"Hmph." Li Yugeng snorted. "Cao Xiaolian, you better pray that nothing happened to Chen Lifen."

Saying that, he hung up.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Cao Xiaolian was stunned. She could not believe that something like this had happened.

Until the girl next to her called her, "Comrade, Comrade."

"Huh?" Cao Xiaolian was suddenly enlightened. She looked at herself with worry. "Are you alright?"

"Ah, nothing, nothing." Only then did she realize that she had been holding the phone in her arms all this time. She quickly put it down, forced a smile, and quickly ran out.

Cao Xiaolian felt mixed emotions.

On one hand, she didn't really believe Li Yugeng's words. Since the factory had just started, everyone was full of energy, especially Chen Lifen, who treated the factory as her own home. Every day, he would be the first one to go, then the last one to leave. Every day, he would be the first one to go, then the last one to leave.

She had also secretly told Shang Yin that she found Chen Lifen the right person to look for her. Now that she was here, she didn't have to worry too much.

Shang Yin agreed with Chen Lifen's ability. He despised her for being a petty person, but she could understand why. After all, she was from a poor family, and she couldn't wait to break a cent into two halves.

But if she didn't believe it, she wouldn't be able to lie.

Forget it, now I can only wait.

After waiting for a while, he finally got some good news.

His comrade-in-arms from Little He's class had also just changed to a factory in Jiangsu province, a two-hour drive away from Shanghai. Little He volunteered to take Cao Xiaolan to see the fabric.

Forget it. If something really happened, she wouldn't be able to stop it, but she would have to continue signing the contract. She had to settle the raw materials now, and as for other things, she would think about it when she got back.

Cao Xiaolian decided that if she had settled the problem in Jiangsu, she would go back from there. When she said goodbye to He Qing, He Qing was still sad. She left a phone call from Cao Xiaolian to her, saying that they had to keep in touch.

She rather liked this self-reliant little girl.

After bidding farewell to He Qing, Cao Xiaolian and Little He set off for Jiangsu Province.

Little He was driving. It was unknown where he had borrowed a lousy jeep from. Hearing He Qing say that Little He had specifically asked for a leave of absence for this trip, Cao Xiaoliu felt a little embarrassed. "Your driving skills are really good."

When Little He heard his praise, he felt as if his tail was sticking up in the sky. He said happily, "Of course, I can't say for sure. Even our captain can't compare to me when it comes to driving cars."

Seeing him so proud, Cao Xiaolan smiled. After that, the two of them stopped talking.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Little He couldn't help but feel an itch in his heart. He kept sneaking glances at her and noticed that Cao Xiaolan was pursing her lips with a serious face and frowning. No one knew what she was thinking about.

By the way, from what my sister-in-law said, she seemed to be worried about the fabric.

Little He thought for a moment and gathered up his courage. "Xiao Lian, you don't need to worry. The Jiangsu province produces cloth, and we are not satisfied with it when we go to his house. We can even go to another house."

Cao Xiaolian realized that Little He was worried about her, so she smiled and nodded, "Alright, I got it. Don't worry."

She wasn't worrying about this. She didn't know what was going on at home.

Li Yugeng probably went back to the capital. Without anyone to help him, he would have to wait for his return to settle the matter.

She didn't expect it to be so hard to start a business. Cao Xiaoling closed her eyes, feeling a little annoyed.

Perhaps it was because the heavens knew that there were a lot of troubles at home, but the things that happened next went smoothly.

Little He's comrade-in-arms had a lot of materials. Some of them were of the style from last year. They were simple, but very sturdy. However, they didn't sell well, so they had been hoarding them. This happened to be what Cao Xiaolian needed for her to use as the inner layer of her down jacket. She signed the contract and told them to send it to the factory now.

Next to his house was a production locksmith. When he went to take a look, he found that they were all pretty good. It just so happened that there was a dragon there, and all of them were taken care of.

After all of this was done, Cao Xiaolian was anxious to go home.

"Are you going back now?" Little He was a little disappointed. "The scenery here in Jiangsu is not bad. I-I've applied for five days leave."

When he went to apply for a leave of absence, he said that he was going to cultivate his relationship so that his future wife wouldn't run away. Unexpectedly, she was ready to leave.

Seeing the disappointment in Little He's eyes, Cao Xiaoling sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, Little He, but my family has matters to attend to. I really need to go back."

She said she was sorry, but she couldn't respond to this feeling.

Fortunately, Little He had a good personality. He thought that since a girl had been away for so many days, it was natural to be homesick. "Alright, I'll help you buy a ticket. After you go home, remember to call here and tell me if you're safe."

Cao Xiaolian knew she owed him a lot, so she was touched. "Well, welcome to our hometown as a guest," she said.

Upon hearing these words, Little He swept away the gloom in his heart as his eyes flashed like crescent moons, "I will!"

As the train headed home, Cao Xiaolan was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.

I wonder how it's going over there?

The car arrived at 9 pm the next day. Cao Xiaolan was stunned as soon as she saw the person waiting outside the train station. Who else could it be but Li YuGeng?

How could that be? Didn't he go back to the capital?

