Chapter 511: 510: Reconciliation (Second Update)

Chapter 511: Chapter 510: Reconciliation (Second Update)

Yin Qin stayed with Ji Baixin in the hospital for several days.

Ji Baixin refused to speak or eat, surviving only on IV nutrition, her body weakened to the extreme.

No matter how Yin Qin tried to amuse Ji Baixin, to win her favor, to comfort her, it was all futile.

Ji Baixin seemed to be living in her own world.

Seeing no alternative, Yin Qin called Zhang Qingmei.

Upon hearing about her daughter’s plight, Zhang Qingmei started sobbing on the spot.

Yin Qin was the one to pick up Zhang Qingmei, who wept sorrowfully in the car.

The sound of her sobbing was so heartbreaking that it made Yin Qin’s eyes fill with tears.

He suppressed his emotions.

Once Zhang Qingmei stopped crying after an unknown amount of time, she said, “Yin Qin, I beg you not to abandon Baixin. Baixin is such a stubborn girl. Now that she’s lost her uterus, I’m not sure if she can continue to live...”

“Don’t worry. I will always stay by Baixin’s side. I will never abandon her, never.”

“Baixin must have accumulated a lot of good karma in her previous life to meet you in this one.”

“Please don’t say that, auntie. If it weren’t for me, Baixin wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

“Don’t blame yourself,” Zhang Qingmei said, “I know Baixin’s character; she’s just too stubborn.”

Yin Qin swallowed, refraining from further conversation.

Yin Qin took Zhang Qingmei to the hospital.

Zhang Qingmei brewed postpartum soup for Ji Baixin.

Seeing Zhang Qingmei’s appearance, Ji Baixin found herself somewhat stirred up.

She wanted to keep her misfortune a secret, she didn’t want anyone to see her in this desperate state!

She’d rather bear everything alone than show her vulnerability to others’ sympathy.

“I’m your mother!” Seeing through Ji Baixin’s thoughts, Zhang Qingmei yelled.

Ji Baixin was taken aback.

“I am your mother. There is no suffering that you cannot share with me, no disgrace you cannot tell me about! Anyone in the world might laugh at you or abandon you, but not your mother!” Zhang Qingmei was visibly emotional.

After reprimanding Ji Baixin, she broke down crying.

Her uncontrollable, heart-wrenching sobbing started all over again.

Ji Baixin was stunned by her mother’s breakdown.

Witnessing her mother cry like this in front of her, as if the world was ending, tugged at her heartstrings.

In the past, she always felt that her mother’s attention was always on her father or her brother. She even thought that her mother had never truly cared about her, that because she was just a daughter, she could be treated any way, and her feelings didn’t matter.

But now, it seemed as if she had been deeply hurting her mother all these years; over the years, her mother had been enduring it all without limit.

Ji Baixin also started crying.

Tears flowed down like a broken dam.

She was under extreme oppression.

After learning that she had lost her uterus, she several times succumbed to suicidal thoughts, but managed to persuade herself to live each time.

She didn’t understand why God had been so cruel to her.

Time and again, she endured such tremendous blows.

The mother and daughter wept in the hospital room.

It was as if they were unleashing all the pain and misunderstandings that had accumulated over the years between them.

Yin Qin stood silently in the doorway, watching them without interfering.

His eyes reddened repeatedly.

It was uncertain how much time had passed.

Zhang Qingmei wiped her tears, ladled out some soup from the thermos, and carefully blew on it until it was warm,: then she spoon-fed Ji Baixin.

Ji Baixin watched her mother.

From her childhood to adulthood, she could not remember a time when her mother had ever fed her this way before.

From her childhood to adulthood, they had never been this close to each other.

Zhang Qingmei seemed much calmer now. She said, “Baixin, I apologize for the past wrongs.”

Ji Baixin looked at Zhang Qingmei.

