Not long after, Aunt Huo arrived in a hurry.
She wasn't fully aware of the details between Fu Yinxiu and Ming Yutong.
Alpha Guard 1 hadn't provided a lot of details over the phone, but from what he said, Aunt Huo understood that Fu Yinxiu, after so many years, finally had someone he cared about, and that person was Ming Yutong, the mother of Little Jingshi.
There had been some misunderstandings before, but they were now resolved. Ming Yutong had almost died trying to save Fu Yinxiu.
If Aunt Huo had any reservations before about Ming Yutong not taking good care of Little Jingshi, she had none now. She only hoped that their family could be reunited and live well from now on.
"Sir," Aunt Huo said, carrying a bag.
"Why are you here?" Fu Yinxiu asked in surprise, looking at Aunt Huo, then at Alpha Guard 1.
Alpha Guard 1 immediately apologized, "Master, it was my decision to have Aunt Huo bring something over. If you plan to stay here, you need to change clothes and take care of yourself. You can't stay like this."
"Yes," Aunt Huo nodded in agreement, "You certainly need to stay here with Miss Ming, but you can't look so disheveled. After a while, it will be unbearable, and even if Miss Ming is willing to see you, you might drive her away with your appearance."
Fu Yinxiu: "…"
He silently accepted the bag from Aunt Huo.
Alpha Guards quickly arranged for a VIP room at the hospital.
Fortunately, there were plenty of VIP rooms available at the Chutian hospital. It was no trouble to prepare one for Fu Yinxiu temporarily.
When Fu Yinxiu came out, he looked refreshed.
Ming Yutong had kept her eyes closed since the doctor left.
Knowing she was exhausted, Ming Yuqian didn't disturb her. He didn't support her choice but couldn't intervene, as it was Ming Yutong's decision.
No matter what she chose, he would be on her side. However, if Ming Yutong decided to forgive Fu Yinxiu, he wouldn't oppose it, but he certainly wouldn't be happy.
Ming Yutong finally opened her eyes. Ming Yuqian immediately asked, "Aren't you going to sleep a bit more?"
Ming Yutong shook her head, "I slept so long earlier; now I can't fall asleep."
Ming Yuqian adjusted the bed's headrest, not raising it too high to avoid discomfort for Ming Yutong.
"Did the family know about my injury?" Ming Yutong asked.
Ming Yuqian shook his head, "I didn't dare tell them."
The situation was too complicated, involving Fu Yinxiu and Little Jingshi.
Thus, Ming Yuqian hadn't mentioned it.
Ming Yutong nodded in relief, "That's good. I don't want my family to know about this. While I'm recovering, I'll have to rely on you to keep it a secret."
Ming Yutong had never mentioned Fu Yinxiu and Little Jingshi to her family before and didn't want to now. If her family found out, things would inevitably become more complicated.
"After this," Ming Yuqian hesitated, "given Fu Yinxiu's attitude towards you, even if you don't want to have any more contact with him, he probably won't stop you from seeing Little Jingshi anymore, right?"
Ming Yutong felt a surge of joy, her lips curving into a smile. This was probably the happiest thing she had heard.
The prospect of being able to see Little Jingshi openly in the future, without having to worry about Fu Yinxiu, made her feel that her injuries were worth it.
"Yes," Ming Yutong said, her entire demeanor softening when talking about Little Jingshi.
Her pale face, although still ashen, took on a tender hue. "I haven't seen Little Jingshi for a long time. Once I'm discharged, I'll go to see him."
Ming Yuqian always felt that Ming Yutong had it hard. To outsiders, she was the eldest daughter of the Ming family, born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
Her life might have seemed smooth before she met Fu Yinxiu, but after that, she had not had a normal life.
People thought she was smart and capable, running the family business efficiently.
She never lacked material possessions and could get whatever she wanted. With her beauty, she was sure to find a distinguished partner.
Ordinary people might spend a whole year's salary and still not be able to buy a bag like Ming Yutong's. People who didn't know the truth surely envied her.
But who knew Ming Yutong's struggles?
Ming Yuqian took a deep breath and, like a brother comforting his younger sister, gently patted Ming Yutong's head. "Sister, everything will be fine from now on. Fu Yinxiu won't trouble you anymore. You and Little Jingshi will be able to meet often, if not openly. Things will get better in the future."
"Yes," Ming Yutong relaxed a little.
After a while, Ming Yuqian's expression grew serious. "While I was at the company, I investigated Ming Silian's whereabouts. Since the last banquet, she has been kept at home by our uncle and aunt, not allowed to go out. So, there is no concrete evidence of her contacting Jia Shenli and his son. However, even if they haven't met, they might have contacted each other by phone or other means, which is difficult to trace."
Ming Yutong frowned slightly.
Ming Yuqian felt a bit regretful, realizing that discussing these matters right after Ming Yutong woke up was not allowing her to rest properly and was making her worry about many things.
"Let's put things on hold for now. The most important thing is for you to rest well and not think too much," Ming Yuqian advised. "Take this opportunity to have a break and rest. I'll handle everything outside."
Ming Yutong nodded. Thinking for a moment, Ming Yutong called Aunt Liu.
Since Ming Yutong was hospitalized, Ming Yuqian planned to stay at the hospital as much as possible except when necessary at work, so he arranged for Aunt Liu to come over.
During the day when Ming Yuqian wasn't around, Aunt Liu could stay to take care of Ming Yutong and prevent Fu Yinxiu from seizing the opportunity to come back.
