At this point, Li Lingyi started crying again, "It's said that even family members can't visit. We don't even know whether your father is dead or alive..."
Through the phone, Xia Xingchen could faintly hear Li Lingyi's crying, as well as the old lady's grief-stricken crying.
She felt bad. Although she had moved out of that house a long time ago, blood is still blood, but...
"I've just been hired as a full-time employee at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although I deal with my superiors all the time, I'm afraid we're not that close yet..."
"You have to try it! You won't know the result until you try it."
Li Ling was like grasping a life-saving straw, always hoping that Xingchen could give her some hope. Xia Xingchen pondered for a while and asked, "Is there nothing you can do about Xu Yan?"
"… No." It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it. Li Lingyi felt even sadder when he did. "He said that the epidemic prevention work this time was done perfectly. Anyone who said they couldn't enter couldn't enter. There were no exceptions."
It has already been forced into such a rule. If even Xu Yan has no solution, how can she
Xia Xingchen was confused. Li Lingyi's repeated pleas made her even more confused. After comforting her for a long time on the phone and promising her to try her best, Li Lingyi hung up the phone slowly.
She stood on the terrace holding the phone and enjoying the cool breeze. When she thought about her father's uncertain life or death, no, to be more precise, he was already standing at the gates of hell, her heart tightened and her chest ached.
If even Xu Yan couldn't help, the only people she could turn to might be Yu Zenan and...
White Night...
But how could she ask Bai Yeqing for such a favor
He is so busy with so many things...
Xia Xingchen was playing with his phone, flipping through the phone book and clicking on the name of 'Yu Zenan'. However, before he could dial out, an incoming call came in.
She was stunned.
When I saw the words "future husband" flashing on the screen, I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.
By the time I picked up the phone, it had already rang four or five times.
"Hello, who is this?" Bai Yeqing's deep and pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone. For some reason, Xia Xingchen felt a sudden sour sensation in his nose.
His voice seemed to touch the softest and most vulnerable part of her heart.
The calmness that I had just maintained with great difficulty seemed to collapse in an instant when I heard his voice.
She choked and wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't speak.
"Xia Xingchen?" Bai Yeqing called out her name accurately. Even though she hadn't spoken yet, he could hear her deep breathing accurately.
"it's me… "
"Crying?" Bai Yeqing's voice became deeper. "What happened?"
"… It's okay." Xia Xingchen shook her head, sniffed, raised her head and looked far ahead, trying to swallow back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
"Tell me!" He said in a tone that brooked no room for argument. After a pause, he asked, "Did anyone bully you at work?"
"No." She denied quickly.
"Then why are you crying?" He was so upset because of crying.
"It's my family's business..."
"explain."
Xia Xingchen hesitated for a moment before saying, "My stepmother called me just now... She said that my dad was confirmed to be infected with the Wisconsin epidemic. I want to go to the hospital to see him, but... He is now isolated and I don't even know what the situation is..."
As she spoke, she felt more and more sad. As she spoke, her voice was choked with sobs, and she seemed even more fragile and pitiful.
Bai Yeqing asked: "Do you want to go see him?"
"That's what I thought, but I know it's difficult... Xu Yan can't do anything about it."
His face darkened.
"You just called me twice, just to talk about this?"
"No." She originally just wanted to ask about her own work, "This kind of thing... I didn't want to bother you." She was afraid that he would find her annoying.
"So, you would rather disturb your ex-boyfriend?" Bai Yeqing's tone was a little bad.
Xia Xingchen shook her head, "I wasn't the one who found Xu Yan. I was originally..."
At this point, she paused for a moment before continuing, "I... originally wanted to find Yu Zenan. He must have a way..."
Bai Yeqing's eyebrows jumped, and when he spoke again, his tone was almost icy, "It seems that you have made up your mind to turn a deaf ear to my words!"
damn it!
Is this woman trying to make him angry on purpose
For something like this, she didn't even ask him for help, but chose to go to Yu Zenan instead of the easy way? !
Or, in her eyes, Yu Zenan and Xu Yan were her own people, and he was just an outsider? !
The more Bai Yeqing thought about it, the angrier he became. For a moment, even his breathing became heavier.
Xia Xingchen said: "I'm not turning a deaf ear to your words... It's just that there is no better way than this now. I... don't want to trouble you."
He was furious.
Gnashing his teeth, he said, "Who told you that this is trouble? You don't want to trouble me, but you feel at ease to trouble Xu Yan and Yu Zenan—Xia Xingchen, you owe them these favors, what are you going to use to repay them in the future?"
"..." Xia Xingchen was speechless. She was already anxious, and when he asked her this, she didn't know what to do.
"Work first, I'll call you later." Bai Yeqing spoke again, his tone still as serious: "If I find out that you go to see Yu Zenan again, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
“… Got it, I won’t look for him.”
Xia Xingchen bit her lip and agreed obediently. If she offended Bai Yeqing, she might not be able to see her father even if she found Yu Zenan.
only…
Because of political hostility, she was not allowed to contact Yu Zenan. This man was too domineering after all!
Bai Yeqing didn't say anything else and hung up the phone. Xia Xingchen thought about it and called Li Ling back, asking her to wait for a while.
This way.
As soon as Li Ling answered the phone, she quickly reported the situation to her mother-in-law, "Mom, Xingchen just said on the phone, wait and see, there may be news."
"Is she sure?" asked the old lady.
“She didn’t say that.”
Xia Xingkong said, "I think Xingchen is just talking. Brother Xu Yan works in the President's Office. Everyone he deals with is a big shot. Xu Yan can't do anything about it, so how can my sister think of a solution?"
On the side. Xu Yan recalled the day when he met her and Yu Zenan at the stadium, and he felt even more uncomfortable. After a while, he said, "Don't worry, if Xingchen says there is a way, then there must be a way."
In his words, he was defending Xia Xingchen and showing his trust in her ability. Xia Xingkong was unhappy, but he just smiled and asked casually, "Brother Xu Yan, you guys are not in contact privately, right?"
