Su Yuxin turned to look and saw it was Wang Dongdong.
Wang Dongdong was her ardent suitor, who had relentlessly pursued her since high school.
However, this fellow had no money and was just messing around in society, so Su Yuxin had never looked highly upon him.
But now, Su Yuxin's eyes lit up.
If she couldn't get the owner of Villa No. 1, why not find someone to impersonate them?
Although Wang Dongdong wasn't ideal, he was obedient to her and would never refuse.
As long as she could get through today, she could worry about the rest later.
"Wang Dongdong, you like me a lot and are willing to do anything for me, right?"
"Of course." Wang Dongdong thumped his chest and said, "Yuxin, for you, I would never flinch even if I had to go through fire and water."
His heart was overjoyed. He had pursued Su Yuxin for many years, and today was finally an opportunity?
"You don't need to go through fire and water; you just need to help me with one thing."
"No problem." Wang Dongdong agreed without hesitation, "Leave it all to me!"
...
Hangjiang City First Hospital.
"Yingxue, I think Auntie should stay in the hospital for a few more days for further observation!"
Chen Fan rushed to the hospital after receiving a call from Su Yingxue saying she was being discharged.
By the time he arrived, Su Yingxue had already completed the discharge procedures.
Su Yingxue was eager to leave the hospital, naturally not wanting to waste money or trouble him further.
"Chen Fan, thank you. But Professor Peng said that my mother doesn't need medication anymore, so there's no need to stay in the hospital. It's better to be discharged sooner," Su Yingxue said.
Looking at Su Yingxue's resolute expression, Chen Fan knew he couldn't persuade her.
"Then where will you stay after you're discharged?"
Su Yingxue gave a bitter smile, "We'll have to find another place."
Their mother and daughter's belongings had all been thrown out by the landlady, Li Yuqin, leaving them with no choice but to find a new place to live.
"Come stay at my place!" Chen Fan blurted out almost involuntarily.
Su Yingxue was stunned for a moment and immediately shook her head, "No, I've already troubled you too much. I can't possibly cause you more trouble."
"It's no trouble at all."
Chen Fan didn't want to see Su Yingxue suffer any further, and said in a deep voice, "My place is spacious and has several empty rooms. Besides, it's not easy to find a suitable place right now. I'm not at ease with Auntie staying somewhere too shabby given her current condition!"
Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment but still shook her head.
"How about this, you can rent it from me."
Chen Fan's tone was unquestionable. "If you feel bad about it, you can help with some chores. No more arguing!"
Su Yingxue still wanted to refuse.
But Chen Fan didn't give her another chance. He walked up to Li Xiuying and said, "Auntie, we're being discharged. Let's go to my place, shall we?"
"Okay!" Li Xiuying looked at Chen Fan and smiled, "Xiao Fan, you have to treat Yingxue well."
Chen Fan's mind flashed back to the image of that little girl from years ago, and his heart couldn't help but feel a sweet sensation. He said softly, "Don't worry, Auntie, this is what I owe Yingxue!"
"Mom, no, we can't trouble Big Brother Chen too much," Su Yingxue said hastily.
Li Xiuying chuckled, "Aren't you already troubling him quite a bit?"
Su Yingxue was rendered speechless.
If it weren't for Chen Fan, she wouldn't know what her current situation would be.
Li Xiuying's timely assist made Chen Fan happy.
When she wasn't having episodes, Li Xiuying was no different from a normal person, even more sensible than most, only unable to tolerate any stimulation.
"Auntie is right. Then let's be discharged. Come, I'll help you."
As the three of them were about to leave the ward, the door was pushed open.
Wang Tingting burst in. Upon seeing Chen Fan, her face immediately darkened, and she snorted, "Coward, you still have the nerve to show your face?"
Wang Tingting was still resentful about Chen Fan 'running away' at the coffee shop.
She despised people like Chen Fan, who were timid and useless, the most.
Chen Fan glanced at Wang Tingting and ignored her.
"Tingting, how can you speak to Big Brother Chen like that?" Su Yingxue frowned. "Big Brother Chen isn't a coward. You must have misunderstood him."
At her most desperate moment, Chen Fan had descended like a divine soldier to rescue Su Yingxue. In her heart, Chen Fan had nothing to do with the word 'coward'.
