Chapter 997 You'll Never Imagine
Shen Congrong recounted the details of what happened that day. "I begged them so much to let me take your mother to the hospital, but what about them? They just watched your mother get into trouble and even knocked me unconscious! When I woke up, she was already in the castle. Wei Wushuang said it was only temporary and told me to stay calm, and that he would find a way to get us out! She was the only one who could move in the castle at that time. Although the atmosphere between her and Tan Xiangyun was strange, it was obvious that Tan Xiangyun hated her especially. To be honest, I now suspect that she and Tan Xiangyun are actually in cahoots!"
The last sentence was obviously said in anger, but Lu Xi still noticed something strange. "You mean, Tan Xiangyun didn't restrict Wei Wushuang's freedom?"
Shen Congrong uttered a heavy “hmm” and vented his anger with a gloomy face, “Wei Wushuang kept saying that he would rescue me and your mother, but what happened?”
Lu Xi thought about it and comforted him, "Maybe she has no chance. Dad, don't blame her for now. It's not worth it to make yourself so angry. If she was really in cahoots with Tan Xiangyun, she wouldn't be tortured like this."
Shen Congrong understood everything. He was just too angry. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you and Nanzhou go back too. I'll stay here with your mother. If your mother still doesn't wake up after two more days of observation, I'll take her home. Living here makes me feel uncomfortable, as if your mother is dying."
After Shen Congrong finished speaking, he looked at his wife with heartache. It felt like his heart was pierced with dense needles. It was painful and at the same time, he felt blocked.
Lu Xi nodded, "Yeah, I understand."
She and Fu Nanzhou looked at each other without saying much. Before leaving, she told the bodyguard to be careful.
Wei Zheng, who was sitting next to him, felt uncomfortable after hearing this. "What kind of talk is this? Why is there such a big fuss? Who are we? Enemies? Can we harm her?"
Wei Wushuang smiled sadly, "Dad, don't blame Congrong for now. I was the one who wronged Tongtong first, so it's only natural that he hates me."
"Can you be blamed for that? Tan Xiangyun threatened you with Xizhou at that time, what could you do? You are a mother, how can a mother not love her child and worry about her child? Shen Congrong didn't even think about how difficult it was for you. On one side is your sister, and on the other side is your biological son, so the child must be given priority. Doesn't he understand this? If it were him, if Tan Xiangyun captured Lu Xi, do you think he, Shen Congrong, would betray you for Lu Xi!"
Wei Zheng spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, as if all this was as it should be, but he did not think from Wei Yutong's perspective.
Wei Wushuang didn't say anything. He covered his chest and coughed twice, then said weakly, "Mom and Dad, I'm very tired. Let me sleep for a while."
Wei Zheng quickly supported her, "Hurry up and lie down. You are not in good health. Don't get up and toss around. From now on, your vicious sister will not harm you. You don't have to be afraid of anything. Dad will always be by your side and will protect you with his life."
Wei Wushuang looked dazed. The words "Dad will always be with you" and "I will protect you with my life" were so touching and yet so heartbreaking. Her heart ached so much, as if someone was torturing her heart with a knife!
When Lu Xi and the others came out, they happened to hear Wei Zheng's words.
It wasn't because the ward had poor soundproofing, but because the door of the ward was not closed at all, and Wei Zheng had a loud voice, so perhaps he had no intention of being discreet.
Lu Xi laughed sarcastically and walked to the door angrily, "You are old and weak, you might even fall down when you walk, can you protect your aunt?"
Wei Zheng was furious. "What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything. I did it for your own good. I didn't protect my daughter well more than 30 years ago, so don't brag about it now. When my mother talked about my grandparents before, I thought they were such good old men and women, and whether they were the same as my grandparents. But now my eyes have been opened. You are not even as good as my grandparents' fingers."
Wei Zheng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and fell on the table with a bang, "Do you still have manners? Is this what your mother taught you?"
Lu Xi sneered, "My mother didn't teach you, I awakened on my own. I actually want to ask you, since you like my aunt so much, and only my aunt, then why did you give birth to my mother?
"After my aunt died, you blamed my mom. She was imprisoned and tortured by Fu Heng, but you turned a blind eye to her as if she were dead. It seems like she went to the underworld to enjoy her old age. How come when I told you that my aunt is alive, you pretended to be dead and suddenly flipped over the coffin and jumped out of it?"
"You...you..." Wei Zheng was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils and he almost passed out.
Old Madam Wei also widened her eyes in anger. She never dreamed that Lu Xi could say such outrageous words. Wasn't this a curse to them to death?
Lu Xi rolled her eyes coldly, without even paying attention to them, and pulled Fu Nanzhou away. However, as soon as she entered the elevator, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved and her eyes turned red.
"It's too much, I hate them!"
Fu Nanzhou knew that Lu Xi was worried about his mother-in-law. He wanted to hug her and comfort her, but he was holding the baby in his arms, so he could only turn sideways and kiss her cheek, "Don't be angry, let's be filial to mom first in the future."
Lu Xi now understood why her grandparents were so nice to her mother. They really treated her like their own daughter. Wasn’t it because they loved her mother?
It’s also thanks to her mother that she met her father and has good in-laws, otherwise her life would have been so suffocating.
The couple left, and as soon as they came out of the inpatient department, Pei Shaoqing and Qin Xiaoru came towards them holding flowers.
"Xixi, you're discharged from the hospital, congratulations. I didn't even come to see you when you gave birth to your baby." Qin Xiaoru's round face was full of apology.
Lu Xi quickly suppressed her emotions and forced a smile, "It's okay, Sister Xiaoru."
Qin Xiaoru looked at Jiabao with fondness, her big eyes twinkling, "Can I hug you? I love human cubs. If I could skip the father and have a little baby like this, I would be so happy."
Lu Xi chuckled, looked at Pei Shaoqing with some sympathy, took the child from Fu Nanzhou's arms, and carefully placed him in Qin Xiaoru's arms.
Qin Xiaoru lowered her head, her heart melting, "My God, she's so white and tender, can I have a bite?"
Lu Xi laughed and cried, "No, that's not edible."
"Ah, Xixi, I like her so much. How come her eyelashes are so long and dense? Her eyes are so big and her hair is so abundant. She has completely inherited your beauty."
Qin Xiaoru was chattering away. She was really melted by the cuteness of little Jiabao and wanted to take him home to raise him herself.
The two girls were in front, surrounded by bodyguards, while Fu Nanzhou and Pei Shaoqing were walking behind.
Pei Shaoqing said: "I found a new clue, are you interested?"
Fu Nanzhou raised his eyebrows, "Hurry up and tell me, stop keeping me in suspense."
Pei Shaoqing grinned, "You'd never guess it."
Fu Nanzhou snorted and laughed, "Then I'd better take a closer look to see what it is that I can't imagine!"
