Chapter 334: Chapter 334

Shen Bin looked at Ye Ling’s firm nod and didn’t say anything more.

The hospital room where Ye He Ping stayed had four beds, but only Ye He Ping was a patient, so the remaining three beds were perfect for the three of them to sleep in. The next day during the day, Zhao Guodong and the others came, and Xiang Weilai really brought chicken soup over. However, Ye He Ping could only start slowly consuming some liquid foods after three days, so the chicken soup was shared among Ye Ling and the others. Bai Xue had scolded Ye Ling yesterday for having an abnormal relationship with Xiang Weilai and the others, so she didn’t drink the chicken soup brought by Xiang Weilai either.

Seeing that Ye He Ping was in good condition, Shen Bin felt relieved, instructed Zhao Guodong and the others to take care, and then returned to the company. At noon, Ye Qian, having received the news, finally rushed back. Bai Xue inevitably first hugged her daughter and cried for a while. After Ye Qian reminded her several times, Bai Xue let go, and Ye Qian approached the bed.

"Dad, I’m sorry, I was unfilial, it’s only after you became so ill that I rushed back." Ye Qian’s eyes were red, but she herself looked even more haggard.

Ye He Ping’s hand was held by his youngest daughter, and he smiled, "I’m fine, but you must have just rushed back from a performance outside?"

She looked as if she hadn’t rested well.

Ye Qian smiled slightly and said softly, "As soon as I got the message from the company, I hurried back. Now that I see dad is fine, nothing else matters."

Although she didn’t directly say it, she indirectly admitted how hard she had been working. Everyone in the room could obviously understand her implication. Sun Mingjie felt a pang in his heart, and if it weren’t for the fear of being misunderstood, he would have gone over to comfort her with a couple of words.

Bai Xue started speaking, "Even if you are worried about your dad, you still have to take care of your own health. Otherwise, if something happens to your health, your dad will be heartbroken to see it."

"Mom, don’t worry, I am fine." Ye Qian smiled carefreely and thanked Ye Ling, "Sis, sorry for making you handle everything alone because of dad’s illness."

"He’s my dad too, there’s nothing to bear or not. It was just what I should do." Ye Ling was unwilling to cooperate with Ye Qian’s considerate and understanding behavior.

Her words naturally drew Bai Xue’s displeasure and Sun Mingjie’s disapproving gaze. As a result, Sun Mingjie felt someone watching him, and when he looked over, he saw Xiang Weilai staring at him with a faint smile. Although his eyes were smiling, they carried a hint of coldness.

Sun Mingjie’s heart gave a jolt, and he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, not noticing the hint of coldness that flashed at the corner of Xiang Weilai’s lips as he turned away.

Ye Qian didn’t show any change in her expression because of Ye Ling’s words and continued to smile, "I took leave from the company. I’ll take care of Dad these few days, so you can rest first, and then take over from me to care for Dad after I leave."

Without giving Ye Ling a chance to speak, she turned towards Liu Zhiyuan, "Also, thank you all for coming to see my dad."

Her gaze fell on Liu Zhiyuan. In the half-year they hadn’t seen each other, Brother Zhiyuan seemed even more steady. Ye Qian’s heart fluttered, but she quickly turned her attention back to her father, "Dad, just let me take care of you and let sister rest for a few days. Sister must have been frightened these past two days with the surgery." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

Ye Qian knew she couldn’t outmatch Ye Ling, so she wanted to send her away to not see her face. After all, their relationship had already soured, and pretending for everyone else wouldn’t stop their true feelings of disgust if they stayed together these few days.

Ye Ling also knew Ye Qian didn’t want to see her, but she couldn’t just hand over her father to her due to personal desires. Ye Ling wasn’t assured, "There are three beds in this room, no matter how tired I am, it won’t be too much. It’s the same when I come home to sleep. I can’t even sleep soundly at home when Dad is ill, so it’s better to stay here. Moreover, Dad won’t feel assured if he doesn’t see me, right, Dad?"

Looking at his eldest daughter who was acting coquettishly, Ye He Ping laughed, "Yes."

Ye Qian felt a block in her heart but followed up with her act of vying for affection, "Dad is so biased. Well then, sister can stay and endure a bit more."

The final sentence made it seem as if Ye Ling was being willful.

Ye Ling didn’t want to make things difficult while her father was ill and didn’t respond to her words. However, she understood Ye Qian’s intentions, turning to Liu Zhiyuan and the others, "It’s really troubling you all to run to the hospital for the past two days. You all won’t be eating here, it’s about time for you to leave. And there’s no need to come every day. You should take a break during this summer holiday after all. When my dad is discharged, you can come to our house. In any case, your families need your company as well."

Xiang Weilai raised his eyebrow, "Zhiyuan, let’s head back first, Ye Ling has a point."

As he said that, he winked at Ye Ling, as if to say, see how I’m cooperating with you? Ye Ling’s face heated up.

On the other side, Zhao Guodong was reluctant to leave, "You guys go, the three of us will stay a little longer."

Zhang Linong pulled him, "Let’s go, I have something to discuss with you."

Zhao Guodong looked at Zhang Linong in confusion, seeing him nod seriously before he stood up, and Wang Ping also nodded at Ye Ling and followed out. Naturally, Ye Ling was going to see them off, not caring about the stares on her back. Ye Ling happily saw everyone off, and as Xiang Weilai felt Ye Ling watching him, he turned back to exchange a look with her before leaving.

In the ward, Ye Qian wasn’t happy watching Ye Ling sending everyone away, portraying a concerned demeanor, "Dad, Mom, we sent Brother Zhiyuan and the others away like that, wasn’t it a bit inappropriate?"

"It’s fine; they came yesterday too. They’re all good kids." Ye He Ping thought his daughter didn’t know, so he didn’t overthink it.

Bai Xue was dismissive of Zhao Guodong and their group and favored Liu Zhiyuan, "There’s nothing we can do; when there’s an opportunity, just explain it to your Aunt Wu properly."

Ye He Ping looked disapprovingly at his wife, "It doesn’t matter if you explain or not, there’s no misunderstanding from anyone."

"Dad, more courtesy never offends anyone, don’t be angry." Ye Qian immediately started to soothe him.

When Ye Ling returned, she wasn’t alone; there were people from the company who came to visit, bringing the company’s concern for Ye He Ping. Bai Xue was greeting the guests, and Ye Qian was eloquent, talking about her life at the company like a sensible child. Ye Ling had already slipped outside, but not long after she stepped out, she heard a commotion from the ward side. Ye Ling’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurried back, only to see it was the room where her father was admitted. She was so scared her legs nearly gave way. Grabbing a nurse, she asked,

"What happened to my dad?"

"The family members aren’t sure what happened either. We told them not to let the patient drink anything these two days until there’s gas passage, but they gave the patient water. Now the patient is vomiting, his chest is swollen, his heart is rapidly beating, and he has already fainted." The nurse hurriedly spoke before rushing back to the ward.

Ye Ling wobbled and almost couldn’t stand steady. Fortunately, someone caught her waist from behind, steadying her body. Ye Ling turned her head to look at Shen Bin, blinking her eyes in silent tears. (To be continued. If you work, you’re welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com).
