"Xu Wanda, come out!"
After Yin Mohan left the Xu family, Xu Yunxi walked to the living room in anger and screamed at the second floor. Her delicately made-up face became distorted because of anger, and she kept shouting, "Xu Wanda, did you hear me? Come down quickly!"
Hearing the sound, Xu Wanda came down from the second floor. When she reached the stairs, she looked at her sister, who was filled with anger. She was already in a bad mood, and her face became even heavier.
She pursed her lips, walked downstairs slowly, looked at Xu Yunxi who was furious, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, what do you want from me?"
"What do I want to talk to you about?" Xu Yunxi sneered, stretched out his arm and tightly grasped Xu Wanda's wrist, cursing, "You girl, you actually dared to destroy the relationship between me and Mo Han, do you want to die?"
"No, it hurts!" Xu Wanda was in so much pain that tears were about to fall out. No matter how she dodged, Xu Yunxi always found a way to hurt her.
"Xu Yunxi, what are you doing?"
Xu Haotang, looking haggard, walked in from outside. Upon seeing this scene, his face immediately darkened. He coughed twice and said sternly, "Can't you talk it out nicely? Let your sister go!"
Xu Yunxi reluctantly let go of Xu Wanda, but his eyes were still glaring at her fiercely.
Xu Haotang glanced at his two daughters and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xu Wanda knew that her father was in poor health and didn't want him to worry about such a small matter, so she wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter. She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but Xu Yunxi beat her to the punch and said, "She ruined the relationship between me and my boyfriend! My boyfriend and I were about to get engaged! It was ruined by her!"
Xu Wanda looked at her sister in shock. The word "engagement" was like a bomb that blew her heart to pieces!
Xu Haotang coughed a few times and said firmly in a low voice: "I absolutely believe in Wanda. She will never destroy your happiness!"
Xu Yunxi stared at her father intently, with a trace of sharp hatred gradually revealing in her eyes. She sneered: "Of course you believe her, because she is your biological daughter, and I am not! You have never regarded me as your biological daughter!"
"Sister, stop talking!" Xu Wanda immediately spoke out to dissuade her sister, then looked at her father with horror and worry.
As expected, Xu Haotang was so angry that all the blood in his body rushed to his head. His eyes went dark and his legs and feet began to tremble. He pointed at Xu Yunxi and said angrily, "You, you say it again!"
Xu Yunxi raised his chin and said sharply, "I have followed your surname Xu for more than ten years, and called you dad for more than ten years, but you are not worthy of being my dad. Because in your eyes, I am no match for your biological daughter!"
After she finished speaking, Xu Haotang's face was completely bloodless, veins on his forehead were exposed, and his angry eyes were getting bigger and bigger. He pointed at Xu Yunxi's face tremblingly and said angrily: "You, you——"
Before he could finish his words, his body shook violently several times!
Xu Wanda felt something was wrong, and immediately went forward nervously to support Xu Haotang's body. At that moment, his body seemed to be suddenly anesthetized. With a sharp tremor, his eyes were stiffly opened wide, and then he fell straight backwards -
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Dad!" Xu Wanda called out in panic. She clearly felt the weight of her father's entire body pressing on her, but her slender arms could not support his burly body at all. In the end, she was forced to half-kneel on the ground by his heavy body.
"Dad! What's wrong with you? Please don't scare Wanda, okay?" Xu Wanda hugged her stiff father tremblingly. She was extremely scared and tears welled up in her eyes.
Xu Yunxi stood there in a daze, feeling a little overwhelmed.
Xu Wanda raised her head, looked at her with tearful eyes, and said anxiously: "Sister, why are you still standing there? Call an ambulance, quickly!"
Xu Yunxi nodded blankly, quickly took out his cell phone and dialed the emergency number...
night.
There was not a single star in the night sky above the hospital. There was only a thick, deep night that stretched to the invisible end.
There was only a desk lamp on in the ward, and the dim light illuminated the ward slightly.
Xu Haotang lay quietly on the hospital bed in a coma.
From the moment her father fainted, Xu Wanda's body was tense and even her breathing became cautious. An unprecedented fear followed her like a shadow.
