Holding the phone, Lu Yao opened her lips slightly and listened to Xu Yingjia's anxious voice. She wanted to answer. But the sound couldn't come out.
After trying hard for a long time, she only squeezed out one hoarse word from her throat: "Okay."
Xu Yingjia said: "Yaoyao, don't worry. Call aunt first and ask. Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital?"
Lu Yao said, "No, I'll go to the hospital first. I'll call you if anything happens."
"Okay, don't worry. Jian Chengli will be fine."
Lu Yao hung up the phone, her eyes widened. Search back and forth between the coffee table and the sofa in the living room. She is looking for her phone. Yesterday, she went to the business hall to apply for a card. When she came back, she turned off her phone. How did she know that something like this would happen
I searched in the living room for a long time and couldn't find it. Lu Yao forced herself to calm down. Then try to remember. Suddenly I thought of leaving my phone upstairs. She immediately ran back to the guest room on the second floor.
Sure enough, she put the pink mobile phone on the bedside table. Turn on your phone. In such a short time, Lu Yao had already turned around and went downstairs. Go to the door of the room.
When she left Ji Guanxin's house, her cell phone happened to be turned on.
Not long after, the missed calls and unread text messages from Du Hui and Xu Yingjia popped up, including Zhan Bai's.
Lu Yao quickly called Du Hui, and a beeping connection sound came from the phone. Lu Yao stared blankly at herself in the elevator wall.
"Hello."
"Hello? How is Jian Chengli?"
Hearing Du Hui's voice, Lu Yao instinctively tightened her phone, her hoarse voice revealing panic and anxiety.
Du Hui didn't answer immediately. After waiting for a few seconds, she replied: "Where have you been? You didn't show up when Cheng Li came back from the police station. He was injured in a car accident and underwent surgery, and you didn't show up. You Say, what do you want?"
Lu Yao was already upset, but now she heard that Jian Chengli was injured and undergoing surgery. She was so anxious that she almost shed tears and kept asking, "How is he now?"
She was so scared, so afraid that the answer she heard from Du Hui would be too much for her to bear.
There was anger in Du Hui's voice, and she said lukewarmly: "The right leg bone was broken in many places. The doctor performed an operation and put a plaster on it. He said he would be hospitalized for observation for at least three weeks."
Lu Yao instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously feeling that the fracture was healed and she was still alive.
But the tears that came up immediately made Lu Yao reach out to cover her mouth, and she swallowed back all the choking and heartache. The elevator went down to the first floor, and there were strangers standing at the door. They all looked surprised and surprised when they saw it.
She walked out quickly with her cell phone in hand. Du Hui didn't hear her voice, but said in a deep voice: "If you want to still treat me as your mother, you should come to the hospital quickly. If you quarrel with Jian Beibei, we can't join together." I won’t even go back to this home. Cheng Li has always been nice to you. I’ve seen all this. He’s been memorizing words recently, doing bad things one after another. Anyone can add insult to injury, but you can’t. Your surname is not Jian, but you are from this family, and Cheng Li is half of your brother. For this reason, if you don’t show up, you won’t even recognize me as your mother. "
Du Hui was also very disappointed with Lu Yao's "cruel heart". She knew she had a stubborn temper, but she didn't expect her stubbornness to be like this. She could remain indifferent even when such big things happened to Jian Chengli one after another.
Jian Beibei has been playing at home several times in the past few days, causing a lot of noise. Although Jian Hongfeng didn't say anything openly, judging from his face and performance, he was also dissatisfied with Lu Yao.
Du Hui's role in this family was already embarrassing. Now because Lu Yao refused to return to Jian's house, she was even more in a dilemma.
Lu Yao tried her best to swallow her tears and sobs back into her stomach. After leaving the building, she muttered: "Which floor and room number is on which floor of the Central Hospital?"
Du Hui heard that Lu Yao was crying, and her tone softened. She gave her room number, and then said, "Yao Yao, Jian Beibei said that you and Ji Guanxin are in love. Is it true or false?"
Lu Yao's heart was half ice and half fire. The two collided, but fire and water were incompatible. She had to destroy the container of her mortal body.
She said in a hoarse voice: "I don't want to talk now, hang up now."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yao quickly ran outside the community. Ji Guanxin usually drove the car downstairs, which was still some distance from the door. She ran out of the community, stopped the car on the street, and went Central hospital.
On the way, Lu Yao clenched her fists, and the harder she tried not to cry, the more tears fell down her face.
Looking sideways out of the window, his mind was filled with scenes from last night's meeting with Jian Chengli. He was obviously fine at that time, but why did he suddenly...
Feeling the pain in her heart, Lu Yao finally understood what it meant to be hurt in his body and hurt in her heart.
Jingchen Yipin is not far from the Central Hospital, and it only takes 20 minutes by car. Lu Yao paid and got out of the car and ran quickly to the hospital. At this time, she couldn't care less about how painful her waist was and how sore her legs were.
All she could think about was Jian Chengli. She desperately wanted to see him, not knowing how injured he was.
As soon as she got out of the elevator, Lu Yao found Jian Chengli's ward without even looking, because there were familiar figures standing at the door. They were Qi Ji and several other Jian Chengli's buddies.
