Chapter 143 Why Help?
Chapter 143 Why Help?
He stayed with Ye Xiongming in his hospital room all night.
In the latter half of the night, Siyi only vaguely remembered that she seemed to have fallen asleep.
A nurse came in and probably gave Dad a preliminary check-up.
He hasn't woken up yet. The doctor came by and said he should wake up tomorrow. Ye Zhenghao had something to do at the police station and didn't come over all night.
When Siyi woke up the next day, she felt sore back and aching muscles, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her arms.
She fell many times while skiing there before, and her muscles were actually a bit strained. She hasn't had a proper rest since she came back these past two days, and her face is very pale right now. She's walking unsteadily.
The doctor was making his rounds as usual. Siyi was washing her face in the bathroom when she came out and saw that Ye Xiongming was already awake. She practically threw herself at him, "Daddy, Daddy, you're awake?"
Ye Xiongming was still unable to speak, probably because he had just regained consciousness and was not quite clear-headed. Siyi called him several times before he finally glanced at her, but his vision was exceptionally clouded.
The doctor, standing to the side, said to Siyi, "Ms. Ye, Mr. Ye is fine now. Remember what I said, don't let him suffer any more shocks, take good care of him, and come find me again if anything happens."
Siyi thought for a moment, then quickly caught up with him and asked, "Dr. Li, you told me yesterday that the hospital director is coming back, right? Could you please help me contact him?"
The man called Dr. Li smiled slightly and said very politely, "Miss Ye, don't worry. I've already made arrangements with the hospital director. He will definitely be back today and will come over to take a look at Mr. Ye."
Siyi thanked him repeatedly, "That's wonderful, thank you so much, Dr. Li! Thank you!"
She naturally had no idea that the most important reason why the hospital's dean personally came to help Ye Xiongming was because of a phone number Jiang Yan returned.
She thought it was the doctor at this hospital who was kind and compassionate, so she bowed deeply to the doctor at a ninety-degree angle, saying, "Dr. Li, I will remember your great kindness for the rest of my life, thank you!"
Dr. Li was quite surprised that Siyi would thank him so formally.
He really didn't know anything before, but after going back last night, he remembered that handsome face. He had seen it in the newspaper before, and that man should be Jiang Yan, right?
He thought about it and immediately went back to the hospital. He found the number on his white coat and dialed the hospital director without stopping. Sure enough, as soon as the director heard the number, he immediately agreed to fly back.
It turns out that this patient is Yan Shao's friend, and Yan Shao is so nervous, but Miss Ye seems to know nothing about it at all.
“Miss Ye, you’re really exaggerating. This wasn’t actually my idea, and the person you should thank is definitely not me.”
He naturally dared not accept such credit casually. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since you are Young Master Yan's friends, the Dean is naturally very happy to help. Actually, I really didn't know before, and your elder brother did indeed visit the Dean many times... But as you know, the Dean is a bit busy. If you had said earlier that you were Young Master Yan's friends, we wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble."
Siyi's expression froze, and she subconsciously opened her mouth, "...Dr. Li, what...what did you say?"
Seeing that she still looked blank, Dr. Li wondered if she really didn't know anything.
He pondered briefly, smiled, and didn't intend to say anything more. "Hehe, Miss Ye, I have other patients to see, so I'll be leaving now. I'll bring the hospital director with me when he arrives. You don't look too well either, so please get some rest."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Siyi stood there, lost in thought.
The doctor had clearly mentioned Jiang Yanhui, but when she asked him, he refused to say anything and made an excuse to leave.
She recalled what Ye Zhenghao had said before, and from what this Dr. Li had said, the hospital director was indeed a very busy man with an extraordinary status. Her older brother had invited him so many times, yet he had remained unmoved. Now, he was willing to treat her father. Could it be...?
Is it really because of Jiang Yan's return?
She thought back to that day. Did he feel guilty, which is why he helped her?
Suddenly, a sharp bang was heard behind me.
Siyi was startled and quickly turned around. She saw Ye Xiongming trembling as he fumbled around on the bedside table with one hand, accidentally knocking over a water glass. The glass shattered on the floor, scattering water and shards everywhere.
"father!"
Siyi rushed forward, wanting to squat down and pick up the shards, but accidentally touched her finger. After a slight sting, blood immediately seeped out.
Ye Xiongming's hand landed right on her head. With the slightest movement, Siyi felt it, looked up, and saw Ye Xiongming struggling to move his lips, as if he wanted to say something.