She wrung out the clean towel and walked to the bedside. Seeing her father in a coma, her nose couldn't help but feel sore again. She forced back her tears, took the towel, and gently wiped his cheek...
She pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes always on her father, ignoring Xu Yunxi and her daughter who were standing beside her with complicated thoughts.
Xu Yunxi secretly pulled Li Xiaoyue's sleeve and whispered in her ear: "Mom, my feet are so sore and I'm so hungry..."
Li Xiaoyue patted her daughter's hand lovingly, then looked at Xu Wanda and cleared her throat: "Wanda, the hospital said your father won't wake up for a while, it's useless for us to stay here, why don't we go have dinner first."
"No, I want to stay here with my father." Xu Wanda replied lightly without raising her head. After putting down the towel, she was busy massaging her father's arm.
Li Xiaoyue curled her lips in disapproval and said, "Then your sister and I will go out to eat first, and I'll bring you some later."
After saying this, the mother and daughter left the ward.
The ward became even quieter.
Xu Wanda stood beside the bed, looking at her father's unconscious face, thinking of what the doctor said to her, her heart ached and panicked, and tears flowed out again uncontrollably.
——Mr. Xu has been suffering from high blood pressure for many years. This time he had a stroke due to excessive emotion. His life will not be in danger, but his limbs will lose mobility... As his family, you must take good care of his emotions and never let him get too excited again...
Although she knew that her father had always been in poor health and she had always been worried, she had never felt so desperate and helpless as she did now.
My father is in his prime, but he can no longer live a normal life. Why is God so unfair to him?
Who should be blamed for all this?
In a western restaurant near the hospital.
Xu Yunxi finished a large bowl of pasta in almost one breath, then took a sip of the orange juice beside him, licked his lips with satisfaction, and said, "Finally I'm full! I was really starving..."
Li Xiaoyue ate the food in front of her gracefully, and then said thoughtfully: "Your father's stroke this time is very serious. Our financial support has collapsed."
Xu Yunxi showed a trace of grievance on her face: "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make Dad have a stroke, I was just too angry at the time and said a few more words..."
Li Xiaoyue's eyes sparkled: "Now that things have come to this, it's useless to say these things. Besides, you can say these words in front of me, but don't be so stupid in front of others. You were not the only one there at the time. Wasn't that girl there too?"
"You want me to put the blame on Wanda?"
Li Xiaoyue glanced at her and said, "That's good to know."
Xu Yunxi nodded confidently.
"But..." Li Xiaoyue stopped what she was doing and thought seriously for a while before saying, "Maybe we should think about the issue of inheritance now..."
Xu Yunxi asked with interest: "Hehe, Mom, how much inheritance will I get?"
Li Xiaoyue put down the knife and fork in her hand, looked at her daughter lovingly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with mom here, your share of the inheritance will definitely not be less than that girl's!"
Xu Yunxi immediately smiled happily: "Thank you, Mom!"
For the next two days, Xu Wanda took care of her father in the hospital day and night.
The moment Xu Haotang woke up, she was filled with sadness and burst into tears.
On the contrary, the father, whose hands and feet were stiff, acted quite calm about his condition and even tried to comfort her with kind words.
It's all fate. If you can't change it, you can only adapt to it.
She gradually understood this truth, and then she tried hard to smile in front of her father, wanting to bring a ray of sunshine into his originally gloomy world.
That day, she finished reading a newspaper to Xu Haotang as usual, and he slowly fell asleep with a peaceful look on his face.
After she tucked him in, she quietly walked out of the ward and wandered aimlessly into the hospital garden.
Tassel trees can be seen everywhere in this city, and hospitals are no exception.
She walked slowly to a bench under the tassel tree and sat down wearily.
The sunlight fell in pieces, casting a shadow on the ground like a field of dancing stars.
Countless falling tassel flowers quietly surrounded her, and the light white petals bloomed with the last beautiful posture of their life, reflected in her clear pupils, and then fell silently to the ground and drifted away with the wind.
A helpless fate always brings unspeakable sadness.
She thought about her father's fate, and the grievances between her and her sister, her sister and Yin Mohan, Yin Mohan and brother Mingzhe...
