him saving her from those kidnappers and the life debt from her past life, she would never have given him a second glance.

Grateful for his help, she silently made a solemn vow to repay her debts to him. However, this time she was determined not to make the same mistake again. She would keep her distance from Feng Yuansheng. Despite him coming to save her before her death in her previous life, it couldn't change the fact that he never loved her.

Jiang Yan knew she had been given a second chance at life, and she wasn't about to waste it. As she tried to process her situation, her top priority was to ensure the safety of her people at all costs and seek retribution for those responsible for her and her people's death in her past life. And to do that she needs to rebuild her empire, this time more stronger. Only then can she be powerful enough to protect her people.

And for now, she needs to take care of her grandmother.

***

After being discharged by the doctor a few hours later, Jiang Yan immediately made her way to her grandmother's room. Her grandmother was sleeping peacefully, but the bruises on her body spoke of the pain she had endured for her. Jiang Yan sat down beside her and was overcome with emotion.

"Grandma Liu," she whispered, her voice cracking. "I'm here now, and I promise I'll take care of you. You've done so much for me, and it's my turn to repay you. Please, rest and get better. We have a lot to catch up on when you wake up."
