Ye Yulan and Xia Zhengang were the only ones left in the ward. Xia Zhengang looked at Ye Yulan. "You Ran, your father has let you down!" It's all Daddy's fault! "Father was completely befuddled back then …"
"This matter has already passed," Ye Yulan interrupted Xia Zhengang. "You don't have to apologize to me anymore. On the contrary, I am the one who should apologize to you because I brought the whole matter to light and implicated you in it."
"You Ran, dad regrets that I had to marry Liu Shufen after receiving the report. Actually, I've always only had your mother in my heart …"
"Alright, Secretary Xia!" Ye Yulan interrupted Xia Zhengang once again. "I've already received your apology. You didn't do anything wrong. Everyone is selfish. Everyone has their own plans. You did nothing wrong for their own future. I don't blame you."
Xia Zhengang's face was flushed red. Ye You Ran didn't even look at him. His voice was calm as he continued, "Let's talk about how we're going to deal with this later!"
"You Ran, do you have a way to suppress the negative effects?" Xia Zhengang stared at his daughter in disbelief.
"When did I say I would suppress the negative effects?" Ye You Ran retorted, "The matter of your daughter Miss Xia Fei Fei and Mu Jin Yang cheating on their fiancée was the truth. I will not do anything for her, everyone will pay the price for their actions. She acted as though she was shameless and wanted to seduce Mu Jin Yang, so she should bear the consequences for Xiao San."
"Then what do you mean?"
"What I want to say is about you and me. I gave you a lot of trouble when we returned to the Xia clan, it seems that my appearance here was a disaster for you, affecting your reputation and also your career. So I decided that we should return to the past, returning to the bridge is better for everyone."
Xia Zhengang stared at Ye You Ran in shock. "You Ran, father has never thought about it like this!"
"I don't know if you think so, but I'm going to do it now."
"Enough!" Xia Zhengang coughed violently, clutching his chest.
"Old Xia, what's wrong?" Liu Shufen heard Xia Zhengang coughing and pushed open the door to the ward. She held Xia Zhengang's body as she patted his back.
Xia Zhengang coughed violently as he grabbed a handkerchief from his pocket to cover his mouth. Ye Yulan was shocked to see red blood on the handkerchief.
"Old Xia, you vomited blood!?" Someone come quickly! " Liu Shufen let out a hoarse scream for help.
"Dad, please don't let anything happen to you!" Xia Feifei also rushed in from the outside and shouted loudly.
Ye Yulan stood there in a daze. Xia Zhengang had always been in good health, when did he become so sick? He actually spat out blood?
A nurse followed him into the ward. Ye You Ran left. She saw Qin Zifei in the corridor outside the ward. "How is your father?"
"I spat out blood again just now!" Ye Yulan answered.
"How could that be?" Qin Zifei was stunned.
"Yeah, how could that be?" Ye You Ran couldn't believe it. The door opened and Xia Fei Fei rushed out.
"Ye You Ran, I admit that it's not right to let the reporters secretly take pictures of you, but you can't attack me like this no matter what. Where are you going to put Dad's face? Father does have the status … "
"Fei Fei!" Liu Shufen came out to stop her daughter, "You Ran, don't argue with Fei Fei. She only kept her mouth shut when she saw Old Xia vomiting blood and becoming anxious. Fei Fei is actually not that bad!"
Ye Yulan was blaming himself for forgetting that Xia Zhengang was a patient.
"Ye You Ran, I know you hate us, father and daughter," seeing that she didn't say anything, Xia Fei Fei continued, "You can't hate us, even father can you? No matter what, he is your biological father, how could you do this to him? "
"Alright, Fei Fei!" Liu Shufen stopped her daughter from questioning, "Ye Yulan, the person who let down your mother and you is me. It has nothing to do with your father, and it has nothing to do with Fei Fei. Your father, he really loves you! "
Ye Yulan didn't say anything. Her mind was in a mess. To be fair, Xia Zhengang hadn't been bad to her, so there was no need for her to hold a grudge.
After all, she was long past the age where she needed maintenance and care, so she might as well forget about the past. Just as she thought about this, a familiar voice sounded, "How is Secretary Xia?"
Ye You Ran raised his head and saw Xia Fei Fei running into Mu Jin Yang's embrace, crying like a little bird. "Jin Yang, why did you just arrive? My dad vomited blood …"
Ye You Ran frowned. It seemed that Xia Fei Fei didn't learn how to perform, but her acting skills were far beyond the reach of the other students. A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Qin Zifei's mouth as he whispered into Ye You Ran's ear, "This little sister of yours is really amazing!"
Ye You Ran replied with a smile. "You just found out?"
Mu Jin Yang comforted Xia Fei Fei and then looked towards Ye You Ran and Qing Zi. When he saw them whispering to each other, his expression became unsightly. I'll go over there and take a look, and then I'll come back and find you. " After Qin Zifei finished his sentence, he glanced at Mu Jinyang and left in big strides.
The doctor who had entered the ward to rescue them finally left. Ye You Ran stood outside and did not move as the mother and mother, Xia Fei Fei and Liu Shufen, and Mu Jinyang went to visit Xia Zhengang.
The sound of footsteps came from behind. Qin Zifei had returned and was whispering something to Ye Yulan. Ye Yulan's eyes were wide open as he asked, "Really?"
"Can I lie to you?"
Mu Jin Yang then walked out of the room and looked at Ye You Ran and Qin Zi Fei. He then said to Ye You Ran, "I'm going to buy food. What are you going to eat?"
