When Gu Jingmo heard that Di Youyou had suffered such a serious injury right under his nose, he completely lost control.
His tears flowed faster and more fiercely than water from a faucet.
It left Ma Ming momentarily unsure how to console him. This young man’s reputation online was truly hard to describe—even a non-fan, non-follower like Ma Ming wanted to say Gu Jingmo was pitiful.
Who would have thought this guy actually had some sense of responsibility as a guardian, knowing to feel heartache for his little sister.
Ma Ming had also seen the text message from Lin Xiaoyu and finally learned that the online rumors were all misunderstandings.
“Don’t worry, your sister was rescued by us in time and doesn’t have any serious injuries!”
“Thank you, Officer!”
Li Jingmo wiped his tears, planning to go and perish together with that damn bastard Fu Jie once Di Youyou regained consciousness.
He thought about how he, as an older brother, was such a failure. In the more than half a month since Di Youyou came to Beijing, it was actually this little kid who took care of him more.
Dinner every evening was made by his sister, clothes were washed by his sister, and even his work was planned with her help.
Yet he had zero sense of crisis!
It was only now that Li Jingmo realized Di Youyou had probably indeed learned a bit of the Mystic Arts from that old Taoist priest Liaochen. The little one had truly seen that he was about to face misfortune and chased him away…
But he never expected it would put her herself in danger.
Li Jingmo thought that once this bold little thing Di Youyou woke up, he absolutely had to tell her that she must discuss things with adults before acting.
This was very important!
Meanwhile, Di Youyou was sleeping soundly, feeling too hot, and the little one even kicked the blanket off.
Ma Ming kept watch for three hours, confirming that Di Youyou had safely passed the most critical three hours the doctor mentioned.
Only then did he exchange contact information with Li Jingmo and go home to rest.
There were too many matters to handle tomorrow; tonight’s incident had far-reaching implications.
Early the next morning, sunlight streamed through the window onto the little dumpling’s face. The fine fuzz on the adorable girl’s face was clearly visible, like a peach.
Di Youyou opened her sleepy eyes, sat up in bed, and stretched.
“Guoguo!”
Li Jingmo had fallen asleep slumped over Di Youyou’s hospital bed.
Awakened by Di Youyou’s call, Li Jingmo was momentarily dazed before his mind fully cleared.
“Youyou, how are you?
Are you hurt anywhere?
I’m sorry, it’s all your brother’s fault for not protecting you…”
Di Youyou was an adult, so naturally she could hear the guilt in Li Jingmo’s tone.
She covered Li Jingmo’s mouth with her hand.
“Don’t talk about those things, don’t talk.
Guoguo, my tummy is hungry.”
Only then did Li Jingmo gently pinch the little one’s cheek.
“Come on, let your brother carry you to wash up first.
I asked your Brother Zuo to bring breakfast; he’ll probably be here soon.”
Di Youyou obediently let Li Jingmo carry her to the bathroom. After washing up, they returned to the hospital bed.
Li Jingmo helped the little girl tie a pretty bun, then wanted to properly interrogate Di Youyou.
At that moment, Qi Zuo pushed the door open with his arms full of bags.
“Youyou, my little princess, are you okay?”
Qi Zuo also felt guilty and had secretly slapped himself several times. That dog Fu Jie, just wait!
Qi Zuo had already watched Di Youyou’s entire livestream from last night and had screenshotted and saved all the key evidence.
“Brother Zuo, hungry!”
Di Youyou’s eyes lit up when she saw Qi Zuo. This silly boy was easy to get along with; he always fully cooperated with whatever Di Youyou wanted to do and never spoiled the fun.
So Di Youyou also liked this sunny young man very much.
Qi Zuo grinned broadly, patting his chest in assurance.
“Our Youyou has suffered. Don’t worry, Brother Zuo bought all your favorite foods.”
Qi Zuo tossed Di Youyou’s change of clothes onto the sofa before taking out food containers one by one from the shopping bag.
“Here, have a few mouthfuls of millet porridge first to settle your stomach.”
Qi Zuo came over holding a small bowl of porridge, even using a spoon to stir and disperse the heat, ready to feed Di Youyou.
Then, a slender, pale hand reached out from the side and snatched the porridge away.
Qi Zuo: “…”
Watching the two of them vying for her attention, Di Youyou covered her little mouth and secretly giggled.
It’s fine, he still had more.
Qi Zuo immediately went to fetch the chicken leg, mini buns, and children’s fries…
Just as Di Youyou was eating with relish, Qin Chenghao, the mayor of the capital city, arrived with a large entourage to offer his condolences.
The incident last night where the ‘Who is the King of Singers’ program crew gathered in the forest park had already caused a huge uproar, so the higher-ups had to come and make a statement.
“Excuse me, is this the room of the little friend Di Youyou?”
An assistant politely knocked on the door, holding children’s milk and snacks.
Qi Zuo ran to open the door.
He was instantly startled by the scene outside.
So many people?
“Hello, sir, we are from the municipal government.
Our leader, Mr. Qin, has come to visit the little friend Di Youyou!”
Qi Zuo hadn’t expected the little kid to have such a big reputation! Naturally, he didn’t dare block the mayor’s entourage.
He opened the door and stepped aside, letting everyone in.
Di Youyou was still slurping down her porridge in big mouthfuls, not the least bit afraid in the face of so many people.
Li Jingmo glanced at the man at the front, a glint flashing in his eyes, but he didn’t step forward to acknowledge him.
Qin Chenghao also hadn’t expected this little brat Li Jingmo to be so bold. It was only after he learned about yesterday’s live-streaming incident and personally called back to ask Li Zhong, the Li family’s butler, that he found out Li Jingmo had secretly adopted a little girl behind his sister and brother-in-law’s backs.
Because Li Jingmo had never been close to his parents since childhood and had basically lived with his grandmother.
As an uncle, he was naturally very concerned about his little nephew and often kept in touch with Li Zhong.
But he hadn’t expected that old fellow to follow the little brat’s lead in mischief, keeping such a big secret hidden for over three years.
Qin Chenghao pretended not to know the few young people in the room.
He let his assistant communicate with Di Youyou first.
Listening to the assistant convey their intentions, Di Youyou scratched the back of her head somewhat sheepishly.
Had her live-streaming effect yesterday been so explosive that it caught the attention of the authorities?
“Of course, Youyou has no problem with that.”
After the assistant signaled to Qin Chenghao, she brought a stool to the bedside for Qin Chenghao to sit on.
“Hello, little friend. I am Qin Chenghao, the mayor of the capital city.
Is your body doing alright now?”
The interview equipment behind the hospital bed was already fully set up.
“Youyou’s body is just fine! Strong enough to beat an ox to death.
I’m sorry to have worried everyone. Youyou feels very embarrassed.
The police officers arrived in time yesterday, so Youyou wasn’t really hurt. Please don’t worry.”
The adults present were somewhat moved. This little girl who looked only three or four years old was truly endearing!
“Little friend, how did you know about the plan to expose the bad guys through the live stream yesterday?”
Di Youyou did not immediately play dumb, after all, it was she who had first notified the fans that there was a good show to watch, and only then made these preparations in advance.
She did not want to lie.
“I naturally have my own channels to know, but it’s not convenient to reveal them now.”
