Chapter 71 The photo in the wallet is her
Early morning at the old house.
Qin Lan is doing Pilates with her teacher.
A servant came over and said, "Madam, the second madam has arrived."
"Yangyang has arrived."
Upon hearing that Shi Yang had arrived, Qin Lan lost all interest in doing Pilates.
He wiped his sweat and went to the living room.
I didn't see anyone.
The maid said, "It seems that the second mistress has entered the second young master's room."
Shi Yang arrived at the old house early in the morning.
She needs to confirm one thing.
She remembered finding a wallet in his desk during the last family dinner.
There was indeed a photo in that wallet.
Shi Yang opened the desk drawer and, sure enough, saw the brown leather wallet.
After opening it, she turned the photo over so that its back was facing out.
Even though it was already confirmed, my heart still couldn't help but start racing when I saw it again.
This photo clearly shows what she looked like ten years ago.
She was young and innocent, with two braids and a sweet smile.
She was just starting junior high school at the time, and she can't even remember why she took that photo.
Qin Lan stood at the top of the stairs and saw her come out of the room. She asked, "Yangyang, why did you come back so suddenly? You didn't even say anything. Mom asked the maid to make you something delicious. Stay for lunch."
Shi Yang declined, saying, "Mom, I have something to do in a bit, I have to go."
"So, what brings you back this time?"
Qin Lan glanced at her and saw the wallet in her hand.
Shi Yang, trying to cover his ears, hid behind his back.
“I seem to remember this wallet being that brat’s favorite wallet. It’s still here.” Qin Lan reached out and snatched it away. “It seems to be a birthday gift that Cheng’an brought back for him from abroad many years ago.”
Shi Yang watched as Qin Lan opened her wallet.
"Huh? There are photos too."
Qin Lan turned the photo over, her expression slightly surprised. She looked at the graceful young woman standing in front of her, then looked down at the girl in the photo.
"This...isn't this your photo?"
Shi Yang took back his wallet and changed the subject, saying, "Mom, I have things to do at the company, so I have to go now, or I'll be too late. I'll come see you again next time."
Qin Lan's attention was immediately diverted: "Then you should go quickly, or I'll have the driver take you."
"No need, I'll drive myself."
Qin Lan stood at the door and called out, "Then be careful on the road and drive slowly."
Shi Yang drove towards West Kau Yue.
Aunt Cui prepared some meals for the patients, and she needs to go back to pick them up.
When I arrived, I received a message from Wen Huai'an: 【Come to the hospital immediately!!!】
She had no choice but to turn around and go to the hospital first.
...
At the hospital.
Ji Peiheng had already woken up. He stared blankly at the white ceiling, the pungent smell of disinfectant filling his nostrils.
He frowned in disgust, and yesterday's memories gradually returned.
He struggled to sit up in bed, pulled out the IV drip without blinking, and went barefoot to the floor.
Wen Huai'an had just finished his rounds of patients and came to see him. When he pushed open the door and saw him like this, he quickly helped him up: "What are you doing? The medicine hasn't finished yet, where are you going?"
He grabbed Wen Huai'an's forearm and asked, "Where's Shi Yang?"
"She went out on something, she'll be back in a bit."
Ji Peiheng shook him off: "I'm going to find her."
His face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and beads of blood were seeping from the back of his bony hands.
Wen Huai'an pushed him onto the bed, his usually gentle face unusually stern: "Don't you know your own body condition? You knew how dangerous stomach bleeding was three years ago, didn't you? Shi Yang is an adult, she has her own freedom, she won't lose it. The most important thing for you is to take care of your health. Look at the pathetic state you are in now."
He'd be willing to die for a woman.
Wen Huai'an simply couldn't bear to look.
Ji Peiheng calmed down, sat back on the bed, and asked after a moment of silence, "When can I be discharged from the hospital?"
Seeing that he had regained some composure, Wen Huai'an said gently, "About a week."
He pressed the call button, and the nurse came in to re-insert the injection.
"Chu He came yesterday too, do you remember?"
Wen Huai'an hesitated whether to tell him about Chu He and Shi Yang's encounter and how he almost caused trouble because of him.
The man gave a faint "hmm".
Now it was Wen Huai'an's turn to be surprised, and his voice rose: "You know?"
Ji Peiheng said irritably, "I'm drunk, not dead."
He heard Chu He calling him, but he was too drunk to open his eyes and look at her.
Noticing his hesitation, Ji Peiheng glanced at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Just as Wen Huai'an was organizing his thoughts on how to talk to him, there was a noise at the door.
Shi Yang has arrived.
Ji Peiheng's gaze lingered on her for only a moment before shifting away.
His face was cold and indifferent.
Wen Huai'an was dumbfounded, clicking his tongue in amazement.
I don't know who it was that, as soon as they woke up, started acting like they were going to die and had to go looking for someone.
Really dressed...
Of course, he couldn't expose his good brother.
She stood up sensibly to make room for them: "Now that you're here, sister-in-law, the responsibility of taking care of my brother is in your hands. I still have to go check on the patients."
As soon as Wen Huai'an left, the ward fell silent, filled with an eerie awkwardness.
No one spoke; it was so quiet that you could even hear the call bell ringing intermittently in the hallway.
Shi Yang broke the silence first: "How are you?"
Ji Peiheng lowered his eyes and scoffed, "You're disappointed, you're still alive."
Shi Yang: "..."
She comforted herself, telling herself that she needed to be more patient with her patients.
He said in a gentle tone, "Your death will do me no good, so there's no question of disappointment."
Another cold sneer came from the bed: "If I die, you can remarry, right?"
Shi Yang couldn't take it anymore and retorted, "You're just suffering from a stomach hemorrhage. Even if I wanted you to die, you wouldn't."
He said, "You really do want me dead."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yang immediately got up and walked out.
She needs to see a doctor to see if the stomach bleeding will affect her brain.
Is he out of his mind?
When Ji Peiheng saw that she was about to leave again, he hurriedly tried to get out of bed, but he couldn't move because he still had an IV drip in his hand.
A sudden inspiration struck.
He cried out in pain.
As expected, Shi Yang stopped and turned back with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?"
He looked up and met her clear, bright eyes. He saw his own reflection in them. Her eyes were full of care and worry.
I understood in an instant.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly. All this time, wasn't it just that he wanted to see his own reflection in those eyes?
Never mind, she doesn't like him.
He accepted it, as long as she could stay by his side.
Shi Yang saw that he was not speaking and was staring at her intently, and her heart tightened: "Are you feeling very unwell? I'll call the doctor right now."
As she spoke, she was about to press the call bell by the bedside.
A strong force came from her wrist, and she was pulled onto the bed, where she was spun around and pinned down.
Your hand...
She was worried that he was still receiving an IV drip.
The man possessed a ruthless, reckless spirit.
Her sickly lips pressed against mine.
"Hmm..."
