Chapter 457 Qi Mingxuan Collapses and Dies (3)
When Han's mother received Han Mingyu's call, it was already an hour later.
Han's mother rushed from Han Lou to Ming Yuan.
"Xiao Xuan?"
Outside the study, Han's mother knocked on the door, "Xiaoxuan, are you alright? Could you please open the door for me?"
Han's mother called out several times from outside the door, but there was no response from inside.
Just as Han's mother was about to go find the key to open the door, the study door opened.
"Xiaoxuan!" Han's mother rushed forward and grabbed Qi Mingxuan's hand. "You scared me to death! Mingyu called me and asked me to come and see you. Are you alright?"
Qi Mingxuan's eyes were a little red, but her emotions had calmed down.
At this moment, she looked at Han's mother with a calm expression.
"Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you, I'm fine."
Seeing that she wasn't in a good mood, Han's mother felt that she was hiding something. "Xiaoxuan, Mingyu isn't here. If there's anything, you must tell your mother. Don't keep it to yourself. It's not good for you and the baby."
"I'm fine," Qi Mingxuan said. "I just feel that Han Mingyu has been abroad for a while."
“I scolded him,” Han’s mother said. “He has already booked his ticket and should be back tomorrow.”
Qi Mingxuan nodded, "I understand, Mom. I'm a little sleepy, I want to go to sleep."
"Okay, Mommy will stay with you, okay?"
"No need." Qi Mingxuan gave Han's mother a forced smile. "You don't need to worry, I'll be fine after a nap."
"Okay, then Mom will stay here tonight, and I'll go back tomorrow when Mingyu comes back."
Qi Mingxuan nodded.
Han's mother helped her back to the master bedroom, and only after watching her lie down and close her eyes did she turn around and leave the room.
After going downstairs, Han's mother asked Lan's mother, "How has the eldest young mistress been these past two days?"
Lan's mother recalled, "Everything was fine, except that she started eating less yesterday. I asked her if the food wasn't to her liking, and she said no, that she hadn't been sleeping well these past few days and had no appetite."
"I understand. Go and cook some nutritious porridge."
Lan's mother nodded: "Okay."
Han's mother walked over to the sofa and sat down, raising her hand to rub her eyelids.
Her eyelids had been twitching for the past few days, and the twitching was making her a little anxious.
Han's mother called Han Mingyu.
On the other end of the phone, Han Mingyu answered quickly, "Mom, how is Xiaoxuan?"
"I found her in the study. She seemed calm, but her eyes were red, she must have been crying," Han's mother said with a sigh. "I asked her, but she wouldn't say anything. She must be hiding something. Han Mingyu, tell me the truth, have you done anything foolish again?"
Han Mingyu paused for a few seconds, then said, "Mom, what foolish thing could I do? Don't worry and let it get to you. It must be because I've been away for so many days and she misses me. She's been asking me when I'm coming back."
"Then why don't you come back right now!" Mother Han said angrily. "What kind of lousy overseas project is this? At worst, we can just breach the contract and quit. Our Han family doesn't need this business. Even if your Lixiang Group goes bankrupt, our Han family can still support your family of four!"
"Mom, how can you say that!" Han Mingyu said helplessly. "I'm almost at the airport now, I'll be there tomorrow. Don't tell her yet, I'm planning to give her a surprise."
"Just hurry up and get back here, what's with the surprise!" Han's mother yelled and hung up the phone.
...
International Airport, Country F.
Guan Shuo pushed Lin Xiaoyue, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and turned to look at Han Mingyu, who was on the phone not far away.
Lin Xiaoyue, in her wheelchair, was pale and had a blank expression.
The doctor said she suffered from psychogenic memory impairment after shock, and these days she is sometimes lucid and sometimes confused, and she really needs someone to take care of her.
But she also happened to have something that Han Mingyu wanted.
Han Mingyu originally wanted to leave her abroad, but he was afraid that if she woke up, she would make a scene and insist on seeing Han Mingyu before handing over the items, and then he would not be able to keep rushing abroad.
In addition, Qi Mingxuan was pregnant.
He has been suffering every day since he left the country, worrying about her being alone at home.
God knows how much it hurt him to hear her break down in tears on the phone today.
At that moment, Han Mingyu was filled with immense regret!
Therefore, he will no longer leave her alone.
