Chapter 273: It must be related to Ming Yu
Half an hour later, at Xing's Private Hospital.
Jiang Qianxun was holding her phone, boredly scrolling through a boring post online about how she was Misha's daughter. She went to the hospital's automatic payment machine and paid the bill for Huang Xiaoxiao. Then she took the osmanthus cake bought by driver Nie and went to the outside of Huang Xiaoxiao's ward.
The door was still half-open. Jiang Qianxun was afraid that she would hear someone talking inside again, so she took a few steps back and listened carefully to the voices inside. After making sure that it was quiet, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
She knocked twice, and finally a voice came from inside: "Come in." It was Huang Xiaoxiao's very small voice.
Jiang Qianxun breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the door open. She saw Huang Xiaoxiao wearing a blue and white hospital gown, lying on the bed with her knees bent. There was a book on her knees, but she was obviously not reading the book. Instead, she was looking at her mobile phone, and her fingers were sliding across the book.
I didn't know what she was looking at, she was so engrossed that when someone came in, she didn't even look up, and her usually gentle brows were frowned.
But even with such a frown, Huang Xiaoxiao did not look aggressive at all. And the winter sunset on the first floor just happened to shine obliquely on her, making her look gentle.
Gentle and quiet, that's probably what she is like. No wonder Mr. Xing values her so much.
Not to mention the old man, even myself, seeing that she looked unhappy, couldn't help but want to ask what happened.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Qianxun walked in, put the osmanthus cake in her hand on the table, turned around and looked at the girl on the bed worriedly.
When Huang Xiaoxiao heard the voice, she suddenly turned to look at Jiang Qianxun. A hint of surprise flashed across her face, but it quickly disappeared. At the same time, she closed the book and a smile appeared on her face.
"Chihiro, you're here?"
Jiang Qianxun did not miss her fleeting emotion. She stood there looking at Huang Xiaoxiao and the book she had closed for a moment, then walked over, holding her stomach, and asked with concern.
"Well, I'm here. I saw you were reading very seriously just now, but you were frowning. What were you reading?"
Huang Xiaoxiao pointed to the copy of Dream of the Red Chamber written in gold font on her knees and said, "It's so boring lying in bed every day, so Grandpa Xing sent me a book. I've been reading it until now. My wound is inflamed, so reading it can distract me."
This is obviously a lie.
But Jiang Qianxun knew that everyone has their own little secrets in their hearts, and she did not expose them. When she heard Huang Xiaoxiao say that her injury had worsened, her heart suddenly tightened.
"Is the wound inflamed? Has the doctor checked it? What did he say?"
Jiang Qianxun asked while secretly blaming herself in her heart.
Huang Xiaoxiao saw Jiang Qianxun's face become solemn, so she quickly forced a smile: "Don't worry, the doctor said that any wound will cause inflammation. As long as I take medicine on time, I will get better soon."
After saying that, Huang Xiaoxiao suddenly sighed: "It's just that my mother always nags in my ear, Grandpa Xing... In short, sometimes, it's a little difficult for me to have a good rest."
Wu Yu and Mr. Xing?
Thinking of these two people's attitude towards him, Jiang Qianxun felt even more guilty and almost blurted out "It's all because of me".
But somehow, her mind flashed back to what Xing Mingyu said when he was confronting Old Man Xing in this ward. She thought about it, and the words that came out of her mouth turned into something else.
"Since your family's behavior has affected your condition, do you want to ask the dean to let you rest for a few days? This way you will recover faster. Your injury is in your ribs. Although it is a linear fracture, you can't be careless. I believe your relatives and friends also hope that you will get better soon."
Huang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"That's what I meant. My mother is easy to deal with. After all, I've been missing for twenty years. She's afraid that I'll feel wronged. If I ask her, it will work. But it's a bit difficult to deal with Grandpa Xing.
He is always worried about my condition. Even if he doesn't come in person, he will send me a video. If I don't let him come to visit, he will probably blame me. Since I can't stop Grandpa Xing, how can I stop my mother? In the end, I just didn't say anything and let them do what they want. "
At the end, Huang Xiaoxiao looked somewhat helpless.