"No need, I'll leave immediately!" Ye Yulan answered indifferently.
Mu Jin Yang was stunned. He didn't expect Ye You Ran to say that her father was sick in the ward. As his daughter, he couldn't just leave, could he? However, thinking about how her health wasn't too good, he finally didn't say anything.
Ye You Ran looked at Qin Zifei. "Wait for me outside for a few minutes. I'll have a word with Secretary Xia and you'll be right out."
After speaking, she pushed open the door and walked in. Upon seeing her, Xia Zhengang gave her a weak smile. "You Ran, I'm fine."
Ye You Ran ignored him and looked at Liu Shufen and Xia Fei Fei. "You two leave. I have a few words to say to Secretary Xia."
Her voice was cold and distant, her face expressionless. Liu Shufen glanced at her and then glanced at Xia Zhengang. "Your father is in bad health. Please don't provoke him …"
"I say, can you guys go out?"
"You can leave!" The mother and daughter duo finally left under Xia Zhengang's instruction.
The mother and daughter closed the door sensibly after they left the room. Ye You Ran looked at Xia Zhengang lying on the bed with a cold smile on his face. "Secretary Xia, there's no need to pretend. I know you're not sick!"
Xia Zhengang blanked out for a moment before an awkward expression appeared on his face. "You Ran, I'm sorry. Please listen to father's explanation!"
"Speak!"
"Dad pretended to be sick not to lie to you, but this time he met with some trouble, and wanted to hide for a period of time. This just so happened to be the case for Fei Fei and you, so …"
Ye Yulan couldn't help but laugh. This was her father. When she heard that he was sick and was in such a rush, she immediately rushed over. However, he was pretending to be sick.
She was unspeakably disappointed in her heart. If it wasn't for Qin Zifei, she would definitely be in the dark and would definitely feel guilty. She might even think of ways to make up for it.
"Secretary Xia, if I don't find out whether you've been lying to me all this time, are you hoping that I'll compensate your mistress for her guilt?"
"No, You Ran, you've misunderstood. Father never wanted you to compensate him. This time, Father was forced to …"
"I only want to ask you this, do you know the mother and daughter pair that you pretended to be sick with?" Ye You Ran asked coldly.
"I don't know."
As expected of Xia Zhengang, as expected of a government official. Ye Yulan looked at him mockingly, not knowing what to say.
"You Ran, your father knows you're blaming your father, and even hating him. However, there are many things that your father is forced to do. In your father's heart, only you and your mother …"
"Secretary Xia, you have forgotten too much, my mother has been dead for more than 10 years! She's long gone from your heart. " Ye You Ran cut him off, ignoring the awkward expression on Xia Zhengang's face.
"Since there is nothing wrong with your body, then I will leave first. I don't have time to act with you here, because I'm still sick myself!"
With that, she turned and left.
"Calm down!" Xia Zhengang's voice called out to him from behind, but Ye You Ran ignored it. He felt disgusted, really disgusted. How could she have such a father? If she had a choice in life, she really didn't want such a shameless father. But she had no choice.
Ye Yulan remained silent after they left the hospital. Qin Zifei kept peeking at her and finally couldn't help but ask, "Did you and your father quarrel?"
Ye You Ran humphed.
"I... I didn't mean to tell you this. I was just afraid you'd worry. "
"How do you know he's feigning illness?"
"I guessed." Qin Zifei answered.
"You dared to make me question you even after guessing?" Ye You Ran was speechless. If Xia Zhengang hadn't been faking his illness, her question would have hurt his heart.
Actually, it's like this. Recently, the officials have been very strict in their investigation, and even the secretaries have been quarantined. Your father is not going to a meeting this time, but is under investigation, and a lot of people are involved this time.
"How do you know all this?"
"My grandfather's old friend is up there." "Yes," Qin Zifei answered. "So grandpa notified me in advance about this matter. Your father's reputation as an official is pretty good, so someone has to protect him."
Ye You Ran sniggered. She was really speechless towards Xia Zhengang. She was really angry. Qin Zifei comforted her, "The officials are all like that. You don't have to worry about it."
Ye You Ran didn't say anything. He just tried his best not to think about it.
"Oh right, what do you think about this matter? How could someone expose the scandal between Xia Feifei and Mu Jinyang at such a crucial moment? Was it your Xia Secretary's rival, or that Little San and his daughter? "
"I don't think Little San and his daughter did it. Although they wanted to deal with me, but they didn't need to be so stupid as to disgrace themselves and humiliate Xia Zhengang. After all, both of them suffered losses." Ye Yulan pondered for a moment.
"I think this person must be Xia Zhengang's competitor."
"Your analysis is very reasonable, but you should have heard of an idiom, right?"
"What?"
"Throw him to the ground and live!" Qin Zifei answered.
"Although the fact that Xia Feifei was exposed as a mistress was detrimental to her reputation, from another perspective, it immediately made her the victim. She was on the same side as Mu Jinyang and his mother, and would sympathize with them.
Even if I beat you to death, she wouldn't have a good impression of you, and there's also Mu Jinyang, whose shameful incident was exposed in broad daylight, he wouldn't feel well, and would definitely alienate you. Of course, there's another aspect to it, and that is that they didn't do this just to win Mu Jinyang's sympathy, but to make Xia Zhengang think that you were the one controlling everything, and that you didn't care about the bigger picture. If Xia Zhengang hates you because of this … "
"Is that true?" Ye You Ran couldn't believe it. "How could they be so scheming?"
"I guessed it!" The son of Qin laughed.
