Chapter 131

In the midst of laughter and joy, they were so close yet so far, just a few steps away from touching. But there was still a distance between them because no one dared to take that step.

It wasn’t until spring that Huo Youcheng truly stood up.

The process of standing up was extremely difficult. The ward was neither cold nor hot due to the constant temperature system, but he struggled for half an hour just to make that small movement. By the time he finally stood up, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his face was covered in sweat.

But he had finally stood up. This was the first successful step on his road to recovery.

The attending doctor, nurses, relatives from the Huo family, and Huo Youcheng’s friends all came. Everyone held their breath and didn’t dare to move until he stood up. Then, everyone excitedly applauded, and thunderous applause filled the ward.

Cheng Yanzhou even shed tears again, but his crying was less intense than Madam Huo’s. “Second Young Master did it!”

Although the doctors had been saying that the chances of him ever walking again were slim, having seen his condition when he was injured, no one dared to be completely certain that he could still walk like a normal person until he actually stood up now. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief only after he succeeded.

And from standing up to taking the first step, Huo Youcheng also worked hard for a week before succeeding.

For exercise, his clothes were wet every day, and the pain made his face pale, with the veins on his neck bulging. But he persisted. His reason was, “I can’t let Zhi Zhi take care of a cripple for the rest of his life, can I?”

His friends all marveled at the greatness of love, casting envious glances at Ye Zhi. Qing Qing even said to Ye Zhi directly, “I envy you so much!”

The two of them were not in the ward but outside, taking a walk.

Spring arrived, and everything revived, and the world unconsciously turned green. Ye Zhi hadn’t paid attention to the scenery outside for a long time, but now he noticed that the flowers in the flower beds were all blooming. He smiled lightly at his friend’s words and said, “You’ll find the best outcome too.”

The smile faded from Qing Qing’s face, and a hint of sorrow appeared. “My husband has started meeting blind dates.”

Ye Zhi was taken aback.

“He didn’t tell me, but I know. One time when he was on the phone with his mom, I overheard it.” Qing Qing’s mood was very low. “The other party is a woman with a good family background. Her parents are diplomats, and she herself is a talented graduate of a prestigious school. She can dance and has won a silver medal in a dance competition… Such a good person is more suitable to be his partner, right?”

Ye Zhi was influenced by him, and his mood also became low, but he wasn’t good at comforting people. So, besides patting his shoulder, he didn’t know what else to say.

“No need to comfort me.” Qing Qing forced a smile. “I knew this day would come a long time ago. Fortunately, without emotions, I still have money. I have enough money to bring my parents and sister to live in the city.” Her tone quickly became cheerful again. “When the time comes, I won’t be soft-hearted. I will definitely! Find a way to get my husband to give me more money! After all, I’ve been his toy for so long, and he’s done such outrageous things to me.”

Qing Qing also advised him, “While Second Young Master is treating you well now, you should also make some demands on him. Like buying a bunch of branded clothes and bags, getting memberships to high-end beauty salons, and asking for cars and houses, all in your name, and company shares. The Huo family is so wealthy. Even if they give you five percent of the shares, you won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.”

Ye Zhi was somewhat stunned. “How could I ask him for these things?”

“Why not? Let me tell you secretly, Huo Youcheng’s former lover received a lot of benefits from him. As a legal partner, why can’t you ask for more?” Qing Qing stared at him. “Anyway, money is the most solid thing. As long as you have money, everything else, like emotions and love, can all go to hell!”

Ye Zhi felt that the theory he was now presenting was somewhat different from his previous character. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “What TV series have you been watching recently?”

Qing Qing suddenly became excited. “The Counterattack of the Ordinary Girl! Let me tell you, this series is super good! The female lead was bullied in the early stage, then finally couldn’t bear it and started fighting back, turning black, and then discovered that the world’s richest man is her biological father. Then, through her father’s money and power, she crushed all the people who had bullied her before underfoot, and in the end, the first male lead, the second male lead, and the third male lead all came to kneel and lick her. It’s so satisfying!” He even clenched his fists. “I want to be that kind of person too!”

Ye Zhi chuckled, but he had to admit that chatting with such a friend had made his gloomy mood much better.

But his friend soon returned to his original form.

After seeing a small flower swaying in the wind, Qing Qing squatted down, her eyes slightly red. “I’m a thousand times richer than when I first came to the central city, but why do I still feel so uncomfortable inside?”

Ye Zhi comforted her in a low voice, “Qing Qing, you will definitely meet someone better in the future.”
