Chapter 136 Chu Ye saw his face
Lu Qingxi felt even more embarrassed after hearing this. She felt that she might have really hurt someone by mistake. She thought about it and decided to call Chu Rouxuan to explain. After all, Chu Ye was her brother, and she should have the right to know what happened. She picked up her phone and dialed Chu Rouxuan's number, wanting to tell her the truth.
The call was quickly connected, and on the other end of the line, Chu Rouxuan's voice was a little anxious and trembling. She had just learned from the little maid at home that her brother was punished by his father because of her, and she was worried. Hearing Lu Qingxi's voice, she seemed to have found someone to talk to, and her emotions collapsed all of a sudden. "Qingqing, do you know? My brother... He was beaten by his father because of me." Chu Rouxuan's voice was crying, which made Lu Qingxi's heart tighten.
She didn't expect that this happened before Chu Ye fainted today. She hurriedly comforted Chu Rouxuan and asked about her family situation. Chu Rouxuan choked up and told Lu Qingxi everything about her family. It turned out that she didn't do well in the exam because she wanted to be in the same class with Lu Qingxi, but was punished by her father.
Hearing this, Lu Qingxi felt even more guilty. She didn't expect that she would cause so many troubles for the Chu family. She didn't expect Chu Rouxuan to make such a sacrifice for her. She felt very guilty and felt that although it was an unintentional mistake, it brought a lot of trouble to Chu Ye after all.
She took a deep breath and said to Chu Rouxuan: "Rouxuan, I accidentally beat your brother tonight because of a misunderstanding. He has been sent to the hospital now. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Don't worry too much, I will wait for you at the entrance of the He family's private hospital. Then we will go to visit your brother together, apologize to him and express my apologies."
After hearing what Lu Qingxi said, Chu Rouxuan hung up the phone immediately and hurriedly asked the driver at home to take her to the He family's hospital.
Helian Che carefully escorted Lu Qingxi and Lu Sheng to the He family's private hospital. He originally planned to stay and accompany Lu Qingxi to wait for Chu Ye to wake up. However, after the elders in the family learned that Chu Ye was sent to their own hospital for treatment, they immediately summoned Helian Che and asked him to go back and report the situation immediately. Helian Che looked helpless and had to briefly explain to Lu Qingxi, telling her to wait patiently, and then left in a hurry.
Lu Qingxi watched Helian Che's back as he left, and a sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart. She knew that the four major families attached great importance to their family reputation, and once this matter was heard by the families, it would definitely cause a big stir. As for the Zhai family, as a family with close ties to the He family, they would probably also learn of the news soon.
She pondered silently in her heart, should she explain the previous situation to Chu Ye? If so, how should she start? She knew Chu Ye's character very well. He was straightforward. If he knew that he was misunderstood, he would probably feel resentful.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Qingxi decided to wait for Chu Rouxuan to arrive before discussing countermeasures. After all, Chu Rouxuan and Chu Ye had a deep relationship as siblings, so she might be able to think of a better solution. So, she asked the well-behaved Lu Sheng to go home and rest first, while she stayed at the hospital gate waiting for Chu Rouxuan to arrive.
Not long after, Chu Rouxuan ran in with a panicked look on her face. When she saw Lu Qingxi, she immediately went up to her and hugged her tightly. She asked in a trembling voice, "Where is my brother?" Lu Qingxi pointed to the ward at the back and said softly, "In the ward in the front." Upon hearing this, Chu Rouxuan immediately let go of Lu Qingxi and ran towards that ward.
Chu Rouxuan pushed open the door of the ward and saw Chu Ye lying on his back. Her heart tightened. She knew that her father had hit his brother's back again, and tears welled up in her eyes. She stepped forward and gently pulled back the quilt. As expected, she saw that Chu Ye's back was covered with strips of cloth, and the blood oozing from the strips was shocking. She touched the strips of cloth, and her tears could not stop flowing down, dripping onto Chu Ye's back.
Chu Ye's wound seemed to be stung by his tears, and his body trembled slightly. Seeing this, Chu Rouxuan quickly wiped the tears from her face, but she couldn't stop them. She ran out crying, but accidentally kicked the door.
Chu Ye was awakened by the sound of kicking the door. He struggled dazedly, trying to open his heavy eyelids. His consciousness wandered in the darkness, as if surrounded by endless fatigue. At this moment, he felt a warm force approaching gently and covering him with the quilt again.
It turned out that Lu Qingxi saw that a corner of his quilt was opened, and was worried that he would catch a cold lying like this, so she quietly came over and carefully helped him tidy up the quilt. Her movements were gentle and delicate, as if she was afraid of disturbing Chu Ye's dream.
However, at this moment, Chu Ye murmured softly: "Water, I want water." Although his voice was weak, it was particularly clear in the silent ward.
Lu Qingxi immediately stood up, walked quietly to the corner of the ward, picked up a clean cup of water, walked to the water dispenser and poured some warm water. She returned to the bedside, carefully helped Chu Ye up, and handed the cup of water to his lips.
Chu Ye felt the warm water flowing into his mouth, moistening his dry throat. He slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a beautiful woman. Her face was pure and elegant, as if she had walked out of a painting. Chu Ye was a little dazed for a moment, thinking that he was still in a dream, and subconsciously grabbed Lu Qingxi's hand.
Lu Qingxi's hand was tightly grasped by Chu Ye. She was startled and instinctively wanted to pull it back. However, her movement was too hasty, causing the cup in her hand to tilt, and the water immediately spilled on Chu Ye. The cool liquid flowed down his cheeks, instantly waking him up from the chaos.
Chu Ye suddenly opened his eyes and tried to focus his sight to see the scene clearly. However, in the moment he blinked, the beautiful woman disappeared without a trace. He was stunned, and an inexplicable sense of loss surged in his heart.
Lu Qingxi hurried out of the ward, her sixth sense kept her moving forward. When she stepped out of the hospital gate, a slender figure came into view - it was Chu Rouxuan, who was standing alone at the door, holding a handkerchief in her hand, and tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes.
Lu Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief. She slowly approached, pleading in her tone: "Rouxuan, I have something to ask of you."
Chu Rouxuan raised her head, her eyes full of confusion and worry: "Qingxi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Qingxi shook her head gently, slowed her heartbeat, and then spoke: "I hope you don't tell Chu Ye that you have seen me, let alone mention what happened tonight. Just think of it as... none of this has anything to do with Lu Sheng or me."
Chu Rouxuan was stunned. She didn't understand why Lu Qingxi would make such a request. Lu Qingxi sighed softly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes: "Before, Chu Ye had plotted against me... But now, I don't want to dwell on these back and forth. Let's just regard it as... the grudge between us is written off."
Chu Rouxuan was silent for a moment after hearing this. She knew that Lu Qingxi's decision was not easy. But she also knew that as a friend, she should respect Lu Qingxi's choice.
"Okay, I promise you." Chu Rouxuan finally nodded, "But Qingxi, you have to remember that no matter what happens, I will stand by you."
Lu Qingxi looked at Chu Rouxuan with gratitude, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