Zhang Qingmei’s eyes were still red, but she was not overly emotional, “I neglected you in the past. You were right; I revolving my life around your father. I was desperate to lead a life of luxury and wealth, to the point that I could even give up my dignity.”

Ji Baixin felt an ache in her heart.

Ji Baijian instantly became solemn.

Ji Yunlei said, “It’s getting late, time to head out.”

“Hmm.” Ji Baijian nods lightly.

At that moment, Yin Qin and Ji Baixin also prepared to leave.

The four of them left the house together.

Song Zhizhi watched as Yin Qin and Ji Baixin left, while she sat in the passenger seat of Ji Baijian’s car.

Song Zhizhi murmured to herself, “I wonder if Yin Qin is truly enjoying his life now.”

At that moment, Ji Baijian was fastening his seatbelt.

Upon hearing her words, he glanced up at her.

He said, “When you choose a path, you’ve got to eat the shit that comes with it.”

“...”

Only Ji Baijian could come up with such harsh words.

Driving away from the Ji family’s villa, Yin Qin glanced back at Ji Baijian’s car in the rearview mirror.

He had a bit of jealousy.

He felt that Ji Baijian, that wily old fox, why couldn’t he spend his life alone? Why could he find true love and have such an inseparable relationship?

“Yin Qin.” Ji Baixin suddenly called him.

Yin Qin refocused his attention.

He could be a bit petty.

“When you have time, let’s go to your mother’s house.”

Yin Qin was startled. He looked at Ji Baixin incredulously.

Ji Baixin said, “You’ve always been the one to bridge the gap between me and my family. After 25 years, I never thought I’d want to reconcile with my parents and have a good relationship with them. If it weren’t for you, I’d still be at odds with my family.”

Yin Qin chuckled, feeling quite accomplished.

“You’ve been trying to get along with my parents for my sake, so why shouldn’t I make an effort with your family? I know your mother wasn’t fond of me in the past, but since we’re a couple now, it’s my responsibility to earn her approval.”

“My mother is very stubborn. When she has an opinion of someone, it’s hard to change it. And she has always believed it was because of you that Xiaolang and I didn’t end up together. I’m afraid she’ll give you a hard time.”

“Even so, I still need to win their forgiveness.”

“Baixin...”

“Yin Qin, if it weren’t for you, I probably would have died hundreds of times by now. If it weren’t for you being by my side and helping me through so many dark times, I wouldn’t know that there are still things in this world worth holding on to. I’m not afraid of death, why should I be afraid of your mother?”

It’s only because you haven’t met her that you don’t know... just how frightening my mother can be.

But now that Baixin is willing to take the initiative to meet my family, I am certainly willing to help ease the relationship between her and my mother.

It’s not like my mother has really driven me out of the house, denying her son completely.

“Ok, let’s go to my house for dinner tomorrow, but you need to be mentally prepared.”

“Hmm.” Ji Baixin gave a slight smile.

Having experienced so much, it seemed as though she’s finally seen through a lot of things.

She was too selfish before, she didn’t cherish what she had.

Now, she didn’t want to behave recklessly.

Now, she just wanted to be with Yin Qin, she wanted to cherish their time together.

The following afternoon.

Yin Qin picked up Ji Baixin as soon as he got off work.

Ji Baixin specifically prepared gifts for Yin Qin’s parents.

Yin Qin was really worried that Baixin wouldn’t be able to give the gifts to them.

With a nervous heart, he led Ji Baixin into the house.

He could still vividly remember the scene of being chased out the door by his mother wielding a kitchen knife.

He held Ji Baixin’s hand.

Together, they walked into the villa’s living room.

In the hall, they heard Qin Keqin’s merry voice. The high-pitched, exaggerated tone was obviously used when she was playing with a little tiger – it was a lot more animated than her normal speaking voice.

At that moment.

Along with seeing Yin Qin’s parents, Yin Qin and Ji Baixin also saw Luo Xiaolang and a little tiger.

Yin Qin thought to himself at that moment.

What you fear most always comes to pass!
