Chapter 283: Feeling Envious Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
An An Furen br.i.m.m.i.n.g with fury walked out, almost b.u.mping into Mu Xiaoxiao.
“Scram!” he roared angrily.
Mu Xiaoxiao"s reflexes were a little slow, and An Furen was about to push her away.
In the next second, a dark silhouette flashed over and grabbed An Furen"s arm in one fell swoop.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked a little daze at Yin Shaojie before her.
Wasn"t he in the room? Why was he so fast?
Yin Shaojie glared at An Furen coldly, anger in his dark eyes. “How dare you shout at her?”
“I-I…” An Furen had never imagined that he could be frightened to the point where he trembled by a youth of less than eighteen years of age.
Having just been given the cold shoulder, his heart was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with anger. When he opened the door and saw Mu Xiaoxiao, he thought he had found an easy target to bully and thought that he could shout at her.
“Ah, AH — ! I"m sorry, I"m sorry! I"m the one at fault!” An Furen"s arm was almost going to break from the tight grasp, and he was breaking out in cold sweat from the pain.
Yin Shaojie pushed him away. “Scram! Don"t let me see you ever again!”
An Furen fell to the ground ungracefully. Terrified, he hastily crawled back up and dashed off, stumbling as he did.
“Xiaoxiao, are you alright?” Yin Shaojie then looked at Mu Xiaoxiao worriedly. His terrible anger had disappeared, and he had turned back into the Yin Shaojie she knew when he faced her.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. “I"m fine.”
She walked into the room and asked him, “What happened just now? Has it been settled?”
Standing by the bedside, An Zhixin looked at her with an indescribable emotion in her eyes.
She had seen how Yin Shaojie had protected Mu Xiaoxiao earlier, and it made her feel… envious.
Noticing Mu Xiaoxiao look over, An Zhixin gave her a smile, but it was filled with a little bitterness. “My father… owed a lot of money to other people. Those people came looking for him last night and forced him to pay up, so he came looking for me, wanting me to help him earn some money…” she said.
She kept silent regarding how that money was going to be earned. It was the same situation as the night before.
Mu Xiaoxiao surveyed the messy ward, astonished. Most of the things here had been smashed.
She couldn"t imagine how An Zhixin"s father had thrashed the place earlier.
No wonder the doctor had been so anxious to inform Yin Shaojie about this.
“Oh, are you alright?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked An Zhixin politely.
“Thank you, I"m fine. Luckily, Shaojie came in time,” An Zhixin shook her head as she said, her gaze on Yin Shaojie.
Mu Xiaoxiao"s heart throbbed.
Shaojie…?
She actually called Yin Shaojie by that!
Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little upset upon hearing how intimately An Zhixin called Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie was standing behind Mu Xiaoxiao, so he did not see the emotions in her eyes.
He looked at An Zhixin and said, “Let"s get you discharged then.”
An Zhixin looked troubled and said hesitantly, “Actually, you"ve already helped me a lot. You don"t have to anymore; I"ll take care of the rest myself.
Luckily, Yin Shaojie hadn"t accepted her father"s blackmailing, or she would have been too ashamed to show her face.
Mu Xiaoxiao made an effort to smile amicably and asked them, “Do you mind telling me what you"re talking about?”
She didn"t want to be an outsider again!
An Zhixin looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, finding it difficult to speak.
This made Mu Xiaoxiao even more bothered.
So, how was Yin Shaojie going to settle An Zhixin"s problem?
She looked at Yin Shaojie and waited for his reply.
