After dealing with the matters acc.u.mulated in the company, Murong Qiao’s thoughts couldn’t help but fly to Tang Huai.
She supported her chin with one hand and stared at the phone in front of her.
She kept weighing the reasons to persuade Tang Huai.
After all, he was her cousin. She didn’t want him to end up the way he did in her dream.
However, the last time she brought the other party to Murong Zheng’s place for a checkup…
Thinking of the other party’s att.i.tude of not receiving treatment at all, Murong Qiao sighed heavily.
After thinking for a while, Murong Qiao decided to call Murong Zheng first. “Second Brother, what’s the situation with Cousin Tang Huai’s illness?” she asked.
When they went to the hospital that day, Murong Qiao didn’t follow them in for the checkup, so she didn’t know much about Tang Huai’s illness.
At the moment, she only knew that the other party was unwilling to be treated. When Murong Zheng heard her mention Tang Huai, he was silent for a moment before giving an answer. “It’s an old problem.”
“He got it two years ago when he was racing. He’s always been unwilling to treat it. From time to time, something will go wrong with his leg.”
Because his Little Sister didn’t know much about medicine, Murong Zheng didn’t use any professional terms.
But in the end, Murong Zheng was also worried about Tang Huai.
Racing was an extreme sport. If one was not careful, it was common for one to lose their life. It tested the reaction speed of every racer, not to mention that Tang Huai’s legs were problematic. If there was really a problem at a critical moment…
Murong Zheng pursed her lips and resisted the urge to sigh. He didn’t want to infect his Little Sister with this worry.
“Then, how long will it take to be treated?” Murong Qiao asked the key point.
She knew that Tang Huai wanted to partic.i.p.ate in that compet.i.tion, but there was still some time before the compet.i.tion began.
Murong Zheng said bluntly, “If he cooperates with the treatment, it will take six months to a year.”
Murong Zheng had told Tang Huai many times about the treatment plan, so he answered without hesitation when his Little Sister asked.
One year…
Murong Qiao’s heart sank.
“If he can cooperate obediently, I’ll say it’s likely to be treated in less than a year.” Murong Zheng sneered.
After Murong Qiao learned the exact answer, she chatted with Murong Zheng for a while more before hanging up.
She thought for a moment and called Xian Yu again, deciding to see if she could look for Tang Huai today.
When Xian Yu picked up the call, he could hear that there was still some noise in the background.
“Qiaoqiao?” the other party called out to her.
Murong Qiao replied, “It’s me, Big Brother.”
“Do you know where Tang Huai is? I want to look for him.” She directly explained her goal.
Treating illnesses was something that should be done as soon as possible.
After all, no one knew when an accident would happen.
“Tang Huai…” Xian Yu’s voice lowered for a while, as if he was looking for something.
About two minutes later, an address was sent to Murong Qiao’s phone.
Xian Yu spoke again, “He usually meets us here when he’s free. I’ve sent the address to your phone.”
Xian Yu didn’t need to ask Tang Huai to guess where he was.
It was as if that person had crawled into a racing car and was immersed in it all day. Other than eating and sleeping, he was either in compet.i.tions or practicing at the compet.i.tion venue and club.
“Alright, I understand. Goodbye, Big Brother.” Murong Qiao said goodbye with a smile.
Xian Yu seemed to be busy, so he didn’t say anything. He could only hurriedly respond and return to his work.
On the other hand, after Murong Qiao received the address, she told Jiang Chi directly and prepared to get up and set off.
Fortunately, the club address Xian Yu gave was not too far from the company. She only needed to take a taxi and reached the destination in just over ten minutes.
It seemed to agree with the style of speed and pa.s.sion. The club’s decor was also like a racing car, creating a simple and clear sense of limit.
As soon as Murong Qiao alighted from the taxi, the first thing she saw was the racing logo made of black and white on the top of the club’s entrance. It hung high at the door and had an extremely strong presence.
This was the first time Murong Qiao had come to such a place. Because she was not familiar with the route and many other reasons, she walked towards the front desk and prepared to ask.
Murong Qiao said, “h.e.l.lo, I’m here to look for someone.”
“h.e.l.lo, Young Miss. We have a membership system here. Do you have a membership card?” The front desk smiled professionally at her.
Murong Qiao frowned. “I can’t enter just if I don’t have it?”
“Only members can enter.” The front desk nodded apologetically. “If you’re here to look for a friend, you can call the other party.”
These words sounded easy, but it was a little difficult for Murong Qiao.
She didn’t have Tang Huai’s number.
The two of them had only met a few times in total. The last time was when she brought him to the hospital, they also drove there and forgot to get his contact details.
Just as Murong Qiao was thinking if there was any other way to enter, a voice suddenly came from behind.
“This is my friend. I’ll bring her in.” A slightly hearty voice sounded from the side, attracting Murong Qiao’s attention.
She turned around and saw a man in casual black pants standing behind her.
He had a gentle temperament. When he saw Murong Qiao turn around to look at him, he smiled back.
“Young Master Tang,” the front desk greeted softly before returning to her job. Clearly, she knew this person.
Murong Qiao looked at the other party, but it only made him chuckle.
“Follow me in first.” The other party pointed at the pa.s.sageway.
Seeing that the other party didn’t seem to have any intention of hitting on her, and even walked in front to help lead the way, after thinking for a moment, Murong Qiao followed him in.
Let’s go in first.
The two of them moved deeper.
After pa.s.sing through the long corridor, Murong Qiao looked at the silver-white elevator in front of her with a rare puzzled expression, but she still walked in.
Seeing the other party press the b.u.t.ton and the elevator door slowly close, Murong Qiao took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She lowered her eyes and stared at the clean ground.
“I’m sorry for taking you here without asking.” It was the other party who spoke first. “It’s just that when I saw that situation back then, I felt that you should need my help.”
“I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Tang Yu. I’m considered a friend of Tang Huai’s.” Only then did Tang Yu say his name.
Murong Qiao remembered this name. “Thank you for helping me just now.” “It’s a small matter.” Tang Yu smiled. “Are you here to look for Tang Huai?” To be able to come to this place, she could only be here to look for Tang Huai. It was not difficult for Tang Yu to make this guess. Recalling how Tang Huai left early at the compet.i.tion a few days ago and left with Murong Qiao, he could guess the other party’s motive the moment he saw Murong Qiao today.
He was the person who spoke to Tang Huai the other day after the compet.i.tion, so he naturally knew about Murong Qiao’s existence.
“Yes.” Murong Qiao nodded.
“For his illness?”
“…Yes.”
Seeing Murong Qiao admit it, the smile in Tang Yu’s eyes faded a lot.
Seeing the numbers beside the elevator slowly change, Murong Qiao originally thought that the topic was over, but after a long pause, she heard the other party’s voice.
“That’s not an easy task,” Tang Yu sighed.
As one of his few friends, Tang Yu was also worried about Tang Huai’s injury.
After all, he really treated Tang Huai as a friend, so he didn’t want him to suddenly die on the track..
