Chapter 789 Your Mother Is Going to Jump Off a Building
Bai Yi got off from behind, took off her helmet, and looked up to find Wang Ye looking at her. "What's wrong?"
She didn't hear what Linlin said clearly.
Wang Ye gave an awkward smile, shook his head at Bai Yi, and then said to Linlin, "You go upstairs with Mom first, Uncle has some things to do."
He made up this excuse on the spot, but who knew that the next second he would receive a call from Wang Yue.
"Xiao Ye! Something terrible has happened! Your mother is going to jump off a building!"
"What!"
Wang Ye stared wide-eyed in astonishment, "What's going on?!"
"I can't explain it to you over the phone, you'd better come back right away!"
"Okay, keep my mom calm for now, I'll be right back!"
Seeing his expression change drastically, Bai Jian quickly asked, "What happened?"
"My mom is threatening suicide!" Wang Ye didn't dare delay and was about to leave on his electric bike.
Bai Yi was shocked. She knew He Fen had a bad temper, but she never thought she would do something so crazy.
She was worried, "Why don't I go with you?"
"Just look after Linlin. I'll take care of things over there. I'll call you if anything happens."
After Wang Ye finished speaking, he twisted the accelerator all the way to the floor, and the electric car quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Bai Yi's heart sank, and she silently prayed that He Fen would be alright.
When Wang Ye arrived home, He Fen was standing on the balcony, gripping the railing, with half of her body already leaning out.
His balcony is an open type, and because there are no children in the family, the railing was not extended.
The height of the guardrail is just right at an adult's waist.
Although Wang Ye's apartment wasn't on a high floor, so a fall wouldn't necessarily be fatal, at that height, the risk was either death or serious injury, neither of which was something to be thankful for.
Wang Yue stood a meter away from He Fen, earnestly advising her, "Fen, don't be impulsive. We're family. Can't we talk things out? You absolutely mustn't do anything foolish!"
"Who says I'm family with you! I'm not even as good as an outsider in your eyes! You and your son can live with her from now on. I'll die to fulfill your wishes!"
At this hour, almost half the people in the building are already asleep.
When He Fen shouted, everyone turned on their lights and curiously opened their windows to see what had happened.
Even the people on the opposite floor were awakened by her voice and stuck their heads out of their windows to watch the show.
Wang Ye saw He Fen standing on the edge of the balcony, her body swaying precariously, as if she would fall at any moment.
He immediately felt a chill run down his spine and slowly walked towards He Fen.
"Mom! Let's talk this out. Can you come down first?"
Wang Yue was relieved to see Wang Ye arrive. He quickly said, "Yes, Fen, look, our son is back. Let's sit down and talk things over as a family. Even the biggest problems can be solved. If something really happened to you, wouldn't our family fall apart?"
Wang Ye turned his head and asked in a voice only he and Wang Yue could hear, "Did you call the police?"
"I've reported it and contacted the fire department. They should be here soon."
Wang Ye nodded, then looked at He Fen again.
"Mom, Dad is right. We're family, there's nothing we can't solve. Can you come down first?"
"Stop giving me that nonsense!" He Fen gripped the railing with one hand and pointed at Wang Ye with the other. "I just want a straight answer from you: are you going to divorce Bai Yi or not!"
Wang Ye broke down; she had actually gone so far as to force him to compromise in this way.
"Mom, can you please stop pressuring me?"
These words undoubtedly provoked He Fen. "Fine! You won't agree, huh? Then I'll kill myself!"
Her body lurched forward instantly, and she looked like she was about to fall.
Wang Yue and Wang Ye both gasped simultaneously. Wang Ye shouted, "Mom! Calm down! Don't be impulsive!"
Wang Ye didn't dare take a step forward, afraid that if he got any closer, He Fen would really jump.
Just then, I heard a siren downstairs; the fire truck had arrived.
Wang Ye's anxious heart finally found a moment of relief.
Firefighters quickly laid out a safety mat downstairs. At this height, falling onto the safety mat would not be life-threatening.
However, the absence of immediate danger to life does not mean there are no other dangers.
He Fen is already this age. If she falls and twists or injures her arm or leg, she will still have to go to the hospital.
So it's better to persuade them if you can.
The police who received the report from Wang Yue arrived at his home quickly.
When He Fen saw that the police had arrived, she became even more agitated.
"Don't come any closer! If you do, I'll jump right now!"
The police had seen many similar incidents, big and small, and were already used to them. They seemed much calmer than Wang Yue and Wang Ye.
But they were still afraid that He Fen would fall. One of the policemen looked to be two years older than He Fen. He addressed her affectionately, saying, "Little sister, you must not act impulsively. Look, your son and your husband are right here. If you really do something rash and jump, they will probably live in pain for the rest of their lives."
"Look at your son, he's so handsome. Are you really willing to abandon him? And what about your husband? If something really happens to you, he'll marry another woman. You've worked so hard for him for over ten years, do you really want to give everything in this family to another woman?!"
It has to be said that this kind of thing should be left to professionals.
The police officer's few words had an effect.
He Fen's emotions were indeed not as agitated as they had been at the beginning.
But she still remembered what she had just said to Wang Ye, "Xiao Ye, Mom doesn't want to force you, but everything Mom is doing now is for your future. Listen to Mom, divorce Bai Yi, and we'll find someone better, okay?"
Wang Ye grabbed a handful of hair in anguish, feeling both anxious and angry. "Mom, why do you insist on making me get a divorce? If you really care about me, can't you try to accept Bai Yi? What does it matter if we have children or not? As long as we can live a good life together, isn't that enough?"
"I've gone to such lengths, and you still won't agree? Are you determined to let your mother die?!" He Fen said, making a move as if she were about to jump down again.
Wang Ye panicked and shouted, "Mom! Mom! Don't get agitated, please don't get agitated!"
The policeman next to him gave Wang Ye a wink.
Wang Ye quickly understood. He swallowed hard and said to He Fen, "Mom, I promise you, I'll agree to anything you say. Can you come down first?"
"You really agreed?" He Fen looked at Wang Ye with some doubt.
Wang Ye dared not refuse at this point, and he nodded frantically, "As long as you come down and don't do anything stupid, I'll agree to anything you ask!"
