Knowing she was unwelcome, Xing Zhaozhao didn't linger. She put down the fruit basket and quickly left, saying, "Sorry to bother you."
Xing Zhaoming pulled back the covers and looked at Chen Wei, who was curled up in a ball inside, with a puzzled expression. He asked, "What exactly happened, Weiwei?"
"How did she know I was here?" Chen Wei asked.
“This is a military hospital. Gao Mingcheng’s ward is right next door,” Xing Zhaoming said.
She's been next door the whole time?
Chen Wei couldn't stay in bed any longer and immediately sat up abruptly: "I'm not going to be hospitalized anymore, I want to go home."
Xing Zhaoming frowned, not understanding what Chen Wei was up to: "She just checked in, and she still has to have a check-up tomorrow."
"I don't want to, I just want to go home," Chen Wei shouted stubbornly, a rare occurrence for her.
"Please, Zhaoming, I really want to go home. I don't want to stay here anymore." She looked at Xing Zhaoming with tears in her eyes and pleaded desperately.
Xing Zhaoming met her tearful eyes and, unable to refuse her any longer, nodded in agreement: "Alright..."
Chen Wei jumped off the bed instantly, as if she were a spring.
Xing Zhaoming: "..." Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?
Xing Zhaoming noticed Chen Wei's unusual behavior and thought of Xing Zhaozhao who had just left; a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
Xing Zhaozhao stood at the ward door, munching on an apple, watching Xing Jiashu, along with Xing Zhaoming, accompany Chen Wei out of the next ward carrying their belongings. She asked, puzzled, "Weren't you supposed to be hospitalized? Why are you leaving so soon?"
Xing Jiashu chuckled dryly and turned to look at Chen Wei.
Chen Wei glanced at Xing Zhaozhao, then quickly looked away, pulling Xing Jiashu and Xing Zhaoming along as they eagerly left: "Let's go."
They looked as if they'd seen a ghost.
Xing Zhaozhao didn't understand, turned around and went back to the ward, and said to Gao Mingcheng, "It's so strange, my sister-in-law only stayed in the hospital for one day, and then she rushed out of the hospital and went back home. She just saw me and acted like she had seen a ghost."
"You didn't provoke her?" Gao Mingcheng asked.
"Knowing she doesn't like me, I'm trying to avoid her as much as possible, why would I provoke her?" Xing Zhaozhao glared at Gao Mingcheng, thinking he had asked a stupid question.
Gao Mingcheng looked at Xing Zhaozhao seriously: "Zhaozhao, is there something you and your sister-in-law are hiding from me?"
Xing Zhaozhao's eyes flashed, and she quickly munched on her apple, then guiltily looked away: "What could possibly happen between her and me..."
Gao Mingcheng: "..." It's obvious at a glance.
However, since Xing Zhaozhao didn't say anything, Gao Mingcheng didn't press her for details. He was waiting for the day when she would be willing to tell him herself.
Still preoccupied with Xing Zhaozhao's matter, Chen Wei couldn't sleep well that night, even after returning home.
The next day, taking advantage of the fact that no one was home, Chen Wei quietly went out and went to Qingshan Mental Hospital to find Lin Wan.
As the only person in Qingshan Mental Hospital who needs special attention, Lin Wan is naturally not someone who is easy to see.
"You want to see my mother?" Chen Xiaoxia came over to see Chen Wei first.
Chen Wei nodded, and seeing Chen Xiaoxia in her caregiver uniform, she was somewhat surprised and asked, "I didn't expect you to work here?"
Chen Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Anyway, my daughter and mother are here, so working here is the best choice."
"You know what happened yesterday. My mom is still in solitary confinement, so it's probably inconvenient for her to let you see her," Chen Xiaxia said apologetically to Chen Wei.
"Can't you be a little more accommodating?" Chen Wei asked. "I came here this time to make things clear to her once and for all, and I don't want to have anything to do with her again."
Chen Xiaoxia hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid I can't make that decision."
"Then let's find someone who can make the decision," Chen Wei said.
Chen Xiaoxia thought for a moment and said, "Then wait a while."
After saying that, she got up and went to the side to make a phone call. A moment later, she came back with her phone, handed it to Chen Wei, and said, "He wants to talk to you."
Chen Wei reached out and took it with a puzzled look: "Hello?"
"It's me, Auntie," Gao Hongfei's voice came from the phone.
Chen Wei's heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm: "So it's Hongfei."
"Does your uncle know that you went to see Lin Wan again, Aunt?" Gao Hongfei asked.
“I left in a hurry today and didn’t have time to tell him. But if you want to tell him, I don’t mind. The reason I came to see Lin Wan this time was to make things clear with her. Just this once, there won’t be a next time,” Chen Wei said.
Gao Hongfei pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know if I can still trust you."
“I swear to you, if I’m lying, may I break up with your uncle and go my separate ways,” Chen Wei said.
Gao Hongfei immediately fell silent. Everyone who knew him knew that his aunt valued her relationship with his uncle the most, even putting her sons and grandsons second.
"Give the phone to Chen Xiaoxia," Gao Hongfei said.
Chen Wei handed the phone to Chen Xiaoxia.
Chen Xiaoxia took the phone, brought it to her ear, and heard Gao Hongfei instruct: "Arrange for them to meet."
Lin Wan was so desperate from being locked up that she never expected to have a chance to see Chen Wei again. She immediately rushed over with great joy: "You've finally come..."
Chen Wei winked at her.
Lin Wan turned her head and glanced at the caregiver who was standing warily to the side. She immediately calmed down, pretended to be nonchalant, and sat down in the chair opposite her. She said, "You're here." Then she lowered her voice and called out in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Quickly find a way to get me out of here."
"Don't worry, this can't be resolved in a short time. Give me some time to think of a solution," Chen Wei said through gritted teeth.
Lin Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chen Wei did not refuse: "Then let's think of a solution quickly."
"Tell me first what you meant when you said on the phone yesterday that Xing Zhaozhao is back?" Chen Wei asked.
"Of course, it means exactly what it says." Lin Wan knew Chen Wei was scared when she asked about it, and she couldn't help but smile smugly, confident that she could continue to control her.
"How could such a mysterious thing exist in this world? Where did you hear about it?" Chen Wei continued to ask.
“She admitted it herself,” Lin Wan said.
Chen Wei: "??" What the heck? She said, and you actually believed her?
“They not only look exactly alike, but they also have the same natural strength. Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence that these coincidences have come together?” Lin Wan asked.
"..." Chen Wei herself couldn't explain it clearly for a moment.
"Even if you don't believe in these things, you should at least believe in Gao Mingcheng, right? Do you really think he's the kind of person who would go crazy just because he sees someone who looks like your sister-in-law?" Lin Wan continued to ask.
Chen Wei's pupils contracted. This was, in fact, the most convincing reason.
Chen Wei hadn't noticed it until Lin Wan mentioned it. Now, thinking about it carefully, the only time she saw Gao Mingcheng interact with that woman did indeed feel strangely familiar.
Could it be... true?
When Chen Wei left the mental hospital, she still felt a chill run down her spine.
Lin Wan's last words still echoed in her ears: "Find a way to get me out of here quickly. You can't handle her by yourself. We have to work together, understand?"
Recalling her recent encounters with Xing Zhaozhao, Chen Wei noticed that her attitude towards her was almost unchanged from before. Her eyes flickered. Rather than cooperating with Lin Wan, this venomous spider, she felt that she might as well go directly to her sister-in-law. She believed that Lin Wan would not want to see her brother's happy family fall apart.
