Of course, this girl had said before that even if she didn’t stay with that man, she wouldn’t marry him, but who knows?
Fate is unpredictable, and Lin Yebai had already vowed that if he had the chance, he would spend his life treating her well.
However, just now, he saw that girl on the hospital bed, as pale as a corpse, and the old servant had told him that she had fainted right at the airport.
He suddenly realized he wasn’t as happy as he thought he would be; instead, he felt worse than he imagined!
Seeing him in this state!
After a while of smoking, Uncle Li noticed he was silent and asked again, "So, what should we do now? I saw the news saying their engagement is set in these two days. If we go back now, it would be an even bigger blow to Miss."
Lin Yebai was reminded and immediately said, "You’re right, we can’t let her go back, ask the doctor to extend her hospital stay for a few more days, you stay with her, and it’ll be fine after these two days."
"Alright, I’ll go now!"
After Uncle Li spoke, he went to find the doctor.
Lin Yebai saw this and crushed the cigarette in his hand on the ground, went to the window for a bit, and then returned to the ward.
The night was very still, and the air was cold. This northwest city felt colder compared to A City; it was already February, yet the wind blew in through the door, making even the legs of his pants feel cold.
Seeing this, Lin Yebai went to close the door, then came to sit quietly by this girl’s bed and began to observe her intently.
It had been six years, and he still remembered when he found her for the first time, six years ago, the way she timidly looked at him.
At that time, he was invited as an appraisal expert by an auction house, and she was there to auction jade with Ou Yuze. It was then that he recognized her eyes, the same eyes for identifying jewelry, and realized she was the one he had been looking for.
Back then, she was so innocent, at the tender age of seventeen or eighteen, like a blooming bud. Even a glance would make her heart flutter, and she had some resemblance to her mother at that age.
Her mother, Yan Xiuning, was also a very beautiful woman, exuding a kind of grand, gentle beauty.
He still remembered the way she carefully used her eyes, like a little thief, overly cautious and especially adorable. What comforted him was that she inherited their Yan Family’s talent, her eyes could also understand jade.
From that day on, he took notice of her, even moving his successful career from another city to this one for her.
Unfortunately, he discovered her too late. By the time he realized she was in trouble, she had already been framed by that woman named Yang Xueshan, who used the most notorious playboy of the Ou Family to take away her innocence.
The night he learned the truth, he was incredibly angry and hateful.
If it hadn’t been for his assistant stopping him, he might have killed those people!
Afterward, what was done could not be undone, and he finally calmed down. As events unfolded, the blame, already planted long ago, finally fell on her, and it was too late for him to save her.
Indeed, he had discovered her too late!
But fortunately, even though she was convicted and sent to prison, it wasn’t difficult for Lin Yebai to rescue someone.
