The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

"Are you... are you going to the hospital? Do you need me to take you?"

The girl had barely opened her mouth when she suddenly remembered that Xie Yumin had been nearly hit by a car and only narrowly escaped...

Now, apart from himself, the driver hasn't said a word!

"How do you drive..."

Upon thinking of this, the girl instinctively turned her head and scolded him.

But as her gaze fell, she discovered that the gray sedan that had been leaning against the roadside had completely disappeared without a trace!

"Little girl... never mind... never mind."

Faced with this situation, Xie Yumin could only shake her head with a wry smile and accept her bad luck. She then looked at the girl and forced a smile, "Um... could you please take me to the hospital across the street?"

……

Supported by the young girl, Xie Yumin limped back to the ward.

Although she tried to keep her steps steady, each step felt like walking on a knife's edge, and the wounds on her knees and arms kept sending piercing pain through her.

She forced a smile through her discomfort, though her mind was racing with thoughts.

Looking at Mengmeng, who was intently playing with her toys on the hospital bed, she felt a complex mix of emotions.

The little girl who suddenly appeared in her life made her feel both warm and somewhat bewildered.

"Should we... take her to get her tested?"

Xie Yumin seemed somewhat conflicted.

After all, if word got out that a young girl had suddenly appeared by his side, people would definitely gossip.

Moreover, she herself is usually busy with work, and it is indeed difficult for her to take care of Mengmeng.

But whenever Xie Yumin saw Mengmeng's innocent smile, she always felt a little uneasy about letting Ruolan keep taking care of her like this...

Let's not think about this for now.

Xie Yumin quickly shook her head upon thinking of this, "Right now, Ruolan is always by Mengmeng's side, so there's practically no chance for her to take Mengmeng for testing alone."

Xie Yumin sighed softly, deciding to put the matter aside for the time being and take care of her injuries first.

"Hello, do you know this lady?"

The girl who had been helping Xie Yumin through the door saw her standing there in a daze, and after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but speak up.

The moment she opened her mouth, two pairs of eyes in the ward were immediately drawn to her.

"what?"

Hearing the noise, Mengmeng looked up and saw Xie Yumin limping in. The smile on her face immediately vanished.

She quickly put down her toys, jumped off the bed, and ran to Xie Yumin's side.

"Auntie, what's wrong? What happened to your leg?"

Mengmeng held Xie Yumin's hand, her eyes filled with heartache.

Xie Yumin felt a warmth in her heart. She squatted down and tried to make her voice sound more relaxed: "Mengmeng, Auntie is fine. I just accidentally fell and it hurts a little. It's nothing serious."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Yumin quickly looked at the girl beside her and thanked her repeatedly.

"Thank you so much, young lady. It's really kind of you to bring me all this way."

"It's okay, sister. It's what I should do."

Mengmeng didn't believe it. She frowned and carefully examined Xie Yumin's wound: "Auntie, you lost a lot of blood. It must hurt a lot. Let me blow on it for you, and it won't hurt anymore."

As she spoke, Mengmeng puffed out her cheeks and gently blew air onto Xie Yumin's wound.

Xie Yumin was deeply moved by Mengmeng's earnest expression. She fought back tears and smiled, saying, "Mengmeng is so good. Auntie really doesn't hurt anymore. Look, Auntie is perfectly fine."

Just then, Ruolan walked over from the side. She looked at Xie Yumin's disheveled appearance, and a slight, almost imperceptible sneer appeared on her lips.

"Oh dear, Miss Xie, what's wrong with you?"

Ruolan deliberately raised her voice and said, "You're an adult, how can you not even take care of yourself?"

“If you continue to stay like this, who knows if you can take good care of Mengmeng?”

Xie Yumin felt a mix of emotions after hearing Ruolan's words.

Having stayed with Ruolan for so long, Xie Yumin naturally knew that Ruolan was deliberately making things difficult for her and trying to force her to leave.

But this time it was indeed an accidental injury, and Xie Yumin couldn't refute it now that things had come to this.

He could only silently endure Ruolan's ridicule.

"Aunt Ruolan, you've gone too far!"

Mengmeng couldn't stand it anymore. She put her hands on her hips, her face flushed red, and said to Ruolan like a little adult, "Aunt Ruolan, you're not allowed to talk to Aunt Xie like that!"

"Auntie just tripped and fell, she's already in a lot of pain, and you're still saying that to her, that's too much!"

"I can't take care of myself either, so does that mean I can't stay with Auntie? Auntie is just a little girl who's a bit older than me, and she's so good to me. I won't let you bully her!"

Ruolan was speechless, stunned by Mengmeng's words. She hadn't expected Mengmeng to defend Xie Yumin so much.

But looking at Mengmeng's puffed-up little face, Ruolan felt both angry and annoyed, but she couldn't show it.

Xie Yumin felt both touched and gratified to see Mengmeng standing up for her.

Then, Xie Yumin gently tugged at Mengmeng's hand and said with a smile, "Mengmeng, don't be angry. Aunt Ruolan is just concerned about you. She didn't mean any harm."

"Auntie is really fine, she just fell and will be fine after a rest."

Mengmeng still pouted and insisted, "Auntie, you're just too kind. Aunt Ruolan said those things about you, and you still defended her."

"I don't care, I'm taking you to a doctor so he can check your wound..."

As she spoke, Mengmeng took Xie Yumin's hand and started to walk out of the ward.

Xie Yumin smiled helplessly and could only follow Mengmeng outside.

Ruolan stood to the side, watching their departing figures, her face terribly gloomy.

In the doctor's office, Mengmeng held Xie Yumin's hand tightly, her eyes fixed on the doctor treating Xie Yumin's wound. When the doctor disinfected Xie Yumin's wound, Mengmeng winced in pain, as if she were the one who was injured.

"Doctor, please be gentle, it will hurt Auntie a lot," Mengmeng said in her childish voice.

The doctor smiled and nodded, saying, "Little friend, Uncle has been very gentle. Your aunt's wound is a bit deep, so it must be properly disinfected, otherwise it will get infected."

Mengmeng nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Even so, Mengmeng held Xie Yumin's hand tightly, as if that would ease the pain.

After treating the wound, the doctor instructed Xie Yumin to rest, avoid getting the wound wet, and prescribed some anti-inflammatory medication.

Mengmeng listened attentively to the doctor's instructions, and then said to Xie Yumin like a little adult, "Auntie, did you hear that? The doctor said you need to rest well and not move around too much."

"I'll keep an eye on you. If you don't listen, I'll ignore you."

Xie Yumin couldn't help but laugh when she saw Mengmeng's serious little face.
