Yang Kai handed a black card to Xia Xiaodie. “Xiaodie, there’s three million in here. Take it and use it first.”

Xia Xiaodie looked up at Yang Kai. “Yang Kai, thank you, but… I can’t take this money.”

She refused.

“Xiaodie, Auntie is going to undergo a second surgery tomorrow. You really need this three million. Three million is just a piece of cake for our family. With the many years of friendship between our two families, you have no reason to reject me.”

The Yang family was a wealthy family, and it was also a wealthy family with a scholarly background. Both of Yang’s parents were intellectuals, and Yang Kai was young and talented. Therefore, this three million was really a small amount for the Yang family. Yang Kai did not expect Xia Xiaodie to reject it, unless… Xia Xiaodie had a reason to reject it.

Yang Kai thought of the rumors that he had recently heard about Xia Xiaodie and the number one wealthy family, the crown prince of the Gu family, Gu Yilin..

“Xiaodie, I heard that the eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Yilin, is wooing you. Is that true?”Yang Kai asked in a low voice.

Xia Xiaodie and butterfly trembled at the mention of Gu Yilin. “Yang Kai, I don’t want to talk about this.”

She didn’t want to talk about it.

She didn’t want to talk about Gu Yilin with him.

Initially, Yang Kai thought that it was just a rumor. After all, Gu Yilin had a high status. Although the Yang family was also a wealthy family, there were different ranks among the wealthy families. No one in the GU family could compare to them, gu Yilin, the favored son of Heaven, was now even more valuable as a giant in the business world. For such a legendary figure to actually fall in love with Xia Xiaodie, Yang Kai felt that it was not real.

But now, seeing Xia Xiaodie’s secretive look, it was obvious that she was unwilling to mention Gu Yilin to anyone. Yang Kai suddenly believed her.

“Xiaodie, Gu Yilin is really chasing you. Then, did you agree? You and Gu Yilin…”

Yang Kai’s words came to an abrupt end because he saw a small cut on Xia Xiaodie’s red lips, as if someone had… kissed her..

Yang Kai sucked in a breath of cold air, “Xiaodie, you and Gu Yilin have already… already developed to the stage of a couple? “You don’t want my money, is it because Gu Yilin has already given you three million yuan? I heard that Gu Yilin has always been generous with women. I’m afraid that if you ask him for thirty million yuan, he will give it to you without blinking…”

“Yang Kai!”

Xia Xiaodie called out to him.

Yang Kai quickly shut up. He looked at Xia Xiaodie. Xia Xiaodie’s pair of black almond-shaped eyes were looking at him coldly, so distant.

“Xiaodie, I’m sorry. I was too emotional just now. That’s why I said that. I didn’t mean to humiliate you at all.”

The two families had been together for so many years. Yang Kai deeply knew what kind of person Xia Xiaodie was. No matter what difficulties she encountered, she liked to shoulder them alone. All these years, it was the Yang family who took the initiative to help her, she had never asked to trouble his family. It was precisely such a talented, proud, and dignified girl that his parents doted on her as if she were their daughter, and he especially liked her.

In fact, there were many girls who wanted to marry into the Yang family over the years, but he and his parents had set their eyes on this girl.

And this girl in front of him had many ways to make his life better. Even if she didn’t choose the Yang family, as a 19-year-old post-doctoral student at e University, how many princes of wealthy families were pursuing her, most of the female students around her had good boyfriends. They were picked up by sports cars every day and enjoyed delicious food while traveling abroad. However, Xia Xiaodie was in the hospital and in the school’s laboratory. Although her life was hard and busy.., it was pure and simple.

Yang Kai knew that Xia Xiaodie was a pure and simple girl. The life she wanted… was also pure and simple. Therefore, Gu Yilin was not suitable for her.

Xia Xiaodie looked at Yang Kai, shook her head and said, “It’s okay, I know you don’t mean any harm. Also, Gu Yilin and I are not the kind of relationship you think. Gu Yilin is a gentleman, nothing happened between us.”

Yang Kai secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that there was nothing substantial between Gu Yilin and Xia Xiaodie.

“Then this three million…”

“I’ll think of a way myself. I’ve done a few pieces of programming. I’ve just sent a message to the professor asking him to help me sell it. Let’s see how much money we’re short by then,”Xia Xiaodie said.

Yang Kai took back his black card and revealed a warm smile. He knew that this girl must have her own way.

“Xiaodie, the programming you’ve done will definitely fetch a high price, but time is of the essence. We might not be able to sell it at the ideal price. Let’s see how much we’re short by then. I’ll make it up to you. It’s not that you don’t have to pay it back. You can return it to me with interest.”

“Okay.”Xia Xiaodie curled her red lips.

..

In the early morning, both father and mother Yang had arrived. Mother Xia had also woken up.

Mother Yang made millet porridge and fed it to mother Xia personally. The two of them had been sisters since they were unmarried. After so many years, their relationship had become deeper and deeper.

Xia Xiaodie sat at the side and began to pluck fruits. Mother Xia and mother Yang chatted happily. Mother Xia’s pale face even revealed a smile a few times. Xia Xiaodie’s mood also improved.

At this moment, mother Xia sighed. “I know I don’t have much time left. If I can live a day, then so be it. But Xiaodie is still young. If I leave, what will she do?”

