"Xiao Jie, please, don't take her away. My hopes for the rest of my life rest on you and her..." Xing's mother tugged at Xing Yujie's clothes, her eyes red with tears.
Xing Yujie was slightly taken aback.
Xing Yuzhen was also startled and quickly ran over, grabbing Xing's mother's arm to help her up.
"Mom! What are you doing? How can you kneel down in front of your own son!"
However, Xing's mother pushed Xing Yuzhen away, her wrinkled face slid down two lines of clear tears, and said, "Xiao Jie, I've lost my job now, and your father has been suspended. It's all because of Xiao Hui's sister-in-law. Your father said that if I don't handle this matter well, he will divorce me. I don't want a divorce!"
"All of this can be avoided. If you marry Tian Xiaohui, she can say a few good words to her sister-in-law, and Mom will be able to get her job back. Your dad can also go back to work and won't divorce Mom. So why don't you marry her?"
Seeing that Xing Yujie remained unmoved, Xing's mother shook his arm vigorously, crying even more bitterly and angrily: "Say something, Xiaojie! Have some pity on your mother! Do you really want to watch your father and mother get divorced?!"
"If your father divorces your mother, then your mother will not live!"
These words were like a bomb, exploding in Xing Yujie's mind with such force that his entire body trembled violently.
Xing Yuzhen also shed tears, and said angrily, "Xiao Jie, even your mother has knelt down before you!"
At this moment, Xing's mother tightly gripped the arm that Xing Yujie was holding Tian Xiaohui's wrist, and buried her face in her hands, weeping bitterly.
Her hand, which was originally holding Xing Yujie's arm, slowly moved and gradually moved to Tian Xiaohui's arm, suddenly increasing the force and gripping Tian Xiaohui tightly.
Tian Xiaohui was completely bewildered.
Feeling her mother's grip on her arm tighten, a surge of anger rose within her. With all her might, she swung her arm and flung it away!
He flung both of their hands away in an instant.
At the same time, the ward door was suddenly pushed open without warning.
A tall figure appeared at the door of the ward. It was Zheng Song. He still had one hand on the door, ready to push it open and enter. He seemed to have rushed over. He was breathing heavily, and his hair was soaked with sweat. He exuded an air of travel fatigue.
Seeing the chaotic scene in the ward, the battle-hardened man immediately recognized that a fight had taken place.
Seeing Tian Xiaohui's disheveled hair, clearly indicating she had been in a fight, his face darkened instantly, becoming indescribably gloomy, and his sharp gaze immediately fell upon Xing Yujie.
Upon seeing Zheng Song suddenly appear, a look of surprise flashed in Tian Xiaohui's eyes.
The next second, Zheng Song reached out his big hand, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her behind him.
"What are you doing?"
Before her stood Zheng Song's broad back. Tian Xiaohui heard Zheng Song questioning Xing Yujie, his mother, and his sister in an unhappy tone.
Xing's mother and the others were still in surprise.
They had considered that Tian Xiaohui would resist, and that Xing Yujie wouldn't be so easy to persuade, but they hadn't expected that someone would come to Tian Xiaohui's rescue.
"Captain Zheng, were there any tests done at the hospital?"
Xing's mother simply stood up as well.
Knowing that there was no chance for Xing Yujie to keep Tian Xiaohui today, and that she was angry that outsiders had seen her kneeling, coupled with Zheng Songceng's reaction that he had saved Tian Xiaohui once, she was extremely resentful.
Zheng Song scoffed.
The tense atmosphere eased slightly with his arrival. He had interrogated many vicious criminals, and Xing's mother's tricks were nothing in his eyes. He was at ease when facing Xing's mother, and his aura overwhelmed the noise and eeriness in the ward.
Xing Yuzhen had never met Zheng Song, let alone knew about the relationship between Zheng Song and Tian Xiaohui.
Hearing how Xing's mother addressed him, she assumed Zheng Song had just happened to hear the commotion and come in to check. Without batting an eye, she explained, "Captain, this is a family matter. As the saying goes, even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes. You don't need to bother with our family matters, do you?"
"Family matters?"
Zheng Song countered with a question.
Xing Yuzhen nodded, "Yes!" She pointed to Tian Xiaohui behind Zheng Song, "Look, she's my brother's fiancée. We wanted her to stay and take care of him, since she's getting married to him anyway. If she doesn't come, who will? But she doesn't agree, and we're trying to persuade her!"
Zheng Song turned to look at Tian Xiaohui.
“I’m not!” Tian Xiaohui immediately said.
As she spoke, she looked intently at Zheng Song, shook her head, and indicated that she was not Xing Yujie's fiancée.
She couldn't think of anything more convincing, and shook her head desperately again.
Zheng Song looked her up and down, then asked quietly, "Why are you here? What are you doing here? I brought you here before, but you wouldn't come. Why did you come here by yourself?"
A series of questions followed.
Tian Xiaohui opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't answer any of them, so she silently lowered her head.
"What's the meaning?"
Xing's mother noticed something amiss in their conversation and abruptly pushed Zheng Song aside, pointing a finger at him and demanding, "Captain Zheng, you brought Tian Xiaohui here to see our Xiao Jie before? What does that mean? What is your relationship with her?"
She was gesturing with her hand on people's faces while she was speaking, which was very uncomfortable.
Zheng Song calmly waved away the hand that was poking around in front of his face and said indifferently, "Don't be so rude, it'll make it easier to get in."
"you!"
Xing's mother was furious.
Before she could figure things out, she really didn't dare to make any rash moves. Now that she and her husband had lost their jobs, they couldn't afford to cause any more trouble. Otherwise, in the past, given her husband's status and position, why would she be afraid of a mere patrol captain?
