When Fang Sheng rushed to the hospital, the emergency surgery had already ended and the Fang family was sitting in the corridor outside the ward.

When Fang Sheng saw this, he walked over quickly. Just as he was about to ask about Fang Yan's condition, Fang Qishan suddenly stood up and slapped Fang Sheng directly in the face.

The violent movement caused his head to tilt, his body to stagger, and his ears to buzz.

Fang Sheng covered his face, his mind went blank for a moment.

"I asked you to take care of your brother, but how well have you done so?!" Fang Qishan's eyes widened with anger. "I heard from the driver that this is the second time he has been hospitalized! The driver and Yanyan called you, why did you block them?!"

"We handed Yanyan over to you and asked you to take good care of him. Is this how you take care of him?"

"Is there a brother like you?"

The left half of Fang Sheng's face was numb. He was bombarded with questions and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Fang Qishan didn't care about all that. Seeing that he didn't answer, he got even angrier and wanted to go up and attack him.

It was Cai Lianhua who was quick to act and grabbed his arm.

"What are you doing? Yanyan is still resting in there. What if you wake him up?"

Mr. Fang also spoke at the right time: "Stop it, don't make trouble in the hospital!"

Fang Qishan was so angry that his chest heaved violently: "How could I be making a fuss? I am just so angry! Dad, you are--"

Old Master Fang glared at him warningly, and Fang Qishan finally stopped.

Mrs. Fang finally stood up and said to Fang Qishan, "Forget it, forget it. Fortunately, Yanyan is fine now. We can't blame Shengsheng entirely. He is also busy with work."

It would have been fine if he didn't mention the company, but when he mentioned the company, Fang Qishan felt even more angry. If Fang Sheng can't even take good care of Yanyan, how can he manage the company in the future?

No, he must have a good talk with Mr. Fang later.

Is there any family like the Fang family, where the company is passed down from son to grandson?

Fang Qishan glared at Fang Sheng again before reluctantly sitting back down.

Seeing Fang Qishan sitting down in the chair again, Old Man Fang looked at Fang Sheng who was standing beside him.

He couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart. He was also very disappointed with Fang Sheng's behavior this time.

Before leaving Nanshi, he had clearly handed Fang Sheng over to him and told him everything about Yanyan's illness.

The previous time was just Fang Sheng’s carelessness, but what about this time?

How is Fang Sheng going to explain this time?

"Tell me why yourself." After a whole day of hard work, Mr. Fang was really tired and didn't even have the energy to scold Fang Sheng anymore.

Fang Sheng came back to his senses after hearing what Grandpa Fang said. He raised his head and looked at Grandpa Fang: "Grandpa..."

Mr. Fang didn't look at Fang Sheng.

Fang Sheng suddenly felt something was wrong: "Grandpa, do you also think that I deliberately left Yanyan aside and ignored her?"

Before Mr. Fang could even open his mouth, Fang Qishan said in a stern voice, "Isn't it true? How could it be true that you blocked Yanyan and the driver? We called you so many times, but you didn't answer any of them. Doesn't that explain the problem?"

When Fang Sheng heard these words, his heart suddenly sank, and he looked at the people in front of him in disbelief.

Leaving aside Fang Qishan, Cai Lianhua looked at him briefly for two seconds and quickly looked away. Although Old Lady Fang had just spoken up for him, she still had some resentment towards Fang Sheng, so she didn't even look at him.

As for Mr. Fang, he just closed his eyes tiredly.

Since he did not refute Fang Qishan's words, it meant that he thought the same in his heart.

Fang Sheng could no longer maintain the expression on his face.

He is Fang Yan’s biological brother! He has been pampering his younger brother Fang Yan since he was young, so how could he not take Fang Yan seriously!

Fang Sheng felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. He took several deep breaths before explaining, "There is a reason why I blocked Yanyan."

He told her everything about how he took Fang Yan to the school to watch the dinner and how Fang Yan pretended to faint.

When Fang Sheng said that Fang Yan's condition was stable and that he didn't need a heart transplant, the group's faces changed slightly, but they said nothing and just continued to listen to Fang Sheng in silence.

What Fang Sheng hated most in his life was being deceived, so after learning that he had been deceived, he blocked Fang Yan in a fit of anger, which sounded reasonable.