"But if you go on like this, your injury will be difficult to heal. Wounds are already difficult to heal in winter. If you delay it and let it get inflamed, it will be bad for your health in the future. You are still so young, you need to rest well." Jiang Qianxun was really worried.
"The doctor also said that wounds are difficult to heal in winter, but don't worry, it will get better." Huang Xiaoxiao put her hand on the copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" and stroked it gently. Her expression was gentle and she looked very gentle and decent.
Since the patient repeatedly said she didn't need it, Jiang Qianxun didn't say much, but took the osmanthus cakes she had brought and shared them with her.
Huang Xiaoxiao really liked osmanthus cakes. Her eyes lit up when she saw this thing and she actually reached out to take it and eat it.
Jiang Qianxun thought that Huang Xiaoxiao's wound was inflamed, so she couldn't bear to let her move. Not only did she bring it over herself, she also asked driver Nie to help ask the doctor if Huang Xiaoxiao could eat osmanthus cake, just in case.
Driver Nie went out after receiving the order, and came back quickly, but he brought a nurse with him.
Jiang Qianxun wanted to say that it didn't need to be so grand, but when she thought about the fact that she would bring soup to Huang Xiaoxiao every day, she simply pulled the nurse aside to ask what medicinal food and snacks were suitable for Huang Xiaoxiao. This way, she would show respect to Huang Xiaoxiao and be responsible to both parties.
Huang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh at her for being too cautious, but she ignored her and asked Driver Nie to write it down carefully before he personally opened the box and handed it to her.
"Okay, you can eat now. Let's see if it suits your taste."
"It smells so good, I don't need to look at it, it must be delicious!"
Huang Xiaoxiao was not polite. After picking up a piece and tasting it, she handed a piece to Jiang Qianxun.
Jiang Qianxun was greedy and didn't hesitate.
So, the two of them just sat there, eating cakes and chatting about topics that only girls would talk about, such as new popular clothes, complimenting each other on their good skin, which brand they used to use frequently, etc.
Although Huang Xiaoxiao seemed a little unhappy during the whole process, the overall atmosphere was good. Just when the two were chatting harmoniously, suddenly, the cell phone in the middle of "Dream of Red Mansions" rang.
Huang Xiaoxiao held the pastries in one hand and opened a book with the other. She glanced at the incoming call on her cell phone, paused, and then the smile on her face slowly disappeared.
She looked at her phone, then looked at Jiang Qianxun who had kept quiet in time, and hung up without answering.
Jiang Qianxun saw Huang Xiaoxiao's little action, but she didn't ask. It happened that she had finished the pastry in her mouth. She reached out and took out a tissue, carefully wiping the crumbs of osmanthus pastry on her fingertips.
Before she had finished wiping one finger, Huang Xiaoxiao suddenly received another video call on her cell phone.
Jiang Qianxun heard that Huang Xiaoxiao's WeChat video was ringing, but she didn't answer it. Instead, she turned to look at herself with a frown.
"What's wrong? Do you have a special call to answer? Then I'll step aside for now. It's getting late, and I should go home."
As he spoke, Jiang Qianxun pointed his chin at the sky outside the window which was gradually getting darker, and was about to go out.
Huang Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed her: "You don't have to avoid it, I don't want to answer it, it's...Grandpa Xing who called."
Mr. Xing?
Jiang Qianxun's smile remained unchanged, and she was even a little puzzled: "Why do you want to take it? I think Mr. Xing treats you very well."
He even just wanted Huang Xiaoxiao to be Xing Mingyu's wife.
Huang Xiaoxiao held the phone, her face showing frustration, nervousness and worry: "Because I don't want to answer Grandpa Xing's call behind your back. I'm not stupid. I saw it from the last time at the century-old store that Grandpa Xing has a deep misunderstanding of you. I don't know the specific reason.
However, no matter how Grandpa Xing sees you, or how he tries to match me up with Xing Mingyu, I still say that it is impossible for Xing Mingyu and I to be together. So, I don’t want to video chat with Grandpa Xing behind your back, so that you will misunderstand me. I don’t want there to be any estrangement between us! Even a little bit!