"Yingxue, you don't know this guy... Sigh, forget it. You wouldn't believe me even if I told you. You've been brainwashed by him. Let's get discharged first."
Wang Tingting said with a tone of disappointment, linking arms with Su Yingxue.
She was thinking that she absolutely could not let Su Yingxue be pursued by a useless man like Chen Fan. No matter what, she had to drive this fellow away from Su Yingxue's side.
The two women whispered a few words and walked ahead.
They arrived next to the Mercedes Chen Fan had driven, opened the car doors, and invited Li Xiuying to get in.
"Oh ho, this car? Coward, you're quite rich, aren't you?" Wang Tingting circled the car and said with a tut.
Su Yingxue was also taken aback. She had been in a hurry yesterday and hadn't paid attention to what kind of car Chen Fan was driving. Now, she felt that Chen Fan seemed quite wealthy.
Chen Fan glanced at Su Yingxue, who was frowning slightly, and fearing she might have other thoughts, he immediately said, "It's a friend's car. I borrowed it for a few days."
"I knew it. How could someone like you afford such a nice car?"
Wang Tingting was relieved and casually got into the passenger seat, saying, "Yingxue, don't look too much. This car is only a few hundred thousand. When I have money later, I'll give you one as dowry!"
A few hundred thousand?
Chen Fan made no reaction.
This car belonged to Jiang Tiansheng. For someone of his status, a few hundred thousand couldn't even show off his wealth.
However, Chen Fan obviously wouldn't explain.
Soon, the car drove into Xiangshan Tanfu and stopped outside Villa No. 1.
"Big Brother Chen, you... you live here?"
Su Yingxue asked with an unnatural expression.
As they entered the villa area, Su Yingxue was already bewildered. Now, looking at the exceedingly luxurious Villa No. 1, Su Yingxue's awkwardness and reserve reached its peak.
Even without understanding the value of this villa, she knew that the person who could afford to live in it was by no means ordinary.
"This..."
Chen Fan turned back and saw a sense of distance on Su Yingxue's face.
His heart sank, and he thought, "Not good."
He had been careless. Not everyone liked mansions. Restraint and awkwardness would only make it uncomfortable for Su Yingxue and the others to live here.
If he had known, he should have prepared another place.
Chen Fan quickly tried to mend the situation. "I live here, but the house isn't mine. It belongs to my boss. I'm looking after it for him!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a bit reserved.
"Then forget it. We'll find another place to live."
Wang Tingting also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I knew it. How could someone like you, a coward, afford such a super mansion?"
Chen Fan ignored Wang Tingting, got out of the car, opened the door, and looked earnestly at Su Yingxue.
"Yingxue, please rest assured. My boss isn't usually in Hangjiang. When he occasionally comes over, he finds it inconvenient to stay here and prefers to stay in a hotel. It's just a house. How is it different to live in it? Just treat it as the rental apartment you're looking for."
"It still doesn't seem right, does it?" Su Yingxue said anxiously.
"There's nothing wrong with it. I've already spoken to him." Chen Fan said quickly, "The boss agreed and was even happy. An empty villa would be lifeless. The more people living in it, the more lively it would be, and the happier my boss would be."
Wang Tingting's eyes lit up. "Coward, did your boss really say that? Then I'll live here too! Tsk tsk, such a luxurious villa, it would be a waste not to live in it. What do you think, Yingxue?"
Chen Fan glanced at Wang Tingting and shook his head helplessly.
However, in order to get Su Yingxue to agree to move in, Chen Fan had to endure his displeasure and agree.
"Alas, Yingxue, let's go inside first. I've already said it's a waste not to live here. Besides, if Auntie lives here, she won't be afraid of getting lost, right?"
Living in a high-end villa area like Xiangshan Tanfu, the property management was very considerate. They truly didn't need to worry about Li Xiuying wandering off and getting lost anymore.
"Big Brother Chen, thank you. We'll stay for a while, and when I get paid and find a place, we'll move out!" Su Yingxue said gratefully.
Finally managing to persuade Su Yingxue, Chen Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, let's go inside!"
Just as Chen Fan and the others were entering the villa, a good show was unfolding in another garden villa.
