I turned to look at her.
Ye's mother is practically the quintessential image of a strong, independent woman in the wealthy neighborhood.
She had glamorous curly hair, wore a custom-made black suit, carried a Hermès Birkin bag, and wore beautiful high heels.

Such a woman has a successful career, maintains her beauty and refinement, strictly controls her diet, exercises intensely in the yoga studio, never slacks off, and always appears beautiful, refined, dignified, and extremely self-disciplined in front of others.
They are passionate about their careers and naturally dote on their children. In addition to encouraging them to become more outstanding second-generation rich kids, they unconditionally satisfy and tolerate their children's needs.
It was clear that she hadn't thought things through before making such an unreasonable request to me.
It was simply because he was her precious son who had just been injured.
I shook my head, took out my phone, and said, "I can't agree. Besides taking care of my boyfriend, I also have to work part-time, and my final exams and assignments will take up a lot of my energy. I don't have time to take care of him." (@UnlimitedGoodArticles, all at Literary City)
Ye's mother was taken aback. Perhaps few people would reject her so bluntly.
I walked out of the ward, and the sound of her high heels quickened behind me. She caught up with me and smiled again. "I'm sorry... Xiao Fu? Did I say something that upset you? Actually, I just wanted you to come and keep Ye Zi company occasionally. I can tell that he wants to be friends with you."
She seemed gentle, but I noticed that she was constantly and subtly observing my expression.
Ye's mother whispered to me, as if affectionately instructing me, "You only need to spend one hour with Yezi every day, and I'll pay you 20,000 yuan, how about that?"
I was stunned for a moment.
Yes, I don't need to go against money.
My hesitation gave Ye's mother an opportunity. She grabbed my hand, tightening her grip slightly, and said, "Xiao Fu, please help Auntie. I'll have someone transfer the money to you right away."
She walked up to me and grasped my wrist. I lowered my eyes, and Ye's mother curled her lips. She had taken the gamble.
I originally intended to go home and pack some things. However, the strange apartment and the landlord's odd behavior made me stop. I turned around and told Lu Qixi about Yu Xu's accident, and asked the luxury goods store manager for a long leave.

“Xiao Fu…” Lu Qixi opened the door, saw me, and I rushed into her arms and burst into tears.
She was a very emotional girl, and before she knew it, she started sobbing as she comforted me, "Don't be afraid, Yu Xu will wake up soon. My home isn't far from the hospital, so you can stay here with me for a while. I'll go and ask for leave for you."
I persevered for a day, and at this moment, exhaustion and pain surged up like a tidal wave.
As dawn approached, the air conditioner gently blew warm air.
Lu Qixi's rented apartment wasn't big, but the room was fully equipped. I slept in the small bedroom in the attic, hugging a soft pillow. I was so tired that I woke up at around 2 p.m.
I quickly got up. Lu Qixi had already gone to the apartment that Yu Xu and I rented and brought my things.
She shook the frying pan in her hand. "Lunch is ready. Let's eat before we go to the hospital."
I curved the corners of my lips into a smile.
After a quick wash in the bathroom, I changed into a white short-sleeved knit sweater and jeans. I swept my long hair aside and tied it up casually with a lace-trimmed hair tie. My face was a little pale, but I looked reasonably normal. I had received 200,000 yuan from Ye's mother as soon as I woke up. Since I had made an agreement with her, I had to go and accompany Ye Fenglin after taking care of Yu Xu.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Fu, I was supposed to go visit Yu Xu with you today," Lu Qixi handed me the hot milk, "but I have a law firm interview today, so I'll go to the hospital to see you after that."
I nodded, looked at her in her formal attire, and gave her a thumbs-up.
Not long after Lu Qixi left, I went out and met a girl selling homemade Christmas cookies on the way. Her face was red from the cold, and the cookies were there but no one was buying them. I couldn't help but buy some, which were decorated with Christmas trees and reindeer cookies with frosting.
There was a high-end flower shop near the hospital, and I remembered that Yu Xu loved to arrange flowers at home, so I couldn't resist going in.
Everywhere there were beautiful, fresh flowers, and in the corner, there were weeping jasmine flowers in white vases.
With white flowers and green leaves, small and exquisite, it looks like a white butterfly dancing gracefully.
I couldn't resist walking over and fiddling with the petals. I love these gentle and beautiful flowers, but I also know they're very delicate. If you move them at minus five degrees Celsius, they'll die in no time. I can only choose the jasmine buds that are still in bloom, and if I put them in a bottle full of water, they can live for a long time after they bloom.
The shop assistant skillfully trimmed the stems and treated them to retain moisture. She picked out a light green lining paper and wrapped my flowers while looking up to greet the new customers: "Miss, sir, what kind of flowers would you like? We can recommend some."
I heard a noise behind me, turned around, and immediately saw a stunning couple that caught my eye.
The girl had fair skin and delicate features. She wore a simple coat, and her long, black, wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders. She exuded elegance and nobility. The man beside her wore a long gray trench coat, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He possessed a natural air of arrogance, handsome features, and an exceptionally superior air.
Was it Lin Zhi'en and Xie Yong? My heart was pounding. They even walked up behind me, and I could hear them talking clearly.
"Is Ye Zi badly injured?" Lin Zhi'en asked.
Xie Yong glanced at the flowers displayed in the flower shop: "He said it was just a scratch on his arm, not as bad as you think."
"Really?" Lin Zhi'en squatted down towards Kui. "Brother Xie Yong, this flower is quite suitable for leaves."
Looking through the mirror, I felt his gaze occasionally lifting up and wandering curiously over me, making me feel slightly suffocated. I calmed down and realized that the more I showed fear and unease, the stranger I would look. I gave a faint smile and accepted the bouquet from the shop assistant.
Yu Xu and Ye Fenglin were both in the western ward, which resembled an apartment and was much quieter than the medical building in front. I entered Yu Xu's room; he was still sleeping peacefully. The room was very clean. I picked up a vase, put jasmine flowers in it, and then looked back at him.
"...Wake up soon, okay?" I said to him in my heart, and couldn't help but take his hand.
Despite trying to be strong, my limbs felt weak, my eyes stung, and I blinked unconsciously, my eyelashes trembling slightly.
I think no one cries as much as I do. I can't do anything. I know crying is useless, but I can't find any other way to vent my emotions, which makes me feel even worse.
I didn't let my tears fall until the nurse came in to examine Yu Xu, and then I quietly left.
My eyes were already misty with tears, but I didn't let them fall. Instead, I took the handmade Christmas cookies I bought on the roadside and went to find Ye Fenglin.
Perhaps because I was looking down, the door to Ye Fenglin's ward was suddenly pushed open. I didn't even notice. The person who came out knocked all the cookies in my hand to the ground. The Christmas tree, the reindeer, the little old man wearing a Santa hat... were all smashed to pieces.
I crouched down, intending to tidy up the mess, when long, slender, pale fingers reached out to me. I looked up, my long eyelashes trembling uncontrollably, my eyes misting over. It took me a lot of effort to see that it was Xie Yong. In a panic, I lowered my eyes and refused his offer to help me up.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." His tone carried a hint of arrogance, but was surprisingly patient.
I shook my head and silently picked up the cookie crumbs on the ground.
His hand paused slightly in the air. After a moment, he half-squatted in front of me, picked up one of the pieces in front of me, and put it in his mouth. "Did you make this? It's delicious."
I looked up at him in surprise.
At that moment, he smiled at me, his handsome and well-defined features relaxing slightly, making him look confident and dashing.
“I’m here to visit a friend, what about you?” he asked me. “I remember you bought flowers, where are yours?”
