Gentle and virtuous Song Yi harbors a secret: years ago, when she was desperate, she sought help from a man. She witnessed his wildness and endured his disdain.
She thought they would never m...
Chapter 273: The events of the past are exposed
273.
Song Yi's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
This was the second time Xu Rushuang had met with her alone. The last time she had a private conversation with her, her memory was not good, and the content of their conversation was not friendly.
Song Yi's intuition told him that the theme this time should not be much different from the last time.
Song Yi put the book on the windowsill, raised his head and looked at Xu Rushuang.
Unlike the nervousness and awkwardness last time, this time she behaved in a relaxed and natural manner.
"There are some things that Miss Xu doesn't need to discuss with me." Song Yi didn't specify the topic, but she believed that Xu Rushuang would understand as soon as she said this.
Xu Rushuang did understand, but did not give up the plan.
She got straight to the point: "Miki is in the hospital."
Song Yi frowned, even more confused.
Miki is in the hospital, why should we look for her? She is not a doctor.
"Fu Xijing doesn't plan to take care of her anymore. I haven't seen her in a while." Xu Rushuang continued, "Miki relies on him a lot. I don't know how to tell her about this."
Song Yi: "...So what is Miss Xu's purpose in looking for me?"
She didn't know how to tell Miki. Should she tell her? Song Yi couldn't understand the logic behind Xu Rushuang's behavior.
Xu Rushuang saw Song Yi's confused expression and gave a short laugh, which sounded a bit sarcastic at first.
Song Yi felt a little offended and his expression became even gloomier.
"Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?" Xu Rushuang asked Song Yi, "Fu Xijing made this decision because of you."
"Excuse me, what does this have to do with me?" Song Yi was made unable to maintain politeness by her.
Although she did have the idea of discussing this matter with Fu Xijing, she hadn't said anything yet. It was too outrageous for Xu Rushuang to put the blame on her.
"Ms. Xu, please resolve the matter between you and him yourselves. Don't drag me into it. I'm not interested." Song Yi suppressed his temper and responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Whether you admit it or not, he did this because of you," Xu Rushuang repeated. "He wanted to cut off all contact with me to prevent you from thinking too much, so he even ignored Miki."
Song Yi: "I didn't ask him to do that."
Xu Rushuang: "It's impossible for me to be with him. I admit that I am unwilling to let him go, but I also know what kind of person he is. Once he makes a decision, he won't look back."
"Miki is not in good health. She is used to being with Fu Xijing. Now Fu Xijing suddenly ignores her and she can't adapt. So I hope you can be patient for a while and wait for her to grow up a little bit——"
"Then you should go and tell him why you're looking for me?" Song Yi interrupted Xu Rushuang, "Ms. Xu, I can't control so much."
Xu Rushuang: "Because he listens to you."
Song Yi: "You think too highly of me. I have nothing to do with him. I can't control his affairs. Please leave."
Xu Rushuang: "He is pursuing you, isn't he?"
Song Yi: "If he's pursuing me, should I agree?"
Xu Rushuang stared into Song Yi's eyes: "So, you don't plan to agree?"
Song Yi did not answer, she felt she had no obligation to answer this question.
Xu Rushuang took her as her acquiescence and said, "Okay, since you don't intend to agree, just stop him from thinking about it. Thank you."
Song Yi really didn't like what Xu Rushuang said, as it was both an order and an offense.
"I never asked him to take care of Miki. He was the one who wanted to take care of her from the beginning. He brought Miki to North City first, and now that she has adapted to this kind of life, he has stopped caring about her. He never thought about the impact it would have on Miki."
"Ms. Xu." Song Yi took over her words, "Excuse me, you are not a competent mother. If it weren't for you, Miki's health wouldn't be so bad."
Song Yi didn't really want to judge Xu Rushuang's behavior. Her upbringing didn't allow her to interfere in other people's lives.
But today it was Xu Rushuang who offended first, so even though she knew she had no right to talk about it, she still spoke out.
Song Yi has always felt that compared to Xu Rushuang, Fu Xijing is more responsible and more concerned about Miki's planning - Miki is young, and whether from the perspective of physical condition or education, she should not be allowed to travel around the world.
It's understandable that Xu Rushuang is unwilling to give up her career, but she is quite irresponsible for constantly changing environments with Miki.
If it weren't for her, Fu Xijing wouldn't have brought Miki to Beicheng.
"If Miss Xu could give Miki a stable life, perhaps the current situation would be different." Song Yi finally gave Xu Rushuang face and didn't say it too directly.
But Xu Rushuang understood.
Her face turned pale and her expression suddenly became very ugly.
Because his pain point was touched, Xu Rushuang's words became unpleasant: "What a if."
"Since you like making assumptions so much, you should have thought about this. If I hadn't rejected him back then, he wouldn't have gone to Italy, and you wouldn't have been able to follow him."
Song Yi grabbed the blanket on his legs, his heartbeat quickened and his back felt cold.
After Xu Rushuang said this, Song Yi felt like something was blocking his throat and he couldn't make a sound.
The ward fell into silence and the atmosphere was tense.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly there was a sound of a door opening.
Song Yi came to his senses and looked up warily.
The door slowly opened.
She first saw Jiang Jiang sitting in a wheelchair, and then she saw Song Lansheng behind him.
Jiang Jiang had a stern expression, while Song Lansheng's face was pale and his eyes were red.
Song Yi's heart was in his throat, goose bumps appeared all over his body, and his right eyelid was twitching uncontrollably.
She didn't expect Xu Rushuang to come, and she didn't expect that after Xu Rushuang came, Song Lansheng and Jiang Jiang would follow.
How much...did they hear?
Song Yi tried to move his lips, wanting to call for help, but he couldn't find his voice at all.
Xu Rushuang also turned around and saw the two elders.
From the expressions of the two, Xu Rushuang guessed that they must have heard something.
Xu Rushuang was now much more sober and realized that what he had just said was offensive, so he said "sorry" to Song Yi.
"I was just too worried about Miki."
After Xu Rushuang apologized, he left the ward.
When she passed by Song Lansheng and Jiang Jiang, she bowed slightly as a greeting.
Jiang Jiang and Song Lansheng did not respond to her.
After Xu Rushuang left, the door of the ward closed again, leaving only the three of them.
Song Yi watched Song Lansheng and Jiang Jiang gradually approaching each other, their hands entangled together, and lowered his head slightly, like a child who had done something wrong.
"I finished my rehabilitation early today and came to see you with your mother." Jiang Jiang spoke slowly.
Song Yi buried her head even deeper in her head. She hadn't figured out how to tell them about this yet.
The current situation was too sudden. She was not mentally prepared at all. She did not expect that her "past" with Fu Xijing would be known to them in this way.
Song Lansheng was obviously not as patient as Jiang Jiang. "Xiaoyi, what did she mean by what she just said to you?"
Her voice was trembling slightly. "You and Xijing—did you know each other in Italy?"
Song Yi's body went limp and he leaned weakly in the wheelchair.
This question is tantamount to a verdict.
They did... hear it.
