Jian You soon found that the car not far away was likely theirs.
As expected, she saw Lan Lexuan walk towards the car. She had no intention of leaving; she would wait here for their so-called grandmother.
However, she didn't expect Lan Lexuan to get out of the car with something and then… give it to her…
Jian You lowered her head. It was a hemostatic agent. She had seen something similar from Normanis, and she also had some in her bag… Normanis had prepared quite thoroughly for her.
Still, looking at Lan Lexuan, she accepted it and walked directly into the car. There was no place for her to change her dressing here.
"Is she injured?"
Lan Hanyu looked at the bodyguard, who nodded. "Yes, Young Master Hanyu. A cat suddenly attacked just now, and she seemed to have been injured before, so it must have worsened. She bled a lot."
Lan Hanyu had also noticed this, which was why he hadn't finished speaking. He had seen the large patch of blood on her front, yet she acted as if nothing had happened…
And this cat…
Soon, the sound of footsteps approached. Lan Hanyu turned his head and indeed saw his grandmother and the others coming.
"What's wrong? Why aren't we going anymore?" Didn't we already reach the airport?
Although the bodyguard had reported back, she still didn't understand. What was the connection?
Lan Hanyu said directly, "Grandmother, I don't want to go play anymore. Let's go back, shall we?"
With Lan Hanyu saying that, Luo Qinlan would not refuse. At this moment, Jian You also came down after changing her clothes.
Luo Qinlan looked up and saw a very ordinary, frail person whose complexion was so pale that a gust of wind might blow her away. Could such a person protect a child?
However, with her previous mistake, Luo Qinlan dared not to have opinions about these people so easily. They were kindly sending someone over, and they wouldn't send just anyone.
"Jian You, right? You're still injured, so you shouldn't have come down. It just so happens that we're going back too."
Jian You was not polite at all. She nodded, turned around, and stepped into the car. She had no strength now and didn't want to stay down any longer, especially after losing blood. She felt cold all over, and it was so cold outside.
Luo Qinlan did not expect the other party to be so straightforward, and… well, it was fine, she got into the car.
Lan Lexuan sat behind Jian You, close to her. After a while, he turned his gaze back to Jian You, then withdrew his eyes and looked out the window with a沉寂 (chénjì - subdued, silent) expression…
Jian You knew he was looking at her, but she was very tired and just wanted to sleep. So, before long, Jian You leaned against the seat and fell asleep.
Seeing this, Lan Lexuan picked up the plush blanket beside him and gently covered her. He twitched his nose and sniffed twice. This time, apart from blood, there was no other scent.
His eyes dimmed again, and he slowly sat back, as if nothing could stir even a trace of his interest.
Lan Hanyu looked at his brother's actions strangely. Why was he, who had lost interest in everyone and everything, going to care about a woman again and again? And even save her?
Lan Tongtong had not spoken the whole way. She thought her brother didn't want her to be too noisy, so he didn't want to go…
Upon returning, Jian You went back to the room arranged for her, while Lan Hanyu went into his own room. As for Lan Lexuan, as soon as they returned, he went into his small room.
Luo Qinlan covered her face. After a long while, she let go. She had to tell them about today's events, blaming herself for not making proper arrangements, which resulted in someone getting injured right under her nose.
"Qinlan, have you received the person? Was it smooth? Is she feeling uncomfortable anywhere today?"
Luo Qinlan did not expect to receive a series of questions as soon as the call connected, and it seemed like they were quite concerned about this Jian You.
Yao Qianya also realized her gaffe and immediately adjusted herself.
"Qinlan, it's like this. Jian You's parents were never around since she was young, so I care about her a little more than others. She got injured this time while saving me. Can you help me look after her?"
Luo Qinlan found it strange. Judging by her tone, she seemed quite concerned, but if she was truly concerned, why would she send her here?
However, she also understood that high society was too complicated, and not all problems required answers, so she wouldn't ask too many questions.
"Don't worry, I won't let her go out until she's better. I'm calling you this time to apologize."
After a pause, Luo Qinlan continued, "Jian You was injured by a cat at the airport just now…"
"You said she was scratched by a cat? Is it serious? Did she see a doctor? What did the doctor say?"
Before Luo Qinlan could finish speaking, Yao Qianya was almost crying with anxiety.
Perhaps sensing Yao Qianya's anxiety, Luo Qinlan quickly replied, "She refused to see a doctor and went straight to sleep after returning. You see…"
This refusal to see a doctor finally brought Yao Qianya back to her senses. She looked at Normanis for help, and Normanis directly took the phone.
"Mrs. Xuan, there's no need to call a doctor for her. Let her sleep first. She's been traveling all this way and has a wound, so it's natural for her to be tired. We can talk when she wakes up…"
Luo Qinlan felt something was strange, but she couldn't figure it out at the moment. "I'm truly sorry. I should have arranged for someone to go find her…"
After a few more words, the call ended. Normanis saw his wife turn to him, looking displeased.
"Duoduo will recover on her own. We shouldn't worry too much."
Yao Qianya, however, suddenly pounced into his arms and began to beat him randomly. "So what if Duoduo has turned bad? Why must you send her away?! Can you bring Duoduo back? She had an accident right after leaving. Aren't you worried?"
She was afraid she would have to live in constant fear from now on.
Normanis was naturally worried, but this was Duoduo's path. They couldn't forcefully make decisions for her. If they were willful, their child would resent them in the future.
"Qianya, don't worry. As long as I'm still here, I will never let Duoduo be in danger. I will arrange for some people from here to secretly protect her."
Yao Qianya immediately pushed him. "Then hurry! If someone is following Duoduo, no one will bully her!"
If Baroque hadn't felt guilty, he wouldn't have gotten sick and would still be listless now, so he wasn't allowed to go with them. Looking at it now, it would have been better to let him go, as he had no spirit.
"Baroque, you must protect your little master well, okay? I really… can't lose her anymore…"
Yao Qianya's emotions became uncontrollable again. Ever since she saw her daughter Duoduo covered in blood, she hadn't had a good night's sleep, waking up startled in the middle of the night. Now that she was gone, she slept even worse.
"Woof~"
Baroque wants to be by his little master's side. Hurry up and send me there!
Even with such a bark, Baroque was weak and listless, let alone able to take care of his little master.
