Watching the approaching figure, not only Zhang Xiaoshan, but even Ge Xiue were stunned.
Yu Xiuxiu.
It was actually his sister-in-law, Yu Xiuxiu.
In an instant, both of their hearts were in their throats.
Luckily, their earlier conversation hadn’t gone over any lines, and Yu Xiuxiu couldn’t discern anything from it.
"Sister-in-law, you, why are you here?"
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Yu Xiuxiu with a slightly guilty expression.
After all, he had just won a woman and brought her back ho; if Yu Xiuxiu erupted, what would he do?
"I ca to check on this woman’s condition."
As usual, Yu Xiuxiu entered the room and examined the woman’s injuries, then spoke to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Her injuries are quite severe; she needs good care. I’ll change her dressings. Moreover, it’s convenient for you to treat her at our house. Besides, I’m alone at ho every day; having her to talk to wouldn’t be bad."
Zhang Xiaoshan was stunned for a good while.
This was too unexpected.
"Why are you staring at like that?" Yu Xiuxiu felt sowhat uncomfortable being stared at by Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan spoke apprehensively.
"Sister-in-law, you, you’re not angry?"
Yu Xiuxiu rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiaoshan and pretended to be angry as she spoke.
"Do you really think of your sister-in-law as the type of petty woman who can’t discern right from wrong?"
"This woman is so pitiable; she should be helped."
"You’re the young man I’ve watched grow up; couldn’t I tell that you were gambling to help her?"
"You did the right thing today."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan breathed a long sigh of relief.
It seems he had overthought things.
But there was another reason Yu Xiuxiu did not voice.
That was to keep the woman under her watchful eye, guarding against Zhang Xiaoshan losing control and doing sothing inappropriate.
After all, it’s easy for sparks to fly when a single man and woman stay together alone, wasn’t it the sa between her and Zhang Xiaoshan?
"Co on, let’s go ho."
Yu Xiuxiu approached the hospital bed to greet the aristocratic woman.
But the aristocratic woman scread in terror, curling up and shouting,
"Don’t, don’t co near, don’t touch , go away, you go away."
"I, I don’t know you."
"Zhang Xiaoshan, save , save !"
Due to the long-term tornt by Wei Bao, the aristocratic woman’s spirit was crushed, showing so signs of ntal issues that needed ti to heal.
At that mont, the aristocratic woman seed like a child in need of care; in her subconscious, only Zhang Xiaoshan was trustworthy.
"Don’t be afraid."
Zhang Xiaoshan approached the hospital bed, soothed the woman’s emotions, and explained,
"Her na is Yu Xiuxiu, my sister-in-law; her ho is my ho, and she wants to take you back to our house."
Not sure if it was a guilty conscience or what.
When Zhang Xiaoshan ntioned the term "sister-in-law," both glanced at each other inadvertently, then blushed and averted their gazes.
"Your house?"
"Yes, are we going back to your house?"
The woman looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with doubt.
Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.
Only then did the woman feel a bit relieved.
"Okay, let’s go, go to your house."
"Then alright, you guys take her and go, it’s good for Xiuxiu to have so company. I’ll leave first."
Ge Xiue, seeing this, greeted them and left.
She feared that Yu Xiuxiu would notice sothing between her and Zhang Xiaoshan—where would she put her face then?
After Ge Xiue had left, Yu Xiuxiu then spoke to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Alright, let’s head ho."
"Okay."
Hearing his sister-in-law agreeing to let him go ho, Zhang Xiaoshan couldn’t help but feel delighted and was about to lift the woman.
"You were planning to let her go bare like that?"
Yu Xiuxiu said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Zhang Xiaoshan awkwardly scratched his head.
"I was too hurried, forgot."
"I knew it, a big man like you, always so careless. I brought my clothes for her to wear." Yu Xiuxiu scolded Zhang Xiaoshan like an adult chiding a child.
But Zhang Xiaoshan was actually happy.
It seems that the distance his sister-in-law had shown before was all just an act.
Only then did he notice, in Yu Xiuxiu’s hand was a plastic bag carrying a loose green dress.
Zhang Xiaoshan reached out to take it.
But Yu Xiuxiu pulled the plastic bag back slightly.
"What, you plan to change her clothes yourself?"
Yu Xiuxiu widened her eyes and looked at Zhang Xiaoshan "smilingly".
"No good, her eyes are murderous."
Zhang Xiaoshan shivered inside and hastily said goofily,
"How could I? I just wanted to look. You go ahead, I’ll step outside."
Worried about Yu Xiuxiu exploding in anger, Zhang Xiaoshan quickly dashed out of the health room.
Bored, Zhang Xiaoshan squatted at the doorway flipping through his phone.
Suddenly, a series of missed calls popped up on his screen.
All from Xu Jing, without exception,
Followed by a text ssage.
"Bad guy, you don’t keep your promises, did you forget what you agreed?"
"Oh no."
It was at that mont that Zhang Xiaoshan finally realized that he had promised Xu Jing that night to accompany her to a class reunion today.
But he had been too busy dealing with Wei Bao and had completely forgotten about it.
In places like White Dragon Village, which was tucked away in the mountains, many areas had no signal, so he presud Xu Jing had tried many tis to call him, and he had not received them.
Initially, Wu Yong’s deceitful girlfriend had gone behind the mountain searching for signal only for Zhang Xiaoshan to end up having a fling with her.
"She must be anxious waiting."
Zhang Xiaoshan glanced back inside the room.
The aristocratic woman couldn’t move herself, relying entirely on Yu Xiuxiu to change her clothes, which would probably take so ti.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoshan picked up his phone and ran towards a nearby hill.
