"Is the Hospital there particularly good? Should we recommend that Ye Guang's family try it out?" I asked eagerly.
Xiao Minxing thought for a moment before saying, "Let's first check on his condition. This matter is closely related to his family; it's not up to us to decide."
The Hospital here has strict regulations. At the main entrance, there is a visitor registration where you have to fill in your information and specify which patient you are visiting.
They even check if we are relatives of the patient, so soon the security at the Entrance shook his head and said, "The patient's family has stated that only they can visit him. Others are not allowed. If you really want to go in, you'll need to contact his family."
Moreover, the Hospital refused to give us Ye Guang's family phone number.
This situation became a bit complicated. On our way back, Xiao Minxing said, "I'll find a way. Actually, I also want to meet his family."
Thinking of Mother Ye Guang, who seemed to look down on everyone in the world, made me uncomfortable. I didn’t want Xiao Minxing to face setbacks, so I advised him to consider other options.
He didn’t say much more, but that afternoon he told me he had arranged to meet Ye Guang's family and asked if I wanted to join him.
I quickly asked, "Who did you arrange to meet?"
Xiao Minxing replied briefly, "His parents."
Aside from disliking their way of handling things, I was also curious about the situation of the Ye Family. Of course, the main reason was still his illness, so I decided to go with Xiao Minxing.
The place was a relatively quiet club in Haicheng, lavishly decorated, and you needed a VIP card to enter. Therefore, everyone inside was either wealthy or influential.
Ye Guang's parents arrived a bit later than us, which gave me some time to familiarize myself with the environment here.
His father is a man in his fifties, well-maintained and dressed appropriately.
His mother's appearance is acceptable, but her eyes are too low on her face, and she tilts her head too high when looking at people, so I still couldn't develop any good feelings towards her.
When I met Xiao Minxing, he was polite and greeted us, and then we all took our seats.
Since I had nothing to say to Ye Guang's mother, the two of us sat there awkwardly in silence.
Ye Guang's father took the initiative to praise Xiao Minxing as a talented young man from Haicheng.
Xiao Minxing responded without hesitation, simply smiling and saying something about good policies in a formal manner.
I was anxious listening to them and glanced at Xiao Minxing countless times, but he seemed completely unhurried, as if he genuinely had countless questions to ask Ye Daguang.
In the end, I couldn't help but pinch him under the table before he finally brought up Ye Guang.
I don't know if Xiao Minxing hadn't mentioned it to them beforehand or if Ye Guang really embarrassed his parents.
As soon as that woman heard us mention her son, her expression turned unfriendly, and she shot me a fierce glare. However, his father furrowed his brow and said, "I know we've been a bit neglectful towards him, but when we kept him at home before, there was no improvement; it only got worse. To prevent his condition from deteriorating further, we had no choice but to send him to the Hospital. The facilities and staff there are much better than what we could provide ourselves."
Xiao Minxing simply replied, "Perhaps it's not that serious; he just lacks friends."
Ye Guang immediately said in a harsh voice, "Who would genuinely want to be friends with someone like him? It's not like they have pure intentions."
I was so furious that I almost stood up to argue with her, but Xiao Minxing held me back.
Ye Guang's Father also shot a glance at that woman, finally making her shut her mouth and not say anything more disgusting.
However, he didn't have a good explanation either. He merely stated that due to his family's situation and Ye Guang's illness, he had no contact with people and naturally couldn't make friends. He used to go to the Studio and the Library, and his family indulged him, but for some reason, he stopped going and his condition worsened.
This remark earned me a fierce glare from Mrs. Ye Guang.
I couldn't tell if this couple communicated well normally; they appeared to treat each other with respect on the surface, but when it came to Ye Guang, their understanding of the situation seemed different, as if there was something separating them.
After thinking it over, I disregarded Xiao Minxing's warning and looked at Ye Guang's Father to ask, "So would you be willing to be his friends?"
"We?" The two of them spoke in unison this time and turned to look at me together.
Mrs. Ye Guang's voice was somewhat sharp: "We are his parents; isn't that relationship closer than friendship?"
"That should be the case, but how long has it been since you've heard him speak?" I asked her.
She was furious, her powdered face turning red as she glared at me unkindly and said, "It seems Miss Qiu really cares about my son."
I felt like standing up and giving her a good slap, then asking Ye Guang if she was really his biological mother. What kind of mother treats her son like this?
Xiao Minxing also realized that things had returned to a state that could not go back to how they were when we first arrived, so he took the initiative to speak: "To be honest, both of you, Ye Guang did have a friend when he was at the Studio, and that was my wife Qiu Yuhan. However, she later could not go due to her pregnancy, so they lost contact. But we know he is a particularly loyal person, and because we had our baby in the Hospital during the New Year, you arranged for a private room for us..."
"It turns out it was you?" Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Guang's Father interrupted with a question.
Xiao Minxing nodded and said, "Yes, it was us. At that time, my wife and I were in the delivery room, so we didn't know what was happening outside until our friend told us when we came out that it was thanks to your son."
Ye Guang's Father turned to look at his mother.
His mother had an expression of anger, her face tense as if she might bite down hard.
Seeing that they were both silent, Xiao Minxing continued: "To thank him and as friends, we wanted to visit him. However, the Hospital said only family members could visit. That's why I invited both of you today. Of course, I was afraid that using this reason at first would upset you, so I borrowed another excuse to invite you out. I hope you can understand."
Ye Dad looked at him but still didn't speak. However, he must have thought from the beginning that Xiao Minxing couldn't be here just for consultation.
After all, they were not from the same world—one in politics and the other in business—there wasn't even a point of contact between them. Even I doubted what method Xiao Minxing used to get these two people to meet.
However, this time our efforts paid off; Ye Dad eventually agreed for us to see Ye Guang, and it was scheduled for the next day. He would even go with us.
Xiao Minxing immediately stood up and said: "That's great! I think he would really like to see you both."
Ye Guang's mother did not look well; she occasionally shot me a fierce glance. I couldn't tell if she didn't want to see her son or if she still suspected our intentions were not good.
