Chapter 2426: Meeting
Ye Tian looked at the caller ID and did not answer for a long time.
The call hung up automatically.
After a while, he called again.
Ye Tian took a deep breath and answered the call.
She did not speak until he said, “Are you listening?”
Ye Tian hummed coldly. “Say what you have to say.”
Perhaps her tone was too distant and cold, Gu Yang was stunned for a moment.
Ye Tian said impatiently, “If you don’t speak, I’m hanging up.”
“My mom… Did she look for you today?” Gu Yang’s voice sounded a little dark. “Did she say something bad?”
Ye Tian replied, “No.”
“That’s good.”
There was a long silence between them.
Before Ye Tian hung up, she heard him say, “I’m sorry.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. I’ve already gotten over it. If there’s nothing else, that’s all!” Ye Tian hung up first.
Gu Yang stared at the darkened screen, her lips pursed into a tight line.
After some time, he called Xu Wei.
Her phone was switched off and no one knew where she had gone.
Gu Yang punched the wall.
With her condition, why was she still running around?
Xu Wei could not get through and Gu Yang contacted her driver.
The driver only knew that Xu Wei had gone to look for Ye Tian. Later, she said that she wanted to walk around Capital University, but he could not find her.
….
After Ye Tian answered Gu Yang’s call, she felt that something was wrong.
She called the Head of the Royal Hospital.
After finding out that Xu Wei had not returned to the hospital after coming out in the afternoon, Ye Tian furrowed her eyebrows.
Xu Wei was missing?
She was seriously ill now, where could she go?
Ye Tian immediately called the secret guard who was protecting her. “Help me check the surveillance cameras outside the Capital University and see where Gu Yang’s mother, Madam Xu, went after meeting me in the afternoon.”
The surveillance cameras outside the Capital University were not something ordinary people could check.
But Ye Tian was a princess of the royal family and had the right to check the surveillance cameras.
Ye Tian did not sleep well that night. The next morning, she received a message from the secret guard.
The secret guards had already found where Xu Wei had gone.
She arrived at an old villa by the sea in the suburbs.
The secret guard sent the address to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian thought for a while and asked the driver to send her to the suburbs.
Xu Wei’s villa in the suburbs looked a little old from the outside.
The surrounding plants and flowers were taken care of neatly and were a suitable place for retirement.
The wooden railing was not locked. Ye Tian pushed open the door and went in.
She stood in front of the villa and pressed the doorbell.
After a while, the door opened.
Xu Wei was sitting in a wheelchair and looked at Ye Tian in surprise.
“Little Princess?”
Ye Tian looked at Xu Wei’s pale face and pursed her lips. “I’m sorry to disturb you.”
Xu Wei shook her head and pressed the button to let Ye Tian into the villa.
Ye Tian realized that there was no one else in the villa apart from Xu Wei.
There was a wedding photo hanging in the living room. It was old and the photo was turning yellow.
It should be the wedding photo of Gu Yang’s father and Xu Wei.
“This is the first villa Gu Yang’s father and I bought when we first got married. The decor inside was designed by us and the furniture was chosen by us.”
Xu Wei looked at the wedding photos on the wall. “I used to love his father very much, so when I found out that his father had betrayed the family, I vented my emotions on Gu Yang.”
Ye Tian said, “The adults’ fault is on their own child, but he doesn’t hate you and is even willing to donate his kidney to you. Madam Xu, you’re lucky to have such a child!”
Xu Wei’s eyes turned red and she nodded with a heavy expression. “I owe Ah Yang the most in my life.”
So, she would not want his kidney. She would rather die like this than implicate him!
Ye Tian did not miss the flash of determination in Xu Wei’s eyes.
Xu Wei did not return to the hospital last night and came to the first villa she and Gu Yang’s father had bought. Could it be that…
“Madam Xu, it’s not the most desperate time yet. If you give up just like that, not only will Gu Yang not be grateful to you, she will hate you forever.”
“You already owe him. Is leaving the best compensation for him?”
Xu Wei looked at the beautiful girl in front of her. Her bright doe eyes were shining with intelligence and calmness, as if she had guessed everything.
Xu Wei’s hands on her knees clenched into tight fists.
“My blood type is special. It’s hard to find a suitable kidney and time is tight. I don’t have long to live.” Xu Wei covered her face with her hands, tears flowing from between her fingers. “I owe him so much. How can I have another kidney?”
“I’ll get my family to help me find a kidney.” Ye Tian looked at Xu Wei. “Anyway, you’re not allowed to give up your life until the last step!”
Xu Wei’s tear-stained lips trembled slightly.
After her emotions stabilized, Xu Wei said to Ye Tian, “Okay, I promise you.”
Seeing that Xu Wei had thought it through, Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to leave, but Xu Wei asked her to stay.
“I asked Auntie Wang next door to come and help me make lunch.” Xu Wei pointed upstairs. “The second room after going upstairs is where Ah Yang stayed when she was young. Little Princess, go up and rest for a while!”
Ye Tian went upstairs.
Pushing open the room Gu Yang had stayed in when she was young, Ye Tian walked in.
There were many photos of Gu Yang when she was young hanging in the room.
In the photo, Gu Yang looked to be about four or five years old. She was wearing a school uniform and had a head full of watermelon hair. She looked delicate and cute.
She could not imagine that he would be so arrogant and unruly when he grew up.
The biggest impact of a family’s change was a child.
Gu Yang’s change should have started with his father’s death!
Ye Tian walked around the room and saw several small pink notes on the desk. She walked over and took a look.
Seeing the love letter the little girl had written for him, he burst out laughing.
The girl did not know how to write his name. Perhaps it was because he had the head of a watermelon back then. There was a small drawing of a watermelon and below it was the image of two children eating ice cream.
Ye Tian could guess that the girl wanted to invite him to eat ice cream.
The sound of a car engine came from downstairs and Ye Tian looked down.
Gu Yang got out of the car.
He had come looking for her.
Ye Tian’s long and thick eyelashes fluttered and a trace of nervousness appeared in her heart.
Would he think that she still cared about him if he saw her here?
Ye Tian glanced downstairs. If only she could jump to the yard and leave quietly!
