Chapter 1690 - 1690 Suspicious Yuan Yuan

1690 Suspicious Yuan Yuan

After listening to the attending doctor, Xia Mingcheng relaxed, but was also puzzled; before he said anything, this person had taken the initiative to speak for his family. This was too unbelievable.

Yuan Yuan didn’t expect to run into Mingcheng in the attending doctor’s office. As soon as she saw him, Yuan Yuan felt very guilty. When Mingcheng looked at her, Yuan Yuan immediately got up, squeezed out a smile, and explained to Xia Mingcheng anxiously, “Mingcheng, why… are you here? I… I… I was especially worried about Mingzhen, so I came over to ask Mingzhen’s attending doctor if there’s anything I can help with.”

Speaking of Xia Mingzhen’s injuries, Yuan Yuan was happy and relieved when she confirmed that Xia Mingzhen really was in a coma and that Mingcheng hadn’t been trying to distract her earlier. She was happy that Xia Mingzhen wouldn’t have the chance in the future to point at her as the would-be murderer, and relieved that what happened with Mingcheng earlier was probably a misunderstanding. Mingcheng wasn’t doubting her or pulling the wool over her eyes. It seemed that she was thinking too much, and the last bit of doubt in her heart dissipated.

Xia Mingcheng didn’t know what the woman in front of him was thinking at that moment. From this incident, he also understood that the woman in front of him was far more scheming than she appeared. If Master Chi hadn’t alerted him this time, this woman would have already found out about Mingzhen as well as about Xia Mingcheng’s doubts and vigilance against her.

!!

Xia Mingcheng was very glad. Seeing that the woman in front of him was in a hurry to explain herself, he pretended not to care and consoled her instead. “It’s fine, I know you’re worried about Mingzhen!”

Yuan Yuan still wanted to explain more, afraid that the other party would misunderstand. She didn’t expect Mingcheng to trust her so much. Yuan Yuan was very moved and happy. To show that she really cared about Xia Mingzhen, Yuan Yuan specially continued to ask the doctor what she needed to pay attention to with a patient like Xia Mingzhen, and acted as if she wanted to take notes.

Chi Shuyan was amused as she watched the other party put on a show.

When Yuan Yuan was almost done, Xia Mingcheng didn’t want her to stay in the attending doctor’s office any longer, so he immediately found an excuse to send her out.

Before she went out, Yuan Yuan noticed Chi Shuyan. Her face couldn’t help but darken and turn quite unsightly. Seeing that Xia Mingcheng’s attention wasn’t on her, Yuan Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

When the two went out, Chi Shuyan naturally didn’t follow them. After they walked away, she vaguely heard the Yuan woman ask Xia Mingcheng, “Why is she here? Mingcheng, you don’t really believe that this woman is capable, do you? You still want her to take a look at Mingzhen?”

Yuan Yuan scoffed.

Xia Mingcheng immediately explained, “Mingzhen’s injuries are serious. I was desperate and thought of Master Chi. Yang Ji and the others told me that Master Chi is a capable person. What if she really can help?”

Yuan Yuan wasn’t in a hurry to stop Xia Mingcheng from looking for Chi Shuyan this time. She didn’t believe that the woman could wake up a comatose patient. In her opinion, it was simply a fantasy; it would be great if that woman humiliated herself.

As if picturing that scene, a gloating and smug smile appeared on Yuan Yuan’s face before it swiftly disappeared, and she immediately asked in concern, “Mingcheng, by the way, how are Uncle and Aunt? Why don’t I go with you to see them when I’m free? It wouldn’t be good for me to leave without seeing them now that I’ve come to the hospital.”

Xia Mingcheng feigned hesitation for a while and didn’t refuse immediately. After a while, he said, “It’s fine. My parents aren’t in good condition now. How about in a few days?”

Yuan Yuan didn’t doubt him too much this time. She had heard Mother Xia crying just now. It was impossible for Father and Mother Xia not to feel terrible now that something had really happened to Xia Mingchen. As the murderer, she would feel a little guilty if she really had to face them. In any case, she had already confirmed from the attending doctor that Xia Mingzhen really was comatose, so Yuan Yuan didn’t insist this time. After a moment of silence, she said, “Okay, Mingcheng. When I’m free, I’ll call to help you comfort Uncle and Aunt.”

“Thanks!”

Yuan Yuan was still very delighted when she heard Mingcheng’s gratitude. Although Mingcheng’s tone wasn’t much different from his usual cold tone, she was still excited in her heart. She looked at him with an intimate and affectionate expression, which made Xia Mingcheng’s body subconsciously stiffen as he forced himself to maintain his usual expression.

“Mingcheng, don’t think too much. Mingzhen will definitely wake up. When I go back, I’ll call my friend and ask her about that doctor. Don’t worry.”

Xia Mingcheng nodded. Before he left, Yuan Yuan was still a little worried about Chi Shuyan. She suddenly asked, “Mingcheng, has that Chi woman been contacting you recently?”

After asking this question, Yuan Yuan felt some regret. Asking something like this was a little overboard. She was afraid that Mingcheng would be disgusted, so she immediately told Xia Mingcheng what Chai Qing had told her before. “Mingcheng, I don’t mean to pry or anything. It’s just that before what happened to Xiao Qing, she told me that that Chi girl seemed… to be into bad things. There were a few times when Chai Qing ran into her shopping with different men. She’s even stared at you a few times before. Xiao Qing even wondered back then if she had taken a fancy to you!”

The sudden change in topic obviously exceeded Xia Mingcheng’s imagination, and he was so shocked that he almost choked on his saliva. Not to mention that he didn’t believe that Master Chi was such a person, he had also seen Master Chi’s husband before. Master Chi’s husband was obviously an extraordinary person. With such an outstanding husband, Xia Mingcheng really didn’t think that Master Chi would look twice at him.

Xia Mingcheng didn’t want to say more to Yuan Yuan. He suppressed the disgust in his heart and said a few half-hearted words to her before sending her out of the hospital.

As soon as Yuan Yuan got into a car and left, Xia Mingcheng immediately ran back to the attending doctor’s office. Just then, he received a call from Master Chi, and heard her say, “I still have something else to do, so I’ll leave first. Just remember what I told you. Let me know if there’s any news!”

“Wait, Master Chi, that doctor just now… That doctor suddenly said that my brother has a blood clot in his brain. Was that your doing?”
