Chapter 21 Aciguai
Hospital.
"dad!"
Xie Peizhou pulled Wen Ci into the ward.
For the first time, Wen Ci saw the cold and steady Xie Peizhou's eyes red, filled with pain and discomfort.
But when she saw Grandpa Xie lying on the hospital bed, her heart suddenly tightened and ached, and tears flowed unconsciously.
Cancer is a devil that sucks people's energy.
After just a few days of not seeing him, Grandpa Xie looked much worse, his eyes were dull and lifeless, and his body seemed to be nothing but old skin wrapped in a pile of bones.
Medical staff surrounded him.
But when he heard Xie Peizhou's "Dad", a glimmer of light appeared in Grandpa Xie's old and turbid eyes. He looked at his little son with guilt and love, "My son, I'm afraid Daddy can't hold on any longer. Alas... I still won't see you get married and have children. When you go to the underground, your mother, your mother will definitely-"
“Ding ding ding—”
The medical equipment issued a sharp alarm, suppressing the sound of Mr. Xie's weak breathing.
The attending doctor glanced at the fluctuations on the instrument display screen and his face changed. "Not good, rescue quickly, family members, get out quickly, don't delay the rescue!"
"Thank you, Grandpa..."
Wen Ci looked at Grandpa Xie's eyes which suddenly closed, tears flowing uncontrollably, her body stiff and cold.
The nurse hurriedly rushed them out, "Mr. Xie, please leave first. You staying here will only affect the doctor's rescue..."
"Peizhou, let's go wait outside..."
On the side, Song Wanqing gently held Xie Peizhou's arm, wanting to give him support and dependence.
Xie Peizhou's eyes turned redder. He suddenly grabbed Wen Ci's wrist and pulled her out of the ward.
Song Wanqing's hand was shaken away, and she was stunned. "Peizhou, where are you going?"
When she chased out, the corridor was empty.
The woman pursed her lips, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
"Uncle, where are you taking me..."
Wen Ci felt uncomfortable.
Xie Peizhou dragged her to the stairs with great force, leaving a red mark on her fair wrist.
Xie Peizhou let her go, holding her shoulders tightly with both hands. His red eyes were filled with pain and a hint of pleading. "Aci, tell me the truth, is Nian Nian my daughter?"
"I beg you...I don't want him to die with regrets. Can you please tell me the truth?"
Xie Peizhou approached step by step.
Wen Ci felt cold all over and was forced to retreat step by step until her thin back hit the cold wall behind her, with nowhere to retreat.
Xie Peizhou said in a low and hoarse voice, "Can you really bear to let him regret it for the rest of his life?"
"Ah Ci, tell me, is Nian Nian my daughter?"
Wen Ci looked at his painful black eyes, her eyelashes trembled, and a line of tears flowed from her eyes.
"no."
Xie Peizhou's body suddenly stiffened.
Only two breaths remained in the stagnant air.
The man's dark eyes were filled with emotions.
He gripped Wen Ci's shoulders a few degrees harder, "Say it again."
Wen Ci: “No.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge pressure on his shoulders instantly eased.
When Wen Ci reacted, she only saw Xie Peizhou's back as he walked away.
She wrapped her arms around herself, her shoulders trembling, and her numb back slowly slid down the cold wall.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa Xie..."
"Thank you, Grandpa. I'm sorry..."
-
When Wen Ci returned to the ward, the old man had already been rescued.
However, the attending physician said, "The old man is very old, and the cancer cells are spreading too rapidly. Every minute is torture for him. At most, he has less than two and a half months left. If he has any wishes, please help him fulfill them as soon as possible. Time is running out for filial piety."
Wen Ci walked to the bedside with guilt, holding Grandpa Xie's dry hand, "Grandpa Xie, Xiao Ci has a secret to tell you——"
"dad!"
Before Wen Ci finished speaking, a familiar voice came from behind her.
When Mr. Xie, who was in a semi-comatose state, heard Xie Peizhou's voice, his breathing became heavier and he barely opened his eyes.
When Wen Ci turned around, she saw Xie Peizhou and Song Wanqing holding hands.
In just a second, she averted her eyes and obediently stood up from the bedside to leave her seat for them.
