Hospital, inpatient department, nurses' station.
"Hello, could you tell me which ward Chen Wei is in?" Xing Zhaoming asked the nurse.
"You are..." the nurse asked.
“My name is Xing Zhaoming, and I am her husband,” Xing Zhaoming said.
"Oh, it's Mr. Xing." The nurse's eyes lit up, and she pretended to check. "Ms. Chen Wei is in room 625. Take the elevator to the sixth floor from here, and walk to the end of the corridor on your right after you exit."
"Thank you," Xing Zhaoming said, then turned and left.
As soon as he left, the nurse took out her phone and made a call: "Hello? Dr. Wen? This is Xiaomei. Mr. Xing, whom you mentioned before, has just arrived..."
This wasn't Xing Zhaoming's first time at the hospital. He quickly found room 625, took a deep breath at the door, knocked, and went inside.
Besides Chen Wei, Xing Jiashu and Chen Hao were also present in the ward.
Chen Hao had originally planned to go back after seeing Chen Wei, but knowing that Xing Zhaoming would return as soon as possible, he waited here on purpose.
"Zhaoming, you're back! How come you're back so soon?" Chen Wei was overjoyed to see Xing Zhaoming.
Xing Zhaoming looked at Chen Wei and thought of Xing Zhaozhao, but he couldn't muster any enthusiasm. He just nodded slightly and said, "Hongfei arranged a private jet for me."
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Hao and greeted him, "Big Brother."
Not to mention Chen Wei, even Chen Hao keenly sensed Xing Zhaoming's unusually cold attitude. He frowned slightly, nodded lightly, and replied, "Mm."
The smile on Chen Wei's face had vanished. Looking at him anxiously, she asked, "Zhaoming? What's wrong?"
Xing Zhaoming looked at Chen Wei with a serious expression: "There's something I want to confirm with you, and I hope you can tell me the truth."
Chen Hao and Xing Jiashu sensed something was wrong and both frowned deeply.
Chen Wei guessed what was going on, and her heart clenched. Although unwilling, she had to pretend she knew nothing and forced herself to ask, "What is it?"
"Back when Mingcheng and I were still on the front lines in the south, did Zhaozhao ever write to you asking for help?" Xing Zhaoming asked.
Chen Hao and Xing Jiashu realized something, their pupils contracted, and they both looked at Chen Wei.
It really was that matter.
Chen Wei's face turned pale instantly, and she pursed her lips, unsure of how to answer.
Just then, the door to the ward opened, and Wen Sinan walked in with bright, sparkling eyes.
Hearing the noise, everyone in the ward turned to look at her.
Chen Wei, in particular, looked at Wen Sinan and her eyes lit up, as if she had seen a savior.
Wen Sinan had only come by to listen to some gossip and didn't want to attract so much attention.
She gave a stiff tug at the corner of her mouth and said, "Looks like you have something important to discuss. I'm just here to do a simple check-up for the patient. It's not important. You two talk first." After saying that, she took two steps back, putting on an expression that said, "I'm fine. You two talk. Just pretend I don't exist." She just wouldn't leave.
Chen Hao glared at her, his eyes clearly telling her to leave.
Wen Sinan turned her head away, pretending not to know.
Chen Hao: "..." If he didn't know that she had a close relationship with the Gao family, he would never have given her that face.
Xing Zhaoming didn't care much. Wen Sinan also had photos of Zhaozhao. Given the relationship between the two families, they probably already knew most of what they should and shouldn't know, so there was nothing to hide.
He glanced at Wen Sinan, then turned back to Chen Wei and continued to press, "Is it true or not? Yes is yes, no is no. There shouldn't be any difficulty in answering this, right?"
Disappointed, Chen Wei turned her gaze away from Wen Sinan and met Xing Zhaoming's eager look. She gritted her teeth and said, "No, I don't know if Zhaozhao has sent me any letters. I have never received any."
She made up her mind to deny it to the death. If she admitted it, her relationship with Xing Zhaoming would probably be over. Anyway, so many years have passed and they have no evidence. Even if Xing Zhaozhao came in person, it would be useless. Who would believe that she was Xing Zhaozhao?
Chen Hao's face darkened as he looked at Xing Zhaoming with displeasure. He said, "Zhaoming, you can't come back and question Weiwei just because you've heard some rumors outside. You've been married to Weiwei for so many days, and you even have a great-grandchild. Don't you know what kind of person Weiwei is? When your sister passed away, she was even more heartbroken than you and fell ill."
“Yes, Zhao Zhao is gone. She was so heartbroken that she fell ill. But in the five years before that, she never cared about Zhao Zhao, and she didn’t even send anything to Zhao Zhao during holidays. Was she really heartbroken, or was she just feeling guilty and scared?” Xing Zhaoming’s eyes were red as she stared intently at Chen Wei, hoping she could give her an answer.
Chen Hao opened his mouth, trying to refute, but couldn't find a reason. What he said... seemed to make sense.
Chen Hao frowned in confusion and looked at Chen Wei, hoping for an explanation.
Chen Wei retorted, "Whether she sent it or not, I just didn't receive it. Unless you provide evidence to prove that I received it, don't try to smear me."
Chen Hao's heart sank. He knew his sister's temper all too well. If she really hadn't done anything wrong and was in the right, she would have started crying and making a scene, demanding some compensation. She wouldn't be wasting her breath talking to him like this. There was probably something going on that he couldn't quite figure out.
Xing Zhaoming wasn't in a hurry. He turned to Xing Jiashu and asked, "Jiashu, do you remember receiving any letters from your aunt that were sent to your home in the capital when you were little?"
Xing Jiashu had already realized the seriousness of the situation and subconsciously shook his head: "No..."
Chen Wei smiled smugly, looking like a petty person who had achieved their goal.
A long-forgotten memory suddenly flashed through his mind, and Xing Jiashu's expression changed abruptly. His throat tightened, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I remember now..."
