Chapter 138 - Waking Up a Person Pretending to Be Asleep
Translator: Dragon Boat TranslationEditor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xu Wanwan laughed mockingly and did not say anything else.
Yes, she could never wake up a person who pretended to be asleep.
They were already numb and ignorant to this extent. What was the point of saying anything more?
She did not say anything else and watched them leave decisively.
Li Jingran’s thin lips curled into a mocking smile. “One day, they will pay the price for their choice today.”
How blind must this family be? First, they chased away their own daughter. Now, their own son was still lying in the hospital, yet they could indulge Xu Yue and let her continue to wreak havoc.
Xu Wanwan sighed softly and said in a helpless tone, “I’ve said what I should say, the rest is up to them.”
“Are you the family members of Ward 301? The patient has woken up. You can go in and take care of him.” The nurse hurried over.
“Yes, I am. I’ll be right there!”
After Xu Wanwan said that, she turned to look at Li Jingran and said softly, “Xu Yuchu has no one to take care of him now. I have to stay with him.”
She was also someone who had been forgotten by the Xu family. She could not just watch Xu Yuchu suffer so much damage alone.
Li Jingran calmly compromised. “Go ahead.”
He paused for a moment and said, “Go home early tonight. I’ll get someone to arrange for a nurse for him.”
Xu Wanwan was a little surprised. “No need. I can take care of him.”
“I don’t want to see you so tired.” Li Jingran’s tone relaxed. “Remember to go home early tonight.”
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips, yet she still agreed. “Okay, pay attention to your safety going back.”
After Li Jingran left, she composed herself and pushed open the door.
Aray of sunlight shone through the window and cast onto the white bedding. The teenager was leaning on the bed, his head wrapped with bandages, quietly looking out of the window.
Xu Wanwan walked over slowly. “You’re awake.”
“Hmm.” Xu Yuchu turned his head and calmly looked at Xu Wanwan. His eyes were expressionless. “Sis, did you take me to the hospital?”

When Xu Wanwan heard him call her sister, her heart was surprised. “I just happened to see you and took you here.”
After saying that, she was silent for a few seconds before looking up at the young man again.
She could not bear it.
If she knew that the Xu family did not care about his safety, he would feel terrible.
Xu Wanwan had experienced such a betrayal, so she did not want him to experience the same feeling.
“Don’t worry. Your family just doesn’t have the time right now. When they’re free, they’ll definitely rush to the hospital to see you.”
“It’ll be fine as long as I take care of you now.”
When Xu Yuchu heard that, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, his smile looking somewhat wan. “Sis, you’re so kind.”
Xu Wanwan, who had never experienced such kinship in her entire life, just shook her head. “It’s okay, don’t feel burdened.”
The two of them had never spent time together, so they were relatively silent as they stayed in the ward.
The atmosphere in the ward was once again quiet, and Xu Wanwan did not do anything else. She just sat quietly by his side and accompanied him.
He was also such a pitiful child.
Since he was young, he did not talk much and had been studying so seriously to please the Xu family. Coupled with Xu Yue’s provocation, the Xu family’s attitude toward him was neither warm nor cold.
She had the option to leave, but where could he escape to?
“Sis, you lied to me.” An extremely cold voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Xu Wanwan’s heart tightened. “What’s wrong?”
Xu Yuchu’s eyelashes trembled slightly as he looked at her quietly.
“The murderer has already been caught, but Dad and Mother did not care.”
Even his tone was without ripples.
This kind of calmness was heartbreaking.
Xu Wanwan’s heart ached slightly. Suddenly, she did not know what kind of words to use to comfort him.
She finally realized that even after learning about culture for so many years, she would still be so lacking at this moment.
She thought that he was so calm because he did not know anything, but he knew everything.
He had no choice but to forcibly use this method to accept it.
Xu Yuchu did not want to see Xu Wanwan put in a difficult position and said in a low voice, “Sister, this matter has nothing to do with you. I heard it myself.”
Actually, he had woken up long ago. While he was lying in the ward, he heard a commotion outside.
That’s how he learned that Xu Yue was the one who had called the hit on him. He also heard how the Xu parents had indulged her for the sake of their interests.
One was his most trusted sister, and the other was the parents who had given birth to him and raised him.
Logically speaking, they should love him the most, but these actions that were hurting him were indeed caused by them.
On the other hand, Xu Wanwan, who had not spent time with him for long, had actually saved him time and time again.
Xu Yuchu tried his best to maintain the calmness in his tone, but the emotions in his eyes still showed traces of forbearance.
“Sister, I finally know why you left the Xu family.”
Sometimes, the actions of the people closest to them were even more disappointing.
Xu Wanwan could not help but feel sorry for him. She tried her best to smile and comfort him, “It’s okay, you’re different from me. They might have been confused for a while.”
“You’ve been with them for so long. They have feelings for you.”
As she spoke, she poured Xu Yuchu a glass of water. “Take good care of yourself. When they’re free, they’ll definitely come to the hospital to take care of you.”
Xu Yuchu suddenly lost control of his emotions. He shook his head violently. “No! I don’t want to go back.”
“Yuchu, people always make mistakes. Of course, you can choose not to forgive them,” Xu Wanwan persuaded. “But they’re still your family. Even if you don’t go back, they’ll still come looking for you.”
Xu Yuchu pursed his lips tightly and looked out of the window. He did not say anything else.
Xu Wanwan knew that he must be suffering right now, so she did not say too many meaningless words.
There were many things in life that could only be realized by feeling the pain.
No matter how much others speak, it would be useless.
In the afternoon, Xu Wanwan ordered dinner for Xu Yuchu early. She waited until the nurse arrived and then prepared to leave.
She got up and said in a gentle tone, “Rest well here, I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”
“No need,” Xu Yuchu rejected without any hesitation. “I’m fine by myself. Stay at home with Brother-in-Law.”
His words were extremely natural, as if he really thought of Li Jingran as his Brother-in-Law.
Xu Wanwan facepalmed and couldn’t help but say, “He’s not your Brother-in-Law. Don’t talk nonsense anymore.”
Xu Yuchu looked at her indifferently for a few seconds. “Got it.”
Xu Wanwan clicked her tongue lightly. Why does she feel like this kid still hasn’t really figured it out?
On the way back, Xu Wanwan kept thinking about a problem.
Could it be that she had been too flirtatious with Li Jingran, causing them to misunderstand?
If that was really the case, she had to reflect on her actions and correct them.
Otherwise, if people misunderstood her again, she wouldn’t know what kind of a joke she would be.
“Director Li, I found out that Miss Xu went to Master Nanshan’s art gallery this morning.”
In the Li family’s study, the Butler stated proudly.
Li Jingran’s hands stopped working, and he gradually frowned.
He heard Master Nanshan’s name from the Xu family at the hospital.
They also said that Xu Wanwan went to formally become an apprentice to a master apprenticeship and to come back for an investigation to verify the truth of the matter.
Li Jingran said in a deep voice, “Go on.”.
