Shortly after, Ye Mengyan caught up to me. She reached out and grabbed my arm, asking me nervously.
“Xiaoyun, what are you doing?”
Only then did I realize that my mind had wandered off.
Waking up from my daze, I hurriedly calmed myself down and replied to Ye Mengyan:
“Oh, I’m sorry. My eyesight isn’t great, I must have taken a wrong look.”
“The inpatient department is this way, keep going!!
“Alright!
On the way, Ye Mengyan continued to talk with Shen Yishu on the phone.
Ye Mengyan was one of those gentle little girls who, even when angry, still spoke softly.
We arrived at an ward on the third floor of the inpatient department.
1 saw an old woman lying in a hospital bed. She must be over fifty years old, but her hair was completely white, her complexion was waxen, yet her eyes were kindly and soft.
“Mom, I’ve come to see you. This is my good friend Xiaoyun!”
Ye Mengyan introduced me.
“Hello, auntie!”
1 greeted her.
“Xiaoyun… dear, sit down! You’re Mengmengs friend!”
Mother Ye was in polite and always spoke gently, despite being ill.
She even handed me an apple from her bedside table and asked Ye Mengyan to peel it for me.
“Auntie, how long have you been sick?”
Ye Mengyan was very filial. After we entered, she didn’t stop for a moment, helping to tidy up the room and wiping the table.
She also sorted out Mother Ye’s dirty laundry and changed the half-full urine bag.
She didn’t mind the mess or the effort.
Mother Ye obviously felt keenly for Ye Mengyan, and she sighed.
“I’ve had kidney disease for four or five years now. I’m so hard on Mengmeng! She’s constantly working to pay for my treatment. She’s a good girl, if it wasn’t for fear of leaving her alone, I wouldn’t even want to live.” Ye Mengyan stood to the side with tears in her eyes,
“Mom, don’t say things like that. You’re going to get better.”
“That’s right, Mengmeng! The kind person who has been paying for your education, make sure to repay them one day after you graduate! The most important thing in life is to remember the source of kindness that one has received! ”
“l know, Mom!”
After chatting with Mother Ye for a bit, I took out all the cash from my bag and stuffed it into Mother Ye’s hand.
“Auntie, I came in a hurry and didn’t bring any gifts. This money is just a small token from me, you can use it to buy some supplements!”
“Hey, how can I accept this!”
Leaving the ward, I felt a bit oppressed.
Mother Ye, despite her poverty, exuded a certain dignity! Do you think she knows that her daughter is selling her’ body for money?
“Xiaoyun, there’s no other reason I brought you here today… I just didn’t want you to misinterpret my relationship with President Gu, so I brought you along.”
I asked curiously, “Misunderstand? What misunderstanding?”
Ye Mengyan’s eyes were clear, she gave Mother Ye a look, then turned to me and smiled, “Yes, a misunderstanding!’
“Four years ago, my mother got kidney disease… Our hometown is in the countryside with no treatment facilities. I had to bring my mother to the city. As you know, I didn’t have any money on me. The treatment costs up to tens of thousands…so I found President Gu. I kneeled in front of him and cried for a long time. He pitied me, so he sent my mother to the hospital!”
Ye Mengyan’s words surprised me a bit, as I really didn’t know she had such a history with Gu Yuanzhou!
“Then why didn’t you go and find Song Yun?”
“Oh, at that time, Sister Song was pregnant and she was bedridden because of severe morning sickness. So, how could I bother her?”
“But if you are just ordinary friends, why would he buy a house for you?” Ye Mengyan laughed lightly.
“Xiaoyun, listen, I knew you would overthink it! How could President Gu possibly buy such an expensive house for someone like me?”
“But don’t you live there?”
“Actually, I’m not sure who bought the house, I only know that President Gu occasionally stays there. My mother requires dialysis once a week. So that she doesn’t have to stay at school, President Gu gave me the passcode for the house. Whenever my mom comes up from the countryside, she can stay there overnight.”
Ye Mengyan’s explanation made everything clear.
“So you and President Gu, you really have no relationship at all?”
“Of course not! How could he ever be interested in me!”
I smiled and nodded slightly.
Ye Mengyan has a boyfriend, and she has made clear her relationship with Gu Yuanzhou. It seemed I was overthinking things?
Could it really be that there’s no relationship between these two people?
After bidding Ye Mengyan farewell, I left the ward.
To my surprise, I ran into Shen Yishu.
Shen Yishu was holding a fruit basket and flowers…
“Xiao Shen, are you here to visit a patient?”
“Yes! Mengmengs mom is hospitalized here, so I came to visit!”
“Good luck! ” “Actually, I came to negotiate with Mengmeng…”
“Negotiate what?”
“Never mind, I’ll tell you next time!”
Shen Yishu’s phone rang just then. Without time to continue talking, he turned and rushed into the elevator.
I gave him an OK sign with my hand, then watched him go into the elevator.
The next morning, I went to the bank with Wenya.
“Damn, aren’t you afraid the bank security will catch you for taking things under somebody else’s name?”
Wenya whispered in my ear.
“l have a big locker deposited here, it shouldn’t cause any troubles, you wait for me outside!”
I’ve been to this bank many times and know the routine very well. It’s early in the morning, and the security guard is still having breakfast.
Identity checks are generally not required for big lockers, although there is a security check gate there, the guards won’t come at this hour.
As long as 1 don’t show any suspicious behavior, no one will suspect me.
In fact, this is all my money, so I have nothing to be guilty of.
1 calmly opened the safe deposit box like an old hand.
There were many pieces of jewelry inside…
Just as I was about to pick a few, 1 suddenly heard footsteps behind me..
