When Yu Xi heard the discontent in his voice, she knew that he was angry. She gently closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke softly, "Director Yan, I'm very sorry. Today, something happened to me. It's very urgent. I didn't have the time to tell you …"
Yan Chen leaned on the sofa, tapped it lightly with one hand, and interrupted her with a frown. "What urgent matter? All I know is that I want you to come to the Li Garden, and you aren't here right now. "
At this moment, Yu Xi's heart was worrying about her mother who was lying in the emergency room. She didn't have the mood to explain herself to him. However, when she thought of his threat, her cold face revealed helplessness.
I'm really sorry, Director Yan. I didn't inform you about this in advance, but I have something very urgent that I need to attend to, so I can't rush over. Do you have anything very important? If not, I'll go back tomorrow, okay? "
Yu Xi's attitude had already been suppressed to a low level, but Yan Chen was currently not in a good mood. He was in a bad mood and wasn't prepared to let her go. "I don't want to hear any of your excuses. I want you to come over right now."
"I …" However, before he could finish his words.
"Du, du, du …" The sound of a phone being disconnected came from the other end of the line. Yu Xi frowned as she looked at the destroyed phone screen. Her bright and beautiful face was currently frozen. Her mother definitely wouldn't be able to leave here, so she didn't feel at ease.
However, Yan Chen … This kind of person wasn't someone she could casually offend. His tone on the phone was extremely dark, and Ye Zichen didn't know what kind of explosives he ate.
Thinking of how gloomy and uncertain her words were, Yu Xi had a headache as she rubbed her forehead.
"Who is it?" Suddenly, Jiang Huai's voice rang out behind her. Yu Xi jumped in shock and hurriedly turned around with her hands covering her chest. She saw Jiang Huai standing behind her. In the dusky stairwell, his expression was indistinctly discernible.
"What are you doing here?" Yu Xi glanced at him and ignored his question. She wanted to walk past him into the corridor.
However, when she passed by him, he grabbed her wrist. Yu Xi was forced to a halt. She didn't turn around, only lightly berating, "Let go!"
However, Jiang Huai clenched his fists tighter. He turned around and stared fixedly at Yu Xi, questioning her in a deep voice, "Yu Xi, do you have to be like this between us …"
Hearing Jiang Huai's words, her heart suddenly throbbed in pain. She took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Jiang Huai with a face full of anger, and her tone became sharp and fierce, "Jiang Huai, I hope that you will always remember that I'm your sister, and will forever only be your sister!"
"I want you to answer me!"
When they looked at each other up close, Yu Xi saw that Jiang Huai's eyes were red with anger. His usually handsome face was now gloomy. She couldn't help but raise her head in anger and smile instead. "Ha …" She pursed her lips into a playful smile.
"Alright, let me answer you. Besides that weak layer of sister-brother relationship, there is nothing else between you and I. There won't be, nor will there be in the future. So, don't ask these childish questions anymore. It would seem like you are very stupid! "
She tried her best to endure the tearing pain in her heart. She concealed the faint trembling in her voice well.
"Do you have to talk to me like this?" Jiang Huai's voice suddenly dropped, and he seemed to be slightly injured.
Seeing the disbelief and disappointment in Jiang Huai's eyes, it seemed as if he couldn't bear for her to say these words. She only felt as if her heart was being torn apart, yet she couldn't show it.
Thinking of her mother in the emergency room, she coldly replied in a low voice, "Things have already come to this point. What else can we do?" She took advantage of the moment when he was distracted to shake off his hand. She didn't want to waste anymore time with him, so she quickly walked back to the corridor.
Yu Xi walked back and forth anxiously as she looked at the red light that was still on in the emergency room. Her heart couldn't calm down no matter what. She remembered that Yan Chen was still waiting for her in the Li Garden.
After a long while, the red light finally went out and the door was opened. The doctor walked out tiredly and Yu Xi hurriedly went up to him. She was nervous and her voice was slightly shaky, "Doctor, how is my mother? Is she all right? "
The doctor slowly took off his mask and shook his head at her, "It's not a big problem. The patient has already left the dangerous period and can now be transferred back to the ordinary ward. The details still need further observation."
Yu Xi let out a long breath and thanked the doctor. Seeing her mother being pushed out, she quickly followed by the bedside.
Returning to the ward, only she and her unconscious mother remained. Yu Xi looked at her emaciated body lying on the bed. Her lips were pale and her face was bloodless.
Yu Xi's eyes reddened as she watched. She tried her best to hold back her tears as she kept reminding herself not to cry. She didn't have the time to be sad in this place. There were still many things she needed to do.
Jiang Huai slowly walked into the ward. He had already adjusted his emotions, and stood behind Yu Xi, looking at Yu Xi's mother, and then looked at her. After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and whispered, "Auntie, she … "How about it?"
Hearing his voice, Yu Xi didn't turn her head to look at him. Her gaze was still wandering around her mother's tightly shut eyes, but her words didn't have the slightest warmth. "You can leave. Don't appear here again. No one welcomes you here."
"Yu Xi …" Jiang Huai opened his mouth, but suddenly realized that he did not know what to say. In this current situation, any words would be useless and powerless.
"Jiang Huai, if it wasn't for your mother, we wouldn't have ended up like this." Yu Xi clenched her hands into fists, and fiercely poked her nails into her palms. The hatred in her heart could not be vented, and was about to spew out. However, the person standing behind her was Jiang Huai, and she was unable to do anything to him.
She tried to keep her voice calm, but there was a hint of uneasiness in her voice. "Go away, don't appear in front of me again, and don't call me. Like I said, I don't want to hate you, but don't force me either."
Jiang Huai looked at Yu Xi's slim but stubborn back. He unbelievably discovered that from her voice, he actually felt a trace of pleading. These words were like a heavy punch, hitting him until he was forced to retreat step by step.
Hearing the sound of the ward's door opening and closing, Yu Xi let out a deep breath into the air, as if she wanted to cleanse her chest of all the soreness. Even though her heart felt like it was being pierced by needles, she knew what she was doing.
She didn't have that much time to immerse herself in her own world. She looked at her phone and saw that it was getting late, but thinking about the gloomy tone on the phone, she had no choice but to go even if she didn't want to.
