Facts proved that it didn't matter whether she refused or not. Xiao Yu had already strode past Ye Yanxi towards the office door without saying a word. Ye Yanxi could only glare angrily at his back, pick up the notebook on the table, and follow him.
There was no other way. Since she still had his notebook, she had no choice but to follow him to the underground parking lot and finally get into the car.
Originally, Chu Beize, who had been waiting in the first - floor lobby and was sent by Xiao Yu to input data, couldn't bear the long wait after continuously inputting data for an hour. He slipped away on an excuse. At 5:30 p.m., the time to get off work, he was waiting for Ye Yanxi in the lobby.
Xiao Yu asked Xu Bei to drive the car to the hospital. Ye Yanxi was going to visit Ye Junze.
Just as they got out of the car and were walking towards the inpatient department, Ye Yanxi saw the aunt she had met on the bus yesterday again.
There was also a gaudily - dressed teenager beside the aunt. He was snatching the bag from the aunt's hand, and the aunt was shouting and clutching the bag tightly without letting go.
"You can't touch this money."
Ye Yanxi immediately felt indignant. She rushed up, snatched the bag back, and raised her arm to hit the young man.
However, she was suddenly hugged tightly by the aunt. "Don't hit him."
The aunt's unexpected action prevented Ye Yanxi from acting. The teenager also got angry and rushed up to slap Ye Yanxi. Since her arm was held by the aunt, she took the slap full - force. The crisp sound of the slap made her face burn with pain.
When the teenager wanted to hit again, his raised wrist was grabbed. Then there was a "click" sound. Immediately, the teenager's eyes were filled with tears from the pain, and he let out a wail.
The teenager suddenly let out a shrill scream, as if his wrist was broken. At this moment, his wrist was easily bent to an angle of more than seventy degrees by Xiao Yu. However, Xiao Yu didn't relax his grip because of the teenager's painful cries. Soon, the teenager's face turned deathly pale.
"It hurts... Ouch... Let go of me quickly, let me go!" the teenager roared loudly, and used his other hand to tug at Xiao Yu's arm. However, Xiao Yu remained unmoved, and instead increased the strength in his hand. "Ah, my hand is going to break. If you don't let go..."
Seeing this situation, the aunt immediately panicked and let go of Ye Yanxi. She then rushed up and tried to pry open Xiao Yu's hand that was holding the teenager's arm.
"Let him go quickly," the aunt said, looking at the teenager's bent wrist with heartache.
At this time, Ye Yanxi, who had been slapped by the teenager, also came to her senses.
"Auntie, why are you still pleading for him?" The aunt had come to the hospital yesterday, saying that the money was for her husband's treatment.
Yesterday, the money was almost stolen and was only discovered by her. Today, someone was trying to rob her money, but the aunt was pleading for this person.
"She's my mom. It's none of your business. What's wrong with me taking her money?" The teenager endured the pain and stared angrily at Ye Yanxi and Xiao Yu. "This is our family matter. It has nothing to do with you. Do you believe that I'll call the police?"
They were mother and son?
Looking at the aunt again, there seemed to be tears in the corners of her eyes, but she still nodded.
This time, Xiao Yu let go. The teenager immediately hugged his wrist tightly. Because Xiao Yu had used too much strength before, the wrist was deformed, and the pain made his eyes well up with tears.
The aunt felt heart - ache too and immediately stepped forward to check the teenager's wrist.
"Xiaohang, how are you? Is your hand okay?"
The teenager named Xiaohang glared at the aunt fiercely. "You didn't give me the money when I asked for it just now. Now that my hand is broken, are you happy?"
A look of panic flashed across the aunt's eyes instantly, and her eyes were filled with tears. "Xiaohang, let's go to the doctor. Your hand will be okay."
"Okay."
After saying that, the aunt nodded to Ye Yanxi and Xiao Yu. "I'm really sorry just now." Then she dragged Xiaohang's arm and walked towards the outpatient department.
After watching them leave, Xiao Yu walked up to Ye Yanxi.
The sun was setting. In the dim twilight, the clear palm print on Ye Yanxi's face, still flushed red, was still visible.
