Lan Xi had just turned the corner when her cell phone rang. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that the caller ID was from Zhu Lingling!
Realizing it was an emergency, she checked the rearview mirror, turned the steering wheel right and drove to the side of the road, where there was a spot where she could stop for a short while.
"What's wrong?" Lan Xi answered the phone in a cold voice.
On the other end of the phone, Zhu Lingling spoke a little hurriedly: "Miss, Bai Xingtang is in the hospital!"
The rearview mirror showed Lan Xi's excitement after hearing this: "Got it, I'll go over now!"
In the municipal hospital, Bai Yun was sitting in front of the bed, looking at her son worriedly.
"Auntie, did I see you in the emergency room two days ago?" The nurse who was adjusting the height of the stent was chatting with her. She always felt that she had seen this auntie somewhere.
Bai Xingtang was afraid that his mother would be upset, so he deliberately retorted with a bad tone: "What does this have to do with you?"
"Xingtang!" Bai Yun spoke to stop her son's rudeness and looked at the nurse who was a little bewildered.
"I'm sorry, my son is in a bad mood and may have offended me!"
The nurse waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, it was my fault for asking questions that I shouldn't have asked. It was my negligence!"
At this time, the door was pushed open and someone walked in from outside.
Bai Yun stood up to see who it was, and saw Lan Xi's smiling face: "Ms. Bai, long time no see!"
Bai Yun frowned, and impatience appeared on her usually calm face: "Miss Lan's information is too accurate!"
Lan Xi didn't say anything. She looked at the nurse standing beside her, raised her eyebrows and was about to say something.
The young nurse reacted quickly and took two steps back: "It's been debugged here, I'm going to leave first!"
With the door closed, Lan Xi walked to the other side of the bed and looked at Bai Xingtang's legs being propped up. "It's only a broken bone, which is a blessing! Don't you agree?"
Bai Xingtang, who had been silent since Lan Xi came in, finally said the first words: "Thank you for your help, Miss Lan!"
"What are you talking about?" Bai Yun looked at her son with a puzzled look on her face, not understanding what he meant.
Bai Xingtang looked at his legs, his hands tightly gripping the quilt:
"Those guys came after me today. If Miss Lan's men hadn't showed up and taken me away, I might have lost more than just a leg!"
Bai Yun's son's words did not change her resentment towards Lan Xi. She looked at Lan Xi and sneered:
"Miss Lan has completely bribed my silly son into submission!"
She knew that her son's leg didn't need to be broken.
The so-called rescue!
It’s just a sweet treat from Lan Xi!
She was warning herself that if she didn't make a decision, next time it wouldn't be as simple as a broken bone!
In Lan Xi, she felt the same powerlessness she hadn't felt even when she was hiding from place to place with her son. It was the same powerlessness that comes from being trapped in a swamp and unable to extricate oneself...
Bai Yun was silent. Lan Xi, who was sitting opposite her, felt her dilemma and then looked at Bai Xingtang!
Um……
Bai Yun didn't inherit any of her cunningness from him!
The ward became quiet. Bai Xingtang looked at his mother helplessly, wondering what she was thinking!
Until just now, the fear of the van speeding towards me was still lingering in my mind.
If I hadn’t reacted quickly, I can’t imagine how devastated my mother would have been!
So he is grateful to Lan Xi. Mom can't live without him, and Mom can't lose him again!
"Miss Lan!" After thinking it through, Bai Xingtang looked up and said solemnly in front of his mother:
"I can agree to your request, but..."
"Xingtang!" Bai Yun hurriedly stopped him. There were so many twists and turns in this matter, it wasn't that simple at all.
"Mom! Listen to me first!" Bai Xingtang turned to look at his mother, his determined expression made her speechless.
Lan Xi looked at the mother and son, lowered her eyes, and the sheets on the hospital bed were so white that they were a bit dazzling!
Bai Xingtang looked at Lan Xi:
"I can agree to your request, but! I want you to ensure my mother's safety. She's older and she's not as efficient as I am in many things. If there's anything you need, leave it to me and I'll do it!"
Lan Xi burst out laughing. She stood up and looked at Bai Yun: "What do you think, Ms. Bai?"
Bai Xingtang looked at his mother nervously, afraid that she would disagree.
Bai Yun sighed and stood up: "Miss Lan, let's go out and talk!"
Just when Bai Xingtang was scratching his head, Bai Yun walked in.
"Mom!" Bai Xingtang propped himself up unconsciously, ignoring the severe pain in his legs, and stared at his mother.
Bai Yun's expression was complicated: "Why did you agree to her?"
Bai Xingtang pretended to be relaxed and lay back down: "I just don't want you to be too tired!"
Closing his eyes, Bai Xingtang's unspoken true thoughts were:
As the son of the Lan family, he did not enjoy a luxurious life or high-quality resources.
And now the appearance of Lan Xi made him realize that as long as Lan Xi could take over the Lan family one day, he and his mother would gain the greatest benefit in their lives!
