Chapter 292: It Seems He Has a New Girlfriend_1
He lay on the hospital bed, his face stern. His daughter once told him herself how she had been abandoned by her parents. Now that her relatives had come to take her away, Song Chuanqi was strictly against it. He asserted that it would be better if his daughter does not acknowledge such parents, otherwise she would only get hurt once more!
“Qiongqiong is my younger sister.”
“Who is Qiongqiong? We don’t know her.”
Xia Ye Zhao gently looked at Ye Xingguang, “She’s your daughter, Xingguang.”
Song Chuanqi, keeping his face stiff, wanted to know his daughter’s attitude, “Xingguang, is he your brother?”
Ye Xingguang stood nearby, her lips pressed tightly. She wanted to say yes, but she shook her head.
She didn’t want to entangle herself with her cruel parents anymore. She didn’t want to be Xia Qiongqiong anymore, nor did she want to be morally kidnapped by those cruel parents in the future. Hence, she also denied being related to her brother. It was enough for her to know that her brother had her in his heart.
Song Chuanqi said again, “Young man, hear this, my daughter says you’re not her brother.”
Xia Ye Zhao did not rebut. He knew how aggrieved his younger sister felt after being abandoned by their family. He didn’t expect his sister to acknowledge him right away. Right now, he just wanted to do something to make up for his family’s shortcomings towards her.
Xia Ye Zhao stopped talking. Seeing that the urine bag by the bed was almost full, he voluntarily took it to go empty it.
Seeing this, Bai Lanwu quickly said, “Leave it, leave it, I’ll do it.”
Xia Ye Zhao said, “Compared to your lifesaving and nurturing kindness towards my sister, anything I do is insignificant. Please let me do it as a way of showing filial piety on behalf of my younger sister.”
Bai Lanwu was helpless. He turned to look at his daughter. Ye Xingguang was emotionally confused and didn’t know how to respond, so she just stood by, not interfering.
After a surgical procedure, Chang Danran came out of the operating room and went to wash her hands at the wash basin.
Standing by her side and squeezing some hand wash into his palm, Bo Jingyu asked while washing his hands, “Was there something wrong with you during surgery today? Are you feeling unwell?”
Chang Danran was a little embarrassed by the blunt inquiry about her condition. She insisted, “There were no mistakes during the surgery.”
Bo Jingyu said, “Yes, there were no mistakes, but you can’t fool me. What happened?”
Chang Danran had her hands under the tap, letting the cool water wash away the disinfectant from her hands. She forced a smile, even after all these years, she realized she still couldn’t face it calmly. She was very conscious of how off she felt and how every blood vessel in her hand was on edge. After a long silence, she said, “I saw Xia Ye Zhao.”
Indeed, it was easy to see Xia Ye Zhao if one wanted to – just watch the financial news. He was a famous figure in the financial news, but viewing from afar was totally different from seeing up close. The calm surface of the lake was disturbed with waves that couldn’t settle down.
“I realized, I still can’t accept that he’s just a stranger now. Jingyu, am I really useless?”
Chang Danran’s voice was anything but indifferent.
Bo Jingyu handed her a towel to dry her hands: “Where did you see him?”
“Right in Nephrology, it seems like he has a new girlfriend.”
He was not an impulsive person, extremely restrained in public. If he could let go of that restraint in the hospital and hug a girl. Chang Danran thought, that girl must hold a special place in his heart.
Thinking about it, she felt a sense of unexplainable loss.
