Ch. 246..250: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 246-250
Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Confession Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Confession “Mr. Sheng, you…”
“Doctor, sorry, why don’t you let him go with you, my daughter-in-law is like this now, he won’t be at ease if he stays here.”
The old man Sheng came over and spoke to this Doctor Qin.
Doctor Qin turned around, looked at him, wanted to say something, but ultimately nodded his head.
So, that day, Sheng Siyuan followed the Rehab Center’s car back to Y city.
Nighttime.
The city’s lights dimmed, and after the quiet of the late night, not a single person could be seen outside the Drug Rehabilitation Center. From the hospital room window, one could only see bare branches swaying in the cold wind.
“What are you looking at? Close the window quickly, it’s so cold!”
Yin Hehe came out of the bathroom and saw the man in the room opening the window in the middle of the night. She shivered involuntarily and couldn’t help but complain.
The man immediately closed it.
“I was checking if anyone noticed me. I just climbed up, I hope no one saw me, right?”
He came over, bent down, and brushed the dust off his black pants.
Upon seeing this, Yin Hehe was instantly speechless.
What does he mean by whether anyone noticed?
The Rehab Center had always been under full surveillance. Did he seriously think that he could just climb in as he pleased?
Yin Hehe sat down.
Feeling weak all over, she leaned against the headboard.
Seeing this, Sheng Siyuan immediately came to her bedside and took a pillow to cushion behind her.
“Are you hungry? Do you want me to order something for you to eat?”
“…”
Yin Hehe looked at the man and, unable to bear it anymore, reached out to touch his forehead.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she touched it, her hand was grasped by the man, who then placed it on his lips and gently kissed it as if it were a rare treasure.
Yin Hehe’s face flushed instantly.
“What are you doing?” she asked, both embarrassed and annoyed, trying to pull her hand away.
But how would this man let her have her way?
He saw her trying to pull away, and he gripped her hand even tighter. Eventually, he pressed her slender and slightly cold hand firmly against his chest.
“Wife, I… feel like my heart has never beaten this fiercely before. Do you think, now it truly belongs to me?”
“Huh?” Yin Hehe was stunned.
“What do you mean ‘truly belongs to you’?” She did not understand the meaning of his words.
There was no helping it; it’d been five years since that event and there were some things she truly did not remember.
Like the transplanted heart inside his chest.
But Sheng Siyuan remembered very clearly.
Especially the words she had said when, five years ago, she left with the donation form in hand. Five years had passed, and he remembered every single word she had said. And this was probably the reason why he had resented her for so many years.
Deep down, he had always cared.
Of course, he couldn’t stand these things.
“This heart, you once told me that you came to me because of it. So now? It’s beating so hard today because of me. Are you happy?”
He stared at her intently, the hope in his eyes not the least bit concealed.
It was only then that Yin Hehe understood.
Suddenly, she forcefully pulled back her hand, her little face pale with sickness, flushing and blanching under the man’s scrutiny.
She didn’t have the courage to look him in the eye.
“You’re not happy?” Seeing her expression, Sheng Siyuan’s gaze dimmed a bit.
He had mustered a lot of courage to ask that question.
Thankfully, as his words ended, the woman didn’t nod but glared at him with a hint of annoyance.
“Has your brain really been turned to mush by Jian Zhongzhou?”
“???”
“Did I say something wrong? You were just asking me if I wanted to order something to eat? Big brother, this is a Drug Rehabilitation Center and it’s the middle of the night. Do you think the delivery guy can climb in like you did?”
Yin Hehe cursed in irritation.
The man heard her and finally understood her point, and there he sat on the edge of the bed, clearly embarrassed.
“What about the question that followed?”
“The following questions were even more retarded. Your heart’s been transplanted for so many years, if it wasn’t yours, wouldn’t you have died long ago? How could you still be standing in front of me, jumping around?”
Yin Hehe once again answered his question, both mocking and cursing, with not a hint of sentiment in her tone.
The man listened quietly.
After a moment, he had listened, and sitting there, he lowered his head and began to laugh.
The white light from above shone down, casting a shadow in the deep sockets of his eyes, as if carved by the hands of a master.
“You make sense, it seems my brain really did get waterlogged.”
“Um…”
Yin Hehe didn’t know what to say.
She awkwardly looked away, with a faint blush spreading to her earlobes.
Later, she fell asleep.