"So in that case, you didn't do it on purpose?" Cai Lianhua couldn't help but ask when she saw that no one spoke.

Fang Yan and Fang Sheng were both her children. Although she was annoyed at Fang Sheng's negligence this time, she couldn't bear to blame her outstanding eldest son.

"How could I intentionally treat Yanyan like that!" Fang Sheng raised his voice, "You were the ones who deliberately concealed the fact that Yanyan's illness had recovered!"

"When did we hide it? According to you, 10% is not a possibility? It won't recur after it is cured? If it won't recur, why is Yanyan lying in the hospital now?"

"But the doctor said..."

"What does a doctor know?" Fang Qishan interrupted Fang Sheng, "Look at what you are saying. Don't you want your brother to get better?"

Fang Sheng looked at Fang Qishan in astonishment.

After a long while, he finally said in a hoarse voice: "Dad, how could you miss me like this?"

"It's your own actions that force me to think so!" Fang Qishan said angrily.

Fang Sheng's chest heaved violently twice, and he suddenly thought of Ye Chaoran again. Reason told Fang Sheng that he couldn't speak to test the waters at this time, lest he alert his family, but he couldn't help but say, "Forget it, now that things have come to this, I admit it. This is all my fault. If it weren't for me, Yanyan wouldn't have been hospitalized, but this matter can't be blamed entirely on me. Speaking of which, both times Yanyan was hospitalized were related to Ye Chaoran. In my opinion, when Yanyan recovers from this illness, our family should just go back to City A. Ye Chaoran is a disaster star, and there is no need for us to take him back."

After the words fell, the people in front of him had different expressions.

Cai Lianhua pursed her lips and glanced quickly at Mr. Fang.

Fang Qishan was originally furious, but now he fell silent.

Mr. Fang's expression didn't change, he just shook his head slightly.

Fang Sheng's face suddenly turned ugly. A chill enveloped him and he felt as if he was in an ice cellar.

At this moment, Fang Sheng even felt that he didn't need to let the detective investigate any further.

The people in front of him were his family members, with whom he lived day and night, and he knew them very well.

So just based on this one test, Fang Sheng had already guessed their true thoughts.

They actually wanted to exchange Ye Chaoran's heart for Fang Yan!

Are they crazy?

Fang Sheng really wanted to question them, but he held back.

The detective's investigation results have not yet come out, this is just his guess.

All speculations in the world are not necessarily the truth, and he cannot jump to conclusions.

"That is Yanyan's wish," said Mr. Fang. "I have already promised Yanyan, so no matter what method I use, I will let Ye... let Chaoran go home with us."

Soon, Mr. Fang changed the subject: "Okay, since what happened today has already happened, I won't pursue anyone's responsibility. Yanyan hasn't woken up yet. Your grandmother and I are old. We have been here for a whole day. The rest of the time is up to you."

After saying that, Mr. Fang stood up with Mrs. Fang.

As soon as they left, Fang Qishan also stood up.

Cai Lianhua wanted to stay, but was pulled away by Fang Qishan.

The air conditioning temperature in the hospital corridor was exceptionally low. Fang Sheng watched the backs of the people disappearing around the corner and couldn't help but shuddering.

He suddenly felt that the Fang family was very unfamiliar to him.

Was he wrong?

Fang Sheng sat down on the chair tiredly. He hadn't slept for more than twenty hours.

After sitting on the chair for a while, Fang Sheng fell asleep.

In his sleep, he dreamed that the detective found out the results and sent him the information.

According to the information, Johnson did not acquire any large medical equipment at all. The reason why he went to the hospital every once in a while was because he was friends with the doctors in the hospital and he just went to see his friend.

In the dream, Fang Sheng finally let go of the huge stone in his heart and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

…

That night, the private detective took the photos they wanted and was about to go back to report to Ye Zong, when another person stopped his companion and said, "By the way, I heard that the Fang family is not at home now."

His companion understood what he meant: "You mean we can go over and take a look?"

"Try your luck." said the man.

The companion thought for a moment and said, "Then at least send this information to Director Ye first."

"OK."

Although he already had some guesses in his mind, Ye Zong still got very angry after getting the evidence.

