Chapter 92: Zeng Jiahe
At this moment, Yiyi was rushing to the food factory with a serious expression on her face, but when she arrived, she found out that Xiao Hong had already left. Her expression became even more grim, "Sir, when did my sister leave?"
"I remember it was around two thirty in the afternoon, but I didn’t pay close attention to the exact time. It was roughly at that time."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi quickly thanked him and immediately left. She carefully searched along the road from the food factory to home, but didn’t find any sign of Xiao Hong. However, two women chatting by the roadside caught her attention.
"It was really dangerous just now. If that young man hadn’t saved her, that girl might not have survived."
"Yes, indeed, the girl’s also lucky to have someone rescue her, otherwise a perfectly good person would be gone. Fortunately, the young man wasn’t seriously injured. A simple bandage at the hospital should suffice." At the end, the woman couldn’t help but complain, "Those three-wheeler drivers are really reckless these days, driving so fast with so many people around."
"Yes, exactly," the other agreed, nodding.
"Aunties, what exactly happened here just now?"
The two women, hearing the voice, saw Yiyi and replied, "Little girl, you’re curious about what happened just now, aren’t you? There was indeed an accident here earlier. A three-wheeler came speeding by, almost hitting a girl in a red dress. Luckily, a young man rushed in to save her. He got a bit injured himself, and both of them went directly to the hospital afterwards."
Yiyi immediately asked upon hearing that, "What did that girl in the red dress look like?"
Seeing Yiyi’s anxious expression, the two women didn’t hold back and described some features directly.
As soon as Yiyi heard, she immediately thought of Xiao Hong. What these two women described was exactly like her. "Aunties, did they go to the town hospital?"
"Yes, they went to the town hospital."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi quickly thanked them, "Thank you, the girl you mentioned might be my sister. I’ll go find them right away."
"Ah, so she’s your sister, no wonder you’re so anxious. You’d better hurry to the hospital and see."
Yiyi still felt a bit anxious. After thanking them again, she left immediately. When she arrived at the hospital, she saw Xiao Hong supporting a young man as they walked out.
"Yiyi, why are you here?"
Xiao Hong was a bit surprised to see her sister coming over.
Seeing that Xiao Hong looked healthy and the man beside her only had his arm bandaged, Yiyi finally felt at ease.
"Sister, I heard on the road that there was an accident, and the description sounded just like you, so I hurried over here."
Hearing this, Xiao Hong quickly said, "I’m fine, you don’t have to worry."
At this moment, the man beside Xiao Hong spoke up, "Xiao Hong, is this your sister Mo Yiyi? I’ve heard her name before but never met her, and now we’re running into each other here."
Surprised, Yiyi glanced at the man with curiosity, thinking he seemed to know her sister.
Zeng Jiahe, seeing Yiyi’s puzzled expression, smiled and said, "Hello Yiyi, I am Zeng Jiahe, a friend of your sister’s."
Xiao Hong opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, all she said to Yiyi was, "Yes, he’s someone I knew from before."
Yiyi looked at Xiao Hong, then at Zeng Jiahe, but didn’t ask anything more.
Finally, it was Zeng Jiahe who said, "Xiao Hong, so you all moved to the town. Since we met today, I should visit your mother."
"You... let’s go together then."
Xiao Hong originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking of how Zeng Jiahe had just saved her, she said nothing more.
Yiyi raised an eyebrow at this but didn’t say anything either as the three headed towards South City, with Zeng Jiahe buying several bags of fruit along the way.
When Ding Yuejun saw Yiyi and Xiao Hong return, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "Yiyi, Xiao Hong, you’re back, come in quickly."
"Mom..."
Mo Shan was overjoyed to see her mother return and immediately hugged her.
Xiao Hong’s face softened as she saw her daughter and she directly picked her up.
It was only then that Ding Yuejun noticed Zeng Jiahe and, upon seeing his face, couldn’t help but be a little surprised, "Oh... aren’t you Zeng Jiahe?"
"Yes, Auntie, it’s me. Nice to see you, I’m surprised you still remember me."
Ding Yuejun heard this, glanced at Xiao Hong, and seeing her elder daughter’s natural expression, said nothing more and invited everyone into the living room.
"Xiao Hong, why are you back so late today? Yiyi was worried and went looking for you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong quickly recounted what happened earlier.
"Phew... it’s good that you’re all fine, otherwise what would we do?" Ding Yuejun looked at Zeng Jiahe as she spoke, "Thank you so much for today."
"Auntie, it’s what I should do. I was quite startled at first; when I saw someone almost get hit, I didn’t think twice before rushing in. After saving her, I was surprised to see it was Xiao Hong."
"Uncle, so you saved my mom? Thank you,"
Mo Shan roughly understood the situation, looked at Zeng Jiahe with a serious expression, and thanked him.
Zeng Jiahe looked fondly at Mo Shan and said, "No thanks needed." Finally, he couldn’t help but pat the little girl’s head and praised, "Shanshan is really cute."
Hearing someone praise her, Mo Shan couldn’t help but giggle.
Ding Yuejun chatted with Zeng Jiahe for a while longer and then invited him to stay for dinner, "Why don’t you stay for dinner tonight before you head back?"
Zeng Jiahe didn’t hesitate much and directly nodded, "Then I’ll take up your offer."
Yiyi, noticing the time, saw that it was almost time for school to let out, so she didn’t return to school but went straight to her room to study. When Fei Erya arrived, she also brought back Yiyi’s school bag.
"Erya, thank you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to do my homework tonight."
Fei Erya shook her head quickly and said, "No need to thank me." Then she asked about Yiyi’s afternoon, "Why did you leave so suddenly this afternoon? Did something happen?"
"It was nothing much."
Yiyi briefly explained what had happened.
Fei Erya, upon hearing this, said, "No wonder I saw someone unfamiliar earlier, turns out he’s the one who saved Sister Xiao Hong. We should certainly thank him properly."
Ding Yuejun was quick in action. After preparing the meal, she called everyone to eat directly.
After having dinner, Zeng Jiahe didn’t stay long. He smiled and bid farewell to Ding Yuejun and the others, finally looking at Xiao Hong, he said, "Xiao Hong, be sure to stay safe next time."
