Chapter 31 Chapter 31 "Yao Yingxia, look at what you have done...

When Shen Xingchuan walked in, he just heard the last sentence.

He closed the door and stood there looking at his brother from a distance. Shen Changhe also looked up at him. Both of them had expressionless faces and neither of them was willing to admit defeat.

Shen Xingchuan vaguely knew how his sister-in-law died. He rushed over immediately after receiving the news of Xu Nian's miscarriage. He couldn't imagine how desperate Yao Yingxia would be if his elder brother really wanted to kill Xu Nian.

But from what he said just now, it seemed that he wanted to kill Yao Yingxia even more. Shen Xingchuan recalled the day she was kidnapped. His elder brother had been like that too. He knew his intentions but had never thought of informing him.

The two of them stood in a long standoff until Xu Nian spoke weakly, "This is indeed your child. I haven't been with anyone else."

Shen Changhe hated her for daring to quibble at a time like this, and wanted to reach out and torture her. Xu Nian closed her eyes in fear, but the pain she imagined did not come. A very firm voice came to her ears, saying, "Sister-in-law is not that kind of person."

Hearing him say this, Xu Nian almost burst into tears. She opened her eyes and saw Shen Xingchuan grabbing Shen Changhe's arm to stop his violence.

It turned out that the person who had been sleeping beside her day and night didn't understand her as well as Shen Xingchuan, whom she had only met a few times. Xu Nian was completely disheartened.

Shen Changhe looked at his brother coldly: "Xiaochuan, what position do you have to say this to me now?"

Shen Xingchuan didn't want to argue with him, so he offered a solution: "Brother, if you don't believe me, you can get a DNA test. The results won't lie."

Shen Changhe hesitated for a moment, then stared at him closely: "I don't want you to do anything about this."

Shen Xingchuan said calmly, "You can always send the case to more hospitals, both domestically and internationally. I can't just cover up everything."

Hearing him say this, Shen Changhe suddenly looked back at Xu Nian, only to see her lying there breathless, not showing any worry at all about the truth being exposed, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

Is she really pregnant with his child?

When Shen Changhe was young, he wanted to have a child of his own very much. He tried many methods, but none of them could break through the medical barriers. Gradually, he gave up hope and just raised his younger brother as his own child.

But now he seemed to see hope, and then fell into deeper despair.

He actually killed his own child with his own hands?

His and Xu Nian’s child?

Shen Changhe felt a long-lost heartache, but he did not immediately let go of his doubts. Everything still had to wait for the test report to come back.

After Shen Xingchuan dealt with the emergency here, he stood in the hospital corridor for a while. He didn't want to look for Yao Yingxia at this time. Thinking of how she called him "uncle" last night, Shen Xingchuan felt depressed. He originally thought that he had saved her from danger again, and his niece would at least feel grateful, even if she would not be closer to him, but the result would not be like this.

Shen Xingchuan felt he desperately needed to find a place to calm down, but his feet felt rooted to the hospital, and he finally made his way to Yao Yingxia's ward. Wasn't she eager to draw a line between them? He refused to let her have her way.

Shen Xingchuan pushed the door open and was extremely upset by the scene in front of him. He saw Shen Qingyuan sitting next to Yao Yingxia, explaining a problem to her with great concentration. The table in front of them was so small that the two of them were almost touching each other.

Shen Xingchuan walked over without any emotion and sat on the chair next to the bed. Yao Yingxia saw him coming out of the corner of her eye, but didn't react. She still lowered her head and listened to Shen Qingyuan's lecture.

But before she finished explaining the question, Shen Xingchuan reached out and snatched the test paper from her. He ignored the two glances directed at him, glanced at her a few times, and then snatched the pen from Shen Qingyuan's hand. Next to the question he had just explained, he wrote down a new solution. Then he sat down on the other side of Yao Yingxia's bed and showed it to her: "I have the best solution here."

It happened that the nurse was making rounds at this time. When she entered the room, she saw Yao Yingxia sitting blankly on the bed, sandwiched between two people: one was a teenager in a hospital gown, and the other was a handsome young man in casual clothes.

Yao Yingxia seemed to be kidnapped, and she sent a distress signal to the nurse with her eyes, but the nurse only said, "Sorry to bother you, I'll come back later," and left in a hurry, closing the door for them.

It was Shen Qingyuan who broke the silence first, saying calmly, "What suits Yingxia is the best. She doesn't need an optimal solution."

Shen Xingchuan smiled and said, "You have the best solution, but you choose the long way around?"

Shen Qingyuan had his reasons: "We can figure out the final answer anyway."

Shen Xingchuan seemed to turn around and look at her, because Yao Yingxia felt that his next words were almost whispered into her ear: "Why waste so much time?"

She finally couldn't stand it anymore and said to Shen Xingchuan, "Could you please stand up?"

Sure enough, his face darkened and he looked at her silently without saying anything, as if he was protesting silently. Why did she treat him differently? Why didn't she call Shen Qingyuan up?

Yao Yingxia had to point to the back of her hand, which was already bleeding: "You're sitting on my IV tube."

Shen Xingchuan: “…”

He stood up quickly, but held her hand again: "Is it okay?"

Yao Yingxia's hand was very cold. He was about to hold it tighter when she pulled it away: "Please call a nurse for me."

Shen Xingchuan only realized after he reached the door that he could ring the bell at the bedside. He clenched his hands, then unclenched them, and finally went to call the nurse, but he didn't return to the ward.

Half an hour later, someone in the ward brought a hot water bottle. She was stunned by the rabbit pattern on it.

She never saw Shen Xingchuan again until she was discharged from the hospital three days later.

The day after being discharged from the hospital, Yao Yingxia returned to school. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but there were more people watching her whispering in the school than on the day when the rumor about her being kept went viral. The moment Yao Yingxia entered the classroom, the originally noisy space instantly became silent. Gradually, some sounds were restored, but they were very harsh. She vaguely heard the names of He Ming, Qin Mian and others.

Yao Yingxia looked a little unhappy at the time. After He Ming disappeared that day, she never asked about He Ming's whereabouts, and no one mentioned it in front of her.

Jin Ruyi had visited Yao Yingxia in the hospital once and noticed that her deskmate's face was even paler now than it had been in the hospital. She handed Yao Yingxia a pair of brand new earplugs and asked, "Would you like to use them?"

It was hard to believe she was so considerate. Yao Yingxia plugged her ears after taking it, and then began to concentrate on memorizing English words.

But trouble can never be avoided.

During the break, Yao Yingxia was about to go to the playground when she was stopped by a girl. She slapped a newspaper in front of her and said in a choked voice, "Yao Yingxia, look at what you've done."

She heard a gasp behind her and someone whispered, "Isn't this Fan Xiangyang's girlfriend?"

Yao Yingxia looked at the newspaper and saw that the front-page headline was a police report that detailed what happened on the day she was kidnapped. Although their names were replaced by He, Fan, and Yao, how could people in the same school not know who those nicknames corresponded to?

She really didn't want to read even a single word about that day, but her eyes uncontrollably moved to the end, where it read: "After brutally murdering three classmates, He jumped from the factory roof and died instantly."
