Chapter 21 Heartache

Jiang Jinyue didn't hesitate at all. He strode towards the boy. His movements were mature and steady, but his eyes revealed a childish resentment and worry. "How is it? Are you okay in there?"

"No, I'm fine, nothing happened at all." Bai Yuqing said immediately.

Jiang Jinyue didn't bother to listen to what he said. She looked at his legs and said, "Come with me to the hospital first."

My leg was injured, and I held her down there to hide from the rocks, and stayed here for so long.

You must go to the hospital immediately.

Jiang Jinyue wanted to save time and was about to take him away, but a middle-aged woman's voice called him.

"Xiaoqing."

Bai Yuqing stopped, turned around, and looked at the woman who looked older than her actual age with a gentle smile, "Auntie."

He took the initiative to speak and asked softly: "It was so chaotic going to the police station just now. I wanted to ask you, are you doing well now?"

"Okay, okay, Auntie is doing well." As Chen's mother spoke, tears were about to fall again. She lifted the corner of her clothes and lowered her head to wipe her tears.

Chen Qiang, who was following behind him, roared, "Not good! Not good at all!"

He looked up at Bai Yuqing, pointing at him as if ready to rush over at any moment, "I'm not doing well at all! No one likes me! They all laugh at me! Laugh at my accent! Laugh at my looks! No one likes me! Only my dad likes me! Only my dad is trying so hard to find me a wife! Why! Why did you kill my dad! Why did you let me go out into the world!!"

When he said the last sentence, his emotions completely exploded, "I hate you!!!"

He wanted to rush forward, but this was right in front of the police station, so he was quickly stopped and controlled by the police.

Bai Yuqing glanced at Chen Qiang quietly, then looked at Chen's mother and said, "Aunt Chen, please give me your contact information."

"Okay, okay." Aunt Chen quickly gave a mobile phone number.

Bai Yuqing listened to it and nodded.

"Auntie knew you had a good memory."

Chen's mother's expression now was a mixture of crying and laughing, leisurely and afraid, with a face full of traces of time, full of mixed emotions.

The shouting son, the sensible savior.

She was stuck in the middle, not knowing where to put her old face.

Bai Yuqing looked at the guilt on her face, her head lowering and her body curling up. He reached out and smoothed the hair of this woman who had suffered for half her life. "Auntie, I've got your phone number. When I make money, I'll take care of you in your old age. Please wait a little longer. I'll get back to you as soon as possible, okay?"

With just one sentence, Chen's mother burst into tears again.

"Auntie has already let you down. If I hadn't insisted on bringing him along, you wouldn't have been discovered and you wouldn't have been beaten like that."

"Auntie," Bai Yuqing interrupted her confession, "It's all in the past. If it happened again, I would still do it this way."

Beaten like that?

Jiang Jinyue glanced at the man with an unhappy expression.

He might still have some old injuries, so she took action and tried to pull him away quickly.

But Chen's mother suddenly remembered something, slapped her thigh, and said, "Oh right! Xiaoqing, I met your mother once. I wanted to talk to her, but she was surrounded by so many people."

Jiang Jinyue was stunned when she saw the person she was holding. Bai Yuqing...'s mother?

Bai Yuqing seemed to be stunned for a moment, but it was only for a second, so short that it made people think it was an illusion.

When she spoke again, she used a gentle tone to please the elders: "Auntie, can I ask you a favor?"

"You tell me, you tell me, I will definitely do it for you!"

"Don't tell my mother about me."

"W-why?"

"Auntie, I hope she can have a new life." Bai Yuqing's smile was sincere, without a trace of hypocrisy.

"Poor child, poor child." Aunt Chen kept stroking his arm.

Bai Yuqing just smiled soothingly.

In the end, Jiang Jinyue couldn't bear it anymore and pulled the man away.

At the moment of leaving, Bai Yuqing couldn't help but ask softly, "Aunt Chen, my mom...does she look okay?"

This mature, sensible boy, who took good care of himself and could also take good care of others, finally asked this question with a timid tone in his voice, with a trembling ending, a cowardice of wanting to know but being afraid to know.

