Chapter 65
The clock quickly struck half past eleven, Qiu Jinyue had already gone back, and only Lan Shuqing and Jiang Bai were left in the ward again.
During this time, the nurse came to check on him once. Lan Shuqing placed the sunflower on the bedside, and simply cleaned herself up with the toiletries brought by Qiu Jinyue. At the same time, she wiped Jiang Bai's face and neck, and moistened Jiang Bai's lips with warm water. Then she sat back on the bed.
The air conditioning in the ward was turned on very high. Lan Shuqing took off her coat, rolled up the sleeves of her sweater, tucked her long hair behind her head, and stared at Jiang Bai with her hands on her face.
She doesn't know how to take care of people, Lan Shuqing thought. In this regard, Jiang Bai is better than her. She put her left hand on Jiang Bai's face and stroked it gently.
Jiang Bai's appearance is not stunning, but he is very attractive, but his face is too pale. Lan Shuqing's eyes gradually deepened. Today was supposed to be a very happy day, but now everything is disrupted.
Lan Shuqing thought that he would make it up to Jiang Bai when he woke up.
Suddenly there was a buzzing sound.
Lan Shuqing thought it was her cell phone, but when she took it out she realized it wasn't. She remembered Jiang Bai's shoulder bag, which she had put in the bag she kept her things in.
The bag was placed beside the bed. Lan Shu bent down and picked up Jiang Bai's shoulder bag, opened it, and picked up Jiang Bai's mobile phone. The screen flickered. It was not a phone, but an alarm clock. There were a few big words on it: Happy New Year.
Lan Shuqing smiled suddenly, and her tired face became more lively. She turned off the alarm clock, put her bag back, and poked Jiang Bai's face with her hand. "Idiot!" After saying that, a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.
The hospital bed was not big enough to accommodate two people, so Lan Shuqing lay on the edge of the bed, leaning on Jiang Bai's arm, and gradually fell asleep.
Buzz buzz buzz.
The next morning, Lan Shuqing was woken up by a phone call.
Seeing the time was half past seven, she answered the phone, "Dad."
Lan Zhaoting and the others had just arrived at the airport. "Shu Qing, where are you now? We've already arrived in Jing City."
Lan Shu glanced at Jiang Bai, who was still unconscious. She told Lan Zhaoting the address of the hospital and asked, "Dad, why didn't you tell me in advance? I could have found someone to pick you up."
Lan Zhaoting smiled and said, "It's okay. I asked Lao Zheng to pick us up."
Li Liyue pinched Lan Zhaoting's arm, and Lan Zhaoting immediately reacted and asked, "Are you okay? Are you okay?"
Lan Shu replied softly: "I'm fine."
Lan Zhaoting nodded, "That's good."
Then his arm was pinched again.
Lan Zhaoting asked again: "What about Jiang Bai?"
Lan Shu replied softly, "Nothing serious, just excessive blood loss. He hasn't woken up yet."
Lan Zhaoting said "Oh", and Lan Shuqing said, "Dad, it's still early. Come over after you eat."
The call was on an external speaker, and Li Liyue heard it too. She pinched Lan Zhaoting's arm again. Lan Zhaoting glanced at her and said, "Let's go to the hospital now. How about you come down and have breakfast with us?"
Lan Shu glanced at the person who was still asleep and pursed his lips, "I won't go."
Lan Zhaoting nodded, "Okay, then we'll bring you some food."
Finally, Li Liyue slapped him on the arm.
Lan Qi stood aside, accustomed to it.
Aunt Yao was behind, and she was also used to it.
After hanging up the phone, Lan Zhaoting took the lead and put his arm around Li Liyue's shoulders. "Don't worry, honey. Shu Qing is fine."
Li Liyue glared at him and said, "Of course I know she's fine. I'm worried about other things now!"
Lan Shuqing cared too much about Jiang Bai, both in the past and now. You know, this was the first time she saw her daughter in such an abnormal mood, so Li Liyue was particularly anxious along the way.
Lan Zhaoting was already trying his best to comfort her.
Before coming, Lan Zhaoting and Lan Qi had a private chat. As an older brother, Lan Qi knew more about Lan Shuqing's situation in Beijing in recent years than the two adults.
Lan Shuqing has never had a boyfriend and has rejected everyone's pursuit. Lan Qi always encourages Lan Shuqing to experience more, but the other party always uses studies as an excuse. Just when Lan Qi thinks Lan Shuqing will always be like this, Jiang Bai appears again.