"It turns out that their family is not a good one! I was wondering why they didn't look for anyone for more than ten years, but now they suddenly want to look for someone! So they were planning this!" Ye Zong slammed the table.

Tan Zheng picked up the photos on the table and looked at them one by one. His expression became very unpleasant.

"This family has a dirty heart!" Tan Zheng put down the photo and asked Ye Zong, "What should we do now? Should we call the police directly or..."

Ye Zong's chest rose and fell for a while, and he shook his head: "We can't call the police. We don't have much evidence right now. If we call the police rashly, the Fang family can easily put the blame on Johnson."

"With Johnson gone, there will be more people who will help the Fang family for money. They will be more careful in their actions, and it will be difficult to catch them again."

"What should we do?" Tan Zheng was a little anxious. "We can't really wait until the truth comes out before calling the police to save the child, right?"

Of course this is not a good idea.

Ye Zong frowned, and said after a while: "I will inform our partners first and ask them to cut off their cooperation with the Fang family. The hospital that cooperates with the Fang family is a private hospital. We can replace their director first, and their way of buying equipment will naturally be cut off. After that..."

"Shall we go to Nanshi afterwards?" Ye Zong looked at Tan Zheng.

When Tan Zheng heard the news, she smiled and asked, "You finally decided to go?"

Ye Zong snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the child..."

Tan Zheng knew that Ye Zong was just being stubborn, but at the moment she was filled with worry, so she did not refute Ye Zong.

…

Two weeks passed since Fang Sheng left school that day.

During this period, no one came to disturb Ye Chaoran, and life returned to its usual peace.

But Ye Chaoran knew clearly that such peace was only temporary, so he did not dare to relax easily and reported to Jiang Xunmo's house every day without fail.

One morning, Ye Chaoran, Ye Pei and Song Ya went out together.

When Ye Chaoran was changing his shoes at the door, Song Ya suddenly asked, "Ranran, what's that on your neck?"

Ye Chaoran touched the jade pendant on his neck, took it out without hiding it, showed it to the two of them, and then put it back into his clothes. He hadn't figured out a reason to explain the origin of the locator yet, so he didn't plan to tell them that the jade pendant was a locator.

Just as Ye Chaoran was thinking about how to explain the origin of this jade pendant, Song Ya asked with a gossipy look on her face: "Did your partner give it to you?"

Ye Pei nodded: "It doesn't look cheap. Did you return the gift?"

Ye Chaoran was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "It's not given to me by my boyfriend, this is..."

Isn't it a bit weird to say that it was given by Jiang Xunmo?

But just that one second of Ye Chaoran's hesitation deepened the misunderstanding between Song Ya and Ye Pei.

"Okay, okay, no need to explain."

"We all understand."

Ye Chaoran: “…”

This is not clear enough to explain.

But it doesn't matter if it's a misunderstanding, so he doesn't have to make excuses.

The three of them went out together, and Song Ya suddenly asked again: "Was it Jiang Xunmo who sent it?"

Ye Chaoran was startled and looked at Song Ya in surprise: "Mom, how did you guess that?"

Song Ya had a smile on her face as if she had guessed it. She glanced at Ye Pei and said, "I told you it was Xiao Jiang, but you refused to believe me!"

Ye Pei frowned, then relaxed quickly: "Xiao Jiang is a good kid, but his grades are a little low."

Ye Chaoran: “…”

It's over, he's exposed.

Ah, no, it was Song Yaye Pei who misunderstood!

But how to explain it now?

Should she explain that the thing on her neck is not a jade pendant, or should she explain that Jiang Xunmo is not her boyfriend?

Ye Chaoran took a deep breath. Although he felt that Song Ya and Ye Pei would not believe him, he still explained: "Mom, Jiang Xunmo and I have nothing to do with each other. We are just friends."

"Yeah," Song Ya nodded, "Boyfriend is also a friend, I understand."

Ye Pei: "This jade pendant doesn't look cheap. Do you have any money? I'll transfer some love money to you."

Ye Chaoran: “…”

It's really hard to explain.

Ye Chaoran was a little dumbfounded, but what puzzled him even more was why so many people, including Song Ya and Ye Pei, guessed it was Jiang Xunmo.

