After arriving at the right floor, Xu Xiyan followed Ye Xun as they walked through the corridor.
Xu Xiyan looked around at the hospital’s environment as she walked. The hospital was an eye-opener. It was really luxurious and it felt like a star-rated hotel.
After walking for a while, they met a group of people ing from the opposite direction. There were many black-suited bodyguards surrounding a noble-looking man.
Ye Xun recognized the man. He was President Helian Wei. He immediately stepped aside to the wall and let them pass.
He had heard from his boss Nightfall that General Helian Qingyu was injured and he was also being hospitalized here. So, President Helian Wei must’ve e to see his son.
Xu Xiyan stood beside Ye Xun. She watched the group for a while before realizing something. Hey, isn’t that the President of Estan?
All this while she had only seen him in the news on TV. She didn’t expect to actually see him in person today. Wow, how lucky!
As the group passed them by, Xu Xiyan did not avert her eyes and continued to watch them. Her eyes met with President Helian Wei’s.
Their eyes met for two seconds before Xu Xiyan shifted her gaze away and left with Ye Xun.
President Helian Wei suddenly stopped in his tracks. His assistant asked him, “Mr. President, is something the matter?”
“No, it’s nothing.” President Helian Wei shook his head. He had inadvertently seen the girl standing by the wall. There was something familiar about her…but maybe he was just mistaken.
President Helian Wei turned around, trying to take another look at the girl between the shoulders of his surrounding bodyguards, but she had already walked off into the distance.
Xu Xiyan caught up with Ye Xun, asking, “Where is Mr. Huo’s ward?”
“It’s in front.” Ye Xun stopped and pointed at the ward with a blue placard on its door in front of him.
“I’m going in to see him. Are you ing with me?” Xu Xiyan asked.
“No, I’m going for a smoke outside. I’ll e back for you later.”
“Okay.”
Xu Xiyan did not give it much thought and hurried towards the ward with the blue placard. She knocked twice on the door, then pushed the door open and entered.
“Mr. H—”
Before Xu Xiyan could finish her words, she was stunned at what she saw. Huo Yunshen was not the only one in the ward. His parents were there too. Why were they here?
But e to think of it, they were Huo Yunshen’s parents. It made sense for them to e here at first word of their son’s trouble.
“Jing Xi!”
Huo Yunshen finally saw Xu Xiyan. He tried to get up in his agitation, but his mother held him down on the bed.
Seeing that Xu Xiyan was here, Chen Yunlu stood up by the bedside and glared at Xu Xiyan icily.
She knew everything and had heard everything. It was Jing Xi who her precious son had gone with for a vacation, and they’d gotten into trouble together.
After Huo Yunshen had gotten into trouble, she had apparently run off by herself. Hmph, this woman still had the audacity to stand here shamelessly?
Chen Yunlu was bursting with anger. Without a word, she strode up to Xu Xiyan and slapped her without hesitation.
Xu Xiyan was caught unprepared by the slap and her cheek was immediately streaked with red marks.
“How thick skinned can you be? You’re a cursed woman and you’ve made my son so miserable. He almost lost his life! How dare you still e here? Get out of my sight! You’re not wele here!” Chen Yunlu screamed angrily and pointed at the door, ordering Xu Xiyan to crawl back to whatever pit she had e from.
Xu Xiyan had tasted Chen Yunlu’s temper before and she didn’t want to trouble Huo Yunshen with their squabbles. She could only swallow her anger and accept her bad luck for today.
Xu Xiyan held onto her hurting cheeks. She was fighting hard to restrain her anger.
She kept telling herself in her heart to be patient. For Huo Yunshen’s sake, she must endure it no matter what.
“Mom! What are you doing? My injuries have nothing to do with Jing Xi. Don’t trouble her!”
Huo Yunshen was distressed and angry that his mother had indiscriminately slapped Xu Xiyan.
