Chapter 1110 - Going to S Country (1/2)

Xiao Yi’s expression was tense, his eyes murderous. The aura he was exuding was too strong, making others s.h.i.+ver in fear.

The girl blinked her bright eyes at him, her heart thumping a few times. “Aunt Qing has a mother, does Brother Xiao Yi remember her? Aunt Qing’s mother wanted to bring her to S Country back then, but Aunt Qing stayed for you and argued with her mother. The Old Madam went abroad and started her own business. She remembered Aunt Qing a few years later, but couldn’t find her anymore when she went back again.

“The Old Madam found out that she had cancer last year and doesn’t have long to live anymore, so she missed Aunt Qing even more than ever. The Old Madam has a photo of Aunt Qing with you when you were still young and I saw it accidentally. I was an orphan, and had grown up with the support of the Old Madam’s charity trust. To thank the Old Madam, I’ve been trying to help her find Aunt Qing for her.

“A while back, I became an exchange student in Hong Kong and saw a notice on the newspaper accidentally that said that you had retired from the triad and are no longer part of them, so people shouldn’t seek revenge or that kind of thing…

“I saw the photo and realized that you were similar to the boy Aunt Qing was hugging in the photo. Your name is the same as well, so I went to find Brother Xiao Feng. He said that you had come to Bardahl, so I came to find you and confirm that it was you.”

The girl took out a photo from her pocket and pa.s.sed it to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi took the photo. The photo had turned yellow with age, and when Xiao Yi saw the image of his aunt in the photo, he recalled the image of her when she died and his eyes couldn’t help but turn red.

His throat started to itch once more, his emotions becoming agitated as he started to cough uncontrollably. The moment he started to cough, it seemed like he could no longer stop coughing.

Seeing Xiao Yi cough until his face turned pale, the girl jumped in shock. “Brother Xiao Yi, are you alright?”

The girl was slightly helpless. She hurriedly moved to pour a cup of water, wanting to pa.s.s it to Xiao Yi. However, because she was too rushed, she slipped and fell onto the bed uncontrollably.

Xiao Yi supported her arm.

Xia Yanran had finished buying the food and had returned to the room. Seeing that the door wasn’t closed, she was about to walk in when she saw a young girl leaning on Xiao Yi’s shoulder.

Xia Yanran was slightly frozen.

Xiao Yi let go of the girl very quickly, asking calmly, “Are you alright?”

The girl shook her head, her face slightly flushed. “I’m sorry for spilling water on your bed.” She looked down, looking like an obedient girl who had committed a mistake.

Xiao Yi waved his hands. “It’s alright.” As he said so, he returned the photo to the girl. “You rest first.”

The girl nodded and left on her crutches.

Once she arrived at the door and saw Xia Yanran leaning against the door, the girl’s eyes lit up. “Sister?”

Hearing the girl’s voice made Xia Yanran regain her senses. So it was that girl she had saved.

“Brother Xiao Yi was coughing really badly just now, so I wanted to give him some water, but I spilled it accidentally.” The girl blinked her large eyes, her eyes bright and innocent. “Please don’t misunderstand, Sister.”

Xia Yanran stared at the girl, zoning out slightly when she realized how young and pretty the girl was after the blood was washed off her face.

This girl was really similar to her when she was younger.

“It’s alright, how’s your injury?”

The girl pointed at her left leg. “I was stabbed once, but it’s lucky that the wound isn’t too deep.”

“I’ll bring some food to you later, go back and rest well first.”

“Thank you, Sister.” The girl took a few steps forward before she seemed to remember something. She turned back and smiled at Xia Yanran. “Sister, I’m Yi Ran.”

“I’m Xia Yanran.”

“Such a coincidence, we both have a ‘Ran’ in our names.”

Yes, it was such a coincidence!

After the girl left, Xia Yanran walked into the room. Xiao Yi wasn’t coughing so badly anymore, but he still let out an occasional cough. He leaned back on the bed, his eyebrows furrowed tightly like he was deeply troubled.