Mother Yang quickly held mother Xia’s hand. “Don’t worry. Even if that day really comes, Xiaodie still has us. Xiaodie is the daughter of our Yang family. I promise you, as long as the Yang family is still around, no one will dare to Bully Xiaodie.”

Mother Xia nodded her head in relief, then lowered her voice and said, “How about… we find an auspicious day and get Yang Kai and Xiaodie engaged first?”

“This… Our Yang family will definitely be looking forward to it. You also know Yang Kai’s intentions, but Xiaodie… we still have to respect Xiaodie’s opinion.”

“Xiaodie is my daughter. She is very obedient. If I ask her to get engaged, she will definitely not disobey me.”

Although they were whispering in a low voice, Xia Xiaodie could still hear them clearly. The fruit knife in her hand was pointing in a different direction. When Xia Xiaodie lowered her eyes, a bloody wound had already appeared on her fair index finger.

..

Mother Yang left. Only Xia Xiaodie and mother Xia were left in the ward.

Mother Xia said, “Xiaodie, the director of this hospital is your uncle Yang’s old classmate. Just now, Uncle Yang went to look for my attending physician. The one who will perform the surgery for me tomorrow is a professor that your uncle Yang invited back from Germany. So, Xiaodie, don’t worry. Mother will be fine.”

Xia Xiaodie took a warm towel to help mother Xia wipe her face. “Mom, I know that Uncle Yang and Auntie Yang are very good to us, but… it’s hard to return the favor if we keep troubling them like this.”

“Xiaodie, what are you saying? When you marry Yang Kai, we will be a family.”

“Mom,”Xia Xiaodie looked at her mother. “I don’t want to marry Yang Kai.”

“Why?”? “Xiaodie, are you still thinking about that Gu Yilin? Are you still in contact with him? What did you promise me that night? Why Are You So Disobedient? Are you trying to anger me to death?”Mother Xia snatched the towel from Xia Xiaodie’s hands and threw it on the ground.

Xia Xiaodie’s face turned pale, “Mom, don’t be agitated. Your body can’t be agitated…”

Mother Xia was covered in sweat from the pain. She even used her hand to press on her heart. Very soon, mother Xia fainted on the hospital bed.

Xia Xiaodie could no longer breathe. She quickly ran out and shouted, “Doctor! Doctor!”

The ward was in a mess. The doctors and nurses rushed over to give first aid to mother Xia.

An hour later, the ward was filled with the pungent smell of medicine. The doctor wiped his cold sweat and instructed, “Miss Xia, your mother’s condition is very bad. Don’t get angry. Don’t let your mother get agitated again. Do you understand? Otherwise, the second surgery can be avoided.”

Xia Xiaodie leaned against the wall. Her small face was pale and her hands were covered in cold sweat.

The medical staff had all left. Mother Xia was lying on the bed. Her face was covered with an oxygen mask and she was very weak.

Xia Xiaodie walked forward and held her mother’s hand. “Mother, I’m sorry…”

Mother Xia coldly shook off her little hand. Then, she turned her back and ignored her.

Xia Xiaodie felt very uncomfortable. Her white eyes reddened, and a layer of crystal-clear mist accumulated inside.

At this moment, “Ding”, Xia Xiaodie’s phone rang. It was a text message from the professor.

Time was too tight. The professor had helped to contact the industry insiders. Xia Xiaodie’s programming had been sold, but the price had been lowered. It had only sold for two million.

There was still a million to go.

Xia Xiaodie stood in front of the window. It was already drizzling outside. The slight coolness spread to her body, making her bones and blood not feel a trace of warmth.

“Mom, rest well. I’ll go out for a while.”

Xia Xiaodie left the ward and the hospital. She took a taxi by the roadside.

“Miss, it’s so late, and it’s still raining. Where are you going?”The driver in front asked.

Xia Xiaodie looked at the drizzle outside. “To the Qingluo residence.”

..

The taxi stopped and Xia Xiaodie paid. Then, she opened the back door and ran into the rain, all the way to the Qingluo residence.

The qingluo residence was a wealthy area where every inch of land was gold. The security measures were quite strict, so Xia Xiaodie was stopped by the guard.

The guard looked at the girl in the rain. The girl’s clothes were already wet from the rain and stuck to her body. Her pure long hair was also wet, and a few strands were tied around her beautiful and delicate face. Although she looked a little embarrassed, she looked exceptionally beautiful, the rain hit the Begonia, making people feel pity for her.

“Aiyo, Miss, why are you out in the Rain? We Can’t let you go in here as you please. Tell me who you’re looking for first.”

Xia Xiaodie’s butterfly feather dipped in the rain and trembled twice. “I’m Looking For… Gu Yilin.”

“Master Gu? Miss, Wait a moment. I’ll give master Gu a call.”

In the villa.

The doorman’s call came. It was from the Auntie.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps rang in her ears. The Auntie looked up and saw Gu Yilin coming down the steps.

Gu Yilin had just held a business meeting and had gone home to take a shower. Now, he was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, the classic style of a business CEO. Now, his handsome eyelids were lowered and he was buttoning the shiny silver button on his wrist, he strolled down the red carpet, looking down from above with a sense of superiority and nobility.

“Young master, the doorman called. He said that there’s a lady named Xia outside looking for you.”
