Xu Lin and Su Qingwan arrived at the hospital smoothly. Xu Lin had called and confirmed the hospital where Bai Xiaoxiao was going, as she didn’t have a phone and could be difficult to contact once she left home.
Upon arriving at the People’s Hospital in Linshui City, Xu Lin hurried to the emergency department.
Since Bai Xiaoxiao’s father had been injured during renovation and her mother had fainted, he wanted to check on them.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s father had already been taken to the hospital by his coworkers and was conscious, so Xu Lin went to see Bai Xiaoxiao’s mother first.
“Xu Lin, when did you meet Bai Xiaoxiao?”
“A few days ago, I noticed her buying a lot of breakfast, thinking she was being bullied. But it turned out not to be the case, and we became acquainted.”
“Alright, let’s go this way. I came here with my mom for a check-up last time.”
“Is aunt okay?”
“She’s alright. By the way, do you remember my mom? She called you to eat several times, but you never went.”
“I was afraid that if I went, I’d be considered a real future son-in-law and wouldn’t be able to escape.”“Who cares about you!”
“But aren’t you interested in me?”
The two arrived at the emergency department and met Bai Xiaoxiao, who was anxious and nervous.
“Xu… Lin, thank you for coming.”
“It’s okay, just relax. Everything will be fine. How is your mother?”
“When she was brought to the hospital, she was already slightly conscious. She’s currently undergoing examination.”
“That means there’s no serious danger. What about your father?”
“I went to see him. He’s in the orthopedic department. His coworkers covered the expenses, and he’s undergoing surgery. He fell from a scaffold and broke his lower leg and ankle.”
“Do you have enough money for your mother’s treatment? I have some here. Let me help you pay.”
“Thank you so much…” Bai Xiaoxiao said, her tone suddenly sinking, her body leaning back abruptly, and Xu Lin quickly caught her.
But under the light, he noticed that she seemed to have turned much paler, but he didn’t dwell on it, helping her to her seat.
“I told you to eat properly, didn’t you listen to me?”
“Just… who is this?”
In her haste, Bai Xiaoxiao hadn’t noticed that there was a beautiful woman beside Xu Lin.
“Su Qingwan.”
She didn’t mention that she was a teacher, just nodded gently at her and sat down next to her.
“You should take the opportunity to check your health too.”
“No, really… I don’t want to cause more trouble.”
“Bai Xiaoxiao!” Xu Lin glared at her, and she immediately lowered her head.
“Don’t be mad at me, I really… don’t need it.”
“Never mind, let’s see how your mother is doing first.”
After waiting for half an hour like this, they also received news that Bai Xiaoxiao’s mother was not in serious condition. Just due to excessive mental anxiety and poor physical condition she fainted.
The hospital said she could stay for observation for two days, but now her overall condition is not very good, so it’s better to stay overnight and rest.
But Mother Bai insisted on leaving the hospital, saying she was fine, and staying overnight would incur treatment, examination, and IV costs, how could that be!
But in the end, it was Xu Lin and Su Qingwan who persuaded her for a long time, and finally prepaid 10,000 yuan. They said not to worry about the expenses for now, just to let her settle down.
Soon, Xu Lin followed Bai Xiaoxiao to Father Bai’s side. The surgery had ended, and it was not a very serious fracture. Some colleagues had been taking care of him. When they arrived at the ward, Xu Lin saw Father Bai for the first time.
He was a thin, square-faced, not very tall black man lying on the bed with his leg suspended and wrapped in bandages and plaster.
“Hey, Xiaoxiao is here. Your father is fine now. Who are these two?”
“My classmate Xu Lin and his friend Su Qingwan. I was afraid I can’t take care of my mother by myself. My mother is a bit difficult to handle, so I let her rest first.”
Bai Xiaoxiao intended to mention that her mother was also hospitalized, but she decided to keep it hidden for now, or else her father would surely worry.
“Oh, okay, I’m fine. Don’t stay here tonight, you have to go to school tomorrow!”
“I’ll take a leave of absence.”
“No! I work hard to earn money for you to study well!”
“But you…”
“Xiaoxiao, we uncles are here, don’t worry!” Several colleagues hurriedly said, but Bai Xiaoxiao still looked worried.
“Alright, go back and take care of your mother. I have money for hospitalization, you don’t need to worry about anything, okay?”
“But…”
“There’s nothing to argue about. Thank you both for your help, take her back.”
“Bai Xiaoxiao?” Xu Lin glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao, and she nodded in the end.
Several people left the ward, and Father Bai’s colleagues also looked at him.
“You, this guy, your daughter cares about you so much.”
“She just needs to study well. You guys don’t need to be here.”
“The nurse is a woman. It’s more convenient for us to stay if you go to the toilet.”
“You guys should go back and rest too.” Father Bai frowned.
“We have nothing to do. But that young man just now, your son-in-law?”
“What?!” Father Bai widened his eyes.
“Look at you like this, who would dare to be your son-in-law.”
“She’s still young. She just needs to focus on studying now.”
“That boy is quite handsome, but the girl next to him is also pretty enough.”
“Hey, you old man, stop staring around all the time!”
“Haha!”
Three people walked outside. Bai Xiaoxiao planned to return to her mother’s place, but her wrist was grabbed by Xu Lin.
“You need to go for a check-up.”
“I really don’t need to.”
“You must.”
“Just go, it won’t cost much for the check-up, and some of it can be reimbursed.”
“But…”
“Let’s go.” Xu Lin continued to stare at her, making her nod quickly.
“Why are you scaring the girl?” Su Qingwan pinched his ear and said softly.
“If I don’t, she won’t listen!”
“Well, I didn’t expect Bai Xiaoxiao to be quite pretty. In the photos, she looks dark and thin.”
“Teacher Su, why do you have that look? I have no intentions at all, it’s purely out of kindness.”
“Understood, understood.”
Su Qingwan didn’t quite believe it. Although she had been eating just now, she could feel Xu Lin’s mother’s attitude towards Ji Yun and Chu Qingchan was a bit problematic.
That completely felt like the feeling towards a daughter-in-law. She couldn’t help but think of that question again, whether Xu Lin had something to do with Chu Fengyi.
If so, wouldn’t the both sisters be… Xu Lin, this guy, is such a scumbag. But he managed to save herself from a scumbag…
“What’s wrong with you? If you have something to say, just say it.”
Xu Lin looked at Su Qingwan’s rapidly changing expression, suddenly feeling that she wanted to ask him something.
“Xu Lin, tell me, are you seeing someone else?”
“How could that be.”
Xu Lin quickly replied while thinking, ‘I don’t have any relationship confirmed now, it could be 12 in the future, so this answer is not wrong.’
Su Qingwan stared at Xu Lin’s eyes, dark and clear, without blinking or avoiding. She nodded again, seeming to be satisfied with the answer.
“No… Then how do you have the scent of that blonde girl on you?”
“Hmm? You mean Chu Fengyi?”
“Yes.”
“She’s my master, the scent stayed after she beat me.”
“She’s your master… oh, I remember, she knows martial arts, right?”
“Yeah.”
At this moment, Su Qingwan suddenly felt relieved, her lungs clear with air and revealed a smile.
“Alright, but pay a bit more attention, don’t smell so fragrant all over. Especially when you have a girlfriend in the future, you can’t do this.”
“Okay.” Xu Lin pretended to nod awkwardly, while secretly giving himself a thumbs up in his heart, thinking, playing the honest guy, I’m really good at it!
