Chapter 869: Icing on the Cake
Just as Yun Xi and Yumo sat down, Jiang Henglin came over and sat down opposite Yun Xi.
Zhao Yumo was speechless when she saw him, and she moved them a little away from him. “Second Young Master Jiang, why are you always hanging around Yun Xi? I thought Yun Xi had already called off her engagement with you?”
“What’s wrong? I can’t talk to her because she called off the engagement?” Jiang Henglin ignored Zhao Yumo’s comments. Instead, he turned to look at Yun Xi and sneered softly.
“Don’t you have medical knowledge? Your sister is about to collapse from diarrhea, but you are not going to take a look at her?”
Yun Xi looked up. She rested her chin on her hand and regarded him, “Since you are so concerned about her, why don’t you go visit her? Yun Ziling would be very happy to see you, and maybe she would recover immediately. Also, my mother isn’t fond of seeing me. If she doesn’t tell me anything, why should I take the initiative to go help them?”
There was another reason why Liang Xiuqin didn’t want Yun Xi to get involved. If she were to say that Yun Ziling had to go to the hospital back in the city, as her condition was severe, Yun Yuanfeng would definitely agree with her. And Ziling’s and her plans would be affected if that happened.
It would be equivalent to giving Chen Lixue a chance if Liang Xiuqin couldn’t keep her eyes on Yun Yuanfeng. Also, Yun Ziling would not want to miss the opportunity to be with Jiang Henglin.
No one knows what could happen or what would happen during this weekend trip to the hot springs!
Also, when Yun Xi was watching Liang Xiuqin pack her luggage in the afternoon, Liang Xiuqin had accidentally showed her the things she would be bringing along. She must say that the swimwear Liang Xiuqin had was really sexy.
The money Liang Xiuqin spent on buying clothes and learning about cosmetics was definitely not in vain.
Liang Xiuqin wanted to improve her relationship with Yun Yuanfeng. But even if that were the case, she would not be able to guard against Liang Xinyi’s tricks, no matter how well-prepared she was.
The appearance of Jiang Henglin on this trip was the icing on the cake. Liang Xinyi must be laughing under her blanket right now.
“Didn’t you say it yourself, that a doctor must be kind and benevolent? Is that how you should treat a patient?”
“Didn’t the staff from the front desk give her some medications already? But, unfortunately, no matter how kind I am as a doctor, I do not have any medical equipment or medicines with me. Were you not taught about how one cannot do anything without the necessary materials?”
“…” Jiang Henglin froze. He couldn’t come up with a reply to what she had said.
Going with the flow, Zhao Yumo continued from where Yun Xi had stopped, “Young Master Jiang, don’t tell me that you studied in a fake university? How could you not understand such simple logic?”
Jiang Henglin’s face darkened with defeat as he couldn’t come up with anything to retaliate against whatever they said.
Just at that moment, Jiang Hengling’s assistant came over with a pile of documents, which interrupted their conversation and slightly eased Jiang Henglin’s embarrassment.
The table beside the bar was not very big, and Jiang Henglin already occupied more than half of it. So Yun Xi and Yumo had to move over to another table.
Jiang Henglin had originally wanted to get some work done. He had not expected to get distracted by how these two girls answered questions together, one after another, fluently without any hesitation.
He couldn’t read a single word in his report, listening as he was to their discussion about schoolwork.
He looked over at Yun Xi, who was working on an assignment with her head down. The bright yellow light from the bar shone on her and made it look as if layers of warmth surrounded her.
Her long black hair hung close to her delicate small face, some hidden in the collar of her down jacket. When she lowered her head, her hair dropped to the side of her face, and she would casually push it back behind her ear. The light reflected on her delicate face, and he felt something crash in his heart.
The overwhelming warmth wrapped around him, just like a closely woven net, and even his breathing changed subtly.
He had never observed her so closely before, as they were always fighting whenever they met. It was always him being sarcastic or her being aggressive, and she had always seemed to come out on the winning end.
He had never felt so hated by a girl, and she even happened to have previously been his fiancee.
