Chapter 144 I can protect you in the future
On the way to Xing Yingxue's house, Lin Yan learned about it from Xing Yu.
After Xing Yingxue and Song Yanzheng remarried, they gave birth to a daughter who is only three months old.
Song Yanzheng joined Xing's company, Xing Zhonghua stepped down, and he and Xing Mo took over the company together.
But Xing Mo's mind was not on the company at all. Although he held the title of President of Xing Group, all matters of the company, big and small, were basically handled by the Vice President Song Yanzheng.
Song Yanzheng is a man of meticulous mind, knows how to read people's expressions, and knows how to please his elders. In addition, he has good abilities as well. With his methods, he should be able to do very well.
When I arrived at Xing Yingxue's house, I happened to see the private doctor leaving.
The child was sleeping in the crib with a large piece of gauze wrapped around his head. The white gauze was slightly seeping with blood.
Xing Yingxue lay there with red eyes, guarding the child.
Xing Yu walked into the room, looked at the sleeping Song Nanxin, and asked, "What happened?"
Xing Yingxue lowered her voice and reminded him: "Brother, be quiet, Nan Nan just fell asleep. Let's talk outside."
When Xing Yingxue stood up, she found that there was someone standing at the door.
After looking at each other for a moment, Xing Yingxue's expression paused slightly, and then her face became a little colder.
Lin Yan looked at Xing Yingxue, who was bare-faced and haggard, and felt a little dazed for a moment.
It's only been over a year since we last met, but Xing Yingxue has lost the elegance of a young lady and her face is full of fatigue.
Her figure and appearance remained the same, but the feeling she gave her was completely different from before.
Perhaps because she was afraid of disturbing the child, Xing Yingxue said nothing and walked out of the room without even looking at her.
In the living room, Xing Yingxue sat on the sofa for a long time before speaking to Xing Yu.
"Brother, I was giving Nannan a bath at night, and my foot slipped and I didn't hold her firmly. As a result, she fell to the ground and broke her head..."
Xing Yu: "What did the doctor say?"
"It's nothing serious, just a scratch."
"Why are you taking care of the child alone? Where is the babysitter?"
"She is on vacation today and has returned to her hometown." Xing Yingxue picked up the remaining half glass of water on the table, took a sip, and continued.
"Didn't my parents go to Europe a few days ago to attend the branch's ribbon-cutting ceremony? They weren't in Jingbei. I saw Nannan bleeding and panicked, so I called you."
Xing Yu sighed: "Where did Song Yanzheng go again?"
Xing Yingxue avoided his gaze and took another sip of water from her cup: "Yan Zheng is busy... He has to deal with all the big and small matters of the company... Don't bother him..."
There are some things that Xing Yu is too lazy to say.
If you hit the wall once and again, you will have to bear the consequences of getting a bloody head.
"Okay, I'm glad Nannan is okay." Xing Yu said little, and stood up from the sofa: "Call me if you have anything. I'm leaving."
Xing Yingxue asked, "How is Grandpa doing lately? I don't even have time to visit him."
"That's it."
"Brother." Xing Yingxue glanced at Lin Yan beside him and said, "You go out first. I want to talk to Lin Yan alone."
"No." Xing Yu refused decisively: "She and you have nothing to talk about."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to her."
Lin Yan, who had been silent the whole time, took over the conversation: "Okay, let's talk."
Xing Yu cast his gaze over, and Lin Yan gave him a reassuring look in return.
After exchanging glances, Xing Yu couldn't resist her and compromised.
"I'll wait for you outside. Call me if you need anything."
The atmosphere in the living room dropped to freezing point after Xing Yu left.
Lin Yan was frank and spoke first: "Let's talk, what do you want to talk about?"
Xing Yingxue stared at her with an unclear expression.
After a while, he twitched his lips and said, "Lin Yan, I thought you would be very angry when I saw you."
"What about the reality?"
"Actually?" Xing Yingxue looked thoughtful and honest, "Actually, I don't feel anything."
"It seems that you finally stop treating me as your imaginary enemy."
"I'm not unreasonable. I bothered you before because I thought you liked Yan Zheng." Xing Yingxue said calmly, "Since you're not interested in him, I have no reason to hate you. At most... I'm just jealous."
Lin Yan: "Isn't this what you want to talk to me about?"
"Yeah." Xing Yingxue's tone was calm. Even though she was very tired, her sitting posture was upright and elegant.
"Lin Yan, you should know that Grandpa is ill, right? His wish is to see my brother and Sister Shu En get married. I know that you and my brother love each other, but in this situation, Grandpa's health should be the priority."
Lin Yan saw through her thoughts: "Are you afraid that I'll marry Xing Yu and become Song Yanzheng's sister-in-law, and you'll mind if I can't see you?"
Xing Yingxue did not deny it and did not hide her selfish motives.
"Yes, that's one of the reasons. But the main reason is my brother. You know my brother's status in the Xing family. Once grandpa dies, there will be no one to protect him. Half a year ago, my brother was seriously injured by Xing Mo, and my father didn't say a bad word about Xing Mo."
