"I'm really sorry, it was all because of me!" Ye Xiao could only apologize, actually, after he returned to school yesterday, he later forgot about Song Jiaqian due to some issues, which was indeed Ye Xiao's fault!
Song Jiaqian said, "So you know it was your fault, huh, don't you have any thoughts of compensating me?"
Ye Xiao immediately smiled bitterly, he indeed felt a bit sorry for Song Jiaqian, taking her mobile phone and scaring her soul away. So, now that Song Jiaqian had demanded compensation, Ye Xiao naturally dared not refuse, and immediately said with a smile, "No problem, as long as it's something within my capability, I'll definitely make it happen!"
"That's very firm of you to say, but I wonder if your words are true or not!" Song Jiaqian said to Ye Xiao with a slight smile.
Ye Xiao said, "Of course it's true!"
"Well then, since the last meal wasn't satisfying, just compensate me with a meal!" Song Jiaqian said with a laugh.
Ye Xiao said, "Is that it?"
"Since you said it's simple, then treat me to a few more!"
Ye Xiao said, "That's absolutely no trouble, not to mention treating you to one meal, even treating you to a lifetime of meals, I would definitely not say no!"
"Who asked you to treat me to a lifetime of meals? Just wait until I have time, I will surely not let you off for this meal!" Song Jiaqian said, "Oh right, my sister probably knows about yesterday's incident. She asked me several times, but I didn't tell her. Judging by the situation, it's very likely she'll come looking for you!"
"Looking for me? I'm really a bit scared of this tigress!" Ye Xiao said.
Song Jiaqian said, "What are you talking about, my sister is not a tigress. Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore, I have other things to handle. Bye!"
Song Jiaqian hung up the phone, and Ye Xiao smiled slightly, put away his phone, and when he looked up, he found Ling Shuya and Lin Dieying looking at him!
"What's up? Why are you both staring at me like that?" Ye Xiao said with a puzzled face.
Ling Shuya and Lin Dieying looked at Ye Xiao as if they were trying to see through him!
"Who is Jiaqian? How did you hit on her?" Ling Shuya directly asked Ye Xiao!
Ye Xiao immediately said, "What sort of question is that, we're just friends, we met at the hospital!"
Ling Shuya glanced at Lin Dieying who was next to her, a sly smile on her face, then looked at Ye Xiao and said, "You wouldn't have hit on some nurse again, would you? Ye Xiao, can you spare us some concern, this attitude, especially how it affects Lin Dieying, is really not nice for a man who flirts around!"
Lin Dieying, hearing Ling Shuya's words, afraid that Ling Shuya might realize something, hastily said defiantly, "What's wrong with me? If people like Ye Xiao, it shows his charm!"
Ling Shuya smiled slightly, then said, "Yes indeed, what a charm Ye Xiao has, juggling several at once, probably only Die Ying would be so devoted to you, if it were me, I'd have slapped you already!"
Lin Dieying immediately fell silent, her face not looking too good as she bowed her head; obviously, Ling Shuya's words had taken effect!
Ye Xiao saw this, but couldn't really explain anything, he sighed and kept quiet!
Suddenly, the three of them sat in the restaurant, none of them speaking, Ling Shuya smugly making faces at Ye Xiao from time to time!
Ye Xiao was helpless, what exactly did this girl want?
Just then, Ye Xiao's phone rang again, he subconsciously looked up at Ling Shuya and Lin Dieying who were once again looking at him!
These two were really paying too much attention to him, Ye Xiao checked the phone number, it was Zhao Dapeng!
So, he said to Ling Shuya and Die Ying, "Ladies, this time it's a guy, so please don't look at me with such suspicious eyes, okay?"
Ling Shuya said, "Was I looking at you? I was just looking at the phone in your hand, it's still the latest Apple 5s!"
Ye Xiao chose to ignore her, this girl was always looking for trouble!
Ye Xiao answered the call, and immediately Zhao Dapeng's voice came through!
"Brother Xiao, we're planning to make our move tonight!" Zhao Dapeng said to Ye Xiao!
Ye Xiao listened to Zhao Dapeng's words, smiled immediately, since they were moving tonight, and now calling him, he guessed what it was about, and he was right, Zhao Dapeng and Wang Qing were both ordinary people, while Zhang Linju was the leader of their small group. A camel, though thin, is bigger than a horse, so Zhao Dapeng was definitely afraid that if they didn't take out Zhang Linju in one go, it would be troublesome!
Ye Xiao said, "Do you want me to come over?"
Zhao Dapeng was surprised on the other end, he hadn't mentioned it yet, how did Brother Xiao know already!
Zhao Dapeng felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Brother Xiao, we initially didn't plan to ask you to come over, but after discussing with Wang Qing, we both think that to ensure a sure victory, we must ask Brother Xiao to come over, by then even if some of Zhang Linju's men object, they wouldn't dare say anything!"
