Chapter 310 Affection Between Children and Parents
Shang Shiying jumped up from the stool in surprise: "You little brat, speak properly, what happened to your older brother?"
The little guy burst into tears, crying, "My older brother is covered in blood, he's going to die!"
Shang Shiying was so frightened her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She grabbed her youngest son's ear and asked, "Where is your older brother? How come he's covered in blood?"
"At the hospital, just now at the main entrance..."
Before her youngest son could finish speaking, Shang Shiying let go of his hand and ran outside, with Jiang Zhizhi quickly following after her.
The two ran to the emergency room of the hospital and saw that Song Man was also covered in blood, her face was pale, and her hands were trembling as she looked at the door of the resuscitation room.
Shang Shiying's mind went blank for a moment, and he stood there stunned, his body swaying slightly.
Jiang Zhizhi quickly reached out to support him, then looked at Song Man: "Sister Song Man, what happened? Is Brother Si Min inside?"
Song Man's eyes were brimming with tears, her hands were still trembling, and she spoke incoherently: "I... Si Min was stabbed several times in the back while trying to save me."
Upon hearing this, Shang Shiying's vision blurred and she nearly fainted.
Jiang Zhizhi quickly pinched her thumb and forefinger, trying to persuade her: "Auntie, calm down. Brother Simin will definitely be fine. He was rushed to the hospital and received timely treatment."
As he spoke, he dragged Shang Shiying to sit down on a nearby bench.
Shang Shiying's legs were so weak she could barely stand. Her heart was clenching with pain, and her mind was blank. She didn't know what to ask or what to say.
There wasn't even a tear.
Jiang Zhizhi reached out and patted her back: "Don't be afraid, don't worry, everything will be alright."
He looked at Song Man and asked, "Sister Song Man, where did the thugs come from? Where did the incident happen? Don't worry, tell me slowly."
Song Man closed her eyes, her mind filled with the image of Li Simin rushing in front of her and protecting her from being slashed: "He appeared out of nowhere, holding a wood-chopping knife and rushing over... He was coming for me, but Simin blocked my way."
Li Simin picked her up from get off work and accompanied her on a bike ride to the gate. She stopped her bike at the gate and rejected Li Simin once again.
She also said very seriously that Li Simin's actions were troubling her, and she hoped that Li Simin would not do such foolish things again in the future.
She also told Li Simin that she hoped she could call her "sister" in the future, and that they would always be friends, like siblings.
At that moment, Li Simin nodded dejectedly, but before he could speak, that person rushed out.
Before Song Man could react, Li Simin rushed over and shielded her tightly just as the knife was about to fall on her.
Fortunately, it was at the main gate, and the sentry heard the commotion and rushed over immediately, stopping the assailant. Even so, Li Simin still suffered three stab wounds to his back.
It was hot, and the clothes were thin, so you could see the flesh exposed.
She is now filled with regret; if she hadn't said those two words outside the gate, Li Simin wouldn't have been hurt.
Shang Shiying remained silent, her mind still blank. She dared not think about what would happen if something happened to her son, whom she had raised with such care.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't know what to say. Li Simin was willing to save people, so it wasn't Song Man's fault.
He held Shang Shiying's hand tightly, offering her silent comfort.
As soon as the emergency room door opened, Shang Shiying hurriedly stood up and nervously looked at the doctor who came out.
The doctors all knew the people in the compound. Looking at Shang Shiying, they said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Si Min is fine. The wound is a bit deep, but it's not fatal. He just lost a lot of blood, so he needs to take good care of himself when he gets back. Luckily, he was brought here in time because he was at the gate."
Shang Shiying clasped his hands together and kept repeating, "Thank God for protecting us, thank God for protecting us."
Upon hearing the news, Li Chengzhang rushed over. Before returning, he first went to see the criminals who had been apprehended.
She rushed over just then, put her hands on Shang Shiying's shoulders and said, "Don't be afraid, Si Min is alright."
Upon seeing her husband, Shang Shiying burst into tears, feeling wronged: "You scared me to death! How could I live if something happened to Si Min? How could thugs suddenly appear? And right at the gate of the compound, how could they be so brazen?"
Li Chengzhang glanced at Song Man, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with displeasure. He then looked away and gently patted Shang Shiying's shoulder: "It's alright, it's alright. Don't cry, or Si Min will worry."
Shang Shiying said aggrievedly, "How can I not cry? I was so scared. Xiao Wu said his older brother is dying, I really..."
Li Chengzhang put his arm around Shang Shiying's shoulder and whispered words of comfort and soothing.
Jiang Zhizhi took a few steps back and tugged at Song Man's hand: "Let's go wait over there first. Uncle Song and Aunt Song will definitely go to see Brother Simin first."
Song Man mechanically followed Jiang Zhizhi outside. Standing by the flower bed, looking at the blooming roses, she said regretfully, "Zhizhi, I really regret it. It's all my fault! Why did I have to stand at the front door and say those things to him?"
Jiang Zhizhi had already guessed what Song Man had said, and stared at her for a while: "Sister Song Man, don't you still have any feelings for Brother Si Min?"
This time, Song Man didn't shake her head directly. After hesitating and struggling for a while, she stammered, "I don't know. I know Si Min is a good person, but I don't know if we have a future..."
Jiang Zhizhi sighed: "Don't rush to think about it, don't rush to answer, and don't blindly agree to anything just because Brother Simin saved you."
"When it comes to relationships, you may be a great person, and he may be a great person, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're a good match."
"Why don't you go home and think about it carefully?"
Song Man hesitated for a moment: "I'm fine. I want to see if Si Min is alright before I leave."
Jiang Zhizhi stopped trying to persuade him, and sighed inwardly that this relationship might really be doomed.
Li Simin woke up quickly. Lying on the hospital bed, she looked at her father standing by the bed and her mother wiping away tears with a handkerchief, and felt a little guilty: "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry to have worried you."
Shang Shiying wiped away her tears: "You child, if something happens to you, do you want me to die? You're really... a grown man, are you still going to scare your mother to death?"
Li Chengzhang patted Shang Shiying on the shoulder and said gently, "Alright, alright, the child is fine now. Don't say such unlucky things."
Then he looked at Li Simin and said, "You did the right thing by saving people, but you should also act within your capabilities! Also... I hope you will think about something carefully and not take advantage of my kindness to seek repayment."
Li Simin frowned and pursed his lips: "Dad, I have no idea. Even if it were a stranger, I would still save him today."
Li Chengzhang was relieved: "Okay, but... a man shouldn't spend all his time on emotions. You are a man, and besides your love for your children, you also have the heavy responsibility of your family, country, and the world on your shoulders."
"Currently, the country's technology is lagging behind, and our generation is no longer capable of doing anything. We can only rely on your generation... Si Min, God has given you a brilliant mind, and I hope you can use it for something more useful."
