Chapter 260 Apologize to My Wife
Lin Zhixin's face turned pale, and her heart clenched tightly.
Of course she knew Xie Jinghuai's methods, and it was precisely because she knew that she was determined to fight to the end.
Having finally reached this point, having finally won his favor and trust, she absolutely could not afford to fail. If her carefully constructed image collapsed, all the scheming she and her mother had done over the past five years would have been for nothing!
"Brother Jinghuai... I didn't, I really didn't! I don't know anything!"
Lin Zhixin was crying so hard she was almost breathless, her hands trembling as she clutched her heaving chest. "I've been by your side for five years... Others have looked down on me, slandered me, but Jinghuai-ge, can't you see who I am? I'd risk my life for you..."
Xie Jinghuai silently glared at her, his handsome brows furrowed with agitation.
They keep going on and on, repeating the same old things over and over. If I keep listening, my ears will get calluses.
For the past five years, he has truly held Lin Zhixin, his benefactor, in his heart. Even if she doesn't say it, he will remember her until his death. It was Lin Zhixin who sacrificed half her life to give him a second chance at life.
Lately, however, Lin Zhixin has been bringing up this matter frequently, as if it were an invisible pressure and constraint on him.
He was indeed grateful to her, but he really disliked her constantly bringing up the matter of gratitude. What he wanted was pure affection between them; he didn't want Lin Zhixin's image in his heart to crumble, and he didn't want this gratitude to become tainted.
"Brother Jinghuai, I swear to God!"
With tears in her eyes, Lin Zhixin held up three fingers. "If I lied to you... may I be sickly for the rest of my life and die a horrible death!"
Seeing her swearing at him, Xie Jinghuai pursed his thin lips, his tone softening slightly:
"It doesn't have to be that bad, Zhixin, you don't need to get so agitated."
Lin Zhixin wiped away her tears with a wronged expression, a dark smile creeping onto her face.
Of course she dared to curse herself, because she wasn't sick at all!
However, Xie Jinghuai will never know this secret. A "gratitude" and an "illness" are enough for her to control this man for a lifetime!
Just as Xie Jinghuai was about to say something, the ward door opened, and Lin Chengchou walked out with a stiff expression:
"Xinxin, your mother has woken up."
The next second, he suddenly stopped, "Jing... Jing Huai? You're still here?"
Xie Jinghuai's expression was somber, revealing neither joy nor anger. "Hmm."
Lin Chengchou glanced at his daughter, whose cheeks were flushed, and immediately gave her a grateful yet helpless smile:
"Jinghuai, did you stay because you were worried about Xinxin? Sigh, tonight was a mess, but at least Xinxin had you by her side."
"Chairman Lin."
Xie Jinghuai's eyes were cold and indifferent. "I have something to say to Madam Lin. I'll leave after I'm done."
Lin Zhixin's heart skipped a beat in panic.
Lin Chengchou sensed something was wrong and gave a dry laugh, "Jinghuai, she just woke up and is still very weak. How about another day..."
The man said firmly, "No, it has to be today."
Lin Chengchou's forehead was covered in sweat. He had no choice but to bring Xie Jinghuai into the ward, with Lin Zhixin following closely behind.
Liu Nianrou was terrified at the sight of Xie Jinghuai, but it was too late to play dead. She could only feign weakness and struggle to sit up.
"Jing, Jinghuai..."
"Mom, please take care of yourself and don't move around too much." Lin Zhixin hurriedly stepped forward to help her up; both mother and daughter looked pitiful to behold.
"Mrs. Lin, I've come to inform you of two things."
Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes were dark and lifeless. Beneath the diamond cufflinks, his large hands were clenched, knuckles white. "First, you must give my wife an explanation for hiring paparazzi to take pictures of her. Apologizing in person is a must. After you are discharged from the hospital, I will take you to see my wife. Adults must be responsible for their actions and not always try to run away."
The Lin family mother and daughter froze instantly, and Liu Nianrou blushed with embarrassment and anger.
She tried to argue, but Xie Jinghuai delivered another resounding blow:
"Secondly, I will not divorce A-Yuan. You should stop using those underhanded methods as soon as possible. I can't stand dirty things."
