Capítulo 1588: Chapter 1589: If You Don’t Want to Wait, Then Get Lost
The drizzling autumn rain fell from the sky, landing on the earth, pressing down all the dust of the people.
When the fine rain fell into the pond in the Xiahous’ courtyard, it splashed ripples.
Due to the overcast weather, the sky appeared a bit dark, and so did the interior of the house.
Qiu Ruoxi sat by the bedside, quietly watching Ye Xunhuan who was lying on the bed. Her eyes, once as bright as the moon, looked hollow, with an undertone of grey or rather a lifelessness.
It was a lifelessness of despair towards life.
On the bed, Ye Xunhuan still lay motionless, except for breathing, there was no other movent, like a living dead.
Three days had passed, and Ye Xunhuan had not woken up. Qiu Ruoxi also stayed by Ye Xunhuan’s side day and night for three days.
Mu Shuyi and Xiahao Yunting saw all this, and the pain was in their hearts.
In these three days, it was one thing that Qiu Ruoxi stayed by Ye Xunhuan’s side constantly, but the problem was that she hardly ate anything during these three days. Continuing like this, Qiu Ruoxi’s body couldn’t take it and might collapse.
During these three days, Mu Shuyi and Xiahao Yunting tirelessly persuaded Qiu Ruoxi, urging her to rest, telling her that Ye Xunhuan would be fine.
But Qiu Ruoxi completely ignored their words!
Moreover, during these three days, Hu Zhimin ca to the Xiahou family once, saying he was ordered to interrogate Ye Xunhuan, but he was stopped at the door by Xiahao Yunting, not even getting a chance to see him.
This filled Hu Zhimin with anger, but there was nothing he could do as he simply couldn’t contend against Xiahao Yunting.
anwhile, it wasn’t just Hu Zhimin who ca. Within these three days, people from Shu Mountain, Kunlun, the Qi family, the Eastern family, and the Protectors ca one after another.
But they were all turned away by Xiahao Yunting with excuses, telling them to co back in a few days.
The people were angry in their hearts, yet none dared to force their way into the Xiahou family, so they all retreated. But Xiahao Yunting knew this was not a long-term solution.
A few days might be fine, but once ti went on, the anger in these people’s hearts would reach an uncontrollable level, and at that ti they would surely storm the Xiahou family regardless of everything!
After all, they had co politely before, yet you always avoided eting them, what’s the aning of this?
Xiahao Yunting didn’t want to shut these people out completely, but it was because Ye Xunhuan was in a coma now. If these people found out, who knows what might happen?
So Xiahao Yunting tried to delay as much as possible, hoping Ye Xunhuan would wake up soon.
But three days passed, and Ye Xunhuan showed no signs of waking up. Xiahao Yunting himself checked Ye Xunhuan’s body, and also had a doctor check, but found nothing wrong with Ye Xunhuan.
But Ye Xunhuan just wouldn’t wake up, plus the enemies outside watching like tigers, and his granddaughter’s pitiful and distracted appearance, Xiahao Yunting was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, but there was nothing he could do.
This morning, under the painstaking persuasion of Mu Shuyi and Xiahao Yunting, Qiu Ruoxi ate a little.
Just as Qiu Ruoxi finished eating, Uncle Zhong rushed in from outside, flustered.
“Master…”
Upon seeing Qiu Ruoxi’s distracted appearance, the words Uncle Zhong was about to utter were swallowed back into his stomach.
The whole Xiahou family knew about Qiu Ruoxi’s condition, and everyone was filled with worry for her, yet no one could help.
Xiahao Yunting, seeing Uncle Zhong’s anxious and uneasy face, seed to guess sothing in his heart, and slightly frowned: “Let’s talk outside!”
Even Uncle Zhong didn’t want to disturb Qiu Ruoxi, didn’t want to let her know about the current situation of the Xiahou family, so naturally, Xiahao Yunting didn’t want her to know either.
He wanted to do his best to protect Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan, to give them a clear world!
After he and Uncle Zhong walked out of the room, before Xiahao Yunting could ask, Uncle Zhong imdiately said: “Master, they are here again, and this ti they’re making a strong approach, saying if you don’t show up, they won’t leave today!”
Xiahao Yunting had long anticipated these people would eventually do this, he just didn’t expect them to be so quick.
Sighing slightly, Xiahao Yunting said lightly: “Where are they now?”
“In the front yard, Uncle Ao is currently receiving them.” Uncle Zhong said with a worried face.
He knew very well the current predicant of the Xiahou family.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the Xiahou family is now like a kingdom in ancient tis, besieged by enemy armies, the oppressive atmosphere shrouding everyone’s heart, filling their inner selves with a deep sense of unease.
“Let’s go and take a look!”
Uncle Zhong also knew that at this mont, Xiahao Yunting had to show up, otherwise, there would be no way to end the situation. So he didn’t say anything more, and directly followed Xiahao Yunting towards the front yard.
At this mont, the Xiahou family’s front yard had been fully repaired, with none of the previous ss, quite the opposite, it looked exactly like before.
Moreover, due to today’s rain, the entire Xiahou family was filled with an antique atmosphere.
In the Xiahou family’s main hall, it was crowded with people, so sitting, so standing, yet without exception, all these faces carried a hostile look.
Ao Wuheng sat on the right side of the main seat, holding a cup of tea, sipping lightly!
“Ao Wuheng, what’s your Xiahou family’s intention, ignoring us like this?”
An old man of a similar age to Ao Wuheng spoke up with a face full of displeasure.
The old man’s body was slightly plump, perhaps due to years of living in comfort, his complexion was ruddy, his hands seed untouched by spring water, appearing smooth and fair, yet steady as a rock.
Just from his appearance, this old man looked like a successful businessman.
But everyone present knew, this old man was not a successful businessman; he was the third key figure among the Protectors – Xiao Jiangnan!
After a brief eting, the Protectors had sent Xiao Jiangnan to the Xiahou family, after all, this matter was too significant, even if the head of the Protectors had a good relationship with Xiahao Yunting, he couldn’t suppress it.
Besides, relationships are relationships; sotis face is more important than relationships.
Therefore, sending Xiao Jiangnan could be seen as how much the Protectors valued this matter; otherwise, Xiao Jiangnan wouldn’t have been sent here.
Ao Wuheng glanced at Xiao Jiangnan faintly, and with an indifferent attitude said: “Our Xiahou family didn’t invite you, you ca on your own!”
“Moreover, our master is busy, he’ll speak when he has ti, if you want to wait, sit and wait, but the Xiahou family won’t provide als!”
“Ao Wuheng, what do you an?” Xiao Jiangnan’s face imdiately showed an angry expression.
“If you don’t want to wait, then get lost!” Ao Wuheng’s face turned stern: “That’s what I an!”
