Chapter 112 Exploration
"Ding Dong—" the doorbell rang.
Sister-in-law Zhuang quickly went to open the door.
When Li San pushed Huangfu Ruiling into the living room, Ye Leng'an was sitting on the sofa, brushing with a tablet in his hand. Seeing someone coming, she seemed a little surprised.
"Why are you here at this hour?" Ye Leng'an put down the tablet, blinked, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"When did you hire someone?" Huangfu Ruiling glanced at Mrs. Zhuang who had just opened the door for them, and asked, "Why haven't you seen him before?"
"I invited you before going to Southern Xinjiang," Ye Leng'an would not be angry when Huangfu Ruiling didn't answer her question, but replied calmly, "That's Mrs. Zhuang, she's good at cooking."
Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows, he couldn't deny it, and then said, "Are you ready to go out?"
"What?" Ye Leng'an couldn't react for a while, "What did you say?"
"Have you forgotten?" Looking at Ye Leng'an who hadn't reacted at all, "Aren't you going to have a review today? I came here specially to pick you up."
"That's right! How did I forget about this!" Ye Leng'an slapped his head suddenly, and got up quickly, "Wait a minute, I'll go up and change clothes, and then I can go out."
In the past few nights, she has been busy making money in the stock market, preparing for the upcoming auction. Now her mind is full of the medicinal materials that will appear in the auction, so she forgot to help Zhong Yuyi review it today. If Huangfu Ruiling hadn't come to pick her up today, maybe she wouldn't be able to think about it all day.
Downstairs, Mrs. Zhuang originally planned to serve tea to the guests. However, the guest later said that she didn't need it, so she returned to the kitchen with the teacup in hand.
"Mom, who is the person who came over there just now?" Seeing Mrs. Zhuang, Li Qiaomeng immediately grabbed her and asked, "You are so handsome!"
It seems that the existence of the noble son, no, compared to the noble son, it seems to be more appropriate to describe it as a strategizing emperor. However, it is a pity that the other party is actually in a wheelchair.
"Why are you asking so much nonsense?" Mrs. Zhuang glared at Li Qiaomeng, "I warn you, don't come up with any wrong ideas. You know, it's just a matter of minutes for them to crush us to death."
She still has a certain understanding of her daughter. Although she has no bad intentions, she likes to take shortcuts since she was a child, and she has a little vanity. She doesn't think it's a good thing to suddenly inquire like this now.
"Mom, what are you talking about!" Hearing such words, Li Qiaomeng was very upset, "I was just curious, so I asked a few more questions. Is it necessary for you to say that about me?"
"You are my daughter, so I understand your fancy." Mrs. Zhuang said unceremoniously, "If I am really wrong, then I apologize to you first. However, what I said today is just to give you a vaccination. No matter who that person is, it has nothing to do with us, understand?"
Li Qiaomeng felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to disobey her mother. In the end, she could only nod reluctantly under the gaze of Mrs. Zhuang.
Ye Lengan quickly changed his clothes, went downstairs, and left with Huangfu Ruiling.
This time, their destination was not a nursing home, but a relatively quiet villa in the suburbs, which seemed very suitable for recuperation.
Today, Zhong Yuyiran's complexion looks much better, and there is a trace of blood on her face, which makes her look not as sick as before, but with a weak but stubborn beauty.
"Brother Huangfu, you are here!" Zhong Yuyiran saw no one but Huangfu Ruiling at first sight. Perhaps, in her eyes, only Huangfu Ruiling existed. As long as she saw Huangfu Ruiling's appearance, she couldn't restrain the joy in her heart.
However, compared to Zhong Yuyiran's excitement, Huangfu Ruiling seemed much colder. He didn't respond to any of Zhong Yuyiran's words, and he didn't even set his eyes on Zhong Yuyiran for a second.
His appearance didn't look like he came to visit Zhong Yuyiran at all. It's hard to tell why he came here.
Looking at Zhong Yuyiran being treated coldly, Li Yi couldn't help but feel distressed in his eyes. However, it is not suitable for him to say anything in such an occasion. Moreover, the other party was his master, so he couldn't speak even more.
Huangfu Ruiling's indifference to each other made Zhong Yuyiran's eyes flash with sadness, but immediately she smiled again and looked at Ye Leng'an, "Miss Ye, I have already told you that you saved me. Thank you very much."