"Good! Good! Your mother is dressed so beautifully! She even got out of a very fancy car! There's a group of people surrounding her and listening to her talk!"

Bai Yuqing nodded gently, his mind already sketching out her current appearance. She was living well, that was good.

"Humph!" Chen Qiang raised his head, a gloating smile on his face, "Your mother is doing well, she also..."

“Bang!!”

There was a loud slap, so loud that it startled the police.

Jiang Jinyue also looked over and saw Aunt Chen, who had just slapped her rebellious son, winked at him.

She seemed to understand, but still made a subconscious choice and pulled Bai Yuqing away.

She had a premonition that what Chen Qiang said would hurt Bai Yuqing.

Then don't listen.

"Now! Nothing is more important than your injury! Got it!"

Bai Yuqing's injury was not serious and no bones were broken.

Jiang Jinyue breathed a sigh of relief.

The doctor's next words were, "But young man, you have a lot of old injuries. Have you been injured before?"

Bai Yuqing smiled and said, "No, doctor."

Jiang Jinyue glared at him.

The doctor was suddenly happy, "Oh, young man, your girlfriend really cares about you."

"Yes, I'm lucky."

Girlfriend, he didn't deny it.

So... in his mind, are they... in love?

This incident lasted for a whole day, so the crew gave Jiang Jinyue a day off today.

Jiang Jinyue did not take Bai Yuqing back, but took him to book a room.

This is the best hotel in this small city. Jiang Jinyue booked the presidential suite.

"Hello, how many nights do you want to book?"

Jiang Jinyue took out the card and placed it on the table. "One month."

"What?" Bai Yuqing looked at her in shock. He didn't mind being called a gigolo, but, "Why did you stay so long?"

"You need to take good care of your injuries."

"The doctor said it's not serious and will be fine in two days."

"Oh, why didn't you say 1 hour?"

"It will be fine in an hour." Bai Yuqing immediately changed his words.

Looking at his shameless look, Jiang Jinyue was so angry that she almost laughed.

"Really? Let's go back now and get to the village. I'll be fine."

Jiang Jinyue was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, "30 days, swipe the card."

"Really, there's no need..."

Jiang Jinyue interrupted him, her beautiful eyes flashing with coldness, "Then you can go back by yourself. The crew gave me a day off, and I want to stay here."

At this time, the front desk staff had finished the operation and respectfully handed the room card to Jiang Jinyue. "Hello, Miss Jiang, would you like to return to your room now?"

"Return."

Jiang Jinyue followed the service staff towards the elevator in a casual manner.

Bai Yuqing immediately followed eagerly.

The elevator went up and there were only two people inside.

But the girl ignored him completely.

Bai Yuqing looked at the girl, her eyes obscured by her long eyelashes. He spoke again, his tone filled with dejection, "I didn't mean to do that. It's just that I've been hurt so much since I was a child, so... I'm used to enduring it myself."

Jiang Jinyue's grip on the phone gradually tightened as she looked up at him.

"You...are often injured?"

"Well, I let Aunt Chen go and was discovered. My dad almost broke my leg. Later, a lame doctor in the village fixed it for me. Maybe I was still growing up at the time, so I recovered quickly."

"Your dad is such a piece of shit!" Jiang Jinyue cursed. "Not only did he not take him to the hospital, if it were me, I would have poisoned him to death!"

Seeing Jiang Jinyue's face puffed up with anger, Bai Yuqing suppressed his laughter, released all his strength, bent down, and put his head on her shoulder.

The two of them were caught off guard and looked into each other's eyes through the mirrored elevator door.

"I originally thought I could endure it. Thank you, my..."

Jiang Jinyue's heart was beating like a drum as she waited for his next words.

But he then said, "This kind of injury isn't considered serious compared to my previous injuries. In the past, I just endured it and it got over."

If it was Dai Shuyue who was here at this moment, she would be able to see through his trick of pretending to be pitiful in a second.

But the person standing here now is Jiang Jinyue, the Jiang Jinyue who likes him, the Jiang Jinyue who truly feels sorry for him.
