Ye Yanxi stood at the stairwell, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. She stared blankly at the black Cayenne gradually disappearing from sight.
From the moment she saw Xiao Yu until now, her heart seemed to have suddenly stopped beating. Her chest felt empty. The wound on her arm was throbbing with sharp pain, but it was nothing compared to the sudden and intense pain in her heart, which almost made her suffocate.
The six bodyguards were all over 1.9 meters tall and must have received special training. If Ye Yanxi weren't a fourth-degree black belt in taekwondo, she would have had no hope of escaping.
The wounds she suffered during the fight with the six bodyguards were now screaming in pain. After a while, Ye Yanxi gently pressed on her chest to check if her heart was still beating. But the touch only brought more intense pain.
It was like being on a boat with friends at sea, and somehow she was left alone. When the storm came, she had to struggle to control the small boat to avoid being submerged by the sea. The feeling of helplessness and despair was overwhelming.
She had also felt helpless and lost at the police station before. It was Xiao Yu who had helped her out of that confusion. But now, she was watching Xiao Yu leave with another person.
Her clothes were torn and stained with blood. She looked extremely disheveled. Ye Yanxi casually took off her coat and threw it away.
Soon, the bodyguards caught up, but they didn't step forward to grab Ye Yanxi. Although there weren't many people in the lobby at the moment, the security guards were around. So they slowed down and followed Ye Yanxi at a distance.
One person had already escaped. If this one got away too, they wouldn't be able to go back to their country alive.
Just as the bodyguards were about to find an opportunity to subdue Ye Yanxi, the elevator dinged. Mrs. He was among the people who came out. She spotted Ye Yanxi at once.
"Xiaoye, you're here too!" Mrs. He was a bit surprised and then called out with a smile.
Ye Yanxi was leaning against the wall, barely raising her head to look in Mrs. He's direction. She accidentally pulled at her wound and broke out in a cold sweat. For a moment, she thought she was hallucinating. Who would call her in this hotel?
The bodyguards saw someone approaching Ye Yanxi, and there were also bodyguards following this person. If they started a fight, things would get out of hand. In the end, they glared at Ye Yanxi resentfully. After exchanging glances, they left.
Because of her injuries, Ye Yanxi wasn't very focused. She had been keeping an eye on the stairs. She took a quick look behind her and saw the black-clad bodyguards leaving. Then she let out a long sigh of relief.
Mrs. He called out, but Ye Yanxi didn't respond. So she walked over to her. Only then did she see that Ye Yanxi was covered in blood. She couldn't help but widen her eyes and exclaimed, "You're injured!"
When Mrs. He walked up to her, Ye Yanxi finally saw who it was. She greeted politely and courteously, "Hello, Mrs. He."
However, she looked so disheveled at the moment. It was quite embarrassing for Ye Yanxi to run into Mrs. He in this situation.
"Sorry."
"Xiaoye, how did you get hurt?" Mrs. He was worried as she watched the blood continuously seeping from Ye Yanxi's arm.
Ye Yanxi was about to say it was okay when Chu Beize, who was following Mrs. He, walked over. He said to Mrs. He, "Aunt He, what's going on?"
Seeing Chu Beize appear, Ye Yanxi didn't want to stay there for a single second. She quickly excused herself from Mrs. He, "Mrs. He, I have to go."
However, she underestimated the severity of her injuries. Her leg had hit the stair railing during the fight, and now she was limping. After taking a few steps, she was about to fall when Mrs. He quickly caught her.
Seeing Ye Yanxi in this state, Mrs. He wasn't going to let her go just like that.
"Beize, come quickly!"
"I can manage on my own. Don't trouble yourself," Ye Yanxi refused.
"You're injured like this. You must go to the hospital for a check-up. I'll take you there right now." After Chu Beize came closer, Mrs. He instructed as she walked out, "Xiaoye can't walk steadily now. Carry her. I'll tell the driver to come to the hotel entrance."
"Okay."
"No need." Ye Yanxi instinctively tried to push Chu Beize away, but after the fight with the bodyguards, she was completely exhausted. Her weak strength was no match for Chu Beize. In the end, Chu Beize picked her up without hesitation. She immediately started struggling violently, "Put me down. I can walk by myself."
"Do you think I want to? I advise you to be good on the way to the hospital. Don't mention our past relationship," Chu Beize threatened, tightening his arm around her.
After hearing this, Ye Yanxi only felt disgust. She didn't even bother to say another word to him.
She felt a bit uncomfortable in Chu Beize's arms and let him carry her out of the hotel.
Just as they reached the hotel entrance, a car sped by. When the driver glanced at the entrance, he suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped not far away.
The person in the car was Chen Moshu. When he saw Ye Yanxi in the man's arms, his eyes almost popped out. And he also recognized that the man was actually Chu Beize.
When he was still very interested in Ye Yanxi, he had someone investigate her. Ye Yanxi had had a boyfriend for seven or eight years, and that was Chu Beize. But... wasn't Chu Beize engaged to Miss He? And hadn't they broken up a long time ago? Why were they together at the hotel?
Wasn't Ye Yanxi with Yu now? At that time, he thought Ye Yanxi and Yu looked like a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
He had been sad about it for a while, but Chen Moshu was always a playboy and didn't really care. Besides, it was his brother who had made the first move, so he could only offer his blessings.
