"Oh well."
Shu Qiaoqiao was a little unwilling to get any advantage from Ye Mingqian, but Chi Yanchen raised his legs and walked forward, so she had no choice but to trot to keep up.
When the room finally became completely quiet, Ye Mingqian's body completely relaxed.
She looked around the ward. The furnishings and decoration style looked like Huo's hospital. Why did Wu Xinxin send her here? Aishang is not close to Huo's Ruiguang Hospital.
Picking up the phone, Ye Mingqian looked at the time displayed on it, which was 11:40 noon. She remembered that it was only 9:30 before she fainted, and she didn't expect to lie down for two hours.
Fortunately, the Huo family's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was arranged in the evening, so she still had time.
Subconsciously, he raised his head and looked at the bottle. The liquid inside had bottomed out and could be finished in ten minutes at most.
She thought about what the old doctor had just said, that the matter of being taken to the hospital after falling ill must not be hidden from Huo Jili. She pulled out the needle, took all the medicine, and put on plain makeup.
This way she doesn't look haggard, but she has the delicate feeling of a sickly beauty. Fortunately, she is also wearing a pure white dress today, which adds to her affectionate feeling.
When everything was ready, Ye Mingqian came to Huo Jili's ward and knocked on the door.
"Miss Ye?" Assistant Zhu came to open the door and looked surprised when he saw her.
"Please come in quickly."
She nodded to Assistant Zhu with a smile and walked up to Huo Jili.
"You are so sick, yet you still come to see me." Huo Jili said with a hint of majesty in the warm breeze and drizzle.
In a daze, his face overlapped with that of Huo Jili, who was laughing wildly in his dream.
Ye Mingqian clenched her fists unconsciously and dug her nails deeply into her flesh. Only pain could keep her mind clear to avoid doing something stupid.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you very much." She suppressed the tumbling emotions in her heart, and slowly came out from her red lips in a softer and more elegant voice that was different from the previous one.
Huo Jili felt a spring breeze blowing by.
"I've heard what Lao Zhong said. I'm seriously overdrafting my health. You can't do this in the future. I gave Aishang to you to kill time. My wife, Huo Jili, is overworked due to business. Isn't it a joke in the industry?"
As soon as the words changed, he sighed heavily again, his tone full of self-blame: "It's my fault that I'm useless. My health is not good because of my age. Not only did I not give you a sense of security, but I also made you run around outside."
"Mr. Huo, please don't say that. It's really just that my physical condition is a bit poor. As of today, I can only count the number of people I have entered through Ai Shang's door on one hand."
Ye Ming smiled slightly and sat down next to him.
"Then make up for it." Huo Jili said to her in a rare serious tone: "Although we will be husband and wife from now on, I am thirty years older than you. You have to listen to some words, what should be done and what should not be done. "
Her heart was in turmoil, and she couldn't tell for a moment whether Huo Jili was just being polite or if he was deliberately trying to hit her.
Ye Mingqian braced himself and responded:
"Yes, I will listen to you, Mr. Huo."
"Good boy." Huo Jili patted her hand with satisfaction, "He has already mentioned to me what you told Assistant Zhu yesterday. They are your family, and you can take care of it yourself. In the future, this kind of thing about the Huo family All human relations are decided by you, so there is no need to ask me for advice."
"good."
She nodded meekly, her dark hair falling down to reveal her white snowy neck, looking innocent and harmless.
"By the way, you have to go to the study for me tomorrow." At Huo Jili's signal, Assistant Zhu took out a paper document bag from behind.
"Help me put this information inside."
Ye Mingqian stretched out his hand to take it, and it was as heavy as a thick notebook.
She didn't dare to neglect and held him in her arms.
"Don't be so nervous." Huo Jili was amused by her behavior and coughed.
"Is everything okay?"
Ye Mingqian quickly stood up to help him calm down.
Huo Jili waved his hand, "It's dry in autumn and coughing is normal. I know my body well, so you don't have to worry too much."
He lay down, looking a little tired: "I'd like to ask you to take care of the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. I'm not at home, and Achen has to go to Shu's house to spend it. If someone makes things difficult for you, don't bear it. Just do whatever you want."
"I understand." Ye Mingqian nodded.
"Go ahead. Although the ancestral home has been arranged, if your body allows it, you can get used to it in advance. From now on, it will be up to you to take care of the New Year and festivals."
Seeing Huo Jili's face looking tired, she hugged the document bag tightly and stood up to say goodbye.
Unexpectedly, when they went out, they bumped into Chi Yanchen and Shu Qiaoqiao, and there was a group of people behind them supporting a gray-haired old man.
He is very old, with dark skin and layers of wrinkles covering his entire face like old tree roots.
This is Mr. Shu, who is over ninety years old this year. Shu Qiaoqiao's father was his son in his later years, so there is a huge age difference between his ancestors and his grandson.
It would have been okay if they hadn't met, but now they bumped into each other face to face, and Ye Mingqian had to step aside and say hello obediently.
"Shu Lao."
Although the old man was old, his eyes still shone with shrewdness, but the weakness of his voice reminded her that he was a patient.
"It's Miss Ye. How are you doing, Mr. Huo?"
"Just fell asleep."
She replied humbly and politely.
"Then don't disturb him and let's go home."
Mr. Shu changed direction again, surrounded by everyone.
"I told you not to go back. I really want to have a reunion dinner. We all come to the hospital to have the meal with them. I have to go back to my old house to eat there. There are mountains on all sides and there are mosquitoes."
The old man walked slowly, and the young people from the Shu family who were lagging behind began to complain impatiently.
"Shut up and follow."
Shu Qiaoqiao wanted to go up and scold his cousin, but because Chi Yanchen had to keep up appearances around him, he blushed and chased after him and glared at him.
"Master Chi, won't you follow?"
Ye Mingqian saw Chi Yanchen standing still.
"They have family matters to deal with." Chi Yanchen glanced at her lightly and saw that her face was still pale and she turned her head uncomfortably.
"Asking a random question."
The crowd gradually went away, and Ye Mingqian looked back at Huo Jili, who was already sleeping soundly in the ward. Compared with the old Mr. Shu, he was still young.
She concealed the hatred in her eyes and continued: "Mr. Shu, right?"
"If you know it's presumptuous, don't ask any more questions."
Chi Yanchen interrupted her coldly and turned to leave.
Oh, this man.
Ye Mingqian couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
She refused to say anything openly, and his denial just confirmed her thoughts.
Mr. Shu is not going to die soon.
You can guess from the fact that he wants to return to Shu's house. The old man is always unwilling to return to another place before he dies.
Death of old age is a natural law, and it is enough for Mr. Shu to live to such an old age.
But Huo Jili couldn't be allowed to live so comfortably for so long.
