She remembered too that whenever she was bullied at school and came home with red eyes, Brother Liangchuan would ask her what the matter was. She would never say anything.
But the next day, he would always appear at her school to ensure that justice was served.
But now…
She looked at her leg.
It was broken and Brother Liangchuan wouldn’t come?
Song Yuanxi clenched her fists tightly. She thought about the call she had made to Qiao Lian, her confidence in placing a bet. It felt like a cruel slap to her own face.
A look of sullenness came over her face at once.
–
Qiao Lian had been staring blankly into s.p.a.ce all morning at the news agency, feeling unsettled.
Now that Song Yuanxi was injured, was Shen Liangchuan with her at the hospital?
She stared blankly into s.p.a.ce again. Suddenly, she felt unable to tolerate the situation any further.
After all, ignoring it wouldn’t solve the problem.
She got up, took a leave from work for the day and hailed a cab back to the villa.
As she entered the house, she saw Xia Yehua busily getting the helpers to put everything together.
Auntie Li brought a pot of soup out from the kitchen.
Xia Yehua sighed and said, “More calcium will help healing her bone. Ah, this child, Yuanxi, doesn’t know how to take care of herself. How did she break her bone?”
Auntie Li shook her head and said, “Ms. Yuanxi takes everything too seriously! We have no time, this soup has been boiling for only two hours. We’ll leave the rest simmering and we can bring more over tonight. Madam, why don’t you take this with you first?”
Xia Yehua nodded and lifted the container as she got ready to leave. Then, she noticed Qiao Lian and paused for a moment. “Xiao Qiao, you’re back? You’ve worked all night so go upstairs quickly and rest! Yuanxi was injured during filming, so I’m just going to the hospital to see her.”
Qiao Lian’s eyes flashed as she heard this.
Going to the hospital to see her?
The thought of Song Yuanxi’s ident.i.ty was like a bone stuck in Qiao Lian’s throat.
Seeing how anxious Xia Yehua was, she immediately offered, “Mom, let me accompany you.”
Xia Yehua nodded.
They got into the car and were soon on their way.
Looking at the time anxiously, Xia Yehua grumbled, “This Yuanxi, from a young age she has been afraid of pain. I can imagine she must be crying like crazy!”
Suddenly, Qiao Lian felt gloomy seeing how Xia Yehua was fussing over this whole matter.
She wondered how Xia Yehua, who had doted on Song Yuanxi so much, would feel if she saw Song Yuanxi’s true colours?
She took in a deep breath as Xia Yehua continued, “Where on earth has Liangchuan gone? Yuanxi has gotten into such a serious accident and he’s not around. What could he be so busy with that he doesn’t even have time to see a sick family member?”
Qiao Lian was stunned when she heard this. “Mom, are you saying that Shen Liangchuan has not gone to the hospital?”
Her spirits lifted slightly when she heard the news.
Very soon, the two of them arrived at the hospital.
Qiao Lian and Xia Yehua hurried to Song Yuanxi’s ward.
On entering the ward, they saw Song Yuanxi sitting on the bed, looking very depressed and listless.
Song Cheng was sitting by the side, reading a magazine. He stood up at once when he saw them come in.
“Yuanxi, how are you feeling?” Xia Yehua walked towards the girl anxiously and grabbed her arms. “You silly girl, why didn’t you tell me about this? It’s a serious matter! If it weren’t for the fact that I watch the news once in a while, I wouldn’t have found out about it. It’s it painful? Don’t you cry…”
Curiously, these words seemed to have exactly that effect on Song Yuanxi. Her eyes became bloodshot immediately and she said with much anxiety, “Auntie, you’re not in the best condition, why did you come here?”
