Chapter 113 The Real Rong Jin Appears
Xie Li was completely dumbfounded and couldn't understand why. After all, he wasn't familiar with Duan Yi and had no connection with the three major families. So why did Duan Yi suddenly come to visit him while he was lying in the hospital?
Xie Li was completely baffled, but he dared not be negligent in the slightest. After all, this was a rare and distinguished guest, and if possible, he would like to build a little more relationship with him.
It wouldn't do him any harm. You know how many people want to get on good terms with the three major families? They just haven't found the right opportunity yet.
When Xie Li saw Duan Yi push open the door and stand smiling in front of the room, he was stunned for a moment. After a turmoil of emotions, he pretended to be calm and forced a smile: "Patriarch Duan... what brings you here?"
Xie Li remembered that he had never spoken to Duan Yi before, and he knew nothing about this person. He only had a superficial understanding of him based on the news. Now that Duan Yi was standing in front of him, Xie Li was a little nervous.
After all, he himself didn't understand whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Duan Yi closed the door and followed Jiang Yang in, his face still bearing a warm smile. He slowly said with a smile, "I just happened to be passing by and thought I'd come and see if Young Master Xie is feeling any better?"
Xie Li forced a smile. He didn't believe a word of Duan Yi's words about just passing by. After all, didn't he know that Duan Yi, a person of high position and power, was usually extremely busy? How could he have the time to just pass by and come to see a stranger with whom he had no connection?
However, since he had said that, Xie Li naturally couldn't contradict him in front of him, so he could only smile apologetically and say, "Thank you for your concern, Patriarch Duan. I'm much better now, thanks to..."
Xie Li originally wanted to make some polite remarks about how he was fortunate to have received a blood donation from a kind person, but after thinking about who that so-called "kind person" was, he stopped midway through his sentence and couldn't bring himself to say it.
Because he genuinely felt that Shen Jin was unworthy. Although a doctor said that the surgery was successful because he was willing to donate blood, Xie Li did not think so. On the contrary, he felt that it was Shen Jin's own honor. After all, it was good that his lowly blood could save a noble person like him.
"Hmm?" Duan Yi seemed not to understand why he suddenly paused. He raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and looked at Xie Li on the hospital bed with a smile. His peach blossom eyes were particularly charming.
Xie Li's heart skipped a beat as he was stared at by those eyes. He thought those eyes were beautiful, but they seemed to hide too much murderous intent, as if they could see right through a person, which made Xie Li shudder.
Xie Li tried his best to suppress his emotions and forced a friendly smile: "I've seen the Duan family head in various news reports before. Meeting you today, you look much better than in the photos. You are indeed young and promising, with outstanding demeanor."
"Not at all." Duan Yi smiled, his expression unchanged. He turned to look at Jiang Yang beside him, took the basket of fruit from his hand, and placed it on the table next to Xie Li. He said with a smile, "I just happened to pass by a small supermarket, so I bought some fruit."
"Thank you." Xie Li sat up from the hospital bed, leaning back, his mind tense and somewhat nervous. He was unsure why Duan Yi had come, and he didn't want to ask directly.
Duan Yi seemed to sense his nervousness, smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone, "Young Master Xie, there's no need to be nervous. I'll be here. I just have something I'd like to discuss with you."
Xie Li's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Duan Yi must have come with a purpose, but he couldn't understand why. What benefit could Duan Yi possibly gain from him?
If the person in front of him were that poor, penniless Shen Jin, he could probably guess his purpose. But he was not, and he was the powerful head of the Duan family. So what benefits could Shen Jin possibly want from him?
It can't be...
Xie Li shook his head, trying not to think about it too much. Although he was very confident in his appearance, Duan Yi in front of him was clearly superior, the most handsome person he had ever seen...
He didn't think such a person would have any improper thoughts about him, nor had he heard that Duan Yi was fond of men.
"I wonder what the Duan family head wants to say to me?" Xie Li smiled, trying his best to maintain his composure. "Whatever it is, it makes me very happy, and it is my honor."
“There is something,” Duan Yi said with a half-smile, his peach blossom eyes narrowing slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he continued, “It’s just that there’s something that might require Young Master Xie’s cooperation…”
His voice was somewhat deep, which sent a chill down Xie Li's spine and made him even more nervous. He looked at his face, trying to figure out what he was thinking, but he remained smiling and unmoved.
Therefore, Xie Li could only shift his gaze to another person beside him, but his attendant was just like his master, one smiling broadly and the other expressionless, so Xie Li really couldn't figure out what was going on.
