Chapter 431 A Complete Break (2)
The night sky was as black as ink.
The night, which should have been peaceful, was suddenly shattered by several thunderclaps.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down.
Qi Mingxuan's shouts were drowned out by the thunder.
"Pat-pat-pat"
Large raindrops pattered against the glass.
Water splashed in the bathtub, and her wet, long hair was grabbed.
Her slender wrist was restrained and pressed against the hard edge of the bathtub by a large hand.
The shouts were silenced.
In that instant, the despair of being on the verge of death swept over Qi Mingxuan once again!
Tears rolled down my cheeks, my heart abruptly stopped pounding, and the ringing in my ears plunged the world into a deathly silence...
A violent storm ravaged the city.
A love affair initiated unilaterally by Han Mingyu ended up leaving only a mess and the woman's shattered dignity.
When Han Mingyu noticed that something was wrong with Qi Mingxuan, Qi Mingxuan had already fainted.
The woman stopped breathing, her chest remained flat, and Han Mingyu's mind went blank for a moment.
The next second, reason returned.
"Qi Mingxuan?"
The woman collapsed into the bathtub like a rag.
The water in the bathtub was cold.
As soon as Han Mingyu let go, the woman's body slid into the water.
The water covered her mouth and nose...
Han Mingyu was shocked and quickly pulled her out of the bathtub.
Qi Mingxuan showed no reaction; her lips were bleeding from a cut on the corner of her mouth and her lips were purple.
Han Mingyu's pupils constricted sharply!
This was not the outcome he wanted...
The man quickly pulled off a bath towel, wrapped it tightly around her, and carried her out of the bathtub.
He then quickly laid the person flat on the ground, pinched the philtrum, performed CPR, and artificial respiration...
"Wake up, Qi Mingxuan... don't scare me, wake up—"
Han Mingyu called her name, his voice trembling.
"Cough cough—"
With a cough, Qi Mingxuan regained her breathing and slowly opened her eyes.
Han Mingyu immediately stopped and helped her up, saying, "It's alright, it's alright..."
Qi Mingxuan's eyes were open, but the depths of her pupils were empty.
Her vision was blurry, but fragmented, distant images filled her mind.
"Han Mingyu, what have I done to wrong you... Why are you doing this to me..."
She slumped weakly against Han Mingyu's shoulder, her cold body still bearing the marks left by the man.
His breathing was heavy, and his eyes were so red they looked like they could bleed, but not a single tear could be shed.
"What have I done to wrong you... why are you treating me like this?"
Han Mingyu felt as if his heart was being bound by barbed wire, each strand tightening with every word Qi Mingxuan spoke.
Why did you do this to me...?
Han Mingyu was filled with remorse.
"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively just now. I didn't mean to, I was just too angry, I was just too angry..."
But, I'm just too angry?
So does that mean we can trample on her at will?
Qi Mingxuan gave a self-deprecating tug at the corner of her mouth, but the pain from the wound on her lip made her frown.
Unable to bear looking at him any longer, she slowly closed her eyes, letting her consciousness sink into boundless darkness.
Han Mingyu called her several times, but received no response.
He wiped his face, picked her up, and carried her out of the bathroom.
The room was dark, and the broken door was ajar.
Butler Qi dared not barge in rashly, for fear of witnessing some unsavory scene.
But we can't do nothing either.
Butler Qi called the Han family, and Mr. and Mrs. Han were on their way.
...
In the room, Han Mingyu placed Qi Mingxuan on the large bed.
He went into the dressing room, found pajamas and helped Qi Mingxuan change into them.
Afterwards, he returned to the bathroom, picked up his wet clothes and put them on.
His clothes were soaking wet and stuck to his body, making him look quite disheveled, but he couldn't care less at the moment!
Back in the room, Han Mingyu checked Qi Mingxuan's body.
Qi Mingxuan's lip was cut, probably from the struggle, and she also had several bruises on her elbow.
Han Mingyu looked at the strangulation marks on his neck, raised his hand and slapped himself hard!
The pain in his cheek did nothing to lessen his regret.
He's really gone mad, how could he have lost control to that extent...
Qi Mingxuan was unconscious and looked very unwell. Han Mingyu knew she needed to go to the hospital for treatment...
The door opened, and Han Mingyu walked out, closing the door slightly again.
Butler Qi stepped forward and slapped Han Mingyu across the face!
"I slapped him on behalf of our young master!" Butler Qi said, his eyes red. "Mr. Han, our young lady's family may be gone, but I'm still alive and kicking. Go ahead and take your revenge if you dare! But from this day forward, the Qi family's doors will never be opened for you again!"
Han Mingyu hung his head, having been slapped by a butler. For a pampered young master from a wealthy family like him, this was a great humiliation.
