Chapter 197: Leaving
"Run away?"
On the other end of the phone, the man's voice was somewhat gloomy and questioning.
"It's such a big hospital, and people just run away like that?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Although the man had restrained himself, the nurse who answered the phone was still stunned by his aggressive behavior.
She held the receiver like a hot potato, looked at Lu Qinghe for help, opened her mouth and whispered "Help."
Lu Qinghe's face was expressionless. He stepped forward to take the call and said to the other end, "Comrade Xiao Yan, please pay attention to your attitude when speaking."
"She is such a big person, she has hands and feet, she ran away by herself, and left a message on the table, saying that she was going out for a walk."
Speaking of this matter, Lu Qinghe also had a rare headache.
Even he didn't expect that Xu Xiaoyue had such a bad temper. Just because she didn't want to be hospitalized, she used the excuse of going downstairs to bask in the sun and ran away when the nurses were not paying attention.
In his opinion, the girl was a dodder kept in captivity by Yan Ye. Without the man, she didn't even know what to do. He didn't expect that this dodder would one day stage an escape drama in front of everyone.
Lu Qinghe briefly described the process, and regardless of how gloomy the man on the other end of the phone sounded, he slowly added a sentence.
"Now that the patient is gone, the total amount of hospitalization fees and subsequent treatment fees that have not been paid is 129.80 yuan. Who will be responsible for it for me?"
Yan Ye listened to the man's nonsense and pressed his forehead where veins were throbbing.
"I see. Wang Jianhua will come over this afternoon."
After saying that, the man hung up the phone neatly.
Hearing the beeping sound coming from the phone, Lu Qinghe raised his eyebrows.
The nurse next to him was terrified. After Lu Qinghe hung up the phone, she thought about it again and again, and couldn't help but add, "Comrade Xu Xiaoyue left money on the table when she left. It was exactly the cost of her hospital stay."
As she spoke, she bravely looked at the expression on Lu Qinghe's face.
The man didn't feel embarrassed at all. He waved his hand and said, "Give me the money she left. It will be my mental damage compensation."
He had to attend fewer meetings every day just for the two of them, so it wasn't too much to charge him some compensation for mental damage.
After Lu Qinghe finished giving the order, he turned to look at the nurse as if he remembered something, "I don't think I have any other plans today."
After saying this, the man answered his own question and continued, "Since I have taken the money, out of humanitarianism, I will drive my car out for a few rounds. If I really encounter this person, I will be doing a good deed."
"Director Lu, you have a meeting this afternoon..."
Before the nurse could finish her words, Lu Qinghe disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the empty corridor, the young nurse muttered, "Strange."
This was the first time she saw Director Lu being so active in doing “good deeds”.
Xu Xiaoyue, who was being talked about, first returned to the villa with the huge sum of money that Lu Zhao had brought.
She first took a bus to the suburbs and then walked all the way here.
If Xu Xiaoyue guessed correctly, the document about her leave of absence that the man took from the school was placed in the villa.
After walking for just ten minutes, Xu Xiaoyue was still in the mood to appreciate the scenery of the suburbs.
After walking for nearly an hour, there was still a seemingly endless road. Xu Xiaoyue began to doubt whether she had taken the wrong road.
She actually couldn't quite remember the way she came, so the man just drove her there once, and then locked her up in the villa and never went out again.
Xu Xiaoyue walked forward for another half an hour based on her feeling.
The further they walked, the more remote the road became. At the beginning, they could still meet a few people, but later on, Xu Xiaoyue didn't even meet a single person.
There was a muddy path ahead, with weeds growing almost as tall as half a person.
Xu Xiaoyue was so brave that when she encountered such a scene, she didn't hesitate for a second and walked back directly.
On the way back, Xu Xiaoyue was afraid that she would take the wrong path again. She thought about it again and again and considered for a long time before she dared to take a step.
When they reached the fork in the road, Xu Xiaoyue was confused again.
The left side looked like the road she had taken when she came, and the right side also looked like the same road.
