    He wrapped his hands around his hatred and was in deep frustration.


    He had to find Changqing and ask her about it.


    <i>What kind of situation is this?</i>


    Guan Ying watched his back for a while, turned and walked a few steps. Suddenly, she saw Changqing, who was standing in the ward next door, staring nkly.


    She was astounded and quickly went over to pull her hand. “Changqing, what are you doing here? Are you alright? I called you before but you didn’t pick up. I was quite worried.”


    “I... I wanted to visit your Mom but ended up in the wrong ward.” Changqing shifted her gaze. “Oh, right, Duoyao also wanted me to bring a red pocket for your Mom. She didn’t have the time toe.”


    “You guys are too polite.” Guan Ying smiled and pulled her towards another ward. “This is my Mom’s ward, but when you see my Mom... don’t be surprised.”


    “Why?” Changqing gave her a puzzled look.


    Guan Ying didn’t say anything; she only opened the door to the ward. On the bedid an old woman who looked like she was in her sixties. Half her hair was white, her skin was rough and she was exceptionally skinny. She was so skinny it looked like she was all skin and bones.


    The patient was on a drip and she had injuries on her face and head. Her face looked sallow.


    Changqing was so stunned she couldn’t speak.


    <i>This is Guan Ying’s mother?</i>


    <i>She looks like she could be Guan Ying’s grandmother.</i>


    When they were in university, Ruan Yang, Jiang Duoyao and she were always stressed over their weight. Only Guan Ying was consistently tall and skinny.


    Changqing always annoyed Guan Ying, saying that her mom must be very skinny. Then Guan Ying often just smiled and said nothing, but Changqing never imagined her mom would be this skinny.


    Changqing looked at Guan Ying beside her. She was so delicately beautiful, like a lotus flower that emerged from the mud. She didn’t dare to believe that this olddy gave birth to such a beautiful daughter.


    “Xiaoying, is this your friend?” Lu Ping put on an amiable smile.


    “Mom, this is Changqing.” Guan Ying bent down and said with a smile, “My university roommate.”


    “Oh, it’s Changqing.” Lu Ping’s face was full of gratitude and gratification. She said, “Xiaoying often mentioned you girls over the phone. Especially during university, she talked about you all the time. I think there’s still a Duoyao, and a Ruan Yang?”


    “Yes, Auntie, you have a superb memory.” Changqing nodded emotionally.


    Lu Ping sat up with difficulty and her yellowed face seemed more energetic. “Xiaoying often said that it was thanks to all of your care during university and she even said you girls treated her very, very well. There was one time during the new year when she didn’t manage to get tickets toe home and you asked Xiaoying toe to your house to celebrate the new year. Xiaoying had no rtives in Northern City. If it wasn’t for you, she would’ve had to spend a lonely New Year’s in the dormitory alone that year.”


    Changqing listened silently and the brims of her eyes felt warm.


    She felt deeply remorseful. Perhaps she shouldn’t have gotten together with Song Chuyi.


    She said, “Xiaoying treats me very well too. Every time Xiaoying returned home, she always brought back the vegetables that you marinated yourself. They were especially delicious.”


    “Right, right, right. Xiaoying said you liked to eat my marinated salted vegetables, so I would always make extra every time.” Lu Ping sighed and nodded, “Seeing that you girls are still so close, I’m really relieved. All these years, Xiaoying has been working hard. I was just worried that she would lead a hard life. Now that her life has improved slightly, I wanted toe to live with her. In the end, I didn’t expect something like this to happen.”


    “Thankfully you’re fine, Auntie,” Changqing said gratefully, “The ident in the morning was too horrifying.”


    “It’s all the driver’s fault—he was too much,” Lu Pingined, “When he was trying to overtake the big truck, he suddenly realized he was approaching the exit of the highway and suddenly braked to changenes. Several cars following behind crashed together and there was still the big truck beside them. There were a lot of casualties and our driver died on the spot. I’m considered lucky...”


    “When ites to driving, the slower...” Changqing just started when her phone rang.


    She took it out quietly and took a look. It was a call from Song Chuyi.


    In a moment of guilt, she said, “I’ll go outside to take this call.”


    Outside the ward, Song Chuyi’s voice came through coldly from the other side of the phone: “Where did you wander off to? Get back to the room now—I have something to ask you.”


    Changqing was bewildered. <i>What important thing does he have to ask me?</i>


    “... I have something to do.” She nced at the ward and also didn’t want to face Song Chuyi in her current mood. “I’ll head back to the Yan Household by myselfter; don’t get someone to pick me up.”


    “Yan Changqing...” Song Chuyi called her name out word by word.


    “I’m hanging up.”


    Hearing the beeping noise from the phone, Song Chuyi could only try his best to control his emotions.


    This stupid woman. The hospital was full of reporters and he had no idea where she ran off to. She even dared to be so cold towards him. What an ingrate.


    He snorted coldly from anger and a thought shed in his mind. He suddenly thought that she could’ve been with Guan Ying.


    He turned and was ready to leave when suddenly, a tall silhouette walked in with quick steps.


    If Song Chuyi hadn’t stopped quickly, the two would’ve collided into each other.


    The two faced each other and both took a step back. Fu Yu frowned with a cold face and looked at the bed behind him. “Where’s Changqing?”


    Song Chuyi also frowned for a while before replying, “She left.”