Han Mingyu put his phone back in his pocket and turned around to walk over.
He glanced at Lin Xiaoyue, who was sitting in a wheelchair like a puppet, and looked up at Guan Shuo: "Once we get to China, I'll go straight back to Mingyuan. You take her back to my villa in the suburbs, arrange for people to watch over her, and make sure to keep it a secret. Keep an eye out for paparazzi on the way; her face is still quite popular in China."
Guan Shuo nodded solemnly: "Okay."
...
It's 7 PM in China.
Mingyuan Garden.
Han's mother glanced at the time; it was already seven o'clock, and Qi Mingxuan still hadn't come down.
She patted Qi Yue's head and said, "Xiao Yue, go back to your room and do your homework after you finish eating. Grandma will go upstairs to see if your mother has woken up yet."
"Okay." Qi Yue nodded sensibly.
Han's mother got up and went upstairs.
Outside the master bedroom door, Han's mother knocked.
In the room, Qi Mingxuan, who was lying on her side on the bed, slowly opened her eyes.
She couldn't sleep; every time she closed her eyes, those images kept replaying in her mind.
Even though she was covered with a blanket, she was still ice cold all over.
"Xiaoxuan." Han's mother's voice came from outside: "Mom is coming in."
Upon hearing the sound, Qi Mingxuan propped herself up on the bed and sat up.
The door was gently pushed open, and Han's mother glanced inside. Seeing that she was awake, she walked in.
"It's already seven o'clock. I asked Lan's mom to cook some nutritious porridge. If you don't have a good appetite, we can have some porridge to fill your stomach, okay?"
Qi Mingxuan didn't want her elders to worry.
Although she really had no appetite at all, she still nodded and said, "Okay."
"So, are you going to come downstairs, or should I eat upstairs?"
"I'll go downstairs." Qi Mingxuan lifted the blanket. "Mom, have you eaten?"
"Not yet, I'll wait for you to come together." Han's mother squatted down to help her put on her slippers.
"Are your feet swollen?" She gently pinched Qi Mingxuan's feet. "Oh, they really are swollen."
Qi Mingxuan has indeed experienced mild swelling in her lower limbs in the past few days.
The swelling has worsened today because I spent a lot of time sitting or lying down.
Han's mother got up to help her, her words full of concern and heartache, "Silly girl, if you're feeling unwell, you should say so. Don't keep it to yourself. Mingyu isn't here, are you just going to bear it all by yourself? If you do this, Mom will feel guilty, and when we get back, Mingyu will blame me for not taking good care of you."
“He won’t.” Qi Mingxuan’s voice was very soft.
He was busy spending time with Lin Xiaoyue while he was abroad.
How could I possibly worry about her?
Even though she cried and begged him to come back on the phone, he still hung up without hesitation.
Qi Mingxuan closed her eyes, trying to suppress the emotions surging in her chest.
She needs to calm down.
calm.
The baby in her belly kicked her.
Qi Mingxuan looked down at her stomach and touched it.
My belly has visibly grown bigger these past few days.
Seeing her head down touching her belly, Han's mother reached out and touched it too, asking, "Has Little Bao been behaving well these past few days?"
Qi Mingxuan looked at her belly and slightly curled her lips, "She's quite well-behaved."
It's just that when the baby moves, it always kicks and hurts her.
Qi Mingxuan felt that this child was completely different from Qi Yue back then.
Qi Yue was relatively quiet in her belly at that time. Except for a few symbolic movements at fixed times each day, he was very quiet the rest of the time.
But this one is different; it moves a lot every day, and each time it makes quite a commotion.
Qi Mingxuan even thought that Xiaobao would be a baby with a bad temper.
Han's mother helped her downstairs to the dining table.
Qi Yue had just finished eating and was about to go upstairs to do her homework.
Upon seeing Qi Yue, Qi Mingxuan reached out and waved to him, "Son, come here and let Mom give you a hug."
Qi Yue was slightly taken aback, then walked towards Qi Mingxuan.
Qi Mingxuan reached out and hugged him, patting his head, "Are you tired from studying?"
"I'm not tired." Qi Yue looked up at her. "Mom, what's wrong?"
Qi Mingxuan smiled at him, "It's nothing, Mom just suddenly wanted to hug you."
