Chapter 614 - 612: Quickly Get Together with Jing Huai
"Miss Ye?" Qiao Yu’s voice on the other end of the call sounded a bit disdainful."It’s me."
"Sorry, I’m a bit busy right now and don’t have the time..."
Ye Qingxin interrupted at the right moment, "Miss Qiao, I’ve always thought you were a smart person. Why bother about the identity of an ally when trying to be successful? Even if I’m just a prostitute, as long as I’m valuable to you, cooperating once would be harmless."
"Alright, speak up, no need for unnecessary words, I don’t have much time."
Ye Qingxin chuckled, "Xiao Jinghuai’s mother is ill, suffering from dementia. I think as long as Miss Qiao is smart, you will surely seize this opportunity, right?"
"..." There was silence for a while, then a voice unusually excited, "Are you—are you serious?"
"If Miss Qiao doesn’t believe me, you can personally go to the First People’s Hospital and see. I think the lady would very much like to meet you too."
This news was worth investigating for Qiao Yu, regardless of its truth. In fact, she had already guessed that it was likely due to Xiao Jinghuai and Yan Mingxiu’s matter that had upset the old lady.
Young people can’t tolerate infidelity, let alone the older generation.
She was too foolish, she should have realized earlier that there was still an old lady who would back her up—
Immediately, Qiao Yu canceled her plans and arrived at the First People’s Hospital two hours later. She was covered from head to toe, obviously not wanting to be exposed to the public eye.
The hospital was too crowded, and everyone there either had an illness or had sick people around them, so they had no interest in gossiping about celebrities.
Qiao Yu got the room number from Jiang Yixiu and made her way grandly to the hospital’s VIP ward, which was comparable to a five-star hotel, making one feel comfortable upon entering.
Xiao Jinghuai saw her and was somewhat surprised, but recalling what his mother had repeatedly said to him, he coldly remarked, "You’ve come."
"...Hmm." Qiao Yu removed her mask and sunglasses, walked to the bedside, and pretended to be concerned, "Brother Jinghuai, how is Aunt?"
"Sometimes good, sometimes bad." Xiao Jinghuai’s expression remained calm, "Who informed you?"
Qiao Yu’s eyes shifted, "Oh, I have a friend who happened to come to the hospital and saw it, purely coincidental."
"That’s good," Xiao Jinghuai continued, "She wanted to find you anyway, saves me the trouble of contacting."
Qiao Yu’s heart skipped a beat, "Did Aunt just ask for me?"
"Mm—"
"Really?" Qiao Yu leaned closer to look at the elderly woman before her, "Aunt seems much older now, not like before. Brother Jinghuai, you should stop upsetting her in the future; the elder needs to be cared for."
Xiao Jinghuai didn’t respond, simply sitting quietly, his gaze calm, unclear what he was thinking—
At this moment, Duanmu Qing slowly opened her eyes and immediately grabbed Qiao Yu’s hand upon seeing her, "Yu’er, you’re here, how wonderful. You must be with Jinghuai; he was charmed by a wild man, truly sinful. You must be with him now. Only you can bring him back; I’m begging you."
"...Aunt, please don’t say that." Qiao Yu was delighted inside, thinking this time she could surely win back Xiao Jinghuai’s heart, "Affairs of the heart can’t be forced; we should respect Brother Jinghuai’s wishes."
"What wishes!" Duanmu Qing grew even more agitated, "He’s been bewitched, first by that Song Song, now by a man. You’re so wonderful, yet he never understands true feelings, if only he were with you earlier, I could have had a grandchild by now."
Qiao Yu blushed, "A—Aunt, what are you talking about?"