A myriad of thoughts intertwined in her mind.
She huddled in the bench, her head slightly tilted against the back of the chair, and unconsciously closed her eyes...
She didn't know how long she slept on the bench.
It seemed as if she had just closed her eyes, but it also seemed as if several hours had passed. She did not sleep well, as all kinds of complicated dreams disturbed her.
Until a faint familiar smell surrounded her, as if in the endless darkness, a warm mist suddenly floated in, lingering around her body, and did not dissipate for a long time.
There seemed to be a warm hand gently caressing her skin...
The itchy feeling seems real and fake.
There was also a faint breath blowing on her face, and that breath slowly became hot, so strong!
She was shocked!
All the feelings of falling into the mist disappeared instantly, and she suddenly opened her eyes——
She saw a familiar handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes!
Exquisite and beautiful facial features, delicate wheat-colored skin, and a pair of eyes that are more charming than black gemstones, sparkling with tiny lights, just like the stars in the night sky.
She rarely saw his eyes so clear and bright. At this moment, there was only her in his eyes, without a trace of impurities.
But now, his slender fingers were gently inserted into her long hair, and his face was only one centimeter away from her!
She was startled, a little angry, and a little shy. She subconsciously shrank back and stared at him with wide eyes: "You, why are you here?"
"You will catch a cold if you sleep here." Yin Mohan's voice was as soft as mist.
She stared at him in amazement.
Sometimes, he really has an irresistible magic that makes people unable to extricate themselves once they fall into him!
This feeling is exactly what she fears the most!
A gleam of determination flashed in her eyes. She subconsciously stretched out her arms and pushed his overly close body away. There was a hint of anger in her voice: "Go away! Go away! You are not welcome here!"
Yin Mohan was forced to take two steps back. Facing her angry face, he couldn't help but said with a smile: "Of course I know I'm not welcome here. I'm not often hospitalized."
"Stop talking nonsense! I've told you that I hate you, why do you still appear in front of me!" She slightly frowned, stretched out her hands and pushed him hard a few times, "Go away, go away, go away!"
Yin Mohan remained motionless, looking at her softly: "My heart is here, where do you want me to go?"
Xu Wanda was startled, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a gentle light flashed in her eyes, but soon reason took over her mind again, and she looked at him steadily: "Xin, do you have a heart?"
Yin Mohan stared at her, held one of her hands, and slowly guided it to his chest, his voice so low that it sounded like a sigh: "My heart, can't you really feel it?"
His heart was beating clearly under her palm, and his eyes were so gentle that they seemed to melt her whole world.
However, reason once again brought her back to her senses.
She looked at him, clenched her hands into fists, and then slapped his chest hard: "I don't want to talk to you. Do you know that my dad had a stroke and can't move his limbs? If my sister hadn't quarreled with me because of you, my father wouldn't have come out to dissuade me, and he wouldn't have been so angry that he had a stroke! It's all because of you, all this is because of you!"
In addition to resentment, there seemed to be more grievance in her voice, and her almost choked voice revealed her discomfort and helplessness.
Yin Mohan let her punch him again and again, just looked at her deeply and said: "You blame me, but I am just an indirect person. Why don't you blame the person who really pissed off your father and caused him to have a stroke?"
Xu Wanda smiled sadly, tears welling up in her eyes like beads from a broken string. She said tremblingly, "Yes, I can't blame you at all, but I can't blame my sister even more. I can't blame anyone but myself..."
Yin Mohan's eyes revealed a light of heartache. He subconsciously grabbed her arm, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly and gently. "Okay, there's no point blaming anyone. Don't worry, I will find the best doctor to treat your father, find the best hospital, and let your father recover in the best medical environment."
"Let me go!" She subconsciously wanted to push him away, but he stubbornly held her tighter.
She struggled hard a few times under his restraints, but to no avail.
Slowly, she exhausted all the strength in her body, and finally she could only beat his chest weakly with her clenched fists.
She was clamped in his arms, a bitter taste welled up in her heart, her nose was sour, and she said with a choked voice, "You bad guy, I hate you, I hate you! I have never seen such a hateful person as you..."
