Capítulo 1778: Chapter 1777: Gratitude
The atmosphere suddenly turned tense.
ng Ke’s expression changed accordingly.
He didn’t expect that after saving her mother, Bai Xiaoxiao would still keep him at a distance.
Originally, he thought Bai Xiaoxiao would be very grateful to him, and even if she didn’t commit herself to him, she should stay to accompany and take care of him.
ng Ke felt a subtle discontent in his heart.
But he didn’t show it, his face remained calm and gentle.
Bai Xiaoxiao also felt awkward and didn’t know what to say when the door of the ward opened appropriately at this mont, revealing Madam ng, Wen Ran, and Li Shiyao and daughter.
Seemingly sensing the awkward atmosphere in the room, Wen Ran smiled and said, “Xiaoxiao, Uncle Bai and Aunt Qiao have already gone ho, are you leaving now or…?”
Bai Xiaoxiao imdiately stood up, responding to Wen Ran, “I’ll leave now; if it’s any later, Ziyi will be angry.”
If it were soone else, they might be puzzled hearing Bai Xiaoxiao’s words.
But Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao have always had an understanding, so she imdiately understood and said with a smile, “Just explain a few things to him later, Ziyi is easy to appease.”
“Xiaoxiao, are you leaving?”
Madam ng spoke beside them.
Bai Xiaoxiao apologized, “Aunt ng, I’m sorry, Ziyi and I have made plans long ago. If I break the appointnt this afternoon, he’ll be upset.”
“But now, ng Ke is injured.”
Madam ng’s smile faded, she was unhappy with Bai Xiaoxiao’s actions.
Her son was injured because he saved Bai Xiaoxiao’s mother, Bai Xiaoxiao should be imnsely grateful and stay at his bedside to care for him until he was discharged.
But now, she just took a glance and was eager to leave.
This made her, as a mother, how could she not be mad?
ng Ke saw the situation and hurried to diate, “Mom, Xiaoxiao is leaving because she has sothing to do, don’t I have you to take care of ?”
Madam ng glared at him, “Do you want to take care of you or hope Xiaoxiao will accompany you, don’t think I don’t know.”
The atmosphere again beca awkward.
Wen Ran looked at Madam ng’s unhappy expression and then at ng Ke, gently suggesting, “Aunt ng, please don’t be upset, ng Ke has a special nursing assistant to care for him, and Xiaoxiao leaving isn’t the sa as not coming back to see him.”
“But Xiaoxiao is ng Ke’s girlfriend, isn’t she supposed to stay here with ng Ke?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao’s face slightly changed, her gaze turning to ng Ke.
ng Ke’s eyes flickered twice, “Xiaoxiao, you should hurry and go; don’t let Ziyi wait.”
After saying that, he turned to his mother, “Mom, I have sothing to tell you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao saw that he had said this and didn’t care whether Madam ng was pleased or angry, bidding farewell beside her, then left the ward together with Wen Ran.
“What do you want to say?”
Madam ng, angrily looked at her son, blad him for letting Bai Xiaoxiao leave.
ng Ke looked up at the ceiling, scanned the ward, then lightly said, “Mom, Aunt, you should go ho now.”
“Is that what you wanted to say to ?”
“Mom, it’s not convenient to talk here; I’ll tell you so things when I get ho.”
Madam ng snorted.
ng Ke smiled again, then said, “Mom, I’m hungry; you can go ho and make sothing to eat.”
“What can you eat in your current state?” Madam ng thought of his injury and got angry.
“Uh, I can’t eat anything right now, so when can I eat?”

After everyone left, ng Ke drove out the special nursing assistant who ca in, got out of bed, and went into the bathroom with his phone.
Closing the bathroom door, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
The phone rang twice, and then Xu Wanqi’s concerned and urgent voice ca through, “Senior, I saw the news about your injury, is it very serious?”
This kind of concern, compared to Bai Xiaoxiao’s indifference to ng Ke, was simply worlds apart.
ng Ke frowned slightly and said indifferently, “It’s not too serious, just a minor injury, it’ll get better in a few days.”
“Senior, can I co to the hospital to see you?”
Xu Wanqi was really worried about ng Ke, once a woman falls in love with a man, she truly sees him as her whole world.
Seeing the news of his injury made her feel unsettled.
If ng Ke hadn’t previously instructed not to co to the hospital regardless of what happened, Xu Wanqi might have already co.
“You can’t co, you stay ho and wait.”
ng Ke couldn’t let Xu Wanqi co to the hospital; he needed Bai Xiaoxiao.
“Senior, isn’t Bai Xiaoxiao at the hospital taking care of you?”
If she were there, ng Ke wouldn’t have called her.
“She just left.”
When he said this, there was a heaviness in ng Ke’s voice.
Over the phone, Xu Wanqi could tell and said indignantly, “You got injured saving her mother, how could she leave and not stay in the hospital with you?”
ng Ke instead laughed, “She’s just temporarily leaving, she’ll be back later.”
No matter if Bai Xiaoxiao is willing or not, she will co to see him, this point, ng Ke was very sure.
This injury was not in vain.
“Senior, have the kidnappers been caught?”
“Not yet, but it’s just a matter of ti; they’ll definitely be caught.”
Upon hearing the police sirens, the kidnappers fled, but the police weren’t easy to deal with and would definitely catch them.
“It doesn’t matter if they’re caught.”
Xu Wanqi’s voice carried a hint of coldness, “Luo Rongbin and Wu Jingfang have both arrived in G City, and Luo Rongbin wrote a note to Qiao Xiuyun, along with the kidnappers’ intentional guidance, Qiao Xiuyun will definitely believe that the person who wanted to kidnap him was Wu Jingfang.”
“Wait for the news!”
ng Ke smiled, everything was within his plan.
Even if the kidnappers were caught, the person they would incriminate was Wu Jingfang.

Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao arrived at Gu Kai’s office to find only Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen, which surprised them slightly.
Mo Xiuchen stood up to greet Wen Ran, explaining in passing, “Xiaoxiao, Ah Feng asked to tell you he had sothing to do and left for a while.”
“Oh.”
Bai Xiaoxiao rely responded softly, with nothing more to say.
Wen Ran followed Mo Xiuchen to sit on the sofa, and softly asked, “Brother Lu also returned to the police station, right?”
“Yes, he went to investigate the case.”
Mo Xiuchen responded gently, glancing at Bai Xiaoxiao sitting on another sofa, casually asking, “Is ng Ke’s injury very serious?”
“Looks quite serious, his face is bruised and discolored.”
Wen Ran answered on behalf of Bai Xiaoxiao; Bai Xiaoxiao seed absorbed in her thoughts, when suddenly, her phone rang.
“It’s my mom calling.” Bai Xiaoxiao saw the caller ID, her expression changed slightly.
The eyes of those nearby showed similar expressions.
Bai Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together, tapped the answer key, “Hello, Mom.”
“Xiaoxiao, are you still in the hospital?”
“Yes, I am.”
“You should stay in the hospital today to take care of ng Ke; don’t rush to co back.”
