137 Cleared Misunderstandings (1/2)
Qin Xiaoyou bit her lip as she quietly said, ”My mother is ill. We spent a lot of money on her treatment. Since we had no money, Su Boyu helped out. That's why my mother could continue to receive treatment at the hospital.”
”What?”
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and repeated, ”What did you say?”
Qin Xiaoyou's mother's illness was handled by him. What did it have to do with Su Boyu? Mo Wen was confused.
”... Sorry. I will find a way to return the money to him.”
Qin Xiaoyou thought Mo Wen was angry, so she lowered her head while speaking. She had run out of options, so she had to accept Su Boyu's help.
”What does Su Boyu have to do with your mother's illness? Isn't the hospital providing treatment to your mother for free?”
Mo Wen was befuddled.
”It's because of Su Boyu's connection that the hospital treated my mother specially.”
Qin Xiaoyou said sadly. Before this, when her mother was almost chased out of the hospital, nobody took pity on them. Now after a rich young master showed his face, even the deputy director of the Leading Military Hospital showed concern for her mother's condition. Such irony.
Mo Wen suddenly realized that the situation was a little weird. What exactly was Su Boyu doing?
”Tell me about this in detail.”
Qin Xiaoyou pursed her lips. After she had finished telling Mo Wen what had happened, his face became as cold as Antarctica.
This was his first encounter with someone who could be shameless and despicable to this extent. He would have never thought that his carelessness would become the root cause for this series of events. If he knew how it would turn out, he would have told Qin Xiaoyou straight away.
But Qin Xiaoyou's mother knew that he was the person who helped her. Why would Qin Xiaoyou still trust Su Boyu's words? Could it be possible that Wang Huiru didn't tell Qin Xiaoyou about him?
That scumbag! Mo Wen punched a tree forcefully, making a big hole.
Qin Xiaoyou was shocked. She stared at tree with a hole in it.. Her brain couldn't react to it for a moment.
Was Mo Wen's body made of steel? She had an urge to grab his body and check for herself.
”You… how can you…”
Qin Xiaoyou pointed at the tree and stammered. She knew Mo Wen was incredible and knew martial arts. But it couldn't be this absurd. This was like a superhuman…
”If you had practiced the Nine Yin Scripture, you could be this strong too,” said Mo Wen as he rubbed Qin Xiaoyou's head. ”Who asked you to loaf on the job? Now you are being bullied, right?”
Qin Xiaoyou lowered her head while blushing.
”I will practice it properly from now on.”
After the military training was over, she had forgotten about practicing the Nine Yin Scripture.
”Let's go home first.”
Mo Wen held onto Qin Xiaoyou's hand and walked out of the woods. He didn't know how to tell Qin Xiaoyou about her mother's treatment. He could only cross that bridge when he got to it. If he told her directly, she might blame him. Mo Wen didn't dare continue upsetting Qin Xiaoyou now.
He smiled wryly. Why did he feel that he had dug a grave for himself? If he had done everything openly before this, perhaps there wouldn't be so many incidents happening.
…
Qin Xiaoyou was found in the Leading Military Hospital the following week.
After Qin Xiaoyou had the incident, she had not visited her mother since.
But thankfully, Wang Xiaofei helped her come up with a story. However, Wang Huiru did not know about her daughter's disfigurement.
”Mother!”
Qin Xiaoyou and Mo Wen walked into the ward, hand in hand. Looking at her mother lying on the sickbed, her tears rolled down uncontrollably.
Wang Huiru was leaning against her bed and watching television. When she saw that Qin Xiaoyou walked in, a glint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She had not seen her daughter for a week. She missed her terribly.
”Xiaoyou, you are back?”
Wang Huiru smiled radiantly, like a flower. She held onto Qin Xiaoyou's hand and refused to let go. ”What are you crying about? My body is getting better each and every day. It won't be long before I can get out of this hospital.”
She thought Qin Xiaoyou was still worrying about her condition. She didn't know that within this short period of time, a lot had happened to Qin Xiaoyou.
Wang Xiaofei lied to Wang Huiru and saying that Xiaoyou went to a colloquium due to the school's arrangement. She would be gone for at least a week.
”I'm back.”
Qin Xiaoyou wiped away her tears and smiled happily. She must put on a cheerful look at all times in front of her mother. No matter how much pain she felt inside, she must face it with a smile.
Because she knew that if she was happy, her mother would be too. If she was unhappy, her mother would be unhappy too.
”Mo Wen! You are here too. Come, take a seat. I am a bad host.”
Wang Huiru had been fully engaged in talking with her daughter that she didn't notice Mo Wen, who was standing by the door. It was only now that she saw him.
She prepared to get up and carry a chair over for Mo Wen. She could get out of bed and walk a few steps now. To ensure that her body's functions could recover as soon as possible, the nurses helped her take a walk in the garden everyday.
”Auntie Wang, please lie down. Don't worry about me.”
Mo Wen smiled dryly. Naturally, he wouldn't make Wang Huiru get out of bed. He carried a chair for Qin Xiaoyou, then another for himself.
He knew that by following Qin Xiaoyou to visit Wang Huiru today, Qin Xiaoyou would definitely find out about the situation too. But he had made up his mind. The situation should be made known to Qin Xiaoyou as soon as possible to avoid her from being threatened by Su Boyu again.
