Ye Yanxi had been listening to Lin Rui with a cold face. But when he said that Xiao Yu had had an accident at the construction site, her heart inexplicably clenched tightly.
She had also been hit by a slab when she was a child. It was Big Brother who had blocked it for her and borne most of the weight of the slab. She knew that feeling well.
The pain of being confined by the body, the helplessness. Even now, just thinking about it would make her feel a tingling pain on her back.
Xiao Yu had been hit by a falling slab from the ceiling. She didn't know how serious his injury was, but she felt a strange sense of worry.
Her hand holding the cup trembled slightly.
Seeing that Ye Yanxi didn't say anything, Lin Rui simply gave her the address on his own: "This is the address of the hospital!"
After saying that, Lin Rui turned around and left resolutely without caring whether Ye Yanxi would go or not.
"Wait a minute." Ye Yanxi finally came to her senses. "How serious is his injury?"
Hearing this, Lin Rui let out a sneer from his nose: "So you do care about him?"
After that, Lin Rui left without saying another word, leaving Ye Yanxi standing there, tightly clutching the note.
During the afternoon work, Ye Yanxi didn't even know how she got through it. Her mind was in a daze, constantly thinking about what Lin Rui had said. Imagining the scene of Xiao Yu being hit by the slab made her feel flustered.
The fact that Xiao Yu had an accident was largely because of her.
She felt extremely guilty about what Lin Rui had said, but this was also something she didn't want to see.
At almost five o'clock, Ye Yanxi thought that waiting any longer would only make her more tormented. So she finished her materials in advance and handed them to Sister Yang. Then she told Sister Yang and left the company early.
Sister Yang was always quite satisfied with Ye Yanxi. So when Ye Yanxi made the request and seeing her anxious face, she agreed without a second thought.
It wasn't time to get off work yet, so there were few people in the elevator. She took the elevator all the way in a hurry towards the first - floor lobby. After leaving the company, she didn't hesitate at all and hailed a taxi. Then she told the driver the address of the hospital where Xiao Yu was, and rushed there in a hurry.
The journey was smooth all the way. When she arrived at the hospital, she subconsciously looked at the time. It was only 5:20. Fortunately, it wasn't the rush - hour yet, and the traffic wasn't congested.
Looking at the ward number on the note, Ye Yanxi headed straight for the inpatient department. Just as she reached the floor of Xiao Yu's ward, she saw several high - level executives of the Xiao Group standing anxiously in front of the ward. They all looked terrified and were whispering to each other.
She didn't need to look to know which ward was Xiao Yu's.
But seeing so many high - level executives of the company, Ye Yanxi felt a bit dazed. Why had she rushed here on a whim?
There were so many high - level executives standing here. Obviously, she wasn't needed. And what was her identity to come and see him? Moreover, the relationship between her and Xiao Yu couldn't be known by others.
Ye Yanxi stood at the elevator entrance and took a look, then was about to turn back the way she came.
Just as she turned around and pressed the elevator button, Fang Xu walked out of another elevator, also looking in a hurry.
When they met, Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Translator Ye, are you also here to see the president?"
Suddenly being exposed, Ye Yanxi felt a bit embarrassed on her face. She quickly waved her hand: "No, I just came here for something. I'll leave first!"
Fang Xu glanced at the many people standing outside the ward in the corridor. A sudden idea came to his mind. He stuffed all the documents in his hand into Ye Yanxi's arms: "Help me hold these. I can't carry them all."
"..." Ye Yanxi wanted to return the documents to Fang Xu, but Fang Xu left a word and walked towards the ward.
Can't carry them all? Looking at Fang Xu with one hand free, Ye Yanxi felt quite speechless.
She lingered there for a long time. Fang Xu took a few steps and saw that Ye Yanxi didn't follow. He turned back and smiled: "What are you standing there for? You're my assistant now. Hurry up and follow me."
Assistant? Ye Yanxi silently repeated the word in her heart.
Then she suddenly realized that right, now she was Fang Xu's assistant. Then couldn't she go to Xiao Yu's ward openly?
After hesitating for a while, Ye Yanxi still followed Fang Xu. In front of the ward, the high - level executives of the company saw a woman following Fang Xu, but they didn't say anything.
Fang Xu casually asked: "How is the president now?"
A high - level executive with a worried look on his face immediately rushed to say: "Since the president was hospitalized, he hasn't allowed anyone to touch him. Now not even a drip has been put in. It's so hot. If the wound gets inflamed, it will be a big problem."
While they were still standing outside listening to them talking, suddenly Xiao Yu's angry shout came from the ward: "Get out! All of you get out!"
The high - level executives standing outside looked at each other, their faces even more anxious.
Inside the ward, a nurse was about to insert a needle into Xiao Yu's hand. She was so frightened by Xiao Yu's roar that her face turned pale and she stepped back again and again. Another woman who seemed to be the head nurse was relatively calm: "Mr. Xiao, if you don't treat the wound and take medicine, the wound may get inflamed, and your arm may be in trouble."
Fang Xu motioned to Ye Yanxi, then walked into the ward. Ye Yanxi naturally followed in quickly.
"President, I heard that you were injured, so I rushed here non - stop." Fang Xu shouted as soon as he entered, as if he was afraid that others couldn't hear.
Xiao Yu was already in a bad mood. He looked up and was about to get angry, but saw Ye Yanxi following Fang Xu. His eyes narrowed, and most of the frown on his brow relaxed.