"I'm not quite sure what you're talking about, but you can tell me first. I'll definitely cooperate if it's something I can do..." Xie Li had a feeling that this matter was definitely not simple, and he was also a little excited deep down.
Duan Yi wore a string of Buddhist prayer beads on his left wrist. When he was silent, he liked to slowly rub the beads on his left wrist, then squint his beautiful peach blossom eyes, paying attention to other people's reactions and every move, in order to figure out a person.
Duan Yi was somewhat disappointed by Xie Li, because his temperament was so different from Rong Jin's; they were like two completely different people. Xie Li gave him a sharp and extreme feeling, which was not very likable.
This kind of person isn't really suited to playing a tragic role like a long-lost son... Well, of course, Duan Yi wasn't looking for him about this; he had other plans...
"I heard that Young Master Xie was once someone President Yan liked?" Duan Yi asked with a smile.
Xie Li was taken aback, feeling a little embarrassed by his gaze. He could only gently look away and say dryly, "Does Patriarch Duan also listen to these kinds of gossip?"
"It's alright, I just find it quite interesting," Duan Yi said with a smile that didn't change his expression. "Young Master Xie probably just woke up, and there are probably many things that others haven't had time to tell you yet?"
Xie Li nodded in agreement with Duan Yi's words: "That's true. My brother wants me to rest well, so he hasn't told me many things. Maybe he doesn't want me to feel bad after hearing them."
Duan Yi just mentioned Yan Yu, and when he asked his brother about Yan Yu, his brother was clearly unwilling to say much. But now Duan Yi mentioned it casually, making Xie Li vaguely feel that Duan Yi's purpose in coming to find him might be related to either Yan Yu or Shen Jin...
"Tsk, what's so good about Shen Jin that even Duan Yi cares about him?" Xie Li thought viciously to himself. Just the thought that Duan Yi's visit to find him might be related to Shen Jin filled him with an indescribable jealousy.
"Some time ago, at the Rong family banquet, President Yan saw a handsome young man and couldn't wait to chase after him. After that, President Yan didn't show up again for a long time," Duan Yi said with a smile. "By the way, the young man that President Yan chased after seems to be named Shen Jin."
Xie Li's eyes instantly dimmed, and he gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear Shen Jin to pieces!
Even though he was in a very bad mood, he didn't want to show it in front of Duan Yi, so he forced a smile and said, "Really... I didn't know. Then... where is Yan Yu now?"
Duan Yi smiled enigmatically: "I heard that President Yan has taken that young man to live a life with just the two of them. Perhaps he wants to enjoy some time alone with his partner for a while? I'm not sure, there hasn't been any sign of him lately."
Xie Li's expression turned even more unpleasant, but Duan Yi seemed oblivious, smiling faintly as he said, "Judging from Young Master Xie's expression, it seems you don't like this Chen Jin very much. Coincidentally, I don't like him much either. I think it's not good for him to suddenly appear and snatch other people's things like this."
He didn't look at Xie Li's face when he said this. Instead, he calmly looked out the window with a calm yet profound gaze, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he wanted to do or what his purpose was.
Xie Li tried hard to remain calm, not wanting to be led astray, and asked him, "What exactly is your purpose in telling me all this?"
Duan Yi narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully.
Apart from Duan Yi, Xie Li, and Jiang Yang, who remained silent, no one else knew what happened at the hospital.
Meanwhile, on the coast, Shen Jin couldn't find a chance to leave. Even though Yan Yu would take him out, he kept a close eye on him and didn't give him the opportunity at all, always on guard against him.
At Rong's house, Rong's mother looked distressed. She had lost a lot of weight recently, partly because of Shen Jin's situation and partly because of that DNA report online, which almost drove her crazy.
We saw a glimmer of hope, but it still ended up like this. Why?
"Is there still no clear result regarding the DNA origin?" Rong's mother asked weakly. This was the matter that concerned her the most right now, and she couldn't sleep well until she found out the truth.
Rong Lan frowned, remained silent for a while, and then let out a soft sigh: "The investigation is already underway, and the results should be available soon."
A few days later, a piece of news swept in and became the topic of discussion among everyone. Even Shen Jin and Yan Yu, who were staying on the coast, heard about it.
"Don't listen to that nonsense, don't worry about it. The most important thing for you right now is to take good care of your health." Yan Yu patted Shen Jin's shoulder, glanced at a news article on his phone, and paused slightly.
The headline clearly stated the words: "The real Rong Jin has appeared."