Siyi pressed her injured finger, stood up, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Dad, what do you want to say? Speak slowly, don't rush."
Ye Xiongming's nostrils flared incessantly; he had something to say, but getting those words out of his mouth was harder than climbing to heaven.
“…No…no him…don’t help…don’t that…Si…Si…Siyi…look for you…look for your mother…don’t be with…Jiang…Jiang……”
Siyi's heart sank slightly. Listening to Ye Xiongming's intermittent words, she understood what he meant.
She lowered her eyes, her voice filled with an unconcealed sorrow. "Dad, don't think too much. Yesterday... I'm sorry about yesterday, it was my fault. I promised you I would never have anything to do with him again, Dad, that was the last time, I promise. Please don't get agitated or angry anymore. I will find Mom too. But Dad, no matter what you heard just now, when the hospital director comes to see you tomorrow, please don't lose your temper, okay? I'm begging you, Dad, I really don't want to lose you. If you can live a good life, I'll do anything you ask."
Ye Xiongming hummed a few more times, but it was unclear what he was saying.
Siyi could probably guess that he must have overheard her conversation with the doctor and that he definitely didn't want to accept Jiang Yan's kindness.
But for him, as long as it gave him a chance to recover to half of his former self, he wouldn't refuse anyone's kindness.
She sat with Ye Xiongming for a while, and then she saw that he seemed to have fallen asleep again.
Siyi realized she was also very hungry, so she called a nurse to watch over her while she went to a small restaurant across from the hospital and ate something.
The restaurant across the street was just a small shop. It was already afternoon, and quite a few people had gathered inside. Although it wasn't very hot this time of year, it was rather stuffy.
Siyi found a quiet corner and ate her not-so-authentic Yangzhou fried rice bite by bite, but her mind was inexplicably uneasy.
She had been looking down at the food in her bowl when she suddenly felt that something was off about the atmosphere around her. It seemed that many pairs of eyes in the small restaurant were simultaneously looking in her direction.
She frowned, then looked up and finally found the root of the problem.
Yu Chengfeng is a man who can create a whirlwind wherever he goes.
Whether the wind is strong or weak depends on his mood.
He stood opposite her, smiling very politely. "Miss Ye, would you mind if I sat down?"
Siyi didn't particularly like him, but she didn't dislike him either. However, she couldn't remain indifferent to his affair with Piaoyun. Plus, she was in a bad mood, so her tone was somewhat harsh, "If I say no, will Young Master Yu leave?"
Yu Chengfeng knew that this woman was quick-witted and sharp-tongued. Not to mention himself, even Yan Hui had fallen for her sharp tongue.
She didn't seem bothered by the setback she had just received; she still maintained her elegant smile and sat down gracefully opposite her.
Siyi knew this would happen, so she didn't bother to say anything and continued eating the Yangzhou fried rice in her bowl with her head down, but she felt the gazes around her growing more intense.
Some people were already whispering among themselves, probably because someone had already recognized Yu Chengfeng.
It's worth noting that Yu Chengfeng's media exposure is not much less than Jiang Yanhui's, especially in terms of gossip.
The gazes of those people made Siyi uneasy, but Yu Chengfeng sitting openly opposite her made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Siyi took a couple more bites of rice, but finally couldn't hold back any longer. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Yu Chengfeng, "Young Master Yu, if you have something to say, just say it quickly. I'm very busy. Besides, I'm not used to being stared at like a monkey while I'm eating."
Every sentence was barbed, and the air was thick with tension.
Yu Chengfeng gave a bitter smile. He was really asking for trouble. He already had someone at home causing him headaches, and now he'd come here to get nowhere. He'd originally hoped Yan Hui would have this woman persuade his husband, but it turned out he was the one who had to find a woman…
However, considering that Yan Hui had already been in the police station for two days, and that this couldn't go on any longer, how could he, as a brother, really sit idly by?
Yu Chengfeng still smiled gently, and his tone was not aggressive at all. "Miss Ye, there's no need to be so cold to me. We've met many times before. I did come to see you today because I have something to discuss."
Siyi isn't stupid; how could she not know who the matter that would make the dignified Yu Chengfeng personally come to find her is related to?
She looked at him helplessly. "Young Master Yu, I'm not one to beat around the bush, and I don't have the energy to play word games with you right now. I just want to say that if you came to me because of Piaoyun, then I'd be happy to take the time to listen to you. If there's anything I can help with, I'm willing to help Piaoyun. If not, then forget it. I advise you not to say anything, because it's pointless for you to say anything."