Perhaps it was out of his brother's intuition, just like Li Liyue felt that there was a problem, Lan Qi also felt that Lan Shuqing's attitude towards Jiang Bai was too special.
Whether it was Lan Shuqing's willingness to accept Jiang Bai's gift or the other party's state when they last met, Lan Qi had to think in other directions, but he did not say it explicitly. He only discussed it secretly with Lan Zhaoting. After all, his mother also noticed it.
This matter is just a matter of time.
The clock struck half past eight.
The nurse came to change the water and checked the monitor at the same time. There was nothing abnormal. In just a short while, no one else was seen in the ward. While the nurse was still wondering where the beautiful girl had gone yesterday, Lan Shuqing walked out of the bathroom.
It was obvious that he had just washed up, but he didn't seem to have slept well. There were dark circles under his eyes, and his clothes were the same as yesterday.
The nurse thought for a moment and then reminded, "The patient may wake up at any time today. After waking up, you can eat some light food, but not too much. Eat small meals frequently."
Lan Shu nodded lightly in response, "Thank you, I understand."
Seeing that she had listened, the nurse nodded and went out. Before leaving, she did not forget to look back and sighed in her heart that the girl was really pretty and was very nice to her friend.
At the same time, Lao Zheng had already picked up Lan Zhaoting and others, had breakfast together, packed a portion, came downstairs to the hospital, and then went directly to the door of the ward according to the ward number given by Qiu Jinyue.
Li Liyue walked in front, but when she reached the door, she did not go in directly. Instead, she pushed the door open and took a peek.
Lan Shuqing was only wearing a woolen sweater, with her black hair pinned up high. She was lying on the edge of the bed with her back to them, looking a little thin. It was unclear whether she was asleep or just resting.
Seeing this, Lan Qi stepped forward and whispered, "Mom, let me do it."
Li Liyue glanced at him and moved away.
Lan Qi carefully opened the door, walked in, and called out, "Shu Qing."
Lan Shuqing heard the voice and turned to look at the door. She reacted and stood up. "Brother," she took two steps forward and looked at Li Liyue and Lan Zhaoting behind her. "Dad, Mom."
Li Liyue came over, looked Lan Shuqing up and down, then glanced at Jiang Bai lying on the bed, and called to Aunt Yao behind them, "We brought you some food, eat first."
Lan Shu chuckled, "Thank you, Mom."
Aunt Yao came over and put the packed breakfast on the coffee table, and Li Liyue looked at Lan Shuqing again. After seeing her daughter look a little haggard, she felt very uncomfortable.
Lan Shu gently took Li Liyue's arm and looked at Lan Zhaoting and the others, "Mom, Dad, let's sit down and talk."
Several people sat down on the sofa. Breakfast was soup dumplings and millet porridge. Aunt Yao took out the breakfast and stood aside with Lao Zheng.
To be honest, Lan Shuqing didn't have much of an appetite, but he still managed to eat two soup dumplings and drink half a bowl of millet porridge.
Li Liyue watched her eating like a cat and couldn't help but say, "Shu Qing, eat some more."
Lan Shu chuckled and shook his head, "Mom, I'm full."
Li Liyue frowned, and Lan Zhaoting grabbed her wrist and said, "It's okay, Aunt Yao, come and collect it."
Aunt Yao stepped forward and took away the remaining little bit.
Li Liyue glared at Lan Zhaoting.
Lan Zhaoting had been glared at countless times along the way. He had already become quite calm. He turned slightly to the side and looked at Lao Zheng. "Lao Zheng, tell Shu Qing what you have found out."
Old Zheng nodded, "Okay."
Lan Shuqing looked at him, and Lao Zheng said, "Miss Shuqing, we have already investigated clearly. Ye Ze was waiting for Miss Jiang to get off work downstairs of Zhenghe Group yesterday. He then followed Miss Jiang all the way to your workplace, and finally followed you to the landscape park."
"The police also determined that the attack was premeditated and intentional."
"but……"
Lan Shuqing asked, "But what?"
"Ye Ze has been telling the police that he wants to see Miss Shu Qing."
Li Liyue was the first to speak: "What are you seeing? The Lan family helped the Ye family so much in the past, but in the end, they are all a bunch of ungrateful wolves."
Lan Zhaoting patted Li Liyue's shoulder and comforted her, "Wife, calm down."
