509 Chapter 510 Visiting

“The hospital,” Mo Fei said in a tone as if it was a matter of course. “Aren’t you going to visit Liu Xiaosheng with Zhang Mingjie?”

“Yes but I’m here to ask you for a leave. I didn’t ask you to go with me…”

“I know, but I want to go as well.” Mo Fei looked very dissatisfied with my reluctance. “I remember the first time I asked you to go out with me, you couldn’t even suppress your excitement. But now that I take the initiative to go out with you, you look so reluctant. It seems that I no longer have a place in your heart.”

It’s exactly because you have an extraordinary place in my heart, that I’m afraid of going out with you… Because of Dong Xiaoye, I had a big fight with Wang Jie. Although Liusu didn’t ask anything, she must have had some suspicions in her heart. If she found out that we went out on non-business related matters, she would definitely get jealous and wouldn’t let me go easily.

But Mo Fei didn’t seem to care about it at all. With a blushing face, she said teasingly, “You don’t know why Liu Xiaosheng wants to hurt you?”

“I know.” I frowned. “So It’s not appropriate for you to go…”

“Stop with your excessive sympathy, Liu Xiaosheng is not worthy of it. You are sympathising with his younger sister, not him.” Mo Fei suddenly interrupted me and said, “Me going with you should have no conflict with your original intention of visiting Liu Xiaosheng, right?”

I was speechless. Mo Fei’s character was exactly like this. Once the decision was made, no one would be able to change her mind. The most ridiculous thing was that she would always have some excuses, even if those excuses were unreasonable…

It’s true that the more you are afraid that something will happen, the more likely it will happen. As soon as I left the office with Mo Fei, I bumped into Liusu. I felt so frustrated that I almost cursed god out loud.

“Nan Nan, what are you doing?”

“I… am going out with Ms. Mo to do something.” Liusu didn’t like Zhang Mingjie and Liu Xiaosheng, so I deliberately kept this matter a secret so as not to make her unhappy.

“Really?…” Liusu looked at Mo Fei directly, trying to see if there were some suspicious signs on her face. However, Mo Fei’s expression was as cold and indifferent as always.

Unable to find anything suspicious, she then completely ignored the general manager of the investment without even greeting her and said to me, “Nan Nan, what my cousin said last night, don’t take it to heart. She didn’t really mean it when she said that she hated you and she didn’t want to see you again. She was just very frustrated about the situation she’s in right now. What happened was that my aunt called her yesterday. She wanted her to take you home during the holiday… Min Rou really ruined the whole thing. Now my aunt and uncle don’t believe that you and my cousin’s relationship is fake, and because you and I are too close to each other, they want my cousin to move out and live on her own…”

I couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. No wonder Shu Tong was angry. It turned out that she was just frustrated that her parents didn’t believe her, and she felt guilty for how her parents thought of Liusu…

But if I were in Mother Shu’s shoes, I would also ask my daughter to keep a certain distance from her cousin if I found out that my daughter’s ‘boyfriend’ was too close to my niece…

“Do I look like such a petty-minded person? Do you think I don’t know what kind of character your cousin is? Don’t worry, I won’t get angry at her.”

“That’s good.” Liusu frowned and looked at me annoyingly. “The trouble now is, how should you explain the relationship between you and my cousin to my aunt and uncle? That Min Rou has messed everything up and turned a relatively simple thing into such a complicated situation now.”

“Don’t worry, it will work itself out eventually.” Although I said this, I was as worried as Liusu. If I told them now that I was not from a rich family, Mother Shu and Father Shu would definitely return the fifty thousand Chinese yuan to me. At that time, I would not be able to hide the illness of Grandma Shu from Shu Tong. If there was really no other way, I would have to confess to Mother Shu and Father Shu after Shu Tong found out about her grandma’s situation…

…

If it wasn’t for Xingyu to call out ‘Elder Brother’ to the man lying on the hospital bed, I really would not believe that the man would be Mr. Liu who used to be handsome and arrogant. It was not only because his face was wrapped around like a mummy and covered with bandages, but also because of those dull eyes he had. It was like the eyes of someone who had completely given up on living.

As expected of a rich man, the comfort of the ward Liu Xiaosheng was in was similar to that of a luxury hotel room, except for the pungent smell of disinfectant.

I took the tea from Xingyu and said with a smile, “Only the people from the rich family would mind using paper cups. As for me, paper cups are like a part of my life. So why would I mind it?”

Xingyu couldn’t help chuckling at my response. Seeing a smile appear on her exhausted face, I felt slightly relieved.

But when I noticed her swollen face again, I couldn’t help but frown. “Did Lao Guo bully you?”

Xingyu subconsciously covered her face. “No, how would he have the heart to bully me.”