Qi Yue sensed that his mother was in a bad mood.
He thought it must be because his father had been away for too many days and his mother missed him.
"Mom, I'm here," Qi Yue said, taking his mother's hand with a serious expression. "Dad's out, but I'm here with you!"
Qi Mingxuan looked at her son, and her eyes suddenly welled up with tears.
She didn't want to cry in front of her child, so she turned away to wipe her tears.
Han's mother also felt a lump in her throat and quickly said, "Hey, Qi Yue, don't worry, your mother is just being affected by hormones during her pregnancy, so she's easily moved to tears."
Qi Yue didn't understand, but her father and grandmother had both said that it was very hard for her mother to be pregnant.
He felt sorry for his mother, but he didn't know what he could do to make her life less difficult.
Seeing his mother cry, he could only stand helplessly to the side, and couldn't help but resent his father in his heart.
Knowing that Mom is having a hard time during her pregnancy, why hasn't she come back after so many days!
Qi Mingxuan composed herself, sniffed, turned around and smiled at Qi Yue: "Mom is fine now. You can eat and rest for a while before going upstairs to write."
"good!"
“Qi Yue is very well-behaved, but you look terrible. Sit down quickly,” Mother Han helped Qi Mingxuan sit down at the dining table. “Aunt Lan, bring up the young mistress’s nutritious porridge.”
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
At the dining table, Qi Mingxuan sipped her porridge slowly.
Han's mother sat down beside her and served her some food, saying, "Eat some, so you can get enough nutrition."
"Thank you, Mom."
"We don't talk about these things among family." Han's mother looked at her and sighed inwardly.
This person clearly has something on their mind.
But she clearly didn't want to talk about it, and as her mother-in-law, she couldn't press her for more information.
Thinking that their son would be home tomorrow, it would be better for the couple to communicate on their own if anything came up.
...
After dinner, Han's mother asked Qi Mingxuan to sit on the sofa and massaged her legs.
Qi Mingxuan felt quite embarrassed to have an elder massage her. She politely declined, but Han's mother said it was fine for her own mother to massage her child.
These words touched Qi Mingxuan.
Her tears almost fell again, but she bit her lip hard to hold them back.
After massaging Qi Mingxuan's legs for more than ten minutes, Qi Mingxuan asked to go back to her room to rest.
Han's mother helped her back to her room.
After watching her lie down, Han's mother turned and left the room.
...
In the room, Qi Mingxuan lay alone on the bed, her eyes open, doing nothing, the images constantly replaying in her mind.
Around 8 o'clock, Qi Mingxuan received a call from Anmi.
Anmi said, "President Qi, we found out. This Chen Wei was indeed in the same class as you in the first year of high school, but he dropped out in the second semester. The Chen family originally owned a factory, but it went bankrupt that year, and the Chen family moved back to their hometown. This Chen Wei had been working as a security guard in his hometown before, and he only came to Beicheng last week."
Qi Mingxuan tightened her grip on her phone slightly. "Investigate Zhang Zihao again."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Mingxuan closed her eyes.
Her breathing quickened, and the bloody images flashed through her mind—
Around 10 o'clock, Anmi called again.
This time, Anmi's tone was more serious: "President Qi, the Zhang Zihao you asked me to investigate is dead!"
Qi Mingxuan's breath hitched slightly. "How did he die?"
"The traffic accident was even on the news at the time. It was said to be caused by drunk driving. The car overturned on the cross-river bridge and plunged into the river with the driver."
Qi Mingxuan closed her eyes. "I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Mingxuan abruptly threw off the covers, got out of bed, covered her mouth, and rushed into the bathroom.
The sound of vomiting came from the bathroom.
She vomited up all the food she had eaten, and Qi Mingxuan was almost completely exhausted.
After rinsing her mouth, she slowly walked out of the bathroom, supporting herself against the wall.
Just then, Song Lanyin's phone rang.
Qi Mingxuan's bad premonition had almost reached its peak.
She walked to the bedside, sat down, and answered the phone, "Hello."
"President Qi, I've sent Lin Xiaoyue's information and her whereabouts over the past few days to your email. However, I just received some bad news. Do you want to hear it?"
Qi Mingxuan's pale lips moved slightly. "You speak."
Song Lanyin sighed, "Your husband is taking that Lin Xiaoyue back to China!"
