Chapter 227 An Eternal Straight Line
Upon hearing this, Zhai Jin followed his lazy gaze and looked back, only to see Lin Pingwan, who was tied up, huddled in the back seat, looking at Du Yuanzhou in horror.
Du Yuanzhou sighed softly, his tone revealing a hint of hypocritical pity. "They are all beautiful women, as beautiful as flowers and jade, but it's a pity that they are no longer beautiful so quickly. It's all because of their vicious minds."
"You have to thank me. Lao Jiang wants to throw you into the sea to feed the sharks, leaving no bones behind. I am the only one who feels sorry for you."
It is easy for them to make a person disappear from the world without leaving any trace.
He understood what Lao Jiang meant, which was to silence the two men.
However, he couldn't completely guarantee whether other families in Hai City were secretly watching them, so he thought of giving the vicious sisters to his fourth uncle.
Anyway, Fourth Uncle never refuses any hot potato, which is a sign of his cold-hearted and evil taste.
A life worse than death is more interesting than death itself.
As he spoke, the car door slowly closed, and his figure disappeared from the desperate sight of the two people in the car, waiting for their fate to be determined.
With the disappearance of Zhai Jin and Lin Pingwan, the Jiang family joined forces with the other three families to terminate all cooperation with the Zhai and Lin families. The two families were in a desperate situation and asked for help from others everywhere.
But businessmen are all shrewd people. Who would dare to help them at gunpoint and go against the signal released by the Jiang family? What's more, some people see that the building is about to collapse, and various forces are encroaching on the business of the Zhai and Lin families and adding insult to injury.
In just a few days, the Zhai and Lin families were burdened with huge debts, and the two relatives took away the only remaining assets on the company's books.
As the parents of the culprit, Zhai's father and mother were pushed out by the two families, and all the blame for the company's huge debt was thrown on the two of them, leading to a fight between them.
In the end, the two were sentenced to decades in prison and died in prison under the manipulation of the Jiang family.
Without the Zhai and Lin families' indulgence towards Zhai Jin and the power they provided her, there would be no situation today. Jiang Shibai adopted the system of collective responsibility to kill all of them and uproot them.
All the disturbances of the outside world were isolated outside the hospital. Xu Xian stood at the door of the ICU almost the whole day, looking at Zhang Wan inside through a piece of glass.
Jiang Shibai couldn't bear to watch her exhausting herself in a suicidal manner, so she went to sleep only when her eyelids could no longer hold up. No matter what he did, he couldn't take her away.
I could only hand over most of the work at hand to the vice president and stay by her side all the time.
She shed tears silently, as if she wanted to keep all the tears in her life in the quiet corridor.
They say that more devout prayers have been heard within the walls of a hospital than within a church.
Perhaps it was the gods in heaven who heard her prayers day and night, but on the afternoon of the fourth day after her mother fell into a coma, the warm spring sun shone through the thick clouds, leaving a glimmer of hope in the world.
Her mother's wrinkled fingers twitched slightly, opening her heavy eyelids.
Good news and bad news.
They all knew clearly that this was her mother's last glimmer of life and the last time they would see each other.
Xu Xian and Jiang Shibai wore antibacterial suits with serious expressions on their faces, and walked step by step towards Zhang Wan, who had woken up but could not utter a word, with extremely heavy steps.
They stood beside her bed, and Xu Xian knelt down, his knees hitting the floor with a dull sound.
Seeing this, Jiang Shibai wanted to pull her up, but he knew that this was her choice. Perhaps she was really blaming herself for listening to Zhai Jin's words of sowing discord and thinking that she was indirectly hurting her mother.
This is her way of atonement.
Then he knelt beside her neatly, his back straight.
Xu Xian held those soft hands, tears streaming down his face, and choked out, "Mom, I'm sorry."
Zhang Wan's eyes were filled with tears as she lay on the hospital bed. She could feel the strength in her body slowly fading away. There was no blame in her loving eyes. Her lips moved under the respirator, but no sound came out.
Xu Xian knew what she wanted to ask, and suppressing the grief in his heart, he told her the whole story of what happened a few months ago.
The scabbed scar was reopened, and instead of bright red blood flowing again, it was completely healed skin.
The tears in Zhang Wan's eyes dripped from the corners of her eyes, soaking the pillow.
If it weren't for her illness, her son Xianxian would not have been cheated for a business deal.
She never believed what Zhai Jin said from beginning to end.
I don't know what happened that night, but I was furious when I heard Zhai Jin calling her a bitch and a bed-climber, and I felt sorry for what happened to her son Xianxian.
Xu Xian frantically wiped it with paper, as if he knew what she was thinking. He lifted her hand and put it against her face, "Mom, it's all over. I beat them all up, and Shi Bai also helped me get revenge. Everything is going in the right direction."
"You will get better... too. Didn't we agree that after the wedding, we would go see Dad together? You take good care of yourself, and we'll go together, okay?"
Zhang Wan knew that her last sentence was just self-deception. She moved her fingers slightly and rubbed her tear-stained cheek lovingly, just like when she wiped her tears when she was a child.
Xu Xian seemed to remember something and asked cautiously, "Mom, will you be disappointed in me?"
She remembered Zhai Jin saying that her mother's eyes were full of disappointment, and she was afraid that her mother would think she did not love herself, so in order to meet her immediate needs, she got into Jiang Shibai's car without hesitation.
It goes against the education she received since childhood.
Zhang Wan moved her head with difficulty and shook her head.
How could she be disappointed in her? She just felt sorry for her and for not protecting her well enough and fulfilling her responsibilities and obligations as a mother.
Hearing this, Xu Xian's tears burst out like a dam, and all of them flowed down from his eyes. He pouted like a child, "I knew she was lying to me. Mom loves me the most, wuwu..."
Her crying made Zhang Wan and Jiang Shibai at a loss. Jiang Shibai hurriedly wiped her tears and coaxed her in a low voice.
The time was very short. Xu Xian tried to stop crying, but tears kept falling one after another.
She knew clearly that she would never have the chance to cry in front of her mother again.
Zhang Wan looked at her for a while, then turned her confused gaze to Jiang Shibai.
She didn't know what he was thinking. She wondered if one day, when they were seemingly in harmony but spiritually distant, he would bring up Xianxian's past frivolous behavior and speak ill of her.
Xianxian invited him, but he couldn't control his lower body. Isn't that unreliable?
Will I make the same decision with other women who are ambitious to devote their bodies to me in the future?
On her deathbed, she was still making plans for Xianxian's future, worrying about so many things and having so much to worry about.
Jiang Shibai understood what she meant and said in a serious tone, "Mom, I can tell you for sure that I was happy with what I did that night. I knew her a long time ago, and it wasn't just driven by desire."
"I also remember the promise I made to you. Don't worry, I will take care of her for the rest of my life, love her and cherish her. I will do what I say and never break my promise."
Zhang Wan looked at him deeply. Even though she was worried, she had no choice but to entrust Xianxian to him.
During the rest of the time, Xu Xian chattered a lot, and Zhang Wan listened with a loving look on her face, occasionally moving her fingers to respond to her.
But there are endless words to say, but life has an end.
The heart monitor beeped, and the undulating waves became an eternal straight line.