She tired easily now, drifting off in a daze, feeling someone embracing her from behind. Accustomed to sleeping alone, she couldn’t help but let out a couple of uncomfortable hums.
Seeing this, the person holding her shifted her into a more comfortable position.
He turned her around, face to face, and pulled her into his embrace.
“Sleep…”
Finally smelling her familiar hair scent, the man reminisced about that night in Provincial City, a sense of satisfaction rising in him.
He too slowly drifted into sleep.
He should have realized earlier that the fragrance on the woman that night was familiar to him.
A good night’s sleep.
The next day.
Yin Hehe slept until the nurse came to wake her, and she jolted awake from her dreams.
“Sheng…”
She immediately looked to her side.
But she found no one in the hospital room.
Gone?
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
However, after she got up, washed up, and finished breakfast, Dr. Qin came to work and sought her out directly.
“Xiaoyin, climbing drainpipes late at night is unsafe. Here’s what you tell your husband, if he really wants to visit, just knock on the door next time.”
“Cough cough…”
Yin Hehe awkwardly looked away.
“There’s another thing, regarding your condition, I could apply for you to receive treatment at Jiangbei Rehabilitation Center, but, Hehe, the conditions there aren’t as good as here. You need to think it over carefully because if you go, you’ll have to stay at the rehabilitation center for a longer time.”
Dr. Qin then told her another piece of good news.
Yin Hehe was stunned.
Going back to Jiangbei?
That would be great, she hadn’t seen the children for so long, she missed them to death.
As for the length of treatment…
“Dr. Qin, may I discuss it with my husband and get back to you?”
“Of course,” Dr. Qin agreed promptly.
“Mainly because your addiction is to a new type of drug, Hehe, let me tell you, cracking it would be a big help to our country’s drug enforcement work. I hope you can understand.”
She admonished with deep concern.
Yin Hehe immediately nodded.
She was a lawyer, of course she understood.
Yin Hehe returned to her room, and in the morning after the meeting, Sheng Siyuan indeed came.
“Sheng Siyuan, I have something I’d like to discuss with you.”
Having waited in the room for a while, Yin Hehe called out to him as soon as she saw him without any thought.
Sheng Siyuan frowned.
Why not call him ‘husband’ anymore?
Chapter 247: Chapter 247 You’re So Sweet Chapter 247: Chapter 247 You’re So Sweet “What’s the matter?”
Sheng Siyuan didn’t fuss about that first, placing some fruits and snacks he had brought onto the small table. He then took out his notebook and sat down to ask.
Yin Hehe: “…”
Was this setup an indication that he intended to work from here?
“Doctor Qin said I could go back to Jiangbei for treatment, but the conditions there aren’t as good as here, and it might take longer. What do you think?”
Yin Hehe joined him in sitting down and noticed amongst the fruits he had brought a round, green fruit with spines on it, looking very much like a cactus.
She picked it up out of curiosity.
“What conditions?” Sheng Siyuan, upon hearing this, didn’t give it much thought and casually asked.
Yin Hehe looked up at him.
“It seems like… it’s about the availability of drugs and researchers? After all, this place is on the border, and the country has provided top-notch talent here.”
“Then can’t we set up another one in Jiangbei? I’ll pay for it.”
That was just the sort of statement you’d expect from an empire tycoon known for his great wealth and generosity.
Yin Hehe stopped playing with the little green fruit in her hand and stared at him, dumbfounded.
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
Did he say something wrong?
Or, after a night apart, had he become even more attractive?
His lips curled slightly seeing that the woman hadn’t moved an inch, and suddenly, he leaned over, his slender fingers pinching her chin.
“???”
Before she could respond, his kiss had already landed between her lips.
Yin Hehe’s face turned red in an instant.
“What are you doing?” She hurriedly pushed him away, worried that the nurses outside might see them.
Sheng Siyuan revealed a satisfied smile and smacked his lips.
“Mrs. Sheng, did you have sugar this morning?”
“Huh?” Yin Hehe, still trying to compose herself, was taken aback once more.
“No, why?”
“It’s very sweet!”
Unexpectedly, the man touched his own lips, seemingly longing for more, and boldly added another sentence.
Yin Hehe: “…”
She had completely lost the desire to talk.
After a moment, she placed the fruit back on the table and stood up to walk towards the door of the ward.
Sheng Siyuan: “Where are you going?”
