He looked closely and it seemed to be true.

His gaze lingered for a moment on the expressionless woman, who seemed to have lost her soul.

Even the school leaders standing nearby noticed his gaze and assumed that President Qiao had taken a liking to some promising talent.

Following the path, they didn't look like students.

So he opened his mouth to lead the person away, but the next second, a gust of wind swept past him.

Qiao Yiyang ran off in the direction she had come from.

Everyone froze on the spot, then quickly crowded around.

Anna's vision went black, and she thought she heard Qiao Yiyang shouting her name. She quickly lost consciousness.

The school leaders stood to the side, their expressions somewhat unpleasant, "This..."

Qiao Yiyang was the one who reacted first, and shouted loudly to the people following behind her, "What are you still doing here? Call an ambulance! Or better yet, bring the car over!"

Seeing the two get into the car, the school leader's expression changed; his previous embarrassment was now replaced by anger. "What happened? How could you make such a big mistake in front of President Qiao?"

He didn't dare to say anything, and only when he saw students staring at him from the street did he realize he had lost his composure and left.

Qiao Yiyang stared at the woman in his arms for a while. It had been a long time since he had seen her, and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

The flesh on both sides of my cheeks has decreased significantly.

She remembered that just a few days ago, her assistant had called her to borrow money, and that assistant had even gone so far as to collect information about her situation and send it to her, for which she was scolded.

Why is she here again today?

With many questions swirling in her mind, Qiao Yiyang, as if possessed, reached out and tucked her messy hair behind her ear.

The car suddenly stopped. "Mr. Qiao, we've arrived at the hospital."

He stood in the corridor and didn't go in. He waited until the doctor finished the examination and came out before going to greet him.

"Mr. Qiao, don't worry. She fainted because of a sudden shock and her blood rushed to her head. She'll be fine after a rest."

He breathed a sigh of relief, looked past the doctor, and glanced at the woman lying on the bed.

"Okay, sure."

When the assistant rushed over, he saw Qiao Yiyang standing outside the ward.

She quickly quickened her pace and handed him the things she was carrying.

He casually flipped through a couple of pages, frowned, closed the book, and handed it back.

"Take it back and destroy it. Don't spread it around. Keep an eye out for these kinds of comments online. If you find them, try to download or block them. In short, don't let me see them again."

"yes."

After watching the person leave, he pushed open the door and looked at the woman lying on the hospital bed. Even after fainting, she was restless, her whole body curled up like a boiled shrimp.

He had known Anna for so many years, and he had never seen that expression on her face before.

When I was in school, I heard from others that she was a very assertive person who acted decisively. Once, she was falsely accused of stealing something, but she never lowered her head and confronted the person directly.

If I hadn't happened to be late for class and witnessed the theft, I probably would have been unfairly blamed.

I really don't understand. They don't know how to ask for help, they don't know how to find evidence, and they're busy arguing with the other party about trivial matters.

At least that's what Qiao Yiyang thought at the time.

He finally stepped in to help, but was then falsely accused of having an affair with Anna, which angered Anna so much that she slapped the person twice. She was really fierce.

Afterwards, someone asked him, "Why did you help her?" She was the kind of poor person who valued dignity above all else.

Qiao Yiyang simply said, "It was just something I did on the spur of the moment."

Little did they know that the girl who was about to thank them stopped at the corner.

Someone who cares so much about their reputation and dignity would definitely not be able to accept their sister being gossiped about.

He leaned back on the sofa, and the woman on the bed suddenly stirred and sat up.

She found herself in a strange, pristine white environment, with Qiao Yiyang sitting on the sofa opposite her.

She was momentarily stunned.

The next second, glistening liquid silently slid down her cheeks.

Qiao Yiyang was surprised that the first thing she did after waking up was to cry, and she was at a loss.

He got up, walked to her bedside, sat down, and looked her in the eye.

Anna threw herself into his arms, and soon the dampness of his shirt reached her skin.

You can't see her expression, you can only see her quietly shedding tears, her shoulders shaking with each sob.

He raised his hand, which was hanging on the hospital bed, and gently patted her back.

After waiting for a while, the woman in front of him took a deep breath and distanced herself from him.

"Thank you... I'm sorry, I got your clothes dirty. Please take them off, I'll wash them and bring them back to you."

Qiao Yiyang was amazed by the woman's recovery ability; she was able to talk about random things so quickly.

"No need. I've heard about your... sister's situation. Do you need my help?" His gentle voice gave people a sense of reassurance.

At least for that moment, Anna did want to rely on him for help, but she quickly came to her senses.

"Thank you, you've helped me a lot." After saying that, she remembered to raise her hand to check the time, realizing that her mother's surgery was almost over.

Her immediate attempt to get out of bed displeased Qiao Yiyang.

His brows furrowed. "What are you going to do?"

But her body reacted first, and she stopped walking only when the man behind her grabbed her wrist, but she didn't turn around.

"You need to rest now!" Qiao Yiyang's voice came.

She stood there, her sobs, which had subsided somewhat, bursting forth again at his words, "I..."

He didn't utter a single word for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Qiao Yiyang figured she was just trying to escape the shock of An Ye's death, so she walked over to her side.

"Let's go, I'll go with you."

An's mother's surgery was completed long ago and she was sent to the intensive care unit. Looking at her mother, who was wrapped in white gauze and had tubes inserted, her eyes welled up with tears again.

Qiao Yiyang stood aside without saying a word.

His phone suddenly vibrated, and the words "troublemaker" flashed on the screen. He walked aside and answered it.

"Brother, where are you? Didn't you say you were going back to have dinner with Grandpa tonight? Aren't you coming back?"

Then I remembered that we had agreed that my parents would return from their trip today, and the whole family would go back to the old house to have dinner with my grandfather.

I turned around and glanced at the person clinging to the glass.

"Tell Grandpa that I won't be going back today. I've left the painting he wanted in the study. You can take it back with you."

"oh……"

Qiao Yiming pushed open the study door and saw the scrolls inside before the other person hung up the phone.

When she returned, the woman had wiped away her tears, but her eyes were still as red as a rabbit's.

It's really uncomfortable to look at...

“It’s no use you staying here. I’ve found a caregiver, and I’ll take you out to eat.”

Qiao Yiyang had to pull her quite forcefully to move her. Anna was like a puppet, being dragged forward by him, her eyes fixed on the man's back. She followed him forward.
