Chapter 1248 Si Yan Knows
After drinking the whole glass of water that He Tian handed me, my throat immediately felt much better and it didn't hurt so much when I swallowed my saliva.
He Tian asked, "Are you feeling better now?"
Si Yan nodded obediently, then opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle He, why are you here?" His voice was still hoarse, but much better than when he just woke up.
"I just wanted to come and see you. Sixu was very worried about you, and we didn't tell him about your situation."
Mentioning his brother, Si Yan's face turned anxious: "Don't tell him I'm sick, he'll cry."
He Tian moved a chair to the bedside and sat down. "But Siyan has already cried. When I saw him today, his eyes were swollen and he had dark circles. He must have not slept at all last night."
Si Yan bit her lip and lowered her head, saying nothing. Her left hand, which was not receiving the needle, also clenched the quilt tightly around her.
He Tian raised his eyes and saw that the medicine in the infusion bag had flowed to the bottom. He stood up and closed the bag, then took a cotton swab and pulled out the needle on the back of Siyan's hand. At the moment the needle was pulled out, he pressed the cotton swab on the needle hole to stop the bleeding.
"Does it hurt?"
Si Yan said, "It doesn't hurt." Compared to the slap his father gave him yesterday, this little pain was nothing. He touched his left cheek, and the redness and swelling seemed to have not gone away yet.
"Your father beat you yesterday."
"Well, because I stole the key, and stealing is bad behavior," he admitted.
"Not just because you stole the key."
"Then what else? Uncle He, do you also think..." Si Yan stopped talking and glanced towards the door, afraid that what he said would be heard by others and then reach his father's ears.
He had been locked in the basement all night and was already afraid of having a stress reaction. He was like a frightened bird at the slightest sign of trouble.
"Don't worry, no one will hear you... Your father won't come up here either. He knows you definitely don't want to see him right now, so you can talk to me without worry..."
Siyan opened his mouth, as if he was afraid of something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
He Tian sighed and patted Si Yan's head. "Your father spanked you yesterday and locked you in the basement all night. Did you ever blame him?"
Siyan felt a lump in his throat and remained silent.
If it were the Siyan of the past, he would definitely say directly that he would not blame his father.
Siyan is not someone who blindly worships his father. He has his own ideas. When he apologized to Li Jinxing, he only admitted that he shouldn't have stolen the key, but he still didn't think there was anything wrong with him opening the window for his mother.
Siyan has his own stubbornness, which is very similar to Li Jinxing.
"Let me tell you why you couldn't open the window for your mother. Do you know what happened after you used the key to open the window for her?"
Siyan shook his head.
He only knew that his father came home as usual, and when he and his brother were about to pick him up, he scolded them. In the end, they were sent to the children's room by the nanny.
At that time, Dad's face looked very ugly, and there seemed to be despair in his eyes, as if he had seen some horrifying scene that was hard for him to accept... He couldn't figure out what kind of scene it was that could make him see fear and despair on his father's face at the same time.
His intuition told him that something serious was happening outside, but he couldn't guess.
If a scene can scare the father, then when he and his brother see it, they will definitely be scared to the point of having nightmares, leaving psychological trauma, and they may even go to the hospital to see a doctor.
He Tian looked at Siyan's innocent expression, hesitated for four or five seconds, and finally decided to tell Siyan everything.
"When your father came back, your mother jumped out of the window, the window you opened..."
Such a result was too cruel for Si Yan. He opened his eyes wide in horror. His eyes, which were already red, were now widened to reveal bloodshot eyes on the whites of his eyes.
He thought of all the possible outcomes, but he hadn't expected this.
"How is my mother?" The child's first reaction is to care about his mother.
He Tian quickly said, "She's fine. She's still alive, just a little injured."
The tension on Siyan's face did not fade away. How terrible it was! He almost "killed" his own mother.
If his mother died from jumping out of the window, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life. He would probably want to chop off his hand every time he thought of the moment when he stole the key.
Siyan was so scared that his hands and feet felt weak and his back felt cold. By the time he came to his senses, tears were already falling.
"Mom, why did she jump out of the window? Was she trying to commit suicide?"
"No, she just wants to leave here, but your father won't allow her to, so she can't go out."
