After checking in, we found out that the child was suffering from acute pneumonia due to a high fever. After paying the fees with Tong Xiangyu in the hospital, we completed all the procedures to take care of the child.
Only then did Tong Xiangyu's heart calm down. She sat by the sickbed, her hands still tightly holding onto the child's small hands. At this moment, her face was filled with the sorrow and tiredness of life.
She was only in her early thirties, but her hair was a lot whiter than usual, and her eyes and tail were full of wrinkles. Anyone who didn't know her would think she was forty.
Seeing this, I couldn't bear to keep quiet. I walked behind her and patted her shoulders, comforting her, "The doctor said that he would be fine. He cured me of my inflammation in time, so don't worry too much."
Tong Xiangyu's gaze fell upon the child's sleeping face. She said, "I know that you are helping me today because you want to know something from me."
I came back to reality first. I said: "Miss Tong, my son and I were the only survivors in that accident, while my parents all died in the accident. I did not come here on purpose to disturb you, but there were many suspicious points in the accident that no one could understand, can you understand my feelings?"
His gaze never left the child's body. When we all thought that she wouldn't speak, she said: "Miss Yu, give me some time, I really don't have the mood to talk to you guys too much right now."
At this moment, Tong Xiangyu shifted her gaze away from the child's face and looked at me: "Come find me tomorrow, I'll tell you everything I know and treat it as me repaying you today's favor."
Both Chen Feng and I didn't dare to push his any further. After all, it wasn't easy for her to speak to us like this, and I didn't ask any further. Instead, I took out a stack of envelopes from my bag, and the money inside was money that I had prepared beforehand and planned to give to Tong Xiangyu.
At that time, I thought that if she really refused to speak and used money to buy it, she would always be able to spit out what we wanted to know. However, I didn't expect that my luck today would not be good.
After I placed the stack of money at her bedside, I said, "I don't have any other intentions towards this money, but I simply want to give it to you. The child is currently hospitalized and needs money, so you should use it temporarily.
Tong Xiangyu did not look at the money on the envelope, nor did she take it out. She only maintained her previous posture and said two words: "Thank you."
Chen Feng and I had wasted too much of our time outside, so after we left the hospital, he immediately drove away. On the way, Chen Feng and I felt a bit depressed and he asked me: "Will Tong Xiangyu really say it tomorrow?"
Actually, I'm not too sure either, because it's easier than we thought. But since Tong Xiangyu said that, it should be close to 90% of the time.
I said, "Whatever, since she wants us to go and find her tomorrow, then let's go."
Chen Feng said: "Right now, this is the only way."
When the car stopped on the road not far from the villa, just as I was about to get off the car and leave, I suddenly thought of something and sat back down. I said: "Chen Feng, I need your help with something."
Seeing my serious face, Chen Feng seemed to have expected me to say something, after all, all these years of being husband and wife were not for nothing, he said: "Xiao Jie?"
I said, "Yes, I still want to ask you to leave the child with your mother. Although it's wrong to deceive her like that, but I really have no other choice. You know, if he stays by my side, it's still a hidden danger."
Chen Feng held onto the steering wheel for a long time before saying, "This is also the only thing I can help you with. Although Xiao Jie is not my biological son, his feelings for me over these many years are not fake.
Hearing Chen Feng's words, I calmed down a little.
After I said thank you, I got off Chen Feng's car, and didn't let him see me in again. Chen Feng said goodbye to me, then drove away.
When his car began to fade into darkness, I turned and walked home. I had just reached the iron gate when the whole house was lit up in the middle of the night, as if something had happened, as servants kept going in and out of the gate.
I stood there frowning for a moment, then I carried my bag and walked over. Just as I walked to the entrance, Wu Xia rushed out of the hall and grabbed onto my hand. Her face was filled with anxiousness, and she asked: "Little Wei! Where did you go? Why did you come back so late? Why is it off when I call you? Why didn't you tell me when you went out? Don't you know that we can't find you and you're all going crazy?! "
Just as Wu Xia finished speaking, a sound of a car entering the car came from outside. Wu Xia and I looked over at the same time, and saw that Yu Jin's car was right outside the door, he pushed it open and got off, then walked towards us with a cold face.
Yu Jin's entire body released a cold aura, Wu Xia subconsciously blocked me from her back. She wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, Yu Jin suddenly pulled me away from her back and slapped her across the face.