After walking for most of the day, I was thirsty and tired. In addition, I didn’t bring any food with me, so my stomach started to growl.
Xu Xiaoyue even suspected that she fainted on the way home.
She wanted to sit down and mess up, but with some willpower that she didn't know where she got from, Xu Xiaoyue still took a step and chose the left side.
Five hours had passed since she left the hospital.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Yan Ye was looking for someone like crazy.
The school, Yan's house, and other places the girl usually went to were all searched thoroughly, but there was no trace of anyone.
Wang Jianhua was sitting in the passenger seat, daring only to look forward and not daring to say a word.
Occasionally, when I caught a glimpse of Yan Ye's dark expression, I felt that my life was miserable.
The atmosphere in the car was tense and Wang Jianhua just hoped that some great god would show up and make the girl appear as soon as possible.
"Maybe it will be in the villa."
Wang Jianhua couldn't help but mention that the man had already driven around the area five times and he could even count how many people there were on the street.
When it comes to the villa, Yan Ye subconsciously denied it.
People will subconsciously avoid being hurt, and that is the girl's sad place. What's more, he has already dismissed the servants in the villa, so it is just an empty shell. How could she, who is so timid, go to the villa on purpose?
"Think carefully, before she made a scene and left, did she mention anything to you, and then you didn't agree to it?"
Yan Ye paused while holding the steering wheel. "She wants to go to school."
"You won't let me?"
Wang Jianhua seemed to have finally figured out a solution. "It's just going to school. What's the big deal? If she wants to go, then let her go. She can't cause trouble in school. What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid if she goes, we won't have anything in common to talk about."
In front of Wang Jianhua, the man did not hide anything and confessed directly: "After all, the age difference between her and me is not that small. When she goes to school, she will be surrounded by people of the same age."
Age is always what he cares about most.
It was the first time that Wang Jianhua heard Yan Ye speak in such an unconfident tone.
In his impression, the man was always high-spirited and could be noticed at first sight when standing in the crowd. He did not expect that such a favored man would have such a scene of worrying about gains and losses.
Wang Jianhua opened his mouth and said, "No, what's so good about that group of young people? They have no money and no power. They just have an advantage in age. You think too much."
"She is not someone who cares about money and power."
Yan Ye's dark eyes darkened, and he subconsciously defended himself.
Sometimes he would think, it would be great if Xu Xiaoyue was a money-grubbing person.
At least he is rich and powerful, which makes her unable to leave him.
But the longer Yan Ye spent with the girl, the more he understood. The things that ordinary people cared about were nothing to her.
What's more, she can earn money on her own now.
Xu Xiaoyue sneezed twice and walked for more than half an hour before realizing that she had taken the wrong road again.
The bad news is that you took the wrong road, the good news is that you accidentally arrived at your final destination.
Looking at the villa in front of her, Xu Xiaoyue hurried forward and knocked on the door of the villa.
"Anyone there?"
She shouted and estimated the height of the iron gate with her eyes. She had made up her mind that if there was no one inside, she would have to climb in even if she had to.
Fortunately, God favored her once, and after just two shouts, Xiaoxiao came out of the villa.
"Sister Xiaoyue."
Xiaoxiao thought she had seen the wrong person, so she quickened her pace to the door and opened it in two or three seconds.
"You, why are you like this?"
Xiaoxiao looked at the girl in front of her. The black hair on Xu Xiaoyue's forehead was wet with sweat, and her clothes were wrinkled. The girl looked tired and out of breath, which was very different from the usual Xu Xiaoyue.
Xu Xiaoyue didn't have time to answer Xiaoxiao's words and walked into the house first.
"Do you have any water? Give me some water first."
She was almost dying of thirst after walking all the way here.
Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran to the kitchen and got out a full bowl of water.
Xu Xiaoyue held the bowl and didn't care about anything else. She drank the water in two or three gulps.
She wiped the water from the corners of her mouth and felt alive again.
