Ye Chenhan, realizing Yu Xixi had been talking with Ye Qianzhi, quickly put down what he was holding and walked to the sofa, looking uneasy.
"What are you chatting about?" he asked, bending over and popping some grapes from the fruit platter into his mouth.
While he trusted Yu Xixi, he didn't trust Ye Qianzhi. After all, he had always looked down on him, thinking him inferior to his three older brothers.
Ye Qianzhi snorted, his pleasant demeanor vanishing as he addressed Ye Chenhan. "You're not with Qianqian and the others, so why are you here?"
"Of course, I'm here with my girlfriend," Ye Chenhan said, moving to Yu Xixi's side. Disregarding Ye Qianzhi's opinion, he reached out and put his arm around Yu Xixi's shoulder.
They were the type who could always find a reason to bicker.
Yu Xixi glanced at Ye Ziyu on the hospital bed, and they both sighed almost simultaneously.
"Uncle, it's already noon, everyone must be hungry. Chenhan and I will go downstairs to buy some food. Does anyone want anything?" Yu Xixi pulled away from Ye Chenhan's embrace and stood up to ask.
There was still half an hour before twelve, and indeed, it was time for lunch.
"Mommy, I want a hamburger!"
"Me too!"
Seizing what seemed like a good opportunity to voice their requests, the children temporarily abandoned their toys and looked expectantly at Ye Ziyu.
Normally, Ye Ziyu wouldn't allow them to eat such things, rarely letting them consume what she considered junk food.
Being quite clever, Ye Ziyu finally agreed, "Just this once. After today, you're not allowed to mention hamburgers again for quite some time."
Being able to eat it even once was already great. They didn't dare hope for a second time in the short term.
Yu Xixi made a mental note of everyone's requests, then linked arms with Ye Chenhan, and they left the ward together.
As time passed, Ye Ziyu began to worry about Di Mingjue. She took out her phone and sent a message to inquire about his situation.
Di Jue Company.
Di Mingjue sat opposite the man, his legs crossed. He looked at the other man. "Chen Han, 33 years old, dropped out of college. Has a prior record, no wife, but has a daughter."
As his personal details were recounted word by word, Chen Han looked at the expressionless Di Mingjue with fear. "What do you want?"
"I don't want anything. I'm just trying to understand your situation and guess why you were so determined to crash into my car."
Chen Han fell silent again.
When it came to the matter of the car crash, he refused to reveal a single word.
"Shen Lin, make arrangements. School will be out soon, and it's about time for Mr. Chen's daughter to be dismissed. I heard you pick up and drop off the children. You can't go today, and the child can't be left waiting at the gate," Di Mingjue said to Chen Han.
He disdained using any underhanded methods, and even for matters that could be easily resolved, he didn't want to complicate things.
Whether things would become complicated now depended on Chen Han's cooperation.
"Please, don't hurt my daughter," Chen Han finally broke. Once his daughter was involved, he didn't want anything else. "I'll answer truthfully whatever you want to know, but you have to promise me you won't touch my daughter."
He hadn't sought personal gain, so he was still a conscientious father!
Di Mingjue raised an eyebrow. "Speak. Why were you tailing us, and why did you ram into us?"
"Someone gave me money and told me to get a car to track yours. I thought it was just simple tailing, but halfway through, you discovered me. I called the person, and they told me to crash directly into you. Even if you tied me up, I would insist it was an accidental collision due to distraction while driving. You couldn't do anything even if you were anxious and didn't believe me," Chen Han recounted the entire process.
