Chapter 328

“Too much...”

Qin Wei muttered under her breath as she watched He Hong’s departing figure.

“She’s always like this.”

“You’re already awake?”

Qin Wei turned her head to see Qiao Sixiao lying in bed with a calm expression as she looked at her. She had heard everything He Hong had said, she had just been pretending to be asleep.

Half an hour later, He Hong returned. Seeing that Qiao Sixiao was already awake, she said to her:

“I just discussed it with your attending physician. He thinks you need at least three months of recuperation, but I don’t think that’s necessary, it’s too inefficient. I’ve already contacted the best hospital in the Capital City. You need the best treatment. I’ve already gone to transfer you, we’re taking a private jet back now.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Wei and said very politely:

“Miss Qin will come with us too.”

Qin Wei was a little unhappy. She had to say something for Qiao Sixiao:

“She has a fractured wrist, Ms. He. When I dislocated my wrist last time, it hurt for a long time. The doctor said she needs to recuperate for at least a month. Isn’t three months not excessive?!”

Faced with the questioning, He Hong was not annoyed:

“Of course she can, but who will do all her work? Miss Qin, are you willing to take over? How about this - if you consider signing with Happy Company, Qiao Sixiao can rest for half a year.”

“In my current disgraced state, you still dare to sign me?”

“An artist's reputation is fleeting. If Miss Qin is willing, then I can also be patient. I can have someone draft a contract right now...”

“That’s enough.”

Qiao Sixiao impatiently peeled off the monitors stuck to her body and used her left hand to prop herself up in bed,

“If we’re going back, let’s go quickly. What’s the point of you talking to her about this!”

Qin Wei hurried to help her up, and said to her:

“Lie down... there’s no rush, didn’t they say you need to stay for observation for 24 hours? It hasn't been that long yet...”

“Don’t bother with me.”

Qiao Sixiao impatiently glanced at her, then said to He Hong:

“She paid for my hospital fees. Give her the money, 100,000.”

He Hong frowned: “Qiao Sixiao, I do know the fee standards for public hospitals. Even with a deposit, it wouldn’t exceed...”

“You think her time is worthless?”

Qiao Sixiao retorted.

He Hong didn't argue, she just took out her phone and sent a message to her assistant.

“Large transfers will be delayed. Miss Qin, please be patient and wait a moment.”

“There’s no need to...”

Qin Wei wanted to decline, but was glared at by Qiao Sixiao into silence.

He Hong put away her phone and went over to help Qiao Sixiao get out of bed. Qiao Sixiao gently pushed He Hong away, indicating that she didn’t need her help.

“Alright.”

He Hong glanced at Qin Wei,

“The car is waiting at the back door. I've coordinated with the hospital, we'll take the staff passage.”

After He Hong left, Qin Wei went over to support Qiao Sixiao, while also helping her tidy her clothes.

Qiao Sixiao asked her impatiently:

“You seem to understand He Hong pretty well. Don't tell me you're really interested in going to Happy Company?”

“Go to Happy Company to be oppressed by you mother and daughter?”

Qin Wei bid farewell to her fans and got two medical masks from them. She put one on Qiao Sixiao before they went out, then put one on herself. As they walked slowly, she asked:

“Your mother won't transfer me money and then report me for extortion after, right? This isn't some trap you two set up, is it?”

“Yes, you saw right through us.”

Qiao Sixiao lowered her head as she walked slowly. She was basically relying on Qin Wei to move forward. Although her wrist was immobilized, even slight movements were painful.

Combined with the pain all over her body, she had to stop and rest for a bit whenever there were fewer people.

“According to Huaguo law, 100,000 is 3-10 years in prison. That's hardly worth it. And we'd be accomplices, why would she implicate me just to send you to jail?

Besides, I know what kind of person she is... Profit-driven doesn't mean petty. She wouldn't be bothered by such a small sum, not to mention she's not hiding her fondness of you now...

Although in the past she...”

“Let’s not talk about this for now.”

Qin Wei interrupted her words. Seeing that she was in poor condition and her emotions were going downhill, Qin Wei didn’t want her to have a breakdown before even getting on the plane. Although her mother was going too far, Teacher Qiao was innocent and didn’t deserve to be blamed.

So Qin Wei comforted her:

“Don't think too much. I can still tell right from wrong. Just work hard to earn money to repay your mother's debts. Give me all the money you earn and I'll forgive you.”

Qiao Sixiao didn't say anything, just sighed heavily.

... On the drive to the airport, considering Qiao Sixiao’s condition, the driver also drove slower. After arriving at the airport, everyone followed He Hong through the VIP passage and boarded the plane directly.

He Hong had a lot to deal with, so after settling Qiao Sixiao, she went to the window to work. Qin Wei took out her phone and read comics with the phoneless Qiao Sixiao.

Chartered flights are so comfortable. The service is thoughtful throughout and the environment relaxing. It makes the journey feel less tiring.

After a few hours, they arrived at the airport in the Capital City.

Outside the airport, An Xing had arranged for staff to wait early for Qin Wei’s return.

“Miss Qin, this is where we part. I’ll take Qiao Sixiao to the hospital. Sorry for taking up so much of your time. Please go take care of your own matters!”

He Hong helped Qiao Sixiao into the car, then bid Qin Wei farewell.

Qiao Sixiao waved at her from inside the car. Only then did Qin Wei say goodbye to He Hong:

“Then... at least let her rest until she recovers before making her work again. Otherwise she'll be so pitiful...”

He Hong revealed a faint smile and gently patted Qin Wei’s arm. Then she got into the car too.

Qin Wei turned around and got into the company car sent for her. After getting in, she said to her colleague:

“No matter what plans follow, take me home first. All my stuff is still at the drama set. I need to go home, shower, change, then...”

“We're taking you straight home now.”

Her colleague said while driving:

“Brother Li Yao is at the villa. Someone from the neighborhood called the police this morning, saying there was a burglar who broke into your home.”

“Huh?”

Burglary?

...

When she rushed back, Li Yao was sitting in the living room. Besides him, there were several other people. Ignoring them, she went straight in to find Li Yao.

“Little ancestor, calm down first. I know there shouldn't be so many people in your home. I also know I should have told you first thing, but you were too far away. I was afraid you'd panic on the road. I can handle things here, don't be scared or angry, okay?"

Qin Wei didn't bother debating these things with him. She directly asked what she cared about most:

"Who did it? What did they steal? Did you catch them? Who called the police?"

Li Yao: "Haven't caught them yet. Don't know what was stolen. It was a neighbor who called the police..."

Before Li Yao could finish speaking, the woman sitting on the sofa stood up. Dressed in casual activewear, she had a tall, slender figure and a crisp short bob that gave her an energetic and efficient look overall.

"I called the police."

The woman said, raising a hand to greet Qin Wei:

"Long time no see. You've been living quite pitifully lately!"

Qin Wei rolled her eyes at her:

"Long time no see, Instructor Song. Still just as venomous as ever. You must be very bitter inside, right??"

Song Huan laughed and helplessly spread her hands: "Yes, very bitter inside, too painful to speak of."