Yin Hehe: “I’m going to ask the doctor.”
Then, she went out.
The man left in the ward watched the door slowly close and, after a moment, he lowered his head to his busywork as the bright sunlight from the window streamed in, falling on him.
It bathed him in the same radiant smile that was on his lips.
Yin Hehe arrived at Doctor Qin’s office and relayed the discussion she’d just had with her husband.
“Doctor Qin, my husband suggests… if your Drug Rehabilitation Center is willing, he’s prepared to fund the construction of a top-notch Drug Rehabilitation Center in Jiangbei. Jiangbei is a coastal city, with frequent trade. Actually, having a Drug Rehabilitation Center there should solve many problems for the local drug enforcement police.”
Yin Hehe said unhurriedly, her analysis so thorough that it left the doctor completely speechless.
The proposal was undoubtedly a good one.
For a coastal city, having a facility of such caliber in the country would be ideal, but unfortunately, domestic funds aren’t that plentiful, nor is there enough manpower.
Sigh…
Doctor Qin took a while to regain her composure before finally saying, “But, Xiaoyin, do you know how much it would cost to establish a Drug Rehabilitation Center like this? Just the equipment and drugs we are researching…”
“Would ten billion be enough?” Yin Hehe cut her off, her beautiful amber eyes looking at her cautiously.
Doctor Qin: “!!!!”
She nearly grabbed the phone on the spot to call the highest authorities.
This is how the wealthy act, always so generous.
Yin Hehe returned to the ward.
“Negotiation went well, there should be hope.” She walked in lazily and saw that the man in the hospital room was already working, but halfway through, she changed her mind.
She went to the side of the bed.
Sheng Siyuan looked at her, “She agreed?”
Yin Hehe collapsed onto the hospital bed, rolling around with the quilt in her arms, “She has to apply, but I told her you’re willing to give one billion, do you agree?”
Just one billion?
The man sat beside a small desk with his legs crossed, laughing.
“That’s not much money, it doesn’t matter. The happiest thing is that you can go back for treatment.”
Then he looked down and pretended to be casual as he said something very straightforward.
After he spoke, the woman didn’t react.
A natural pink had risen on his fair and handsome face.
But unfortunately, there was no response to these words.
Because at this moment, Yin Hehe had already fallen asleep on the hospital bed, embracing the quilt. As someone in drug rehabilitation, daily treatment consumed a lot of her energy and strength.
So, she basically needed to sleep many times a day.
Sheng Siyuan saw this, got up, walked to her bedside, and saw that she had fallen into a deep sleep in just a short time. Involuntarily, his heart ached a bit.
There was a time when she was as sharp as an eagle.
Always alert.
Sheng Siyuan tucked her into the bed properly and then covered her with the quilt.
“Knock knock knock—”
Just as he finished covering her, someone knocked on the door.
“Doctor Qin?” Sheng Siyuan opened the hospital door and saw it was the doctor. He immediately glanced back at the bed behind him, instinctively closing the door a bit more.
“She just fell asleep, is it possible…?”
“Mr. Sheng, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not here to treat Xiaoyin. I wanted to ask about what Xiaoyin just told me, is it really your intention?”
She stood at the door of the hospital room, full of expectation.
Sheng Siyuan suddenly realized.
“Of course,” he sighed with relief and quickly nodded.
Doctor Qin immediately showed an extremely excited expression, rubbing her hands she quickly said, “Then I’ll arrange a meeting with our leadership for you. Xiaosheng, I really need to thank you this time. This is ten billion! The country really needs to express its gratitude!”
Even her way of addressing him had changed.
This was the first time Sheng Siyuan was being called like this, a bit uncomfortable, yet it also gave him a sense of affection.
Wait a minute, ten billion?
Wasn’t it one billion?
As Sheng Siyuan followed the doctor out, this question lingered in his mind.
At noon, Yin Hehe finally woke up.
“Hehe, Doctor Qin and your rich and handsome husband went to discuss building the Drug Rehabilitation Center. I’ll be responsible for your treatment today,” Nurse Zhang said as she came in with a tray of medicine, seeing that she had woken up.
Yin Hehe saw the tray and reflexively turned pale.
No matter how strong a person is, this painful and torturous process would make anyone fearful over time.
Yin Hehe lay on the hospital bed.
“Nurse Zhang, are you married?”
