CH 13.1

Chapter 13. 1 - Luckily

Bo’ai Hospital was a top private hospital that provided high-end medical services, and its security was also very strict. So when Su Yan ran in, she was stopped by the security guards, who demanded her show a verification certificate to enter the hospital.

Su Yan was very confused, and she said that she had not come to visit any family members or meet a doctor but wanted to go to the security department to find someone.

One of the security guards looked at her suspiciously and took the walkie-talkie to contact his colleague. Knowing about the incident, the security guard said to Su Yan: "Wait here now, someone is coming to pick you up."

"Who is it?" Su Yan asked suspiciously.

She felt that Xie Yu would come, but the last person she wanted to see was Xie Yu. She didn’t want to meet him because she would have nightmares again.

However, the security guard replied, "I don't know."

So Su Yan waited with eggs boiling in her heart.

Su Yan watched the setting sun with anxiety, thinking about her brother. While waiting, she wanted to turn and leave quickly, fearing she would meet Xie Yu. But how could she leave, leaving her brother here?

After some time, a man came to pick her up; fortunately, the person who came to pick her up was not Xie Yu, but a middle-aged man in a suit.

Su Yan also knew the person who came; he was Xie Yu's uncle, Xie Heshan, and then she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the person who came was not Xie Yu, she would be able to face it calmly.

Xie Heshan, who was over fifty, kept a tall and slim figure, unlike other fifty-year-old men with bear bellies.

"Yan Yan." He smiled kindly and greeted her.

Su Yan couldn't remain ignorant, despite the fact that she now disliked the members of Xie's family. Since her brother was still in their care, she could only choose to say, "Uncle Xie," in a respectful manner.

"Come with me." Xie Heshan said to Su Yan.

"En." Su Yan nodded and quickly followed Uncle Xie Yu's footsteps.

Xie Heshan led her to a certain long corridor on the east side of the hall.

The Bo'ai Hospital's inpatient section was quieter than the outpatient portion. Even though it was still evening, visiting hours for family and friends had long since ended. In the entire building, there were hardly any people walking about, much less in this long corridor.

In the entire corridor, only Su Yan and Xie Heshan were present.

Su Yan was so anxious that she wanted to rush straight to the security room, but Xie Heshan wasn't moving fast at all; instead, he was strolling along peacefully as though having a walk after dinner. Su Yan couldn't urge him, so she was forced to go after him. As they approached the center of the hallway, Xie Heshan abruptly looked at her face and said, "Xiaoyu is uneducated, and you have been wronged."

His tone was full of concern and distress.

Su Yan said, neither humbling nor domineering: "Me and Xie Yu are completely over." Su Yan also believed that he was going to speak up for Xie Yu.

Xie Heshan halted in his tracks and gave Su Yan a tender gaze before saying, "You are a good girl. Someone greater will adore you.

Su Yan was startled, took a step back unconsciously, and cast a wary glance at Xie Heshan.

Xie Heshan approached her with a friendly demeanour and said, "Yanyan, in truth, uncle has admired you for a long time, but why... " He then reached out to stroke her cheek. 

Before Xie Heshan could finish speaking, Su Yan violently pushed him away due to her nausea, then turned around and ran back to the hall as if fleeing for her life, and subconsciously took out her mobile phone, wanting to call Bai Xingfan.

However, she hesitated a moment before clicking the call button.

'He is not a relative or a close friend. What qualifications do you have to tell him to get involved in this muddy water? Not long ago, she even rejected his offer.

After only a few moments of hesitation, she made a new choice and put down the phone decisively.

She was disgusted by that beast, Xie Heshan; therefore, her stomach was still twitching. She fought the temptation to throw up and turned to face the direction she had come from.

Xie Heshan walked over step by step with a calm expression as if nothing had happened.

She then went in search of her younger brother. She walked to the service desk in the lobby, where fortunately there was a nurse on duty, and asked the nurse for directions to the security room.

The security room, according to the nurse, was located on the west side of the hall at the end of the corridor.

Su Yan's stomach jerked once more, making her feel extremely uncomfortable, as she realized that Xie Heshan had just taken her to the east corridor.

It took some time for her to inquire for instructions, and just as she was about to say "thank you" to the on-duty nurse, Xie Heshan approached her once more while keeping a gentlemanly and open demeanor.

Su Yan clenched her teeth and walked away.

"Your brother seriously hurt Xiaoyu, his mother is not a fuel-efficient person; she would absolutely not let you go," Xie Heshan said as he trailed after in a confrontational manner.

"Barefoot is not scared of wearing shoes. What more do I have to fear now? At worst, we will die together. Let's go to the security room together," said Su Yan, moving fast forward without turning her head.

Without being able to express himself, Xie Heshan furiously and unwillingly stared at Su Yan's back, wanting to pierce her with his eyes.
