Looking at the person who had appeared all of a sudden behind Mu Tingfeng, the smile on Xia Zhetao’s face turned stiff. He said sheepishly, “Ah! I suddenly remember that I was in too much of a hurry just now, and I haven’t had time to pay for the medical bill yet. I’ll do it right now!”
With that, Xia Zhetao fled away without a sense of decency. Mu Tingfeng was left behind alone to face Zhao Youlin.
“Pay for the medical bill, huh? Su He is my company’s staff. Even if there’s a need to pay for the medical bill, it is not your obligation to pay for her. Or, shall I say, President Mu, do you have any unknown relationship with Xiao He?” Zhao Youlin cast a glance at Xia Zhetao, who had left in a flurry of motion, before she turned her head around and smiled teasingly at Mu Tingfeng. It was clear that she did not plan to spare him so easily.
Mu Tingfeng turned cold. As he was watching the fleeing Xia Zhetao who had gained distance from them, in his heart, he was already figuring out how to deduct his salary.
“Have you finished thinking about how to explain to me?” Seeing that Mu Tingfeng did not say anything even after some time, Zhao Youlin furrowed her eyebrows and reminded him again.
Mu Tingfeng’s expression turned stiff for a few seconds before he answered coolly, “She is my younger cousin.”
“What?!” Zhao Youlin was stunned. She stared at Mu Tingfeng as if to confirm if she had heard it wrongly or Mu Tingfeng had said it wrongly.
“Su He is my younger cousin. She’s my uncle’s daughter.” Mu Tingfeng briefly stated Su He’s identity. The next moment, he was afraid that Zhao Youlin might not understand what he said, and he added, “Her grandfather is my grandmother’s biological older brother.”
Zhao Youlin was dumbfounded. She had to organize the information from Mu Tingfeng’s words.
If she remembered correctly, the information from the earlier investigation had stated that Mu Tingfeng’s grandmother, who was also Su Ruixin’s mother, was from the Su family.
Mu Tingfeng’s grandmother’s older brother, the former master Su… was the current head of the Su family. The former master Su has a son. His son had given birth to a son and a daughter. His son was Su Jifeng, whom Zhao Youlin had met at Su Qing’s son’s full moon banquet that day. Meanwhile, could his daughter be… Su He?!
Su He was actually the Su family’s youngest princess! When Zhao Youlin recalled Su He’s babyish face and related this to her actual identity, Zhao Youlin felt the views of her world and morals completely change.
Darn it! Zhao Youlin had always known that Su He was not as simple as she appeared to be. She had even suspected the reasons of why Su He had drawn close to her.
However, she had never thought that Su He was connected to Mu Tingfeng, and was even a member of the Su family!
Zhao Youlin was stunned for some time before she looked like she suddenly understood something. Her expression darkened as she said, “You already knew that Su He is by my side, huh?”
Mu Tingfeng hesitated for some time before he nodded.
A glimpse of bone-chilling light flashed across Zhao Youlin’s eyes. “You had someone to keep an eye on me, huh?”
It was clear that there was an obvious hint of anger from Zhao Youlin’s tone. Mu Tingfeng was startled before he recovered his senses. He did not know if he should laugh or cry as he said, “What have you been thinking about? Su He did not come to you as a secretary for my sake.”
“No?” Zhao Youlin furrowed her eyebrows. Apart from this, she could not think of any other better reason on why he would allow a pampered lady like Su He to work as her secretary.
Mu Tingfeng did not respond to her. Instead, he moved his gaze and rested on the dispirited Ye Yan.
Zhao Youlin moved along Mu Tingfeng’s gaze. Her eyes flashed when she saw Ye Yan.
“Regarding this incident, you could seek an explanation from Su He after she is out of danger. She did not have any… malicious intent toward you.” Mu Tingfeng cast a glance at Zhao Youlin worriedly.
To be frank. He was worried. It had not been easy for him and Zhao Youlin to be together. They were about to remarry. He truly did not want any accident to happen at this moment.
Of course, as Su He’s older cousin as well as Zhao Youlin’s future husband, he also did not want Zhao Youlin to hold any grudges against them.
How could Zhao Youlin not have guessed what Mu Tingfeng had been thinking about in his heart? A mocking smile arched across her lips. “If she has malicious intent toward me, do you think she could still stay by my side even today?”
She was not an idiot. How could she not have seen through if the person beside her was ill-intentioned?
“Well, let’s talk this through after Su He is awake. What matters most is her injury…”
When Zhao Youlin recalled the sight of Su He soaked in blood, she could not help but frown.
She already had her eyes opened by how skillful Su He was since the beginning. Meanwhile, Ms. Xie was clearly a frail, weak lady leading a pampered life.
Generally speaking, Su He would not easily suffer such an injury. Besides, when Ye Yan carried her into the car, she had not noticed any wounds on Su He’s body. Where did the blood come from?
Before Zhao Youlin had time to ponder the issue over, the door of the emergency ward suddenly opened. The people sitting and waiting outside the ward immediately jerked up.
Ye Yan was the first to dash over. His entire visage was a bit frightening to behold as he was very nervous and his hands were stained with blood. As such, this had inevitably terrified the pitiful nurse.
Even so, Ye Yan did not hesitate. He grabbed the nurse’s hand tightly with both of his blood-stained hands as he asked anxiously, “How is she?”
The nurse trembled a little before she forcibly acted calm and said, “The patient bled due to a violent impact. There is a risk of miscarriage. The blood bank has just run out of blood. I’m afraid it’s too late to transfer it from other places. Any of you who are type AB?”
“Miscarriage?! Xiao He is pregnant?!’ Zhao Youlin and Li, who was quietly blaming herself, exclaimed in shock at the same time.
Even Mu Tingfeng was looking a little shocked. He immediately swiped his glance over the certain person who was still grabbing the nurse’s arm.
When he realized Ye Yan did not look as shocked as the rest of them, Mu Tingfeng’s gaze sank.
The nurse furrowed her eyebrows when she noticed their shocking demeanors. She could no longer care about their identities and blurted out in an unfriendly tone, “Are you guys truly the patient’s family members and friends? Why didn’t you guys even have knowledge that the patient is already pregnant? Besides, she’s already over four months pregnant. Over four months!”
When the nurse emphasized the period of Su He’s pregnancy, the crowd looked more or less embarrassed.
Indeed, the young lady was already over four months pregnant and had been staying right next to them whom they could easily reach out for. Yet, none of them had noticed that she was pregnant!
Ye Yan clenched both of his hands. A trace of obscure bright light and heartache pain flashed across his eyes.
The nurse rolled her eyes in resignation at them before she summoned up her courage again and said, “Well, you guys can continue to discuss this after the patient is out of danger. We are in desperate need of help for the patient now. I repeat, any of you who are type AB?”
“Me! Me! Me! I am type AB!” Right after the nurse spoke, Li cried out excitedly.
The nurse heaved a sigh and said in a low voice, “Come with me. The rest, stay here..”