“Hmm?”
The nurse who was preparing the medicine looked up, “Not yet, but I have a boyfriend.”
“Is your boyfriend handsome?”
Yin Hehe asked another question.
Nurse Zhang thought about it, compared her boyfriend in her mind with the wealthy lady’s rich and handsome husband in front of her.
In the end, she looked down in dismay.
“Not as handsome as your husband, nor as rich. So sad.”
“Hahaha—”
Yin Hehe was amused to laughter.
Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Who is the Flower? Who is the Manure? Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Who is the Flower? Who is the Manure? Yin Hehe that day ended her treatment in the afternoon by chatting with the nurse.
It was still very painful.
But for some reason, as she chatted, time seemed to pass more quickly.
By the time Sheng Siyuan came back, she had already taken a bath and was lying softly on the bed.
“Treatment finished?”
Seeing her like this, Sheng Siyuan, who had hurried back, couldn’t help but feel very guilty at the bottom of his heart.
Yin Hehe, seeing him like this and despite feeling very tired and weak, still smiled at him.
“How did it go?”
“It’s fine, they agreed,” Siyuan said, perking up again when the topic came up.
He sat on the edge of her bed and saw the small green fruit that she had been playing with that morning on the bedside table. He picked it up and leisurely began to peel it.
“However, they didn’t ask for one billion, but ten billion.”
“Huh?”
Yin Hehe, curious about the fruit, looked up at him when she heard this.
“What ten billion?”
“You know, the funding matter you mentioned this morning. Didn’t you say one billion?”
The man finally peeled the “immortal fruit” completely and seeing the woman staring unblinkingly, he brought it to her lips.
Yin Hehe: “…”
A very sweet fragrance wafted over, and she had no interest in listening to him anymore, biting into it right away.
“Wow, delicious, what is this exactly?”
After eating it with relish, she happily inquired about the name of the fruit.
Sheng Siyuan smiled.
“I don’t know either. I saw it at the supermarket and bought it. The person who sold it said it seemed to be the fruit of a cactus.”
“Cacti bear fruit too?”
Yin Hehe was very surprised.
Helpless, she was a southerner, and while she had grown cacti before, she had never seen them bear fruit.
Yin Hehe got up, asking the man to fetch two more, and this time she peeled them herself.
Si Yuan watched her, suddenly finding it somewhat amusing.
He thought of Little Bun at home.
He hadn’t noticed before; now, it was clear that the little foodie had inherited this from the woman.
“Right, about that ten billion thing you mentioned just now, I can’t remember. Did I make a mistake? Should I go and clarify with them?”
Yin Hehe, finally done with the fruit and licking her fingers contentedly, remembered the previous topic.
Sheng Siyuan sighed.
Could this be the pinnacle of a prodigal wife? A slip of the tongue cost her husband nine billion.
Sheng Siyuan didn’t bring the topic up again.
That afternoon, because there was some urgent business to deal with at the company, Sheng Siyuan went out for a while. By the time he returned, the sun was setting, and Yin Hehe, who had been approved to go out for half an hour each day, was already waiting there.
“Dr. Qin said there’s a market here. Shall we go and have a look?”
She asked, full of anticipation.
Sheng Siyuan was stunned, “The market? What’s there to look for? It’s crowded and packed with people.”
“Mm, I just want to see,” Yin Hehe’s gaze was cast forward, suddenly turning tender.
It was like the gentle rising of smoke from earthly fires.
Seeing this, Sheng Siyuan understood.
Yes, those who had come back from the brink of the Ghost Gate probably first longed to see this lively atmosphere.
The pair got into the car, driving towards the market in the fiery glow of the evening.
Actually, in this city, the market is not like the southern food markets but a mix of snacks, stalls, performances… akin to a pedestrian street, only with a more ethnic and local flair.
Many tourists came, and they all enjoyed browsing around.
When Yin Hehe got out of the car and saw the market, she too was very excited.
“So many people, so much good food, Youyou would definitely love it if she were here,” she said.
She thought of her daughter.
Sheng Siyuan accompanied her at her side.
As a golden child who had only frequented high-end places since childhood, he was definitely not used to places like this.
Plus, he had a touch of OCD.
So, as soon as he entered, he felt very uncomfortable.
“I want to eat that.” But as soon as Yin Hehe entered, she plunged into the crowd upon seeing a street snack she fancied not too far away.
