Chapter 90: New Phone
Shen You was focused on studying the phone while Huo Xiao was staring at her.
“Is this your number?” Shen You noticed that there was a phone number already stored in the phone and turned to ask.
Huo Xiao was stunned when he was asked this question suddenly. He just looked at her.
Shen You did not expect Huo Xiao to look fixedly at her in this manner and was stunned for a moment.
When Xie Xiao walked into the ward and saw the scene, she snickered and then coughed loudly.
Shen You and Huo Xiao woke up from their daze and looked at the other side to ease the awkwardness.
Xie Xiao walked forward and looked at the phone in Shen You’s hand. “Yo! You’re actually sitting on the bed and the phone came from the sky?”
“Huo Xiao sent it over.” Shen You pursed her lips and still looked a little embarrassed.
Xie Xiao saw Shen You’s expression and wanted to tease her even more. “Huo Xiao is really generous. This phone is much better than mine!”
Shen You picked up the phone and handed it to Xie Xiao. “Why don’t we exchange?”
“I wouldn’t dare!” Xie Xiao quickly rejected. “There might be something that Huo Xiao saved in here.”
Thinking of the only phone number in the phone, Shen You smiled. “There’s nothing! It’s a new phone!”
Xie Xiao ignored her and sat down beside Shen You’s bed. “Quick! Let me see!”
The two of them leaned their heads against each other and studied the phone’s functions together, completely ignoring Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao stood awkwardly on the spot. After a moment, he said, “I’ll go buy you guys some drinks.”
Huo Xiao then left quickly. Looking at Huo Xiao’s back as he left, the corners of Shen You’s mouth curled up slightly.
This was the first phone she had in this life, and it was also the first gift that someone had given her in her two lifetimes.
She did not know what that feeling was. However, she was really grateful to Huo Xiao for making her feel valued!
When Huo Xiao returned to the ward again, he found that Li Ru and Shen Jiao had come to the hospital together.
Huo Xiao frowned as he looked at Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao lowered her head throughout. She no longer looked as proud as before.
Xie Xiao was like a hen protecting a chick, standing in front of Shen You. Li Ru was standing beside Shen You’s bed with an apologetic expression on her face.
Huo Xiao walked into the ward and came to Shen You’s bedside.
Li Ru still had an apologetic expression on her face, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. Her gaze was fixed on Shen You. “Xiao You, I’m begging you, okay?”
Shen You looked at Li Ru expressionlessly. No one knew what she was thinking. Huo Xiao did not say anything. He just stood quietly beside Shen You.
Xie Xiao glared at Li Ru angrily. “Auntie! What’s the point of forcing Xiao You!”
“But, Ah Jiao, she…” Li Ru said as tears were slowly flowing down her face.
“You feel sorry for Shen Jiao. Don’t you feel sorry for Xiao You? She’s your biological daughter!” Xie Xiao became even angrier.
“No! That’s not what I meant!” Li Ru immediately refuted.
“I just, I just want Xiao You to understand us, to understand Ah Jiao’s difficulties,” Li Ru said guiltily.
Xie Xiao suddenly sneered, “You want Xiao You to understand you? Have you ever understood her?”
“Shen Jiao said that she’s willing to give up everything for the Shen family. Now that she changed her mind at the last minute, and you want to use Xiao You as a scapegoat?” Xie Xiao looked past Li Ru and glared fiercely at Shen Jiao.
“No! This is not the case!” Li Ru spoke again and interceded for Shen Jiao.
“She had no choice!” The tears on Li Ru’s face were flowing down her cheeks.
“At that time, she really wanted to bear all of this for the Shen family!” Li Ru looked back at Shen Jiao.
Then, she walked over, pulled Shen Jiao up, and returned to the bed.
She rolled up Shen Jiao’s sleeve and showed Shen You the injuries on her arm. “But, I didn’t expect Chen Shen to actually…”
Shen You looked at the injuries on Shen Jiao’s arms expressionlessly. The scars were of different depths and looked like she had been beaten up several times.
Shen Jiao hurriedly pulled down her sleeve. She looked as if she was frightened and timid.
Shen You looked at Shen Jiao’s expression, and for some reason, she felt a chill in her heart.
Li Ru looked at Shen Jiao, and her face was full of pain. “How can Ah Jiao stand it if this goes on!”
“That’s why you came here to let Xiao You to replace Shen Jiao?” Xie Xiao’s tone rose even higher, and she became even angrier.
“No! No!” Li Ru quickly waved her arms.
“I just hope that Xiao You can discuss with the Zhao family and see if we can continue with the engagement…” Li Ru’s gaze was fixed on Shen You, with strong sense of pleading.
