Chapter 603: Chapter 603 Who Helped?
Fu Rongyin paused briefly, carelessly tucking the cigarette pack away, "I’ll be out for a moment, I’ll be right back."
Having said that, he strode off.
Chi Yue watched him enter the fire escape before she redirected her gaze, the surprise in her eyes shifting into confusion.
She hadn’t smoked for a long time, so why had she suddenly started again?
Moreover, his movements were practiced; unless he smoked frequently, he couldn’t have pulled it off.
She wanted to ask, but then changed her mind—what right did she have to question him?
Without much hesitation, Fu Rongyin returned, the faint scent of tobacco clinging to him, prompting Chi Yue to unconsciously shift to the side.
Fu Rongyin tensed due to her movement, but it was just a slight tensing, and he settled down on the bench calmly, his eyes lowered as if lost in thought.
Waiting was a grueling process, but fortunately, Bai Dongyang’s surgery was a success.
After sending Bai Dongyang back to his room, Chi Yue was called into the doctor’s office.
When she learned that Bai Dongyang could undergo surgery, she couldn’t regain her composure.
"You mean, he’s eligible for a transplant?"
"Yes, we have a suitable liver available, and we can arrange the surgery as soon as he wakes up."
Chi Yue suddenly recalled what Fu Xingchuan had said to her, as well as the fact that he had hurried off right after getting out of the car—could it be him?
Chi Yue composed herself and said, "Then please, arrange the surgery as soon as possible."
Standing at the door of the hospital room, Chi Yue overheard Bai Bixuan talking to Fu Rongyin.
"Don’t feel burdened, call me if you need anything."
Bai Bixuan’s voice was clearly choked with sobs, "I really don’t know how to thank you, if it weren’t for you, my dad..."
"It’s nothing, he’s also my uncle."
Chi Yue didn’t continue to eavesdrop and pushed the door open instead.
Their conversation was interrupted, and before Chi Yue could speak, Fu Rongyin said, "I should get going."
As soon as Fu Rongyin had left, Chi Yue told Bai Bixuan, "Uncle found a suitable liver, he can have the surgery now."
Bai Bixuan nodded vigorously, "Yes, he finally can have the surgery."
Chi Yue was puzzled by how she knew, but then she thought maybe the doctor had told her, so she didn’t ask.
It seemed that Bai Bixuan had been thanking Fu Rongyin for staying by the operating room door for her.
Half a month later, Bai Dongyang was discharged from the hospital.
He had recovered well after the surgery; the doctors said he just needed to recuperate at home.
Bai Bixuan and Situ En had hired someone to take care of Bai Dongyang, and since Chi Yue couldn’t stay there indefinitely, she planned to leave in three days.
That day, Bai Dongyang called Chi Jianshan to the study, and after a long conversation, they both emerged with smiles, a rare sight on their faces.
Chi Yue knew that they had reconciled.
The evening before her departure, Bai Dongyang suggested at the dinner table that they find the person who had helped them to offer their heartfelt thanks.
Chi Yue nodded, "Uncle, don’t worry, when I get back to Nancheng I’ll thank him properly."
Bai Dongyang exclaimed in surprise, "You know who it was that helped?"
"Yes, I know."
At this point, Bai Bixuan spoke up, "If you want to thank him, why wait until you’re back in Nancheng?"
Chi Yue replied, "He has returned to Nancheng. It’s fine, I’m going back there tomorrow, too."
Bai Bixuan looked at Chi Yue with a strange expression, "That’s not right. Situ En is at a banquet with him tonight; they should still be there... I’ll give him a call to check."
Chi Yue was startled, "He’s in Hai City? It doesn’t matter, he might have been here on a business trip. We can talk when he gets back."
Meanwhile, Bai Bixuan had already got through to Situ En on the phone, "Husband, has Fu Rongyin left yet?"
"No, he’s still with me. Is there something you need?"
"It’s nothing. Dad mentioned finding time to thank him properly. Ask him when he’s available."
"Okay, I’ll let you know when I get back."
After hanging up, Bai Bixuan said, "He’s still here."
Chi Yue was completely stunned, "What does Fu Rongyin have to do with..."
