132: Chapter 132 How could we run into each other here?

After saying this, Huo Sixian still felt it wasn't enough.

He turned back to Xu Xueke and continued, "One last thing, don't appear in front of me again. I believe your father has already told you."

Upon hearing Huo Sixian's words, tears immediately welled up in Xu Xueke's eyes.

She couldn't believe these were the words Huo Sixian was saying to her.

At this moment, Xu Xueke felt nothing but insulted.

"Huo Sixian! What exactly have I done wrong?"

"I dressed up meticulously to see you, why are you saying such things to me?"

"Do you despise me this much now?"

Huo Sixian, who had been walking away very quickly, suddenly halted his steps upon hearing Xu Xueke's words.

Seeing this, Xu Xueke thought it was an opportunity Huo Sixian was giving her.

She immediately wiped her tears and hurried after him.

But she never expected Huo Sixian's next words to be even harsher: "I'm telling you for the last time, I don't like you, and I could never like you."

"There's no fate between us. The matter of our arranged marriage was annulled long ago. Don't come looking for me. This is my final verbal warning to you about this."

"If there's a next time, don't blame me for hitting a woman."

Huo Sixian was actually angry inside too, all because he hadn't handled the situation with Xu Xueke properly.

He had originally thought that as long as he ignored Xu Xueke, nothing would happen.

But he had underestimated a woman's jealousy, which led to the current situation between him and Ye Qingqing.

Therefore, Huo Sixian deeply reflected on his previous actions.

Especially regarding the matter of Xu Xueke, he needed to establish a clear sense of distance.

After saying all this, Huo Sixian even erected an electric barrier in front of Xu Xueke.

"Don't come any closer. This is the final warning."

Looking at the electric barrier before her, Xu Xueke dug her fingernails deep into her palms.

She couldn't understand why her sincere heart, laid bare before Huo Sixian, would meet such an end.

Returning home, Ye Qingqing had just reached her doorstep when she saw Su Miaomiao and Li Qingshan.

Only then did Ye Qingqing remember.

She had been staying at home these past few days and had almost forgotten about these two.

Seeing the anxious expressions on Su Miaomiao and Li Qingshan's faces, Ye Qingqing immediately knew something was wrong.

Upon seeing Ye Qingqing, Su Miaomiao and Li Qingshan practically ran over.

"Sister Qingqing..." Su Miaomiao's voice was choked with tears.

"What happened?"

Ye Qingqing asked with a frown.

Hearing this, Su Miaomiao and Li Qingshan immediately knelt before Ye Qingqing.

"Sister Qingqing..."

Su Miaomiao spoke while sobbing.

"Please, save someone. We really have no other way. If we could find another solution, we wouldn't trouble you like this."

"Sister Qingqing..."

Witnessing this scene, Ye Qingqing suddenly felt a headache. Kneeling without even explaining the situation?

Seriously, could they at least tell her what was going on first?

Ye Qingqing took a deep breath and helped Su Miaomiao and Li Qingshan up from the ground: "First, tell me what happened."

From Su Miaomiao and Li Qingshan's account,

Ye Qingqing learned that there was an old man where they lived who often looked after them, but he had fallen ill and had no money for medicine.

Although Su Miaomiao was studying medicine, she had no credits and couldn't buy medicine for the old man.

They had spent all their credits and truly had no other option, which is why they came begging before Ye Qingqing.

Hearing this, what else could Ye Qingqing say?

She directly took a car out from her space, opened the door, and got in: "What are you standing there for?"

"Take me to where you live."

Looking at Ye Qingqing, Su Miaomiao and Li Qingshan felt a surge of gratitude.

When they arrived at the place where Su Miaomiao and Li Qingshan lived, Ye Qingqing truly understood for the first time what life was like for most people in this base.

For a moment, Ye Qingqing felt as if she had returned to her wandering days in her previous life.

Su Miaomiao and Li Qingshan each had their own single room, which was considered much better than the Large Dormitory.

But the moment she stepped into the building, Ye Qingqing was hit by a pungent smell of urine.

Compounded by the high temperature, the odor mixed with sweat and fermented in the air.

It was enough to make one's head ache.

Ye Qingqing instinctively covered her nose.

Li Qingshan looked somewhat embarrassed seeing Ye Qingqing's reaction.

"Sorry, Sister Qingqing, this is just the environment here."

"We're almost there. It's a bit better inside the room."

Once inside the room, it was indeed a bit better, but only a bit.

Because the temperature inside wasn't low either. Although there was an Air Conditioner, with so many single rooms, the cold air distributed to each room couldn't bring the temperature down much.

The room wasn't big either, just enough for a bed, leaving only space to turn around.

Inside the room, an emaciated old man lay on the bed.

He looked as if he was on his last breath.

The moment Su Miaomiao entered, she couldn't hold back.

"Grandpa Zhao..." Su Miaomiao felt the old man's pulse. Finding he still had a breath, she sighed slightly in relief, then looked at Ye Qingqing with pleading eyes.

Ye Qingqing gestured for them to take the man out, then took a wheelchair out from her space.

Seeing this, Li Qingshan moved the old man from the bed onto the wheelchair and then wheeled him out.

The single room was indeed hot. In just that short while, beads of sweat had formed on Ye Qingqing's forehead, mingling with the foul smell around her.

She felt quite unwell.

It's hard to go from luxury to simplicity—Ye Qingqing truly understood that now.

Having lived the good life for too long, suddenly seeing such destitution was a bit jarring.

But just as Ye Qingqing was about to follow Li Qingshan out, she heard a familiar voice.

"Ye Qingqing!"

Hearing the voice, Ye Qingqing's figure suddenly stiffened.

She hadn't planned to deal with Ye Shanhai anytime soon, but she never expected to run into him here.

However, the person calling her wasn't Ye Shanhai, but her cheap younger brother, Ye Yuanzhou.

"Ye Qingqing! It really is you!"

"I thought you were dead!"

Ye Qingqing frowned, watching Ye Yuanzhou approach. Ye Yuanzhou was dressed in tattered clothes from head to toe.

His exposed arms and legs were covered in a grimy blackish-gray, looking filthy.

His hair was greasy and disheveled.

Seeing Ye Yuanzhou in this state, Ye Qingqing felt a wave of disgust.

She instinctively took a few steps back.

"Sister Qingqing..." Su Miaomiao and the others had also heard Ye Yuanzhou's voice.

But at this moment, Old Man Zhao couldn't wait any longer.

Li Qingshan and Su Miaomiao didn't dare to rush Ye Qingqing, so they could only stand there waiting.

A slight curve lifted the corner of Ye Qingqing's mouth: "You... live here?"

Ye Qingqing didn't say much, but her tone was extremely dismissive. The look she gave Ye Yuanzhou was as if she were looking at trash.

"Ye Qingqing, how dare you show your face here!"

Ye Yuan Boat retorted angrily.
