Xiang Qi returned to the Xiang family home and rested for a night. She changed into a fashionable and exquisite outfit, put on a delicate and bright makeup, and carefully dressed herself up. She was very satisfied with her beauty before heading to the hospital.
Last night, the Xiang family used their connections and finally found out which hospital Xiang Jin was in at midnight.
A high-end sanatorium that is extremely secluded in Huadu.
She wanted to go and see what was going on with her pitiful younger sister, whether she had recovered, and how much she had recovered. It would be even better if she were dead.
The security guard at the entrance wouldn't let her in, but Xiang Qi had to plead and bring up her relationship with Xiang Jin before she was finally allowed to pass. Once she arrived at Xiang Jin's ward, Xiang Qi's expression suddenly became distorted.
This ward must be the best suite in the sanatorium. The room is very large, with a recuperation room inside. The recuperation room is equipped with all kinds of top-notch facilities. Outside the recuperation room is a reception room, and there is also a kitchen and a bathroom. Even though she is the daughter of the Xiang family, she has never seen such a luxurious ward.
How could that bitch Xiang Jin be allowed to stay in such a nice hospital room?
All of this should belong to her.
If she had known earlier that Feng Jianian was Murong Xiao, if she hadn't fled abroad, if she had been the one to marry Murong Xiao, then all this glory, all this wealth, and all this attention would belong to her!
The person Murong Xiao originally intended to marry was her!
Xiang Jin married in her place, and this lowly woman enjoyed all of this for her. How could she be willing to accept this?
Xiang Qi tried her best to calm her resentment and anger, concealing the distortion in her face and striving to regain her elegance and charm. After calming herself down, she gently knocked on the door, pushed it open, and whispered, "Ah Xiao."
Murong Xiao sat by the hospital bed, completely ignoring the uninvited guest. Sunlight streamed through the window onto him, his expression hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to discern his emotions, but the entire ward was filled with a sense of oppression.
Xiang Qi was a little scared.
It seemed like the first time they had seen Murong Xiao like this, as if he was about to explode at any moment.
After a while, she finally mustered up her courage and walked to Murong Xiao's side.
"Ah Xiao, how is my sister?" Xiang Qi asked.
At that moment, the person on the bed twitched their fingers.
Murong Xiao immediately sat up and watched as Xiang Jin slowly opened his eyes. His fox-like eyes regained their usual brightness, and most of the melancholy in his eyes faded away.
"Little sister's awake! That's wonderful. Everyone was so worried when you were unconscious. Don't do that again next time. You're all grown up now, you need to take good care of yourself. Don't do anything as silly as falling into the pool again." Xiang Qi spoke like a caring older sister, her words a mix of reproach and concern.
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have worried everyone."
That smile vanished in an instant, as if it were just an act. She lowered her eyes and refused to say another word.
Xiang Qi and Murong Xiao appearing together in the ward was something she hadn't expected. The scene was like an intimate couple visiting a sick friend in the hospital; she was that friend, and they were that couple.
This contrast made Xiang Jin very uncomfortable, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"Are you hungry? Aunt Yang made you some porridge, you have to finish it all." Murong Xiao ladled a bowl for her, blew on it, and fed it to her.
The aroma of chicken wafted over, and Xiang Jin, who was starving, immediately had a hearty appetite: "Chicken porridge?"
"Um."
She took a sip and frowned: "Did they add Chinese medicine?"
"Just some Codonopsis pilosula, no picky eating allowed."
Codonopsis pilosula? This herb often appears in postpartum mothers' meals. It's a good medicine for replenishing qi and blood. Aunt Yang never adds anything randomly unless it's at Murong Xiao's behest. Murong Xiao... knows?
That's true, he even took me to the hospital, how could I not know?
But his attitude... Xiang Jin dared not think any further. She didn't know what Murong Xiao would do if he were truly enraged.
Another spoonful of porridge was brought to his lips.
Xiang Jin subconsciously turned her head to the side. She had drunk too much Chinese medicine recently, and the smell of it made her physiologically repulsed. By the time she realized what was happening, she saw Murong Xiao with an unhappy expression, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Ah Jin, what are you doing? Ah Xiao is feeding you himself, don't be stubborn." Xiang Qi couldn't stand it anymore. Although the two of them didn't say anything intimate, the scene of one feeding the other porridge was strangely harmonious. She stood there like a third party, feeling a little embarrassed.
"How about this, I'll feed him, Ah Xiao, you go and rest for a bit?" Xiang Qi said, reaching for the bowl. Murong Xiao didn't even look at her, nor did he seem inclined to hand it to her. Xiang Qi smiled awkwardly and silently retreated.
Feeling uneasy under Murong Xiao's gaze and annoyed by his repeated calls of "Ah Xiao," Xiang Jin couldn't help but ask, "Do you know?"
"What do you know?"
"Is it about you not answering your phone, or about meeting a man at the hotel, or... about the child?" Murong Xiao said sarcastically, bombarding him with questions one after another. "Xiang Jin, don't ask me what I know, but what you should explain."
Xiang Jin subconsciously retorted, "I didn't book a hotel room with any other man. You can check. I didn't ignore your calls on purpose; my phone was dead."
"What about the child? Tell me, why didn't you keep him?"
Murong Xiao's suppressed anger was on the verge of exploding. He clenched his fists and furrowed his brows, as if he was about to devour Xiang Jin alive at any moment.
She would never understand how happy he was when he found out she was pregnant, and how devastated he was when he heard she had miscarried. This was their child, the fruit of their life. Even if she no longer loved him, she shouldn't have treated a life like that.
He had originally hoped to keep her with the child, but he never expected her to be so heartless.
"child……"
"You mean, I aborted the child?" Xiang Jin looked at Murong Xiao in shock, then glanced at Xiang Qi.
"Ah Jin, why are you looking at me like that? I didn't tell Ah Xiao... How could you wrong me? I, I..." Xiang Qi looked at Murong Xiao with a pitiful expression, hoping to get some comfort.
"It's not her, it's your adoptive mother."
“She called you while you were asleep, and I answered it for you.” Murong Xiao’s voice was a little hoarse, and the way he looked at Xiang Jin was somewhat unfamiliar to her.
It took her a long time to recover, and then she could see what was in her eyes.
That was hatred. He hated her!
conspiracy!
This is a conspiracy!
That's not it, that's not it!
Xiang Jin was eager to explain, but the words wouldn't come out. She was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. Xiang Qi, who was next to her, looked at her with a warning look while typing the three words "Jiang Anqing" on her phone screen.
If she dares to tell the truth, they will deal with Jiang Anqing!
Despicable! Shameless!
