"Xiao Hui!"
Just as the thermos was about to hit Tian Xiaohui, she was not one to be trifled with. Her eyes turned cold, she clenched her fist, and delivered a heavy blow to meet the flying thermos!
Bang!
The thermos was punched and sent flying, hurtling towards the wall. With a crack, the inner liner shattered and fell to the ground inside the thermos's metal casing, the glass shards inside making a rattling sound and scattering a lot of fine fragments.
"You think you can bully me with just a few of you?"
Tian Xiaohui pulled out the metal pole next to Xing Yujie's IV drip bottle, held it in front of her, and glared at Xing Yujie with sharp eyes.
"Xing Yujie, I originally wanted to part ways amicably with you. After all, we were good friends for a while, and I didn't want it to end in ambiguity. But are you sure you want to watch your mother and sister bully me like this?!"
How could that be!
Xing Yujie would never harm Tian Xiaohui. He wanted to help her, but he was too weak to do so. Overwhelmed with anger, he couldn't help but cough.
The more anxious you are, the less you can say.
Instead, Xing's mother stamped her foot and took the initiative to attack: "Xiao Jie, you better see this clearly today. This brat no longer cares about you. If you don't seize this opportunity with me and your sister, you'll never have another chance in your life!"
What's the most important thing these days?
It's about reputation!
If Tian Xiaohui is ruined here today, even if her son gains the slightest advantage, she will never be able to marry again and will only be able to marry into the Xing family!
Once Tian Xiaohui marries into the Xing family, what do they have to fear?
Everything that Ye Yun took from the Xing family—her job, her husband's career—must be returned to them.
"Mom! What exactly do you want?!"
Xing Yujie looked on with grief and indignation, clutching his chest as he glared at his mother, who was speaking sternly. He spoke with all his might, almost using every last bit of strength to finish his sentence.
Upon hearing this, Xing's mother...
"You ungrateful wretch!"
He pointed at Xing Yujie's face, blocking the doorway, and said angrily, "Can't you use your brain? Our whole family's hopes are on her now, what are you thinking! Isn't Mom doing all this for your own good! How many more years can your father and I live? Isn't it all for your future? Why can't you understand!"
Xing Yujie is going crazy.
The physical limits and the mental torment he endured made him dizzy. His heavy breathing was so clear. He stared motionlessly at his mother opposite him, wishing he could just faint.
"let her go!"
He didn't know where the strength came from, but he stood up, straightened his back, and walked step by step toward the guarded Tian Xiaohui in a protective posture.
Tian Xiaohui was clearly taken aback.
Seeing Xing Yujie approach her, she noticeably tightened her grip on my hand and became even more wary.
Xing Yujie smiled helplessly.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." His voice was low, and his eyes held a hint of disappointment.
He probably never imagined that he and Tian Xiaohui would end up like this, that the girl he wanted to marry would one day be staring at him with wary eyes.
"What are you doing, Xiao Jie!"
Xing Yuzhen shouted angrily and rushed over, grabbing Xing Yujie's arm.
"Do you know that Mom has done all this for our family? You can't ruin our whole family because of your own selfish desires! You were the one who brought her home in the first place, and now you're the one making her leave. What do you take our family for?"
However, Xing Yujie pushed her away.
"Get away!"
The force was so great that it pushed Xing Yuzhen aside in one go.
"Yuzhen!" Xing's mother was startled and quickly went to help Xing Yuzhen up.
Xing Yuzhen was pushed and bumped into a table, hitting her lower back. The pain was so intense that her face was almost contorted. She glared at Xing Yujie, who was protecting Tian Xiaohui, with resentment.
That good-for-nothing younger brother of hers!
"Thank you."
While Xing Yuzhen and her mother were in a state of confusion, Tian Xiaohui thanked Xing Yujie and walked outside with the iron bar in her hand.
Xing Yujie shook his head and smiled.
That laugh was full of self-mockery, and then he followed behind Tian Xiaohui, preparing to escort her away.
Seeing this, Xing's mother, who was supporting Xing Yuzhen, threw Xing Yuzhen aside and blocked Tian Xiaohui's way again without saying a word, her back pressed firmly against the ward door.
"Xiao Jie! I won't allow you to send her away! You must listen to me today!"
"Mom, are you going to say again that this is all for my own good?" Xing Yujie scoffed, looking at his mother with eyes that seemed to regard her as a complete stranger. "From childhood to adulthood, when have you ever cared about me? Now that I'm getting married, you jump out and give me all the advice, controlling my right to choose. You keep saying that staying together is for my own good, but think about it carefully, which of your decisions has truly been for my own good!"
The sudden increase in voice shocked Xing's mother.
The family has always prioritized filial piety, and neither Xing Yujie nor Xing Yuzhen dared to raise their voices at the couple.
But today, even though Xing Yujie is seriously ill, he still yells at her for the sake of an outsider?
Xing's mother gritted her teeth in anger and stared intently at Xing Yujie, saying, "Xiao Jie, no matter what you say today, you have to listen to me!"
"I won't listen!"
Xing Yujie grabbed Tian Xiaohui's hand, as if making a firm decision and declaring his intention, and tightly protected Tian Xiaohui behind him.
He pointed to the ward door behind Xing's mother and commanded, word by word, "Mom, move aside!"
"Impossible, you unfilial son!"
At this moment, Xing's mother only wanted to compete with Xing Yujie. How could she, as a mother, admit defeat in front of her own son? Otherwise, she would lose all her authority!
Xing Yuzhen hid behind, rubbing her lower back and staring blankly at the scene before her.
Fortunately, her in-laws took the child back earlier; otherwise, after experiencing this scene and the commotion, wouldn't the child have been frightened and cried loudly?
Not to mention the child, she also wanted to escape.
Having lived with her younger brother for so many years, this was the first time she had ever seen him throw such a tantrum.
"Xiao Jie, how could you talk to your mother like that..." Xing Yuzhen, enduring the pain in her lower back, accused Xing Yujie.
Xing Yujie sneered.
He didn't answer Xing Yuzhen's question at all, but looked at Xing's mother, shook his head and gave a bitter smile.
"Mom, you can't control me. From today onwards, I am no longer the child you can control. I am an adult now, I have my own thoughts, and you can't control me anymore!"
After saying that, he reached out and pushed Xing's mother away.
Despite being so seriously ill, he was still incredibly strong, and Xing's mother was pushed aside without any chance to refuse.
This...this...
Looking at her son's indifferent expression, Xing's mother was speechless. She opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak, unable to believe that this was the son she had raised to be so obedient since childhood.
thump!
Just as Xing Yujie was holding Tian Xiaohui's wrist with one hand and touching the door latch with the other, intending to leave with Tian Xiaohui, someone suddenly grabbed his hospital gown and knelt heavily behind him...
