Yun Nan nodded and sneered, “But I guess I shouldn’t be so surprised you couldn’t find her. You don’t even know what she works as, do you?”
Xi Cheng turned pale, then red, and then pale again. Yun Nan wiped away the tears on her face and said, “That year, Fang Xi excitedly told us that she had a boyfriend; she’d found her Mr. Right. They met when he’d saved her from some hooligans harassing her. She said he was her gift from the heavens, Fate’s compensation for her life’s difficulties.”
“Her parents had divorced and remarried. Each built their own family, so technically, Fang Xi has two families, but in reality, she has none because there’s no place for her in any of them. She’s an awkward guest in both her parents’ families, but then she got a boyfriend. Everything’s different; she has her own family now. There’s someone she loves waiting for her at home.”
“She took many part-time jobs for that man and worked hard to earn money. Because her boyfriend was very picky about food, she learned how to cook and cook well. She carried a notebook with her everywhere, which she used to note down all her boyfriend’s likes and preferences.”
“She marked down each and every special and commemorative date. She clearly counted and remembered the number of days you two were together. Fang Xi is calm and rational at work, but when it comes to relationships, she isn’t one to hesitate and immersed herself with a passion that could burn her to ashes. ”
Yun Nan took a deep breath and looked at Xi Cheng. “And you? Do you know what she likes to eat? Do you know what movies she enjoys watching? Do you know what her favorite color is?”
“You don’t know any of that! You don’t know anything because you’ve never cared about her, Mr. Xi. Belated affection is meaningless! Right now, her life is hanging in the balance on the operating table, and you’re here playing the tragic lover! Who’s the act for? No one gives a rat’s ????? about it. How’s this helping anything? You have no right to be here! You have no right to know whether she lives or dies!”
Xi Cheng was dumbstruck. Yun Nan couldn’t be bothered to look at him. She turned around and saw Ye Kun standing there, frozen. Her tone gentled slightly but was still cold as she said, “Thank you for helping Fang Xi move on from her failed relationship. She has been very happy during this period of time with you. But unfortunately, as fate would have it, you and Xi Cheng turned out to be buddies. Although Fang Xi didn’t do anything wrong, I don’t think you’ll be comfortable with such a relationship, so please leave quietly. Even if you can’t love her, please don’t hurt her.”
Ye Kun’s eyes reddened at that. The door to the operating room opened, and everyone looked over. “Which one of you is her family?” the nurse asked loudly.
“Me!” Yun Nan said as she raised her hand firmly. The young nurse walked over and handed the clipboard she was holding to Yun Nan. Her voice was a little gentler as she told Yun Nan, “This is the notice of critical condition. You, her family member, need to sign here. The patient is suffering from a massive cerebral hemorrhage. The doctors are currently operating on her. If—I‘
Yun Nan didn’t wait for the nurse to finish speaking and anxiously uttered, “No ifs! I’m begging you and the doctors; please save my sister! She’s only 28 years old! I’ll sign whatever you need, but please, you must save her, no matter what!” She snatched the pen and signed her name on the critical condition notice.
The young nurse recognized Yun Nan; her life-and-death romance with Shi Nian had caused a sensation several days ago, after all. Seeing that Yun Nan was the family member of the patient inside, she felt sympathetic and softly replied, “The doctors will definitely do their best, but her injuries are very severe. You have to be mentally prepared.”
The nurse went back in. Xiang Yang came to Yun Nan’s side and gently held her hand. Yun Nan hugged Xiang Yang’s waist and sobbed uncontrollably. Xiang Yang also cried. She stroked Yun Nan’s head, not knowing how to comfort her.
Xi Cheng and Ye Kun had moved closer when the nurse came out, wanting to know how Fang Xi was, but they didn’t dare to get too close. Shi Nian looked at his two buddies and mentally sighed, ‘Fate truly dealt them a rotten hand.’
“Guys, go home. There’s no need to wait here. I’ll let you know if there’s any news,” Shi Nian said softly.
Xi Cheng and Ye Kun both didn’t move. Neither of them looked at each other. Shi Nian sighed, “Xi Cheng, go home. Things at your house are probably a mess right now. You have to give Auntie Han Yuan an explanation, don’t you? They might blame Fang Xi even more if you don’t explain everything clearly. Who knows what will happen then.”
Xi Cheng lowered his head. Shi Nian then told Ye Kun, ‘Ye Kun, go back and get some sleep. Everything can wait until you wake up.” Shi Nian knew that Ye Kun had suffered multiple emotional hits today. In this complicated mess of relationships, Ye Kun was the most innocent but also the most deeply hurt.
Ye Kun didn’t say a word. Then he suddenly turned around and walked away without looking back. Shi Nian smiled bitterly before looking toward Xi Cheng.
Mr. Zhou, the Xi family’s butler, rushed over and shouted, “Young Master, Young Master! I’ve finally found you! Everything’s a mess back home. Madam had fainted but refused to go to the hospital. We need you back home, Young Master!”
When Xi Cheng heard that, he immediately asked, “How is my mother?”