"It should be, there is nothing to thank." Ye Leng'an waved his hand, and said indifferently, "You are my patient, and it is my duty to cure you."
Curing the other party is what she promised Huangfu Ruiling. However, if there was something to be dissatisfied with, it would probably be that she didn't get a dime for the consultation fee this time despite all the hard work. This time it was really a free clinic.
However, when faced with such a beautiful woman, she would not mention such vulgar things as money.
"Anyway, if there is no Miss Ye, my life may be gone." Zhong Yuyiran's face was full of gratitude, "In the future, if there is anything I can help you, just ask, I will definitely not refuse."
"Hehe, Ms. Zhong Yu is too polite." Ye Leng'an waved his hand with indifference on his face, "However, if I need help with something in the future, I will definitely not see you."
Although she said this on her lips, she felt in her heart that after today, there should be no connection between her and Zhong Yuyiran.
"Miss Yiran, let Miss Ye check it out for you first!" Li Yi beside him couldn't help but said, "Now your body is the most important thing."
"Also."
Soon, Ye Leng'an began to examine Zhong Yuyiran. In fact, the first time she saw Zhong Yuyiran, she already had a rough idea of Zhong Yuyiran's current situation. Right now it's just to be sure.
After a while, Ye Leng'an withdrew his hand, and then said, "Miss Zhong Yu is recovering well now, but—"
"But what?" Li Yi hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong with Miss Yiran's body?"
"There are no major problems, but some minor problems." Ye Leng'an shook her head, looked at Zhong Yuyiran, and said, "It can be seen that Miss Zhong Yu has been recuperating well during this period. But many times, worrying too much is also a burden on the body. Especially when the health is not good, you should relax your mind."
Ye Leng'an's words were very clear, and he almost didn't say directly that Zhong Yuyiran's recovery was affected because of thinking too much.
The people present are not fools, and naturally they all know why Zhong Yuyiran is so worried.
Li Yi and Li San lowered their heads, not daring to look at Huangfu Ruiling at all. On the contrary, Zhong Yuyi gave Huangfu Ruiling a resentful look.
Ye Leng'an, on the other hand, looked at Huangfu Ruiling openly, with a mockery in her eyes.
Facing Ye Leng'an's strange gaze, Huangfu Ruiling felt a little helpless, and gave her a warning look.
Ye Leng'an stuck out her tongue, retracted her gaze, and immediately looked at her patient.
Zhong Yuyiran had already settled down the expression on her face at this time, she looked at Ye Leng'an, smiled softly, and said, "I see, I will try my best to relax in the future. Miss Lao Ye will worry about me."
"It would be the best if you can figure it out." Ye Leng'an nodded, and continued to warn, "Your body is your own, you can just weigh it yourself. Because of this incident, your lifespan has already been affected. If you continue like this, I don't guarantee how long you can live."
You know, Lin Daiyu passed away at a young age because she was too worried. She is just a doctor, who can cure physical illnesses, but not mental illnesses. What should be said, she will make it clear that the final choice is the patient's right. Moreover, after today's review, her responsibility is over.
Hearing Ye Lengan speak so seriously, Zhong Yuyiran's face turned pale, she nodded immediately, "I will definitely rest well in the future, and I won't think too much about it."
Li Yi on the side also quickly said, "Miss Ye, is there anything else that needs attention? Also, is there any good way to take care of Miss Yiran's body?"
No one thought that the matter would be so serious. So, now they all feel a little sad in their hearts.
"There is no shortcut. The loss of the body can only be recovered slowly." Ye Leng'an said directly, "As I said before, just prepare more nourishing herbs."
After checking for Zhong Yuyiran, Ye Leng'an planned to leave.
Zhong Yuyiran asked to stay, "Miss Ye, since you are all here, why don't you stay and have a meal together! I can also thank you well."
"No need," Ye Lengan shook his head, "I still have something to do, so I won't stay any longer."
Ye Leng'an smiled and didn't speak, so naturally he wouldn't agree. She felt that the relationship between herself and Zhong Yuyiran should not be as good as this. Moreover, she didn't want to eat in front of an unfamiliar person, she was afraid of indigestion.
"Miss Ye," Zhong Yuyiran suddenly pointed to the cup on the bedside table next to Ye Leng'an, and asked, "I wonder if you can pass me that glass of water?"
