"Then Shuang'er, are we being hypocritical on the inside?"
Ella looked at Mrs. Liu, smiled and said, "I didn't say that. Grandma Wu, please don't misinterpret my meaning, and don't make mistakes."
"I never mince my words, I speak directly if I have something to say. Just don't take it personally. I have no ill intentions and I have no intention of targeting any of these grandmothers."
She suddenly became so well-behaved that several people didn't know what to say for a moment.
The anger she had just aroused was instantly blocked in her throat, unable to rise or fall.
"Now that you've finished reading, grandma, can you go back?" Ella immediately chased them away.
But her tone was gentle, and even if they wanted to say something, they didn't know what to say.
"Ayuan, let's go back first, and you can take good care of your injuries." The old lady from the second room said.
Ling Xiyuan smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Ella looked at the second wife, the old lady, and smiled, "Second wife, walk slowly."
The second wife looked at her with a kind smile.
Then he got up and left.
Then, the people in the third and fifth rooms also left.
Ella took a deep breath and said, "The air feels a lot fresher."
Ling Xiyuan looked at her, smiled fondly and said: "You kid, why did you suddenly start arguing with people today? Although you didn't like to get along with them in the past, you wouldn't start talking to them like you did today. Damn it, did someone make you unhappy?"
Ella pulled a chair aside and sat down.
She looked at her mother and said: "No, I just don't want to tolerate it anymore. In the past, I was too lazy to talk to them, and I didn't want to cause trouble and implicate you and dad. But now I find that the more I tolerate them, the more I tolerate them. , causing them to have the illusion that our family is easy to bully. In the past, when their brother was around, they were somewhat restrained, but in these years, they have become more and more complacent when they see that their brother has not improved. You are also hurt now. , then of course I can no longer pretend that nothing has happened."
Ling Xiyuan looked at her, feeling not only proud but also feeling sorry for her.
Originally, the couple just wanted her to be a carefree child and do whatever she liked.
The reason why they rarely let her participate in the affairs of the Helan family is to protect her.
But since her son's accident, she was still involved after all.
The couple didn't know when their son would wake up. If anything happened to them, Ling Shuang would have no one to rely on. They could only choose to let her become stronger on her own, although not necessarily. You have to be like your eldest son, but you still have to have at least the ability to protect yourself.
And their daughter did not disappoint them. She did have the ability to protect herself.
The couple were relieved.
Now that there is Ye Jiuqing behind her, it is equivalent to double protection.
Ella didn't tell her parents what she had recently discovered, mainly because she didn't want them to worry.
It won’t be too late for me to wait until I have the final result.
She had not been in the ward for long when Ye Jiuqing came.
"mom."
He shouted to Ling Xiyuan.
To be honest, Ella didn't like him like this very much.
But her mother liked it very much.
Ling Xiyuan looked at him with a kind face and responded: "Jiu Qing is here, sit down quickly, Shuang'er has just arrived."
"Okay, Mom."
"Actually, you don't need to come see me often. I have caregivers, nurses and doctors here, and your dad is usually here too, but he has something to do today and has returned to the company. If you are busy, you don't have to run to me every day. "Ling Xiyuan said.
Just as Ella was about to speak, Ye Jiuqing beat her to it and said, "Mom, it's okay, I'm not very busy."
In fact, Ye Jiuqing is very unfamiliar with the term "mother" because he was raised by his adoptive father since he was a child. In his world, the word mother has never existed.
But when he called Ling Xiyuan, he felt a sense of intimacy in her.
At first, he thought he would never have the chance to say this name in his life, but he didn't expect...
He glanced at Ella sitting aside.
Ella happened to be looking at him too, and the two of them looked at each other off guard.
She coughed lightly and immediately looked away.
Did she just see it wrong?
How could she see the word "affectionate" in the eyes of this cold and heartless man?
She was frightened and panicked for a moment, and then shook her head. She must have seen it wrong. She must have seen it wrong.
Ling Xiyuan saw her looking absent-minded and shaking her head, so she asked worriedly: "Shuang'er, what's wrong with you? Is your head uncomfortable?"
Hearing this, Ye Jiuqing immediately asked, "If you feel uncomfortable, I will accompany you to have a look now. It just so happens that this is a hospital."
Ella waved her hand, "It's okay, don't make a fuss, I'm fine."
"Then what's wrong with you? Why do I feel that your face doesn't look very good?" Ye Jiuqing asked.
"It's okay, I just thought of something at work."
She casually said something perfunctory.
In the meantime, the doctor checked Ling Xiyuan's body and found that there was nothing serious and she just needed to rest.
He Lanxun came back just at noon.
