Chapter 276 Sun Xiaolin Appears

Chapter 276 Sun Xiaolin Appears

A few days later, Yan Hua hears a lot of love and hatred between Tong Yue and Su Tian from Tang Cao’s mouth. At the end of July, heavy rain suddenly starts to fall in Yanjing, which is really heavy.

After three days of raining continuously, traffic in more than half of the city is paralyzed. From the news, it can be seen that even the subway stations are full of water. Everyone goes to work by travelling far away across an ocean. Netizens start to post all kinds of jokes.

“The weather forecast says that the rain will be less at least in another week.” Tang Cao leans against the bay window to play games. Those playboys have to stay at home because they can’t drive in the flood.

Yan Hua sits beside him, feeling bored. She is somewhat worried about Lang Ruoxian. Lang Ruoxian had to stay in the company last night, because the whole road outside the company was flooded and he could not come back.

“Sister! Xiaopang says that he goes to the company to pick up Brother Ruoxian.” Tang Cao says suddenly.

Yan Hua lets out a cry. “How does he get there? Does he fly a helicopter? Please don’t let him go. It’s too dangerous.”

A gale is blowing outside like a typhoon.

“No, he manages to get a big SUV and has set off.”

Shu Sheng orders a meal from the staff canteen. Lang Ruoxian has no appetite. Having been stuck in the company for a day, he looks out at the rain with a dark face.

“Check if there is any research institute that studies weather changes.” Hearing Shu Sheng come in, Lang Ruoxian turns to say.

Shu Sheng twitches the corner of his mouth. “Young Master, at present, mankind cannot control the weather.”

“So I shall invest in them and let them study it quickly.”

Shu Sheng answers, “You’d better have dinner first, since you didn’t eat anything last night.”

“How many people are still staying in the company?” Lang Ruoxian pricks at the rice grains in the lunch box. He doesn’t what Hua will have for lunch.

“Not many.” Shu Sheng thinks for a moment. “Yesterday we announced a holiday, and those living nearby waded to go back.”

Lang Ruoxian puts down his chopsticks. “Pay attention to rear services. Food and water must be guaranteed.”

“OK, I’ll issue a document later.”

Suddenly there are footsteps outside the door, and someone is shouting something.

“Mr. Lang. Mr. Lang.”

Shu Sheng opens the door. It is the manager of the public relations department downstairs. He is usually a style of an aloof elite. Now he enters, running in a flurry.

“Mr. Lang, an employee bangs her head and bleeds a lot of blood. What should we do?”

Lang Ruoxian immediately stands up. “Where is the person?”

“In the lounge on the third floor.”

He and Shu Sheng go to the third floor and see a crowd of people surround there, twittering and advising. When the manager of public relations announces Lang Ruoxian’s appearance, everyone else immediately disperse, revealing the person lying on the sofa.

“Young Master, it’s Sun Xiaolin.” Shu Sheng whispers.

Lang Ruoxian frowns. “What happened?”

“Mr. Lang, I... I didn’t mean it.” A girl with a pale face says with fear. “I didn’t know that she would fall.”

It was a specially ordinary office scenario. This girl named Gao Qin is in the same department with Sun Xiaolin. Since Sun Xiaolin comes and excels her in all aspects, she has been not pleased with Sun Xiaolin.

At ordinary times she occasionally ridicules Sun Xiaolin, but Sun Xiaolin always ignores her. But today is different. She just says two words and Sun Xiaolin quarrels with her.

Then she gets excited and pushes Sun Xiaolin. But Sun Xiaolin misses her footing and knocks her head on the corner of the table, breaking her head.

“Xiaolin? Sun Xiaolin!” During the period of her telling the process, someone finds Sun Xiaolin pass out.

Shu Sheng goes over to have a look. “The wound is quite large, so she must be sent to the hospital.”

The staff take measures to stop bleeding, but it seems useless for the blood keeps ticking away.

“What should we do? The ambulance can’t get in and our cars can’t get out.” The employees look at each other and finally they all look at Lang Ruoxian.

Lang Ruoxian ponders for a moment. “Arrange some strong male employees to carry her out. Also arrange some female employees to cover her head with clothes so as not to let her get caught in the rain.”

“Call 120 and let them pick up the patient at the intersection.”

Lang Ruoxian just finishes saying so, a voice which needs spanking comes from the door.

“Yo! What are you doing? You can’t slack even if you are left to stay in the company! I’ll tell your boss... What? Brother Ruoxian?” Chen Xiaopang sees Lang Ruoxian and stares blankly for a moment. Then he comes running over.

“Go, go, go! I come to take you home.”

Lang Ruoxian frowns. “How did you get here?”

“I drive a great SUV whose chassis is very high. Therefore, I am not afraid of wind and rain!” Chen Xiaopang finishes saying that and sees Sun Xiaolin on the sofa. “Sh*t! What is the situation?”

Lang Ruoxian also looks at Sun Xiaolin. Half a second later, he says, “You’ve come just at the right moment. Take her to the hospital first.”

On the way to the hospital, Lang Ruoxian calls Yan Hua and tells her that he will be back immediately. But actually, he comes back at dusk. When Yan Hua sees him and Chen Xiaopang come in, she is relieved.

“If you don’t come back, I’ll think you two have been washed away by the water.” She hurriedly hands over the towel that had been prepared for a long time. “Tang Cao, take Xiaopang to take a bath and change clothes upstairs.”

Lang Ruoxian takes the towel and kisses her. “I went to the hospital and was delayed.”

“Hospital?” Yan Hua is surprised.

“It’s not me but Sun Xiaolin.” Lang Ruoxian is about to go on to say, but Chen Xiaopang has a quick tongue and tells Yan Hua the whole story.

After hearing this, Tang Cao points to the suitcase at his feet. “What’s in it? Sun Xiaolin?”