It's just a matter of lifting your hands, Ye Leng'an naturally couldn't refuse such a small request. She picked up the water glass and handed it to Zhong Yuyiran.
The accident happened in an instant. When Zhong Yuyiran took the water glass, it was unknown who was not careful, and the glass was knocked over. All the water in the water glass was poured onto the back of Zhong Yuyiran's hand at once. Most importantly, the water in the cup was still very hot, and the back of Zhong Yuyiran's hand turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Miss Yiran!" Li Yi exclaimed and stepped forward, originally intending to push Ye Leng'an away, but saw that Ye Leng'an had forgotten to take a step aside.
He didn't have time to think about it, and immediately began to check the burns on Zhong Yuyiran's hands. Fortunately, although the water in the water glass is still very hot, it is not boiling water after all, and it has been left for a while. Therefore, although the burn on Miss Yiran's hand was a bit large, it was not very serious.
Huangfu Ruiling also asked Li San to push the wheelchair and came forward. However, the first thing he cared about was not the scalded Zhong Yuyiran, but Ye Leng'an who was beside him, "Are you okay!"
"Huh?" Ye Leng'an didn't react for a while, pointed at himself, and said in a daze, "Are you asking me?"
"Shouldn't you be stupid!" It was rare to see Ye Leng'an's appearance like this, Huangfu Ruiling found it interesting, and even stretched out his hand, wanting to pat Ye Leng'an's forehead.
However, Ye Leng'an quickly came back to his senses, dodged Huangfu Ruiling's movements, and said with some dissatisfaction, "What are you going to do?"
Huangfu Ruiling was not embarrassed by being discovered, but calmly withdrew his hand, "No, I just want to see if you are okay."
"I'm fine, the person who got burned is not me."
While speaking, Ye Lengan cast a pointed glance at Zhong Yuyiran. She is not an ignorant little girl, so she doesn't think what happened just now was an accident. Just now she saw very clearly that Zhong Yuyiran let go of her hand just after receiving the water cup, that's why this happened.
However, she really didn't know what Zhong Yuyiran's purpose was. After all, it is the other party who is hurt now, not yourself.
Zhong Yuyiran was generous, she didn't mean to dodge at all, but smiled and said, "I'm sorry just now, I accidentally shook my head, that's why I knocked over the water glass. Didn't scare you!"
"Miss Yiran, you are the one who is hurt now," Li Yi beside him couldn't help but said, "Why are you still apologizing to her?"
In his opinion, it is not certain whose fault it is! Moreover, Miss Yiran is a patient now, and Ye Leng'an, as a doctor, doesn't she know that she should be more careful?
"Li Yi, what are you talking about!" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhong Yuyiran's face, then she looked at Ye Leng'an, and apologized again, "Miss Ye, I'm really sorry, Li Yi just talked nonsense without knowing the situation. This time it was indeed my carelessness, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Of course it has nothing to do with me." Ye Leng'an is not someone who can be wronged. With a smile on her face, she looked at Li Yi, "If your eyes are not used, then donate them to those in need. This is more meaningful than putting them on your face as a decoration."
"You—" Li Yi's anger rose immediately, but just as he took a step forward, his hand was pulled.
Looking in the direction, I don't know when Li San came to his side, holding his hand at the moment, and motioning him to look in the direction of the master.
Suddenly, all the anger in Li Yi seemed to be extinguished by water, and after seeing Huangfu Ruiling's eyes, his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar.
How could he forget it! The master is still watching, the most important thing is that the master is partial to Ye Leng'an. Isn't it obvious that he wants to fight against the master by blaming Ye Leng'an now?
Before, the master had already asked him to go back, which meant that he would no longer be reused. After much difficulty, now the master finally let him come back, and also gave him the job of taking care of Miss Yiran. If it is done well, maybe the master will remember him well. However, now that he is impulsive, he has forgotten the previous lesson.
The reason why he was sent back and let Li San come over to take his place, the most important reason, was because he targeted, or should I say, questioned Ye Leng'an. Now he's making the same mistake again.
Huangfu Ruiling glanced at Zhong Yuyiran, and said, "Take a good rest!"
Afterwards, he turned his head and looked at Ye Leng'an, "Since the inspection has been completed, we should go!"
