Chapter 80: Chapter 80

Looking at Xiang Weilai, at that moment when Zhao Guodong was observing him, he had already smirked with a fake smile, and his two dimples responded to Zhao Guodong’s gaze.

Ye Ling could almost count on her fingers that Xiang Weilai was mocking Zhao Guodong for being a blockhead.

But Zhao Guodong was completely oblivious and foolishly asked, "Why are you two sitting here?"

Having sat down without saying a word, Xiang Weilai finally couldn’t help but burst out laughing. He lazily stood up, "Just felt like sitting, does there need to be a reason?"

The tone and words were clearly meant to provoke Zhao Guodong.

Ye Ling looked at Zhao Guodong again, only to see his eyes glaring, looking like a lion about to pounce and bite its prey. Compared to Xiang Weilai, Ye Ling was more on Zhao Guodong’s side and spoke up before Zhao Guodong could embarrass himself further.

"Zhao Guodong, my hand is hurt, can you take a look?" Feeling Xiang Weilai’s scrutinizing gaze, Ye Ling didn’t look at him, only fixed her eyes on Zhao Guodong.

Upon hearing the hand was injured, Zhao Guodong, like a balloon about to explode, suddenly deflated and walked over, "Where’s it hurt? How did it happen? Don’t make a fuss over a small cut."

Ye Ling turned her hand over, Zhao Guodong’s words changed, his voice suddenly getting higher, "How did this happen? Who hit you? Was it him?"

Looking around, he found that Xiang Weilai had already walked a few steps away and was about to call him back.

Ye Ling stopped him, "I accidentally fell and hurt myself."

Zhao Guodong instantly looked dejected like a beaten eggplant, took a few steps forward, and sat down on a chair, "Are your eyes on top of your head? How do you fall and get hurt ? I’ve never seen anyone as silly as you."

"Yes, it’s quite silly." Thinking about how the skin on her palms was peeled, and her mother didn’t notice, she only had her eyes on Ye Qian, yet she was still here feeling down alone.

Since it doesn’t matter anymore, what’s there to feel down about?

If this isn’t foolishness, what is it?

Zhao Guodong saw her reply and couldn’t say much more, stood up, "You wait here, I’ll find a doctor."

Without waiting for Ye Ling to call him, he had already run off, heading towards the building in the far north. Ye Ling curved her lips into a smile, even though Zhao Guodong’s way of caring was a bit different, and he always appeared somewhat awkward, at this moment the care he gave warmed Ye Ling’s heart.

Zhao Guodong returned quickly, from afar Ye Ling saw him dragging a man in a suit over. That man obviously didn’t want to be pulled, shaking off several times but Zhao Guodong caught him again, in the end, he had to let Zhao Guodong drag him to the clinic. The middle-aged man in the suit wore an impatient look, but upon seeing Ye Ling’s palms, his brows furrowed as he seriously led Ye Ling into the clinic.

After some questioning, there was disinfecting and applying medicine, but no bandaging.

"The weather is warm now, bandaging will make it heal slower. Come for medication every morning and evening." Because they were from the compound, medication here doesn’t require payment.

Ye Ling thanked him, and she and Zhao Guodong walked out one after the other. As they walked towards the second building of the family quarters, nearly reaching the first building where the Ye Family lived, Zhao Guodong couldn’t help but ask Ye Ling again how her hand got hurt.

Ye Ling gave the same answer as before, Zhao Guodong was so angry he jumped in place, "Ungrateful, if you’re bullied again, I will ignore you."

With that, Zhao Guodong angrily marched off, but after a few steps, he noticed that Ye Ling behind him hadn’t called out to him, so he stopped again. Ye Ling wondered why he stopped again. She looked up just in time to meet Zhao Guodong’s gaze as he looked back, and gave her another fierce glare, before stomping off.

Ye Ling twitched the corner of her mouth, knowing Zhao Guodong cared for her, but his way of caring was indeed peculiar. Luckily, she understood his intentions, otherwise, seeing his demeanor, someone else would’ve misunderstood long ago.

Ye Ling, although she only went to the clinic for a quick treatment, sat outside waiting for a while, so it took over forty minutes. Only after getting back and changing her shoes did she hear the door open. As soon as the door opened and she saw her parents and Ye Qian return, she was quite surprised, not expecting them back so soon.

Bai Xue entered the room cradling the younger daughter, looked up to see the table left untidy, and shouted at Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, you’re sixteen now, the family is busy, and your sister suddenly got sick. How come you don’t know to do any chores, the table is still uncleaned. What a joke people would have of your laziness? Can’t you see even a single bit of work? How did your grandma spoil you ?"

"Alright, alright, it’s just the table not being cleaned." Ye He Ping had been summoned to the hospital by a phone call from his wife, and upon arrival, he saw the checkup was done, and everyone was out, relieved to find out it was an allergy from fish.

Upon entering the house and seeing his wife scolding their eldest daughter, he knew his wife was too worried about the younger daughter, and unknowingly dragged Ye Ling into it.

Liu Zhiyuan had taken the ride back with them and went directly to his own home, which was also why Bai Xue didn’t hold back. In the hospital, when hearing the doctor say the daughter was allergic to fish, and the cause of her illness was almost confirmed as resulting from eating fish, Bai Xue wished she could find a crack to slip into, especially when the doctor scolded, saying whether or not the cause could be found, she shouldn’t eat fishy things, and questioned her if she consulted the doctor about the taboos, Bai Xue could only respond but not refute.

When she saw her husband, and he heard it was only an allergy, he couldn’t help but chide Bai Xue for making a big deal out of nothing. In front of outsiders, Bai Xue had to bear it, and now back at home, there was no need to hold back, and she vented her anger at Ye Ling.

If not for her husband being there, what Bai Xue would have said would’ve been even harsher.

Seeing her husband sides with her, Bai Xue got even more angered, "Just didn’t clean the table? This isn’t a small matter. From small things to big problems, the house is in such a mess, and all she knows is how to slack off, if I don’t scold her now, should I wait to do it later? Can it be controlled by then? Not just that, look at her hanging around the Zhao Family every evening, a girl socializing with boys daily, what are people going to say? Also, she’s tutoring them, doesn’t she look at her own state? How’s she going to face up to those families if they don’t do well on exams? Daily causing more issues, just seeing it causes me frustration."

Ye Ling waited until her mother finished, then coldly said, "Mom, you can scold me however you want, but don’t drag my grandma into it. She just passed away days ago. Aren’t you afraid she might come visit you at night?" (To be continued. If you liked this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
