I was almost stunned. The two of them hadn't seen each other since the divorce, and now, calculating the time, although it had only been a little over a month, it felt like they had gone through an entire lifetime.
Thinking about him was one thing, but seeing him in person was another. It felt as if we had been separated for an eternity and were now reunited, stirring up a mix of emotions within me.
Xiao Minxing was also looking at me, his brow slightly furrowed as he asked, "Didn't you have an appointment with someone? Why aren't you going?"
In a panic, I climbed into the car and suddenly remembered that I had intended to run away. I hurriedly told him, "I'm not going to meet her anymore. Let's go."
He kept his eyes on the road, having already parked the car steadily in front of a small shop. He turned to look at me and asked, "Why? Do you think leaving will solve the problem?"
Of course it wouldn't, but I didn't want to take the risk, especially not let Xiao Minxing take that risk.
In desperation, I could only say, "This is my issue. If it can't be resolved this time, there will be another chance. I'm not feeling well today; I don't want to see them."
Xiao Minxing looked at me but didn't say anything else. He drove away and took me directly to the hospital.
When I came back to my senses, I remembered to ask him, "How did you end up here?"
His face showed no expression as he calmly replied, "Mina called."
I didn't know why Mina would call Xiao Minxing, but one thing I remembered was that when we divorced, he said he never wanted to see me again.
I had no doubt about the anger and determination behind Xiao Minxing's words at that time, but why did he come because of a call from Mina?
This wasn't like his usual style and didn't match the person I knew.
Xiao Minxing didn't say much. After dropping me off at the hospital, he mentioned that he had things to attend to at his company and left.
I stood at the entrance watching his car gradually disappear from view until it finally blended into the sea of cars. Once it was out of sight, I wiped my eyes and started calling Mina.
She quickly answered and asked, "Anan, how are you? Nothing happened, right?"
"No, I didn't go see her; I left."
Mina paused for a moment before responding in a strange tone, "So you didn't run into anyone else?"
I adjusted my tone and calmly asked her, "Are you talking about Xiao Minxing? When I saw him, he said you called him over. Mina, why did you call him?"
Mina paused for a while before stammering, "Isn't his company closer to that place? And I was really busy at the time, so I just mentioned it to him without thinking of actually sending him there."
Before I could respond, she hurriedly asked, "What exactly happened? Why didn't you go meet that old woman?"
"She's not old; she looks to be around forty and is dressed quite appropriately. It’s clear she’s used to a life of comfort," I replied.
Mina countered, "So you did see her, right? How come you said you didn’t meet her earlier?"
I could only report what had happened previously. After listening, Mina quickly said, "Not meeting her is the right choice. I can tell this woman has bad intentions by inviting you to such a place and bringing someone along. Who knows what she plans to do? But then again, you didn’t do anything to her son either. Why is she treating you like this?"
I felt quite helpless; I didn’t know what expression to wear except looking up at the sky.
There are too many different types of people in this world, and some we simply cannot understand. Ye Guang isn’t really foolish; although he lacks some mental acuity, his thinking is more delicate than that of normal people. If he had a warm family and enough love from his parents, he shouldn’t be like this.
On the surface, it seems he has a car when he goes out and is followed by a bodyguard, almost treated like a young master. However, no one talks to him; he lives in his own world. Just one glance at that woman made me realize she and Ye Guang definitely cannot communicate normally.
But thinking about this now is pointless. Just after hanging up with Mina, my mobile phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number, but the person speaking wasn’t entirely unknown.
It was Ye Guang's mother.
She was clearly very angry and raised her voice to question me, "Miss Qiu, what time is it now?"
"12:40," I replied.
I could hear her breathing heavily with anger over the phone before she asked again, "What time did we agree on?"
I wasn't angry or particularly afraid of her; after all, we weren't face-to-face now. The situation had already escalated; being scared would only give her more leverage. So I kept my tone calm and answered her questions.
At that moment, I replied, "12:10."
Ye Guang's mother could hardly contain herself and aggressively asked, "Do you realize you're late? You should have known you're an uncultured person."
After she finished speaking, I casually replied, "I know, and I'm not planning to go anymore because I'm at the hospital right now due to sudden discomfort and came for an examination. As for being cultured, it's not just about dressing well or having a husband in a position of power; wouldn’t you agree, Mrs. Ye?"
Without waiting for her response, I finished speaking and hung up the phone, and I had no intention of answering her calls in the future.
I knew she would come after me, but even so, I didn't want to talk to her anymore.
I took a taxi home, and it wasn't until I arrived at the Community Entrance that I remembered I hadn't eaten lunch. I had received that woman's call before cooking, and I was so nervous at the time that I didn't even notice my hunger. Now, being alone, I realized my stomach was empty.
Thinking about how I still had to busy myself for half the day after getting home, I walked towards a restaurant after getting out of the car.
As soon as I arrived at the restaurant Entrance, I saw someone coming out from inside.
We met on the steps and then brushed past each other.
His height and all-black attire instantly raised my alertness. I hurriedly turned around but only saw him quickly slip into a car parked by the roadside, leaving without any hesitation.
At that moment, I didn't pay much attention and didn't know if this person was the same one I had seen at Mina's company. However, it was really rare to see someone dressed in black during the day, and his height was particularly noticeable.
But why was he here? Even if he had some connection to Mina, shouldn't he be near her company? How did he find me here?
I remembered Xiao Minxing once said that there was a group that would not reveal their true identities. If someone were to see their face, that person would certainly not know their identity either. In other words, no one would truly understand the existence of these people.
I hadn't asked him what these people were actually doing, but having encountered individuals who looked just like those in the photos he found for me twice in Haicheng made me feel quite uneasy.
