Mina looked up at me and asked, "Didn't you say before that he doesn't care about the Xiao Family matters? Why is he taking the initiative now?"
"Not caring doesn't mean he doesn't want to know. Don't ask so many questions; I don't know the specifics either. Right now, I'm just looking at the data. Can you help me see if this data is accurate?" I pointed to the open papers and asked her.
Mina nodded and said, "From what I've seen of the company I'm currently in charge of, it's fine; it's mostly accurate. But for other things, it's hard to say because some information might be fabricated for various purposes, which is difficult for outsiders to know."
I looked at the data in my hands and asked, "So what I have here is also hard for outsiders to know, right?"
Mina nodded and said, "Yes, something this detailed could indeed have been leaked from inside. By the way, has your family’s Xiao Minxing turned into a spy?"
I put away the documents and shot her a glance, saying, "Father has been counting on him to save the Xiao Family from crisis. How can we not let him know about these matters? I suspect it might have come from Father."
The matters concerning the Xiao Family are too complicated; both of us were just speculating without reaching any conclusions. I came here mainly to hear her opinion.
After asking enough questions, I was preparing to leave.
However, Mina grabbed my arm and asked very solemnly, "Have you visited that Little Fool since giving birth?"
"Little Fool? Which one?" I countered.
Mina scratched her head and said, "What was that light called? Didn't you say he had mental issues?"
I glared at her and said, "He just has a few mental issues; why do you have to call him a Little Fool? You..."
Mina quickly made a stopping gesture and defended herself, saying, "Alright, alright, he has mental issues. But have you gone to see him after coming out?"
I really hadn't. Ever since I gave birth, life has been incredibly busy. Even though there was only one non-verbal little Baby at home, it felt like dozens of people suddenly appeared. There were endless conversations and tasks to complete. Not only were the two nannies overwhelmed, but I was also busy helping Xiao Minxing with these matters, leaving me with even less time.
She looked at me sideways with a chilly gaze and waited until I finished speaking before snorting coldly and saying, "Just admit you can't remember him instead of making so many excuses."
I didn't want to deny it and honestly said, "I really don't want to get too close to him because his family is too annoying."
Mina stared at me and said, "He once threatened to commit suicide to get you a better hospital room. Honestly, when you used to talk about him, I had no good feelings towards him. But this time he truly cared for you. Now that you're fine, you can't even go meet him once?"
I didn't know how to respond to her words, and a sense of guilt began to rise within me.
Mina took a breath, her expression still cool, and then said, "Have you ever thought about what would have happened if his family had disagreed at that time? No matter what, I think he considers you his best friend."
Yes, in the past, I also thought I was soft-hearted; as long as Xiao Minxing showed any signs of being hurt, I couldn't bring myself to be harsh. But now that I think about it, that's not true at all. Not only was I hard-hearted, but I was also cold-hearted. I lacked warmth towards Ye Guang and Su Qian; I didn't reciprocate their friendship with equal affection.
Perhaps now even Mina has grown cold towards me?
Feeling extremely uncomfortable, I reflected on my actions since returning from Mina's place. Maybe it was because no one had reminded me before that I never paid attention to these things. I thought that what I was doing was good for them. But now, with Mina's almost distant attitude reminding me of what I took for granted, looking back made me feel utterly heartless.
Perhaps I really should go see Ye Guang.
He has been sick for so long; it's almost been a year now. His family has only put him in the hospital and probably hasn't given him any real treatment. He still remembers my phone number, so he must feel incredibly lonely.
I didn't plan to hide this from Xiao Minxing. As soon as he got home from work, I told him.
To my surprise, he didn't oppose it at all and said, "Let's go this weekend; I'll go with you."
I felt no joy as I had expected; instead, there was a sense of desolation. I wondered if I had changed over the years—why did everyone feel they should take action while I kept refusing?
Including Su Qian, although he can't be considered a close friend of Xiao Minxing now, he is no longer the enemy he once was. After that incident at his house, he said he would never see me again.
He must be thoroughly disappointed in me.
"What's wrong? You don't look too good," Xiao Minxing asked as he noticed me standing in the study room.
I cautiously looked at his expression and asked, "Do you think I'm cold-hearted and lacking in humanity?"
He shook his head and said, "No, I know you have your own way of dealing with things. I used to misunderstand you, but not anymore."
"But Ye Guang considers me his only friend, and yet I've never thought to visit him even once since he got sick..."
If this had come up before I had my child, I could have confidently said it was due to his family's influence because back then, I didn't know about his condition. I thought he had already recovered, and besides, his mother really didn't want me to get too close to him.
But now, what excuse do I have left?
Xiao Minxing gently touched my cheek and after a moment of silence said, "I know you are mostly considering me, worried that I might misunderstand something if I go."
I looked up at him and asked, "So will you?"
Xiao Minxing smiled and said, "You're not wrong. Ye Guang's dependence on you is not purely friendship. He actually understands more than he lets on; it's just that his family has limited him to that extent. So when it comes to feelings, he might be just like an adult."
"Does that mean it's right for me not to see him?" This sense of validation made me feel much better.
Xiao Minxing pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "I really don't want you to see him because I am also someone who understands the feelings of being obsessed with a person. You can't give him what he wants; fantasies will only hurt him."
I was almost driven crazy by him, and with no idea in my heart, I could only look at him with wide eyes.
Xiao Minxing sighed and said, "Forget it, let's go see him after all. He has helped us, and if we can cooperate with the Doctor to help improve his condition a bit, that would be great."
I didn't dare to think too much about it; I just hoped that after seeing Ye Guang, he would be better than before, which would also comfort me a little.
Early on the weekend, Xiao Minxing got ready and drove me to the best psychiatric hospital in Haicheng.
Seeing the sign at the Entrance, I couldn't help but think of him and asked, "Where did you get treated for your illness?"
Without thinking, he replied, "Out of town, not in Haicheng."
