Chapter 349: He Followed From the Hospital Here

Ye Wanting’s eyes were filled with tears, but they didn’t fall.

She was timid, but after years of struggle, timidity simply wasn’t enough to shoulder the burdens.

She wiped her tears away and placed the bowl of spilled soup back on the tray, “I’ll go get everyone a new bowl.”

Loo Jinyang watched the girl’s retreating figure and stroked his chin, “Quite strong.”

Ye Wanting returned the soup to the kitchen, where the head chef berated her and even said they would dock it from her pay.

She didn’t dare to say anything.

After she served the soup, she received a call from the hospital.

“Someone came today, claiming to be your brother.

He said he’d transfer your mother to another hospital and had all the medical fees refunded.

Now we can’t find him; you should come to the hospital immediately.”

Ye Wanting felt a tightness in her chest, “Why did you refund the medical fees to him?

Why didn’t you call me in advance?”

“We did, but you didn’t answer.

Moreover, he had an ID card, and your mother confirmed that he is her son; we couldn’t stop him.”

Ye Wanting’s head buzzed, and she rushed out with a pale face.

Madam Ye had been in a private room, but now she was placed on a single bed in the corridor.

The nurse, seeing her as just a young girl and in a tough spot, advised, “Find your brother quickly and pay the medical fees.”

She couldn’t take it all in and kept calling her brother.

He either didn’t answer or hung up on her, driving her to utter desperation.

Suddenly, a person sprang to mind.

“Dad, right, I still have Dad.

I’ll go to him for help…”

Ye Wanting didn’t take a cab but ran to the Song family’s house.

The guard at the villa gate closed it as soon as he saw her.

She called her dad, but there was no answer, so she knelt at the gate.

The sky suddenly began to pour rain, with large droplets making it increasingly hard to see the screen in her urgency.

Loo Jinyang stretched his hand out the window to catch some rain, only to recoil from the cold, “Whoa, this rain is even heavier than the day Yiping went to ask for money.”

Yaen Chi sat in the car, a cigarette in hand that he had barely smoked, as the cool breeze filled the vehicle, making his hands and neck cold.

He had followed her from the hospital to here.

The girl’s slender figure knelt in the rain; the people inside didn’t even offer an umbrella.

He clearly saw movement inside the villa, with people standing behind several windows, but they closed the shutters after a mere glance outside.

He picked up his phone and called Nan Jiaojiao.

“Jiaojiao, there’s a favor I need to ask of you, can you come over?”

After hanging up, he asked, “What’s the deal with this Song family?”

Loo Jinyang replied, “I’ll check.”

Nan Jiaojiao received the call while she was in the school library, purely whiling away the time.

She had finished all the college coursework early, but her grandfather insisted she complete the four-year experience to fully embrace college life.

She complied: attending necessary classes and submitting assignments.

She had flipped through most of the library’s books.

After the call, she hailed a cab to the Song family’s house.

From a distance, she saw Ye Wanting kneeling.

Nan Jiaojiao held an umbrella, lifting it over Ye Wanting’s head, the rain pushed aside.

Ye Wanting looked up to meet Nan Jiaojiao’s cold face.

“Who are you begging?”

“Jiaojiao…” Ye Wanting was so cold she could hardly speak, her body trembling.

She had sent her dad many text messages, which towards the end didn’t even form proper sentences, littered with misplaced punctuation marks.

Nan Jiaojiao crouched down, tilted the umbrella to one side to show Ye Wanting the luxurious villa of the Song family.

She said coldly, “See that?

Do the people inside care whether you live or die?

No matter how long you kneel, it’s useless.

Instead of wasting time here, you’d be better off catching your brother.”
