However, the thing that Jian Yiling knew was that she didn’t dislike such contact.
“You don’t need to apologize,” Hu Jiaojiao continued. “You’re not the one who is trying to harm me. Why are you apologizing? It doesn’t make sense. I’m very scared… Very scared and angry! However, you didn’t do anything wrong! Therefore, there’s no reason for me to be angry at you!”
Hu Jiaojiao was quite emotional as she spoke. As she had just been crying, her voice still shook.
“Thank you.” Jian Yiling said. As those two words came from Jian Yiling’s mouth, they carried extra weight.
Hu Jiaojiao shook her head. Her eyes were red and puffy from her tears. “It’s not your fault in the first place. You don’t need to say sorry, nor do you need to say thank you!”
Luo Xiuen came in just in time to see the scene unfold before her eyes.
Jian Yiling was standing beside the edge of the bed. Her small stature and her chubby white cheeks made Luo Xiuen want to pinch her face.
Hu Jiaojiao who was lying on the bed looked slightly bigger than Jian Yiling. However, compared to Luo Xiuen, the two girls were tiny.
The two little girls were holding hands whilst speaking.
Luo Xiuen smiled as she walked in. There was a pile of stuff in her hands.
Luo Xiuen had gone out to do some shopping for Hu Jiaojiao. She had bought some items that were needed for everyday use and also a midnight snack.
As she knew Jian Yiling was going to come over as well, Luo Xiuen had also bought an extra share.
“Yiling, you should eat this as well. Intaking a reasonable amount of energy is good for your health. You won’t put on weight.”
Following which, Hu Jiaojiao and Jian Yiling both ate some snacks that Luo Xiuen bought.
After Hu Jiaojiao replenished some of her energy, her mood finally stabilized.
Then, Hu Jiaojiao stared at Luo Xiuen. There was gratefulness and admiration in her eyes. “You’re… You’re amazing…”
Last time, Luo Xiuen had thrashed the delinquents that had been bothering Jian Yiling. Back then, Hu Jiaojiao had already felt that Luo Xiuen was amazing.
However, that feeling today was even stronger.
“You don’t need to be polite to me. It’s not a big deal. Furthermore, you’re Jian Yiling’s friend. That means you’re my friend as well. Let’s exchange contact details in a bit. If you get into trouble next time, just call me!”
Luo Xiuen’s words gave Hu Jiaojiao a sense of security.
Although Hu Jiaojiao felt slightly bad for encroaching on Luo Xiuen’s kindness, she still agreed with the idea. It made her feel incredibly relieved.
And thus, the two of them exchanged contact details.
After spending some more time with Hu Jiaojiao, Luo Xiuen and Jian Yiling left the hospital.
On the way downstairs, Luo Xiuen said to Jian Yiling, “By the way Jian Yiling, I’ve questioned those thugs for you. They saw the offer on the dark web. However, they don’t know the person who posted the information. It’s not easy to verify and track down information on the dark web. However, I’ll get someone from the institution to contact a computer expert for you. I’ll make sure that we figure out who’s behind this. I’m ready to bash their heads in.”
It was quite difficult to find a computer expert who excelled in tracking down information on the dark web. As a result, Luo Xiuen had yet found relevant information regarding the person who posted the offer.
As they spoke, Jian Yiling’s phone rang.
When Jian Yiling took out her phone, she saw that she didn’t recognize the number.
Jian Yiling hesitated for a moment before she decided to answer the phone.
There was a young man’s voice that came from the other side of the phone.
“Yiling, it’s your brother Huo Yu.”
Jian Yiling held the phone in silence for a moment: “…”
“No way, don’t tell me you don’t remember me.”
“I remember.”
Huo Yu was Jian Yuncheng’s friend. As of right now, he was working in Jian Yuncheng’s overseas gaming company.”
In his high school days, Huo Yu had visited the Jian family several times. As a result, he had previously met the Jian Yiling from the original novel.
“Yiling, why don’t you call me Brother Yu? If you do that, I’ll let you know some news. Do you want to know?”
