Chapter 6757
Don't be fooled by him
Yun Jingtian's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them, but he forced them back.
Looking at his daughter's strained appearance, her thin shoulders seemed to bear the weight of the entire world, and his heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.
He hated himself for being incompetent, unable to provide his daughter with a good living environment, unable to get his wife timely treatment, and for causing his daughter so much suffering.
He secretly vowed to himself that he would find a way to change all of this, no matter the cost.
I was so incredibly stupid. I was blinded by that so-called business opportunity and was only thinking about expanding the business, making it bigger and stronger, and giving my family a better life.
So, in a moment of impulse, he borrowed money from his family.
At that time, we only saw the bright prospects of the future, but we did not expect that the business world is like a battlefield, with unpredictable changes.
Now, instead of thriving as expected, the business has fallen into difficulties and has been exploited by others, becoming their weakness.
Right now, his wife is lying in a hospital bed, her life hanging by a thread, and she urgently needs ten million yuan for surgery.
This ten million was like an insurmountable mountain, weighing him down and making it hard for him to breathe.
He went around trying to borrow money from relatives and friends, but mostly he was met with rejection and perfunctory responses.
Meanwhile, his family took advantage of his misfortune, not only refusing to help him but also joining forces with others to pressure him and force him to submit.
What pained him even more was that his daughter, Yun Yuyan, was also schemed against because of his incompetence.
Those people, under the guise of doing what's best for her, actually wanted to push her into a pit of fire.
Looking into his daughter's stubborn yet helpless eyes, he felt like a complete failure as a father.
He was unable to protect his family and provide his daughter with a stable living environment, instead causing her to suffer along with him.
He was filled with self-blame and regret, and wished he could slap himself a few times.
Just as Yunxi and Zhou Meilan were about to continue pressuring Yun Yuyan, their aggressive stance seemingly pushing her to the brink, a cold voice came from behind: "Who dares to speak ill of my friend?"
The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap, exploding in the silent room.
Yun Yuyan shuddered, as if struck by an electric current, and her previously dim eyes instantly lit up.
She looked up and saw Xiao Chen walking towards her with steady steps, a confident smile on his lips, a smile that seemed to dispel all gloom.
But there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, like an ice blade in the dead of winter, making people shudder.
Yun Yuyan was both surprised and delighted, her voice trembling slightly: "Why are you here?"
She couldn't believe her eyes; at her most helpless moment, Xiao Chen had actually appeared.
Xiao Chen walked to her side, his movements natural and practiced. He naturally put one arm around her waist, and his warm and strong arm made Yun Yuyan feel at ease.
With her other hand, she took out a tissue and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, saying softly, "Silly girl, you didn't even tell me you were sick. Do you still consider me a friend?"
His voice was deep and warm, like the warm sun in winter, which gradually calmed Yun Yuyan's originally flustered heart.
Just as Yun Yuyan was about to explain, wanting to tell him about her current predicament and helplessness, she saw Xiao Chen wink at her, his eyes full of mischief and hints.
She immediately understood, her cheeks turning bright red like ripe apples, and she lowered her head shyly: "How could I let you suffer along with me?"
She knew that Xiao Chen was protecting her in his own way, not wanting her to be further embarrassed in front of these people. Xiao Chen smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Your business is my business."
“I’ve paid for Auntie’s medical expenses. The doctor said she can have surgery anytime, with a 70% success rate.”
"I've also invited the renowned Physician Xiao to come, so there shouldn't be any problems!"
As he spoke, he patted his chest, looking very confident, as if everything was under his control.
Upon hearing "Dr. Xiao," Yun Yuyan was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter through her tears.
Even at a time like this, this guy is still bragging.
She knew perfectly well what was going on. Didn't she realize that he himself was none other than the "Miracle Doctor Xiao"?
Xiao Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mischievous smile. He deliberately pointed to his face, his eyes full of teasing, and joked, "Hey, I've been running around doing all this, spending money and effort, aren't you going to reward me?"
His tone was relaxed yet filled with anticipation, as if he were waiting for Yun Yuyan to give him a big surprise.
Yun Yuyan's face instantly turned bright red, like the magnificent sunset on the horizon.
She never expected Xiao Chen to be so bold as to make such a request.
You know, she's always been a good girl her whole life, she's never even held a boy's hand, let alone kissed him.
Her heart was pounding like a rabbit's, and her palms were sweating with nervousness.
But when she saw the suspicious looks in Zhou Meilan and Yunxi's eyes, those eyes were full of doubt and mockery, as if saying, "Let's see how long you can keep up this act."
A stubborn streak rose within Yun Yuyan.
She thought to herself, "I can't let these people laugh at me, I can't let them think that Xiao Chen and I are just putting on an act."
So, she steeled herself, closed her eyes tightly as if gathering all her courage, and quickly gave Xiao Chen a light kiss on the cheek, her voice carrying a hint of shyness and determination: "I'll give it to you!"
The kiss seemed to freeze time, leaving everyone present stunned.
The Yun Jingguo family was stunned, as if they had been frozen in place, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg.
Their eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief, as if they had seen something incredible.
Yunxi's eyes widened, her face displaying a fascinating array of expressions, shifting between green and white, like a spilled palette of colors.
Yun Jingtian was also dumbfounded. He stood aside, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
He had never heard his daughter mention having a boyfriend. His daughter's life had always been simple and pure, and he assumed that her mind was focused on her work.
Seeing his daughter and Xiao Chen behaving so intimately, he was momentarily stunned, his mind went blank, and he just stood there, speechless.
After a few seconds of silence, Yunxi's bright red lips parted in a mocking smile.
She gracefully twirled the chain of her limited-edition Birkin bag on her burgundy nail polished fingertips, slowly approaching in ten-centimeter heels, her expensive Chanel suit rustling with each step.
Those almond-shaped eyes, with their delicate eyeliner, scanned Xiao Chen's face like a scanner, from his faded cuffs to the frayed edges of his clothes, finally settling on the ordinary black sneakers at his feet.
"Yun Yuyan, some people are all talk and no action. Don't be fooled!" Yun Xi suddenly sneered, her meticulously styled curly hair swaying gently with her movement, the contempt in her eyes almost tangible. (End of Chapter)
