Chapter 264: 264, you can’t talk nonsense.
In the room, Mo Yaoxiong was sitting there looking at his mobile phone when the doorwas suddenly “bang” and opened, startling him.
Seeing that it was Mo Weiyi who came in, his face darkened, “Weiyi, why didn’t you knock before coming in?”
“Dad, are you alright?” Mo Weiyi leaned on a crutch, her face full of worry.
“I’m fine.”
Mo Yaoxiong had a bandage on his forehead, it seemed that he was slightly scraped, not serious.
Mo Weiyi inspected him all over, finally releasing a breath of relief, sat on the couch, “What happened in the end? What were you doing with your aunt? Why were you hurt?”
Mo Yaoxiong explained, “Today, I had to go to Shootie Road for some work. Your aunt had class in the afternoon, so I drove her to Wellington Primary School. When we got out of the car, a taxi suddenly rushed over. Your aunt got hurt trying to push me out of the way.”
“My aunt pushed you away?” Mo Weiyi furrowed her delicate brows,” But how did the doctor say, you both were hurt in the car? If she sat in the back, how could she push you?”
Mo Yaoxiong was stunned.
“Dad?”
“Oh.” Mo Yaoxiong coughed lightly, “It was in the car, as I just mentioned, it was in the car.”
“In the car?” Mo Weiyi tilted her head, “Then how did she push you?”
Mo Yaoxiong clenched his hand, “The situation was very urgent then, I didn’t really notice.”
“Is it?” Mo Weiyi looked at him suspiciously.
Something seemed strange.
“Where is Yebai?” Mo Yaoxiong suddenly asked.
Mentioning Xiao Yebai, Mo Weiyi immediately replied, “Xiaobai said he had a dinner tonight, he will be late. I told him to come straight here.”
Mo Yaoxiong nodded, then asked, “How did you explain the situation on the forum?”
“What happened?” Mo Weiyi didn’t expect him to ask this, she pouted slightly, feeling a bit guilty, “I was just bored at home alone, so I ran to Haicheng to find Xiaobai.”
As expected.
“Your foot is not yet healed, can you stop running around?”
Mo Yaoxiong reprimanded, “And Yebai was in Haicheng to negotiate with a local real estate developer. The branch had some issues and there might be danger if negotiations don’t go well. What if something happened because you suddenly ran over? When will you finally become aware of things and stop bringing him trouble?”
“When did I cause trouble?” Mo Weiyi felt wronged.
It was just that, suddenly having a stomachache in the night, caused a trip to the hospital, other than that, everything went smoothly.
“As a wife, you should stop thinking about sticking to your husband all day long, how many times have I told you this? Yebai is the president of the company now, many decisions wait for him every day, thousands of people in the company depend on him…
“Enough, enough.” Mo Weiyi couldn’t help but interrupt him, “Aren’t you tired of preaching? You nag even more than grandpa.”
Mo Yaoxiong: “…”
After a while, he said, “Tomorrow is a holiday, tell Yebai to come to the hospital to visit your aunt in the morning.”
“Hmm.” Mo Weiyi nodded impatiently.
**
The next day was the Mid – Autumn Festival.
A day that symbolizes reunion for Chinese people.
In the morning, after Mo Weiyi got up, she and Xiao Yebai went to the hospital.
Not Nangong Hospital, but another private hospital.
Mo Weiyi didn’t think too much about it.
Even though all these years, the Mo family had always been loyal customers of Nangong Hospital.
When they got there, Mo Yaoxiong’s car had also arrived.
The three of them came to the ward, seeing that the room was empty, Mo Weiyi asked, “Where is my aunt, Yunyao?”
Xu Jing chuckled, “She went home with her boyfriend yesterday.”
Although she was injured, she still looked quite well.
“Isn’t her boyfriend not from Nancheng?”
“No.” Xu Jing thought about it, “I think he is fromChuancheng.”
“Oh.”
During the small talk, Xiao Yebai went out to answer a phone call.
Then, a doctor came in to do a ward round, accompanied by two nurses.
While taking the temperature, one nurse asked, “Is this your daughter?”
Xu Jing quickly replied, “No, Yiyi is my niece.”
“Oh, I thought she was your daughter. She’s really beautiful.”
Mo Weiyi offered an indifferent smile in response to the compliment.
Then, the other nurse said, “Dr Liu mentioned to us just now how wonderful your husband is to you. He was extremely worried when he brought you to hospital yesterday. He even arranged for you to stay in the best VIP ward.”
