Chapter 409 - Did you know the truth?

"Did you know Xin Mei was not your blood-related sister?" Su Yuchen asked Xin Yan whom he had caught eavesdropping their conversation.

"Are you asking me this question?" Xin Yan chuckled. "I was already twelve when I saw Mian for the first time, with my grandmothers. At that moment, I knew I had to protect her. I was not able to protect Xin Mei but I wanted to protect her. I wanted to make her my real sister." 

"I still remember the time which I had spent with my grandmothers and Xiao Mei when mother was in the coma. She was my power during those sad times. I wanted to make her my family." Xin Yan turned and looked at Su Yuchen with amus.e.m.e.nt in his eyes. 

"Why do you think she called mother, mother in the hospital after seeing her for the first time? I taught her that. She was not able to remember her real memories so I gave her the memories of Xin Mei. I was a kid and I thought what I was doing was right."

"You love her as your real sister, don't you?" Su Yuchen asked with a sad smile where Xin Yan grinned widely. "I do."

"I love her very much. I am ready to do anything for her. I was a puppet in her hands, always spoiling her and that was the reason I let her be in love with that Qian Fan because he was what made her happy."

"I was the only one who suggested father to send her to self-defence classes because I was afraid that someone would again attempt to kill her. Not only that, I was the one to hide the photos of real Xin Mei from the house. I was ready to forget about my real sister for Xiao Mei."

Su Yuchen felt emotional when he heard Xin Yan. "Thank you for being her brother." Overwhelmed with emotions, Su Yuchen hugged Xin Yan tight.

Both men shared a long hug, sharing their emotions in that hug, especially Su Yuchen. 

Su Yuchen was feeling hell emotional from yesterday. Many secrets were disclosed in front of him which had made a part of his mind a little numb.

He could not believe his fate. He had a sister and his childhood sweetheart was alive and was his wife, his love, his Xin Mei.

He did not know if he should be sad or happy. Sad that his sister was suffering somewhere or happy that he had found his Mian in form of Xin Mei?

"Chen, Yan, Xin Mei has woken up. She is asking for you, Chen." Xin Jin informed and smiled. He could feel a heavy burden had been lifted off from his shoulders.

Both Xin Yan and Su Yuchen nodded their heads before following Xin Jin toward the room of Xin Mei.

Su Yuchen entered inside the room of Xin Mei and tears appeared in his eyes when he saw her speaking with He Lin. His heart boomed with happiness that she was alive and all fine.

"Chen," Xin Mei spoke in a hoarse voice once her eyes fell upon Su Yuchen.

"Mei." Su Yuchen sobbed and rushed toward Xin Mei, taking her in his arms. He was careful of her injuries when hugging her.

Xin Mei's family when saw their emotional state, decided to leave both of them alone in each other's arms. They made their way out of the private room.

"Oh my Mei, I am so happy that nothing happened to you." Su Yuchen chocked on his sob and pressed a sloppy kiss on her forehead. "You don't know how afraid I got when…" He trailed before again hugging Xin Mei tight.

Xin Mei looked at the tears of Su Yuchen and felt a pain in her heart. With each tear, she felt something was slicing her heart.

"Please don't cry." She whispered with a lot of energy. She tried to move her left hand which was not an easy task for her. She felt her whole body was made of stone, too heavy for her to lift. 

"Chen," she placed her shaky hand over his cheeks and removed his tears. Su Yuchen saw that she was forcing herself to remove his tears. He quickly removed his tears and took her left hand in his.

"How are you feeling?"

"Pain." She m.o.a.ned. "It feels as if someone had hit me with a truck again and again, and my legs tied in plaster is not helping me."

Su Yuchen lifted his lips in a sad smile and looked down at her with a sad eyes. "I am sorry. I am at fault for your accident."

"How so? Who is behind this accident? Jiang Biyu?" Xin Mei whispered the last part and coughed hard. She blinked her eyes a numerous time to shoe away the haziness due to the medicines.

"Yes, Jiang Biyu is behind this." Su Yuchen murmured. "She wants you dead to see me suffer. I am happy that she again failed and you are alive. If not...." Su Yuchen gulped and took a deep breath.

"Oh, Chen." Xin Mei gently ran her thumb on their interwind hand.

During the time of her accident, for the first time in her life, Xin Mei became very afraid, not for herself but for Su Yuchen. She knew Su Yuchen would break down upon the news of her accident. She knew he would do something to himself in case something befell upon her.

She had prayed to God to save her, only for Su Yuchen. She wanted to survive the accident for him. She knew he would die without her and it was not acceptable to her. She was ready to fight with anyone to return to life, for him.

"Mei, you should sleep. You need a proper rest for recovery."

"Hmm." She m.o.a.ned like a kitten and pulled their intertwined hand below her cheeks. "Stay with me. Don't leave."

"I am not going to leave you, Mei, not ever again." Su Yuchen murmured and pressed a kiss on her lips, making her smile.
