He yelled at the onlooking patients and family mbers in the ward, "Call the police, please, call the police for !"
The patients’ relatives all remained silent.
The old man had been suffering from cancer for so long, and only Mother Xu was taking care of him. Xu Xiaoya was responsible for paying the bills. Everyone had seen Xu Xiaoya many tis and had heard Mother Xu’s countless lants. Since they all understood the basic situation, no one was willing to call the police.
The younger brother shouted, "Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to hit ?"
Wan Donglin slapped him again and said coldly, "I’ve wanted to hit you, you shaless lout, for a long ti! You throw your weight around with outsiders but bully your own sister, all because you’re obsessed with money. Don’t you love acting tough? Well, today I’ll tell you: you won’t get a single cent from Mother Xu and Father Xu’s house. It all belongs to your sister. If you dare to try any funny business again, I’m afraid next ti it won’t just be two front teeth you lose... Get lost!"
As Wan Donglin let go, the younger brother imdiately staggered back. Sure enough, when he opened his mouth, he spat out two front teeth, covered in blood. Wan Donglin released his foot. The brother, sprawling on the ground, couldn’t get up right away.
"Get out! And don’t ever co to the hospital again."
The sister-in-law didn’t dare utter a word. Trembling, she helped her husband up and they turned to leave.
Finally, the ward quieted down. Mother Xu just cried while Xu Xiaoya was tearful and speechless.
Yan Xixi patted her hand, whispering, "Stay and comfort your mother. I’ve taken care of everything else. Don’t worry."
Wan Donglin sighed silently, with nothing else to say.
The two left the hospital, and Yan Xixi breathed a sigh of relief, holding his hand tightly. "Thank goodness you ca. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to handle those scoundrels. Ah, when I’m gone, I don’t know who can help Xiaoya..."
Wan Donglin laughed. "Don’t worry, Zhang Xiang will take care of her."
"Really?" Yan Xixi was overjoyed.
"Silly girl, when have I ever lied to you?"
A great weight was lifted from her mind.
"Xixi, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"Huh? Is it dinner ti already? I had such a big lunch, I’m not hungry yet..."
"What did you have for lunch?"
Yan Xixi hesitated slightly before telling the truth, "I treated Li Zhen to lunch..."
Wan Donglin was stunned. Lunch with Li Zhen? What was this all about? He asked, a half-smile on his face, "You treated Li Zhen? Why would you invite that kid?"
"Didn’t he help a lot? I had to thank him sohow. Besides, it wasn’t just him; his mother and Xiaoya were there too."
"His mother was there too? Why did she co?"
"It must have been a coincidence."
Wan Donglin was suspicious. "Coincidence? Why does it sound like a matchmaking arrangent?"
!!!
"Yan Xixi, you listen to carefully. From now on, you are not to eat with that kid again. He has ulterior motives."
Seeing his jealous expression, Yan Xixi stared at him. Her heart suddenly softened to a surprising degree. What if this man had never co into her life? Would she have eventually ended up like Cindy, relegated to the lowest rungs of society? Every turning point in her destiny was because of him. Only after he appeared did her life begin its teoric rise.
She chuckled, suddenly pressing close to his ear and whispering softly, "With Brother Donglin here, I won’t bother with other n. I only love Brother Donglin; everyone else can go cool off."
He felt elated, as if he had just drunk a powerful, revitalizing tonic.
Her hand caught his once again, their fingers intertwining with an unusual tenderness. "Brother Donglin, you have to promise one thing too..."
At this mont, he would have agreed to not just one condition, but ten thousand.
"My dear, go ahead."
"You are never allowed to look at any other woman again. You are not even allowed to et that Rina, or whoever, for als. Otherwise, I’ll get jealous."
He burst into laughter.
She tugged at his arm, whispering, "Brother Donglin, promise , please promise ."
He said seriously, "Xixi, would you believe if I said that for the past two or three years, I’ve hardly been involved with any other woman?"
Her heart blood with joy, and she almost jumped up and down.
(To be continued tomorrow.)