"Okay, you guys should hurry up and have lunch. Your dad will take care of me here." Ling Xiyuan looked at the two of them and said.
Ella stood up and said jokingly: "Okay, then we won't hinder your husband and wife's world."
Ling Xiyuan pretended to be angry and said: "You kid, what are you talking about?"
Ella shrugged, picked up her bag and left.
When Ye Jiuqing saw this, he said hello to Helan and his wife: "Mom and Dad, let's go first."
Ling Xiyuan smiled and nodded, "Go ahead."
Immediately, the man followed.
"Why is Madam smiling so happily?" He Lanxun was looking at Ling Xiyuan lovingly and asked.
She turned her head and looked at him and said, "Jiu Qing's kid looks pretty good. Although I don't know why these two kids got married all of a sudden, it seems like they are a good match now."
He Lanxun nodded and said: "This kid is indeed pretty good. Although I have heard in the past that he is ruthless and cold-blooded, this may also be related to his environment. After all, he did not grow up in a perfect family. He can be what he is today. His character is already pretty good.”
Ling Xiyuan sighed: "Yes, this child is indeed a pitiable and distressed child, and his nature is not bad. As long as he treats Shuang'er well, we don't care about anything else."
"Well, what Madam is saying is that when the child grows up, since she has chosen it, we as parents should understand and support her."
……
the other side.
Ye Jiuqing caught up with Ella at the elevator entrance.
She did walk a little fast, as if she was deliberately avoiding him.
"Why are you walking so fast?"
Ella looked back at him and then looked away.
"I'm hungry. I'll hurry back to eat." She said.
"That's just right. I'm hungry too. I'll treat you to a meal."
Ella looked at the tall man's figure on the elevator wall in front of her and said, "Are you inviting me to dinner?"
Ye Jiuqing: "Why, I can't treat you to dinner?"
Ella laughed: "Not really, it's just a bit surprising. After all, we have known each other for so long, and this is the first time you have taken the initiative to invite me to dinner."
It's funny to say that they have obviously received the certificate and are considered a real couple, but, they don't look like a couple at all.
However, this can not be blamed on anyone.
First, he didn't like her, and second, after getting married, she avoided him alone. To be honest, they didn't really get along for long.
Therefore, it is quite normal to feel strange.
Although they are no longer strangers and are acquaintances, but emotionally, they are strangers.
Ye Jiuqing said without changing his expression: "Then I can invite you to dinner often from now on."
Ella frowned slightly, but didn't think much about it. She replied, "Forget it, I'll go home and eat. I don't like eating from outside."
She wasn't lying. She really liked the food cooked by her aunt at home.
"Then I'll go home with you to eat." He said.
"..."
Seeing that she was ignoring him, Ye Jiuqing found a topic, "I asked Agui to check on Helan Tianyu, and he happened to be reporting to me today."
Ella was a little surprised. Why did he check it?
Besides, why is he checking this?
It can't be because of her, can it?
But she didn't want to be sentimental.
People who have been passionate since ancient times will only get hurt in the end.
She said "Oh" lightly, and then said: "I don't have money to buy the information you checked. If you want to charge money, you don't have to tell me."
Listening to her words, Ye Jiuqing's thin lips formed a faint smile.
"You won't be charged, it's free, but I need a meal."
Ella: "..."
The elevator came and when the door opened, she walked in directly.
The man followed closely and stood next to her.
The two of them were so close that they could rub each other's clothes.
There were obviously not many people in the elevator, and with the two of them, there were only six people, so there was plenty of space.
She ducked to the side, trying to get away from him.
In order not to be disturbed by him again, she finally calmed down.
But as soon as she took a step, he followed suit the next second.
Until she moved until there was no room to move.
She raised her head slightly, looked at him, and whispered: "Why are you so close to me? There are so many places here, and it's not like you can't stand."
He lowered his eyes and stared at her delicate face, and said with an indifferent and serious expression: "I don't like strangers touching me. I have mysophobia."
When he said this, he did not deliberately control the volume, so everyone in the elevator heard it.
In an instant, the four people in the elevator looked at them.
Ella also turned her head away subconsciously, this was so embarrassing!
She saw that he did it on purpose.
Ye Jiuqing didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he glanced at the four people in the elevator and said, "What are you looking at?"
When everyone saw that he looked not to be trifled with, they looked away without saying anything.
……
After getting out of the elevator, Ella walked very fast on stiletto heels. She just wanted to leave quickly.
Ye Jiuqing followed her in stride and grabbed her wrist.
"Wearing high heels, aren't you afraid of your feet getting sprained if you walk so fast?"
Ella turned around, looked at him speechlessly, and said, "Brother, it's not the first time I've walked in high heels. You're worrying too much."