Yin Mohan hugged her, his dark eyelashes trembling slightly, and said in a low voice: "Am I really that bad in your eyes?"
"You are in love with my sister and yet you come to mess with me. Is there anyone more hateful than you in the world?" Her voice became increasingly hoarse and weak.
"Wanda, I have my own difficulties. I know I hurt you." Yin Mohan's voice was sincere. "But please believe me, I treat you sincerely, just like you treat your brother Mingzhe."
Xu Wanda raised her head, her moist pupils gleaming softly as she looked at him in front of her, her thoughts complicated.
"I know you are Brother Mingzhe. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Yin Mohan turned his head away slightly, not daring to look her in the eyes.
"You want to take revenge on those who have hurt you, right?" Although there was doubt in Xu Wanda's tone, it sounded more like she was stating a fact.
A complex light flashed in Yin Mohan's dark eyes. He gently let go of her in his arms, looked at her tenderly and said, "Why don't we find a place to eat and talk at the same time."
"I don't want it." Xu Wanda rejected him instinctively without thinking.
Yin Mohan smiled and said calmly: "If you agree to have this meal with me, I will no longer date your sister and will not harass her again in the future."
Xu Wanda looked up at him in astonishment, unable to believe her ears...
Inside the warm and elegant restaurant.
The lilies by the window bloom beautifully, quietly emitting a faint fragrance.
Yin Mohan and Xu Wanda sat face to face.
The table was filled with all of the restaurant's signature dishes.
Xu Wanda sat upright on the chair, staring at the person opposite her motionlessly.
"The chef in this restaurant is best known for his boiled fish, and the spicy shrimp is also very delicious. These are your favorites, right?" Yin Mohan introduced to her with a smile.
Xu Wanda looked at him suspiciously: "How do you know what I love most?"
"As long as you care about someone, it's not difficult to understand everything about her." There was a hint of tenderness in Yin Mohan's eyes.
Xu Wanda's pale lips moved slightly, but before she could say what she wanted to say, she had lost the courage. She let out a light breath, lowered her head and began to eat.
Yin Mohan looked at her eating silently, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a charming and gentle curve.
He picked up a shrimp and put it in his bowl, peeled it carefully, and then put the whole shrimp meat into her bowl.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Xu Wanda looked up in surprise. When she met his gentle gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly. She immediately lowered her head and picked up the shrimp he had just peeled and ate it.
The warm sunlight poured in from the window, as if reflected in Yin Mohan's smile.
He continued to put the fish meat with the bones picked out into her bowl, occasionally picking up a tissue to gently wipe the oil stains from the corners of her mouth.
She was a little uncomfortable, her movements froze, and a faint light flashed under her thick eyelashes.
At this moment, there is an indescribable warm atmosphere.
It's almost easy to forget that this is a dinner in exchange for a deal.
After Xu Wanda ate the piece of fish he had just given her, she looked up at him and asked, "Why don't you eat it?"
Yin Mohan smiled softly: "Just watch you eat."
Xu Wanda was in a trance for a moment, with complicated emotions welling up in her heart, and then she looked at him steadily: "Since you can let my sister go, can you completely let yourself go?"
Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, Yin Mohan was stunned for a moment, then put down the chopsticks in his hand, staring at her with a smile on his face: "Why do you say that?"
Xu Wanda took a deep breath, a gentle look appeared on her face, and she looked at him seriously with clear eyes, "I know the pain in your heart, and I also know that those people have done many things to hurt you and make you feel humiliated. They are indeed wrong, but the person who should execute them should not be you. You don't deserve to be stained with blood for them!"
Yin Mohan clasped his fingers tightly together, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, his pupils were dark, and his voice was full of solemnity: "If I don't do some things, then I will feel that my existence now has no meaning."
"How can it be meaningless?" Xu Wanda's eyes flashed with anxiety, and she said anxiously, "There are people around you who love and care about you..."
She was halfway through her words when she seemed to suddenly realize that she had leaked something, and immediately shut her mouth, looking at him with some nervousness and anxiety.
