Chapter 27: The Wrong Person Again
Mu Xingyi was shocked after hearing what Li Qingqing said, "So you asked for leave the other day just because your brother needed surgery?"
Li Qingqing nodded.
"Qingqing, why didn't you tell me such a big thing? Didn't I tell you that I am your master now, and your business is my business. You don't have to worry about bothering me."
Mu Xingyi was a little excited. He felt that Li Qingqing didn't seem to regard him as someone he could rely on.
Li Qingqing was a little overwhelmed. She didn't expect Mu Xingyi to care so much about her family's affairs. However, she did ignore Mu Xingyi's kindness to her. When Xie Ze was in trouble, the first person she thought of was Lu Yan.
If he had borrowed the one million from Mu Xingyi, perhaps he would have allowed himself to work and slowly pay him back? Li Qingqing couldn't say for sure. But now that things had come to this, making such assumptions was meaningless.
She rubbed her fingers and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Master. I was frightened by Aze's condition at the time and didn't even think of asking you for help. But now it's all over. You don't have to worry too much."
Seeing her apologetic look, Mu Xingyi stopped dwelling on this issue. However, he suddenly thought of her brother's surgery fee. Heart surgery costs a considerable amount of money. How could a family like Li Qingqing raise this money?
He looked at Li Qingqing with a puzzled look and asked, "What about your brother's surgery fee..."
Li Qingqing understood his doubts. Mu Xingyi knew her family situation better than anyone else, so of course he would doubt whether their family could come up with the money. So she thought quickly and made up a fairly acceptable reason.
"...The money for the surgery was... My mother worked as a nanny for a wealthy family for many years. They took pity on us and covered my brother's surgery..."
After saying this, Li Qingqing felt guilty and didn't dare to look into Mu Xingyi's eyes. She was nervous inside, not knowing if she could deceive him in this way.
Mu Xingyi nodded doubtfully, "So that's how it is. Then your mother is quite lucky to have met such an employer."
Li Qingqing echoed with lingering fear, "It's quite lucky..."
"Then I'll go to the hospital with you after work. I didn't contribute to the operation, but I should go and show my support after the surgery."
Mu Xingyi always felt a little guilty for not being able to help Li Qingqing.
Li Qingqing hesitated for a moment and finally agreed. If she rejected him now, he would definitely be suspicious again. Anyway, it was just a communication between colleagues, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Besides, Lu Yan didn't urge her to go home at a certain time today, so it shouldn't be a problem if she goes home a little later.
It seems that lying to him that she was having her period was still useful, Li Qingqing was secretly happy.

After get off work, Mu Xingyi asked her to wait for her in the car first, and he would come over soon after getting some things.
Li Qingqing waited obediently in the car. After a while, Mu Xingyi came over with a bulging package.
Li Qingqing was very curious, "Master, what are you holding?"
Mu Xingyi smiled but didn't say anything directly, "You'll know when we get to the hospital."
So Li Qingqing stopped asking.
The two drove to Ruian Hospital. Xie Ze had been transferred from the LCU to the general ward and seemed to be recovering well.
Xie Ze immediately showed a happy expression when he saw Li Qingqing, but then he turned into a guilty look, lowering his head and not daring to look her in the eye. Thinking of what Xie Hongde had done to Li Qingqing before, Xie Ze always felt that he had not protected his sister well.
He had always kept the comic book that Li Qingqing had bought him by his bed, but he never had the courage to open it again, because as soon as he opened it he would remember what had happened that day.
His father, who was worse than a beast, actually did such a thing to his own sister. This made Xie Ze feel that as Xie Hongde's biological son, he was also dirty.
Li Qingqing noticed his mood change, and she certainly knew what he was thinking.
Xie Ze has been like this since he was a child, always considering things from other people's perspectives. He is naturally thoughtful and considerate, especially when it comes to Li Qingqing. Between her and his parents, Xie Ze always sides with her without hesitation.
Maybe it was because he felt that it had not been easy for his sister in this family from the beginning to the end.
Li Qingqing sat down at the head of the bed and touched his little face with heartache. A twelve-year-old child could have such a mind and awareness, which made Li Qingqing think that his heart disease might have something to do with his character.
A hemp rope tends to break at its thinnest point, and misfortune only finds its way to the unfortunate. Sometimes fate is truly unfair.
Li Qingqing couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She held his little face, looked into his eyes, and said to him seriously, "Aze, he is him, and you are you. He made a mistake, and he should be punished. You don't have to feel guilty for him. I don't blame you at all. No matter what happens to them, you will always be my dearest relative, understand?"
Xie Ze raised his round black eyes, thought for a long time, and finally nodded with a relieved smile.
My sister doesn't blame him, she forgives him. The pain and depression she's felt these days have finally eased a little.
Mu Xingyi was confused watching from the side. What were the brother and sister talking about?
"Do you need me to step aside?" Mu Xingyi asked weakly.
Li Qingqing then remembered that Mu Xingyi was still standing next to her. She stood up and introduced him to Xie Ze: "Aze, this brother is my master, you can just call him brother."
Xie Ze looked at Mu Xingyi and called him brother obediently.
"Aze is so good~"
Mu Xingyi was very happy to be called brother. He reached into his handbag and was about to take out the envelope-like package when he heard a middle-aged woman's voice coming from behind him.
"Oh, is this Qingqing's boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the hospital?"
Chen Suyun returned to the ward at some point and saw Mu Xingyi standing next to Li Qingqing. She observed him carefully for a long time and thought that this person must be her daughter's financial sponsor.
Last time, she mistakenly thought that Shen Xing was Li Qingqing's financial sponsor. Later, she recalled Shen Xing's attitude towards Li Qingqing and thought that he might be the financial sponsor's subordinate.
So she observed him more carefully this time. She felt that she would not make a mistake this time. The man in front of her had an extraordinary temperament and looked like a rich man. He was also much more handsome than the last one.