"Little one..."
"Dad." Xie Peizhou held his father's hand and placed a medical report in front of his cloudy eyes. "Look, Wanqing is pregnant!"
"What?!"
The calm lake surface seemed to have exploded like a huge torpedo.
Wen Ci's face turned pale as she met Song Wanqing's happy and gentle smile.
Song Wanqing stroked her belly, "Xiaoci, I'm pregnant. I'm three months pregnant. Are you happy for me and your uncle?"
“Snap—”
Wen Ci seemed to hear the sound of something breaking.
She looked at Xie Peizhou, and Xie Peizhou's deep black eyes also looked at her coldly.
The blood vessels seemed to be frozen.
After an unknown amount of time, Wen Ci smiled and said, "Uncle, congratulations."
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
She turned around and left the ward with unsteady steps.
"Wen Ci?!"
In the corridor, Wen Ci bumped into someone and took two steps back.
Chen Jinghe quickly supported her, "Why are you so distraught? Is it because of Mr. Xie's illness?"
Wen Ci's face turned pale and she said nothing.
Chen Jinghe was worried, sighed, and supported her. "I'm worried about you like this. I'm taking a day off this afternoon. I'll drive you wherever you want to go."
When Xie Peizhou came out of the ward, he only saw Chen Jinghe hugging Wen Ci's waist, and the two of them entered the elevator intimately.
The man's black eyes were stunned, and he walked over.
"Peizhou!"
The arm was held by a white, slender hand.
Xie Peizhou frowned slightly and looked back into the ward. The old man was lying on the bed, and his condition was slightly better than before the rescue.
Xie Peizhou closed the ward door and broke free from her hand.
"What's up."
Song Wanqing curled her lips, "I need your help with something."
Xie Peizhou didn't care at first, but when he heard the five words "related to Wen Ci", his cold black eyes instantly fell on Song Wanqing's gentle and delicate face.
Song Wanqing said, "My younger sister Wei Ran is young and naive. She borrowed Wen Ci's script and wanted to make a movie. Wen Ci is now suing her for plagiarism. Can you get Wen Ci to sign a letter of apology?"
"This incident didn't cause any harm to Wen Ci. She just needs to sign a letter of apology. Could you please help my little sister?"
Song Wanqing coquettishly shook Xie Peizhou's arm, lowered her eyes and shyly stroked her flat belly, "Just for the sake of the baby in your belly..."
Xie Peizhou pulled his hand away, his eyes sharp and cold.
Song Wanqing felt a chill down her spine, and she opened her mouth and said sadly, "You won't even bother with such a small matter? Weiran is my family!"
Xie Peizhou said with a cold face, "Song Weiran is your relative, isn't Wen Ci someone I care about?"
"Last time Song Weiran bullied Wen Ci, I asked your father to give her a good warning. But she didn't repent and actually stole the script that Wen Ci had been polishing for three or four years? Song Wanqing, if someone stole your carefully designed work, would you let them go so easily?"
Song Wanqing's face turned pale. Of course she wouldn't.
Will make the other party pay the price in blood!
But the one who was plagiarized was Wen Ci, and the plagiarist was her own sister.
"Can't you just do it for my sake..."
Xie Peizhou interrupted her coldly, "Song Wanqing, if it were anything else, I could have agreed to your request. You're willing to act with me to reassure my father, and I'm grateful to you. I'll pay you every cent you deserve. But you want to use this to blackmail me. I could have brought back an 'illegitimate child' who looks like me to put my father at ease."
"The hospital doesn't need so many people. Please leave."
After Song Wanqing left, Xie Peizhou went to Chen Jinghe's office, but found nothing.
The nurse on duty said, "Doctor Chen took the afternoon off and has already left work."
Xie Peizhou: "Did he leave alone? Was there a cool and pretty girl with him?"
Nurse: "Oh, you mean Miss Wen? They left together. Miss Wen was crying so hard. This is the first time I've seen Dr. Chen so patiently comfort someone. He even wiped Miss Wen's tears with his own hands."
Xie Peizhou pinched his eyebrows irritably.
Why can Chen Jinghe know the biological father of her child, but he can't? !
