He pushed his father away and struggled to get up. As he was too eager to get out of bed, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
“Son!”
“Mr. Huo!”
Chen Yunlu and Xu Xiyan saw Huo Yunshen fall from the bed and rushed over to help him up.
Before Xu Xiyan could touch Huo Yunshen, Chen Yunlu ruthlessly shoved her to the ground. “Go away! Don’t ever harm my son again!”
Xu Xiyan picked herself up from the ground, and could only watch Chen Yunlu and Huo Zhen lift Huo Yunshen back onto the bed silently.
“Mom! I told you! Jing Xi has nothing to do with my injuries. Can you please stop blaming her?”
Huo Yunshen felt very powerless. Xu Xiyan was standing at the side, and Huo Yunshen looked over at her helplessly and apologetically. He wished to apologize to her a thousand times.
The more he favored Xu Xiyan, the more unhappy Chen Yunlu was in her heart. The son who she had worked so hard to raise into an adult was willing to sacrifice his life for a woman. Had he even thought about her feelings as a mother?
“Fine, I won’t blame her.” Chen Yunlu turned around and said sarcastically, “Miss Jing Xi, I beg you, please be a good person and don’t come and harass my son again, okay? As long you stay away from him, I’ll be very grateful to you. If money is what you want, I can give it to you. Just say the price!”
“Mom! Enough!!”
Huo Yunshen had to hand it to his mother. He never knew that she could become so mean. How could she say such terrible words to Xu Xiyan?
Xu Xiyan glanced over at Huo Yunshen. She could understand his situation. Not wanting to cause any more contradictions, she said, “Mr. Huo, I’m relieved that you’re fine. You should take a good rest. I’m leaving now.”
Without any hesitation, Xu Xiyan turned and walked out of the room.
“Jing Xi! Jing Xi…”
Huo Yunshen was getting very anxious. He was afraid that Xu Xiyan had taken his mother’s aggressive behavior poorly. What if she never talked to him again?
Huo Yunshen called after her but she didn’t stop. She strode out of the ward and met Ye Xun at the corridor, who had just returned from a smoke.
Ye Xun put his hands into his pockets and said nonchalantly, “Hmm? Why are you out so fast?”
“Let’s go, second senior!” Xu Xiyan lowered her head and continued to walk forward.
Ye Xun sensed something was wrong from her voice. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her around, and the next second, he saw that her face was wet with tears. There were also red finger marks, fresh on her cheek. Ye Xun felt his blood boiling. “Who hit you?”
“It’s none of your business.” Xu Xiyan turned her head away and shook her hand out from his grip.
Ye Xun guessed what had probably happened. It was most likely Huo Yunshen’s fierce mother who had hit her.
Ye Xun watched Xu Xiyan’s retreating back as she walked away sadly. He felt a terrible heartache for her and a feeling of regret.
He should’ve known not to take a superfluous action by informing Huo Yunshen’s family so they would come over to Estan. He had originally intended to let Huo Yunshen’s family stay in his ward so Huo Yunshen and Xu Xiyan would not have the opportunity to be alone with each other. He didn’t expect that his fierce mother would hit her.
Seeing that Xu Xiyan had already gone far, Ye Xun hastened his steps to catch up with her.
On the way back, Xu Xiyan sat in the car, silent and depressed. Ye Xun had to at least say something to her. “Little Xixi, what happened? Did you fight with Mr. Huo?”
“No. Don’t simply assume.”
Xu Xiyan had stopped shedding tears, but she was still low-spirited.
Despite being told to stop assuming, Ye Xun continued to pester her. “Did his mother hit you?”
Xu Xiyan turned her head around sharply and looked at him. She asked suspiciously, “You didn’t go inside the room. How did you know who hit me?”
