Lan Xiu stayed by her side. Ye Xiaolian wanted to say something, but when she saw the look in Lan Xiu’s eyes, she held it in.
The doctor quickly rushed over. Leng Xinran calmly asked the doctor about the situation. After listening to the doctor’s explanation of the follow-up treatment plan, she raised a few more questions before asking the doctor to leave.
“Leng Xinran, you’d better get out of here quickly. I don’t want to see you.”
Every time Ye Xiaolian saw Leng Xinran, she would feel a surge of anger in her chest. She had been married into the Leng family for twenty years, but Leng Xinran had never respected her at all. She had never even called her ‘Aunt’, let alone ‘Mother’, she looked at her like she was looking at a clown.
And what happened to her son might have been because of her!
“Shut up! Someone, send her home!”
Leng Xinran ignored Ye Xiaolian and said to the door. Soon, the bodyguards guarding the door came in and quickly escorted Ye Xiaolian out. No matter how unwilling she was, she could not beat Leng Xinran.
Although Leng Xinran rarely went home and did not want to get involved in the Leng family’s affairs, she was the only young heiress of the Leng family. Everyone knew what was more important.
After Leng Mingyi divorced his ex-wife, Liu Yuewei, Leng Xinran was sentenced to Leng Mingyi while the younger daughter, Leng Xinling, followed Liu Yuewei. Leng Xinling’s health was poor since she was young, so Leng Xinran loved her sister very much, she tried her best to protect her and hope that she could grow up safely, but this wish could not be fulfilled in the end. When Leng Xinling was 16, she was diagnosed with malignant leukemia. She passed away before she could celebrate her 16th birthday…
Leng Mingyi was still quite neutral towards Leng Xinran. However, businessmen always put their interests first. They had always been thinking of using Leng Xinran for a marriage that can bring the Leng family to the next level.
Leng Xinran had three fiancés before. The first two had died in an accident, and the third had heard about the first two and the Leng family before he was injured in a car accident. From then on, he regarded Leng Xinran as a ferocious beast, stayed away from them, and canceled the marriage.
Leng Xinran felt that she did not have much feelings for this weak father in front of her. She had always been cold and distant. In addition, after moving out, she rarely returned to the Leng residence, so the relationship between the father and daughter had become colder and colder since.
Leng Mingyi was a very outstanding businessman, but he was not a good husband and a good father.
When he was younger, he had done a lot of philandering. Back then, when her mother, Liu Yuewei, fell and gave birth prematurely while carrying Leng Xinling, she called Leng Mingyi, but Leng Mingyi was lying on Ye Xiaolian’s bed.
She was still very young at that time, and she could not find her father, so she could only call 110. Later, the police called an ambulance, and because it took too long and she gave birth prematurely, Leng Xinling’s health was very poor after birth, her mother, Liu Yuewei, was also severely injured.
From then on, Leng Xinran would only look at her father with one kind of gaze, and that was one of indifference, a kind of coldness that seeped into her bones.
However, even so, as a child, she still had to fulfill her obligations. She did not ask for anything, only a clear conscience.
Humans were such complicated and contradictory animals.
Leng Xinran looked at Leng Mingyi on the hospital bed, but the corners of her mouth curled into a sarcastic smile. After a long time, she called her men in.
“Miss!”
The bodyguard in black looked at Leng Xinran respectfully.
“When he wakes up, give me a call. No one is allowed to come in and disturb him, especially Ye Xiaolian. Do you hear me?”
Leng Xinran gave the order coldly.
“Yes! Miss, please don’t worry! Director Lan has already arranged for two special nurses.”
Lan Xiu?
At this moment, Leng Xinran subconsciously looked in the direction where Lan Xiu was standing. Only then did she realize that Lan Xiu was no longer there. She did not even know when he left the ward.
“Also, call me if anything.”
“Yes, Miss.”
…
When Leng Xinran walked out of the ward, she retracted her gaze and saw Lan Xiu sitting on a bench not far away, flipping through a newspaper.
He seemed very quiet at this moment.
Leng Xinran did not know how to describe her relationship with Lan Xiu now. They were closer as friends, but they also felt like they were still lovers.
Two months ago, they decided to start with friends. Lan Xiu would often contact her and ask her out for dinner. Occasionally, he would tell her about the cooperation between the Leng Group and the Lan Group, as well as the transformation of some projects.
Leng Xinran listened and got used to it.
“Are you done?”
Seeing a shadow in front of him and the familiar cold fragrance, Lan Xiu immediately knew who it was.
Leng Xinran nodded and looked down at him. “Thank you for your arrangement. Sorry to have kept you waiting. Let’s go and eat.”
Lan Xiu looked up at her and found that her clear eyes were still heavy.
Without saying anything, Lan Xiu closed the newspaper in his hand and stood up.
…
In fact, Lan Xiu knew very well that he did not like Leng Xinran at all, and Leng Xinran did not like him either. The two of them were sticking to the rules now, and even the way they usually dated did not change much.
Leng Xinran was a very cold person. After interacting with her for so long, he had almost never seen her interested in anything. The only thing that could be considered interesting was that she was an expert in manga, she would occasionally help a large-scale game company design the character image for a game. She was a very experienced expert.
Lan Xiu could not say how he felt in his heart. He did not have much hope of hanging out with her, but he did not reject her either. Presumably, she must be feeling the same?
Would two people who have no feelings for each other be happy together?
Could they do what the television always show, to have mutual respect in a marriage as husband and wife?
“I’m sorry for what happened today.”
After a long time, Leng Xinran finally explained.
Lan Xiu knew what she meant. Ye Xiaolian was indeed wrong. He could understand this feeling. Did the family not accommodate him and Lan Qi?
Until now, he was still in a state of severed relations with the Lan family.
“She was indeed a little too much,” Lan Xiu said.
Leng Xinran eased up a little and continued, “It’ll be fine once you get used to it. It will happen a lot in the future.”
As Leng Xinran said this, the smile on her face became colder and colder. Finally, she did not say anything more. She just closed her eyes silently and leaned back against the chair behind her.
