Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother-Chapter 19 Second Young Master

After washing up, An Yin got into bed and started chatting with her mom on her phone.

When she saw the message from her mom saying that she was safe, her heart immediately warmed.

The scene of the little girl fainting earlier was still vivid in her mind, reminding her of her sick mother.

With red eyes, she held her phone and softly sent a voice message to her mother.

[Mom, I really love you!]

After saying that, she hugged the soft, cozy quilt, as if she were in her mother's arms, and drifted into sleep.

What she didn't know was that on the other end of the phone, her mom, upon hearing the voice message, burst into tears, covering her mouth and crying uncontrollably for a long time...

Elsewhere.

Shi Qing was engrossed in her book when a gentle voice came from behind. An Yin's tone carried a coquettishness reminiscent of the soft Southern dialect of Jiangnan women, which made people feel a tingle in their hearts.

Shi Qing clearly heard her words.

Mom, I really love you!

Such a simple and sincere sentence made her fall into deep thought. For a long time, her book remained open on the same page.

She thought she had let go of the notion of "mom," but unexpectedly, she still harbored a trace of hope.

Shi Qing closed her eyes, shook her head, and tried hard to become clear-headed.

When she opened her eyes again, her face returned to the usual calmness and coolness.

Soon, her gaze returned to the book, as if only by doing so could she discard all her worries.

Bao Mansion.

Inside the hall.

The atmosphere was extremely tense at the moment.

The silent housekeeper standing aside did not dare to make a noise, frequently glancing towards the main entrance, but for a long time, saw no figure. He hunched his back and slowly walked towards the old madam of the Bao family.

"Old Madam, you should go back to your room and rest early, don't tire yourself out," Housekeeper Liu spoke with a heavy tone.

"Zhenxing, do you think I was wrong?"

Zhenxing is Housekeeper Liu's name.

Sitting in the central armchair, the old madam of the Bao family stared straight ahead with deep eyes, but her words came out with a trace of helplessness!

Despite her age and some wrinkles that have formed on her forehead, her complexion was very rosy, indicating she usually took good care of herself.

"Old Madam, don't overthink!" Housekeeper Liu heard her words and, without questioning the reason, immediately comforted her.

Between them, there was a mutual understanding that required the accumulation of time to achieve such tacit understanding.

"I don't want to overthink, but look, what day is it today, has Second Master come back?" the old madam of the Bao family slapped the table next to her heavily with one hand.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, the sound of slapping the table echoed.

This harsh sound was exceptionally abrupt in the vast, empty mansion.

"Old Madam, please don't be angry!" Housekeeper Liu cautiously approached her to prevent her from getting hurt. "Second Young Master... maybe he got delayed by something." Towards the end, his voice grew smaller and smaller.

Even he couldn't fool himself with those words.

"Zhenxing, you're beginning to learn to lie to me now." The old madam of the Bao family took a deep breath, suppressing the anger that had nowhere to vent, and said earnestly.

The next second, Housekeeper Liu saw her stand up. Just as he was about to reach out to support her, she stopped him with a gesture.

"Enough." The old madam of the Bao family sneered, "Blame it on hate then!"

After leaving those words, Housekeeper Liu watched the old madam drag her weary steps toward the inner room, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of desolation!

Ever since that incident, the Second Young Master had never returned home.

Housekeeper Liu shook his head, looking helpless!

When An Yin woke up the next day, she saw a request in WeChat from someone wanting to add her as a friend. She was about to ignore it when she noticed the note, and quickly added them.

For the note read [The little girl you saved].

This instantly reminded her of the little girl who had fainted earlier.

As soon as she added the contact, a message came through.

[Hello, my name is Shen Jingrou, I'm the mother of the little girl you helped yesterday.]

An Yin nervously replied, [Hello, I'm An Yin, is your daughter alright?]

Shen Jingrou: [Thank you for your concern, she's fine now. She's had a frail constitution since childhood and suffers from epilepsy. Yesterday's sudden attack, luckily, didn't cause any further harm.]

An Yin: [I'm glad to hear that.]

So young and already suffering from epilepsy?

An Yin wasn't familiar with this illness, and at this moment didn't dare to ask more, but upon hearing that the little girl was now fine, she finally relaxed her worried heart.

Such an adorable little girl, like a little angel, should be living happily and innocently.

As An Yin was lost in thought, another message came through from Shen Jingrou.

Shen Jingrou: [The little one wants to thank you. Can we meet up someday when you're free? I'd like to thank you in person.]

An Yin looked at the message, slightly taken aback.

Though it was just a sentence, An Yin could feel the sincerity from the other side.

An Yin: [You are really too kind, I didn't actually do much.]

Soon, another message was received.

Shen Jingrou: [Please, you must accept my request. The little one really wants to meet you.]

Seeing her insistence, An Yin's heart softened.

An Yin: [Alright, I have classes these days, can we meet on Sunday?]

Shen Jingrou: [Sure, I'll send you the address then.]

An Yin: [Okay!]

An Yin saw the smiley face sent by the other party and couldn't help but show a faint smile.

Just then, the dormitory door opened, and Jiang Keke walked in from outside, "Yinyin, what are you looking at? You're smiling so happily."

After saying that, Jiang Keke took wide steps forward, intending to look at An Yin's phone to find out.

An Yin didn't attempt to hide it, letting her see, and by the way, recounted the encounter with the little girl from the previous day.

After An Yin finished speaking, Jiang Keke furrowed her brows and said sympathetically, "Epilepsy? Such a young girl with this kind of illness, it's really sad."

An Yin heard her words and felt a bit uneasy, but didn't refute.

"Is this illness very scary?" An Yin asked.

"Not exactly scary, a distant relative's child in my family also had this illness and later, I heard, drowned." Jiang Keke looked regretful and sighed.

"How did they drown?" An Yin asked anxiously.

"With this illness, seizures can happen without any warning. At the time, my relative's child was just by the pond, and without any adults nearby... by the time they found out, it was already too late," Jiang Keke finished and looked dejected, but couldn't help comforting her friend, "There are so many unfortunate people in the world, you can't possibly worry about them all, don't overthink this!"

Jiang Keke saw her friend's sullen look and advised her.

"I know." An Yin's mood instantly darkened, as if a heavy stone was pressing down on her heart, making it difficult to breathe, extremely stifling!