Normally, he certainly wouldn't give up so easily.
But he accepted the slap today!
"Have the driver prepare the car, I need to take her to the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Butler Qi's breath hitched. "What exactly did you do to our young lady...?"
As usual, Butler Qi stopped speaking.
Seeing Han Mingyu soaked to the bone, he roughly guessed what had happened, and his old eyes instantly turned red. "Han Mingyu! You beast!"
Han Mingyu closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and remained silent.
Now that things had come to this, he knew that anything he said would be futile.
Just then, the sound of a car came from the yard.
Then came a series of hurried footsteps.
Han's father and mother arrived.
"Mingyu!"
Han's mother hurried over and, seeing his soaked clothes and his current expression, her heart sank.
She turned and glanced at the broken master bedroom door.
The bad premonition grew stronger and stronger. Han's mother stepped forward, pushed open the door, and took a few steps inside, but her body froze!
She looked at Qi Mingxuan on the big bed and covered her mouth in disbelief.
Han Mingyu stood still with his head down.
"Are you trying to die?!" Han's mother turned around and rushed towards Han Mingyu, slapping him across the face, followed by a barrage of punches to his hard back.
"Han Mingyu, you're insane! How could our Han family have raised such a scoundrel! You, you..."
Han's mother cursed and cried at the same time; she never imagined that Han Mingyu would do such a thing!
It's over, there's absolutely no going back for this couple!
"Calm down, let's go inside and check on Xiaoxuan." Mr. Han came over and pulled his wife aside, his expression grave: "Xiaoxuan was just discharged from the hospital, we can't let anything happen to her."
Han's mother sniffed and pointed at Han Mingyu's face, "You wait, when I have time..."
Han Mingyu acted as if he could take any beating or scolding.
He was so arrogant and cocky just now, but now he's fallen into despair.
Han's mother pushed open the door and went inside, then closed the door again.
The lights were on in the room.
Qi Mingxuan lay on the large bed, her face as white as paper under the lamplight.
Because she was so fair-skinned, the wound at the corner of her mouth appeared so strikingly obvious.
At her age, how could Han's mother not understand?
She gasped, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"Xiao Xuan..." She walked to the bedside and sat down, reaching out to touch Qi Mingxuan's face. "Xiao Xuan, I'm sorry, I didn't raise our son well, and you've suffered so much..."
Qi Mingxuan was in a deep sleep.
My body feels cold.
But her forehead was very hot.
Han's mother didn't dare to delay. She came out of the room with a serious expression: "We have to go to the hospital. She has a high fever."
Upon hearing this, Han Mingyu's expression changed, and he was about to rush in when his mother stopped him, asking, "What are you going to do now?"
“I carried her to the car and took her to the hospital.” Han Mingyu looked at his mother, his Adam’s apple bobbing with difficulty: “Mom, I really know I was wrong.”
"It's too late for you to realize this now!"
Han's mother slapped him across the face again, "Don't even mention whether Xiao Xuan will forgive you or not, I now think you're not good enough for her!"
"If you want to hit or yell at me, wait until I get him to the hospital, okay?"
Mr. Han sighed heavily, "Getting him to the hospital is the most important thing."
Han's mother wiped away her tears.
Han Mingyu entered the house, and his mother, worried that his clumsy hands would hurt Qi Mingxuan again, watched from the side the whole time, giving him instructions.
...
Once in the car, Han's mother insisted on riding in the same car.
Han Mingyu hugged Qi Mingxuan without refusing.
The mother and son remained silent throughout the journey.
Han's mother wiped away tears from time to time.
Han's father followed behind them in another car.
Upon arrival at the hospital, I was immediately taken to the obstetrics and gynecology department for examination.
On the way, Han's mother called Ji's father.
The Ji and Han families were old friends, and Ji's father arranged for a familiar and reliable female chief physician to come and treat Qi Mingxuan.
The examination revealed a minor tear.
The female director's surname was Zhang, and she was about the same age as Han's mother.
“Excessive sexual activity poses a great threat to women’s health. I just discovered that she also has some rather serious marks on her body.” Director Zhang sighed, “Young people don’t know what’s important. They only care about themselves and don’t cherish their wives at all.”
Upon hearing this, Han's mother slapped Han Mingyu's arm hard: "Look at you, you beast! You beast!"
Han Mingyu kept his head down and remained silent.
Seeing that his attitude was acceptable, Director Zhang said, "She'll be hospitalized for a few days for observation. Her fever is probably caused by catching a cold, mainly because her bodily functions are relatively weak. I looked at her previous hospital records; she had heatstroke and anemia, and she was only discharged a few days ago... You, as her husband, are too unrestrained!"
