Chapter 1070 - Unfamiliarity (2/2)
But Xia Yanran declined Wen Qian’s kindness.
Xia Mo breathed a sigh of relief. After patting her chest, Xia Mo looked at the man who was still talking to the princ.i.p.al.
He had keen ears, and should have heard Wen Qian’s words!
Wen Qian was such a gentleman to want to carry Chief Editor Xia. Why was he so indifferent?
After crossing a wooden bridge, they arrived at an intersection. Xia Yanran and Xiao Yi were on two separate roads.
The sky was turning dark, and the distant mountains were gradually being enshrouded by darkness. The air at night was chilly. After walking for another twenty minutes, Xia Yanran saw several houses.
Junyuan was familiar with the road conditions here and he took Xia Yanran and Wen Qian to one of the houses. The houses in the village were all single houses with large courtyards in front of them.
Junyuan pushed the door and went in.
Hearing noises, a middle-aged woman came out from the room. It was the next door auntie who was taking care of Grandma Niu.
After Grandma Niu’s grandson pa.s.sed away, she lived alone in the house and Junyuan asked the next door neighbor to take care of Grandma Niu.
Junyuan entered the room with his medicine box.
His long and clean hand touched Grandma Niu’s forehead and felt that she was still feverish. The next door neighbor told Junyuan about Grandma Niu’s condition, “She had an acetaminophen injection, but it does not seem effective. She didn’t sleep last night and was only able to fall asleep just now.”
Junyuan nodded. He examined Grandma Niu’s body carefully and checked her heart rate. It was normal, but her blood pressure was a little high. After examining her, the overall condition of the old lady was better than he had expected.
Grandma Niu woke up and seeing Junyuan, she took his hand, her eyes wet with tears. When the old lady was on the drip, Xia Yanran stayed by the bed, using a cotton swab to moisturize the old lady’s lips.
The neighbor told Junyuan that the weather in the village had changed greatly recently and many old people were not feeling well. The village doctor’s injection had no effect.
Junyuan wanted to see the other elderly, but Xia Yanran pressed Junyuan down. “Brother, I’ll go with Doctor Wen. You’ve just been discharged and can’t exhaust yourself too much.”
…
Xia Mo followed Xiao Yi to the school.
She could not help admiring Xiao Yi more when she saw the newly built teaching buildings, office buildings, dormitories, canteen and library.
How much did it cost to donate such a large school?
This was really for the good of the children and was not like some hypocritical rich businessmen who did it for the sake of their reputation and interests. Moreover, Xiao Yi kept a low profile and only did it quietly, never exposing his charitable deeds in front of the media.
Xia Mo went around the school and took some photos.
When she went to the teacher’s office to find Xiao Yi, she found a beautiful young girl who looked like she was still in university standing beside him. After pouring tea for Xiao Yi, she looked at him shyly. “Mr Xiao, I’m doing my interns.h.i.+p here now. I came out from here and the mountain is my home. If it weren’t for the financial support from Mr Xiao, I wouldn’t be able to go to university.”
Xiao Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip, nodding at the girl. “The children in the mountains will be able to walk out from here in the future.”
“Mr Xiao, what do you like to eat? I’ll cook it later…”
Xia Mo ran into the office, pulled up a chair and sat down beside Xiao Yi, grinning and holding Xiao Yi’s arm. “When you talk about food, I feel so hungry already.”
The girl’s mouth opened when she saw the intimacy between Xia Mo and Xiao Yi. “Mr Xiao, this is…”
Xia Mo smiled, but those who knew her well would know that she was hiding a dagger behind that sweet smile. “He’s my brother-in-law.”
“B-Brother-in-law?” The girls eyes turned red. “Is Mr Xiao married?”
“No, but he’ll be marrying my sister soon.” Xia Mo smiled and added, “Oh yes, my sister is here too, but she hasn’t reached the school yet.”
