Jiang Zhiming said to Ye Wenyu, "I'm going back right now. Can you come with me?"
Ye Wenyu shook her head, her large, deep eyes, like the waters of a mountain lake, coldly gazing into the distance.
She's not that stupid; she refuses to get involved!
Jiang Zhiming said, "I see that Cai Wenchuan is not in good condition, as if he is seriously ill. Don't you care about him?"
Ye Wenyu's heart stirred. She knew that she couldn't completely ignore someone in a short time. He had given her so much warmth and care, and she couldn't be so indifferent. So, Ye Wenyu said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Jiang Zhiming smiled with delight.
Half an hour later, Ye Wenyu and Jiang Zhiming arrived at the hospital. Lin Tingyue had already come out of the emergency room. The surgery was successful, and she was saved. However, the police were also present. It was a serious traffic accident; Lin Tingyue had injured six pedestrians riding electric bikes and would be responsible for huge compensation. The police wanted to take her away, but the hospital staff said that she had just come out of the emergency room and it was not appropriate to take her away at that time.
The ward was like a pot of boiling porridge, with people pulling and shoving, making a huge fuss and creating complete chaos.
Ye Wenyu looked up, searching for Cai Wenchuan, and saw him quietly watching over Lin Tingyue, holding her hand. Lin Tingyue had already woken up, and upon seeing the police, she immediately shrank into Cai Wenchuan's arms like a frightened child, pleading, "Xiao Wenzi, save me, Xiao Wenzi, save me! I didn't mean to. My shoe got stuck, and I couldn't brake, so I crashed into it!"
The policeman's face changed color upon hearing this.
Lin Tingyue's eyes were brimming with tears, like the most docile little lamb, looking utterly pitiful.
Cai Wenchuan's face also paled. He gently patted Lin Tingyue's shoulder and said to the police, "Officer, you can have someone guard this place. This is my ID card. When she feels better, I will accompany her to the police station to give a statement. In addition, we have notified the insurance company. It was our fault, and we will take full responsibility for compensation. We ask for the forgiveness of the injured party's family."
Upon hearing Cai Wenchuan's words, and considering the doctor's earlier statement, the police nodded in agreement, leaving one person to guard the area before leaving.
The ward finally quieted down, like a silent valley.
"Xiao Wenzi, thank you. You're still the best to me." Lin Tingyue, like a relaxed little bird, happily flew into Cai Wenchuan's arms. Her face was like the most beautiful rose petals, and her eyes were like pools of autumn water. She was a beauty loved by everyone.
Ye Wenyu watched them silently, her large eyes bloodshot, her inner pain indescribable.
Cai Wenchuan held Lin Tingyue tightly and asked her gently, "What happened?"
Lin Tingyue wept uncontrollably in his arms, like the most delicate flower. Cai Wenchuan reached out to wipe away her tears, as if the world consisted only of the two of them, with no one else around.
Jiang Zhiming was stunned. He felt all the blood rush to his head, his face turned ashen, and his hands clenched into fists.
Ye Wenyu was almost petrified.
Lin Tingyue leaned against Cai Wenchuan's chest, tears welling in her eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "It's my older brother, he won't give me anything! I was so angry, I had a fight with him, and we broke off our sibling relationship. I ran out in my high heels. I didn't have time to change my shoes, and I was too ashamed to go back and change them, so I drove in high heels. Xiao Wenzi, I'm usually very careful when I drive. I never drive in high heels before. But suddenly my heel got stuck, and I couldn't step on the brakes. The car just kept crashing forward."
Cai Wenchuan sighed and said softly, "Okay, I know. You didn't mean it. Don't be afraid, everything will be alright."
Jiang Zhiming and Ye Wenyu stood like two wooden pillars, watching the scene unfold before them. After the police, doctors, and nurses left, the ward resembled a beach after the tide had receded, leaving only Jiang Zhiming and Ye Wenyu.
However, the two of them talked sweetly for a long time, but treated Jiang Zhiming and Ye Wenyu as if they were invisible.
Jiang Zhiming coughed painfully, to show his anger and his presence.
Cai Wenchuan raised his head, and when he saw Ye Wenyu's face, which looked like a dead man, he released his embrace in a flash. At the same time, Lin Tingyue also saw Jiang Zhiming and immediately pushed Cai Wenchuan away forcefully.
Ye Wenyu and Jiang Zhiming didn't want to face it, and they both turned to leave without prior arrangement.
The two bodies collided violently, then separated like a ball. A sharp pain shot through Ye Wenyu, making her dizzy.
Cai Wenchuan and Lin Tingyue's voices rang out simultaneously. Cai Wenchuan hesitated before calling out, "Xiaoyu—"
Lin Tingyue's clear, bell-like voice rang out urgently: "Zhiming, you've misunderstood. Xiaowenzi and I grew up together. He's the son of my family's housekeeper, so there's no way there could be anything between us, ha—"
Ye Wenyu was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
Cai Wenchuan is actually the son of a servant in the Lin family! So after the Cai family moved away from her neighborhood, they went to work as servants for the Lin family, and Uncle Cai and Aunt Cai became servants of the Lin family?!
She suddenly looked up, her heart pounding like an eighteen-wheeled truck overturned. Her eyes widened as she stared at Cai Wenchuan with an incredulous expression.
Cai Wenchuan had somehow gotten up from the bedside as if he were being burned, his face was so red it was almost bleeding, his whole body was trembling, and his two hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists.
For some reason, Ye Wenyu suddenly felt sorry for Cai Wenchuan.
He certainly didn't want others to know his true identity—the servant's son?! No matter how successful he was outside, his family of origin was like glue, inseparable, like a brand etched into his bones from birth, something no one could escape. He must have always been resentful of this identity, which is why he always refused to go back to his parents' house during holidays, and he always avoided talking about his parents when she mentioned them to his face.
The long-standing doubts in my heart, about Cai Wenchuan's strange behavior and the Cai family, finally found their answers at this moment.
However, she was so saddened when she learned the truth.
Therefore, Ye Wenyu wisely turned around and prepared to leave. Her life had already been difficult enough; she didn't want to face such a melodramatic relationship. If the person she loved didn't love her back, then it would be easy to part ways amicably. Her life was short, and she didn't want to waste it on someone who didn't love her.
As for Cai Wenchuan's background, since she didn't love him, it was naturally irrelevant to her. There was nothing shameful about being the son of a servant; earning his own income through labor was a legitimate profession, and she didn't look down on him for it. However, she also discovered that Cai Wenchuan always looked down on her, and he was always deeply insecure.
What a show!