Han Mingyu kept his head down and didn't say a word, his hands clenched tightly at his sides.
Director Zhang gave some more instructions and then left.
Only Han's mother and her son Han Mingyu remained in the ward.
Han's father waited outside the ward.
Qi Mingxuan was unconscious, and there was no one else in the ward.
Han's mother had tried hitting him and scolding him, but she sighed heavily and looked at her son, still finding it very difficult to understand!
"Han Mingyu, tell me the truth, why have you become like this? Did you study some nonsense abroad for a few years? No matter how big the conflict is between husband and wife, you shouldn't treat Xiaoxuan like this, especially since you're going through a divorce right now. You went to the Qi family in the middle of the night and treated Xiaoxuan like this, what are you planning to do? Aren't you afraid that Xiaoxuan will wake up and accuse you of domestic violence!"
Han Mingyu raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I really didn't mean it. I was just so angry that I lost my mind."
"I think you've gone mad from spending 2 billion! And you're still angry? What right do you have to be angry?!"
Han's mother became increasingly agitated as she spoke: "You're the one who spent 2 billion on that Lin Xiaoyue! And what did you do? You spent the money, packed your bags, and went abroad, ignoring the chaos in the country! You disappeared for a week and came back to do this kind of beastly thing! Han Mingyu, you've really disappointed me!"
"The relationship between Lin Xiaoyue and me is not what you think. I helped her for a reason."
"Why?"
"Please don't ask why."
Han's mother laughed angrily: "Are you afraid to speak? Han Mingyu, let me tell you, you better explain yourself! Otherwise, I'll go find that Lin Xiaoyue tomorrow with my lawyer, and I'll make her spit out that 2 billion! Who does she think she is? Why should our Han family's money be given to her!"
"Mom, you don't know anything about this. Can you please just leave this alone? There are a lot of things involved here. Please let me handle it myself."
"How did you handle this?" Han's mother pointed at Qi Mingxuan on the hospital bed, her eyes red with anger. "Is this how you handled it? You spent 2 billion on another woman and then ruined your own wife's life by sending her to the hospital! Han Mingyu, Han Mingyu! What did Xiaoxuan ever do to you?! She gave birth to your son and raised Qi Yue all these years on her own. She has been devoted to you without any regrets! Even if you don't like her, you should at least give her the respect and love a wife deserves, considering she gave you a son! But what did you do? Are you trying to drive her to her death?!"
Han Mingyu's breathing became labored.
He stared blankly at Qi Mingxuan on the hospital bed, his mind in turmoil.
He knew he had gone too far and that he had indeed done something wrong tonight.
He panicked, especially when Qi Mingxuan's heart stopped beating!
At the time, he just felt that Qi Mingxuan was too domineering. He didn't want to face her domineering nature, and he didn't want to hear her say anything about divorce.
All the thorns on her body were aimed at him.
She was the one who kept saying she loved him, and she was the one who used every means to give birth to Qi Yue against his will...
At that time, he only saw Qi Mingxuan as ruthless, domineering, and mean-spirited, and he hated that kind of Qi Mingxuan.
So all he wanted was to conquer her, to make her shed her thorns. He simply missed the way she was when they were newly married, so gentle and obedient in his arms.
How did things escalate to this point?
Before Qi Mingxuan fainted, Han Mingyu had no idea that Qi Mingxuan would be so resistant to him...
At that moment, a certain emotion that he had suppressed and ignored was completely unearthed from his heart along with that instant of panic.
...
"I'll stay here." Han's mother walked to the bedside and sat down, saying coldly, "Go back to the Han family now. Your father is waiting for you outside. You've gone too far this time. Even if your father really breaks your legs, I won't be soft-hearted, and I won't plead for you anymore."
Han Mingyu raised his hand and wiped his face.
He looked at Qi Mingxuan on the hospital bed.
The doctor said she was very weak and didn't know when her fever would break.
It's unlikely that the person will wake up anytime soon.
Han Mingyu turned his gaze to his mother and said, "Mom, then I'll trouble you to take care of her. I'll go back with Dad first."
"Get out!" Han's mother pressed her fingertips to her temples. "Just looking at you gives me a headache!"
Han Mingyu pursed his lips, turned around, opened the ward door, and walked out.
As soon as he stepped out, Han's father's gaze swept over him.
With a look of exasperation and disappointment: "Han Mingyu, you're quite something."
Han Mingyu pursed his lips and remained silent.
Han's father snorted coldly, too lazy to even glance at him again, and strode forward.
…
Han Family Ancestral Hall.
Han's father kicked Han Mingyu in the back of the knee.
Han Mingyu frowned, and with a 'thud,' his knees slammed heavily onto the hard ground.