If he hadn't seen this today, he would never have guessed that Ye Yanxi, such a beautiful woman, would do such a thing. She was secretly in touch with her ex-boyfriend behind Yu's back.
The two of them came out of the hotel together, and Chu Beize was holding Ye Yanxi tightly. It was hard not to think wrongly in this situation.
This completely wiped out all the good feelings he had had for Ye Yanxi before.
This woman was so bold as to be two-timing!
What's more, she was his brother's woman. His brother was being cuckolded like this, and Chen Moshu's anger flared up.
He watched for a while, then took out his phone and took a picture of the two of them. It was exactly the scene of Chu Beize carrying Ye Yanxi towards the car.
He was on his brother's side and couldn't let his brother be kept in the dark.
He casually sent the photo to Xiao Yu, along with a series of green hat emojis and a message saying, "Don't thank me too much."
After doing all this, Chen Moshu drove away.
The car Ye Yanxi was in stopped in front of a nearby hospital.
On the way, Mrs. He received a phone call. Since Ye Yanxi was sitting close to her, she could tell it was He Man's voice. He Man seemed very unhappy, "Mom, I just went to the bathroom. Why are you all gone when I came out?"
Mrs. He knew that He Man was hostile towards Ye Yanxi, so she lied, "I had something urgent to do, so I left in Beize's car. You go back first."
"What's so urgent?"
"I'll tell you when I get back. It's about one of my sisters. I'll be back soon, baby. Be good and go home and wait for me."
"Okay."
After arriving at the hospital, thanks to Mrs. He's influence, the hospital quickly arranged for someone to examine Ye Yanxi.
During the examination, Ye Yanxi heard a doctor whispering to another, "There are quite a few big shots in the hospital today. The president of the Xiao Group just came too."
Ye Yanxi's face immediately turned pale.
Xiao Yu must have brought Jin Yan here for a check-up, right?
After the examination, Ye Yanxi still heard the two doctors whispering to each other.
"Don't you think the woman the president of the Xiao Group brought for a check-up looks familiar? I must have seen her somewhere!"
"You see her on TV all the time. Isn't she Jin Yan, that young female diplomat?"
"Ah, it really is her. Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure. One of my girlfriends likes her very much and always watches the news about her."
"And the president of the Xiao Group carried her in. Could there be something going on between them..."
"Definitely. They're a handsome man and a beautiful woman. They're a match made in heaven..."
Ye Yanxi walked away before she could hear the rest. She didn't want to hear any more news about Xiao Yu. All that came to her mind was the cold back of Xiao Yu carrying Jin Yan away at the hotel.
He and Jin Yan were a perfect match. They used to have an engagement anyway. It was only natural for them to be together now. But why did her heart hurt so much?
The results of the examination and the X-ray came out quickly. Her bones weren't seriously injured. Most of the injuries were external. This was also thanks to her years of practicing taekwondo and having a good physical foundation.
Mrs. He was relieved when she heard from the doctor that there was nothing serious.
Originally, Mrs. He wanted Ye Yanxi to stay in the hospital for observation. But after the doctor bandaged her up, Ye Yanxi insisted on not staying. So they just got some medicine and left the hospital.
After leaving the hospital, He Man called Mrs. He several times, urging her to go back. Ye Yanxi thought she was fine and didn't want to trouble Mrs. He anymore. So she told Mrs. He to go back first and that she would take a taxi by herself.
Chu Beize stood there feeling a bit uncomfortable. From the time they entered the hospital until they left, Ye Yanxi's eyes never once lingered on him. Chu Beize insisted on hailing a taxi for Ye Yanxi, so he asked Mrs. He to get in the car first, and Mrs. He agreed.
Ye Yanxi was already standing by the roadside. When she saw Chu Beize coming, she quickened her pace and walked a few steps forward. Chu Beize got anxious, "Why are you avoiding me? Do you really not want to see me?"
Hearing this, Ye Yanxi simply stopped avoiding him and stood there waiting for him to come over. A polite smile appeared on her face, "Young Master Chu, aren't you afraid that Mrs. He will find out about our relationship if you keep pestering me like this?"
"I told her I was coming to hail a taxi for you," Chu Beize gritted his teeth and glared at her, "Why did you block me? Why didn't you answer my calls?"
He was simply unreasonable!
"Mr. Chu, I think we're already done with each other. Please treat your fiancée well now."
Just then, a taxi stopped in front of Ye Yanxi. She immediately opened the door and got in. But Chu Beize suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"I'll call you again. Don't hang up on me anymore."
Ye Yanxi didn't want to entangle with him anymore. She forcefully shook off his hand, closed the door, and the taxi drove away.
Jin Yan's injuries were more serious. She had a relatively poor physical constitution and had always lived a fast-paced life, so her body was a bit weak. When she rolled down the stairs at the hotel, her leg hit the railing and she sprained her ankle. Her head also hit the wall.
She was still unconscious. In the VIP ward, Xiao Yu was sitting by the bed, looking at Jin Yan's face with a strange expression.
She had gone to see Leo for the cooperation between the Xiao Group and the F Group, and that was how this happened.
Soon, the doctor came with the examination results.
"Mr. Xiao, Miss Jin has a moderate ankle fracture. Even if she recovers, there may be some sequelae and she may have difficulty walking. There's also a mild concussion in her head."
