Chapter 124 - Waiting at the Hospital (3)
Li Jinyuan stood up and let him through. “Alright. You can go now.”
Huo Chengming gave him a kick on his butt and said, “Now get!”
Young Master Nan could only say another “god*mn” to himself. All this for love!
After Young Master Nan was gone, Huo Chengming had the chauffeur start the car again.
Li Jinyuan suddenly looked at him and said, “You seemed to have to change a bit.”
He was more gangster-like the way he acted.
Huo Chengming returned a nonchalant look. “Haven’t you too?”
Li Jinyuan smiled. “I guess you are right.”
The two had an understanding and didn’t elaborate further on their recent activities.
Li Jinyuan looked more serious and said in a deep voice, “I don’t think this is the reason why Huanhuan returned to our home country.”
“Then it must be something even more serious,” said Huo Chengming and frowned.
Lin Jinyuan suggested, “Maybe we should just call her and see where she is now?”
Huo Chengming kept his lips shut tightly.
Li Jinyuan said, “…. Godd*mn it! Are you really that stubborn and still insisting on this surprise?” Li Jinyuan finally slipped and cursed. After he had finished cursing, he even felt a sense of superiority. Man, he is way more straight-lace than I am! How could he be so stubborn on such a cliché idea!
Huo Chengming frowned. “Okay. Let’s wait till the morning. We’ll call her in the morning.”
Li Jinyuan rebutted, “I’ll call her.”
“No, I will call her.”
“No, I will call.”
No, I will...”
Chauffeur: “……”
Li Jinyuan squinted, “You called last time.”
Huo Chengming: “….. Sh*t. Fine! Then you call! Whatever!”
After Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming returned to the hotel, the thought of the call weighed down on them and they barely got any sleep. The next morning, Li Jinyuan woke up early, got dressed, and made the call to Zhong Yuhuan cleanly and tidily as though he was performing some sort of a ritual.
“Huanhuan.”
Yeah?” Zhong Yuhuan’s voice coming from the other end sounded a little tired.
“Where are you?” asked Li Jinyuan.
“At the hospital,” said Zhong Yuhuan instinctively.
After that, she paused for a little bit and said, “You guys didn’t return too, did you?”
“Which hospital?” asked Li Jinyuan, avoiding the questions.
Zhong Yuhuan gave him the address, resigned.
Li Jinyuan, “Wait for me there, Huanhuan.”
He hung up after that.
Huo Chengming thought; what do you mean by ‘Wait for me, Huanhuan’? Shouldn’t she be waiting for us?” ****, did he not have a name?
Li Jinyuan, again, applied his skill of avoidance. “Let’s go.”
Huo Chengming wasn’t exactly in the mood to be petty about the details either. The two of them turned, rushed down the stairs, and headed toward the hospital.
Zhong Chi was still in ICU.
Zhong Yuhuan had been up all night and was fairly tired.
Even more tired than her was Xu Yunhui and her daughter. Xu Yunhui’s face that was propped up by expensive skin care products was now visibly aged and swollen. The same could be said about Xu Yushan. The two of them had worried all night long; that was a lot more damaging than just one sleepless night.
Zhong Yuhuan went downstairs to get some breakfast and also to wait for Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming.
She called Lang Jinzhi as she was on her way downstairs to see where he was.
As soon as Zhong Yuhuan stepped into the elevator, a crying girl also ran inside and even bumped into her.
Outside of the elevator, someone shouted, “Awesome! Just awesome! Ling Zhilan, you ungrateful piece of sh*t! You wouldn’t even save your own brother! Get out! You get the hell out!”
Zhong Yuhuan paused for a second. Her brain even blanked out for a brief second.
Zhong Yuhuan couldn’t help but turn and look at the girl.
The girl has on a pony tail and the most popular short sleeves and pants from Taobao. Her style wasn’t outstanding and even a little bit outdated, but she was elegantly pretty. Her lips were pressed together tightly, her look was stubborn, and her eyes sparked.
….. This was the original female lead!
This was the scene right after the original female lead was reborn in the original novel!
Had she not heard the name out of the blue, Zhong Yuhuan had almost completely forgotten about the female lead’s existence!
