After leaving the hospital, Song Li asked Ning Anyi to send Liu Zhiyuan and the maid home first.
Liu Zhiyuan looked at her aunt's still pale face and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I'll take you home first. Aunt didn't have lunch. Do you want me to make you some nutritious soup?"
Song Li shook her head and whispered, "No, Xiaoyuan, I'll take you home first. You're pregnant and you'll get tired easily. Don't worry about me, I'll just go home and rest."
Liu Zhiyuan still couldn't rest assured. She really treated her aunt as a relative: "Then let the maid by my side accompany you and take care of you for a few days?"
Song Li still refused, not daring to look into Liu Zhiyuan's sincere eyes, and just said softly: "I really don't need it. I'm not used to having strangers accompany me."
Ya Tong quickly whispered, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I will take good care of my aunt. Although I am not in good health, I have a boyfriend now. Anyi will help take care of my aunt."
Afterwards, she smiled gently at Ning Anyi, with a hint of coquettishness in her words: "Anyi, is it okay?"
Ning Anyi was driving. He turned his head to look at her elegant appearance, and the corners of his lips immediately rose. "Of course."
Yatong smiled at Liu Zhiyuan again, "Sister-in-law, can you rest assured now? Let's take you home to rest first?"
Liu Zhiyuan had to nod, “Okay, if your aunt is not feeling well, you can call me.”
night.
Song Li tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
Today she pretended to faint because she really couldn't bear to hurt Liu Zhiyuan and the innocent little life in her belly.
Her hands were already stained with blood, and after so many years, she still hadn't been able to clear the sin in her heart. If there was still blood, she wouldn't be able to spend the rest of her life in peace.
Although this was Xiao Tong's masterpiece, she didn't want to see an innocent little life disappear in front of her eyes.
She can't do it!
It seems to be snowing outside the window again. This winter, the weather is very cold and heavy snow falls one after another.
She lay in bed thinking a lot, all messy thoughts.
The mistakes she had made were like a dense web that always easily tortured her every breath.
So tired, really tired.
The door of the next room opened and she listened.
Hearing Xiao Tong's footsteps, she felt a little strange. What was she doing outside at night?
Yatong's footsteps became farther and farther away, until she could no longer hear them.
Song Li looked at the time. It was already twelve o'clock in the evening. She couldn't figure out where Xiao Tong would go. Worried about Xiao Tong, she got up. She didn't even have time to wrap herself in cotton clothes. She went downstairs in her pajamas.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window downstairs, Yatong's thin figure stood motionless.
Song Li felt a little distressed and immediately went forward to turn on the crystal chandelier in the hall.
Yatong suddenly came back to her senses. Unable to adapt to the sudden bright light, she subconsciously reached out to cover her eyes.
She didn't look back. She heard footsteps and knew it was her aunt coming downstairs. She whispered, "Aunt, why aren't you sleeping? It's so cold, what are you doing downstairs?"
Song Li, who was wearing thin pajamas, quickly turned on the air conditioner in the hall and took a blanket from the sofa to cover her.
She was very concerned about Yatong. "You know it's night time, why don't you sleep? It's so cold, go to bed early."
Yatong lowered her little face, but her trembling shoulders revealed her mood at the moment.
Song Lixin became nervous and raised her little face, then saw tears of sadness on her face. She hugged her and asked distressedly, "What's wrong, Xiaotong? Why are you crying?"
Ya Tong wiped her tears, pursed her lips in self-mockery, and then asked weakly, "Aunt, do you think Xiao Tong is particularly bad? You are also beginning to dislike Xiao Tong in your heart, right?"
Song Li shook her head: "How could that be? What are you talking about?"
Ya Tong smiled bitterly, then looked into her aunt's eyes and said word by word, "Actually, I know you can tell that there is something wrong with that glass of milk, so you pretended to faint, right?"
Song Li was startled, then dodged his gaze a few times awkwardly, and finally sighed helplessly, "In fact, some things should be let go as much as possible. You are such a beautiful girl, you deserve better love. Mr. Ning is very good to you, considerate and attentive, why are you like this?"
Yatong suddenly laughed again, and her smile was very sad. She murmured, "Do you really think letting go is such a simple thing?"
Song Li was speechless.
Surely she knew that letting go was also a torment? She herself was like that. After all these years, she still couldn't let go of her mistakes.
Yatong looked at the snow outside the window and said softly, "An Yi is really good, but he is not the person in my heart. After all, he can't replace the person in my heart. Aunt, you watched me grow up since I was a child. You also witnessed the relationship between me and Brother Ling very early. We were so good at that time. How can I let go of the deep feelings between me and Brother Ling?"
Song Li also sighed, "But Ling is married now. He has Liu Zhiyuan and a baby."
Ya Tong curled her lips slightly,
Married? Liu Zhiyuan? Nothing in this world is permanent. As for the baby you mentioned, it's indeed a problem, which is why I drugged the milk.
Brother Ling is a responsible man. The reason he's with Liu Zhiyuan now is because of the baby. His sense of responsibility for the baby makes it impossible for him to let go of the marriage. I believe that if there were no baby, Brother Ling would definitely re-evaluate his feelings for Liu Zhiyuan.
Song Li didn't know how to refute her, so she just looked at her and sighed.
Yatong continued,
"Just a year ago, my brother Ling married Liu Zhiyuan. What about me? How many years have I known him? How deep is our relationship? I don't believe that brother Ling will forget our feelings in just a few years.
So I think the key to the problem is the baby in Liu Zhiyuan's belly.
Brother Ling once hated his father, so he naturally didn't want to put himself in the same situation as his father, whom he once hated.
Song Li closed her eyes helplessly, opened them again, and murmured,
“So, you didn’t hesitate to get your hands stained with blood? You want the child to disappear. But Xiao Tong, have you ever thought about it? Your brother Ling likes your simple and quiet appearance the most. Once you become so scary, will he still like you?”
Ya Tong curled her lips, a trace of calculation flashed in her eyes.
"Yes, of course I've thought about all sorts of things. That's why I deliberately drugged Liu Zhiyuan when she came to the villa. The drug I gave her was actually an imported painkiller that I often take. It won't affect a normal person, but it can cause miscarriage in pregnant women.
I am sure that even if Liu Zhiyuan's child died in front of us, Brother Ling would not believe that I deliberately hurt Liu Zhiyuan.
I will just tell him that Liu Zhiyuan accidentally picked up the wrong milk cup."
Song Li saw deep red hatred in her eyes, and she shuddered subconsciously. She thought Xiao Tong was a little strange.
