Chapter 243: Out Of Line

When she arrived at Wang Li Lei's house, she quickly strolled at the house in hope to find Wang Li Lei as soon as she could. Yet unexpectedly someone else had seated down in the couch of the living room as she passed the room. Putting on her guard again, when she saw Wang Yongyi and Wang Yan Zhi, her head inclined to the side unknowingly. "Elder Wang?" She whispered and gathered herself. Bowing down she greeted them. "Good Night, Elder Wang."

Wang Yongyi spared a glaring glance but when he felt Wang Yan Zhi's elbow nudging him, he scoffed under his breaths. "Good Night to you too, Ms. Yu." She greeted her.

Seeing Wang Yongyi she unintentionally stared at him to see his conditions. Finding his face was lively as ever and peachy, she spoke aloud. "I am glad to see you in a perfect health, Mr. Wang. Thankfully you have been released from the hospital."

Yet hearing her words, Wang Yongyi's face sunk cold. Xiao Yun wondered whether her wishing for his health sounded more like a curse to the old man after seeing his face. "About that." Wang Yan Zhi spoke. "My husband wasn't released from the hospital." Alluding softly, the old woman hoped Xiao Yun could understand what she meant. But now Xiao Yun wouldn't be able to think deeper into context as her mind was overly filled by her worry for Wang Li Lei. She glanced at Wang Yongyi in shock. If he wasn't released from the hospital then perhaps he released himself from the hospital? She looked worried at the old man and gave a gentle suggestion. "Are you sure you shouldn't rest more in the hospital, Elder Wang?"

"I don't need it!" Wang Yongyi replied harshly, making Xiao Yun to feel hurt from his tone. She was only asking him, why would he burst out in anger? Does her questions sounded like an interrogation?

"Yongyi." Wang Yan Zhi reminded again. While his husband replied with a grunt hum, Wang Yan Zhe stood and walked from her place to take a seat beside Xiao Yun. Feeling a little awkward, Xiao Yun pursed her lips and saw her reaching to take her hand gently. "First, This old woman have to apologize with you." And she bowed. Xiao Yun stopped her from her shoulder. "Wait, please don't bow to me, Mrs. Wang. You're an elder please don't bow on me." Her words come hurried. Wang Yan Zhi looked at her face, pulling a helpless smile. "No, me and my husband had wronged you greatly, so I have to apologize."

Was she talking of her one sided anger and judgement to her? "Please don't be. If it's about the past I've never one feel offended and hurt so there isn't anything for you to apologize, elder." After all, she had expected it to happen in the first place when she wished to mend Wang Li Lei's Family relationship. Although it was a lie if she said she didn't feel any angry at the beginning, it felt less hurt as it had happened twice.

Wang Yan Zhi shook her head. "It isn't about the past." Then what was she apologizing for? "Today, my husband had done something very out of line."

"Out of line?"

"He tricked Xiao- Lei. Calling him by saying he was hospitalized when it actually he brought him to be engaged formally with Chang Lu." Xiao Yun eyes froze. Engagement? So Wang Yongyi called him out, saying that he was in a hospital only to trick him to engage with Lin Chang Lu?

Xiao Yun almost snapped, she glance at Wang Yongyi who avoided to look at her and turn to face Wang Yan Zhi speechlessly. She retracted her hand from Wang Yan Zhi's touch. Wang Li Lei looked very pale when he received the news but everything was only to trick him? "How could you do that?" How could he do that to his own grandson? Xiao Yun words escaped from her mouth helplessly. She turned her eyes to Wang Yongyi. "Mr. Wang, do you know how worried Li Lei was? Li Lei had been so worried for you." She kept pressing her tone so she wouldn't sound impolite but her angriness was written clearly over her eyes.

"I know!" Wang Yongyi replied harshly.

"If you know then you shouldn't have done that in the first place!" Xiao Yun retorted back angrily. "Mr. Wang, do you know that Li Lei hated hospital the most?"

The two old couple glance at her obliviously giving her the answer to her question from their face. Wang Li Lei hated hospital? They had never heard of that before, not even once even though he had hated it since his entire childhood. Seeing their clueless look, Xiao Yun can't blame them from not knowing anything but, this was too much. It had been almost ten years after Wang Li Lei's parents death and yet they still carter other worthless things that they missed the what had been happening to their own grandson.

"The previous Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang." Xiao Yun started. "The accident that took Li Lei's parents and also involved him to with the deadly car crash. Li Lei had never shown it on his face but their death impact more on him than what you two could ever think. Do you know why he couldn't sleep? It was because he was afraid to be reminded again over the scene of that accident that burned to his mind. Or do you know why he didn't cry on his parent's funeral? It's because his heart was too wounded for him to cry. And why did he always look angry when he entered hospitals? It's because he kept being reminded of the death of his parents!" She gulped, stopping herself from crying out of the pain in Wang Li Lei's heart that he buried for years.

"I am angry." The rim of her eyes reddened as she stared at the two. "But not for you trapping him to another engagement or for you two to reject me. But I'm angry that you two had always avoided your eyes at him. Elder Wang, I'm sure you've noticed it before, why Li Lei had become a cold person? You must have thought it was he's just that type of a person but no. Wang Li Lei is a man with a very warm heart. It was for the sake of others he became a cold person."

The two elder couple couldn't say anything. As every word that Xiao Yun said struck straight to their heart. The loss of their son was too much for them to handle that they didn't took care of Wang Li Lei who was in need of their care after the funeral. As Wang Li Lei had never make a commotion, they never knew how painful he was feeling and unknowingly neglected him in sorrow. When they heard Wang Li Lei had been having insomnia, they panicked but not as much as they had always thought him as a capable grandson who would overcome his own illness sooner or later. Now that the two thought in silence, they had marked Wang Li Lei as a perfect person without flaw that they never properly asked him what emotion he was holding underneath his expressionless face.
