“What’s with that expression of yours??”

Xie Xinglin ignored him and instead turned his head to ask Su Qiuge, “How did that person find out.”

Su Qiuge was silent for two seconds, “I contacted him just now when we were on the subway. You’re injured, I’m having him send you back.”

“I forgot to tell you.”

Han Ming finally caught a glimpse of the bandages on Xie Xinglin’s arm. He knitted his brows and walked over to say, “I told you not to go there to help out anymore. How nice is it to just honestly stay at the internet cafe, but you refuse to listen. Although Brother Bald gives more money, it’s still so chaotic inside. If a stubborn and ill-tempered person like you go in for a day, wouldn’t you only end up creating countless enemies for no reason? It’s even possible that you’ll walk in upright, but end up being carried out.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Xie Xinglin’s expression was a little subtle. Han Ming caught a glimpse of Su Qiuge who was next to him before he suddenly closed his mouth.

He almost forgot that Su Qiuge didn’t know about Xie Xinglin’s home situation.

Xie Xinglin pursed his lips and then said, “I’m staying here to get the medicine, you send her back.”

Han Ming checked his watch, any later and it would be dangerous for a girl to go home alone, “Okay.”

Su Qiuge promptly waved her hand, “No need, you should stay here and assist the wounded instead.”

When Han Ming was still caught in a dilemma, Xie Xinglin gave him a look. Han Ming immediately realized that he wanted him to make his own decision, so he still decided to follow Su Qiuge.

He comforted Su Qiuge on the road, “It’s nothing, Xie Xinglin has been living like this since he was a child. He’s living well even if he grew up a little barbarously, so don’t worry about him.”

When they walked down the stairs of the hospital, she finally asked, “Is he really short of money?”

Han Ming was slightly taken back, then wrinkled his brows.

He seemed hesitant on whether to answer or not. Su Qiuge saw his entanglement and understood his predicament, so she smiled and said, “It’s nothing, I was just casually asking.”

Han Ming paused and suddenly remembered the words that Su Qiuge had said to him earlier on WeChat, and how she had specifically asked him to come pick up Xie Xinglin.

This girl probably wasn’t actually as hostile towards Xie Xinglin as the rumors said.

She even seemed to be someone that was quite responsible.

Moreover, Han Ming had been holding these things in his heart for many years, frequently making him worried, so he really wanted to find someone to confide in.

Han Ming sped up a few steps and said to her, “Something happened to Brother Xing’s family in his early years.”

He pursed his lips slightly and continued, “His dad was sick while driving and had an accident, he almost killed another person. They had to pay a lot in compensation alone, later, his mother was also scammed out of a large sum of money while doing business. Then not long after, his mother found a new lover. He was originally born noble, the Xie Family had both power and influence. But unexpectedly, they encountered such an incident, so his temperament became so difficult to get along with……”

Han Ming slowly added, “Actually, Xie Xinglin is a pretty good person, but the stuff that happened during his childhood left a shadow on him, that’s why he’s reluctant to have a deep relationship with others. In the early years, us friends wanted to help him, but he has high self-esteem and is incredibly stubborn. He refused to accept free things from others, so when you saw him working so many jobs, he was actually only helping out.”

Su Qiuge’s footsteps paused and she blinked.

She suddenly remembered what the woman had said to him on the rooftop and his extremely resistant attitude.

It seems everything had an answer.

Han Ming drew out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, “His mother actually married someone with good conditions, but refused to take him. She found a nanny to take care of him in the original house, but the nanny was half-hearted and didn’t care about him after taking the money. Afterward, his aunt couldn’t stand it anymore and took him to live with her.”

Su Qiuge thought for a moment, “Is it Aunt Liu?”

Han Ming was a little surprised, “Do you know her?”

Su Qiuge nodded, “Mhm, I often go to her shop.”
