Chapter 185 Uncle Ma Suffers Another Attack from Mingyin
"I know, stop nagging," Ye Xiaoxiao said with a laugh.
Xue Bai was finally dragged away by Gu Ye by the collar.
Chu Xinglan couldn't help but laugh as she watched.
"Assistant Xue really cherishes you."
"Stop envying me. Gu Ye still treats you like royalty." Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Chu Xinglan abruptly.
Chu Xinglan smiled without saying a word.
Ye Xiaoxiao stayed by Chu Xinglan's side, and the two chatted and laughed. They didn't feel that time was passing slowly at all; on the contrary, it passed quickly. When Gu Ye returned in the evening, Xue Bai also took Ye Xiaoxiao home.
"Gu Ye..." Chu Xinglan hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Gu Ye seemed to have guessed what she was thinking.
“I’ve had people investigate. Although your friend has lost her freedom, Jackson is still treating her very well, unlike how he treated her in the previous life.”
Chu Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Gu Ye say that. She looked at the man who always thought of her and always put her first.
“Gu Ye…”
She took the initiative to get close to Gu Ye.
"What's this?" Gu Ye's eyes held a hint of ambiguity.
Chu Xinglan was startled and quickly moved away from him: "I didn't, don't overthink it."
How could such a smart man keep thinking in that direction?
"Grandpa, why did you prepare such an expensive gift? Are you planning to give it away?" Mingyin came to Grandpa Ming's side.
"This is a wedding gift I had prepared for Gu Ye." Old Master Ming waved his hand to his subordinate, who immediately left with the gift.
If Xiao Ma were here, he would have arranged everything perfectly, so there would be no need for him to worry about it. Unfortunately, Xiao Ma is now...
Mingyin's expression changed slightly; the smile that had been on her face just moments before vanished.
Even though Ming Yin didn't say anything, Old Master Ming understood her thoughts, but there was nothing he could do about it now.
"Mingyin, will you come with me to see your Uncle Ma later?"
"How is Uncle Ma...?" Mingyin asked anxiously.
"It's still the old man. I wonder if he'll wake up." At this point, Old Master Ming couldn't help but sigh, wondering if he would be able to see Xiao Ma off in his final moments.
"Grandpa, you're not feeling well, so you should stay home. I'll go check on Uncle Ma for you."
Mingyin wanted to take this opportunity to kill Uncle Ma completely, so that she would have fewer worries.
Grandpa Ming looked at his granddaughter's sincere attitude and felt somewhat gratified. If Xiao Ma never woke up and passed away one day, Ming Yin probably wouldn't abandon him because of the years of care she had given him.
"Alright, Mingyin, then go and check on Xiao Ma. If anything happens to Xiao Ma, be sure to tell me," Grandpa Ming instructed Mingyin.
“Okay, Grandpa.” Mingyin smiled.
Mingyin arrived at Uncle Ma's ward, where a female caregiver was wiping his body.
Mingyin looked disgusted, even by the air in the ward, despite it being the best VIP room. She covered her nose with her hand and slowly walked in. Only when the female caregiver noticed her did she pretend to touch her nose and ask with a smile, "How is Uncle Ma?"
The female caregiver quickly said, "Miss Ming!"
"Is Uncle Ma still not awake?" Mingyin looked at Uncle Ma.
Uncle Ma was still on oxygen, his eyes closed.
If life is like this forever, I hope I never wake up again.
Mingyin thought to herself.
“Mr. Ma is in much better condition than before. I think I can feel his hands moving.”
While continuing to wipe Uncle Ma's body, the female caregiver happily answered Mingyin.
Upon hearing this, Mingyin stumbled. She steadied herself, looked at the female caregiver who hadn't noticed her reaction, and continued with a fake smile, "Let me do it. You go and do something else."
"Miss Ming?" The female caregiver looked at Ming Yin in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Miss Ming is not only beautiful inside and out. Although Mr. Ma has an extraordinary background, he is actually a servant of the Ming family. As the eldest daughter of the Ming family, Ming Yin actually wants to personally bathe Mr. Ma.
“I grew up without parents and was raised by Uncle Ma. He is like a father to me, so it is only right that I bathe him.”
Mingyin snatched the towel from the female caregiver.
The female caregiver was somewhat moved by what she said, but seeing that Mingyin had taken over her job, she could only stand aside and watch.
Mingyin pretended to wipe Uncle Ma's body, then looked up at the female caregiver beside her.
"Go ahead and do your work, I'll take care of things here."
Upon hearing this, the female caregiver went out to do other things.
"Miss Ming, I'll be going now. Please feel free to call me if you need anything."
“Okay.” Mingyin nodded.
As soon as the nurse left, Mingyin threw the towel in her hand onto the table. She looked at Uncle Ma, and thinking about what the nurse had just said, she felt terrified. If Uncle Ma woke up, everything would be over for her. Thinking of this, her murderous intent rose even stronger. She absolutely could not let Uncle Ma live.
Mingyin walked to the door, opened it, looked outside, and seeing no one, closed the door again and even locked it from the inside.
After doing all this, she walked towards the ward with a fierce expression, looked at the unconscious Uncle Ma, and then reached out to take away his oxygen mask.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Uncle Ma suddenly opened his eyes, his empty and lifeless eyes staring intently at Ming Yin.
"What...what do you want to do?"
"Uncle Ma, blame yourself for knowing too much. If you don't die, I won't be able to sleep peacefully."
Mingyin spoke maliciously, took away Uncle Ma's oxygen mask, and even covered his mouth and nose with her hand, fearing that he wouldn't die quickly enough.
Uncle Ma was extremely weak and could not possibly break free from Ming Yin, who was determined to kill him. He struggled incessantly, gripping the bed frame tightly with both hands.
Mingyin transformed into a demon, her expression ferocious and terrifying. As Uncle Ma's breathing became increasingly unstable, the smug look on her face became more and more obvious.
Just then, a knock on the door startled her.
"Miss Ming, are you inside?"
It's the same caregiver from before, she's back again.
Mingyin was a little flustered. She wasn't sure if Uncle Ma was still alive. She wanted to continue, but then she heard a noise outside. Someone was forcibly opening the door.
Fearing exposure, Mingyin didn't bother to confirm whether Uncle Ma was really dead. She quickly put the oxygen mask back on Uncle Ma and pretended to be wiping his body.
With a bang, the door was forced open.
"What's wrong?" Mingyin pretended to be startled.
"Miss Ming, so you're here. I thought you weren't here," the caregiver said curiously. "Didn't you hear me calling you?"
"I thought about how Uncle Ma took care of me since I was a child, but he turned out like this. I felt I had no way to repay him, and I was so sad that I didn't hear anything outside."
Mingyin held Uncle Ma's hand with one hand and touched her tearless eyes with the other, looking very sad.
The female caregiver was somewhat moved.
"With you thinking of him like this, Uncle Ma will surely be blessed with good fortune."
The female caregiver comforted the heartbroken Mingyin and helped her up.
