Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I’m very happy that you came to look for me today. 1 know that you’ve always been a kind child. Your brother will definitely recover slowly. However, you have to know that my fate with your brother has ended. Marriage is not something that can be forced. If we persist, both of us will suffer.”
“I understand, Sister Jiang.” Xu Pingping nodded.
“Mm.”
Xu Pingping turned around and was about to leave, but she suddenly stopped. After struggling for a while, she looked at Jiang Youyi. “Sister Jiang, you’re really good. When 1 first came, 1 was impatient, but after chatting with you for a while, I realized that my heart had already calmed down. I like the feeling on your body very much. It makes people feel at ease. In the future… can 1 come and look for you often?”
Xu Pingping looked at Jiang Youyi nervously, afraid of being rejected.
Jiang Youyi did not answer and only gave her a smile.
***
Not long after Xu Pingping left, news articles were released one after another, adding fuel to the fire and attracting attention. Most of the top few were: The heir of the Xu family was seriously ill, his ex-fiancee had not appeared, and so on.
The general meaning was the same. It was just that the head of the Xu family was lovesick, but Jiang Youyi did not appear. Their words were vague and insinuating.
However, one of them was the most vicious.
The content was about how Jiang Youyi had hooked up with Xu Yuning and was now entangled with Lu Yunxiao. Jiang Youyi has become the one who thinks about getting more after having something.
The description was so vivid that those who didn’t know better would think that this reporter slept in the same bed as Jiang Youyi every day.
The onlookers were excited and started to guess if Jiang Youyi would visit Xu Yuning. There were also people who started to sit cross-legged and follow suit. Nearly 70% of the people bet that Jiang Youyi would go. Some people really liked to watch the show.
Jiang Youyi, who was still watching television, suddenly heard her phone ring. Lu Yunxiao sent a message. “You are not allowed to go.”
“Huh?”
“If you dare to go, I’ll expose to the media that we really have a child.”
“Then I’ll call the police and arrest you for spreading rumors and slander.”
“Try it?”
Jiang Youyi could not be bothered with him and did not reply. She turned around and pulled her brothers, sisters, and best friends into a small group.
Jiang Youyi: “Bet that I won’t go. Bet heavily.”
Jiang Nian: “Got it, got it.”
Zhong Xiaohui: “Sister, you’re so awesome.”
Jiang Youtian: “One million has been placed.”
Chen Hao: “I’ll bet 200,000!”

The strong smell of disinfectant in the hospital was really unpleasant. Mrs. Xu walked out of the room and saw that Zhang Meng was still kneeling at the door of the ward. Thinking about how unlucky she was, she turned around and went back.
Not long after, the bodyguard came out and told Zhang Meng that Mrs. Xu wanted her to go in. Zhang Meng was overjoyed, but she did not show it. She stood up unsteadily. Her legs were already numb as she limped in. In the ward, Mrs. Xu stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside quietly.
“Thank you, Auntie.”
“Shut up,” Mrs. Xu said coldly. Zhang Meng immediately shut up. She knew how to read people’s expressions. “You, stay and take care of Yuning. If anything happens to him, you know the consequences.”
“I understand.” Zhang Meng was nimble and quickly fetched water. She placed a hot towel on Xu Yuning’s forehead.
The doctor had already said earlier that Xu Yuning’s fever had subsided. As for why he did not wake up, it was most likely because he was unwilling.
Mrs. Xu looked out of the window sharply. She already knew what had happened on the news. The news was all over the place, and the unscrupulous media was fighting over this lousy news.
Haha…
“Xu Pingping, get back here while I still have the patience!” Mrs. Xu held the phone and scolded Xu Pingping. At this moment, Xu Yuning, who was lying on the bed, woke up slowly.
“Youyi…” Xu Yuning murmured, thinking that he had returned to that time with Jiang Youyi by his side. He gently grabbed Zhang Meng’s hand and said her name.
It did not feel good to be used as a substitute. Zhang Meng felt a little bitter. “Yuning, you’re finally awake,” Zhang Meng said softly.
Xu Yuning woke up and saw the person in front of him clearly. He immediately let go. “What are you doing here?”
“When I heard that you were sick, 1 immediately came to see you. It was Madam who let me in to take care of you.”
Mrs. Xu looked at her quietly and did not say anything. “My son, you’re finally awake.” Mrs. Xu quickly walked to her son’s bed. Xu Yuning had become much more haggard after being unconscious for the past few days.
“Mom, I’m fine.”
“What do you mean by fine? Look at you, you have a fever. You should focus on recuperating now. I’ve already pushed the work to your father.” Mrs. Xu was still domineering.
“Mom, I want to see Jiang Youyi.” Xu Yuning could still remember that when he was unconscious, his dreams were filled with Jiang Youyi. She walked under the sunlight, shining brightly.
However, when he woke up, everything disappeared..