Yin Mohan gently stretched out his arm, gently held one of her hands, and looked at her deeply: "You are right. Over the years, no matter what difficulties I encountered, especially when I was about to die, the only thing that kept me alive was a pure and kind little girl. As long as I thought of her lovely face, I seemed to have infinite strength and desperately escaped from the boundary of death..."
There was an indescribable emotion in his dark eyes. This uncontrollable emotion was so strong that it seemed to flow deeply from his eyes into her heart.
"I promised her that I would stay with her forever. Although we are separated temporarily, this promise has always been buried in my heart. I wonder... am I still qualified to fulfill it?"
Xu Wanda froze in shock!
She stared at him intently.
There seemed to be water light trembling in the clear and bright pupils, and all kinds of touching and sad emotions were surging in the heart. The nose could not help but feel sore and there was an urge to cry.
It turns out that he still remembers all of this!
It turns out that she was not the only one who had stubbornly remembered that promise all these years!
No matter what he becomes, he is still her wise brother, right?
She pursed her lips and subconsciously lowered her eyes to hide the emotions surging in her heart, and pondered for a long time.
When she raised her bright and moving eyes and finally mustered up the courage to answer him——
A figure in a sky blue dress appeared at their table.
Yin Mohan and Xu Wanda looked over at the same time, only to see Lan Xinyu looking at them with a smile on her face, "Hello, what a coincidence! I actually met you here! Momo, you are so stupid, you didn't even call me when you came here to eat!"
Yin Mohan naturally let go of Xu Wanda's hand, then smiled and said, "You can't blame me for this. How would I know if you, a big star, would be free to come here for lunch today?"
"I'm just kidding!" Lan Xinyu smiled, then looked at Xu Wanda meaningfully, "Ms. Xu, long time no see."
Xu Wanda smiled and nodded to her as a greeting.
What impressed her most about Lan Xinyu was her superb acting skills at the school anniversary dance last time. Now it seems that she and Yin Mohan are really in cahoots.
Lan Xinyu sat down on an empty chair nearby, glanced at the two people sitting opposite her, and seemed to have understood something in her heart. She blinked at Yin Mohan and said, "She is the girl you often mentioned to me before, right?"
Yin Mohan smiled slightly, with a hint of sadness and solemnity in his smile.
Lan Xinyu smiled at Xu Wanda again, and said in a half-truthful tone: "I know you have a very important key. I really hope I can borrow it from you."
Xu Wanda's face stiffened slightly, and there was some confusion in her eyes at first. Then, as if she thought of something, she subconsciously touched the key that she had carried with her since she was a child, and looked dimly at Yin Mohan opposite her.
"What a pity..." Lan Xinyu smiled helplessly and sighed, "This should be the only thing in the world that I can't borrow."
Xu Wanda looked at her deeply and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sincere to Brother Shidong?"
Lan Xinyu suppressed the smile on her face and fell silent.
"I knew that everything was planned by you." Xu Wanda's expression immediately darkened.
Yin Mohan's gentle eyes flowed across her face, and he said sincerely: "Wanda, you don't have to think so much. I promise you that I won't let my hands be stained with blood. I just want to take back what belongs to me."
The sun quietly poured in from the window, casting a soft glow on her face. She stared at him quietly, with a feeling spreading uncontrollably in her heart...
It was around three o'clock in the afternoon when Xu Wanda returned to the hospital.
Yin Mohan sent her back to the hospital. They walked in silence all the way, but there was an indescribable ambiguous atmosphere flowing quietly between them.
As soon as she entered the hospital lobby, she saw a nurse she knew running towards her and said urgently, "Oh no, Miss Xu, you're finally back. Your mother and sister are arguing with your father!"
When Xu Wanda heard this, her face turned pale and she hurriedly ran towards the ward where her father was, and Yin Mohan followed her.
Before entering the ward, Xu Wanda heard Li Xiaoyue's sharp voice: "You damn old man, you actually gave half of the inheritance to your daughter and only left half for me and Yunxi. How are you going to let us live in the future?"
Xu Haotang said with great difficulty: "You, you guys..."
Seeing that he couldn't say a word for a long time, Li Xiaoyue interrupted him impatiently: "I'm telling you, if you don't change the will for me today, I, Li Xiaoyue, will never let you go, you conscienceless person..."