In a panic, Sheng Siyuan had no choice but to follow her closely.
Ten minutes later, when the two emerged from the stall, Yin Hehe was holding two skewers of aromatic grilled kidney, which she handed to the man.
“Eat?”
“No need, you eat,” Sheng Siyuan replied while taking out a pristine handkerchief to wipe his hands and clothes.
At the sight of those skewers, he refused without a second thought.
Seeing his reaction, Yin Hehe did not insist.
Thus, as they strolled along, she kept eating while Sheng Siyuan was either paying or cleaning up after her.
By the end of their jaunt, it was unclear whether it was Yin Hehe’s unappealing behaviors that were turning stomachs or Sheng Siyuan’s untouchable high society demeanor that was drawing so much attention.
So much so that when they left, there was a large group of people staring at them from behind.
“What’s their relationship, exactly? The man looks like upper crust, but why does the woman act like a delinquent?”
“Delinquent? I don’t think so. She’s pretty too, but she’s a bit crude in her behavior and speech!”
“Exactly, it’s like putting fresh flowers on a pile of manure.”
In the end, they even overheard such comments.
Having had her fill, Yin Hehe was now sitting on a bench at the market exit, resting. Upon hearing those words, she immediately turned to look at the elegant man standing beside her.
“Mr. Sheng, who do they mean by ‘manure,’ you or me?”
“Me!”
To her surprise, this seemingly unattainable man straightforwardly applied the term to himself.
Yin Hehe lowered her head and chuckled.
Having rested enough, it was time to go back. Yin Hehe stood up and slowly walked back the way they had come, with one hand enveloped in the warm palm of the man beside her.
“Regarding the company, what are your current plans? Offending Jian Zhongzhou couldn’t have made things easy, could it?”
“…Yes.”
Upon hearing this, the man hesitated before nodding.
He knew that this woman was smart, and even if he wanted to keep things from her, her experience and understanding of society would make it impossible.
“Let me guess, after suffering such humiliation, he’ll probably use all his connections, especially in the political sphere, to deal with you, right?”
“Yes,” Sheng Siyuan admitted again.
“So, I’ve been wondering if it’s time to break away from my original principles and start infiltrating that circle.”
He frowned as he spoke, and for the first time, a conflicted and troubled expression crossed his handsome features.
Yin Hehe stopped walking.
She turned around and, amidst the bustling market, looked at the man’s handsome face and the untainted dark eyes behind his glasses.
“Don’t do that. I’ve seen too many cases of collusion between government and business, and in the end, business has never outplayed government, just like with Bai Feite we encountered in the States. Do you remember?”
“I remember,” Sheng Siyuan nodded.
“You mean if I do that, I will end up like it?” he asked, with a furrowed brow.
Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Earth-Shattering Secret Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Earth-Shattering Secret “There’s no difference!”
Yin Hehe was very certain in her answer to this question.
“It’s also the first in Europe, but in the end, wasn’t it still played to death by the military of the M country?”
“…”
Sheng Siyuan fell silent.
As the two continued to walk, just as they were about to leave the market, a farmer’s wife carrying fresh flowers came up to sell, and upon seeing them, she immediately greeted, “Buy some flowers? Just picked, they’ll light up your whole house in a vase!”
Light up the whole house?
Yin Hehe hadn’t planned on buying any, but upon hearing this, she suddenly stopped.
“Can these wax plums bloom if I buy them?”
“Yes, they are exceptionally long-lasting, if you buy them now, they can bloom for half a month.”
The farmer’s wife introduced them with enthusiasm.
Yin Hehe was tempted.
She really did want to add a touch of different color to her always monotonous and boring hospital room.
Yin Hehe bought a bunch of wax plums.
Back in the car, holding them, she suddenly said, “How about, once I’m well, I go take the exam to become a prosecutor?”
“What?” Sheng Siyuan, who had just started the car, was shocked by her words.
“You’re going to take the exam to become a prosecutor?”
“Yes, go to the highest Prosecutors Office. With my qualifications, it shouldn’t be too hard. In this society, no matter how powerful you are, only the law can ultimately deter it. Since Jian Zhongzhou now wants to use all connections to come after us, I’ll just guard this gate and deal with them one by one!”
Yin Hehe, holding the wax plums, said with a resolute look in her eyes.
Sheng Siyuan was stunned.