This slap threw me away from him onto the sofa. My face was burning in pain, I didn't even have time to say a word before Yu Jin picked me up from the sofa and asked: "Why didn't you turn on the camera?"
Seeing that, Wu Xia shouted: "Yu Jin! "Don't do that!"
He simply ignored Wu Xia's words, and asked with an even louder voice: "Why didn't you turn the computer on, huh?"
I covered my face where he had slapped me and smirked at him. I just smirked, but I didn't answer any of his questions.
Seeing my unrepentant expression, Yu Jin raised her hand and wanted to slap me again. Wu Xia who was standing by the side rushed forward and grabbed Yu Jin's hand, begging: "Yu Jin, don't be like this, we have things to say, can't you?"
Seeing that, the servants followed Wu Xia up, and begged for mercy: "That's right, Mr. Yu, Miss Little Wei has just been discharged from the hospital, her body is still weak, please spare her."
When everyone was between Yu Jin and me, Yu Jin glanced at me with a dark expression. In the end, he still put his hand down, lifted his hand to remove the tie around his neck, and sat down on the sofa.
Wu Xia and the servant heaved a sigh of relief. At this time, Wu Xia walked over, and I, who was covering my face with my hands while standing there expressionlessly, sat down on the sofa together. The servant also went to the kitchen to bring some tea.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Jin finally calmed himself down and turned his gaze towards me once more. Seeing that my face was covered with five bright red finger marks, the last trace of displeasure on his face also vanished like smoke into thin air. Replacing it was the gentleness and calmness after the storm.
Hearing Yu Jin's instructions, sister-in-law Zhang immediately replied: "Alright." He immediately went to his room.
After the ointment was taken out, Aunt Zhang went to the side to help me apply the ointment. Yu Jin watched by the side, until the red and swollen parts of my face disappeared, then he got up from the sofa and walked over to me, sitting beside me. His hand seemed to want to touch my face to ask if it hurt, but just as he was about to touch me, I hit him hard with my hand and screamed: "Don't touch me!" Then, under everyone's astonished gaze, he got up from the sofa and quickly ran upstairs.
Wu Xia chased behind me and shouted, "Little Wei! Little Wei! "
I didn't even look back.
Just as she was about to chase him upstairs, Yu Jin who was sitting on the sofa suddenly said expressionlessly: "Stop chasing him." After Wu Xia heard his words, she stopped to look at him. Yu Jin leisurely picked up the cup of tea from the table, lowered her eyes and took a sip. After a long while, she added lightly: "Let her go."
Wu Xia wanted to say something, but in the end, she could only stand there silently.
After rushing into the room, I had locked myself inside. This was the first time Yu Jin had hit me, so I sat in front of the mirror and looked at myself. My five fingers were especially eye-catching under the light, I sneered.
In the following few days, Yu Jin shut me up in his room, and didn't allow me to take a step out of his room. He brought me food and said that he hadn't turned on his computer for the entire day, and that Yu Jin had returned home from work at ten in the evening and hadn't returned home even once he found out that I had gone out in the morning. He, who had always been gentle with his servants, actually went on a rampage towards them.
In the middle of the night, in order to find me, everyone in the villa went crazy, and in the end, even the police were dispatched. That's why when I returned, Yu Jin was so angry.
Wu Xia sighed and said, "Little Wei, for such a calm person like Yu Jin, only someone like you would not be so calm.
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, revealing a dejected and disappointed expression.
Faced with her sudden reaction, I tried my best to soften my voice and comfort her, "Actually, my brother is just a person who is cold outside but hot inside. Although he doesn't say anything to you on the surface, but after you came to live at home recently, his attitude towards you has changed a lot. You should know that too."
A few tears fell from Wu Xia's eyes. I immediately took a tissue from the side and passed it to her. She said: "Thank you." After that, she lowered her head and wiped her tears as she said, "Little Wei, don't comfort me anymore. He really treats me well, but compared to you …"
After she said that, I immediately cut her off, "Sister-in-law, how long have I lived with him? Family and love are not the same, many things between people also require feelings and time to lay the groundwork. If you had lived with him for more than twenty years, he would definitely treat you the same way. "
Wu Xia heard my words. She looked at me and asked, "Is it really what you said?"
I don't know why, but when I saw Wu Xia's hopeful eyes, I actually couldn't answer her.