Ye Xiao didn't plan to go because he needed to stay with Ling Shuya all the time, so he simply didn't have the time. However, now that Ye Xiao had agreed to go, it was mainly for the safety of Ling Shuya. He thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, I'll go. What time?"
"If Brother Xiao is coming, then nine o'clock!" Zhao Dapeng told Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao said, "Alright, I'll be there."
While Ye Xiao and Zhao Dapeng were talking, Lin Dieying's phone also rang. She glanced at the number and immediately stood up to take the call on the side.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Shuya immediately looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Where are you going?"
"A friend asked me to come over tonight, do you want to come along?" Ye Xiao said to Ling Shuya with a smile.
Ye Xiao would absolutely not let Ling Shuya stay alone in the villa; it definitely wouldn't be safe.
Ling Shuya said, "Tonight? I'm not going, you're definitely not up to any good!"
"Heh, that's not necessarily true, as long as I'm not picking up girls, right!" Ye Xiao laughed as he spoke to Ling Shuya.
Hearing this, Ling Shuya couldn't help but look at Ye Xiao suspiciously, as if Ye Xiao really would do something bad.
Just then, the voice of Lin Dieying interrupted Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya's conversation.
"Where is my mom now? Hmm, okay, I got it!" After Lin Dieying answered the phone, she quickly became agitated, especially with the last sentence, which almost half of the restaurant could hear.
Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya exchanged glances, both feeling puzzled.
Lin Dieying immediately walked up to Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, I have an urgent matter and need to leave!"
Ye Xiao had already judged from Lin Dieying's tone on the phone that something must have definitely happened, so he quickly asked, "What happened?"
"My mom suddenly had a spike in her high blood pressure and fainted. My aunt said it might be a cerebral hemorrhage!" Lin Dieying, with anxiety all over her face, walked out while talking.
Ye Xiao followed closely behind; Ling Shuya stood still for a moment before telling the restaurant owner, "Stop cooking."
The restaurant owner watched as Ye Xiao, Lin Dieying, and Ling Shuya hurriedly left, filled with curiosity. What kind of person was this Ye Xiao that something always happened when he came here!
Ye Xiao hailed a taxi, and Lin Dieying and he got into the cab. Seeing Ling Shuya standing outside the car, hesitating whether it was appropriate for her to get in, Ye Xiao immediately turned to Ling Shuya and said, "Shuya, come with us and see!"
Ling Shuya had been waiting for Ye Xiao to say this; after all, she and Lin Dieying were not on good terms. If she went rashly, who knows if Lin Dieying would suspect she was just there to watch the excitement?
Lin Dieying told the driver to go to the hospital, and the taxi driver immediately sped off.
Lin Dieying's eyes were moist. Three years ago, her father had died unexpectedly, and since then, she and her mother had lived dependently on each other. Although life was somewhat difficult, they had each other as support, but now...
As Lin Dieying thought about this, tears streamed down her face. She cursed fate, why did it toy with her, giving her a princess's life for a decade and then a Cinderella-like existence. Such a disparity was too much!
Ye Xiao reached out and held Lin Dieying's hand, and she slowly looked up at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao, looking at Lin Dieying, softly said, "Die Ying, don't worry too much, Auntie will definitely be fine, medical science is very advanced nowadays!"
Lin Dieying nodded slightly, saying, "But... Ye Xiao, you don't understand, I remember my grandmother died from a cerebral hemorrhage, I'm afraid... I'm really afraid..."
The more Lin Dieying thought about it, the more frightened she became inside. She really feared losing this only relative.
Lin Dieying leaned on Ye Xiao's shoulder and sobbed, her tears soaking the shoulder of his shirt.
Ye Xiao wrapped his arms around Lin Dieying's shoulders, patted her, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't let anything happen to Auntie, do you trust me?"
At that moment, Lin Dieying truly felt helpless; nestled in Ye Xiao's arms, she nodded like a dependent bird, but could Ye Xiao really save her mom?
Meanwhile, Ling Shuya, sitting in the front passenger seat of the taxi, saw through the rearview mirror how Ye Xiao embraced Lin Dieying, feeling a sudden surge of inexplicable fury. Yet, considering Lin Dieying was indeed pitiable, she inwardly resented Ye Xiao for taking advantage of others' vulnerability.
It didn't take long for the taxi to arrive at the hospital, and the three of them quickly got out. At the entrance, they met a dignified middle-aged woman who immediately approached Lin Dieying after seeing her.
"Why are you just getting here? Your mom is right outside the emergency room, hurry up and see her!"
Lin Dieying heard the woman's words and hurriedly prepared to go over, but as she walked, the woman said, "I have to leave now, call me if anything comes up!"
Lin Dieying ran a few steps, heard the woman's words, and couldn't help but turn her head to see that woman walking toward an Audi and then driving away.
Lin Dieying then hurried into the hospital. Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya saw the woman leave and suddenly felt puzzled. Lin Dieying had just called her "Auntie," wasn't she supposed to be Lin Dieying's mom's sister? But now, with Lin Dieying's mom possibly in critical condition, how could this person just leave?
