Chapter 81 - What A Real Family Is Like

Hearing that it was okay to go in and see Lin Xiaoxiao everyone grew excited. But Qin Mei quickly stopped Little Bo. Little Bo looked up at Qin Mei with a confused expression. "Let me go in and explain your situation first or your sister might freak out if she saw you like this."

"Un… That is probably for the best." Little Bo nodded. Qin Mei patted her on the shoulder before going into the room with Shen Xing.

The doctors had flipped Lin Xiaoxiao over so she was now laying on her back. When Lin Xiaoxiao saw Shen Xing and Qin Mei walk in a bright smile formed on her face. "Xing! Mom!" 

"Xiaoxiao will it kill you to stay out of the hospital for more than just a few months? Seems we end up having to visit you in here all the time." Qin Mei said in a teasing tone. 

Lin Xiaoxiao's face blushed red: "It's not like I wanted to be shot you know!" Lin Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue before realizing she did not see Little Bo "Oh, hows Ruru!?" 

"She's fine. She's outside but I had her wait so that you did not get the wrong idea after seeing her. Right now she is confined to a wheelchair until after her physical therapy is over. The doctor said she will be up and walking again soon. " Hearing these words made Lin Xiaoxiao breathe out a sigh of relief. "With that being said this incident was not small. Mo Yan suffered third-degree burns, so did two of your other bodyguards and one died. Your sister Xi Yanfen committed suicide and your other sister Xi Yanfan is now in prison waiting for trial. She will more than likely be given a death sentence. The one who created the bomb slipped away. No one even knows what his  name was..." Qin Mei did not want to keep anything from Lin Xiaoxiao so she felt it was best to say it all out now then let her find out about it later.

"Mo Yan and the other two guards are being given the best treatment money can buy. With today's technology with some skin grafting, they will be as good as new within a year. I also gave a large sum of money to the other guard Xun Lei's family the one that passed away. The funeral will be held next week. If you want  and are able to we can go and pay our respects." Shen Xing wanted Lin Xiaoxiao to know that all those who had been hurt or passed away are receiving the best help and compensation that can be given.

"Yes, I would like to go. His name was Xun Lei… I never did get to know all their names." Lin Xiaoxiao committed this man's name to memory so that she will never forget that he died because of her and due to her own carelessness. Shaking her head Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Mei and said: "Call Ruru in for me please."

Qin Mei nodded and went to get Little Bo. Shen Xing sat down next to the bed and then reached out to hold Lin Xiaoxiao's hand. "This was not your fault. We had no way of knowing that they would send a package with a bomb in it. From now on, for every package, we receive it will be thoroughly examined before being handed over. This was carelessness on my part. So I'm just as much to blame for this as you are."

"Xing it is still my fault that someone died and so many got hurt… But I will do everything I can to make sure my loved ones never get hurt again. Soon two more little ones will join our family. I have to make it so that their lives will be safe no matter what." Tears were forming in Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes but she pushed them back. She looked up and saw Little Bo coming in being pushed by Shen Li seeing this caused Lin Xiaoxiao to smile. It seemed at least something good came from this. Shen Xing got up and moved the chair so that Little Bo could get near the bed. Shen Li pushed her to the bed before turning and leaving the room with Shen Xing. The two guys knew this was time for the girls to talk. 

"Lily, how are you feeling?" Little Bo had tears rolling down her face. She was very happy that her sister was okay.

"I'm fine, the babies are fine as well. Ruru I'm sorry you got caught up in this mess." Lin Xiaoxiao did her best to give a small bow to Little Bo.

"It's fine! It's not like you sent the bomb to yourself… I will be up and about in no time soon. Plus I'm your sister I should share some of your pain..." Lin Xiaoxiao felt the tears she pushed back start to roll down her cheek as she thought: 'This is what it means to be a family. Caring for each other sharing the bad and the good.'

Lin Xiaoxiao never felt so lucky in her two lives. She had a caring and loving sister and a caring and loving mother. "Mom, Ruru, thank you for being with me. Thank you for being my family. Thank you for giving me a new life. Thank you for all the love and care you given me. I love you both so much!" Tears rolled down Lin Xiaoxaio's face like a waterfall.

"Your my sister of course I love and care about you!" Little Bo with tears in her eyes leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Silly girl  we are family it's a given that we love and care for each other!" Qin Mei wiped the tears in her eyes and she also joined in on the hug.

The three stayed like that in each other's embrace taking in each other's warmth. Shen Xing and Shen Li who were peeking in,  each took a picture of this heartwarming scene in front of them. After taking the picture they quietly closed the door. 

Shen Li looked at Shen Xing, his expression serious: "Cousin, I'm thinking of asking Ru'er to marry me..." 

Shen Xing gave a sly smile when he heard these words. "Are you sure she will say yes?" 

"Cousin I'm being serious here!" Shen Li couldn't believe his cousin would be a smartass when he's talking about something so important! 

"Okay! Okay! In all seriousness, I would speak to Xiaoxiao first. She can tell you best if it is the right time or not. I know you love Little Bo but you can't base all relationships on mine and Xiaoxiao's. We kind of did things way too fast. Little Bo is different so she might not want a speedy relationship. That's why my advice to you, Cousin is to talk to Xiaoxiao before you do anything." Shen Xing said this in all seriousness. He wanted the best for his cousin and Little Bo. He wanted Little Bo to be his family in the future. She was a great girl and matched his cousin well. 

"Un… I will do as you say then. Thanks, Cousin." Shen Li smiled. Shen Xing patted his shoulder as the two went to sit down while they waited for the girls to finish talking.
