Chapter 52 Only when you're dead will you stop blocking the way



Chapter 52 Only when you're dead will you stop blocking the way

Xiao Jingchen took a deep breath, suppressing the irritation in his heart.

That stupid woman, all she does is cause trouble.

"Brother Xiao, you said last time that you would take responsibility for me."

Ye Chuchu nestled in Xiao Jingchen's arms, her delicately made-up face filled with sorrow, tears welling in her eyes as if they would fall at any moment.

“But now my sister is your wife in name only. I know I should be more sensible, but I…”

Ye Chuchu bit her lip, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Brother Xiao, I want to be with you openly and honestly."

A charming voice rang in his ears, but Xiao Jingchen found it inexplicably noisy.

He hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"The old man is currently in a coma, so I can't get a divorce yet."

"Let's wait until the old man wakes up before discussing anything else."

Ye Chuchu nestled into his warm embrace, a tear rolling down her cheek.

"Brother Xiao, I'll do whatever you say."

As Ye Chuchu spoke, she reached out and touched Xiao Jingchen's chest, trying to unbutton his shirt.

Unexpectedly, the man grabbed her hand.

"I'm going to the hospital to see the old man."

Xiao Jingchen stood up expressionlessly, not even sparing a glance at the woman on the sofa.

Hearing him leave, Ye Chuchu's pitiful eyes instantly turned sinister.

Xiao Jingchen rejected her again!

After a pause, Ye Chuchu suppressed her dissatisfaction and turned her concern to another matter.

Old Master Xiao was lucid that day. If he had really woken up, wouldn't what she did have been exposed?

Ye Chuchu gritted her teeth.

That troublesome old man, it seems only death will stop him from blocking her way!

Meanwhile, Lin Ran arrived at the hospital.

Although she would prefer to rest at home, given the current situation in the villa, she might as well come here instead of staying.

"Lin Ran? Is that you?"

A clear voice rang out behind her, and Lin Ran turned around in surprise to see Xiao Yunsi.

"What a coincidence, are you here to see Grandpa?"

Thinking about what had just happened, Lin Ran blinked a little embarrassedly, but Xiao Yunsi acted as if nothing had happened, and his calm demeanor made her feel even more embarrassed.

"I came to see my mother."

In a moment, Lin Ran made up her mind.

Since Xiao Yunsi doesn't mind, it would be pointless for her to be coy.

"I'm really sorry about what happened this afternoon. I even caused you and your brother to argue."

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Ran finally spoke.

Although it wasn't her intention, she was the one who caused this, so it's only right that she apologize.

Xiao Yunsi was stunned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and then he suddenly smiled a few seconds later.

"It's alright, and besides, it's not your fault."

After a pause, Xiao Yunsi tilted his head, his tone now tinged with worry.

"But you, instead of resting at home, you're back at the hospital so soon."

"You need to take care of your health, okay?"

Lin Ran was taken aback and lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

These words filled a certain part of my heart, filling me with warmth.

"I'm not that weak."

"Hmm, even strong people need to take care of themselves."

Xiao Yunsi did not refute, and followed Lin Ran to Lin Qing's ward.

Before the two could even reach the ward, the door was suddenly pushed open, and several nurses pushed the woman on the bed and ran.

Following behind them was Lin Qing's attending physician.

Lin Ran froze for two seconds, feeling as if her heart had been gripped by a giant hand, making it hard to breathe.

"Lin Ran? You've come at the right time. The patient's condition is extremely critical and requires emergency surgery."

"Danger... but she was perfectly fine when I left today."

Lin Ran trembled and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Xiao Yunsi caught her from behind.

"Don't worry, your aunt will be alright."

Lin Ran instinctively grabbed his hand, a rare vulnerability appearing in her eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go with you."

Xiao Yunsi's voice remained gentle, calming Lin Ran's frantically beating heart.

She nodded and sat down outside the operating room.

Not long after, the operating room door was suddenly opened, and the attending physician walked out.

How is my mother?

"The surgery is in progress. Go and pay the surgery fee now."

The doctor spoke in a cold tone and then returned to the operating room.

Lin Ran didn't have time to think much and turned around to run downstairs.

"Lin Qing, right? The surgery fee is 100,000 yuan. Swipe your card."

"How much... how much?"

Upon hearing this number, a hint of despair appeared in Lin Ran's eyes.

She was only thinking about getting here quickly, but she forgot that she had no money on her at all.

Let alone 100,000, they can hardly even come up with 10,000 yuan.

"Can I...?"

"Why are you here to pay if you don't have money? Hurry up and leave, there are so many people behind you."

The nurse who was collecting money had been there for so long, she could guess what Lin Ran wanted to say right away.

She even took a moment to glance at Lin Ran's clothes, and her disdain deepened when she saw that they were unbranded.

The people queuing behind them also started urging them on.

"Hey, are you going to pay or not? If not, then get out of here! What are you doing blocking the way?"

"Exactly, can you afford to compensate for the delays?"

Lin Ran bit her lip, her eyes filled with despair.

She's so useless; she can't even afford her own mother's surgery.

"Swipe this card."

"Send 300,000, and save the remaining 200,000 for later."

Just as Lin Ran was about to leave, Xiao Yunsi followed her over without her noticing, and handed her a card with his slender fingers.

"Yes, sir, I'll deposit it for you right away."

The nurse could tell at a glance that Xiao Yunsi was no ordinary person, and her attitude was much better than before.

"Don't worry, your aunt's surgery is the priority."

After the money was paid, Lin Ran was taken to the operating room by Xiao Yunsi.

It took a while for my trembling fingertips to calm down.

"Thank you, Xiao Yunsi, I will pay you back."

Lin Ran did not intend to refuse, and after hesitating for a while, she expressed her gratitude.

"Don't overthink it."

Xiao Yunsi seemed somewhat helpless, sighed, and looked at the woman in front of him whose face was still a little pale.

"I know you're strong, but we're friends, right?"

"Since we're friends, you must tell me if there's anything you can't solve."

Xiao Yunsi's voice was like a warm current, slowly flowing into Lin Ran's heart.

"Thank you. I..."

"Ah……"

Xiao Yunsi couldn't help but chuckle, looking at Lin Ran's dazed expression, he couldn't hide the smile on his lips.

"Alright, alright, there's no end to how much I can thank you, so please don't be so polite with me."