"Dad said Mom is sick and something bad will happen if she goes out."
"Your father lied to you."
"He lied to me?" Si Yan looked at He Tian with tears in her eyes.
He Tian held a tissue in his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Si Yan's face. As he wiped, he said, "He just didn't want to hear you plead for Gu Wanqiu. He didn't want to let her go, so he made up a lie that she was sick. Have you seen how she looks now? Doesn't she look like a lunatic?"
Si Yan shook his head as He Tian said.
Gu Wanqiu is sick, but he is definitely not a madman.
"Why did Dad do this? Why did he lock Mom up and chain her up?"
He suddenly thought of the kite he had hung on the tree. When his mother looked at it, her face did not show any joy. She always looked out the window with a sad look, watching the birds flying in the sky.
Perhaps in her mother's eyes, she is the kite being pulled by someone. Only when the kite string breaks and it flies higher and higher, will she raise the corners of her lips and smile faintly.
When my mother stood on the window and jumped down, did she ever imagine herself as the kite with a broken string, breaking free from other people's hands and flying high into the sky?
But she was not a kite. No matter how strong the wind was, it could not blow her up. She could only fall down, falling down again and again until the chain on her ankle reached the end and pulled her down.
How painful would that be? Si Yan whimpered and covered his burning eyes with his hands. His voice was hoarse and choked, and there were waves of dull pain in his throat.
Listening to Siyan's crying, He Tian didn't know how to comfort him. He felt guilty and painful. He regretted telling Siyan about this, but if he didn't tell her, things would not be able to proceed afterwards. He needed someone to help him bring Li Jinxing back.
After that tiny bit of regret disappeared, He Tian said, "Because your father hates her."
Siyan didn't understand: "Hate? Doesn't Dad love Mom very much?"
"That's just the surface you see. Your mother did something to hurt your father, so your father hates her and wants to lock her up here to get revenge on her."
The word "revenge" has too much impact on a child. He never thought that the father who once carried his mother like a princess would hate her so much and take revenge on her on this day.
"A lot of things happened between them. I can't tell you everything. I'm telling you these things today because I don't want the tragedy to continue. If your mother doesn't leave your father, she will die sooner or later."
This is the result that Siyan doesn't want to see.
This time, Gu Wanqiu lost half his life and stepped into hell.
The needle hole, which should have stopped bleeding, began to ooze blood again. Si Yan clenched his hands and asked in a trembling voice, "What should I do?"
He Tianzhi said, "Go and ask your father to release Gu Wanqiu."
"I begged him... but was it any use?" He and his brother had begged together before, but it was of no use at all, and they were even deceived by the perfunctory response.
"Of course it will help. Your father cares about you very much. If you beg him, he will definitely listen to you. However, you can't tell anyone what we said today. You have to keep it a secret." After Si Yan nodded with red eyes and promised him.
He Tian leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Asking for help also requires skills..."
"Si Yan, you have to remember that no matter what your father did to your mother, his feelings for you remain unchanged. He loves you and Si Xu, so don't resent him. His punishment of you yesterday was indeed excessive, but it was also to prevent Gu Wanqiu from taking advantage of you a second time. Please be considerate of him. After all, this is his first time being a father, and he may not do well sometimes."
"I know. I don't blame my father anymore. I know he loves me."
"Then do you blame your mother? She lied to you this time."
Basking in the sun, feeling the summer breeze, and watching the kites were all fake. She just wanted to jump out of the window. She didn't die this time. What if she died? Did she ever think about the feelings of her two children? Would they blame themselves for their death for the rest of their lives?
Si Yan did not answer, but asked He Tian: "Dad loves me, does Mom love me?"
He Tian watched the surveillance video of the time when Gu Wanqiu jumped out of the window. He noticed a detail: she waited for Li Jinxing to call the two children and let them into the house before she jumped out of the window.
He Tian replied: "It's also love."
"That's enough, I will get my mother away from here." Just like a kite that broke free from the string, it flew higher and farther.
"Good boy, I'm sorry for wronging you."
Si Yan said in a muffled voice: "I'm not wronged, Uncle He, don't tell my brother what you said to me today, I'm afraid he can't bear it."
