Hu Haoran was very anxious seeing Gu Yiming and Xu Mo's current situation. After all, they were childhood friends, and it wasn't easy to break off their friendship so easily. However, he also knew that Xu Xiaoxiao had indeed gone too far before. Since Gu Yiming's attitude couldn't be softened, he might as well start with Xu Mo and talk to him. Maybe they could reconcile.
Hu Haoran immediately took out his phone and called Xu Mo, but Xu Mo didn't answer. He called several times, but Xu Mo hung up each time. Having no other option, Hu Haoran sent Xu Mo a text message: "Xu Mo, let's meet at the two bars tonight at eight o'clock, the usual place, you know it."
To show his sincerity, Hu Haoran arrived at the bar counter very early, waiting for Xu Mo. It was already nine o'clock, and Xu Mo still hadn't arrived. Just when Hu Haoran thought Xu Mo wouldn't come, Xu Mo arrived.
"Xu Mo, you're here," Hu Haoran greeted him warmly, as if nothing had happened and they were still the same close brothers.
"Hu Haoran, what do you have to say? My little sister Xiaoxiao... no, our little sister, we grew up together since we were kids, she used to follow us around. Now she's in a drug rehabilitation center! Have you even gone to see her? Look at her now!" Xu Mo was very agitated, and he got angry just looking at Hu Haoran. After saying this, he started pouring alcohol down her throat.
"Xu Mo, don't get so agitated. Listen to me. A lot has happened since you left. I'm sorry about the little things, you..." Hu Haoran was still speaking steadily to Xu Mo, but was interrupted by Xu Mo.
"Shouldn't I be agitated? I entrusted my sister to you properly before I left, and what happened? Gu Yiming personally sent Xiaoxiao to a drug rehabilitation center, ruining Xiaoxiao's life!" With a flick of his wrist, the glass smashed to the ground. He glared at Hu Haoran, who still looked humble and gentle, and grabbed a bottle from the bar to continue drinking.
Seeing Xu Mo's hysterical state, Hu Haoran remained silent. He thought it was good to let Xu Mo vent his frustration, so he silently drank with him and kept an eye on Xu Mo's situation to prevent any further problems.
Soon, Xu Mo got drunk and began to mock Hu Haoran: "Hu Haoran, what's the use of you coming to me at a time like this!"
Hu Haoran did not answer; drunk people are unreasonable.
"Ha! Still not going to talk? What are you pretending to be a good person for! You stole Qingqing away, hiccup... Xiaoxiao was ruined by Gu Yiming, hiccup... Do you guys want to cripple me too, huh! Don't you!"
"Xu Mo, you're drunk. I won't argue with you. Let's go, I'll take you home," Hu Haoran said, seeing that Xu Mo was getting more and more out of line and that people around them were looking at them. He decided to take Xu Mo away from the bar.
They helped Xu Mo up and the two staggered out of the bar. Outside, neon lights flashed red and green, cars came and went on the wide road, and people enjoying their nightlife began to appear.
The night breeze outside the bar helped Xu Mo sober up a bit, but his mind was still foggy. Seeing that it was Hu Haoran next to him, he started struggling and pushing, not wanting to accept Hu Haoran's kindness. Drunk people may not be fully conscious, but they can be quite strong. Xu Mo pushed hard and managed to break free, but then staggered and veered into the middle of the road.
"Beep...beep..." "Watch out!" Xu Mo felt the light beside him was extremely blinding, and the sound was very noisy. Just as he was about to turn around to look, he was suddenly pushed by Hu Haoran: "Bang!"
Hospital.
Xu Mo woke up three days later, his body aching all over. He quietly looked out the window, trying to recall what had happened. The nurses and doctors around him were examining him, and Xu Mo obediently cooperated without resistance.
With a loud bang, the ward door was pushed open forcefully. Xu Mo turned his head, but before he could react, he was slapped across the face.
"Xu Mo, you can die if you want, but don't drag Haoran down with you!" Ye Qingqing, who had arrived upon hearing the news, said angrily, "Truly, evil lives on! I never thought you would only be paralyzed, while Haoran is still lying unconscious in the intensive care unit, and might never wake up again! Are you happy now? It's all your fault. You and your vicious sister are indeed from the same family, determined to torment us to death before you've satisfied your wishes."
"I..." Xu Mo looked at the furious Ye Qingqing, his face burning with pain. He opened his mouth to speak, but found himself at a loss for words. Perhaps he really had done something wrong. Had Xiao Xiao really done something wrong? For the first time, Xu Mo began to doubt his sister.
"Miss, Miss, please be careful and don't make a loud noise!" The nurse who rushed over said gently to Ye Qingqing.
Ye Qingqing glared at Xu Mo resentfully, then stormed off again.
"Qingqing, Qingqing, don't worry. What if Haoran becomes... a vegetable?" Jiang Hua couldn't bear to say the words "vegetative state." "The doctor hasn't made a diagnosis yet. Gu Yiming has already contacted excellent doctors in the United States and Europe. They will come to treat Haoran again. The medical technology there is much more advanced than in China. Besides, how could Haoran abandon you? Don't be so discouraged." Jiang Hua accompanied Ye Qingqing, gently persuading her from the side.
Hearing Jiang Hua's gentle voice, Ye Qingqing calmed down a bit. She hugged Jiang Hua and said, "Huahua, thank you so much. I'm so glad you've been with me all this time." But tears kept flowing down her face. She still felt empty and panicked inside. The person who gave her a sense of security was now lying unconscious in the hospital bed.
For the next week, Ye Qingqing stayed by Hu Haoran's bedside day and night. As time went on, according to the doctor, the chances of Hu Haoran waking up were getting smaller and smaller. Doctors from the United States and Europe also came. They carefully examined Hu Haoran and studied how to wake him up every day.
Aside from cooperating with the doctor's examinations, Ye Qingqing stayed by Hu Haoran's side every day, refusing to hear bad news: "I believe in you, you will definitely wake up."
Jiang Hua would come over to keep Ye Qingqing company during the day to prevent anything from happening to her. However, after several sleepless nights and being forced to eat only a few bites of food by Jiang Hua, Ye Qingqing quickly lost weight. Her beautiful face turned pale, her bright eyes became dull and numb, and her once shapely clothes were now hanging loosely on her.
Jiang Hua felt very sorry for Ye Qingqing and was very worried about her every day. Gu Yiming felt uncomfortable seeing his wife in such pain, so he directly asked the hospital staff to inject Ye Qingqing with sleeping pills, forcing her to rest, and also injected her with glucose nutrient solution to replenish her nutrition.