Lu Yao ran over and Qi Ji saw her and shouted: "Yao Yao."
Lu Yao said: "Stepbrother." Her voice was hoarse and her eyes were red.
Qi Ji felt distressed in his heart and couldn't help but said: "It's okay, don't cry. Cheng Li's surgery went smoothly. Go in and see him quickly. I'll wait for Shanyun here."
Lu Yao nodded and hurriedly walked into the ward. She opened the door and went in. The ward was a suite. She didn't see a few people in the room until she went to the end.
Jian Hongfeng and Du Hui were sitting on the sofa. Jian Chengli's biological mother Zhou Wanping and Jian Beibei were sitting on both sides of the hospital bed. The man lying on the bed wearing a hospital gown was Jian Chengli.
There are several red abrasions on his handsome face, and a piece of white gauze is attached to his forehead. The most serious thing is his right leg, which is half-suspended in a plaster. It looks funny but makes people feel distressed.
Zhou Wanping held a bowl in her hand and looked like she was going to feed Jian Chengli something to eat. Jian Chengli shook his head expressionlessly.
Jian Beibei asked: "Brother, do you want to eat fruit? I will peel it for you."
Lu Yao stood at the door. Ever since she saw Jian Chengli's appearance, her steps seemed to have taken root and she remained motionless.
It was Lu Yao who Du Hui saw first. She subconsciously stood up and called, "Yao Yao."
This sound made everyone look up or turn their heads and look at Lu Yao at the door.
Lu Yao kept staring at Jian Chengli, and when he raised his head, he met her eyes.
Her vision became blurred, and the feeling like a lump in her throat came back again. Lu Yao couldn't say anything.
When Du Hui saw this, she quickly walked to the door, grabbed Lu Yao's arm and entered the ward. As she walked, she said, "Yao Yao just found out about Cheng Li's hospitalization. She didn't know that her mobile phone could not be turned on during working hours. Coming right away.”
Jian Beibei turned her head and glared at Lu Yao. Without thinking, she said, "Aren't you too happy to play with Ji Guanxin? Do you need to go out to work by yourself when you are the boss's wife?"
She deliberately disliked Lu Yao, but she immediately regretted it after saying it.
Instinctively she glanced at the sick Jian Chengli. Although his face was still expressionless, she didn't know if Jian Beibei was overthinking it. She always felt that she could see a strong look of hurt in Jian Chengli's black pupils.
Damn it, how could she forget that her brother liked Lu Yao. She just wanted to embarrass Lu Yao, but she didn't want to hurt Jian Chengli.
Jian Beibei felt regretful and angry at the same time. She blamed all her faults on Lu Yao. It was all her fault! It's all her fault. Without her, everything in their Jian family would be fine, and Jian Chengli wouldn't be what he is now.
Jian Beibei's words made Du Hui embarrassed and nervous, but in front of Jian Hongfeng and Zhou Wanping, she couldn't blatantly quarrel with Jian Beibei. She could only try to squeeze out a kind expression and replied: " Beibei, Yaoyao really didn’t turn on her phone during work. Otherwise, how could she not come over when she knew that Cheng Li had an accident and was hospitalized? "
Jian Beibei snorted, fearing that she would be disobedient when she spoke, so she simply looked away from the two of them.
Jian Hongfeng said aloud: "Okay, why bother making noise in a place like this? Isn't it chaotic enough?"
Jian Beibei and Du Hui remained silent. Du Hui secretly pushed Lu Yao's arm and motioned for her to come forward and say a few words, but Lu Yao looked at Jian Chengli's face and didn't know what to say.
Zhou Wanping always ignored Du Hui and Lu Yao. When Lu Yao came in, she just looked back. At this time, she was holding a bowl of freshly prepared bone soup in her hand. She took a spoonful of it, blew it slightly to cool it, and brought it to Jian Chengli's mouth. It was like coaxing a child, saying, "Come on, take a sip."
Jian Chengli didn't even look at the soup in Zhou Wanping's hand. He just looked at Lu Yao and said softly: "Here he comes."
No one expected that the person in the hospital would be the first to speak to the visiting person. But Lu Yao still said nothing at this time.
Du Hui looked anxious and wanted to speak out for her, but was afraid of doing it too obviously and causing others to watch.
In fact, it wasn't that Lu Yao didn't want to speak, it was just that she couldn't make a sound. Standing stiffly at the end of the bed, she nodded slightly.
Jian Chengli saw her eyes were red and felt uncomfortable in her heart. He couldn't help but open his thin lips and said proactively: "I'm fine, it's just a skin injury. It'll be fine in two days."
When Lu Yao heard this, her vision suddenly blurred. She clenched her fists tightly, holding back the sobs and sourness that were about to come out of her mouth.
Jian Beibei frowned and said, "What kind of skin trauma? Fracture, comminuted fracture. The doctor said it will take three months to return to normal. I don't know what will happen in the future."
With that said, Jian Beibei wiped away her tears.
Zhou Wanping put the soup bowl on the table, took out a tissue and handed it to Jian Beibei. She looked the same, but said something like this: "Okay, don't cry in front of others. Your brother is injured. It's not... When someone’s family is injured, do you expect everyone to be as worried as you and me?”