Cao Xiaolian looked at Li Yugeng in a daze. Under the dim light, there were people busily standing there. He looked like an unparalleled and independent white lotus flower.

Suddenly, another world came.

Li Yugeng also saw Cao Xiaolan.

She had lost weight.

His face, which was originally like an apple's, had become very thin after running for so many days. His eyes had a hint of green in them, and he looked very tired.

Her gaze swept across the room and landed on him.

They looked at each other, and Li Ygeng felt his face burning. He cursed in his heart that he had no future. What was there to blush about, being just a little girl with yellow hair?

However, he unconsciously looked away.

Cao Xiaoling didn't notice this. She was just thinking that Li Yugeng hadn't left. If so, she should have found out about Chen Lifen by now.

Taking big steps, she came to Li Yugeng's side and asked anxiously, "How is it inside the factory?"

The small flame in Li Yugeng's heart was extinguished because of this sentence.

He didn't expect to directly ask about the factory without even asking himself.

Initially, he wanted to mock her, but seeing Cao Xiaolian's tired face, he couldn't help but say, "Hmm, it's a little difficult. I came here to pick you up just to tell you this."

"Let's go." He naturally took the luggage from her hands and said, "Let me tell you about it after we get on the car."

As the car sped on, the neon lights on the roadside went back. Cao Xiaolian found it hard to understand what Li Yugeng had said. She frowned, "So there's already someone selling this down on the street?"

"A few." Seeing her frown, Li YuGeng resisted the urge to wipe her down and said lightly: "This happened within a few days, Chen Lifen got beaten up by him when she went to rob him, I heard he even had a few broken ribs, he's in the hospital right now."

"This beast!"

She didn't expect Old Tao to be so honest with his words. Cao Xiaoling clenched her fists angrily and asked, "How is Sister Chen now? Is she still in the hospital?"

"I just finished the operation and haven't taken down the thread yet."

Li Yugeng did not tell Cao Xiaoling that Chen Lifen had been beaten up seriously. She had a slight concussion and had just woken up yesterday. However, she was still a bit tired. It was unknown whether it was the side effects of surgery or the side effects of being beaten.

If it was a surgical anesthetic, it would be easy to deal with in a few days. But if he was beaten up and left, it would be troublesome.

"This kind of person is truly hateful." Cao Xiaoling raised her face. "I want to go to the hospital to see Sister Chen."

"Sure!"

Li YuGeng did not advise Cao Xiaoling. He knew that if he did not let her see Chen Lifen tonight, she would not be able to rest at ease for the whole night.

The hospital was at the south side of the city, not far away. The car quickly drove in, parked the car, and the two of them got off together.

"Thank you so much for today." Cao Xiao Lian looked apologetically at Li Yu Geng. The two of them were neither related nor friends, so she should have avoided the suspicion after the incident with Ji Qing Yun. However, there was no one by her side.

"Oh right, didn't you want to call me two days ago to return to the capital? "Why haven't you left yet?"

Cao Xiaolian did not dare to put money on her face. She thought that Li Yugeng had delayed his trip because he was here to help her. She reckoned that he had something on his mind, so she did not leave and helped him with this as well.

Li YuGeng did not expect her to ask such a question. He could not say that he had purposely delayed it because of her. The smile was gone from his face. He snorted lightly but didn't say anything.

Cao Xiaolian felt that this man was becoming more and more eccentric. There was something wrong with his head if he was too much of a reader.

However, she had helped him, so he still had to be polite. "Thank you, I'll go to the hospital myself. You can go back now."

After saying that, he walked forward, but after taking a few steps, he realized that Li YuGeng was still following him.

To be honest, she didn't really want to have a relationship with Li Yugeng. After all, they were from different worlds, and it was destined that they wouldn't have any interactions in the future.

Plus, she didn't like this person for some reason.

"I'll go by myself." Cao Xiaolian revealed a smile, "It's too late now. We will go together, but the nurse will definitely not let us in." "You're tired too, go back and rest early."

Speak up, carry a bag, thump thump thump up the stairs, as if there are wolves chasing behind.

Towards this kind of action, Li Yugeng's eyes dimmed. He stared at her for a long time without saying anything.

As soon as Cao Xiaolan entered the Inpatient Department, she followed Li YuGeng's instructions and entered the corridor. Before she could say anything, she saw a nurse holding a tray. She frowned and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in the hospital so late at night?"

Cao Xiaolian quickly said with a smile, "I'm the sister of Chen Lifen, bed number eight. I'm here to see her."

"Get out, get out." Although the young nurse looked young, her appearance was still quite frightening. "Don't you know about the hospital's regulations? It's already so late, what's there to look at? The patient needs to rest as well. "

"Ah, nurse, nurse." Cao Xiaoling was getting anxious and quickly said, "I just came back from somewhere else. I promise not to make any noise. Let me see my sister."

"The hospital has its rules, it's not like your family's backyard, you can enter whenever you want."

Cao Xiaolian was at a loss as to what to do when she saw that the nurse was so stubborn.

At this moment, a deep voice came from behind him, "She just came back from abroad. If you can't see her today, she probably won't even be able to sleep well. I'll have to trouble you to accommodate her a little."
