Chapter 44: Help from a Noble Person
This tragic drama of separation and death of close relatives ended in a somewhat funny way.
A few minutes later, the four members of the Ye family, along with Duanrao and others, all squeezed into the ward, making this relatively comfortable single room crowded.
"Boss Xi, Master Li, why are you also..."
Unlike the Ye brothers and sisters, Ye's father recognized Xi Jingyue and Li Zhaoyang who were following behind Duanrao and her sister almost at a glance.
The Ye and Li families are friends, and Li Zhaoyang is considered a junior in front of Ye's father.
"We happened to be there when Mengzhen called Miss Du. When we knew Zhihuan had a car accident, we came to see him together."
Ye Mengzhen didn't think too much about it. The shock of losing and regaining made her dazed for a moment. When she reacted, she was concerned about her brother's condition first.
"Brother, are you really okay?"
Ye Zhihuan was angry and amused: "Do you really hope that I'll be okay? Don't worry, it's just a superficial injury. The doctor said fortunately no internal organs were hurt. The most serious injury on my body is my leg. It got stuck when I hit it, and it's broken. It will heal after some rest."
Ye Mengzhen finally relaxed, holding his chest with a look of relief: "It's okay, it's okay."
Mother Ye held her daughter's hand and sighed, "It's true that it's not a big deal. Your father sent someone to check out the scene. There's an abyss underneath that place. Fortunately, your seventh brother reacted quickly, otherwise he might have been dragged under by the truck."
When Ye's mother learned last night that her son had been in a car accident, she was so frightened that she almost fainted on the spot. Later she learned that her son's life was not in danger, he only had a broken leg and some minor injuries.
Although I breathed a sigh of relief, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when I heard the people who went to help deal with the matter come back and say that the truck driver who almost collided with them fell off the cliff with his truck and died on the spot. I was both relieved and scared.
Ye Mengzhen only knew that his brother had been in a car accident, but he didn't know the specific circumstances. He was shocked to hear what Ye's mother said.
"Brother got into a car accident because he was hit by a truck?"
"It didn't happen. If it had, what would have happened?" Ye's mother sighed. "The truck driver who had the accident was said to be driving while fatigued. He was carrying a large truckload of goods on a mountain road late at night, and when he turned a corner, he ran into your brother's car."
"Your brother was drunk at the time and was sitting in the passenger seat. Your seventh brother was driving the car. When he saw the truck losing control and crashing into him, he quickly turned the steering wheel to avoid it, but he also crashed into the mountain road beside him."
Father Ye couldn't help but interrupt when he heard this, "Fortunately he wasn't driving fast, otherwise it wouldn't just be the front of the car that got crushed and trapped them. Fortunately, there was a car behind them that noticed their situation and called for help to send them to the hospital, otherwise they wouldn't have stayed on that mountain for who knows how long in the middle of the night."
Although Ye Zhihuan's car accident was an unexpected disaster, after seeing the tragic scene, they had to admit that it was a blessing in disguise that the two of them only suffered minor injuries!
Ye Mengzhen thought of another thing: "Mom, you said that it was Brother Qi who was driving the car when the accident happened? Didn't my brother go out alone?"
The seventh brother that Ye Mengzhen mentioned was a relative from Ye's mother's side of the family. Because his name contained the character "七" (seven) and he was about the same age as Ye Zhihuan, Ye Mengzhen always called him the seventh brother.
"Yes." Mother Ye clasped her hands together in front of her chest. "It was really God's blessing that your brother made an appointment with Ran Qi when he went out. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to think about him alone. He was drunk, and how could he react when encountering such a thing?"
Ye Mengzhen was completely stunned, and then he turned his head stiffly to look at Duanrao: "This is not God's blessing, but the help of a noble person."
"Noble? What noble?" Ye's father and mother looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
Ye Zhihuan was not stupid either. He was the first to react and said, "So you called me every day during this period and asked me to stay out. Was it because someone told you in advance that something would happen to me?"
Mother Ye took a breath and said, "Zhenzhen, is that so?"
"……Um."
"What on earth is going on?"
"Let me do it." Seeing that Ye Mengzhen was embarrassed and didn't know where to start, Du Yuxi took the initiative to step forward to help her out.
The Ye family members then noticed that Xi Jingyue and his companion were accompanied by two young girls.
Father Ye looked at the two of them, but couldn't remember their identities, so he asked tentatively: "Who is this lady..."
"I'm... ahem, I'm Meng Zhen's college classmate. Half a month ago, my sister and I ran into Meng Zhen in a restaurant. My sister grew up in a Taoist temple and can see things that ordinary people can't. She saw at the time that Meng Zhen's brother had been unlucky recently and was very likely to encounter a bloody disaster. At the very least, it would cause physical damage, and at worst, it would endanger his life."
"In order to avoid this bloody disaster, my sister advised Meng Zhen to ask her brother to go out less for the past half month. Even if he has to go out for something important, he must be accompanied by someone."
This was the first time that Ye's father and mother heard about this. They turned to look at their daughter and son and asked, "Is that so?"
Ye Mengzhen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Du Yuxi did not mention the conflict between them in the restaurant that day.
"That's true. When I first heard about it, I didn't quite believe it, but since it concerns my brother, I thought it was better to believe it than not to believe it..."
Ye Zhihuan also rubbed his nose and agreed, "Zhenzhen has indeed called me every day recently to talk about this. Yesterday morning, I had to go out for something urgent. I originally planned to go out alone, but before I left, I suddenly thought of Zhenzhen's nagging these days, and somehow called Ranqi to go with me."
After listening to her children's explanation, Ye's mother believed most of it: "I wonder if your sister is..."
"Um...it's me." Duanrao had just finished speaking when his hand was held.
Mother Ye's eyes were red and tearful. She held Duanrao's hand, which was smooth and soft, but cold, and trembling slightly.
"Thank you, thank you so much. If it weren't for your kind reminder, Zhihuan would be in danger today. I only have one son and one daughter. If anything happened to him, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive either."
Even though they are similar words, they give completely different feelings when spoken by different people.
Du Anrao was not good at dealing with such straightforward and sincere enthusiasm from his elders, so he said awkwardly, "Auntie, don't say that. Miss Ye is a friend of my sister, and my sister's friends are naturally my friends. It's just a small favor."
Ye Mengzhen and Du Yuxi, who unexpectedly became friends: "..."
Mother Ye was more and more moved, her eyes became more and more moist, and she held Duanrao's hand tighter: "Good boy, having said that, auntie still has to thank you very much..."
Duan Rao: "..." Ah, help, who can save me? !
Xi Jingyue saw Duan Rao's miserable expression, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and decided to help her.
"I'm a little curious, what important matter did Master Ye have that made him go out yesterday?"
