Chapter 255 - 255 Expose

255 Expose

When Yu Bing thought of the delivery time she had agreed on with the machinery factory, she felt a little troubled. It wasn’t appropriate for her to leave Xiao Sheng all alone when he was hospitalized.

Xiao Sheng also knew that Yu Bing went to order the machine today and guessed that Yu Bing was probably planning to go back tomorrow, so he took the initiative to suggest, “Go back with the machine first. Food is provided in the hospital’s canteen. I’ll ask the nurse to help me get food.”

Nurses could help him get food, but they wouldn’t help wash the patient’s clothes. This was the family’s responsibility. Yu Bing frowned as she thought about how to deal with this.

Zeng Li wanted to interrupt and say that he could get his family to send food every day, but he suddenly thought of something and shut his mouth.

At that moment, Yu Bing thought about Xiao Li’s matter and had a plan. “I’ll stay here. The machinery will be shipped back tomorrow, so I’ll talk to the machinery factory and ask them to bring Xiao Li and Xiao Lin over when they come back. This way, Xiao Li can go to the hospital for a checkup. We’ll go back together after you’re discharged.”

When Zeng Li heard this, he secretly revealed a smile of approval.

Xiao Sheng also felt that this plan was good, but he knew that the village’s industrial chain needed many things to be done, so he didn’t want to delay Yu Bing. “Go back first. I’ll give the driver some compensation for his hard work, so when the driver brings Xiao Li here, he’ll send her to the hospital entrance. After I’m discharged, I’ll bring Xiao Li back to the village after the checkup.”

Zeng Li glared at Xiao Sheng angrily. When Xiao Sheng saw this, he frowned in confusion.

Fortunately, Yu Bing didn’t notice the interaction between the two of them. When she heard Xiao Sheng’s words, she knew that he didn’t want to trouble her. She rejected his idea. “Just do as I say. I’ll make the call now.”

Zeng Li watched as Yu Bing left and said resentfully, “Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng, if you don’t change your mindset, you’ll be single for the rest of your life!”

Xiao Sheng rolled his eyes at Zeng Li. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Zeng Li sat on the stool in front of the bed and said with frustration, “I can take care of you, but why didn’t I say anything? I was creating an opportunity for you so that Yu Bing would feel worried when she thought about how you didn’t have anyone to take care of you and would stay. But, you actually ruined the opportunity!”

When Xiao Sheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment. “Stop associating her with me. It’ll affect her reputation.”

When Zeng Li heard this, he revealed a look of disdain. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Stop acting like you’re not familiar with her. Do you dare to swear on your soul that you don’t like her?”

Xiao Sheng choked, but then he took a deep breath and said, “I don’t like her.”

When Zeng Li saw Xiao Sheng’s stubborn attitude, he snorted. “I wonder who was so worried after seeing her get out of the truck that night.” Although Zeng Li didn’t say anything that day, he saw everything.

Xiao Sheng coughed lightly, but didn’t speak.

Seeing this, Zeng Li continued to provoke Xiao Sheng. “Yu Bing is a kind girl. She’s also good-looking and capable. Let me tell you, if you don’t make a move, she’ll be wooed by another man sooner or later. Even without me, there’ll be someone else. Are you really willing to see her smile in another man’s arms?”

When Xiao Sheng heard Zeng Li’s words, that scene appeared in his mind involuntarily. He suddenly felt suffocated, as if his heart was being pinched by a hand, and his hands, which were under the blanket, involuntarily clenched into fists.

Zeng Li was observing Xiao Sheng’s expression carefully when he suddenly realized that the needle of the infusion was a little swollen. “The needle is running! You can’t exert force with your hand that has the needle inserted.”

Seeing this, Zeng Li teased, “See, your body is much more honest than your mouth. Just thinking about that scene is unbearable to you.”

Xiao Sheng had never thought that he would fall in love with Yu Bing. He had seen Yu Bing’s love and care for his siblings, so his good impression of her was more out of gratitude, and he had always thought that they only trusted each other as business partners.

Coupled with the issue regarding Xiao Li’s eyes, Xiao Sheng had never considered dating or getting married. Now that Zeng Li had exposed him, Xiao Sheng realized that he had fallen in love with Yu Bing at some point. It wasn’t because of gratitude, but because he was attracted to her as a person.

He began to feel conflicted. “What’s the point of liking her? She’s an intellectual from the city. I’m just a country bumpkin.”

Zeng Li had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so he couldn’t understand Xiao Sheng’s mindset. He only felt that Xiao Sheng was complicating something simple.
