“Yes,” Yu Bo replied respectfully. He looked at her and said, “Miss Wen, go home and rest. Don’t stay here. The weather is cold. Be careful not to catch a cold.”
It had only been two months. Ever since Miss Dongfang had fallen sick, Miss Wen had already lost a lot of weight. Even he felt his heart ache, let alone Master.
During this period, Master’s health had not been good. His cold and fever kept recurring and he had not fully recovered. Miss Wen was already very tired from taking care of Miss Dongfang. Master did not want her to worry about him anymore.
It was the same today. He had initially agreed to come back and have dinner with Miss Wen, but he had started having a low fever and cough again in the afternoon. He had taken medicine and had an IV drip, but his fever had not subsided.
Master had said that Miss Wen was a doctor. He could not hide it from her that he was sick. Now that he was back, she would be even more worried.
!!
However, looking at Miss Wen’s expression after she knew that Master was not coming, she was very depressed. He did not know if she had misunderstood.
Wen Ruoshui watched as Yu Bo got into the car and the car disappeared in front of her. She looked at the empty road for a long time before slowly standing up and turning to return to the house.
Ever since Chu Chu fell sick, the Dongfang family had not allowed her to enter the Dongfang family. She knew that they blamed her. They all felt that it was because of her that Chu Chu had such a strange illness. She was a jinx, the culprit, and the person who brought her bad luck.
Especially Auntie Shen Nan. Chu Chu’s mother looked at her with disgust and hatred. In the afternoon, she chased her out.
She did not know where she should go now. Besides Chu Chu, no one in the Dongfang Family was willing to let her step into the Dongfang Family. Even Grandpa Dongfang’s gaze toward her started to change.
When Nangong Lengyu reached the airport, she called her and told her to set off for the Dongfang family in half an hour. She was afraid that the Dongfang family would make things difficult for her if she went alone.
Wen Ruoshui was busy with Dongfang Chu’s illness. She had applied for an indefinite leave at the research inst.i.tute . She would only go to work when she recovered.
She had nothing to do anyway. After she calmed down, her imagination would run wild. She might as well walk all the way to the Dongfang family to kill time and energy.
Halfway there, snowflakes started falling from the sky.
A silver-white car followed her from a distance, keeping a distance from her.
In the backseat of the car.
Yan Yuanfei looked at the young lady who was walking along the road. His eyes were deep. In the cold wind, her figure looked even thinner. She was so small that his heart ached.
He was afraid that she would be sad and lose her mind, so he came back to look at her from afar. He did not expect her to not cherish her body so much.
“Sir, I’ll go down!” Yu Bo looked at the man behind him.
“No need.” Yan Yuanfei shook his head. For a moment, he really wanted to rush down and hug her tightly. He touched his hot forehead and finally controlled his impulse. He made a call. “Fifth Brother, where are you now? Come over to Haojiang Road.”
The north wind howled, and increasingly bigger snowflakes fell.
Wen Ruoshui looked up at the sky and reached out to catch the snowflakes. The moment the snowflakes touched her skin, they quickly melted. She tried her best to smile and tell herself that it was alright.
No matter what happened, she could take it. She was no longer the child she had been back then. Hadn’t she survived when her parents and grandfather had pa.s.sed away?
When Lu Yubai drove to the designated location, he realized why his second brother had asked him to come. He rolled down the car window and a charming smile appeared on his handsome face. He shouted, “Second Sister-in-law!”
Wen Ruoshui turned her head and the first thing she saw was a flashy red sports car. In order to act cool, it was even open. In the driver’s seat, a handsome young man with peach blossom eyes was smiling at her.
“Second Sister-in-law, what a coincidence. I’ll take you wherever you go.” Lu Yubai smiled brightly, but he had a pair of loving peach blossom eyes. No matter how he smiled, he gave off a frivolous vibe.
“No need.” Wen Ruoshui did not want to take the car. She just wanted to take a walk. Otherwise, she would have driven herself.
“It’s cold outside. Be careful not to get sick. My second brother’s heart will ache.” Lu Yubai had accepted a mission, so he naturally had to be careful. He had already gotten out of the car and opened his umbrella.
“I’ll be there soon.” Wen Ruoshui looked at him. “Go do your thing.”
“Second Sister-in-law, if you don’t get in the car, I’ll walk with you.” Lu Yubai stood beside her and held the umbrella for her.
“Second Sister-in-law, if you don’t get in the car, I’ll walk with you.” Lu Yubai stood beside her and held the umbrella for her.
Lu Yubai hurried over and opened the car door for her gentlemanly. He bent down slightly and placed his hand on the door to prevent her from knocking her head. “Second Sister-in-law, please.”
“Thank you.” Wen Ruoshui nodded politely and thanked him.
Lu Yubai kept feeling that Second Sister-in-law’s behavior was a little strange. Her att.i.tude toward him was neither warm nor cold. She was very distant, as if she was drawing a clear line between them.
Ever since Second Brother had started dating her, he would bring Second Sister-in-law along for eight out of ten gatherings. Their relations.h.i.+p was already very good, and he already treated her as his biological sister.
“Why isn’t Second Brother with you?” Lu Yubai asked casually.
Second Brother was also strange. He must have quarreled with Second Sister-in-law, so he had asked him to pick her up.
However, Second Sister-in-law had a good temper. He must have done something bad to anger her.
“He has something to do.” Wen Ruoshui had a lot on her mind. When she thought of Yan Yuanfei’s att.i.tude toward her recently, she asked, “Do you know what he’s been busy with recently?”
Lu Yubai shook his head. “What he does is a state secret. How could a commoner like me know? Besides, even you don’t know, Second Sister-in-law. How could I know?”
Wen Ruoshui nodded and did not speak anymore.
Lu Yubai was a chatterbox who could not stop talking. He asked her if she had found out the reason for Dongfang Chu’s illness and if she had improved recently.
Wen Ruoshui’s expression was bitter and full of helplessness. “No, I’m still investigating.”
Lu Yubai said, “I know a few foreign experts. I’ll help arrange an appointment and get them to take a look.”
Wen Ruoshui did not want to miss any opportunities and nodded. “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Behind the sports car, the silver-white car drifted further away.
Yan Yuanfei looked at the sports car from afar, as if he could see the person he was worried about through the sports car.
Lu Yubai sent Wen Ruoshui to the Dongfang family’s door and left. He had never had a good impression of the Dongfang family. It was fine if he went to visit them.
The Old Master of the Dongfang Family looked down on him and felt that he was an illegitimate child. His att.i.tude toward him was also extremely bad. There was no need for him to be warm to him while he was given the cold shoulder.
