Dong Siqing was lying alone on the hospital bed, in a daze.
The figure of Helian Rui kept appearing in her mind. For some reason, she always felt that this man's intimacy with her made her very uncomfortable, and Mrs. Dong's reaction just now was also a little strange. She thought about it for a long time and couldn't understand what twists and turns there were that she didn't know, so she simply stopped worrying about it.
She picked up the phone beside her and started to look at it. She could still see the news about the daughter of the Dong family from the past few days, but she always acted as if she didn't care much. She also said in front of everyone that she understood that this was just media fabrications. In addition, she had revealed her attitude towards this identity before, which made her sure that she would not be affected by these. After observing her for a long time, Mrs. Dong finally felt relieved and returned the phone to her.
Reading everyone's speculations about the true and false identities of the Dong family's daughter, although she did not show it on her face, she had already known in her heart that Dong Jiaxue was the real daughter of the Dong family. When Mrs. Dong was not around, she secretly asked a nurse to test her own DNA with Mrs. Dong's. She was not surprised by the result, but she still minded Dong Jiaxue's existence. Children raised in aristocratic families will almost do anything to gain their own status. Before, she was arrogant and domineering and did not care on the surface, but if there is a real threat, she will grow claws and take the initiative to attack.
Winning over the hearts and minds of the people was only the beginning. Her current closeness to Madam Dong and Su Yu's fawning over her arrival that day were all the first steps in her plan. But who was the man who had just appeared? He began to wonder again, and he carefully recalled Madam Dong's expression when she saw the newcomer: a mixture of uneasiness, fear, and respect. This gave Dong Siqing a target for her next move. Even if his identity was uncertain, Madam Dong's unwavering deference to him suggested he was someone with a distinguished background.
Inside the car, the kindness on Helian Rui's face had long since disappeared, replaced by the same icy and rigid expression.
"How's Zicheng doing lately?"
"I've been in the hospital for the past few days and haven't been home. I'll ask Aunt Mei right away."
Hearing the question, Mrs. Dong remembered that she had a bedridden husband at home; but the situation had occurred frequently recently, and Dong Siqing became even more dependent on her after waking up. How could she have the time to care about someone she didn't care about?
"Forget it, let's wait a few days to announce his death."
Mrs. Dong was startled at the words, but nodded as if to obey. She hadn't visited Dong Zicheng's room since Helian Rui left that day, so she had no idea of the gaunt man's current condition. But now she understood completely: he had been bedridden for six years, and was of no use at all. This fate was bound to happen sooner or later.
Helian Rui fiddled with the lighter in his hand, looking out the window as if he had thought of something. His heart sank and he said immediately, "I'll take you and Siqing to meet someone in a few days. Dress appropriately."
"Ke Siqing's body?"
Perhaps Dong Siqing's affectionateness these past few days had really taken effect. Mrs. Dong's first thought wasn't about meeting someone. Instead, she was worried about the girl's health. After all, she had just woken up from a coma, and leaving the hospital without permission would inevitably be risky.
The man paused slightly, as if he was carefully considering what he said. After a moment of silence, he revealed that doting look again. He held his forehead helplessly and said awkwardly, "Oh, forget it! I'll bring her over! You take good care of Siqing."
Mrs. Dong was surprised by Helian Rui's quick compromise, but she just thought it was pure love for her granddaughter and didn't think too much about it. Just when she was about to say something else, her cell phone rang - it was Dong Siqing.
I picked up the phone without hesitation, and heard a joyful and urgent voice on the other end: "Mom, my brother is awake! Come back soon, my brother is awake!"
Even through the phone, one could feel Dong Siqing's excitement at the moment. Helian Rui, who was standing beside her, also heard the news. He nodded slightly at the woman, agreeing to her request.
"Mom will be back soon. Siqing, calm down and lie down on the bed. Be careful not to hurt your wound!"
After hanging up the phone and saying goodbye to the man, Mrs. Dong hurriedly ran towards the ward. When she rushed into the ward, the doctors had already examined the man and were instructing Dong Siqing, who looked worried, on things she needed to pay attention to. When she saw Mrs. Dong come in, the girl was even more excited with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, mom. The doctor said Brother Xu is fine!"
Seeing Chen Xu slowly waking up on the bed, Mrs. Dong couldn't help but redden her eyes. Chen Xu looked towards the door, lowered his voice and pretended to have just been welcomed, and called out hoarsely - mother.
Looking at her two children who were now safe and sound, Dong Siqing finally couldn't control her emotions anymore and burst into tears. In her heart, she was repenting to the dead Chen Zirong - Brother Zirong, Xuer and Siqing are all fine, fortunately they are all fine!
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Dong Siqing had fallen into a deep sleep and Mrs. Dong had been driven back by the brother and sister. Only Chen Xu was left awake. He tiptoed to the monitoring ward where Fu Linxiao and the others were. Everyone was already waiting there.
It turned out that when Chen Xu was being wheeled away for examination in the afternoon, their people received news that Helian Rui had arrived at the hospital. After some discussion, everyone felt that it was time to wake Chen Xu up, because if Chen Xu did not wake up according to the subsequent plan, Mrs. Dong would probably not leave here easily.
Seeing everyone gathered here, there was no excessive greeting. No one mentioned the matter of rebirth tacitly. Instead, Chen Xu took the initiative to ask about the question about Helian Rui that Mrs. Dong mentioned in the ward in the afternoon.
"Helian Rui is going to bring someone here tomorrow. Do you know who it is?"
"I'm not sure yet, but we received news that Daisy will land in the imperial capital tonight. We don't know whether she's heading for Helian Rui or Lillian yet."
The monitoring room has always been manned by Ying and his men, and any disturbance will be reported to them immediately, so everyone knew about the news at that time. In addition, there was also news from Country A that Daisy came to the imperial capital in the morning. Although they were not sure, the two coincided, which made everyone speculate.
Everyone was still worried about Chen Xu's stiff legs. No one wanted to see him get hurt again, whether it was a hindrance or a re-injury. Amidst the awkward atmosphere, Jiang Luoning took the initiative and said, "Let's hold off tomorrow and see what Helian Rui and the others are up to!"
Hearing this, Chen Xu could only nod in agreement. Immediately, Fu Linxiao handed him a button-sized object and a pen.
"This is a tracker and a combat pen. There's a button on the tracker. If you encounter danger outside our control, just press it. The nearest team will provide you with immediate support. The end of the pen has three bullets that can be fired, and the tip can also be transformed into an offensive weapon. Use these for self-defense."
Chen Xu took the things and put them away, looking at the man with a bit of awe. He thought that these people would have a big gap with him after knowing about his rebirth, but he didn't expect that even his safety was taken into consideration by this group of people.