Xu Jing’s face turned pale, “What are you talking about? He is my brother-in- law.”
Mo Yaoxiong looked slightly awkward.
Mo Weiyi immediately frowned.
The two nurses were taken aback.
The female doctor hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry, the nurses shouldn’t be prying into your personal affairs – a remnant of their old gossiping habits. I hope you aren’t upset.”
Xu Jing maintained a stern face and said, “I explained everything yesterday. Didn’t you hear me?”
“I’m sorry.”
“We’re truly sorry.”
“I just heard it from someone else.”
The three could do nothing but apologize repeatedly.
“You can eat whatever you want, but you cannot talk irresponsibly.” Mo Weiyi was indeed very annoyed. After saying these words, she glared at Mo Yaoxiong, “Dad, I told you before that these private hospitals are unruly. How could you let my aunt stay at such a place? All day long, it’s nothing but gossip. Anyone would think this is some marketplace, not a hospital!”
Xu Jing lowered her head, her face alternating between shades of red and white.
“Enough, all of you leave.” At Mo Yaoxiong’s command, the three swiftly exited the room with their belongings.
When Xiao Yebai returned to the room, he heard Mo Yaoxiong explaining, “Your aunt lost a lot of blood yesterday. I was so worried that I got angry with the doctor, which probably lead to the misunderstanding. Regardless, I have a significant responsibility in this car accident….”
“Brother-in-law, don’t say it like that. My injuries aren’t serious either.” Xu Jing cautiously watched Mo Weiyi, trying to placate her, “Yiyi, please don’t be angry. It’s all my fault. Your brother-in-law was just being kind sending me to school yesterday. I didn’t expect this accident to occur and it even led to misunderstandings. Don’t worry, I won’t trouble your brother-in-law anymore. Could you please not be angry with me?”
After she said that so sincerely, Mo Weiyi naturally couldn’t say much else.
After all, it was the nurses’ unwarranted gossip that had started all of this.
They decided to treat the incident as an insignificant interruption and move on.
Half an hour later, Mo Weiyi stood up, “Dad, Aunt, we’ll be leaving first.”
They had a long holiday ahead because of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day. She wanted to enjoy some private time with Xiaobai.
Mo Yaoxiong nodded, “Remember to come home early for dinner.”
“Ok.”
After the young couple left, the room was quiet for a moment.
After a while, Mo Yaoxiong broke the silence, “Why did you hide the fact that you saved me from the doctor?”
Xu Jing raised her head, “Brother-in-law, I didn’t think of anything at that moment. I just felt that since you were kind enough to drive me to school, I couldn’t let you get hurt. If something had happened to you, Yiyi would be so worried.”
Mo Yaoxiong looked at her, his eyes sharp and astute, “But why did you hide it?”
Xu Jing replied, “I didn’t want you to feel indebted to me because of this.” “Why would I?” Mo Yaoxiong sighed, “Xu Xian only has you as her younger sister. You’re alone now, it’s my duty to take care of you.”
Xu Jing shook her head, “Brother-in-law, I understand your kindness, but, I really don’t want to make Yiyi unhappy. You saw what just happened…”
On mentioning the recent incident, Mo Yaoxiong interrupted, “You’re overthinking. Yiyi is still a child at heart. Since her mother passed away early, I’ve always spoiled her. Her grandfather and Yebai also cater to her every whim. Her temper has been getting worse these days–you should just ignore it.” Ever since Xu Xian’s death a few years ago, Mo Weiyi had been particularly attentive towards him. Whenever a woman approached him with ill-intent, she would get extremely anxious. She would regularly confront these women privately, using various methods to drive them away. Only after she got married to Xiao Yebai and moved out did this behavior slightly decrease.
He knew that Mo Weiyi had learned from Xu Xian. But Xu Jing was Xu Xian’s sister! He didn’t thinkMo Weiyi would misunderstand.
Therefore, Mo Yaoxiong still felt that Xu Jing was overthinking.
Women who are as delicate and thoughtful as her are often too concerned about others’ feelings, always considering others before themselves.
“You’re overthinking.” Mo Yaoxiong repeated, “Yiyi just has too much free time. She isn’t focusing on her studies and she’s currently recovering from her injury. Once her foot heals, I’ll have Yebai take her to the company’s legal department for some training to ensure she doesn’t think about romance all daylong.”
