This was for the best. Ye Xiaotao didn’t want to see Leng Hao at all.
One night after school, Ye Xiaotao came back to the house in a hurry with a cell phone in her hand. A servant came up to her and said, “Young madam, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?”
“No, no. I have more important things to do now. Come with me.” Ye Xiaotao motioned for the two servants to come upstairs.
The servants were confused. They followed Ye Xiaotao and saw her open the door to Leng Mu’s room. “Help me help my father up.”
“Young madam,” the servant said in shock, “Master is unconscious now. The young master forbade us from moving him. What are you…”
“He’s not dead, just unconscious. Don’t worry, he’s my father. Do you think I’ll hurt him?”
“But…”
“No buts. I’ll tell my husband when he comes back. I’ll take all the responsibility.” Ye Xiaotao patted her small chest with her small hand.
“Alright then.” The two servants walked forward and helped Leng Mu up carefully.
Ye Xiaotao sat by the bed. She took a serious look at her phone and reached out her small hand. She followed the instructions on the phone and helped Leng Mu move his back joints.
“Young Madam, are you giving the master… a massage?”
“Yes, my friend’s cousin is a famous surgeon overseas. He said that in my father’s situation, he can’t just lie on the bed all day. Because if he stays still for too long, even if father wakes up one day, his whole body would be numb and stiff. So we should massage him often to induce blood flow. I begged my friend for a long time before she asked her cousin for these massage instruction videos. I’ll give it a try now. It’s better for us to do something than nothing, right?” Ye Xiaotao said with a smile while blinking her big eyes.
The maid looked at the girl’s big, innocent eyes and sighed, “Young madam, you are so filial to master.”
“Of course!” Ye Xiaotao smiled sweetly and then sighed, “I’ll do what I can. As for whether father will wake up or not, it’s up to him.”
The maid was about to speak when a cold and bone-chilling voice sounded in her ear, “What are you doing?”
Ye Xiaotao looked up and saw a tall figure standing by the door. Leng Hao had returned.
Leng Hao’s expression was very gloomy. His gaze swept across the faces of the three people in the room. It was as cold and sharp as a blade, and it made people shudder.
“Young master.” The two maids quickly stood up. They did not even dare to look into Leng Hao’s eyes.
“Honey, you’re back?” Ye Xiaotao said and stood up. But Leng Mu, who had lost his support, fell back onto the bed.
Ye Xiaotao looked at Leng Mu and then at Leng Hao. She was in an awkward situation. “Ha, haha… Honey, you’re back just in time. I have something to tell you…”
“What did you do to my father?” Leng Hao had one hand in his pocket and said sharply. “My father is unconscious. You can’t touch him. Don’t you know that?”
“I know. But hear me out.” Ye Xiaotao walked to Leng Hao and handed the phone to him. “Take a look for yourself. I’m doing this for father’s good…”
Leng Hao slapped the phone in her hand onto the carpet. He stared at her gloomily and mocked, “Miss Ye, normally, I would turn a blind eye to whatever you do. But please don’t touch my father in the future. He’s not your toy. Also, don’t tell me that you’re doing this for my father’s sake. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? A willful and unruly young lady like you is useless other than going to bars and going out to dance. Do you know what it means to do things for others’ sake?”
Ye Xiaotao watched as her phone broke into two halves on the carpet. Every word from the man was like a needle piercing into her eardrums. This time, he had really gone too far.
Useless?
She had many virtues!
He was blind.
Ye Xiaotao’s nose tingled. He was unappreciative of her efforts. She snorted and said, “Leng Hao, I don’t want to see you anymore!”
She left.
He had really hurt her self-esteem. Yes, she was the daughter of the Ye family. She also liked to go to bars, go shopping, and dance. But she did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. She enjoyed her youth rightfully.
She did not want to see that stinky rock anymore!
The villa’s front door shut with a loud bang. The maid watched as the young madam disappear just like that and quickly said, “Young master, you have really misunderstood young madam this time.”
Misunderstood?
Humph, he did not misunderstand her at all. In his eyes, other than the fact that she was born with the surname Ye, she did not have any good qualities. She especially liked to show off in public and seduce men.
Leng Hao entered the room. He checked his father’s expression and then reached out to cover his father with the blanket.
“Young master, Young madam really was not messing with the master. Young madam was giving him a rehabilitation massage.”
Leng Hao paused for a moment, then he frowned slightly.
The servant picked up the phone on the ground and handed it to him. “Young master, you’ll know when you look at young madam’s phone. Young madam asked her friend’s cousin to design a rehabilitation massage for the master.”
Leng Hao’s frown deepened. The word “cousin” sounded unpleasant to his ears. He pursed his thin lips tightly, left the room, and went straight into the study room.
What cousin? He’s probably some unruly person she’d encountered.
Leng Hao pulled open the curtains of the study room. His location was excellent. Standing by the window at night, he could see the lights of the entire city.
In the past, he liked standing here because he could restore peace in his heart. But now, he was very annoyed. His mind was filled with Ye Xiaotao’s small face. He felt annoyed.
“Young master, young madam is very filial. Tonight, she just came back from school and massaged the old master without even eating. Ever since young madam had entered this house, she has been telling stories to the master every day without fail. We, the servants, have all witnessed it. I believe that the master is also aware. If one day, the master wakes up, he will definitely like young madam very much.”
“Young master, it’s so dark outside. It’s not safe for young madam to walk outside alone. She didn’t bring her cell phone, you might want to…”
“Get out!” Leng Hao spat out two words.
The servants didn’t dare to say anything more. After all, they were servants. But they really liked the young madam. Usually, the young master and his sister were both busy. Though they gave the master the best life through financial support, only the young madam gave the master companionship.
The most precious thing in the world was companionship.
The servants left.
…
Leng Hao stood on the windowsill with his hands on his hips. He sneered in his heart. That girl had only been in this house for a short while, and it seemed that she had already won the love of everyone.
She really did have an attractive aura. Not only did the men stare at her, but even the women liked her.
