Seeing Tang Xue purse her lips and the tense lines on her face revealing her seriousness, Lin Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly and said nothing more. Instead, she quickened her pace to cooperate with Tang Xue.
The journey back wasn't long before the group spotted the production crew's car.
The car stopped beside them, and a girl with a ponytail got out. She glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao's arm and her heart skipped a beat.
The production team was also shocked when they learned from the live stream chat that Lin Xiaoxiao was injured.
That person is the chairman of the Lin Group, someone who could make their show impossible to continue in a heartbeat.
Now, they've been injured during the filming of their show. If the Lin Group investigates, they'll really be in deep trouble.
Although Lin Xiaoxiao's injury wasn't caused by them, she got injured because she participated in their show.
They didn't want to speculate about Lin Xiaoxiao like that, but in this industry, it's inevitable to overthink things.
Therefore, upon learning that Lin Xiaoxiao was injured, the production team quickly arranged for someone to take her to the hospital.
As for other matters, we can only consider them after Lin Xiaoxiao's injuries have been treated.
The production team no longer hopes that Lin Xiaoxiao will stay and continue filming; they only hope that the show can continue.
"Mr. Lin, I'll take you to the hospital." The girl used a respectful form of address when speaking to Lin Xiaoxiao, which revealed her unease.
There was nothing they could do. Lin Xiaoxiao's status was undeniable; she was someone who could put them out of work with just a few words. All they could do now was try to find a way to salvage the situation.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble." Lin Xiaoxiao, who was about to refuse, immediately changed her mind after glancing at Tang Xue beside her.
Although going to the hospital would be a bit of a hassle, it would ease Tang Xue's worries, so Lin Xiaoxiao would definitely still choose to go to the hospital.
"Then Xiaoxue and I will go to the hospital first." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded to the Shen brothers. "I've really caused you a lot of trouble today. I'll treat you to dinner after this is over."
"Mr. Lin, there's no need to be so polite." Shen Yang said readily, "However, I won't refuse this meal you're treating me to. I'll wait for you to treat us to a big meal."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled, "Of course, I'll definitely make you satisfied. By the way..." As if she had thought of something, Lin Xiaoxiao turned to look at the two of them, "Have you ever thought about entering the entertainment industry?"
"Huh?" Shenyang was taken aback.
"Sorry." Lin Xiaoxiao scratched her cheek. "When I saw you come to participate in this program, I thought you were interested in this."
“That’s definitely on our minds.” Shen Wei looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a serious expression. “President Lin wants to sign us.”
"I do have that idea, but it also depends on your performance. I won't let you get in through the back door just because of our relationship."
Lin Xiaoxiao brought this up for two reasons: firstly, she felt quite apologetic to the two of them; and secondly, she thought that both of them had good looks and, with a little effort in training them, they could still make it in this industry.
So Lin Xiaoxiao thought that if they had any intention of entering this circle, she could naturally provide them with some convenience.
"Brother, do you have any thoughts about entering this industry?" Shen Yang's eyes widened; it was the first time he had heard Shen Wei mention this.
"I'll tell you later." Shen Wei had no intention of explaining to Shen Yang right now.
"Little one!"
Tang Xue gritted her teeth. She felt like she was about to explode with anger. Why did she have to bring this up now? Did she think she wasn't bleeding enough, or did she really not feel any pain at all?
"They're here, they're here."
Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulders trembled, and she grabbed Tang Xue's hand with a fawning expression, "Let's go to the hospital."
Looking at the smile on this person's face, Tang Xue really wanted to grab it; it was so infuriating.
Chapter 89
==================
[Wow, he's hooked up with a rich woman! Ahhhh, does President Lin need another leg accessory? I'm available, I'm super obedient, the kind who can eat by herself, President Lin, please take a look at me.]
[President Lin, look at me. I'm super well-behaved; I can even skip meals.]
[Wow, is the guy upstairs planning to cultivate immortality? He's even skipping meals.]
[As long as I can get on Mr. Lin's good side, what's wrong with cultivating immortality?]
[I can go without eating, as long as I can be Mr. Lin's leg accessory, why would I worry about not having enough dog food to fill my stomach?]
【Brilliant!】
[What's wrong with the crew? Mr. Lin and Ms. Tang Xue are already in the car, why aren't they hurrying up and following them with the cameras?]
[I want to watch the live stream! I want to see what happens next! I want to see how President Lin acts all cute and charming. Miss Tang Xue's face turned dark just now.]
[President Lin really doesn't take his own health seriously. Look how worried he is about our Miss Tang Xue! If it were me, I'd be angry too. He's injured like that, and he still doesn't forget to sign new talent for the company. Our President Lin is truly dedicated.]
[She's truly dedicated, but can't our CEO Lin see Tang Xue's red and swollen eyes? It breaks my heart.]
[I want to see CEO Lin coax his wife, sob sob, why aren't the staff following him? Please have some common sense, hurry up and get in the car!]
The production team is aware of the audience's complaints, but they do not intend to appease them.
The production team was already upset and uneasy because of Lin Xiaoxiao's injury. They were still thinking about how to discuss her injury with her, so how could they possibly arrange for staff to continue the live broadcast?
After getting into the car, Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao immediately turned off their microphones.
Lin Xiaoxiao turned to look at Tang Xue, who had a cold expression beside her, blinked, and reached out to tug at Tang Xue's sleeve, "Xiao Xue."
Tang Xue pulled her sleeve away from Lin Xiaoxiao's fingertips, leaned her body slightly towards the car window, and ignored Lin Xiaoxiao.