    Fu Yu’s handsome features were filled with disappointment. “How long has she been gone?”


    Song Chuyi was abnormally frustrated and said, “How should I know how long she’s been gone for?”


    <i>What’s up with this situation? It’s this Fu Yu again—simply a pest.</i>


    <i>Did I offend him in my previous life? He’s always there to pry at my corner wall wherever I am.</i>


    <i>I must teach Changqing a lesson when I head back. If she still continues to be in an ambiguous rtionship with this Fu Yu, I’ll have to break her legs.</i>


    He took a step out and was about to walk off when Fu Yu’s gentle and light voice came through, “I’m very grateful to Dr. Song for saving Changqing this afternoon, but I also hope Dr. Song will keep a distance from Changqing.”


    “What do you mean?” Song Chuyi stopped in his tracks. His pupils constricted a little and he turned back.


    “I meant it literally; Dr. Song should understand.” Fu Yu’s lips lifted into a slight curve. “I don’t want Changqing to be hurt needlessly.”


    Song Chuyi’s red and thin lips were seething with chilliness. The two pairs of eyes watched each other. The corners of his lips curved up slightly. “Mr. Fu... can I interpret that as you being too affectionate? Last month, you had your arm around my girlfriend and the next month, you have a new target.”


    “I’ve never liked Guan Ying.” Fu Yu shrugged. “We broke up already. If you still like her, you can take her back.”


    “Aren’t you a little too much?” Song Chuyi’s clean, ck pupils were pouring with anger.


    “Perhaps so, but you should thank me. Treat it like I’m testing women for you.” Fu Yu’s voice had a hint of indifference andziness. “A woman who can be stolen easily isn’t a good woman. As long as there’s money, she can do it with anyone.”


    Song Chuyi clenched his fists.


    “I know you want to hit me, but this is a hospital and you’re a doctor. There are also a lot of reporters outside.” Fu Yu raised his brows and looked at him slowly.


    Song Chuchu stared at him for a while. A nurse suddenly ran over hurriedly. “Dr. Song, I finally found you. The patient in bed 18 has trouble breathing.”


    Song Chuyi’s pupils sank and he left with the nurse immediately.


    In the ward, Changqing chatted a while with Lu Ping before Guan Ying saw her out.


    Suddenly, it seemed as though she had seen through Guan Ying’s secret. Changqing was at a loss for a moment. “Your Mom...”


    “Looks very old?” Guan Ying finished her sentence.


    Changqing fell into silence.


    “She had a particrly hard life. In order to send me to university, she had to take on three jobs a day and slept only five hours. She’s only 48 but she looks like she’s 68,” Guan Ying said bitterly, “So I’m trying very hard to climb my way up. My mother has all her hopes ced on me. I have no other choice. My father is an alcoholic and since I was young, he hasn’t contributed a single cent to my education. My younger brother is like a gangster, getting into trouble all day long and only knows how to ask for money. These few years, I sent all the money I’ve earned to my mom but the dad and son took it all away.”


    “Mm... I understand.” Changqing felt a deep sense of shame.


    There was once a moment when she didn’t like, didn’t support, and even felt disgusted by some of Guan Ying’s actions.


    But everyone had their own weaknesses. Guan Ying wasn’t wrong; Changqing had been too happy and had never been worried about money. Whatever she wanted, Yan Lei always got for her.


    If she had been in Guan Ying’s shoes growing up in that kind of environment, she might’ve done the same.


    Facing this kind of Guan Ying, how could she vie with her for Song Chuyi?


    Changqing returned to the Yan Household with a lot on her mind.


    Father Yan saw her return and pulled her over to check on her anxiously. Seeing her injuries, he said angrily, “Tomorrow, Dad will hire a few bodyguards for you. Next time, we’ll see who dares to harm you.”


    “Dad, you’re the best Dad in the world.” Changqing hugged Yan Lei and said in a husky voice, “What good deed did I do in my past life to have you as my father? I’ve thought it over—if you want to find me a Stepmom, I’ll support you. I will never object.”


    Yan Lei was overwhelmed. “Aiyo, didn’t you say that your father is petty? What got into you today? The sun is rising from the west.”


    Changqing told him about Guan Ying’s family and said, “I suddenly realize thatpared to Guan Ying, I’m so much luckier. In the past, our broadcasting station always reported on those irresponsible parents and I was particrly angry but never would I have thought that this kind of things could also happen to the people around me.”


    Yan Lei stroked her head and sighed. “There’s so much of these things happening. It’s alright, if Guan Ying has any issues next time, Dad will help you give her a hand.”


    “Dad, you’re the best.” Changqingy on his chest silently.


    When she returned to her room, Changqing received a call from Ruan Yang.


    Ruan Yang heard about what happened at the hospital and stayed silent for a long while before saying, “Changqing, are you thinking of giving Song Chuyi up to Guan Ying?”


    Changqing tugged on her nket hard. She felt terrible.


    She couldn’t bear to give up someone she liked, but what else could she do? “It’s not giving up—Song Chuchu seems like he hasn’t given up on Guan Ying either. I’m just... giving them my blessings.”


    “What about you? What would happen to you?” Ruan Yang said, “Song Chuyi can’t be like this. You gave him your first time and he’s also married to you. If things end up like that, he’s no different from a scoundrel.”


    “He isn’t a scoundrel.” Those words floated out of Changqing’s pretty, thin lips. “He’s quite good...”
