Chapter 1044: Ning Wan Goes on a Hunger Strike

"If there are no other issues, I’ll go ahead and assign some tasks. Chi Wen, you’re responsible for posting an emergency notice on the official website. Also, set up a crisis management page on Weibo and WeChat public accounts, and maintain communication with clients and the media, coordinating the flow of information across various channels."

Chi Wen nodded, but her eyes flashed with a sly glint.

Shen Kang looked to the other side and instructed:

"Zhang Jian, you’re in charge of coordinating the customer service department. Make sure to call the clients before ten o’clock and remind them not to use that batch of building materials anymore. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

The work continued in an orderly fashion.

......

The old Lu Family residence.

Just as Lu Jihan left, Song Yinyin encountered a troublesome matter right after.

Yan Xue called from the hospital, saying that Ning Wan, due to a leg injury, had developed depression, refused to accept the doctor’s treatment, and had begun to go on a hunger strike.

Not daring to delay, she rushed to the hospital without stopping.

Just as she reached the entrance to the ward, she could faintly hear a woman’s scream coming from inside, even from a distance.

"I won’t eat! Everyone go away! I don’t want you! Get out! All of you, get out! You’re all liars! Liars!"

Rumbling——

Bang——

Clang——

The sound of glass and ceramic bowls shattering into pieces was terrifying even from such a distance.

Afterwards, Song Yinyin saw Yan Xue and several nurses being driven out.

"Big sister-in-law!"

Song Yinyin called out and walked over to Yan Xue.

Seeing her, Yan Xue sighed with relief, "Yinyin, you’re finally here. Please think of a way. What should we do now?"

Yan Xue was stressed to death, her face full of helplessness.

"Big sister-in-law, don’t worry just yet. Tell me, what exactly happened? Ning Wan was fine before; why has she suddenly refused treatment and started a hunger strike?"

"Sigh, the child is also pitiful."

Yan Xue sighed and began to explain the situation in detail.

It turned out that, just this morning, the doctor told Ning Wan that because she has a scar-prone constitution, an ugly scar would form on her ankle, and that scar would cover her whole ankle.

A woman as beautiful and gorgeous as Ning Wan naturally puts her appearance first.

Having an ugly scar on her injured ankle means that she would no longer be able to wear beautiful, lovely dresses.

Being a woman herself, Song Yinyin could certainly understand Ning Wan’s feelings.

It seemed necessary to have a talk with Ning Wan.

Thinking of this, she frowned and volunteered, "Big sister-in-law, wait here for me. I’ll go and give it a try."

With that, she walked into the ward.

On the bed, Ning Wan lay facing upward, her face gazing out the window, her hair a bit disheveled. Due to her earlier agitation, there were still faint pink spots on her cheeks.

Her upper teeth were biting her lower lip tightly, lost in thought.

From Song Yinyin’s angle, she could still see Ning Wan’s exquisite beauty, only now she seemed deeply troubled.

"Xiao Wan," she called out softly.

Ning Wan turned her head, initially frowning as if to drive her away, but seeing it was Song Yinyin, she was stunned.

"Aunt?"

"Xiao Wan, I heard what happened to you. Can we talk?" Song Yinyin cautiously approached and gently held Ning Wan’s hand in hers.

Her careful and protective attitude made Ning Wan relax her guard.

She lowered her head, listlessly biting her lip, and suddenly, large teardrops, like soybeans, fell from her eyes.