Hearing his question, Song Ya and Ye Pei looked at each other and smiled again.

"Isn't this simple? You invited so many classmates to your birthday party, and you talked and laughed with every one of them, but you spoke the least when chatting with Xiao Jiang." Song Ya replied with a smile.

In fact, it was not just on Ye Chaoran’s birthday. Before, Jiang Xunmo and Ye Chaoran were followed by gangsters. When they were on the way to the police station to pick them up and take them home, Song Ya discovered that her son was quite nice to Jiang.

Ye Chaoran really couldn't explain himself now.

The reason why he spoke little to Jiang Xunmo at that time was entirely because Jiang Xunmo himself was a man of few words! After he said a few words, Jiang Xunmo just uttered "hmm". How could he continue the conversation?

Moreover, that period of time happened to be the time when rumors about them were the most rampant in the school, and Ye Chaoran himself was embarrassed!

Ye Pei did not forget to say: "Yes, your mother and I have no intention of objecting, but I want to remind you of one thing, you are already in the second year of high school, and next semester you will be in the third year of high school."

Ye Chaoran thought Ye Pei wanted them to focus on their studies, but he didn't expect Ye Pei to say, "Xiao Jiang's grades are really bad. You can't have a long-distance relationship in college, right? Your grades are not bad, and you don't have to worry about the college entrance examination. So you should help Xiao Jiang when you have time."

Ye Chaoran: “?”

Song Ya also nodded in agreement: "Xiao Jiang doesn't look like a stupid kid. There is only one year left. You two should study hard. If it doesn't work, we can pay for you to find a one-on-two tutor. I am quite satisfied with Xiao Jiang."

Ye Chaoran: “…”

It’s really amazing. Song Ya and Ye Pei have even considered their future for him.

Ye Chaoran was about to explain, but he swallowed it back.

Forget it, once Jiang Xunmo finds a partner, everything will be explained clearly.

However, regarding Jiang Xunmo's poor academic performance, Ye Chaoran still refuted: "Jiang Xunmo's grades are not bad, he just simply didn't want to do the test paper before."

Ye Pei and Song Ya were a little surprised when they heard this: "Don't want to do the test?"

Ye Chaoran nodded.

The story of how Ye Chaoran discovered that Jiang Xunmo’s grades were not bad started last week.

In the past, Jiang Xunmo would always sleep on the table during class.

It was rare to see Jiang Xunmo not sleeping, so Ye Chaoran asked the reason immediately.

Jiang Xunmo didn't answer at the time, but only said something inexplicable: "Someone likes it."

After that, Ye Chaoran never saw Jiang Xunmo sleeping in class again.

Not only was he surprised, but other students in the class were also surprised. Even Teacher Wang called Ye Chaoran to his office and asked him how he managed to keep Jiang Xunmo from falling asleep in class.

Ye Chaoran found it funny. Jiang Xunmo wanted to change himself, so what did it have to do with him?

He told Teacher Wang what he knew. Teacher Wang was very happy, his eyes lit up, and he smiled and patted Ye Chaoran on the shoulder: "Whether it's because of you or not, I have to thank you! That's great. In the monthly exam next month, I think two students in our class will surpass those in the top class!"

Ye Chaoran was startled: "What do you mean?"

Teacher Wang gave a somewhat mysterious smile and didn't explain anything.

Ye Chaoran returned to the classroom with doubts.

Jiang Xunmo heard the noise and looked up at him.

Jiang Xunmo was sitting next to the window. Ye Chaoran was standing in his position and could see Jiang Xunmo's exercise book by just lowering his head slightly.

The boy's handwriting was neat and beautiful, but Ye Chaoran was not looking at the handwriting, he was looking at the answer.

Ye Chaoran had just finished the chapter that Jiang Xunmo was working on, and he could memorize the answers. He quickly scanned it and was surprised to find that the answers were all correct!

Ye Chaoran's expression was so surprised that Jiang Xunmo saw it. He tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Chaoran sat down in his seat, his expression serious: "Brother Jiang, are we still friends?"

Jiang Xunmo: “Hmm?”

Ye Chaoran pretended to be serious: "How come you hid this from me even though we're friends?!"

