Jin Yuanyuan's Top-Tier Life

Chapter 46 The Meaning of Life

There were no beds available today, but the doctor squeezed in an examination room and added a bed. "The child is young, so please keep a close eye on him. That's all for tonight; you can move him to a ward later when more rooms become available."

Jin Yuanyuan immediately nodded her thanks and saw the doctor out.

Jin Jia suddenly burst into tears at this moment, feeling very sad.

Jin Yuanyuan could only hug her, "It's okay, it's okay, everything's alright now, isn't it?"

When Hu Liqiu arrived, Xiao Xuanxuan had already finished her surgery and was sleeping in the ward. He brought a lot of food, all of which he had made himself, and it was almost too much to fit in the small ward. There was meat and vegetables, and he even prepared steamed egg custard. He was truly a model of a virtuous husband.

When he saw Jin Yuanyuan, he thanked her politely: "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, Xiaoya wouldn't know what to do."

"Sigh... I won't ask about your affairs anymore, but that fund... sigh, I won't ask about it today either." Jin Yuanyuan suddenly realized that nothing she said was appropriate. "The doctor said that Xiao Xuanxuan will wake up soon. Actually, it was brought to the hospital quite timely, and there's nothing seriously wrong. However, because she's so young, they want to observe her a little longer. Generally speaking, she can be discharged in a week."

"Okay, okay." Hu Liqiu no longer had the same enthusiasm he had when he called out to Jin Jia, and his face was full of sincerity.

Jin Yuanyuan looked at him, then at Jin Jia, and this time she was truly depressed. "Jin Jia, you have to eat a bite first, then I can eat too. You're the older sister."

Jin Jia looked at Jin Yuanyuan with red eyes, then at the small bedside table in front of Xiao Xuanxuan's hospital bed, and cried even harder.

"Sister, I'm starving! And you two scared me to death." Jin Yuanyuan pretended to be relaxed, but she was also quite embarrassed to be caught between the two of them.

"Yuanyuan, you can eat first." Hu Liqiu handed the chopsticks to Jin Yuanyuan, then bent down to touch Xiao Xuanxuan's face and sighed softly.

"Oh, right, Xiao Boteng is in Jin Yaya's office. My sister is looking after him, so don't worry." Jin Yuanyuan quickly added, "Sister, what brand of formula is yours? Feiyan just sent me a WeChat message saying that Xiao Boteng is eating too much and is about to finish his formula. Could he have some rice porridge instead?"

"Okay." Jin Jia wiped her face. "A softer rice porridge will do."

"Okay, I'll talk to her. Let's eat something first, or we'll both be starving by the time everyone else is ready." Jin Yuanyuan pulled Jin Jia down to sit and whispered, "Eat quickly. If you really want to yell at him, eat first, it'll be more effective."

Jin Jia smiled.

After finishing her meal, Xiao Xuanxuan woke up.

When she saw her father, her little face looked so wronged, which made Jin Jiaya quite angry again. "Daughters are always closer to their fathers. Look at you..."

Hu Liqiu started crying at this moment, quite heartbroken, holding Xiao Xuanxuan tightly and refusing to let go.

Jin Yuanyuan had no choice but to remind her again, "Xiao Xuanxuan had an operation on her stomach, and they took out her intestines."

As a result, Xiao Xuanxuan burst into tears, making the ward extremely noisy.

Jin Yuanyuan left the three of them some space, went out and washed all the dishes, and bought some things that the child patients needed. She finally got everything done.

When she returned to the ward, Xiao Xuanxuan was asleep again. Jin Jia and Hu Liqiu were talking quietly, and they seemed to be doing well.

Better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage.

Although Jin Yuanyuan also disliked some of Hu Liqiu's actions, she seemed unable to say anything at this moment.

That evening, Hu Liqiu left, saying he had an appointment to repay everyone's fund losses, even if it meant borrowing money. Jin Jia saw him off at the hospital gate before turning back to Jin Yuanyuan and asking, "Are you particularly curious why I didn't yell at Hu Liqiu?"

"I'm not that curious..." Jin Yuanyuan grinned. "This is between you two, and I, as an outsider, don't want to know too much."

"You're quite insightful," Jin Jia chuckled softly.

"Keep a good mindset, don't rush, don't panic, and don't get angry." Jin Yuanyuan tidied up Xiao Xuanxuan's bedside again.

"You know, you'll have your share of hardship too," Jin Jia said, sounding like someone who'd been there all along.

Jin Yuanyuan didn't like hearing such words and retorted directly, "Don't say that, I'm fine."

"Hu Liqiu said that all that money can be covered, and it doesn't need to be from the Jin family. He calculated that the principal can actually be recovered, and the loss won't be too great. I'll cover the cost of rebuilding your warehouse; send me the invoice later." Mentioning money, Jin Jia regained her previous energy.

"Fine." Jin Yuanyuan wouldn't stand on ceremony. "Is there any compensation for emotional distress?"

"Want me to buy you bubble tea?" Jin Jia laughed. "Or would I rent that bubble tea shop near the entrance for you for the whole day?"

"Never mind then, I've had too much to drink." Jin Yuanyuan looked at Jin Jiaya like this and suddenly thought that the relationship between people is really strange. She had only been back in Jin Yaya for a few months, but she had already developed such a relationship with her rival Jin Jiaya. So, would there be a chance for her and Zhang Dali to get back together?

My thoughts suddenly drifted away and became a bit chaotic.

"What? Should we go back first? I'm staying with Xiaoxuan tonight, and I don't feel comfortable leaving her with a caregiver." Jin Jia sat down and looked at her sleeping daughter.

"Okay. I'll stay with you until eight o'clock. Go wash up first."

"Hu Liqiu said he'll pick up Xiao Boteng tomorrow... I haven't told my parents about this, so please don't tell them," Jin Jia said in a low voice. "They're quite angry, so I don't dare contact them..."

"Don't worry, Jin Feiyan said she really likes Xiao Boteng and can't wait to spend more time with him." Jin Yuanyuan suddenly remembered that the reason Jin Feiyan and Cao Xiaoyu divorced was because of their disagreement about having children. At the time, Jin Feiyan absolutely refused to have children, but now, holding Jin Jia's youngest son, her attitude had suddenly changed. So, is it possible that she and Cao Xiaoyu might remarry?

So, should she call Cao Xiaoyu and tell him?

Jin Jia seemed particularly moved today. She smoothed her hair and sighed deeply. "Most things in this world are meaningless. Meeting and parting, the coming and going of fate, even the separation of life and death—it's all just about enduring or enjoying. There's no need to think too much about it; it only adds to your troubles. I suddenly realized today that nothing is predetermined; everything is accidental, so there's no need to be attached. Life boils down to one sentence: no matter what, you have to survive and live. That's the meaning of life."

That seems to make sense.
