nSong Yaoyao’s hand froze and her expression sunk.

n

n

nAmputation?

n

n

nShe looked at her leg and actually contemplated the possibility seriously. If her leg was amputated, would she be at least 1m tall?

n

n

nWhile she was deep in thought, she heard Huo Yunque say to Huo Qi, “Call a helicopter to take her to the hospital for an examination.”

n

n

nAlarm bells rang in Song Yaoyao’s mind.

n

n

n“No!”

n

n

nSong Yaoyao quickly tried to stop him. Filled with grievances, she looked at Huo Yunque and said, “Gege, my leg isn’t numb anymore.”

n

n

nHuo Yunque flipped a page and held back a smile. “Okay, return to your car then.”

n

n

nHuo Qi watched this scene through the rearview mirror and thought to himself, I never knew you were like this, Sir.

n

n

nYou’re awful!

n

n

nSong Yaoyao sniffed. She noticed Huo Qi’s gaze and immediately glared at him fiercely as she threw a light punch threateningly.

n

n

nHuo Qi felt a pain in his back.

n

n

n“Goodbye then, Gege,” she bid farewell obediently as she stepped out of the car unwillingly.

n

n

n“Yes.”

n

n

nAs he looked at Song Yaoyao’s gentle and obedient expression, Huo Qi wiped away a bitter tear. However, he had no idea that something worse was waiting for him at home.

n

n

n…

n

n

nAfter Song Yaoyao stepped out of the car, she didn’t get very far before the old man from earlier stopped her.

n

n

nThe old man grinned like a blooming flower with a kind expression. “Young lady, thank you for saving my life. What’s your name? Are you from Feng City?”

n

n

nSong Yaoyao nodded her head, “Yes, my name is Song Yaoyao.”

n

n

n“Father, we really need to thank her properly!” the middle-aged man said with gratitude as he supported his father.

n

n

n“Of course, must you state the obvious?!”

n

n

nThe old man glared at him fiercely, but when he turned to look at Song Yaoyao, he immediately smiled. “Young lady, thank you. Let me give this to you as a gift. If you need my help in the future, you can find me at Yuhua Primary School.”

n

n

nSong Yaoyao was gifted an old fountain pen from the old man’s shirt pocket which he obviously cherished.

n

n

nSong Yaoyao’s eyes curved. When she smiled, she looked polite and gentle. “This isn’t necessary, Sir. I’m sure anyone that understands medicine would have helped in that situation.”

n

n

n“Really?” the old man humphed as he shoved the fountain pen into Song Yaoyao’s hand. He then glanced at Song Jingwan and said in a dull manner, “You sisters are nothing alike. Your older sister…”

n

n

nHe shook his head and did not say anything else.

n

n

nSong Yaoyao’s smile increased; she liked this old man’s personality.

n

n

nAs the old man looked at her, Song Jingwan felt so awkward, she wanted to dig a hole to hide in. Her eyes were red as she looked at Huo Ningxi beside her and whined unfairly, “Ningxi…”

n

n

nHuo Ningxi sighed. He couldn’t bear to see her like this. “Don’t be sad. I know you meant well. Let’s go back to the car.”

n

n

nIf they stayed there, people would continue to criticize her and she would only feel worse.

n

n

nWhen she heard what Huo Ningxi said, Song Jingwan felt a lot better. With teary eyes, she said softly, “Ningxi, thank you for believing me.”

n

n

nThe beauty’s appearance was elegant and delicate, and her eyes were misty. As she glanced at him, her eyes contained a sense of gratitude and inconcealable admiration.

n

n

nHuo Ningxi’s heart fluttered and softened even further.

n

n

n“Let’s go. Return and get some rest.”

n

n

nHowever, Song Jingwan had other thoughts. She looked at Song Yaoyao and bit her lower lip. “Ningxi, I think Song Yaoyao has a deep misunderstanding toward me. If we don’t clarify it, my heart won’t be at peace. You go back to the car first. I’ll have a chat with her, okay?”

n

n

nThe sadness between her eyes made it impossible for Huo Ningxi to object.
