Chapter 70 Pick her up at midnight
Thinking of this, Zhao Jiaying completely shook off those unpleasant thoughts, hugged her mother's neck and acted coquettishly, "Mom, I want to drink the bird's nest dessert you stewed. Can you make it now?"
"Of course you can. Last week, your Aunt Li just brought over a box of blood swallows. Mom will cook it for you right away."
"It turns out that my mother loves me the most, and I love her the most too!" Zhao Jiaying kissed her mother without hesitation.
"Oh, you still love Che the most, and Mommy should be second." Lu Mingxia led her to the kitchen. As they walked, she paused and said solemnly, "Yingying, you and Che will definitely grow old together. Only you are the best match for him. Besides, Mom and Dad will let you be together!"
"Well, that's a must!"
The mother and daughter smiled at each other and continued walking towards the kitchen.
Yun Che had been driving away from the Municipal Party Committee compound for some time. He was looking at the scenery reflected by the street lights all the way. The figures of Zhao Jiaying and suddenly Su Xiao flashed in his mind. He quickly stepped on the brakes and pulled the car to the side!
He took out his cell phone and called Su Xiao.
At this time, Su Xiao was sleeping on the family bed in the hospital, but she was not sleeping soundly. She turned on the vibrato and woke up immediately when her cell phone rang.
Is it Yun Che?
He called her so late...
Su Xiao was afraid that it was just an illusion, so she wiped her eyes hastily. After confirming that it was really him, she excitedly answered the phone, "Hello..."
"Where are you? Are you at home?" Yun Che asked.
Su Xiao paused for a moment and then answered yes.
"Come back now." Yun Che continued.
Go back now? Go back to his place?
But……
"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?" Yun Che asked again.
Su Xiao looked at her mother and really didn't want to go over.
Unexpectedly, her mother also woke up suddenly. When she learned that it was Yun Che looking for her, she signaled her with her eyes to go over quickly.
Finally, Su Xiao said to Yun Che, "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Su Xiao walked to her mother's bedside, "Mom..."
"Ache has finished his social engagements, right? He's looking for you? Go ahead, there's nothing for you to do here anyway." Wang Xiurong said with a smile.
"But..." Su Xiao was still worried.
"Silly girl, it's rare that he comes to you in the middle of the night. Maybe he needs you. It feels good to be needed."
Su Xiao vaguely understood what her mother meant, and she felt sad again. She was even more reluctant and worried about leaving.
But in the end, under her mother's repeated urging, she had no choice but to leave.
Just as she walked out of the hospital building, Yun Che called her again. She thought he had suddenly changed his mind and told her not to come over, but he said, "Where do you live? I'll pick you up."
Su Xiao suddenly didn't know how to answer.
“What’s wrong? Is it inconvenient for you to let me know?” Yun Che’s tone was slightly displeased.
"Oh, no, I'm not at home. I'm in the hospital and will stay here tonight." Su Xiao confessed the truth.
Yun Che then remembered that she had mentioned that her mother was in the hospital.
"You just finished a social event, right? Then come pick me up." Su Xiao gave the address of the hospital. "My mother is asleep, and there are nurses watching her here."
"Okay, I'll be there in about 10 minutes." Yun Che said and hung up the phone.
A few minutes later, Su Xiao arrived at the hospital gate.
It was almost late at night and the entrance was deserted with almost no one around.
Seeing the security guard at the gate staring at her curiously, Su Xiao simply walked to the main road. Soon, Yun Che's car arrived. Seeing her standing by the road, he frowned and said, "Why don't you wait inside? It's not safe here at night."
Su Xiao was touched by his concern and smiled warmly at him, "I'm fine."
Since he was driving himself, Su Xiao naturally sat in the passenger seat. In fact, she had ridden in his car before when they went out to play on weekends.
But tonight, Zhao Jiaying had sat in the same seat next to him. Yun Che looked at Su Xiao, and Zhao Jiaying's figure flashed unconsciously in his mind, and his mood suddenly became depressed again.
Su Xiao vaguely sensed that something was wrong with him and hesitated, "Are you tired?"
Yun Che said nothing, gave her a deep look, and then started the car.
No one spoke after that. Yun Che didn't say anything, and Su Xiao didn't dare to speak either, until they returned to their residence.
Su Xiao thought that she would face a familiar passionate storm. After all, he often pressed her down at the entrance and made her hot as soon as he entered the door.
But unexpectedly, he went straight into the house, went to the kitchen and took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator.
Su Xiao changed her shoes and quickly walked over to hold his hand. "Don't drink this. I'll go get you some water."
After saying that, he took the ice water from his hand, quickly poured a glass of cold boiled water and handed it to him.
"You often drink alcohol outside, and your stomach and liver are already affected. Drinking ice water for a long time will definitely harm your stomach even more. Such an important organ must be kept in good health."
Yun Che listened to her familiar mumbling and couldn't help but recall a familiar scene. When he was little, he ate very quickly and drank ice water every day after school. His mother always rambled on and on about the same thing.
Su Xiao felt uncomfortable under his fiery gaze. She covered her hair and changed the subject, "Do you want to rest for a while? Or take a shower?"
Yun Che walked over to the sofa and motioned for her to sit down as well. Then, he asked her, "I seem to have heard you mention your mother being hospitalized quite often recently. What's wrong with her?"
Su Xiao was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Heart disease."
"Heart disease? Is it serious?" Yun Che continued to ask.
"Not really. Normally, it's nothing. I'm just like a normal person. I just get irritated occasionally."
“Your brother is causing trouble again?” Yun Che hit the nail on the head.
Su Xiao was stunned again. After a moment, she said hesitantly, "It's not him this time."
Not her brother?
That's... her father?
Yun Che looked at her thoughtfully.
Su Xiao knew that he seemed to have guessed it, but as long as he didn't ask directly, she didn't intend to tell him. Her mother had already told her not to let him know for now.
"Your father, is he still not working?" Yun Che asked.
"Yeah. He works for a neighbor uncle. Sometimes he does odd jobs, 200 yuan a day, but usually only for a few days."
200 yuan.
In Yun Che's eyes, that was simply not money.
But I have to say that this 200 yuan a day salary is already very good for many people.
Su Xiao also thought of this in her heart, and couldn't help but realize the gap between herself and him.
“I think your mother’s heart disease needs to be cured from the root. I used to know a doctor who is a cardiologist, but he is not in the country at the moment. When he comes back, I will ask him to check on your mother.” Yun Che spoke again after a while.
Su Xiao was stunned, but at the same time, she was delighted. "Is it okay? Will it bother you?"
“It’s just a small matter, why would it be such a hassle…” Yun Che raised his head slightly, subconsciously raising his hand, ready to place it on her hip as he usually did.
But suddenly, he stopped and looked at her thoughtfully.
Su Xiao also noticed that something was wrong with him and was ready to ask.
