Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...
Chapter 793 Don't tell him
He Fen's words were pointed, and those present either understood or did not, but they took it as He Fen saying something in anger.
After He Fen finished speaking, she turned and left. Zhou Hui took two steps forward, wanting to comfort Bai Yi, when Wang Ye rushed over.
Why didn't you tell me you were coming?
Wang Ye went to get the films, but the doctor wasn't there, so he thought he'd go sit outside for a while to avoid hearing He Fen say those things to him again when he went back to the ward.
He didn't know Bai Yi was coming beforehand, let alone what had just happened. He was quite surprised to see Bai Yi when he returned.
The onlookers dispersed, and Bai Yi, seeing Wang Ye, deliberately avoided his gaze, not wanting him to notice the slap mark on her face.
"I came to see your mother. This is what I bought for her. Please give it to her. I have something to do, so I'll head back now."
Bai Yi lowered his head, finished speaking, and left, as if he really had something urgent to attend to.
Zhou Yi followed her, saying, "I'll take you home."
Wang Ye's eyes widened slightly.
What's going on? Is it that obvious already?
You're being so proactive in front of him?
Wang Ye suddenly called out to him, noticing that Bai Yi's voice sounded off and she was clearly avoiding him.
Something must have happened just now, otherwise she wouldn't be like this.
Wang Ye suddenly had a bad feeling.
Could this be related to his mother?
He turned to look at Zhou Hui and asked, "What just happened?"
Zhou Hui looked troubled. "I don't know how to explain this to you. You should ask your aunt."
Wang Ye thought to himself, "Sure enough, it's related to his mother."
Even in such a short time, she manages to cause trouble for herself.
Just as Wang Ye was about to go to the ward to find He Fen and ask her for clarification, Zhou Hui suddenly advised him, "Wang Ye, no matter what your aunt did, it was all for your own good. She has had a hard time too. Talk to her nicely and don't act impulsively."
Wang Ye's anger flared up instantly.
Who do you think you are if not the eldest sister? When did it become your place to interfere in our family affairs?
It took Wang Ye a lot of effort to suppress the words he wanted to say about Zhou Hui.
He appeared calm on the surface, but his smile was stiff.
"Thank you for your suggestion, Ms. Zhou, but this is ultimately a family matter, so please don't worry about it. Goodbye."
Zhou Hui's expression was stiff, but she smiled and said, "Goodbye."
As Zhou Hui left the hospital, she saw a familiar car on the roadside.
That belongs to Zhou Yi.
Didn't he say he was going to send Bai Yi back?
Zhou Hui hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the car.
After getting into the car, there was a few seconds of silence before Zhou Hui whispered, "Brother."
Zhou Yi asked directly, "What's going on between you and Wang Ye?"
Zhou Hui said, "I was shopping with my sister when his mother came over to say hello. That's when I found out we were relatives. Later, his mother invited me to her house for dinner, and that's how we met."
After hearing his explanation, Zhou Yi couldn't help but frown. "That's it?"
Zhou Hui turned to look at him, "So what do you think it would be? You don't think I like Wang Ye, do you?"
Zhou Yi looked out the window and said seriously, "I didn't mean that, but you know very well that Wang Ye is married. Your parents have always been very traditional. If they find out that you are getting close to a married man, they will be angry."
Zhou Hui chuckled lightly, "I know Wang Ye, we're related by blood, so it's understandable. But you and Miss Bai aren't even colleagues, yet you're very close to her, and I can tell you care about her a lot."
Zhou Yi's gaze fell on her. "What do you want to say?"
"It's nothing. I just think that if you think you and Bai Yi are just friends, then Wang Ye and I can be friends too. I never thought of breaking up their marriage, but the premise is that they can maintain this marriage themselves."
Zhou Yi frowned slightly, and was about to speak when Zhou Hui said, "I have something to do, so I'll go back first. Brother, if you have time, please come home. Our family hasn't eaten together for a long time."
As soon as Zhou Hui got out of the car, she saw Wang Ye rushing out of the hospital in a panic.
He went to ride his electric scooter while making a phone call.
Perhaps because he couldn't get through on the phone, he simply put his phone in his pocket, put on his helmet, twisted the throttle, and drove off.
Zhou Hui stood there quietly watching him until he rode his electric bike away into the traffic. Only then did she turn her gaze away and walk towards her car.
"Let's use ice to reduce the swelling."
"Thanks."
Bai Yi took the ice cube, and the icy touch sent a sharp pain through her face, making her gasp.
Qiao Xing looked at him with heartache, "You were perfectly fine, how did you get yourself into this state?"
An hour ago, Qiao Xing ran into Bai Yi on his way back from the company.
She was walking alone on the side of the road when Qiao Xing originally wanted to get out of the car and say hello to her.
To my surprise, as soon as I walked in, I saw a very obvious handprint on her face.
Qiao Xing asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn't say. She said she had urgent business to attend to and needed to go home.
Seeing her like this, Qiao Xing was worried about leaving her alone and insisted on taking her home.
With the ice packs reducing the swelling, Bai Yi's face looked much better. Qiao Xing asked, "Now can you tell me what happened?"
Bai Yi lowered his head, his fingertips clenched tightly, unsure how to begin speaking to Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing didn't want to make things difficult for her. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you something to eat?"
Bai Yi shook his head.
Just then, her phone rang in her bag. She took it out and saw that it was Wang Ye calling.
Bai Yi hesitated for a few seconds, then immediately silenced her phone and put it back in her bag.
When Qiao Xing saw that she didn't answer the phone, he figured she probably had a fight with Wang Ye.
But Qiao Xing knew that Wang Ye was always a very good-tempered person, and no matter how angry he was, he would never lay a hand on Bai Yi.
Since Bai Yi didn't say anything, Qiao Xing didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions. She said to Bai Yi, "If you're tired, you can sleep here for a while. I won't bother you."
Bai Yi was extremely grateful to Qiao Xing.
It wasn't that she didn't want to tell Qiao Xing what had happened.
She was in a very messy mood and didn't want to say anything. She just wanted to be alone for a while.
Qiao Xing showed her great respect in a very appropriate way.
Qiao Xing stood up, just about to leave, when Bai Yi suddenly said to her, "Um, if Wang Ye calls you or comes to your place looking for me, could you please not tell him I'm here?"
Qiao Xing subconsciously wanted to ask "why", but she stopped herself in time.
Bai Yi must have had a reason for saying that she couldn't say it out loud.
Whatever the matter, it's ultimately between her and Wang Ye. If Bai Yi doesn't say anything, she can't keep asking.
Qiao Xing nodded. "Okay, I understand."