Tang Xue was furious and didn't want to forgive Lin Xiaoxiao so easily. Lin Xiaoxiao didn't take her health seriously, and Tang Xue was both anxious and angry.
If she were strong, she would have carried Lin Xiaoxiao away while she was dawdling.
But she wasn't strong enough to do such a thing, so she could only be angry at Lin Xiaoxiao's indifference and at her own incompetence.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please don't be angry anymore." Lin Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed Tang Xue's sleeve again, her voice soft and pitiful.
Tang Xue turned her head to look out the window, refusing to turn back to look at Lin Xiaoxiao. She knew that Lin Xiaoxiao was always good at playing the victim, and if she turned back and saw those wet eyes, she would definitely soften immediately.
But Tang Xue didn't want to soften her heart now, and didn't want to forgive this guy so quickly.
Tang Xue hoped that Lin Xiaoxiao could remember this lesson, because she really hated Lin Xiaoxiao's behavior of not taking her own body seriously.
"Xiaoxue, please don't be angry anymore, okay? It's all my fault, but please don't punish yourself for my mistakes."
Looking at Tang Xue's tense facial features, Lin Xiaoxiao stretched out a finger and gently poked Tang Xue's cheek, saying in a wronged tone, "What do I have to do for you to forgive me?"
Lin Xiaoxiao really didn't understand. She had already agreed to go to the hospital, so why was she still so angry?
"Xiaoxue, don't be angry anymore, okay?" Lin Xiaoxiao grabbed Tang Xue's sleeve and shook it. "Don't be angry anymore."
Tang Xue pursed her lips; under Lin Xiaoxiao's series of attacks, she had begun to soften her stance.
Tang Xue glanced at the two fingers Lin Xiaoxiao was using to tug at her sleeve, sighed softly, and looked up at Lin Xiaoxiao. Sure enough, she saw the other woman's slightly ingratiating smile.
"You're not angry anymore." Seeing Tang Xue looking at her, Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to see a glimmer of hope for victory, and her smile became even more adorable.
Tang Xue lowered her eyes. "Do you know where you went wrong?"
What did I do wrong? Lin Xiaoxiao blinked. "I shouldn't have gone hiking today."
Lin Xiaoxiao sighed. If she hadn't gone hiking today, none of this would have happened.
Tang Xue choked, her smile freezing on her face. She ground her back teeth and said, "You really are a genius."
Is she angry because of the mountain climbing incident? What's wrong with this guy's thought process?
"Xiaoxue?" Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head, looking a little confused. She had already stopped being angry, so what did she say wrong?
No matter the situation, it's always right to apologize first, right? "I'm sorry."
Tang Xue reached out and pinched her brow. "Don't keep apologizing to me."
After saying that, he ignored Lin Xiaoxiao and said, "Um, I wanted to ask, how far are we from the hospital?"
"Ah! Oh, it's still half an hour away." Taoyuan is a bit remote, but there is a small clinic in the village.
But given Lin Xiaoxiao's condition, she didn't dare take her to the small clinic. Before she left, the director had specifically told her to take Lin Xiaoxiao to the hospital.
Unable to take Lin Xiaoxiao to a hospital with more complete facilities, we could only take her to the small hospital in town.
"OK, thanks."
After thanking her, Tang Xue leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and prepared to ignore Lin Xiaoxiao.
This guy really didn't think about his own wounds at all, Tang Xue thought, a little annoyed, but mostly heartbroken.
Lin Xiaoxiao never really cared about her own problems. Even now, despite being so badly injured, she still acted as if nothing was wrong.
She had never even considered going to the hospital before, as if she didn't care at all what might happen to her.
Tang Xue frowned, her heart suddenly gripped, and she couldn't help but let out a soft breath.
Before she met Lin Xiaoxiao, was this person always like this, not taking care of his body at all?
"Xiaoxue".
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little confused; she didn't understand why Tang Xue was angry again.
"Little one!"
Hearing the unease in the man's tone, Tang Xue finally softened, "The one who should apologize is not you, it's me."
She gripped Lin Xiaoxiao's hand tightly beside her. "The reason you've become like this is all because of me. If you hadn't been saving me, you wouldn't have been injured."
"Xiaoxue..."
As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, Tang Xue put a finger on her lips. "I am indeed a little angry. I'm angry that you don't take care of your body, and I'm even angrier that I'm the culprit who hurt you."
"Xiaoxiao, I don't know how you lived before, but I hope that in the future you can pay more attention to yourself."
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's arm, Tang Xue's eyes were full of heartache. "From the time you got injured until now, you haven't uttered a single cry of pain. You've been comforting me the whole time, and your attention has been entirely on me, but you haven't paid any attention to yourself at all."
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected that Tang Xue was angry because she didn't cherish her body and acted as if nothing had happened after she was injured.
She was feeling sorry for herself. Realizing this, Lin Xiaoxiao subconsciously reached out and clutched the clothes at her chest. Her nose tingled and her eyes welled up with tears.
Does the wound hurt? Yes, it hurts. How could it not hurt? Even now, she can still feel her entire arm burning.
However, she had already gotten used to it, used to pretending that nothing was wrong, used to hiding all her wounds.
She was used to taking all the blame upon herself and to facing everyone with a smile, because that was her only means of survival in her past life.
She wanted to hide all her vulnerability; what she wanted to show everyone was her strong and reliable side.
Even though she had changed a lot since coming into this world, these deeply ingrained habits were not so easy to change.
