Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Chapter 120 The CEO’s Cousin in a Workplace Story (33)

"She's been much better these days and doesn't make a fuss anymore. But maybe it's because of the weather that she's become a little sleepy." In the quiet corridor, a middle-aged nurse with a kind face walked in front. He turned around and said something to a young couple with outstanding temperament behind him. The man nodded slightly, then silently held the woman's hand tighter, and followed the nurse to a white door.

"You guys go in. I won't disturb your family from enjoying each other's company. Feel free to call me if you have any problem." The nurse stood in front of the door and motioned for them to push the door open and go in.

"Thank you for your care over the years. The New Year is coming soon. This is a little gift from us. Please don't refuse." The sweet-looking young woman took out a thick red envelope from her bag and handed it to the caregiver with a smile.

Seeing this, the nurse quickly declined, "Mr. Ye already pays me a very high salary, and he gave me a New Year's red envelope two days ago. I can't accept this. Besides, Miss Ye is not much older than my daughter, and I really love her."

"Please take it. It is precisely because we know how you take care of our aunt that we want to thank you even more." The young woman looked sincere. The nurse refused for a moment, but finally accepted it. She then carefully reminded the nurse not to disturb the people inside and to call her if anything happened. Then she left with a smile on her face.

In the empty ward, a gentle woman was sitting quietly on a chair in front of the window, facing the door. She had long hair draped over her shoulders, and even though she was wearing a bulky white turtleneck sweater, one could tell that she had slender limbs and a thin figure. Judging from her steadily rising and falling shoulders, she was probably taking a nap.

Lin Xi gently pushed the door open and slowly walked into the room. When she looked up, the first thing she saw was this scene. Because of the backlight, she couldn't see the man's face clearly, and could only see half a blurry outline. But even with this half unclear profile, Lin Xi could guess with certainty that the man's appearance must be good.

Lin Xi realized that the person in front of him should be Ye Huai's mother, the former eldest daughter of the Ye family, Ye Zhenqi, who was sent to a mental hospital by Old Man Ye because of mental disorder. Thinking of this, Lin Xi's heart was filled with complex emotions. He was full of curiosity about the figure in front of him, mixed with a trace of inexplicable pity.

Ye Zhenqi should be the scar in Ye Huai's heart that he is most reluctant to touch, but today he brought himself to see her. Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but hold Ye Huai's hand tightly and looked at him with some worry.

Receiving her gaze, Ye Huai shook his head gently to indicate that he was fine, then walked to the bed, took the blanket on the bed, walked to Ye Zhenqi, and tried to cover her with it gently. However, even though he was very careful, the moment the blanket touched Ye Zhenqi's body, she shuddered and woke up immediately.

Although her body was awake, her consciousness had not yet returned. She looked at the tall man standing beside her with his head lowered. She tried to identify him for a moment before she spoke uncertainly, "Ahuai?"

Ye Huai hummed softly, his hands moving non-stop until he had wrapped Ye Zhenqi tightly with the blanket in his hands. Then he stood up straight and said in a gentle voice, "Mom, I brought Xixi to see you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi also took two steps forward and walked to Ye Huai's side. She bowed to Ye Zhenqi and said sincerely, "Aunt, I am Xixi."

Ye Zhenqi finally woke up from her sleepiness, looked at the two children standing in front of her, smiled gently, and waved to Lin Xi, "It's Xixi, Ah Huai often mentioned you to me, come here and let me see you."

Lin Xi took a step forward and only then could she see Ye Zhenqi's appearance clearly. She had a beautiful face and a pair of eyes that were very similar to Ye Huai's, with clear black and white. At this moment, there was a faint smile in her eyes, as if even the most violent person would gradually calm down under the gaze of her gentle eyes.

If Lin Xi was not familiar with the plot, it would be hard for her to imagine how such a gentle person could be forced to become like a madman, quarreling and fighting with Chu Kuo, and even abandoning his five-year-old child after a mental breakdown.

"He is indeed a good child. Our Ah Huai is a lucky one." Ye Zhenqi took Lin Xi's hand, looked at him carefully, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, and then she took Ye Huai's hand and clasped their hands together.

"Ahuai is a lucky man. Although he had to deal with such an unfilial mother like me in the first half of his life, at least he still has you to accompany him in the second half of his life." As Ye Zhenqi spoke, her face suddenly changed and she was about to cry.

"Mom!" "Aunt!" Seeing her strange expression, Ye Huai and Lin Xi spoke at the same time, interrupting her self-pity.

Ye Zhenqi suddenly came back to her senses, let go of their hands, wiped her eyes with her sleeves, and forced a smile, "It's a great day, why am I talking about this." After saying that, she looked at Lin Xi again and spoke cautiously, "Xixi, don't be afraid. Ah Huai is not like me at all. He is the calmest and smartest person. He is not like me."

Hearing this, Lin Xi took out a tissue from her bag, gently squatted in front of Ye Zhenqi, wiped away the tears that flickered in the corners of her eyes, held one of her hands, and spoke in an especially gentle tone, "Aunt, you are so kind. Ah Huai is your child, how could he not look like you? Don't worry, Ah Huai and I are fine."

Ye Huai looked at the two most important women in his life, feeling sad and bitter in his heart. He squatted down and put his hands on theirs. He said with some difficulty, "Mom, Xixi and I are fine. We plan to get married next spring. You must be there then."

"Our Ah Huai is finally an adult." Ye Zhenqi was slightly startled, as if she had thought of something, and her tone suddenly became difficult again, "I just don't know if I can hold on until then..."

Her voice was low, as if she was muttering to herself, but Lin Xi was shocked when she heard it. She looked at Ye Zhenqi's somewhat gloomy face, and glanced at Ye Huai whose face changed because of her words. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.

Ye Zhenqi's words clearly showed that she was determined to die. If she really had suicidal tendencies for a long time, then considering how much Ye Huai cared about her, the last incident involving his family that led him to the path of self-destruction would probably be Ye Zhenqi's death.
