Chapter 1930: Chapter 1929: Will You Take Care of Her for a Lifetime?
Bai Xiaoxiao’s mind was filled with the image of Qiao Siyi’s delicate and beautiful face.
She could hear Qiao Siyi’s gentle yet firm voice echoing in her ears.
Suddenly, she felt very sad for Qiao Siyi, who, in her beautiful years, was about to lose a leg.
“Xiaoxiao?”
Wen Ran noticed Bai Xiaoxiao’s pale face and dazed expression, and knew that Xiao Yuting must have told her about Qiao Siyi’s situation.
In such circumstances, Wen Ran couldn’t stop it.
She just looked at Bai Xiaoxiao with concern.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s lowered gaze slowly rose to look at Wen Ran, and she said softly, “Ranran, Xiao Yuting said over the phone that Qiao Siyi might not be able to keep her leg and needs amputation.”
Wen Ran’s expression changed and a hint of worry appeared in her watery eyes, “What else did Xiao Yuting tell you?”
“Xiao Yuting said that Qiao Siyi ended up like this because of Luo Haofeng.”
Bai Xiaoxiao tugged at the corners of her lips, a bitter smile appearing on her lips.
Seeing Wen Ran’s eyes tighten, she continued, “He asked me to persuade Luo Haofeng to be responsible for Qiao Siyi, and also said that Qiao Siyi is unwilling to amputate her leg, which could endanger her life. Ranran, do you know about this?”
“Xiaoxiao, are you really going to push Luo Haofeng to Qiao Siyi?”
Instead of answering, Wen Ran asked Bai Xiaoxiao,
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion and said blankly, “Ranran, how could it be pushing Luo Haofeng to Qiao Siyi? I’ve already broken up with him, and if I can’t let go of those grudges for the rest of my life, what right do I have to make him keep waiting for me?”
As she spoke, a trace of sadness passed through Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes.
Everyone around her advised her, but she just couldn’t get over it.
Even now, she knew deep down that she loved that man deeply, but as soon as she thought of his mother, she couldn’t face him, let alone be with him.
Wen Ran looked at Bai Xiaoxiao with concern and reached out to hold her hand, “Xiaoxiao, if that’s the case, then don’t worry about Luo Haofeng and Qiao Siyi’s matter.”
“I couldn’t intervene even if I wanted to.”
Bai Xiaoxiao said with a self-mocking smile; she had neither the right nor the position.
“Is Luo Haofeng really not seriously injured?”
After a few seconds of silence, Bai Xiaoxiao asked stiffly.
Since Qiao Siyi had to have a leg amputated, how could Luo Haofeng be lightly injured?
“He needs to recuperate for two to three months, but compared to Qiao Siyi, he’s not too serious. The reason Qiao Siyi’s leg needs amputation seems to be because the snake that bit her was poisonous, and she was injured when she fell off the cliff. They were trapped at the bottom of the cliff for nearly a night, causing infection.”
At this point, Wen Ran couldn’t deceive Bai Xiaoxiao anymore and had to tell her the truth.
Bai Xiaoxiao listened quietly, her facial expressions subtle, and for a moment, Wen Ran couldn’t tell what was on her mind as she lowered her eyes.
She didn’t know how to console Bai Xiaoxiao, as she was unaware of Qiao Siyi’s current attitude.
And it was a fact that Qiao Siyi did it for Luo Haofeng.
It was heard that Qiao Siyi’s family hadn’t arrived yet, but if her family came and insisted that Luo Haofeng be responsible, would Luo Haofeng be willing to take responsibility?
She didn’t know.
Wen Ran’s guess was correct to an extent.
When Qiao Siyi’s mother arrived at the hospital and saw her daughter’s desperate and hollow eyes, and heard that she fell off the cliff because of Luo Haofeng,
Mother Qiao immediately rushed into Luo Haofeng’s ward.
Mo Xiuchen and Qin Mu happened to be absent from the ward, sitting by the bedside was Gu Yan, who had come to visit Luo Haofeng.
Luo Haofeng was consulting Gu Yan about whether Qiao Siyi’s leg must be amputated.
Upon seeing Mother Qiao storming in, a trace of astonishment flashed across Luo Haofeng’s face. Mother Qiao aggressively asked, “Are you Luo Haofeng?”
Gu Yan immediately stood up from the edge of the bed, calmed Mother Qiao, and said peacefully, “Mrs. Qiao, please calm down and let’s have a good talk.”
Mother Qiao recognized Gu Yan; she had seen him in the attending physician’s office earlier and knew he was a famous doctor.
For the sake of her daughter’s leg, Mother Qiao suppressed her anger and gave Gu Yan some face, calming down slightly, but her gaze towards Luo Haofeng was unfriendly, “Luo Haofeng, my daughter ended up like this because of you, do you think you should take responsibility for her?”
Luo Haofeng did not answer but looked silently at Mother Qiao.
Mother Qiao’s tough image was a stark contrast to Qiao Siyi’s gentle and ladylike demeanor, and he couldn’t adapt to it for a moment.
“Mrs. Qiao, Ah Feng has already talked to Miss Qiao…”
“Doctor Gu, please don’t speak for him. My daughter is only in her twenties. If she loses a leg now and becomes disabled, how will any man want her for the rest of her life?”
Mother Qiao spoke with deep sorrow, “I only have one daughter. She is unwilling to amputate her leg now, saying she would rather die than become disabled.”
As she said this, the anger in Mother Qiao’s eyes when she looked at Luo Haofeng intensified, “Luo Haofeng, if you’re a man, you’ll take responsibility for my daughter. If anything happens to her, I won’t let you off even at the cost of my life.”
“Aunt Qiao, could you please calm down and let me say a few words?”
Luo Haofeng steadied himself and spoke in a gentle tone.
“Only answer me, will you take responsibility for my daughter?”
Mother Qiao pressed on aggressively.
Luo Haofeng raised his hand to his forehead with a slight headache, trying to keep calm, “Aunt, I will certainly persuade Siyi to agree to the surgery.”
“Who asked you to persuade her to agree to the surgery? If she has the surgery and is left with only one leg, will you take care of her for the rest of her life?”
“…”
Luo Haofeng’s brief hesitation appeared to Mother Qiao as ungrateful and heartless. Her anger flared up, “I knew you were an unfeeling person. Despite my daughter Siyi’s deep affection for you, she’s willing to risk her own life for you.”
Mother Qiao took a heavy breath and said angrily, “If you’re not taking responsibility, then I’ll go tell the reporters about the real you, Luo Haofeng.”
After saying this, she turned to rush out.
Gu Yan saw this and his expression changed. He quickly stepped forward to stop Mother Qiao.
His tall figure blocked the door, “Mrs. Qiao, please don’t act rashly. Ah Feng is not an unfeeling person and won’t ignore Miss Qiao.”
Mother Qiao looked at Gu Yan blocking her way, her expression changed several times, then she turned to look at Luo Haofeng on the hospital bed, “I’ll give you one night to think about it. If you can’t give me a satisfactory answer by tomorrow morning, I’ll make sure the whole world knows about this.”
In this internet age, Mother Qiao did not believe that there was no one to stand up for her daughter.
Public opinion naturally sympathizes with the weak. Seeing her daughter, who became like this because of Luo Haofeng, she couldn’t watch her daughter lead a lonely life as a disabled person. For her daughter’s happiness, she had to make Luo Haofeng marry her daughter no matter what.
With a firm decision in her heart, Mother Qiao’s anger gradually subsided.