Xu Wanda stood outside the door for a while, her heart clenched tightly. She couldn't bear to listen any longer.
Pushing the door of the ward open, she looked coldly at the two women in the ward and said with a hint of anger in her voice, "Stop arguing with Dad. Just take whatever inheritance you want. I won't fight with you for a penny!"
"You said it, don't regret it when the time comes!" Li Xiaoyue crossed her arms and glanced at her sideways.
Xu Wanda looked at her seriously, and said firmly: "I won't regret it, but please give dad a quiet recuperation environment in the future, okay?"
While Xu Wanda was talking to Li Xiaoyue, Xu Yunxi, who was standing by, saw Yin Mohan coming in. She immediately showed anger in her eyes and asked sharply, "Mohan, why are you with this girl? Where did you go just now? Did you do anything to offend me?"
Yin Mohan's sexy lips curled up in a cold arc. He looked at Xu Yunxi, who was furious, indifferently, and there was no emotion in his voice: "We did what we should and shouldn't do, but it seems to be none of your business."
"What do you mean?" Xu Yunxi stared at him with eyes wide open, his voice filled with uncontrollable anger. "What do you mean it's none of my business? What did you do with this girl?"
Xu Wanda felt something was wrong and opened her mouth to speak, but Yin Mohan spoke before her: "Don't you understand?" He looked at Xu Yunxi expressionlessly, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his dark pupils. "It's none of your business, which means we have nothing to do with each other."
Xu Yunxi looked at him in shock. She was stunned for a moment, then she screamed in disbelief and said, "Are you going to break up with me? You went out with her for a while, and now you want to break up with me? Yin Mohan, how could you do this to me!"
"You should be thankful, this is actually the best outcome for you." Yin Mohan's voice was as cold as the black ice in the Arctic, and a hint of cold light flashed in his dark pupils.
Xu Yunxi's chest was heaving violently, but she couldn't say a word to Yin Mohan. She shifted her angry gaze to Xu Wanda.
Xu Wanda stared at her in a daze and took a step back unconsciously.
Xu Yunxi's entire body was ablaze with anger. She couldn't control her emotions at all. She rushed forward to grab Xu Wanda, cursing angrily, "You damn girl, you actually dared to seduce my boyfriend! You vixen!"
Yin Mohan immediately stepped forward, stopped her crazy behavior, and shouted angrily: "Xu Yunxi, let Wanda go!"
He pushed Xu Yunxi away from Xu Wanda with force, then glared at her: "I advise you to part ways amicably. You have gained a lot during this period of time!"
"I don't want it, I don't want it! Originally, everything of you belonged to me, but it's all because of her!" Xu Yunxi shouted angrily, picked up a vase and threw it at Xu Wanda!
“Wanda——”
There was a flash of fear in Yin Mohan's eyes. At the critical moment, he instinctively stepped forward, opened his arms and hugged Xu Wanda's petite figure in his arms.
Then——
The vase flying from the sky hit him hard on the head!
With a "bang", the vase broke into pieces. The sunlight slanting in from the window sprinkled on the fragments on the ground, reflecting a cold light.
Yin Mohan let out a painful "ugh".
Sharp pain spread from the back of his head, bright red blood quickly overflowed from the wound, and his handsome face turned pale in an instant, but he bit his lips to endure the intense pain, and large drops of cold sweat overflowed from his forehead.
Xu Wanda, who was tightly hugged by Yin Mohan, opened her eyes wide in horror and her face turned pale with fright. She opened her mouth tremblingly, but was choked with sobs and could hardly speak.
Hot tears suddenly burst out of my eyes!
With her eyes blurred by tears, she could hardly see his appearance, but the worry and discomfort in her heart almost suffocated her!
Yin Mohan endured the pain and used all his strength to hug her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body and never separate!
He panted, lowered his head with difficulty and gently kissed her cheek. His sexy lips barely raised a gentle arc, and whispered in her ear: "I'm fine, don't worry."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the boundless darkness instantly swallowed up all his consciousness. As soon as he closed his eyes, his entire body lost control and fell to the cold ground beside him...