“Why should I put her inside?” Chen Xiaopang rolls his eyes. “I’ve brought some clothes for changing.”

“You still plan to live long?” Tang Cao sneers. “I know you have been peeping at my body for a long time. And I tell you! I’m not interested in your fat body. I like delicate young girls.”

Chen Xiaopang pretends to vomit. “Bah, I’m not interested in you either! I am just bored at home. Isn’t it said that the rain will last for a long time?”

“Are you two so talkative?” Yan Hua shakes her head. “Take Xiaopang to the guest room quickly. Clean up and go downstairs for dinner.”

Lang Ruoxian takes a bath and changes his clothes. Yan Hua blows his hair. “Is that Sun Xiaolin all right?”

“Five stitches.” Lang Ruoxian takes the hair dryer and blows it himself. “I’ve arranged for her to stay in a hotel near the hospital for a few days, and then goes home when the rain stops.”

Yan Hua didn’t think of any conspiracy originally. But Shu Sheng sends a message to Lang Ruoxian at midnight that night. Lang Ruoxian takes one look and puts it down.

“What’s the matter?” Yan Hua doesn’t sleep soundly, for the thunder goes on incessantly outside.

“The hotel calls Shu Sheng and says that Sun Xiaolin has a fever.”

Yan Hua lets out a cry. “Is the wound infected?”

“I don’t know. Shu Sheng has gone there.” Lang Ruoxian hugs her to lie down. “Don’t worry about it. Sleep now and we will talk about it tomorrow morning.”

Yan Hua is woken up by the rain. Lang Ruoxian is working on the documents at the bedside. When he sees her be awake, he bends over and gives her a morning kiss.

“What time is it?” Yan Hua yawns.

“It’s almost 10 o’clock. Are you hungry?” Lang Ruoxian stands up and pulls open the curtains. It is still raining cats and dogs outside. The raindrops are hitting against the window with cracking sounds.

Yan Hua gets up to wash her face and rinse her mouth. The two tidy up and go downstairs to eat. The house maid is busy in the kitchen. When she sees Yan Hua come in, she complains about the lack of food and the shortage of goods in the supermarket of the villa area.

“It’s all right. Just cook whatever you can do. Eating our fill is enough.” Yan Hua smiles and says, “We will go out to buy food materials in the afternoon.”

The house maid begins to nag that they should be careful when they go out, for yesterday a car was washed away by water in the news...

“Tang Cao and Xiaopang, they two haven’t got up yet?” Yan Hua agrees with a smile and changes the topic.

The house maid smiles. “They got up early and ran out early in the morning, carrying a hovercraft.”

Hovercraft? Yan Hua blinks and runs to the French windows of the living room to look out. She sees Tang Cao and Chen Xiaopang rowing outside.

“Hahaha!” Yan Hua is going to laugh to death because they are rowing and getting things out of water. She estimates that somebody’s stuff hasn’t been put well and is washed outside.

Lang Ruoxian hugs her from behind. “Want to go out and play?”

“I’m not going.” Yan Hua rubs into his arms, giggling.

“Well, good girl, you can’t play with water during your period.” Lang Ruoxian pulls her back to the sitting room.

When the house maid serves food out, Yan Hua is going to call Tang Cao and Xiaopang back. Lang Ruoxian asks her to sit down and eat first. He calls them back himself.

As soon as the door is opened, the rain outside sweeps in and the wind is blowing in.

“It is time for meal.” Lang Ruoxian shouts to the outside. Regardless whether Tang Cao can hear it or not, he shouts for several times and shuts the door.

Yan Hua finds it funny and annoying. “Can they hear what you shout?

“They’ve heard it.” Lang Ruoxian glances at the French windows and sees the hovercraft rowing back.

A few minutes later, Tang Cao and Chen Xiaopang rush in, wearing the long-sleeved bathing suits and carrying a bucket.

“Add a dish! Add a dish!” Chen Xiaopang, dripping with water, runs to the kitchen. “I don’t know whose koi fish swim out.”

Tang Cao runs after him. “Damn, wipe your f**king body clean and then come in. The carpet is expensive.”

Lang Ruoxian takes food into Yan Hua’s bowl. “You eat first. Don’t wait for them.”

“It reminds me that when we were in G City, there was a flood too. Gungun and I also picked up things in the yard.” Yan Hua smiles. “Time flies.”

Lang Ruoxian also smiles. “When things are settled here, we will take time to return to G City for a few days.”

“Well, go there in winter. It is warm there then.”

Lang Ruoxian’s mobile phone rings. It is a call from Shu Sheng.

“I see. Please hire a nursing worker for her, and all meals will be arranged.”

“As she wishes.”

Hanging up the phone, Lang Ruoxian says, “Sun Xiaolin’s wound infection causes pneumonia. The doctor says that she might have been caught in the rain.”

“Did she get wet when you took her back to the hotel yesterday?”

“How is it possible!” Chen Xiaopang runs out of the kitchen. “We wrapped her in several layers of raincoats and let the hotel staff carry her in.”

Yan Hua says, “Go upstairs and change your clothes quickly, or you will catch a cold later.”

Chen Xiaopang lets out a cry and goes upstairs, chasing and fighting with Tang Cao.

“Then how did she get caught in the rain?” Yan Hua is really going to relate it to conspiracy theory. Sun Xiaolin’s existence was originally a conspiracy, which forces her to think more about it.

Lang Ruoxian says, “We should ask her.”

“What does she really want to do by having tossed about...” Yan Hua is puzzled and finally decides to visit Sun Xiaolin in person when the rain stops.

Lang Ruoxian doesn’t want her to go. “You don’t have to worry about an irrelevant person.”

“Women always know women. You let me meet her. Maybe I can find something!”
