Chapter 146 Are you truly sincere towards Xixi?
Song Xu recounted his story from the moment he met Song Chen until he discovered that Lin Xi's appearance and family background were very similar to Song Chen's sister. He even had a kinship test done for Song Chen and Lin's grandmother to confirm their relationship.
After Song Xu finished speaking, the ward fell silent.
Song Xu lowered his head and waited for the verdict.
Grandma Lin sighed, "Get up, all of you. This is fate, and it's your destiny."
"Grandma," Song Xu's eyes reddened, "you should hit me hard a couple of times, that will make me feel better."
Grandma Lin helped Song Xu up. "Chenchen saved you, and you've ensured he's had a comfortable life for over ten years. Grandma doesn't blame you; Grandma thanks you."
"Chenchen," Grandma Lin pulled Song Chen up as well, "The Song family has raised you for twelve years. They have put their heart into raising you to be so outstanding. You must always remember this kindness. Do as you have done in the past and continue to do so in the future. Don't let your adoptive parents feel heartbroken."
"Grandma can die in peace now that she can see you safe and sound," Grandma Lin turned and pulled the still dumbfounded Lin Xi to Song Chen's side. "Xi Xi is the little sister you brought back yourself. You have to protect her well from now on."
"Grandma, I will take good care of you and Xixi from now on," Song Chen said.
Grandma Lin looked at Bai Tiantian, who was standing at a distance, and asked, "Who is that little girl?"
Song Chen turned around and waved to Bai Tiantian, "Tiantian, come here."
Bai Tiantian wiped away her tears, walked to Song Chen's side, and bowed to Grandma Lin. "Hello, Grandma, I am Song Chen's fiancée, my name is Bai Tiantian."
Song Chen patted her head. "You finally admitted it."
Bai Tiantian turned her head and looked at Song Chen in surprise, "You already knew?"
Song Chen blinked. "I guessed it."
It turned out that the clown was herself. Bai Tiantian felt a tightness in her chest, but she couldn't show it in front of Grandma Lin, so she could only hold back for the time being.
"Sweetie, what a lovely name, and she's beautiful too," Grandma Lin was overjoyed to learn that Bai Sweetie was her future granddaughter-in-law. "Great! That's wonderful!"
Grandma Lin never expected that so many good things would happen to her after she woke up.
Song Xu stood next to Lin Xi and reached out to take her hand, but Lin Xi dodged it, and her gaze towards Song Xu became distant.
Song Xu's heart pounded, and he kept thinking back to the wrong thing he had just said. What was wrong with Lin Xi?
Unable to get any clear answers here, Song Xu was extremely anxious.
Song Chen suddenly noticed bruises on Grandma Lin's arm. He took her hand, pulled up her hospital gown, and revealed that her arm was covered with bruises of all sizes. "Grandma, how did you get this on your arm?"
Grandma Lin still doesn't know who did it. She withdrew her arm and said with a smile, "Actually, I should thank this person. If she hadn't been pinching my whole body so hard, I don't know when I would have woken up."
"The whole body?" Song Chen looked at Grandma Lin's legs again, and sure enough, they were covered in bruises, just like her arms.
"Xi Xi," Song Chen looked at Lin Xi, "who caused Grandma's injury? Was it the caregiver?"
Lin Xi just shook her head but didn't say anything.
"Xiao Xu, do you know?" Song Chen asked Song Xu instead when Lin Xi remained silent.
Song Xu frowned. "I know, but it's hard to say. It's better if you don't know."
After covering his grandmother with the blanket, Song Chen, with a gloomy face, said to Song Xu, "Come out with me for a moment."
Song Xu and Song Chen went out.
Bai Tiantian leaned closer to Lin Xi and whispered, "Xi Xi, I'm going to be your sister-in-law from now on."
"Hello, sister-in-law," Lin Xi greeted politely, then gave Bai Tiantian a strange look. "What's this about the fiancée? Are you hiding something from me too?"
“I’ll explain this to you later,” Bai Tiantian said, pulling Lin Xi’s small hand. “I definitely didn’t mean to lie to you.”
"I'll forgive you for now." Lin Xi looked listless and didn't say much more to Bai Tiantian.
"Xixi, Tiantian, do you know each other?" Grandma Lin asked curiously, seeing the two of them huddled together so intimately.
"Yes, we were college classmates and best friends," Bai Tiantian said with a smile.
Bai Tiantian felt that Grandma Lin was a particularly understanding old woman, so she reverted to her usual self and started chatting with Grandma Lin, while Lin Xi chimed in with a few words here and there.
She kept glancing at the door of the ward, wondering if Song Xu would tell her brother about Lu Yunqi.
Will her brother blame her for being too impulsive and causing big trouble?
When Song Chen, who was standing outside the door, finished listening to Song Xu's story, his face turned terribly gloomy. He had always treated Lu Yunqi like a younger sister, but he never expected that the person he was fond of was this kind of thing.
"Did Yunzhou really say that?" Song Chen didn't quite understand Lu Yunzhou's actions, but he agreed with them.
Song Xu nodded, "I've been busy with Grandma's affairs, so I don't know how things are going with the Lu family."
"Brother," Song Xu clenched his fists, "Are you blaming me?"
"Strange!" Song Chen glanced at him. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Maybe we could have found Grandma and Xixi sooner."
“Actually, I started looking for them two years ago, but unfortunately, the world is vast and I didn’t dare to make a big fuss, so I never got any leads,” Song Xu explained. “It’s strange, but when I saw Xixi, I felt like she was the little girl in the photo.”
"As you know, I tried every opportunity to get close to her. At first, I did a kinship test for you and Xixi. At that time, I didn't know that Xixi was taken in by you. Later, I heard her mention it and realized that I had made a mistake."
Song Chen glanced at him sideways, "When did Mom and Dad find out?"
Song Xu touched his nose, "When I decided to marry Lin Xi."
Song Chen snorted, "No wonder Mom and Dad agreed to your relationship with Xixi. You're using moral blackmail against them."
“How can you call it moral blackmail?” Song Xu protested. “What’s wrong with Xixi?”
That makes sense; how could his sister be any worse?
Song Chen was still uneasy. "Are you truly sincere towards Xixi? Or is it because of me?"
“Of course it’s true,” Song Xu said. “How could I treat feelings as a game?”
"That's good," Song Chen sneered. "I hope Xixi can believe you."
Song Xu was taken aback by Song Chen's words. So that's why. No wonder Xi Xi was so cold to him inside.
He needs to explain things clearly to Xixi.
...
Lu Yunzhou called Lu Zhentao that evening to tell him, "Dad, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Lu Zhentao said impatiently. "Speak quickly, stop beating around the bush."
"Then you should be mentally prepared." Lu Yunzhou sat by the hospital bed, staring at Lu Yunqi, whose head had been shaved and whose body was wrapped in bandages.
"If you don't tell me, I'm hanging up." Lu Zhentao snorted.
“Xiaoqi tripped and fell, hitting her head,” Lu Yunzhou said, his voice choked with emotion. “She’s unconscious.”