Qianxun! I really admire you and want to be good friends with you! It was also my subconscious action to block the knife for you and Xing Mingyu that day! You have to believe me! "
At the end of the speech, there was pleading, humility, and sincerity in Huang Xiaoxiao's eyes.
She paused, and finally added, explaining the current situation: "So, I basically don't answer Grandpa Xing's video calls. If I do, it's because I have run out of excuses."
Jiang Qianxun looked at Huang Xiaoxiao like this, and her brown sleeve that she was holding. After a moment, she stared at Huang Xiaoxiao's quiet and beautiful face.
"You don't have to keep saying this. Since you consider me a friend, I also consider you a friend. If you speak from the heart, I will believe you. So, there is no need for you to refuse to answer Mr. Xing's calls because of me."
As she spoke, Jiang Qianxun tapped her still ringing cell phone with her chin.
Huang Xiaoxiao shook her head: "It's okay, I'll tell you later, I'll just fall asleep."
As soon as the words were spoken, the video stopped.
But the next second, it rang again.
Jiang Qianxun saw that Huang Xiaoxiao still didn't answer, so she had to sit back down: "But three calls, you should have woken up even if you were asleep. Answer it."
Huang Xiaoxiao still looked embarrassed, but the phone kept ringing, and finally she picked it up.
As soon as the video was connected, the majestic yet kind face of Mr. Xing could be seen on the screen. Behind him was the small living room on the third floor of the courtyard, where Mr. Xing often drank tea.
"Xiaoxiao, why did it take you so long to answer Grandpa's call?"
In the screen, the voice of Mr. Xing was soon heard again.
Huang Xiaoxiao glanced at Jiang Qianxun and picked up the Dream of Red Mansions in her hand: "I'm reading the book given by Grandpa Xing."
"Xiaoxiao can read now? Are you feeling better? Are you in pain today?" Old Master Xing showed his concern every other sentence.
"It's just a linear fracture, it's not that serious. To use Lin Daiyu's words, 'It hurts so much'. It's just a minor injury, it's healed a lot soon, I estimate that I can be discharged from the hospital in a few days!"
On the other side of the video, Mr. Xing's wrinkled face flashed with displeasure: "You are not honest. You only report the good news and not the bad news. I heard from Dean Qi that your wound is infected for the second time. You kid, you are hiding it from your grandfather."
Huang Xiaoxiao glanced at Jiang Qianxun again and stuck out her tongue in a rare playful manner.
"I can't help it. I heard from Uncle Xing that you've been recuperating at home lately and have a cough. The doctor said that you need to stay at home and rest for a while. I can only keep this little thing a secret. What's more, it's really a small matter. The doctor didn't even perform surgery on me. He just prescribed some medicine and told me to rest and I'll be fine. If I tell everyone about it every day, I'll be being hypocritical."
"What are you saying, you are just being hypocritical! It's obvious that you don't want to make Grandpa worry! You are a child, you are obviously sensible and considerate, but you insist on labeling yourself and belittling yourself! Grandpa doesn't like you to be like this, you have to be open and generous, then others will respect you!"
On the other side of the video, while Mr. Xing was praising Huang Xiaoxiao, he also did not forget to teach her, and his eyes were full of satisfaction with Huang Xiaoxiao.
Huang Xiaoxiao responded with a smile, looking very educated.
For a while, the old and the young chatted about how to be generous. Huang Xiaoxiao was not impatient at all and was very humble. Even though she was a little absent-minded when speaking, she still had a smile on her face.
Later, when Mr. Xing asked her about her diet, medical condition and so on, she tried her best to say some good things. After talking about herself, Huang Xiaoxiao did not forget to care about Mr. Xing's health and told him to stay in a happy mood.
After the conversation, Mr. Xing was even more satisfied, and even the voice coming from the phone was full of obvious joy.
"Okay, okay! Grandpa remembers what Xiaoxiao said about eating on time and getting well soon! You explained it in more detail than your grandma Xing. It's a pity that Mingyu just refused to marry you, such a good child. Grandpa is really ashamed of you..."