Coming back to his senses, his gaze on this woman became so blurred that he had to turn his head away.
She was really adorable.
To think she even came up with such an idea for him.
A prosecutor, but if one is thoroughly corrupted, who can ensure it’s still pure land? Take for example that lawsuit in the provincial city, Shangguan Jianying’s entry into the Prosecutor’s Office isn’t it the best example?
“Okay, first get treated.”
However, he didn’t deny her suggestion. He waited until the sourness at the bottom of his eyes passed before he revealed a smile again, reached out to rub her head, and agreed.
Yin Hehe immediately became happy.
Back in the hospital room, having eaten her fill and being tired, she quickly fell asleep hugging a blanket.
Sheng Siyuan made sure she was well covered with the blanket and also sat down in a chair to rest.
“President, the old master is asking when you will return? Over in the capital… it seems your mother has had an accident.”
The screen suddenly lit up, a message from Xu Guannan came through.
He saw it, his pupils contracted.
“What happened?” He picked it up and quickly replied.
After all, she was the mother who had given birth to him.
Xu Guannan: “When she was sent over, the Wang Family didn’t open the door at all. The old lady knelt outside all night and then fainted at the door the next day. It was your grandmother who found her and had her sent to the hospital.”
“…”
Agitation rose, and he left gripping his phone.
A few minutes later, Sheng Siyuan’s father, who was far away in Jiangbei, received a call from his son.
“Dad, about mom… maybe you should bring her back. Xu Guannan just said that the Wang Family wouldn’t open the door, and she knelt outside all night and was taken to the hospital.”
Sheng Siyuan hesitated before starting to speak.
However, as soon as the words dropped, he heard the old man roaring thunderously on the phone, “She brought this upon herself! Do you not remember what she has done to you, to this family?”
“…”
Sheng Siyuan remained silent.
That sentence only made his gripping fingers on the phone turn whiter, the veins popping out.
How could he forget? All of his present tragedies were caused by this mother, and if possible, he would also like to cut ties with her for life and never see her again!
Sheng Siyuan took a deep breath.
“I understood, I will arrange it, and you don’t have to worry.”
Then, he hung up the phone.
It didn’t take long before Xu Guannan received a call, instructing him to secure a room in the capital for Mother Sheng to stay in, and not to worry about anything else.
However, when Mother Sheng in the hospital room heard the news, she was still overjoyed.
“Was it my son who arranged this for me?” she asked excitedly.
Xu Guannan’s expression was indifferent.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now,” he said as he turned and left the hospital room.
Mother Sheng didn’t try to stop him.
At that moment, she was completely immersed in the surprise, mumbling to herself happily in the hospital room.
“I knew it, my son wouldn’t abandon me. The child I labored so hard to bear, he couldn’t possibly give up on me.”
“Really?”
The door to the hospital room was suddenly pushed open again.
Mother Sheng immediately looked up, only to find a very familiar person, so familiar that she started trembling at the sight of her.
“You… why have you come?” She was so frightened that she kept backing away.
“Why have I come? Of course I came to claim my daughter’s life from you, my dear cousin!”
This person pressured in step by step toward the bedside, like a haunting ghost.
Yes, she was Jian Rou’s mother.
“Back then, I went to great lengths to save this son for you, and found a good family for both of you. What did you say? You told me that as long as you, Wang Wanjun, had a bite to eat, you would never forget about me, Wang Meifeng. You promised to share wealth and glory with me, but what happened?”
Suddenly, she shouted fiercely, grabbing Mother Sheng by the collar!
Mother Sheng began to tremble violently in her grasp.
“Over the years, not only did I gain no benefit from you, but now my daughter has died at the hands of your son. Wang Wanjun, you wretch, I won’t let you and your son get away with this!”
She screamed hysterically, her face twisted as though she was a demon from Hell.
Mother Sheng was terrified.
Hearing those words behind her, she disregarded the pain in her body, and made a difficult climb up in her grasp just to kneel down “thump” in front of Jian’s mother.
“It’s my fault, Meifeng. You can hit me, scold me, even kill me if you like; just please, don’t go after my son, will you?”
She desperately clutched at her arm, pleading.
But the moment she finished speaking, Jian’s mother flung her violently to one side!
“Don’t go after him? Hahahaha… Are you joking? My daughter died, why should your son live well in this world? I’m telling you, I will not only go after your son, I will ruin him. I’ll let the whole world know, your son does not carry the Sheng name…”
“Shut up!!”
