Chapter 3 The Bridegroom Comes



Ye Qingtao didn't take the breakfast, but quickly supported the man.

When he got closer, he realized that the man's tall and strong body was like a city wall.

No matter how fast she moved, she couldn't hold him.

The things Zhu Guihua handed over fell to the ground, and she couldn't help cursing. Seeing her daughter hugging a fainted man, she hurried over to help.

The mother and daughter laid the man flat on the ground, and Ye Qingtao quickly checked his breathing.

His breathing was relatively steady, so it looked like his life was temporarily safe.

Her eyes moved to his shoulder. Her white shirt was wet, and a dark red bloody wound was particularly eye-catching.

Ye Qingtao's eyes fixed, she unbuttoned his collar, pulled down his clothes and looked down.

The gauze bandage was still oozing blood, probably because the wound had ruptured and caused excessive blood loss, leading to dizziness.

Looking at the dark circles under the man's eyes, it's easy to guess that he probably didn't sleep well for the past few days. Otherwise, with such a strong physique, how could he faint so easily?

"Mom, go to the pharmacy over there and buy me some things."

Ye Qingtao casually mentioned the names of a few medicines. Although Zhu Guihua was confused, saving lives was the most important thing, so he went there quickly.

This person's condition is most likely a wound infection. If the condition continues to worsen, it may be life-threatening.

Ye Qingtao took out two pills and forced him to take them, then took out an antibiotic from her pocket and calmly gave him an injection in the buttocks.

The fainted man frowned, his deep eyes slowly opened, and his fingers as hard as iron clamps clasped her wrist.

"You, what did you just do to me?"

There were waves of pain in her wrist. Ye Qingtao had already put away the syringe. She spread out her hands and looked at him innocently.

"I didn't do anything."

Gu Jingming frowned even more tightly, and the pain in his hip told him that something must have happened just now.

At this time, Zhu Guihua came over with some alcohol gauze for disinfection. Seeing their clasped hands, he asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Gu Jingming let go of his hand with a gloomy look. Ye Qingtao shook her slightly red wrist, took the medical supplies and treated his wound.

She performed the entire movement in one go, as if she had done it thousands of times.

Zhu Guihua looked at her in surprise, as if she didn't recognize her.

Gu Jingming was also amazed at her skillful technique, but after all, he was not familiar with her, so he did not ask more questions.

"Your wound has split open, and you are a little tired. You need to rest more and keep the wound away from water, otherwise it may get infected again."

Ye Qingtao gave some instructions and turned to leave.

Gu Jingming sat up from the ground. When he saw the breakfast fallen on the ground, he quickly chased after it.

"Thank you for your help. I'll treat you to breakfast."

"No."

Ye Qingtao was about to refuse when Gu Jingming shouted towards the store.

"Boss, give me a basket of steamed dumplings, two scallion pancakes, and two bowls of soy milk..."

Gu Jingming ordered a bunch of things, paid the bill and then disappeared.

"Well, shall we eat?"

Zhu Guihua got up too early today and his stomach started to growl.

Ye Qingtao saw that the man had already walked far away. She had even used an antibiotic to save him today, so it would be a waste if she didn't eat this breakfast.

The mother and daughter didn't hesitate to eat everything on the table.

It was still early after breakfast, so her mother took her for a stroll in the provincial capital and helped her get acquainted with the route.

Ye Qingtao couldn't help but complain a few words, "Mom, I just recovered from a serious illness, and you didn't let me sleep so early in the morning. You had to drag me to the provincial capital. Wouldn't it be better to let me sleep a few more hours?"

"Seeing how depressed you are after what happened, Mom is thinking of bringing you to the provincial capital for a stroll."

“What’s the point of just browsing without buying anything?”

Ye Qingtao pouted, and Zhu Guihua touched his pocket, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Buy, buy, buy whatever you want, but I don't have much money in my pocket."

Zhu Guihua felt a little embarrassed when she said this. Ye Qingtao knew the family's financial situation and was just teasing her.

"Mom bought me such a nice woolen coat, I am already very satisfied, let's go shopping in the provincial capital to broaden our horizons, we have everything at home, I don't need anything else."

Ye Qingtao was very good at talking, and Zhu Guihua wiped away tears while listening to her.

"Good boy, your love for you is not in vain. Not only has your love brain been cured this time, but you have also become much more sensible."

Zhu Guihua looked at her with relief, and that loving gaze almost drowned her.

Ye Qingtao was just about to say a few polite words when Zhu Guihua changed the subject.

"Next time if you are not in your right mind and still hang around Lu Yunchuan, you can jump again."

Ye Qingtao rolled her eyes immediately. "You killed your daughter with one jump, and you still want to jump a few more times? Are you trying to send me away with you?"

The mother and daughter wandered around the department store in the provincial capital until around eleven o'clock in the morning.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, he hurriedly pulled her to find a place.

"Mom, are you sure it's here?"

There is more than one restaurant in the provincial capital, and their names are all similar.

My mother didn't receive a paper invitation, she just received a phone call.

He was very determined when he came, but became hesitant when he reached the door.

"Good Luck Hotel, this should be it?"

The mother said uncertainly, and Ye Qingtao rubbed his temples with a headache.

"Mom, why don't you call and confirm?"

Ye Qingtao really didn't want to lose face, and then she realized that her mother, who seemed calm and reliable, was actually so unreliable.

"I'm sure it's here!"

Zhu Guihua took her hand and strode in.

She had great strength in her hands, and Ye Qingtao couldn't break free and was forcibly pulled in.

The next step is to write the gift, take the gift and find a seat all in one go.

"People in the village only set up a few tables outside for wedding banquets. Your cousin's family is rich, so they chose such a good restaurant for their son's wedding."

"This restaurant is really grand! Isn't my 20 yuan gift money too little?"

Zhu Guihua didn't feel it when he was writing the gift, but after he finished writing it, he felt a little uneasy.

"20 yuan is already a lot. Besides, it's already been written. Do I have to pay more?"

"It's not impossible to add money..."

Zhu Guihua grabbed his pocket in embarrassment. After all, he was a man who cared about his reputation.

Ye Qingtao knew that she was just trying to be brave.

"Mom, you've written the money as a gift, do we still need to eat? Dad doesn't get paid until the middle of the month, you should be more sensible."

"Oh well."

Zhu Guihua loosened her grip on her pocket, but when she looked at the magnificent hotel and then glanced down at her own clothes, she suddenly wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Ye Qingtao patted her hands gently to help her relax.

"Mom, now that you're here and the gift has been written, 20 yuan is a lot of money. If we save it, it will be enough for our family to spend for a week."

"What's wrong with paying so much money for a meal? What's there to be embarrassed about?"

After Ye Qingtao's confident persuasion, Zhu Guihua finally straightened his back.

"You're right. If your cousin dislikes us, then she doesn't consider us as relatives! We came all the way here, so what's wrong with having a meal?"

Zhu Guihua's words were ostensibly addressed to Ye Qingtao, but in reality they were meant to encourage himself.

Just when the mother and daughter were feeling a little embarrassed because they didn't give enough gifts, someone next to them shouted.

"Here comes the groom, here comes the groom!"

"What a handsome groom!"

"As expected of the youngest chief, he is so handsome!"

Ye Qingtao looked up following the gaze of the crowd, looked at the man in a suit from afar, and frowned in surprise.

“It’s actually him!”
