Any woman who was praised as young would be unable to contain her happiness. Hu Yunrong was no exception as well. She smiled and said to Lin Xi: "I'm almost fifty already, how can I bear the two words' young '?"
Lin Xi continued to speak sweetly: "But you look to be around thirty years old. You're really very young."
Hu Yunrong was so coaxed by her that she beamed with joy, adding on to the faintly discernible sense of intimacy, she soon started to chat about life with her.
Initially, Lin Xi only wanted to stabilize Hu Yunrong first, and then further probe her purpose of coming to the hospital to accompany him. But perhaps it was because the mother and daughter duo's fate was still present, she did not expect Hu Yunrong to be completely unguarded against her.
So, she thought about it and took the opportunity to say, "I can see that you and your husband must have a very good relationship. Only when the relationship between husband and wife is harmonious and every day feels good can you live forever. If you don't mind, can you tell me about you and Mr. Lin? How do you know love? "
Perhaps, she could get some clues from the story regarding Lin Qian's biological father's death.
Hu Yunrong loved to pour out her heart, she looked at her husband who was lying on the sickbed, and her heart was filled with emotions, as though she had wanted to pour out her heart to him a long time ago.
Thus, when she heard Lin Xi asking about her past, she naturally responded, "Of course not."
She held onto the hands of the person on the sickbed, as if she could feel his aging and the loss of his life.
"You must have heard a bit about me and my husband. I was married to him again, and at that time, I already had Lin Qian. Little Qian's dad died in a car accident, and she was just born. I was so busy dealing with her dad's affairs and taking care of her. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I'm actually a very weak person. At that time, every time I heard Lin Qian cry, I would cry along with him.
"Fortunately, at that time, I met the current mister. Not only did he help me deal with my ex-husband's funeral, he even took care of me. The most important thing is that he really likes Lil 'Qian." In the end, he replaced my ex-husband as the pillar of support for me and Little Qian.
"Actually, nothing amazing happened between us. Only when he wanted to marry me did his family disapprove, but despite the objections of the crowd, he still brought me and Little Qian back home. At that time, I was afraid that Xiaoqian would be wronged, so I made an agreement with him before we got married. We won't have any more children, just one is enough.
"But I got pregnant unexpectedly. "I did not want that child in the first place, and it can be seen that my husband was reluctant to part with it. I was also unwilling to part with my heart, so we had another little girl …"
Speaking of the little girl, Hu Yunrong suddenly paused for a moment before continuing: "She looks like me the most, and is a star.
"Even after my husband and I had a little girl, he still treated her as if she was his own daughter. He is a very responsible man."
Although Hu Yunrong loved to pour out her heart to others, she still deliberately avoided some sensitive areas.
It was only today that Lin Xi found out why her mother had never liked him.
She smiled wryly, her mood mixed.
Now, she finally had the chance to come into contact with Hu Yunrong, and Hu Yunrong was also willing to talk to her. This was the best opportunity for her to find out the truth behind the severe car accident back then.
Lin Xi agreed with what Hu Yunrong said, and said probingly: "I heard that there was a secret behind the accident that year …"
"What secret?" Hu Yunrong looked at Lin Xi with vigilance.
Lin Xi saw that she had aroused Hu Yunrong's suspicions anyway, so she did not beat around the bush and directly asked: "I heard that when your ex-husband was in a car accident, there were traces of the brakes being broken by someone. Furthermore, Mr. Lin married you later on and completely controlled the Twin Wood Company back then. Therefore, many people speculated that your ex-husband's car accident was a secret, and that it was most likely planned by the Mr. Lin.
"Although there haven't been many people talking about it these two years, I still want to know whether the person lying on the bed whom I have always respected is the murderer or not?"
Hu Yunrong looked at Lin Xi for a while, then laughed out loud: "I finally know why I feel that you're familiar now, there are some places where you're very similar to my little girl."
After saying that, the caution in her eyes suddenly disappeared, "I don't know why you care so much about what happened that year, but it doesn't matter if I tell you.
"The car my ex-husband drove was indeed tampered with during the accident, but the car wasn't my ex-husband's, it was my current husband's. They had a good relationship with the Twin Wood Company, when my ex-husband borrowed my current husband's car for convenience, and accidentally got into a car accident.
"The surveillance from back then was not as popular as it is now, so we were unable to find out why the car moved its hands and feet. However, I believe in my current husband's character, and I believe that someone tried to kill my husband but accidentally injured my ex-husband.
That's why I sold all of my shares to Lin Quansheng. Rather than saying that he took over Twin Puppets Company for benefits, it would be more accurate to say that he was short-sighted, I never thought that both sides would one day grow up to be on the same scale as Lin's. "" Lin Qian is still young, and I don't know how to manage it.