She shook off his hand and continued walking outside the hospital gate.
Ye Jiuqing was about to follow him, but his phone rang and he answered a call.
Ella walked towards the direction where she parked her car, but she was still thinking about those strange words Ye Jiuqing said just now, so she didn't look at the road much.
"what……"
The high heels got stuck in the crack on the roadside.
My foot sprained a bit, but it was okay and not very painful.
She frowned and looked at her feet. This was not the first time she had walked this road. Why did she do it today...
She tried to pull it out, but after a few moves, she couldn't pull it out and it was stuck a little tight.
She was about to take off her shoes and try it with her hands to see if she could pull them out.
Ye Jiuqing came over.
He looked at her and asked, "Why don't you leave? Are you waiting for me?"
Ella: "..."
It's all his fault. If it weren't for his mouth, she wouldn't be so bad today.
Ye Jiuqing saw something was wrong with her expression, and then looked down at her legs.
Then his eyes fell on the heel of her shoe, "Is it sprained on your foot?"
"No, it's just that the heel of the shoe is stuck and can't be pulled out."
As soon as she finished speaking, the man in front of her knelt down.
A warm palm covered her ankle.
Then she saw him untying the shoelaces on her ankles.
Then, she heard the man's deep voice: "Take off your shoes first, you can hold my shoulders."
Ella was stunned for a moment, then obeyed and did as she was told.
He grabbed her foot with one hand and her shoe with the other, and then pulled it out in one fell swoop.
Seeing that he wanted to help her put on her shoes, Ella quickly said, "No, no, I can just wear them myself."
However, the man said solemnly: "Stand still, I won't be responsible if you fall down."
"..."
He neatly helped her put on her shoes and tie them up.
Ella's whole body felt bad, and the throbbing feeling in her heart that she had just suppressed was beginning to rekindle.
In the past, she wouldn't have dared to think of this kind of situation.
No, not only before, but now she doesn't dare to think about it either.
After growing up, no other man has helped her put on her shoes.
"Okay, let's watch the road next time." Ye Jiuqing stood up, looked at her, and then asked again: "Is your foot really not sprained?"
Ella was really overwhelmed by his sudden tenderness and concern.
She even flinched a little.
As for why she was holding back, she didn't know, maybe because it didn't feel real.
She shook her head and said, "No, and thank you."
The man narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Do you still need to be so polite to me?"
Ella glanced at his hand, then took out a wet tissue from her bag and handed it to him.
Ye Jiuqing raised his eyebrows in confusion.
She said: "Don't you have mysophobia? Wipe your hands."
The man curled his thin lips and said, "I just said it casually. Besides, you are not a stranger."
"..."
Ella put the wet wipe away and muttered: "Wrinkle it if you like."
He was surprisingly gentle today, which made her very uncomfortable.
After returning to Helan's house, the housekeeper was really curious when she saw Ye Jiuqing appear again.
She took the opportunity to ask Ella: "Second Miss, what is your relationship with this Young Master Ye?"
The housekeeper was worried that she, an unmarried woman, would bring men back all day long, and then the news would spread to the ears of the people in the house, and she would spread rumors about the second daughter of her family.
Ella knew what she was worried about.
She said: "Aunt Tao, don't worry, what you are thinking will not happen. He is also a family member. His parents and grandpa all know about his existence."
Seeing that she had already said this, the housekeeper didn't ask any more questions.
It's good that the old man knows the situation.
"Okay, second lady."
"Aunt Tao, I'm hungry. Let's eat."
"Okay, I'll go and ask the kitchen people to bring the dishes."
"Well, I'm going to wash my hands."
After lunch.
Ella went back to her room to change into a set of home clothes, and then went downstairs.
Ye Jiuqing was sitting in the living room, and Agui didn't know when he arrived.
Ye Jiuqing sat there as if he was the master of the house, without any sense of disobedience.
"Madam." Agui called her respectfully.
Ella found a comfortable position, picked up the pillow on the side, and nestled in a corner of the sofa.
She looked at Ah Gui and said, "You should just call me Sister Ella. Get used to it."
Agui subconsciously looked at his master, this...how should he answer?
If he agrees to the madam, his master will be unhappy, but if he doesn't agree to the madam, he will offend the madam.
Neither can be pleased with, and neither can be offended.
He was like the filling in a sandwich cookie at the moment, in a dilemma.
It's too difficult for him...
He sighed in his heart, and finally chose to respect Ella.
After all, if no one can be offended, women can't be offended either.
A Gui coughed slightly and said, "Well, Master Jiu, I have some clues about what you asked me to investigate."