From where she summoned the courage, nobody knew.
But the kneeling Mother Sheng suddenly shouted in defiance.
Jian’s mother froze.
She looked down at the old woman, seemingly unable to believe that she still dared to tell her to shut up at this time.
“Wang Wanjun, what did you just call me? Shut up?”
“Yes!” Unexpectedly, at that moment, Mother Sheng seemed like a completely different person.
Her eyes were bloodshot, but her expression was immensely resolute and fierce.
“So you just want someone to replace your daughter’s life? Fine, Wang Meifeng, I’ll replace her!”
Incredibly, she let go, slowly pulling herself up from the sickbed.
Jian’s mother saw this and, snapping back to reality, erupted in a fit of enraged embarrassment.
“You replace her? What are you worth? Are you fit to match my daughter’s life?”
“Fit or not, I’ll replace her!” Mother Sheng declared, emphasizing every word.
At this point, she had already made her way step by step to the hospital room’s window.
“Wang Wanjun, do you think that if you die, I won’t go after your son? That he won’t owe a life then?”
Jian’s mother, deeply agitated by this scene, finally lost control and screamed shrilly.
However, Mother Sheng, who had already climbed onto the windowsill by then, looked back at her with an eerily calm smile.
“You can’t touch him, Wang Meifeng. Did you think I didn’t know? All these years, you’ve actually been secretly searching for the man who touched me. You wanted to dig him up and demand a king’s ransom from me, to control my son and the Shengshi Group in your hands, didn’t you?”
“…”
“I’m telling you, you’ll never find out. Today, I’m taking the secret with me as I leap down. My son will always be a member of the Sheng Family!”
Like someone liberated, she left behind those final words and in a blink, she threw herself out of the window!
Chapter 250: Chapter 250 She Panicked Chapter 250: Chapter 250 She Panicked “What did you say? Jumped off a building!”
When the news reached City Y, dawn was just breaking.
Sheng Siyuan had been sleeping soundly with the woman in his arms on that small hospital bed.
Suddenly receiving the call, he abruptly opened his eyes, and all traces of sleepiness vanished.
“Hmm…”
Yin Hehe also heard the noise in her sleep and began to stir in his embrace.
Seeing this, Sheng Siyuan got up.
He took his phone, gently pushed her aside, got up from the bed, covered her with the blanket, and then got down.
“Yes, they say it was around dawn when a hospital worker passed by there and saw her lying on the ground. By the time the doctors arrived to confirm, she had been dead for over two hours,” Xu Guannan said guiltily.
Because according to the time, it was when he left the ward.
Sheng Siyuan was already experiencing some agitation in his chest.
“Why would she jump off a building? Because I didn’t let her return to the Sheng Family?”
“I don’t know.” Xu Guannan was also in a bad mood.
“When I left yesterday, the old lady was indeed very agitated. She kept confirming with me whether you had arranged a house for her in the capital. Fearing she would keep brooding over it… I just told her not to think about anything else. I don’t know if what I said made her despair.”
By the time Xu Guannan reached the end of his sentence, his voice had become so low it was almost inaudible.
Sheng Siyuan didn’t make a sound again.
He clenched the phone, his eyes fixated on the sky outside that hadn’t fully brightened yet, as if something had suddenly pierced his eyes, and within a few seconds, he was desperately blinking!
But still, the mist in his eyes blurred his vision.
She was always his mother.
In his memory, apart from being too interfering in his marriage and her boundless generosity towards her maternal family, particularly towards Jian Rou’s mother, who was her cousin.
Aside from that, she was a qualified mother.
And sometimes, she was even overly indulgent towards him!
Sheng Siyuan hung up the phone, turned around, and only then noticed that the woman on the bed had woken up.
At that moment, she was sitting quietly in the bed, watching him.
“Did your mother pass away?” she asked softly after seeing he had finally finished the call.
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
After a long while, he nodded, his eyes turning red, “Yes, she jumped from the hospital ward!”
Yin Hehe was stunned.
How could this happen so suddenly? Was it because the old master had sent her back to her mother’s home?
Her complexion grew pale, she flung off the blanket, and slowly walked up to the man. It took her a long time before she dared to reach out and grasp his arm.
“I’m sorry, it’s all because of me. If she hadn’t disliked me, and you had married Jian Rou, none of this would have happened.”