In the end, Hu Yunrong concluded, "My husband is a good person, I have never doubted this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought Little Qian to marry him. "
Lin Xi asked again: "What about the share transfer contract? I heard that the transfer price on the board is far lower than the market price, and everyone even took this as evidence of Lin Quan Sheng seizing Shuangmu Company, saying that he deliberately bullied you orphans and widows. "
Hu Yunrong seemed to have expected that she would ask about the shares. She whispered into Lin Xi's ear: "The contract's share transfer price is indeed very low, but the reason for that is just to avoid taxes. Because of Lin Quansheng's guilt at the time, the amount of money she actually paid me far exceeded the amount of money I had at that time. "
The tax system of that era was still not very strict. Many people would even go up and down to settle accounts with their companies. However, this method of avoiding taxes was not uncommon. Even the law enforcement authorities had turned a blind eye at that time.
Hu Yunrong even joked: "I'll tell you about this right now, you better not report me."
Lin Xi was startled for a moment. Although she believed that her father would not kill people for benefits previously, the low price contract still made her suspicious. She had thought of countless possibilities, but she didn't expect that her father would do it to avoid taxes.
With Hu Yunrong's explanation, everything that happened that year started to clear up. However, if sshe thought about it carefully, he would realize that she had missed the most important part. In the end, who was it that wanted to harm her father and purposely broke his brakes?
If he couldn't find the real culprit, then everything they said today was just words without any proof. It wouldn't prove his innocence …
After a round of conversation, Lin Xi saw that Hu Yunrong's words were full of trust and defense for her father, and her resentment towards her subsided a little.
Even though she had treated him far less meticulously than she did with Lin Qian, she had never treated him so harshly since young. Therefore, even though Lin Qian had repeatedly warned her that she had to keep a distance from Hu Yunrong in order to guard her father, after spending the entire day with him, she still couldn't help but get closer to him.
She didn't seem to know about Lin Qian's actions at all, she had only come to accompany her lover to overcome this obstacle.
In order to test her, Lin Xi had even specially left the ward, leaving her and her father alone.

Early in the morning on the next day, Lin Quansheng was pushed into the operation room.
Hu Yunrong stood guard outside the operation room with bloodshot eyes. Her expression was not any less relaxed than Lin Xi's, she had not even eaten lunch.
Finally, after a long and anxious wait, the lights in the operation room went out. The attending physician came out and said, "The operation was successful. The patient has been transferred to the ICU. If nothing goes wrong, he will wake up within 24 hours."
Lin Xi was both crying and laughing; she was overjoyed, and did not notice the slightly unnatural expression on Hu Yunrong's face, who was at the side.
ICU intensive care unit (ICU) has strict access rules, allowing relatives to visit once every six hours, only one person at a time, and no more than five minutes.
Lin Xi had originally wanted to take turns to visit with Hu Yunrong, but Hu Yunrong, as her family, advised her to rest first. He did not intend to leave her with the chance to visit.
After all, Lin Xi's current identity was only that of an outsider. She didn't have any reason to snatch Hu Yunrong's limited chance to see him, so she could only return to the hotel first. The doctor said that his father would wake up tomorrow and that the hopeful wait would not be painful.
Not long after Lin Xi left, Hu Yunrong changed into a sterile coat and entered the Intensive Care Unit.
Since she was in the hospital for the past two days, she could tell that Qin Yu was extremely attentive to Lin Quansheng. Regardless of whether it was the medical conditions here, or the professor who had been hired with a huge sum of money, all of them were at a first-rate level standard. Hence, the success of Lin Quansheng's operation was within her expectations.
However, this was also the outcome that she didn't want to face the most.
This meant that she would have to do it herself, make this successful operation go awry, and let those who should have recovered sleep forever.
She didn't know if it was because of her misconception, but she felt that Lin Quansheng's complexion seemed to have improved after the operation. Although he looked no different from yesterday, she felt that he would probably suddenly open his eyes the next moment.
This also reminded her that Lin Quansheng would wake up at any time, so she didn't have much time to hesitate.
With a shake of her hand she took from her pocket a pinch of white powder with a hint of bitter almond.
That was potassium cyanide, an extremely poisonous substance. Although it was only a small amount that couldn't even fill up the gaps of his fingernails, it was more than enough to take both Lin Quansheng's life.
Lin Quansheng was indeed a good person. He had helped her go through the darkest period of her life, and even helped her raise Little Qian with utmost care. He had never treated the mother and daughter duo unfairly. In her heart, although Lin Quansheng was not as good as Yang Jing, she still treated him as his husband and respected him as well.
But it was only fate that made a fool of her. She had to choose between her lover and her daughter.
This decision wasn't made because of Lin Qian forcing her to do it, but because of her own choice.