Li Liyue glared at him, "It's you!"
Lan Zhaoting smiled awkwardly, but didn't dare to refute. After all, Ye Yu was his classmate. Thinking of this, he looked at Lan Shuqing, "I heard that Jin Yue helped find a lawyer?"
Lan Shu nodded slightly, "Yeah."
Lan Zhaoting looked at Lao Zheng and said, "Lao Zheng, please contact that lawyer and give him what you found."
Lao Zheng nodded, "Okay, Mr. Lan."
Lan Zhaoting stood up and said, "I'm sorry to bother you for this period of time. There's nothing else to do here. Let's go out and talk."
Old Zheng smiled and said, "Okay."
After the two grown men left, there were only four people in the ward: Lan Shuqing, Li Liyue, Lan Qi and Jiang Bai.
One of them was still lying there, not waking up.
Lan Qi asked first: "Shu Qing, do you want to see Ye Ze? If not, we will ignore him."
Lan Shuqing clasped his hands together, his eyes slightly deep, "Let him be."
After doing such a thing, Lan Shuqing would never forgive Ye Ze. She would only let him get the punishment he deserved, or even the highest sentence. This was also her requirement for Liang Xie.
Li Liyue held Lan Shuqing's hand and said, "Shuqing, your father has cut off all cooperation with the Ye family in City A. Now no one else dares to do business with the Ye family. Mom and Dad will always support you, understand?"
Lan Shuqing held Li Liyue's hand with his backhand and smiled, "Thank you, Mom."
Li Liyue looked at her, then glanced at Jiang Bai lying on the bed, and asked, "Did you ask Aunt Yao to come over? Do you want her to take care of Jiang Bai?"
Lan Shu nodded slightly, "Yeah."
Li Liyue looked into Lan Shuqing's eyes and said, "She blocked a knife for you. Aunt Yao can take care of her, and we can also compensate her, but you can't stay here forever. Pack up your things and go back with us."
As for Li Liyue, arranging someone to take care of Jiang Bai, covering his medical expenses, and compensating him was already very good.
Lan Shu gently held Li Liyue's hand, looked at her, and slowly shook his head, "Mom, I can't."
Li Liyue's expression froze. She rarely called Lan Shuqing's name, "Lan Shuqing!"
The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became tense. Lan Qi saw this and sat down next to Li Liyue, putting his arm around her shoulders. "Mom, we just got here, so let's not talk about this for now." He then looked at Lan Shuqing and said, "Shuqing, we won't be in Beijing for long. You should take some time to spend more time with us these days. You haven't been home for almost half a year, and Mom and Dad miss you very much."
Lan Shu glanced at Lan Qi lightly, then looked at Li Liyue, pursed his lips, and finally said, "Mom, I'm sorry."
Li Li stood up joyfully, and Lan Qi didn't stop her.
"You just have to stay here, don't you?!" Li Liyue was angry, especially when she saw Lan Shuqing's exhausted and frail appearance. She felt distressed and angry. "It was like that before, and it's still like that now. You're just being stubborn with me. Is Jiang Bai really that good? Is he worth all your efforts?!"
That time in their senior year of high school, if Jiang Bai hadn't given up first, Lan Shuqing might have had a quarrel with Li Liyue.
Lan Shuqing stood up and looked at Li Liyue with a firm expression, "At least I won't leave until Jiang Bai wakes up."
Hearing this, Lan Qi also pulled Li Liyue aside and advised: "Mom, Jiang Bai was injured because of Shu Qing after all, let's wait until she wakes up."
Li Liyue glared at Lan Qi, then looked at Lan Shuqing, "Shuqing, I don't ask you to accompany us, but we have to make it clear. If you want to stay in the hospital all the time, I won't agree."
Lan Shu pursed her lips. Before she could say anything, a low voice suddenly sounded behind her, "Lan Shuqing~"
As if it was an illusion, Lan Shuqing suddenly turned her head and saw Jiang Bai looking at her with light in his eyes and no trace of blood on his pale face. He just looked at her like that, Lan Shuqing's lips slightly parted, and she stood there as if she was mute.
Lan Qi glanced at his sister, then at Jiang Bai lying on the bed, and hurriedly pulled Li Liyue, "Mom, let's go out first." He then said to Aunt Yao beside him, "Aunt Yao, let's all go out."
Li Liyue glared at him fiercely, but let Lan Qi pull her out.
