“Xiaohui, I told you, you are an adult. I didn’t comment because I didn’t want to bear the consequences of your actions. Now, Xing Yujie and Zheng Song are both good marriage candidates in your eyes. No matter which one you give up, there’s no guarantee you won’t regret it later. If I interfere in your affairs, what if you blame me for everything when you regret it later?”
"At that time you will say: 'Oh, if only I hadn't listened to Sister-in-law Ye Yun, she's the one who ruined me.'"
"Ha, I don't want to take the blame for this."
Tian Xiaohui was speechless with astonishment.
Seeing Ye Yun's obvious indifference, a hint of urgency appeared on her face.
"No, sister-in-law, that won't happen."
"My dear sister, nothing in this world is absolute. Just like you can't guarantee you won't regret it later."
Further discussion is pointless.
Ye Yun put down her water glass and left.
She didn't want to get involved in other people's karma.
It's okay to let her support you.
However, the choice must be made by the individual.
The empty room was left with only Tian Xiaohui. She hesitated for a few seconds, then stepped out, her departing figure seeming to have made some kind of decision.
From the production workshop directly opposite the main entrance, Ye Yun saw Tian Xiaohui hurrying away on her old bicycle through the window.
If nothing unexpected happens, this girl is planning to try and get one last chance from Xing Yujie.
She really is the person I truly like.
Even if countless difficulties and dangers lay before her, she was determined to take the gamble one last time.
As for Zheng Song, who was introduced by someone else, no matter what he did, even if he took the best care of her, he could only be a backup option.
"Factory manager, is Xiaohui going back to the pastry shop?" A figure approached, and Ye Yun turned her head. It was Tian Xiaohui's sister-in-law, who was craning her neck to look out the window at Tian Xiaohui as she left.
She couldn't help but glance out the window again.
Just as she turned the corner, Tian Xiaohui, riding her old-fashioned bicycle, disappeared from her sight as she sped off.
Ye Yun's eyes darkened slightly.
Turning around, she leaned against the window and truthfully told Aunt Tian, "No."
"What?"
Sure enough, Sister Tian's expression froze.
"You said she wasn't going back to the pastry shop? Then where was she rushing off to? Was she going to see Captain Zheng?"
Ye Yun shook her head.
In an instant, Sister Tian seemed to realize something, and suddenly slapped her thigh, "Oh no!"
"That silly girl! They don't even like her, why is she still going after them!"
"Yes, sigh..." Ye Yun sighed, pretending not to understand and not wanting to interfere, and said, "Zheng Song's mother just came to see her. She's a nice woman who likes and respects her. She brought her a lot of rare snacks. I personally think she's not bad. Sometimes having a good mother-in-law is more useful than having a good husband. It's just... tsk, what a pity."
"Oh! Who says otherwise!"
These words struck a chord with Sister Tian.
She was furious with Tian Xiaohui, especially at her lack of self-control. Clapping her hands, she argued, "Isn't the biggest danger in living with your husband's family the mother-in-law? If the mother-in-law is mean-spirited, the daughter-in-law will suffer! Look at the faces of that old couple in the Xing family! If she marries into their family, won't she be bullied to death? What good is it if Xing Yujie likes her? He wants to marry her but can't even win over his parents. How can you expect him to protect her after marriage? This brat just can't understand! It's infuriating!"
The more Aunt Tian talked, the angrier she became.
Suddenly she noticed the landline phone on the workbench.
"Factory manager, can I use the factory's phone?"
After saying that, she rushed to the landline without waiting for Ye Yun's reply and hurriedly dialed the police station's number.
"Hello, I need to speak with Captain Zheng urgently..."
By the window, Ye Yun leaned against the windowsill in a languid posture, arms crossed, quietly watching the scene before her.
This time, the cause and effect are no longer hers.
...
Hospital.
As lunchtime approached, Xing's mother instructed Xing Yuzhen to take good care of Xing Yujie, and planned to go home to stew some chicken soup for Xing Yujie to nourish his body.
Xing Yujie's condition has been deteriorating in recent days.
As her mother, she felt heartbroken watching this.
Sigh, if only she had known, she shouldn't have stopped his marriage to that Tian Xiaohui!
Now she does want Xing Yujie and Tian Xiaohui to get married, but there's no chance anymore. Not only is there no possibility of Xing Yujie and Tian Xiaohui getting married, but the two of them have also lost their jobs. It's a real loss!
Sighing, Xing's mother listlessly walked into the bike shed and found her bicycle.
As she unlocked her bicycle and was about to leave, she suddenly saw a familiar figure rushing into the hospital on a bicycle.
Huh?
Isn't that Tian Xiaohui?
What is she doing at the hospital?
Why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that you're here to see her son?
In an instant, this huge idea flashed through Xing's mother's mind. Her eyes lit up, and without bothering to lock the car, she hurriedly parked it and followed Tian Xiaohui into the hospital.
Over here, Tian Xiaohui threw her car at the hospital entrance and went into the inpatient building.
She told someone at the entrance of the three-story military hospital inpatient building that Xing Yujie was in order to find out which ward he was in.
She rushed over without stopping for a moment.
Meanwhile, Xing Yujie leaned against the headboard, staring listlessly at the quilt in front of her.
Nothing is more tragic than a broken heart.
Even though he was only in his early twenties and in the prime of his life, he could not withstand the daily torment of his mind. His weak and pale complexion made him look like he was terminally ill.
Seeing him like this made Xing Yuzhen's heart clench with pain, and she sighed helplessly.
"Xiao Jie, just listen to your sister's advice and forget about her. You're making Mom and me so heartbroken..."
Seeing that Xing Yujie had no strength to answer, she reached out and gently touched Xing Yujie's forehead with heartache. Her fingertips touched his dull and dry short hair, and she felt even more helpless and angry.
His voice suddenly rose in pitch.
"Look how many times Mom and I have gone to see her! We've brought gifts, said nice things, and Mom and Dad even agreed to your marriage. We've said everything we needed to say and apologized for everything we needed to say. Now it's just that she doesn't want to be with you anymore!"
Xing Yujie remained silent.
Now that things have come to this, there is no longer any possibility with Tian Xiaohui, and he has probably given up hope.
Knock knock!
Just then, there was a knock on the ward door, and it was pushed open before they could answer.
Xing Yuzhen looked over in annoyance.
"who……"
Upon seeing Tian Xiaohui suddenly appear at the door, Xing Yuzhen stopped herself from cursing.
She quickly shook Xing Yujie.
"Xiao Jie! Look who's here!"
The man's thin body seemed to be shaken so badly by her movements that he could hardly sit up. Xing Yujie, with an indifferent expression, followed Xing Yuzhen's gaze toward the door of the ward as if he were a walking corpse.
His face froze for a moment.
After a long while, he looked shocked, his lips trembling as he said in disbelief, "Xiao...Xiao Hui..."
