Chapter 425 Chapter 425 Guilt
Shen Qinghuan was silent for a moment, and the fingers holding the phone tightened involuntarily.
She couldn't help but blame Shi Beichuan for everything that had happened to Li Meng. Li Meng cared about him and didn't want to implicate him, but what about him? Could it be that he had never noticed?
She sneered and put the phone to her ear: "Hello?"
When Shi Beichuan heard her voice, he quickly asked, "Have you heard any news about Mengmeng?"
"So what if she has it? So what if she doesn't? Shi Beichuan, tell me honestly, do you really care about Li Meng?" Shen Qinghuan asked coldly.
Shi Beichuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding where Shen Qinghuan's question came from. He suddenly felt unhappy, "Shen Qinghuan, what are you questioning me about? I'm not worried about her, are you the only one who is worried about her? If I wasn't worried about her, would I have tried every possible way to find her during this period of time?"
Shen Qinghuan sneered, "Yes! Li Meng is missing, and you are indeed trying hard to find her, but you have no idea why she disappeared! You don't even know why she wants to divorce you!"
On the other end of the phone, Shi Beichuan's face was extremely gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "I don't want to talk about this useless stuff! If you have any news about Li Meng, please tell me immediately!"
"Why should I tell you? Shi Beichuan, even if I have news about Li Meng, I won't tell you."
When Shen Qinghuan thought of Li Meng, who was still lying on the hospital bed with her life or death unknown, he felt so angry that he had no place to vent.
Now Beichuan has just run into the gun, how could she let him go easily!
"I should have stopped Li Meng from getting married with you. What's the point of getting married? Suffering? Shi Beichuan, ask yourself, has Li Meng been happy much since she's been with you?"
"If marriage can't be one plus one greater than two, then don't get married!"
After venting her anger, Shen Qinghuan ended the call with Shi Beichuan without hesitation, but her emotions didn't calm down. She felt a growing tightness in her chest. She couldn't understand why Li Cheng hadn't been thrown out of the district? Why was he back? Were the Li family members unaware of the consequences of his return?
Or, because they knew that she and Jiang Yu were divorced, they were certain that Jiang Yu would no longer care about her affairs?
If this is true, then is she also one of the people who caused Li Meng to lie in the hospital bed?
Thinking this in her heart, the guilt that surged like a surging wave almost completely drowned her.
A familiar cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, then picked up her phone and took a look.
Xu Dongyao?
"Li Cheng died in a car accident."
"Well, I already know about this matter. He deserves it! He should go to hell instead of living such a comfortable life!"
Shen Qinghuan hated Li Cheng to death. If it weren't for his sin, how could Li Meng be lying on the hospital bed, his life or death unknown?
After a pause, she added calmly, "I'm in the hospital now. I've found Li Meng, but the doctor said she's not through the critical period yet. Whether she can wake up depends on her determination to live!"
"Li Meng is in the hospital?"
"Yes, at the hospital. I just arrived not long ago."
"Send me the address and I'll come find you now. We can talk about anything in person."
Before ending the call, Shen Qinghuan specifically told Xu Dongyao not to tell Shi Beichuan the news of finding Li Meng, and Xu Dongyao agreed.
On the other hand, Shi Beichuan has been very annoyed recently. His parents and sister have taken turns to persuade him, saying that since he has divorced Li Meng, it means that they are not suitable for each other, and they are forcing him to go on a blind date with Su Nian.
"Dad, my mom and sister have already persuaded me. I won't go. If you want to go, go by yourselves."
Shi Beichuan had a cold face and his emotions were on the verge of exploding.
Father Shi's face was extremely gloomy, but he managed to hold it in, remaining patient. "Beichuan, you got your marriage certificate with Miss Li without telling us, and I didn't say a word to you because I thought you were old enough and knew what you should and shouldn't do. So, I gave you a chance to try and make your own mistakes, but what was the result?"
"The results show that you and Miss Li are not suitable for each other at all. If you were suitable, you wouldn't have ended up getting divorced."
After a pause, he softened his tone and continued, "Beichuan, business has been tough these past two years. Have you seen the Li family in the south of the city? They've already started selling off their properties all over the place. If our group can't get this loan, it won't be long before our family follows their path."
"Dad built Yaocheng single-handedly. How can you bear to watch it fall like this? Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your mother and your sister. Once our family fails, how many people will want to take advantage of your sister?"
"Beichuan, you're almost 30. Whether it's your thoughts or your actions, you need to be more mature. Don't just do whatever you want. I hope you'll think twice before doing anything!"
After Shi's father finished speaking, he ignored Shi Beichuan and stood up and left the study.
When he reached the door, he seemed to think of something and suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at his son who was sitting on the chair with a stern face. "Just stay in there honestly. When you figure it out, come out. If you don't figure it out, stay in there forever."
After saying that, Shi Beichuan closed the door and left without looking back.
When Beichuan came to his senses, he realized that he had been locked up by his father.
Seeing Shi's father coming out, Shi's mother hurried forward, her brows furrowed tightly, "Beichuan still doesn't want to?"
Father Shi snorted coldly: "Don't worry about him! I'll see how long he can be stubborn."
Shi's mother peeked at the closed door of the study, sighed slightly, and said nothing to persuade her.
In the hospital.
When Xu Dongyao found Shen Qinghuan, she was sitting in the corridor outside the ward in a daze.
When he reached her, she slowly raised her head to look at him. Her soft red lips moved slightly, and she said in a pretentious and cheerful tone, "Mr. Xu, you're here so quickly! I thought you'd have to wait a little longer."
Xu Dongyao frowned almost imperceptibly, a trace of pain flashed through his heart, and he asked her softly, "Where's Li Meng?"
Shen Qinghuan pointed to the door and said, "She is lying in the ward."
Finally, she looked up at him again and asked seriously, "Xu Dongyao, do you want to go in and see her?"
Xu Dongyao had never seen Shen Qinghuan like this before. It was as if all his energy and spirit had been drained away. His face changed slightly, and he lowered his brows and asked, "How are you?"
"I'm fine. The one who's in trouble is Li Meng. The doctor said it's still a question whether she can wake up. Moreover, even if she wakes up, she may have some uncontrollable sequelae in her brain."