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Yu asked coldly.
Although he was talking to Fang Xu, Ye Yanxi clearly felt that Xiao Yu's gaze had been on her, as if he was talking to her.
Fang Xu had always been quite thick - skinned and his mouth was often unrestrained: "President, I heard that you were injured at the construction site, so I rushed here... Oh, your arm is so seriously injured!"
As soon as Ye Yanxi entered the door, she saw Xiao Yu's arm. His white shirt was all stained with blood. One sleeve had been cut off, and the area from his forearm to his shoulder was covered in blood. She couldn't see the wound clearly, and there was no dressing at all.
Seeing how seriously he was injured, Ye Yanxi felt really bad. A surge of guilt welled up in her heart.
Xiao Yu stared straight at her from beginning to end and didn't say anything else.
Fang Xu had been with Xiao Yu for many years, and his eyesight was extremely good. Seeing Xiao Yu's expression, he quickly pushed Ye Yanxi forward with his hand: "Translator Ye, don't you think the president's injury is so serious that it needs to be treated immediately?"
Shouldn't they be talking to the nurse about treating the wound? Why was he pushing her out?
Being pushed out mercilessly by Fang Xu, Ye Yanxi had no choice but to say in a low voice: "Yes, it needs to be treated immediately."
The nurse beside them saw that they seemed to have reached an agreement. Looking at Xiao Yu again, he didn't seem as resistant as before. So she prepared to insert the needle into him again. This time, Xiao Yu surprisingly didn't refuse. Instead, he cooperated with the nurse to treat the wound and hang the drip.
The executives outside the door couldn't help but feel amazed. They had persuaded for so long, almost breaking their lips, but Xiao Yu remained unmoved and didn't allow anyone to touch him. However, Ye Yanxi had said no more than ten words since she entered the door, and Xiao Yu had obediently complied.
Ye Yanxi watched as the nurse slowly cleaned the impurities around the wound on his arm. The blood - stained cotton made Ye Yanxi feel dizzy. Just then, her phone rang.
Seeing that it was He Chuyan on the screen, Ye Yanxi just remembered that she had an appointment with He Chuyan to go house - hunting after work.
The people standing outside the door blocked the doorway. It was not convenient for her to go out, so she shrank into the corner and then answered the phone: "Yanyan."
"Sorry. Just let the landlord wait for a while. I have something to deal with here."
But just as Ye Yanxi finished saying this, Xiao Yu, who had been cooperating well with the doctor's treatment, suddenly pushed the little nurse away and simply pulled out the drip from his hand.
Instantly, blood gushed out along Xiao Yu's arm and splashed on the snow - white bedsheet, blooming into many dazzling and bright red flowers.
The nurse let out a scream and immediately reached out to press on his blood vessel, but Xiao Yu stubbornly shook the nurse off and let the blood splash all over the floor.
Seeing the commotion over there, Ye Yanxi was also stunned. She didn't care that she was still on the phone and rushed over to press on Xiao Yu's bleeding arm.
Xiao Yu's hand was firmly pressed by Ye Yanxi, and this time he didn't resist anymore.
Soon, Ye Yanxi's hand was also stained red with blood. It took her a long time to find the place where the nurse had inserted the needle just now, and then she pressed hard on it with her finger.
Finally, the blood was stopped.
This scene made the high - level executives outside the ward tremble with fear, and they all rushed into the ward.
The blood stopped flowing, and the nurse was in a hurry to wipe the bloodstains on Xiao Yu with cotton balls.
Ye Yanxi's phone in her bag was still on a call. She could hear He Chuyan shouting loudly over there. Ye Yanxi then picked up the phone again.
She felt Xiao Yu's gaze on the hand holding the phone. That gaze was like that of a wild beast about to devour her alive.
"Yanyan." Ye Yanxi picked up the phone, and her hand was a bit shaky.
He Chuyan on the other end kept asking Ye Yanxi what was going on.
Under Xiao Yu's dark and dangerous gaze, Ye Yanxi's heart was pounding. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said to He Chuyan: "Yanyan, I'm sorry. I won't go house - hunting today. Something has happened here, and I can't leave."
He Chuyan still wanted to ask what exactly had happened, but Ye Yanxi just told her not to ask. Finally, after they agreed, Xiao Yu still stared at her until she hung up the phone.
The head nurse was complaining a bit that this patient, Xiao Yu, was so uncooperative, but at the same time, she quickly re - inserted the drip for him and continued to treat the wound.
Xiao Yu's gaze never left Ye Yanxi's face, which made Ye Yanxi feel really creepy.
After the wound was finally treated, they heard Xiao Yu's cold voice: "This woman looks quite pleasing to the eye. Just let her stay. The rest of you can leave!"
Seeing that Xiao Yu finally cooperated with the treatment, the high - level executives were relieved. Then they left the ward one after another.
Ye Yanxi's mind was constantly echoing Xiao Yu's words. What did it mean that she looked pleasing to the eye, so she was left?
What a stupid reason!
Fang Xu was the last one to leave. Looking at Ye Yanxi, his eyes were both mischievous and funny: "Translator Ye, you should take good care of the president. I'm leaving too."
She watched helplessly as Fang Xu walked out of the ward gracefully. God knows she also wanted to follow him.
She had just taken a few hesitant steps when Xiao Yu's voice from behind seemed to come from the Ten Hells of Yama. It was full of commands that couldn't be refused and was still exuding a cold air: "Come here!"