"Okay." Ye Leng'an nodded, then stepped forward, took over Li San's position, pushed Huangfu Ruiling, and left the room.
Li San naturally did not stay any longer, and immediately followed quickly.
For a while, only Li Yi and Zhong Yuyiran were left in the room.
Li Yi was still immersed in his own thoughts, so he didn't say anything.
"Li Yi—" Zhong Yuyiran's voice sounded, the tone had long lost the gentleness just now, but had a hint of decadence, and even a hint of crying, "Brother Huangfu won't come again, will he?"
The familiar voice made Li Yi walk out of his thoughts, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Zhong Yuyiran sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, looking very depressed, as if she had lost all hope.
"Miss Yiran, you—" Li Yi hesitated for a while, and then said, "Don't think too much, the master will definitely come when he is free."
At this moment, he has already forgotten all the thoughts just now, and now his heart and eyes are full of Zhong Yuyiran's sad appearance. Therefore, even though he knew in his heart that the master would most likely not come over, he still chose to lie.
"You don't need to comfort me." Zhong Yuyi raised her head, her eyes were already filled with tears, "I know, Brother Huangfu, he doesn't see me anymore, does he?"
Before, she still felt that she was a special existence in Huangfu Ruiling's place. However, after waking up this time, she saw Huangfu Ruiling's attitude towards Ye Leng'an, and she knew that everything she thought before was really just self-righteousness.
"Miss Yiran, how can you say that!" Li Yi hurriedly said, "Master, he must care about you, otherwise he wouldn't be looking for doctors everywhere to treat you!"
"Li Yi, Miss Ye is special to Brother Huangfu, isn't she?" Zhong Yuyi said, "You all know that, don't you?"
"Miss Yiran, why do you think so?" Li Yi was taken aback, and quickly said, "You think too much, master, he only met Miss Ye because of your affairs. There is no special relationship between them."
Although this is not the case, he must not say it now. Miss Yiran looked very sad, he must not continue to stimulate the other party now.
"You don't need to lie here to comfort me." Zhong Yuyi shook her head and smiled wryly, "Do you know? I knocked over the water glass just now on purpose."
When talking about this, Zhong Yuyiran looked at the injury on the back of her hand, tears streaming down her face involuntarily, "I just wanted to test it out, but the result—"
When she woke up in the nursing home before, when she saw Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an getting along, she already had a very uneasy feeling in her heart. Seeing that the two came together again today, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Seeing that the two of them seemed to be leaving together again, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she wanted to test it out. However, now she would rather she never tried it. She was the one who was injured just now, but the first person Huangfu Ruiling cared about was Ye Leng'an. Mingmingye Leng'an is fine, and she has been burned. Even at the end, Huangfu Ruiling didn't give him an extra look.
From what happened this time, she saw how special Huangfu Ruiling was to Ye Leng'an, and how Huangfu Ruiling didn't care about her at all.
When I woke up, three years had passed, and everything had changed. Such a change made her feel unbearable.
"Miss Yiran, how could you hurt yourself like this?" Stern eyes filled with distress, "You are still very weak now, and you need a long period of recuperation. At this time, you should try to avoid injury."
After finishing speaking, Li Yi was about to give Zhong Yuyiran the burn medicine.
Soon, Li Yi came back with scald medicine and applied it to Zhong Yuyiran.
"Miss Yiran, don't think too much." Li Yi said in relief, "The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body. Didn't Miss Ye say that just now? You worry too much, which is not good for your body. No matter what, the body is the capital of the revolution. You don't want your lifespan to decrease, do you?"
"I see." Zhong Yuyiran forced a smile, "I won't think about these things anymore. The most important thing for me now is to take care of my body first, and other things are not important. Since Brother Huangfu doesn't want to come to see me, it's the same when I go to see him after I recover."
"It's great if you can think like this," Li Yi was very happy, "Miss Yiran, when you recover, you can also go to see your wife, she cares about you very much."
"I know." A dark light flashed in Zhong Yuyiran's eyes, "I spoke with my wife on the phone two days ago. She can't come here for the time being, but she will send someone to take care of me."
Hearing Zhong Yuyiran's words, Li Yi couldn't help sighing, "Miss Yiran, Madam is so kind to you, she treats you like her own daughter."
