What?

As Zhao Jing’s voice fell, Xu Anran’s heart trembled.

She showed her face?

In other words, everyone in the country might already know that she was almost raped today?

At this time, Xu Anning might be laughing at her at home, while her father, Xu Zhenwei, might be rejoicing that he had severed his relationship with her, so that he wouldn’t be so embarrassed.

Xu Anran gritted her teeth and buried her head in her knees, trying hard not to cry out loud. However, she could not help but let out a few sobs.

When Jiang Rongyan saw her like this, her heart ached. Just as she was about to comfort her, he suddenly saw the other party raise her head. She looked at him and said, “It doesn’t matter. It’s just that the entire country saw me almost being violated. Anyway, it’s not like it really happened. I’m not such a weak woman.”

She choked on her sobs and forced herself to act as if nothing had happened, but she could not stop the tears from coming out of her eyes.

When Jiang Rongyan saw her like this, he knew that she was pretending to be strong.

“Are you really alright?”

Xu Anran shook her head. “I’m fine. It’s not my fault. I’m a victim. Why should I be afraid? Even if I should be afraid, it should be the person who attacked me.”

Even though that was the case, everyone knew what it meant to show one’s face in a live broadcast. If the people around them knew about it, they might not even be able to raise their heads in the future.

Jiang Rongyan let out a breath and reached out to pull Xu Anran into his embrace. He gently stroked her head. “Anran, you’re not wrong. It’s that rapist who’s at fault.”

Previously, Xu Anran was still angry with Jiang Rongyan. Now that she was in his embrace, a warm feeling welled up in her heart. For a moment, she forgot about the plan and sobbed softly in Jiang Rongyan’s embrace.

After the incident, Jiang Rongyan was the first person who was willing to hug her.

Seeing that Xu Anran had stopped crying, Jiang Rongyan turned around and said to Zhao Jing, “It’s not Anran’s fault. It’s that rapist. He’s too incompetent. He could only use such despicable methods to force Xu Anran, persecuting an innocent women.”

Xu Anran raised her head and looked at Jiang Rongyan.

“He turned on the camera so skillfully today and broadcasted it so skillfully. This means that he has done a lot of this. I absolutely cannot tolerate Xu Anran receiving this kind of attention because of this.”

“What do you mean?” Zhao Jing asked him.

Jiang Rongyan lowered his head and thought for a while. Then, he looked at Zhao Jing and said, “If you inform the police, tell them that Anran pretended to be brought into the room to cooperate with the police to search for the criminal.”

Zhao Jing nodded. “I understand. Then, shall I go now?”

Jiang Rongyan didn’t say anything and silently agreed.

Zhao Jing turned to Xu Anran and said, “Sister-in-law, I’ll be leaving first.”

Xu Anran was still nestled in Jiang Rongyan’s arms. When she heard this, she nodded. “Sorry to trouble you.”

“It’s no trouble.”

Before Zhao Jing left, he gave Jiang Rongyan a look. His meaning was very clear — perform well, this is your chance.

Jiang Rongyan: “…”

After he left, Jiang Rongyan supported Xu Anran and let her lean back. He held her hand and said gently, “Anran, it’s okay. No one will criticize you.”

Xu Anran was very touched. If it weren’t for Jiang Rongyan, she would have been criticized in the company in the future.

“Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do today.”

Jiang Rongyan smiled faintly. “You finally said something human today.”

“Let me use your phone.”

Jiang Rongyan handed it to her.

He saw Xu Anran swipe his phone screen onto the takeout app and asked her, “What are you doing?”

“I’m ordering takeout. I’m a little hungry.”

Jiang Rongyan took his phone and said, “I’ll go buy you some food.”

She was already in the hospital, yet she still wanted to order takeout?

He went out and bought three dishes and a soup from the hospital cafeteria. He put them in a lunchbox and placed them in front of Xu Anran.

Xu Anran picked up her chopsticks and picked up some food. Before she could stuff it into her mouth, the food slipped out between her chopsticks and fell onto the small table with a ‘clatter’.

“…”

She lowered her head and felt a little embarrassed. She continued to use her chopsticks to pick at another dish, but the result was the same.

“Let me feed you..”
