Eric couldn't stand this sentimental atmosphere. He raised his hand and patted the shoulder of Leir, who was closest to him, and said, "What are you dreaming about in broad daylight? Train hard and bring the championship trophy back to Jue Shi. That's the real business."
Leir nodded, a burning fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
…
After having dinner with Lei Er and the others, An Ci and Dali returned to the manor first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the living room, she heard shocking news - An Jianwen committed suicide by cutting his wrists and was admitted to the hospital.
An Ci frowned, "How is that possible, Aunt Hong, where did you hear this news?"
How could An Jianwen commit suicide? It's not like he would do such a thing.
Aunt Hong lowered her voice and said, "It's spreading like wildfire among the side branches right now. I don't know the details, but the Second Elder has already rushed over."
An Ci pondered for a few seconds and said, "Da Li, let's go take a look."
Dali always obeyed her words. He turned around and went out to drive.
An Ci suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Aunt Hong, and asked, "Aunt Hong, which hospital is Brother Wen in?"
Aunt Hong told An Ci the name of the hospital and he left quickly.
On the other side, in a private hospital.
On the VIP floor, seven or eight bodyguards in black suits were standing in the corridor.
Suddenly, the door of the ward opened and Xie Xin brought the doctor out. The light shone on her face. Her haggard appearance could not hide her fatigue. Her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.
"Doctor, please help me." She said in a hoarse voice.
The doctor said, "It's not a big deal. This is what we should do. If there's anything unexpected, you can ring the bell at any time."
Xie Xin nodded. Just as he sent the doctor away, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from afar.
Before she could turn around, she heard the bodyguard's respectful voice, "Second Elder."
Xie Xin's back was stiff, a guilty look flashed in her eyes. She slowly turned around and when she looked up, she met a pair of dark eyes.
She clasped her fingers together, avoiding his gaze, "...Dad."
The Second Elder glanced at her, then glanced at the ward door beside him. He asked, "How is Jianwen?"
"He was sent here in time. The doctor said he's fine, but he hasn't woken up yet." As he spoke, Xie Xin lowered his head even more.
The Second Elder breathed a sigh of relief, but his face remained tense. "Come with me."
After saying this, he walked away.
Xie Xin followed, and the father and daughter came to the balcony at the end of the corridor. The Second Elder stopped and turned to look at Xie Xin with a sharp gaze, "What's going on?"
Xie Xin's expression was evasive, "I..."
Seeing her hesitant, the Second Elder was even more certain that there was something hidden. His voice turned cold, "I know Jianwen better than anyone else. It's definitely not impossible for him to commit suicide. Tell me clearly, what is going on?"
Not to mention that Jianwen was raised by him personally, he only has this one grandson, and he feels sad when he sees him get hurt, let alone something like cutting his wrists and committing suicide.
"It's my fault." Xie Xin's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was choked. "I was so depressed that I wanted to commit suicide. Jianwen was trying to steal the dagger, so I accidentally stabbed him."
It was like a bolt from the blue.
The second elder stood there in a daze, anger, worry, and heartache intertwined in his eyes, and he looked at her with a hint of disbelief.
"You, what do you want to do?"
He was so shocked that his voice changed.
Xie Xin knelt down in front of him with a thud, sobbing softly, "Dad, I know I was wrong, but I can't help it. I haven't been able to get over An Rui's accident. I've worked hard over the years, seen doctors, and taken a lot of medicine, but it's no use. It's gotten worse recently. I can't sleep all night long. Dad, I'm so tired, I'm so tired..."
She grabbed the second elder's hand, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time completely collapsed at this moment.
"Especially when I see Jianwen's face, I can't help but think of An Rui. An Rui did make mistakes, but if the head of the family hadn't been so heartless, Jianwen wouldn't have lost his father, and my mother and I wouldn't have been laughed at all these years. Maybe An Rui and I could still live a good life."
Although the Second Elder felt sorry for his daughter, he remained rational. He frowned and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. The Patriarch had shown mercy to An Rui. It was all his own fault. He dared to murder the young master, so he should have thought about his own fate."
"But the murder didn't succeed, An Ci is fine." Xie Xin's makeup was smudged by tears, and she was in a state of madness where she didn't care about other people's lives, and her tone was filled with a hint of complaint.
"She's safe and sound, but our family of three is ruined. You've been loyal to the An family for so many years. Even for your sake, can't the head of the family give An Rui a chance to reform?"
The Second Elder interrupted her sharply, "That's enough."
Fortunately, there were no outsiders here, otherwise if her words "No, the murder was not successful" were heard by the head of the family, even he would not be able to protect her.
"How could you become so unreasonable?" He looked at Xie Xin with disappointment in his eyes. "An Rui is so ambitious and covets the position of the head of the family. He dared to do those things. Do you still expect him to change for the better?"
"Besides, with his character, he's not qualified to be Jianwen's father. If the head of the family is truly heartless, do you think I can still stay on the elders' council, can Jianwen still stay in the manor to study, and can the assets under An Rui's name still be left to you and your son?"
Xie Xin's hands dropped, his expression dull, as if he was stumped by the Second Elder's words.
After a moment, she covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly, "What did I do wrong? I just want a complete family."
