"I'm not going to help you with that. You're so close to my brother. Missing a year's worth of gifts won't hurt you. Why don't you just pack yourself up and send yourself to him? Hehe, if you could really be my sister-in-law, I'd be more than happy to accept it."
"Shushu, you're here again." Bai Xiaoruo said helplessly.
Shushu wasn't this gossipy before, but now she's increasingly fond of talking nonsense.
"Xiaobai, I'm serious. You need to get well soon, and I'll bring you the gift to school then."
"Okay, okay, I'll try."
Bai Xiaoruo had just hung up the phone when the nurse pushed in dinner.
Apart from Xuan Mingyu coming over for a few minutes in the morning, Bai Xiaoruo hasn't seen him come here all day.
It's better that he didn't come; it saves us from having any more unpleasantness.
......
When Xian Mingyu returned home after work, he turned on the living room light. The house was quiet. The remaining bloodstains and broken vase from last night had already been cleaned up by the cleaning lady.
Then it dawned on me that Bai Xiaoruo had already been admitted to the hospital and was no longer at home.
He sat silently on the sofa.
Gu Yao investigated two sets of information for Xian Mingyu: one was Ji Ziqian's personal information, and the other was a detailed record of Bai Xiaoruo's whereabouts after she left home yesterday morning.
Because her phone has GPS tracking, it's not difficult to find out where she went.
Ji Ziqian, the eldest son of the Ji Qiu Group and the only son of the Ji family, has a younger sister named Ji Shushu, who is two years younger than him. He is a junior majoring in finance at K University and is currently doing an internship. Ji Ziqian's father and Bai Minglei are longtime friends. Since childhood, he has often visited the Bai family. Bai Minglei and Song Meiyan are eager to arrange a marriage between Bai Xiaofu and the Ji family, but due to Ji Ziqian's unwillingness and the obstruction of Madam Ji, this idea has been put on hold for a long time.
Ji Ziqian's younger sister, Ji Shushu, is Bai Xiaoruo's classmate and best friend. He and Bai Xiaoruo are also childhood sweethearts who have known each other since they were young. Their relationship has been very close for more than ten years. This is what the information says. Xuan Mingyu stared at the word "close" for a long time. Close? Does it mean as close as lovers?
Xuan Mingyu had no interest in looking at it anymore and simply threw the document under the sofa.
However, the information about Bai Xiaoruo left Xuan Mingyu completely baffled.
She actually went out with her grandfather, and when she returned, her grandfather's driver personally took her to her doorstep.
Since she didn't go out with Ji Ziqian, why is she unwilling to explain when facing me?
The tracking records can only show where she went, but not who she met.
It's not that we can't find out, but the places they went to were strictly guarded by the Xian family's high-ranking bodyguards, making it impossible to find out who they were meeting.
The only thing they could find was that Bai Xiaoruo was carrying a birthday cake box when she went in.
A birthday cake? Is it someone's birthday inside? Who could it be that Grandpa kept it a secret, even from himself, and only brought Bai Xiaoruo along, and that little girl was equally tight-lipped, unwilling to reveal a single word to him?
Xian Mingyu felt it was necessary to go to the hospital to see Bai Xiaoruo again later, and to find out what she and her grandfather were doing at the nursing home yesterday, and who they were visiting.
***
After dinner, since Bai Xiaoruo was not in a convenient position to take a shower, the nurse brought her hot water and a hot towel, unbuttoned Bai Xiaoruo's hospital gown, and gently wiped her body with the hot towel.
"Miss, I need to remove your gauze and change your dressing first. It might hurt a little, please bear with it."
"Yes, I will."
Bai Xiaoru clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and silently reassured herself again and again, "It doesn't hurt, it will pass in a moment. It will be fine soon after the medicine is applied."
The nurse didn't help Bai Xiaoru put her top on completely. To make it easier to apply medicine to her injured arm, the top had to slip down halfway, revealing her fair skin and sexy shoulders.
The nurse carefully cut the bandage with small scissors, revealing large, uneven scars on Bai Xiaoruo's arm. Bai Xiaoruo closed her eyes and turned her face away, unable to look.
It hurts so much even before the medicine is applied.
She clenched her teeth to keep herself from making a sound.
The nurse took out two cotton swabs, dipped them in some medicine, and gently applied it to Bai Xiaoruo's wound.
The medicine seeped into her flesh, stinging intensely. Bai Xiaoruo couldn't bear it any longer, her body trembling uncontrollably. "It hurts...it hurts so much..." Tears welled up in her eyes from the pain. She didn't want to have the medicine changed again. How many more times did she have to go through this painful process?
"Miss, please bear with it, it will be over soon." Seeing Bai Xiaoruo keep crying out in pain, the nurse became nervous and sped up the application of medicine on her hands, but she ignored Bai Xiaoruo's actual feelings and forgot to be gentle.
The wound started bleeding again.
Large beads of sweat slid down her forehead, and her face turned deathly pale. Bai Xiaoruo wanted to pull her hand back; she simply couldn't take it anymore.
"It hurts... Waaah... No... No... It hurts so much..."
The nurse continued what she was doing when suddenly a large, fair hand grabbed her hand and lifted her up. "Have you been deaf all those times she said it hurts? Didn't you see her wound is bleeding?"
"Mr. Xian, no, it's not like that, I, I didn't mean to..." The nurse was so frightened when she saw Xian Mingyu that she couldn't speak properly. He was gripping her wrist tightly, and she felt like he was about to break her bones.
