Chapter 316 – Sister Yu had recovered! (1/2)

North Heping Road. Dong Xuebing’s apartment.

It’s a bright morning, but Dong Xuebing is still under his warm blanket in his bed.

The heater is not very warm in Dong Xuebing’s apartment, and it’s more comfortable under the covers.

After arriving in Beijing last night, Dong Xuebing returned to this one-bedroom apartment. It’s been a while since anyone stayed in the apartment, and the furniture is covered in a layer of dust. Dong Xuebing had to clean up until the middle of the night before he can get a hot shower and sleep. He felt relaxed without any pressure, and he just needs to remain in Beijing to wait for Sister Yu to return. After that, they will return to Yan Tai County together.

But it’s boring without anything to do.

Qu Yunxuan and her parents had gone to Hong Kong and Macau for vacation and will return after Lunar New Year.

Dong Xuebing is free, and smoked a few cigarettes on the bed, thinking of what to do later. Sigh… Dong Xuebing wonders if Sister Yu had removed her bandages.

Dong Xuebing called Yu Meixia, but the line did not get through.

As Dong Xuebing was about to try calling again, his phone rang.

Dong Xuebing looked at the number and smiled. He ruffled his hair and sat up to answer the call. “Hello, Xiao Qianqian…”

“Big Brother… Sob… sob… sob…” Yu Qianqian cried over the phone.

“Ah… stop crying…” Dong Xuebing panicked. “What’s wrong?”

Yu Meixia sobbed as she asked, “My mum… her… face…”

Dong Xuebing knew he could not hide this matter from Yu Qianqian. “I’m sorry. You were preparing for your exams a while ago, and your mother and I do not want to make you worry. Yes, your mother’s face was scratched, and I had accompanied her to Korea for treatment. She should be removing her bandages today, and if the surgery is successful, there will not be any scars. Don’t worry, and we will be back in a few days.”

“Sob… my mum… my mum is really going to be alright?”

“Haha… I promise I will return your mother in one piece, alright? Stop crying, ok?”

Yu Qianqian stopped crying and sniffled. “… Ok!”

Dong Xuebing continued. “Alright. Remember to do your holiday homework, and I will check after I return.” Dong Xuebing coaxed Yu Qianqian for a while more before hanging up.

Sigh… Let’s hope for the best for Sister Yu.

No! I cannot hope for the best! Sister Yu must recover her looks!

Dong Xuebing stopped himself from overthinking and got out of bed to wash up. After that, he went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast. His breakfast is two sunny sides up eggs and a cup of expired instant coffee.

Ring… ring… ring…

As Dong Xuebing was washing the dishes, his phone rang.

“… Yes… It’s removed.”

“How is it?” Dong Xuebing asked worryingly.

Yu Meixia’s background is very noisy. “I… I am at Beijing Airport, and had just got off the plane.”

“Huh?” Dong Xuebing was stunned. “You are back?! Why didn’t you inform me earlier? Wait for me. I will go and fetch you now.”

“The signal is bad, and I tried calling, but the line did not get through. I… I will wait for you at the arrival hall. I am not sure where I am now. This place is too big, and I cannot find the exit.”

“Don’t move about and wait for me.”

Dong Xuebing did not expect Yu Meixia to return so early. She must be scare to remain in Seoul alone and asked Zhang Jingjing to help her book the earliest flight home. That means Yu Meixia’s treatment had ended last night, and she removed her bandages this morning. Since the hospital allowed Yu Meixia to be discharged, she should have recovered. But Dong Xuebing wonders how her recovery is.

Dong Xuebing grabbed his wallet and rushed downstairs.

Dong Xuebing’s Mercedes Benz was parked in the basement carpark of a nearby apartment when he drove to Beijing a few days ago. He quickly ran to his car and drove to the airport.

Dong Xuebing arrived at the airport and called Yu Meixia. After asking for a long time, he finally confirmed her position.

With the help of an Airport staff, Dong Xuebing walked towards Yu Meixia’s location and tried to spot her among the crowd.

… There she is!

Yu Meixia was standing in front of a café at the airport with a small suitcase. She looks around nervously as if she is overseas now. Dong Xuebing took a deep breath as he noticed Yu Meixia is wearing a face mask. If she is fully recovered, why is she wearing a mask? Could it be the scars could not be covered, and she had to cover her face with a mask?