Ye Chaoran pointed to the exercise book.

Jiang Xunmo raised his eyebrows slightly and explained: "I didn't hide it from you on purpose, but there are some things I think it's better to show it with actions than with words."

According to Jiang Xunmo's original idea, he was going to continue sleeping in class and review when he got home in the evening. He first hid the fact that he had good grades, and waited until the monthly exam was over before letting Ye Chaoran see his grades and be surprised.

But then he changed his mind and realized that the school exams were all held during the day, and if his schedule was disrupted, it might affect his test scores, so Jiang Xunmo gave up.

Doing this is not without risks. As a result, Ye Chaoran discovered in advance that I had good grades.

But this is not a big deal. Ye Chaoran likes people with good grades. If I let him know the news in advance, he might even fall in love with me in advance!

Jiang Xunmo pursed his lips restrainedly, trying hard to suppress the joy in his heart.

He was already looking forward to Ye Chaoran's next reaction, but when he looked up and saw Ye Chaoran's expression clearly, Jiang Xunmo was stunned.

Why didn't Ye Chaoran have admiration and joy on his face?

Ye Chaoran was even more confused after hearing what Jiang Xunmo said: "Then when you took the exam before..."

"I usually just answer a multiple-choice question," Jiang Xunmo said, "or hand in a blank paper. The main reason is that I always sleep during the day and I was too sleepy during the exam, so I just didn't do it."

Ye Chaoran smiled: "You are so willful."

When Jiang Xunmo saw the smile on Ye Chaoran’s face, he finally felt satisfied.

That's right, this is the expression he wants to see.

"So what ranking do you plan to get in the monthly exam at the end of the month?" Ye Chaoran asked with a smile.

Jiang Xunmo asked: "Did you rank first?"

Ye Chaoran said: "I'll try my best."

Jiang Xunmo smiled: "Then I'll be second in grade."

They both laughed immediately.

This was just an ordinary conversation, but somehow it got leaked.

Within two days, the entire grade 12 knew that Jiang Xunmo said he would rank second in the grade in the next monthly exam.

Most people just thought it was a joke and didn't take it too seriously.

Only Gu Yao was extremely unhappy.

"He ranked second? He really said that without thinking." Lin Bai also heard the news and couldn't help but say to Gu Yao, "Brother Gu, where do you think he got the courage from?"

Gu Yao's eyes were cold and his heart was full of disdain.

During this period, Gu Yao thought calmly for a long time and finally accepted the fact that Ye Chaoran did not like him.

But how could he be willing to let Gu Yao give up?

He is not worse than Jiang Xunmo, and his grades are even better than Jiang Xunmo's. He, Jiang Xunmo, is at the bottom of the grade, but he is here talking nonsense and saying that he wants to take his place.

What a joke.

"Everyone can brag, so you don't have to take it too seriously. You'll know the results after the exams are out at the end of the month." Gu Yao said calmly.

Lin Bai also laughed: "Yes, let's not talk about Brother Gu for now. His results are so good that even I can easily beat him!"

Several people who were close to Gu Yao knew about the conflict between Gu Yao and Jiang Xunmo, and they all started to talk:

"That's not true. There are so many of us. Who can pass the test?"

"I'll ask him to take a math class, and he probably won't be able to do it."

The others couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The story spread more and more, and some bored classmates even posted a thread on the school forum:

"Do you think Jiang Xunmo will be able to rank second in the grade in the next monthly exam?" 》

The replies to the post are all the same:

cannot.

[Although I like Jiang Xunmo's confidence and courage, being second in the grade is not something that anyone can do. 】

【+1】

[If Jiang Xunmo can rank second in the grade in the monthly exam, I will go to the podium and confess my love to the person I secretly love! 】

[Then I will wash my hair upside down!] 】

[If you want to play, let’s play big. How about I call Jiang Xunmo “Dad” in person? 】

[Screenshot!] 】

…

The forum was lively, but it did not affect Jiang Xunmo and Ye Chaoran at all.

At the end of May, the much-anticipated monthly exam finally arrived.

The author has something to say:

Jiang Xunmo: Let’s smash one!

I will update later QAQ around 2, 3 or 4 in the morning! Come and see it tomorrow morning!