“Then who has the heart to do it?”

“It’s my da Brother Nan, you shouldn’t trick a girl into telling something she doesn’t want to tell you, you know? It’s not gentlemanly.” Xingyu pretended to be angry and joked, but I could clearly see the grievances flowing in her eyes, and from the words that she didn’t get to finish, I knew that the person who hit her was her dad.

It seemed like coming to visit Liu Xiaosheng today was the right call. I sighed. “Why didn’t you call me?”

Xingyu’s expression darkened, and she said softly, “Brother Nan has already helped me and Guo Xiang a lot. I can’t always ask you for help. That’s a very selfish thing to do…”

“Don’t be silly. Didn’t I tell you that since you called me Brother Nan, I won’t let you call me Brother Nan for nothing. I’ll treat you like my own sister. Besides, it’s not like it’s a very difficult request.”

“Brother Nan, I” Xingyu choked up with tears, unable to say anything.

Completely different from Liu Xiaosheng, Xingyu’s kind consideration also won Mo Fei’s affection. Mo Fei took out a handkerchief and wiped Xingyu’s tears for her and jokingly said, “Sister Xingyu, just ignore him. He always likes to lie to girls like this and make them cry.”

Xingyu was still a little unfamiliar with Mo Fei, but she also knew that the reason why Liu Xiaosheng wanted to harm me had something to do with Mo Fei. Therefore, she had some hard feelings toward Mo Fei. She took the handkerchief hesitantly, expressed her gratitude, and then looked at the almost perfect woman in front of her up and down, her eyes gradually revealing an expression of admiration.

Mo Fei didn’t mind that Xingyu deliberately kept her distance from her. She smiled slightly, and came back to me, gently holding my arm.

Liu Xiaosheng’s eyes changed suddenly while lying on the bed, but he still didn’t speak.

“Brother Nan, thank you for coming to visit my elder brother, I thank you on behalf of our whole family…”

“No need,” I interrupted Xingyu, “I don’t like this kind of courtesy talk. There is only one reason why I’m here. It’s for you and Guo Xiang, that’s all.”

What I said definitely did not sound pleasant, but only by saying this could I give Xingyu the greatest support.

Xingyu was silent for a while, seemingly seeing through my intentions. She sobbed and said softly, “Brother Nan, thank you…”

I smiled lightly and nodded.

“Then you can talk with my elder brother, I’m going out first.”

“Mhm.” Although I nodded, I couldn’t help but think to myself that if she was gone, then who was I going to talk to? Looking at her elder brother, it was obvious that he didn’t want to talk to me…

It probably wouldn’t be that bad if Mo Fei didn’t come with tme. But now that she was here with me, Liu Xiaosheng definitely wouldn’t want to talk to me even more.

Before Xingyu went out, she especially glanced at Zhang Mingjie who stood at the door without saying a word for a long time, then frowned slightly, seemingly thinking of something.

Surprisingly, after Xingyu left, Liu Xiaosheng spoke first, “So it’s not me who you came to see but my younger sister.”

“If the person lying in the hospital bed now was me, would you come to visit me, Mr. Liu?” Instead of answering Liu Xiaosheng, I asked him a question.

“Yes. I would come to laugh at you,” Liu Xiaosheng glanced at Mo Fei and continued without any hesitation, “just like what you are doing now.”

Mo Fei wanted to speak, but was stopped by me, “I didn’t come to laugh at you. After experiencing that kind of bloody scene, do you think I can still laugh at you? I had not reached that stage of cruelty where I would treat other people’s tragedies as amusing jokes.”

Liu Xiaosheng was dazed hearing my response. Seeing this, I gritted my teeth and continued, “Bringing Fei Fei here with me is just to express my position as a man. Mr. Liu, you can understand it as me showing off, but it is definitely not to laugh at you.”

“Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha…” Liu Xiaosheng laughed out suddenly, but as if his laugh affected his wound, he groaned in pain immediately afterward. “Chu Nan, in the past, I didn’t understand why I am inferior to you. But now I finally understand it. I finally understand…”

Zhang Mingjie and I were both waiting for Liu Xiaosheng to finish his words, but Liu Xiaosheng just kept saying ‘I finally understand it’, making us very confused. Only Mo Fei was looking at me with a small smile, showing no interest in Liu Xiaosheng’s words.

“Mr. Liu, it was me who asked Mr. Chu to come to visit you. I can guarantee that he has no intention of ridiculing you.”

“You?” I couldn’t see Liu Xiaosheng’s expression because of the bandages, but I could see his indifferent gaze. Although what he said seemed to be a question, from his tone that was full of contempt, he didn’t seem to be interested in the answer.