She was filled with guilt.
At the same time, as she lowered her head, her voice also carried an evident trace of panic.
Someone who had been through so many trials and tribulations.
Someone who could usually keep her composure.
Suddenly felt panic at the bottom of her heart.
Was it because she feared this man would blame her, and then keep his distance from her?
Sheng Siyuan didn’t say anything. He just gently held her in his arms. His broad palm and strong arms enveloped her petite frame entirely within his warm chest.
“As such a wise person, you should know not to casually take responsibility for the faults of others. Even without you, I would not have married Jian Rou; there’s no direct cause and effect between you two,” he gently said, atop her head.
Yin Hehe was suddenly taken aback!
He actually spoke such insightful words, and even though he was the one suffering from the loss of his mother right now, at that moment, he was as clear-headed as an outsider.
Yin Hehe’s eyes moistened.
Leaning against his chest, she heard the strong and powerful beating of his heart in her ears, and suddenly, she understood why she was attracted to him, even though she had married him as a stranger.
Indeed, those two years, even though he treated her poorly, on a human and moral level, he never did anything too outrageous to her.
Even with Lin Shuang present.
Thinking about it now, he never touched her status as his wife, and if it weren’t for that woman forcing him with a fake pregnancy, he probably wouldn’t have brought up divorce with her.
Yin Hehe felt completely at ease.
Half an hour later, the man had packed everything, and Yin Hehe reluctantly walked him to the door of the ward.
“Be careful on the road,” she advised.
Sheng Siyuan nodded, perhaps his mood was really a bit off, as he forgot to respond to her when he left.
To give a farewell hug.
Or perhaps… a parting kiss.
In any case, when Yin Hehe watched him disappear from her sight, he never looked back and deep down, she still felt a tinge of disappointment.
When she closed the door and returned to the ward, seeing how the room suddenly felt so empty, her heart also felt hollow.
“Ding!”
Her cell phone screen lit up.
She immediately grabbed it and switched on the screen.
[Wait for me to reach the capital then I’ll contact you. I’ve asked the nurse to prepare breakfast. After eating, remember to exercise. Six push-ups, a hundred skips, and after exercising, take six vitamin pills. Got it?]
It turned out to be a long list of meticulous instructions.
Yin Hehe’s smile slowly spread again, she held her phone and her mood instantly brightened. Jumping out of bed, she began working out on the floor.
No, she insisted on exercising before breakfast.
Because the doctor said that it’s easier to gain fat if you eat after exercising, she now needed to gain weight, needed strength, needed a body that could stand up to treatment!
That way, she could follow him back to Jiangbei sooner.
Yin Hehe spent three days in the Drug Rehabilitation Center following this routine, and after three days, news came from Jiangbei that the old lady’s ashes had been brought back, ready for burial.
“So the old man agreed to hold the funeral rites?”
This message came from her brother Yin Beixiao who called her, and upon hearing it, she immediately asked.
Yin Beixiao nodded on the other end of the phone, “That old man isn’t heartless. At this stage, he’s definitely going to give in.”
Yin Hehe: “…”
After a while, she gathered the courage to ask her brother, “Bro, do you think I should go back?”
“What?” Yin Beixiao was startled upon hearing this.
“You better not. Sheng Siyuan’s grandmother and their family will be there. If you show up, probably everyone will be against you. It’s better if you don’t go looking for trouble.”
“…Alright then.”
Yin Hehe could only let go of the idea with disappointment.
And she also understood that she hadn’t received any message from Sheng Siyuan until now because he probably didn’t want her to be disturbed by those people.
Yin Hehe didn’t bring it up again.
However, she didn’t anticipate that it would be this funeral that led the Wang Family from the capital, upon seeing that she hadn’t returned, to take out their frustration on her daughter Youyou, who bore a striking resemblance to her.
“Your name is Youyou, right?”
At the funeral, with many guests present, Aunt Ke was busy, and Youyou, wearing a little white flower, had no one to accompany her, so she went alone to the pond to watch the goldfish.
That was where she met the people from the Wang Family in the capital.
“Yes, Grandma, who are you?”
Youyou was very polite. When the strange Grandma stopped her, she didn’t continue feeding the fish, but instead turned around and looked at the Grandma obediently.
Upon seeing her like this, the Wang Family became even angrier.
