Chapter 268 - To Dote On (1)
Deng Wenwen’s face sank as her eyes held mixed emotions and disbelief. She thought about it for a while before answering, “It should be him. Earlier, when I called Xiaye, he answered the phone halfway!”
“He answered the phone?”
Yue Lingsi very quickly caught onto something. She immediately lifted her wrist to take a look at the time. It was close to midnight, which meant…
“Xi Xiaye is with Master Mu?” he could not help but blurt out as she stared at Deng Wenwen with wide eyes.
Deng Wenwen’s aged face started to look uncertain. Although she did not answer, the answer seemed obvious!
“Go ask around in the next few days. I keep feeling that things aren’t that simple. Earlier, your father even warned me not to mess with Xiaye, but with that personality of his, when has he ever not protected Xiaye? Huh, he even said that we can save trouble for ourselves? Just with tonight’s incident, if it were not for her provocation, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.”
As Yue Lingsi listened, she frowned and thought about it for a while. Then, she nodded with a heavy expression. “Okay, I’ll go ask around. Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll talk to Father. About Xinyi, I…”
“Now that things have come to this point, sigh, I think it’s best if we see how Xin Er is first. Most importantly, we have to consider the Han family…”
Deng Wenwen now felt a huge headache too, especially with the way Elder Han had furiously rushed to leave earlier and the way Han Yifeng left without turning back. Even she could not bear the humiliation, what more…
“If it really is true, then Xin Er has really gone overboard. Even your father was… If Mushan finds out about this, he’ll be angry again. You must know that once this matter is dug out again, even he’s implicated. Xin Er’s too rash with her actions…”
Deng Wenwen frowned and glared at Yue Lingsi who was stunned. She quickly said with a pale expression, “Mother, Xinyi was only provoked by the recent incidents. Now that she’s like this, I hope…”
“Enough, the key problem isn’t with me. You’d better think about how to keep the Han family calm. Yueying is finally stable again, so I hope that there wouldn’t be another surge of trouble after this.”
Yue Lingsi was also worn out, so she could only console her, “Yes, Mother, I understand. I’ll think of a way. Yueying will be fine. Let’s take a look at how Xinyi is first.”
…
A while after, the door to the emergency ward finally opened and Xi Xinyi was wheeled out from inside.
“How is it, Doctor? My daughter, how is she?”
“How’s Xinyi? Doctor?”
Yue Lingsi and Huang Ziyao went up together.
The doctor pushed his mask down and looked at Xi Xinyi who was still unconscious on the sick bed. He responded with a heavy tone, “She’s a little weak. Her fetus isn’t very stable. Trigger her less and take care of her well. Make sure she has a balanced diet and keep her happy.”
“Thank you, Doctor. We will. Thank you!”
“I’ll prescribe some meds to stabilize the pregnancy. Later, the nurse will explain what needs to be taken note of. The patient needs to rest right now and she’s not very emotionally stable, so it’s best if she’s not disturbed now. Just leave one person to watch her.”
Soon, the entourage consisting of the doctor and the nurses sent Xi Xinyi to her ward while the few of them followed them.
As she watched Xi Xinyi who slept soundly on the sick bed, Yue Lingsi breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Huang Ziyao beside her and said, “Thankfully, it’s alright. Ziyao, you’re worn out from the day. Go home first. I can watch her. And, Mother, you should go home too. You’ve just recovered. It’s won’t do you any good to be tired out. It’s alright with just me here!”
Huang Ziyao glanced at Xi Xinyi on the sick bed, then nodded after thinking about it. “Okay then, I’ll go home first. I’ll explain what happened here to the elder. As for…”
“Ziyao, I’ll be sure to talk to Xinyi. No matter what, her heart is with Yifeng. If it weren’t for… Sigh, now that they’re already married and with a child, what else can they do? I hope that your family can…”
When she heard Yue Lingsi’s words, Huang Ziyao suppressed the heaviness in her heart with much effort. She responded helplessly, “I got it. I’ll do my best. I’ll leave things here to you then.”
Then, she turned to leave.
Apart from Xi Xinyi on the sick bed, only Yue Lingsi and Deng Wenwen remained in the ward.
When she saw Huang Ziyao turn to leave with an odd expression, Yue Lingsi’s heart sank. She quickly turned to look at Deng Wenwen, who looked pensive, and asked a little anxiously, “Mother, what should we do? I’m afraid that on the Han family’s end…”
“What are you worried about? No matter what, Xin Er still has Yifeng’s child right now and they just got married!”
Deng Wenwen was rather calm now, her sharp eyes twinkling. Then, she continued, “Regardless, I still believe that Yifeng and Xin Er still have feelings for each other. Otherwise, Yifeng wouldn’t have signed the papers so quickly. We’ll wait and see.”
“Mmm, we can only do that now! Alright, Mother, go home first. It’s already very late. Just leave things here to me. Right, about tonight, can we not tell Mushan?” Yue Lingsi looked worriedly at Deng Wenwen.
“Mmm, I know what to do. Quickly settle the thing I told you to do,” Deng Wenwen responded and left the ward.
When the door shut, Yue Lingsi relaxed a little. She took a deep breath and turned to look at Xi Xinyi who lay on the sick bed. Upon seeing that she slept rather soundly, her tensed heart then eased.
She thought to herself that the fate of her and her daughter seemed to be extraordinarily similar. Many years ago, she had been deeply in love with Xi Mushan. Because of him, she had also been in so much pain that she wanted to die. To get Xi Mushan, she did not spare using all sorts of tricks, forcing Shen Wenna to let go.
However, many years later, her daughter fancied Shen Wenna’s daughter’s fiancè, and she also did not spare using tricks to win Han Yifeng’s heart.
In fact, now Han Yifeng and Xinyi were already married. Furthermore, Xinyi was carrying Han Yifeng’s child too.
When she thought about this, Yue Lingsi could not suppress the smugness in her.
Shen Wenna, oh Shen Wenna! So what if I couldn’t win Mushan’s heart? The person who can stand honorably by his side and be the Mayor’s wife is me. In fact, didn’t your daughter completely lose to my daughter?
Now, no matter what, Xi Xinyi was the Han family’s young lady of the house. This was a fact set in stone. Even if all the scandals caused a larger ruckus, as long as her child could be healthily born, then all of those things would be irrelevant!
This child had come at the perfect time!