"Well, I know. I won't tell Sixu." He Tian agreed. He looked at Siyan with heartache. He was obviously not much older than Sixu, but he had always shouldered the responsibility of being an older brother. He always thought about Sixu and wanted to take responsibility for everything alone.
Si Yan felt a little relieved. "Uncle He, I know what to do. I can't be with my brother now. You go and keep him company. I'm fine. I can take care of myself. Also...can you go see my mother? I'm a little worried about her."
"I'm going to see your mother next to see how she is doing. After that, I'll go to accompany Sixu and your sister Xiaosui." It's easy to talk to a smart child. At the beginning, Siyan cried in fear, and He Tian was worried that he couldn't accept it.
I didn't expect him to accept it so quickly and understand it even faster. He didn't ask too many questions and got it right away.
He Tian stood up and threw the tissue and cotton swab in his hand into the trash can. He touched Si Yan's head and said, "Are you hungry? I'll ask them to bring you some food."
Siyan nodded.
He Tian breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and leave when Si Yan suddenly called him.
"Uncle He."
"Is my father still healthy? Is he really fully recovered? He can watch us grow up, right?"
"Of course." He Tian replied in a relaxed tone, "Rather than worrying about your father's health, you should be more concerned about yourself right now. Stop overthinking and get some rest."
Si Yan was very obedient. When he was told to have a good rest, he lay down and curled up in the quilt, leaving only his eyes looking at him.
When He Tian met Si Yan's eyes, he inexplicably had the illusion that Si Yan had seen through his heart. He even wondered if Si Yan already knew that Gu Wanqiu had used them to poison Li Jinxing.
Otherwise... why would you ask these three questions for no reason?
Fortunately, Li Jinxing's health has really improved, and he did not lie to Siyan.
He Tian walked out of the room and closed the door gently. He raised his trembling hands. Half of the work was done. He just needed to proceed according to the original plan. This time, he believed that Li Jinxing would let Gu Wanqiu leave.
Obviously everything was going well, but he was still tense and couldn't completely relax.
The last thing he wanted was to involve a young child, but this time he still involved Si Yan.
Thinking of Siyan's swollen face, the aggrieved look in her eyes, and the flash of fear in her eyes when she inadvertently mentioned Li Jinxing.
What the future will be like after Gu Wanqiu leaves... He Tian couldn't imagine, but maybe it would be better than now.
It's good for both parties, no, it's good for everyone.
Gu Wanqiu no longer has to suffer and dies peacefully. Li Jinxing gradually forgets her, and the children remember her and think of her occasionally. They have a brand new life. The most important thing is that Li Jinxing will no longer hurt the children because of Gu Wanqiu.
Everything returned to the way it was in those ten years, the ten years without Gu Wanqiu.
He Tian did not go to see Gu Wanqiu immediately. After all, Li Jinxing was still here. If he went in, Li Jinxing would think too much.
So he went to find Sixu and took him to the baby room to see Xiaosui. He Tian held the child skillfully and coaxed him. Sixu also stretched out her hand and gently held her sister's pink and tender little hand.
My sister doesn’t look like my father. She looks like my mother from the past. The photo that my father keeps in his wallet is of my mother when she was young. At that time, my mother had not yet had plastic surgery.
He Tian also discovered that the eyes and nose were exactly like those carved out of Gu Wanqiu's mold.
If they look alike at such a young age, then when they grow up... isn't it said that girls look like their fathers?
I don’t know if it’s because of genes, but all three children are easy to take care of and are very obedient, never noisy or noisy. Gu Sui rarely cries, so he doesn’t cause much worry for the nanny.
"Even without your mother... you have to be fine..." He Tian muttered, and Si Xu who was standing beside him heard it but didn't hear it clearly.
"Uncle He, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing..." He Tian suddenly woke up, and it seemed that he had accidentally said what was in his heart.
Worried that Sixu would ask more questions, He Tian diverted his attention: "I just went to see your brother."
Si Xu asked anxiously: "Where is my brother? Is he okay?"
"He's asleep upstairs. He's fine, just has a slight cold. He's already finished his IV drip. He's afraid he might infect you, so he didn't come down."
