“Go and take a look at her for me.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ye Qingqiu disappeared with that person before retracting her gaze.

They were familiar with each other. Why did she argue with Li Tingshen because of him?

Xiao Xu.

Li Tingshen’s other assistant.

“Grandpa, take care of yourself.”

After such a huge incident, the Old Master was bedridden and there was a family doctor at home. She had yet to return to visit him.

“I’m fine. Go and check on Xu’er. I heard that her condition isn’t good.”

“Grandpa.” Ye Qingqiu stood up and walked to the railing. She looked at the people coming and going. “Brother Ye Ze is dead.”

There was a long silence on the other end of the line.

Ye Qingqiu’s fair and slender hand gripped the rusty railing tightly as she spoke calmly.

“If Lian Lili and Liang Xuer didn’t have to waste so much time back then, we would have boarded the rescue plane earlier… It wouldn’t have taken long, even if it was a minute earlier… No, maybe 30 seconds, or even 10 seconds… We wouldn’t have made it in time for the explosion, and Brother Ye Ze wouldn’t have left me.”

The old man’s low and turbid voice sounded helpless and choked. “Qingqiu…”

“Grandpa, do you know what kind of existence Ye Ze is to me? He’s like air. When he’s by my side, I don’t think he’s important, but after he left…”

Liang Xuer was her grandfather’s granddaughter.

So was she.

But if Lian Lili hadn’t spent so much time with Liang Xuer, Brother Ye Ze wouldn’t have died.

After a long pause, Ye Qingqiu took a deep breath and said, “Alright… I’ll help you take a look at Liang Xuer.”

After hanging up, Ye Qingqiu put away her phone and walked into the hospital expressionlessly.

Not long after Xiao Xu entered Liang Xuer’s ward, Ye Qingqiu arrived.

Xiao Chu was carrying fruits and lunch.

The two people behind Ye Qingqiu automatically stood by the door and did not enter the ward with her.

Lian Lili was in Liang Xuer’s ward. She looked haggard and her eyes were swollen.

She sat by Liang Xuer’s bed and took the pear from Xiao Xu. She started peeling it from the end. Then, she heard a knock on the door and turned to see Ye Qingqiu.

Before Xiao Xu could react, Lian Lili had already stood up from her chair and looked at her warily.

“What are you doing here?”

Xiao Xu walked out of the ward silently.

When it came to matters between women, especially when it concerned love and hatred, it was better for him to stay out of it.

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips lightly and said, “Madam Lian, Liang Xuer has the blood of the Ye family flowing in her. In fact, I’m closer to her than you are. Why do you think I’m here?”

As she spoke, she had already walked to the bed.

Her gaze landed on the tightly wrapped person on the bed.

Only her eyes and mouth were exposed.

Her mouth was still dry.

Her bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred. It was as if she had gathered all her strength into her eyes and wanted to tear her into pieces.

Ye Qingqiu suddenly smiled and said, “Grandpa isn’t in good health, so he called me to visit you. Yes… I’m here to visit you. I want to see how miserable you are. Your entire body is burned and your face is disfigured. Your leg has just recovered and you’re lying on the hospital bed. Ha, what’s the point of living like this?”

“Ye Qingqiu, do you have any humanity? That’s your cousin. Do you want her to die that badly?!”

Lian Lili couldn’t help but tremble in anger.

Her voice exploded in his ears, but Ye Qingqiu remained unmoved. Her gaze was fixed on Liang Xuer.

Through the layers of bandages on her face, her eyes looked funny and pitiful.

But at this moment, his eyes were still glaring at her, as though he was afraid that she didn’t know that he hated her.

“Why are you glaring at me like that? Did Brother Ye Ze and I choose to go up and save an ingrate? Liang Xuer, do you think you’re born to be a jinx? Why is everyone around you unlucky?”

Liang Xuer’s lips trembled. “You… are the one…”

Those few words sounded unpleasant and seemed to have affected her injuries. Tears welled up in her eyes.

The smile on Ye Qingqiu’s face gradually turned cold.

“If you didn’t return to the Ye family, Liang Xuer, too many things wouldn’t have happened. I wouldn’t have met you and Li Tingshen. The two of you are no different from cats and dogs to me…”

“Ye Qingqiu!” Lian Lili suddenly shouted angrily, “Don’t you think it’s funny when you say that? Xu’er and Tingshen are nobodies? Who are you? Have you forgotten how you pestered Tingshen back then?”

Hearing this, Ye Qingqiu turned her head slowly. Her indifferent and cold gaze stunned Lian Lili and she took two steps back.

“What do you want?”

“Is there something wrong with your brains?” Ye Qingqiu said, “Do you not understand human language or are you deliberately arguing with me? Everyone knows what I know about Li Tingshen. He always thinks that I’m heartless, but why do I feel that you guys are the most heartless people?”

“You…”

“Do you think you still have the life to stand here and argue with me if we didn’t save you? I don’t ask you to be grateful to us, but did your self-proclaimed superior upbringing eat your gratitude?”

Lian Lili paused, the anger in her eyes obvious.

“You saved us? Weren’t you the one who destroyed the Li Corporation and wanted to please me so that I wouldn’t stop you from being with Tingshen? Otherwise, how would you have the heart to risk your life to save us? What a joke! If you didn’t come up, we wouldn’t have been able to make it in time for the explosion and Xu’er wouldn’t have become like this! You still have the cheek to come to me to claim credit? I haven’t even settled the score with you!”

Ye Qingqiu found it ridiculous.

How twisted was a person’s humanity and morals to be so ungrateful and unable to distinguish right from wrong?

She turned around slowly and narrowed her eyes dangerously as she took two steps towards her. “If we didn’t come, Liang Xuer wouldn’t even be in her current state. There’s only one outcome for you and her, and that is to be burned to a crisp!”

Lian Lili seemed to be frightened and her shoulders shrank.

“Lian Lili, I didn’t expect you to be grateful to me, but you have to know that Brother Ye Ze saved your lives! So you can’t deny it. No matter how you live in the future, you have to live with gratitude to Brother Ye Ze! If it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t have died…”

Death?

There was a minute of silence in the ward. “Dead? Ha…”

Lian Lili’s cold laughter made Ye Qingqiu’s temples throb.

“What does his death have to do with us? Doesn’t he deserve it?”