"If my brother were to go against their will and force himself to be with you, he wouldn't gain anything. The Shu family is powerful and on par with the Xing family. At least his marriage to Sister Shu En will make the whole family happy. With that connection to the Shu family, Xing Mo won't dare to touch him easily in the future."
Speaking of this, Lin Yan asked by the way.
"What's the conflict between Xing Mo and Xing Yu?"
Xing Yingxue was hesitant at first, but then she thought there was nothing to hide, so she told them all.
"Actually, Xing Mo wasn't like this before he was fifteen. Although he would bully my brother back then, it was mostly joking and teasing."
"But for some reason, his temperament suddenly changed one day. He started picking on my brother and even yelling at me. From then on, our relationship gradually became distant..."
"Everyone in the family thought he was going through puberty and was just rebellious, and that he would get better after a while. But instead of getting better, his behavior got even weirder and crazier..."
"I won't go into the details, but he's made the whole family restless. But what I can't understand even more is that Grandpa and Mom and Dad just let him do what he wants, as if he has something on them... It's clearly Xing Mo's fault, but they always try to persuade my brother to give in..."
"My brother has a quiet personality and strong forbearance. He never shows his emotions, so he always maintains an attitude towards Xing Mo that he won't get angry unless you cross his line."
"But Xing Mo seems to be unwilling to give up unless he provokes me. A few years ago, he did something crazy that completely angered my brother..."
Lin Yan listened carefully and asked curiously: "What did you do?"
Xing Yingxue glanced towards the door and lowered her voice.
"Xing Mo sent people to Hongshui Village to dig up my brother's biological mother's grave..."
A flash of surprise crossed Lin Yan's eyes: "Digging a grave?"
How could someone do such a heartless thing?
"Yeah." Xing Yingxue frowned slightly and continued, "My brother was still in the army at the time, and everyone kept it a secret from him. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I contacted him secretly."
"When my brother rushed back, he was still wearing his army uniform... I've never seen him so out of control. He drove straight to Xing Mo with a murderous look on his face."
"My family was worried something might happen to him, so they drove after him. But it was too late. We watched helplessly as he hit Xing Mo at 80 mph in the city..."
"Later... Xing Mo was rushed to the hospital by his father. With desperate efforts to save his life, he lay in a vegetative state for several years... But I never thought he would be so resilient... and actually wake up..."
"After the incident, my father angrily slapped my brother several times in front of us. Even my grandfather, who always protected him, scolded him."
"Everyone was so busy caring for Xing Mo at the hospital that they forgot my brother was also injured after crashing into Xing Mo... That day, he dragged his injured body back to Hongshui Village alone. I was worried, so I bought the same flight and followed him all the way..."
"It was already dark when we arrived at Hongshui Village. I watched him walk to a dirt slope, kneel down with his head down, and fiddle with the loose earth. That was where his mother was buried, just a simple mound of earth, without even a tombstone..."
"My brother came to the Xing family when he was ten years old. No matter what happened, I never saw him express his emotions. But that night, I watched from afar as his shoulders kept shaking... Although it was just his back, I knew he was crying... He must have been very sad..."
After the voice fell, both of them fell into a brief silence.
Lin Yan felt a tightness in her chest.
She could even empathize.
Only those who have experienced sadness can empathize with sadness.
Xing Yingxue adjusted her mood and returned to the topic.
"So, Lin Yan, Xing Mo is a lunatic. My brother's collision almost cost him his life. He won't let it go. Even if it means risking his life, he will definitely do something even crazier to avenge my brother."
"You can't help my brother, and you will become a burden for him to deal with Xing Mo. But Sister Shu En is different. With the protection of the Shu family, Xing Mo will at least be wary of you..."
Lin Yan did not refute. Regardless of how Xing Yingxue treated her, there was one thing she and Xing Yingxue agreed on, which was that they both hoped for the best for Xing Yu.
Everything Xing Yingxue said was out of concern for Xing Yu.
She didn't give Xing Yingxue any response. In short, they parted on bad terms.
As she walked out of the room, Xing Yu's back, looking up at the moon, came into her sight.
Hearing the sound, Xing Yu turned around and looked at her, a gentle smile on his lips: "What did you talk about? It took so long."
"Nothing." Lin Yan smiled faintly: "Xing Yu, go home."
"Um."
Looking at Xing Yu's slow steps and heavy left leg, Lin Yan felt a surge of pain in her heart.
She stood still, her heart churning.
Seeing that she didn't catch up, Xing Yu turned around again: "Ayan?"
Lin Yan suddenly rushed towards him and put her hands through his waist.
"Xing Yu..."
"Um?"
"Not only did I recover from my illness... I also learned martial arts..."
"Really?" Xing Yu raised his voice, "Then let's have a discussion some other day."
"Xing Yu, what I mean is... I can protect you in the future..."
