Chapter 337 You're the one who ruined my family.
Her hand trembled as she pointed in Xie Nanzhi's direction, her pupils widening. "You... Xie Nanzhi... you..."
Fortunately, Xie Nanzhi walked into the ward without any hesitation.
Even as she stood before Luo Meijuan's bedside, Xie Nanzhi's face remained completely expressionless. "Madam Xie, did you ever imagine that I would be the one to see you off on your final journey before you died?"
Luo Meijuan's breathing suddenly became rapid, and the oxygen tube inserted into her nostril shook violently with the rise and fall of her chest. Her fingers, which were gripping the bed sheet tightly, turned white from the force, and her knuckles even trembled slightly.
"You actually came."
Luo Meijuan seemed to have used all her strength, her voice hoarse like a broken bellows, "I thought you wouldn't want to...see me."
Xie Nanzhi looked down at the woman on the hospital bed, who looked like a withered branch. Sunlight streamed through the glass window of the ward and fell on her shoulders. She should have been full of vitality, but all she saw was death.
Xie Nanzhi couldn't help but think of Luo Meijuan when she was young, wearing an exquisite cheongsam and always wearing an arrogant and haughty expression, completely different from the woman in the hospital bed now.
She thought that Luo Meijuan's life was coming to an end.
Xie Nanzhi chuckled lightly, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger. "Mrs. Xie guessed correctly, I really didn't want to see you. If I hadn't been worried about Xie Yuanyang's driving safety, I wouldn't have come along."
Luo Meijuan still looked down on her, saying, "I knew it, you're a wolf cub."
Suddenly, Xie Nanzhi's gaze sharpened. "Wolf cub? Wasn't it your Xie family who drove me to this state?"
Xie Nanzhi's thin lips curled upwards, a cold light gleaming in her eyes. Her voice was as calm as if she were recounting a past event unrelated to herself. "I once thought that as long as I worked hard enough, I could eventually meet your requirements. I thought that as long as I obeyed, you would be happy. Luo Meijuan, do you know, I don't resent you for doting on Xie Xiyan, I don't resent you for indulging her in bullying me, I don't even resent you for helping her steal Shen Xu away, I still don't resent you, even if you suppressed me for Xie Xiyan's sake and made the decision to expel me from school without my consent, I still don't resent you. You raised me, I should know how to be grateful."
But I can't accept that your whole family conspired to harm me, blinding me and forcing me to marry a beast like Pei Jingchuan. You knew everything, yet you treated me like a fool for three years. I can't accept that you laid your hands on my mother in prison and abused her. I can't accept Xie Yongli's coercion of my mother. I will hate; that's to be expected.”
Luo Meijuan's face turned deathly pale instantly. She glared at Xie Nanzhi and opened her mouth, "So, you took revenge on everyone and ruined all of us. Xie Nanzhi, it was you who caused my family to be destroyed and my family to die, all because of you."
Luo Meijuan harbored too much resentment; if it weren't for Xie Nanzhi, she wouldn't have lived such a miserable life.
Xie Nanzhi sneered, "You're wrong. It's not because of me. If you want to hate someone, you should hate your husband. If it weren't for the bastard things he did back then, he wouldn't have given birth to me, and none of this would be what it is today."
Yes, it's all that man's fault.
It's all his fault.
He killed her only daughter.
Luo Meijuan's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face.
Xie Nanzhi didn't want to argue with a dying woman anymore.
If she wasn't going to come, fine. But since she was, Xie Nanzhi asked one more question, "What did you want to tell me if you asked me to come?"
Xie Yuanyang had previously conveyed Luo Meijuan's idea, but Xie Nanzhi refused.
I happened to come here today, so I just asked one more question.
Luo Meijuan stared at her, her eyes resolute. "Xi Yan's death is related to Pei Jingchuan. It was him, he killed Xi Yan."
Xie Xiyan died in prison while serving her sentence. It was publicly stated that she died of illness, but the actual cause of her death is unknown.
However, Xie Nanzhi had always had a suspicion that this matter was related to Pei Jingchuan.
Xie Nanzhi: "So?"
Luo Meijuan's expression became focused, and her emotions became agitated. "Xie Nanzhi, don't you hate Pei Jingchuan? Go investigate the evidence of his murder of Xiyan and bring him to justice!"
"Kill him, kill him!"
I see.
Even on her deathbed, Luo Meijuan was still thinking of using her to avenge Pei Jingchuan.
Xie Nanzhi smiled dismissively, "You really are a good mother. But didn't Xie Yuanyang tell you that Pei Jingchuan has been arrested again and will soon be on trial?"
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will most likely be the death penalty."
Luo Meijuan was taken aback.
The next second, she burst out laughing.
"Good riddance, good riddance, hahaha, this is retribution, his retribution..."
Suddenly, the heart rate curve on the monitor began to fluctuate violently, emitting a piercing "beep beep" sound, and the red alarm light flashed incessantly in the ward.
Just then, the ward door was suddenly pushed open, and several doctors and nurses in white coats rushed in, quickly surrounding the bedside and beginning emergency treatment for Luo Meijuan.
The heart rate curve on the monitor gradually flattened out, and Luo Meijuan slowly closed her eyes.
Xie Nanzhi looked at Luo Meijuan, who was covered with a white sheet, her face still expressionless. She simply turned around and walked out of the ward.
The sunlight shone on her, but it seemed unable to warm her already cold heart. The footsteps in the corridor gradually faded away, leaving only a deathly silence in the ward.
Xie Yuanyang handled all of Luo Meijuan's funeral arrangements; Xie Nanzhi did not attend.
With Luo Meijuan's passing, that unbearable past seems to have been veiled in gauze, forever sealed in a corner of my heart.
Xie Yongli, Xie Xiyan, Pei Jingchuan, and Luo Meijuan all paid the price for everything they did.
Xie Nanzhi lay on a rocking chair in the garden, gazing at the azure sky and listening to the birds chirping. Suddenly, a pair of soft, adorable little hands covered her eyes.
"Mommy, guess who I am?"
Xie Nanzhi smiled, her eyes filled with tenderness. "I bet it's Zhengbao, isn't it?"
Nianzheng let go of Xie Nanzhi's hand and ran to sit in her arms. "Mommy, you're so smart! How did you guess it right away?"
Sitting on the swing opposite Xie Nanzhi, Nian Chi complained, "You're already calling me Mommy, it's hard for Mommy not to guess, right?"
Nianzheng tilted her head and said, "What my brother said seems to make some sense."
The innocent and adorable remark made Xie Nanzhi and Nianchi laugh.
Xie Nanzhi hugged her daughter and kissed her, "Where's Grandma?"
Nianzheng poked her chubby little face, pressing her dimples repeatedly, "Grandma and Grandpa Zhang went to have afternoon tea."
Xie Nanzhi asked curiously, "How did you know it was Grandpa Zhang?"
Nianzheng said, "Because I saw Grandpa Zhang's nickname in my contacts, and Grandma dressed up nicely. Mommy told me that I only dress up nicely when I'm meeting someone I like. Mommy, is Grandma going to have a baby with Grandpa Zhang?"
