When the two arrived at the hospital, Li Xueli had just been saved.
Fortunately, Lin was on duty tonight and discovered the situation immediately.
They were taken to the emergency room.
Although the person was rescued, they are still in a coma due to excessive blood loss, and their condition is not optimistic.
"The patient's mental state has been poor these past few days. He has been depressed, has a poor appetite, and is also having trouble sleeping. Last night, he suddenly lost control and started throwing things. We had to give him a sedative before he calmed down."
Lin hadn't slept all night, and his face showed obvious signs of exhaustion.
He had just finished speaking when Huang Yaxi came out from inside. "I asked the nurse on duty, and she said that a woman came to visit the patient tonight, and shortly afterward, the patient's mood became strange."
“I suspect that something the other person said might have provoked her, which is why she suddenly had suicidal thoughts.”
Upon hearing this, Su Xi frowned. "You can tell what the other person looks like?"
"The nurse seemed to have said that she looked very similar to the patient and they must be twin sisters."
And so, that is Li Xuemei.
Only this woman would dare to do such a thing.
It seems we need to put more pressure on Su Rou and get Li Xuemei to talk as soon as possible so she can tell the truth.
Lin Ye and Huang Yaxi were also tired, so Su Xi didn't chat with them much and told them to go and rest. Afterwards, she went to the ward to visit Li Xueli.
The person was still unconscious, their face deathly pale.
His wrist was wrapped in thick gauze.
Lin also said that she smashed the IV drip and cut herself with the glass shards.
The wound was irregular, but very deep.
It was just a hair's breadth away from damaging the major artery.
Taking one more step at night would definitely mean certain death.
What exactly did Li Xuemei say to her that made her do something to hurt herself?
“I have to go back to the Su family. Li Xuemei must have some secrets, otherwise Li Xueli wouldn’t have gone to the point of suicide.”
Having lived in the Su family for so many years, Su Xi knew her mother all too well; she was ruthless to the core.
Ordinary threats won't scare her at all.
I originally planned to use Su Rou to pry open her mouth and find out some truth, but so much time has passed and there's still no word from Su Rou.
It seems we'll have to resort to some tactics.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Zhou Jingming also had this guess.
The fact that Li Xueli looked like she wanted to kill Li Xuemei the moment she saw her proves just how much she hated her.
How could someone born with such hatred possibly let their enemy live, and instead choose to end their own life?
There must be something wrong with this.
Li Xuemei definitely has many secrets she hasn't revealed yet.
Su Xi had other plans and couldn't let him come along, so she could only find a way to move him away. "A shrew like Li Xuemei isn't worth your time. I'll handle her."
"Okay, call me anytime if anything happens." Zhou Jingming knew she had other considerations and needed to avoid him.
Su Xi quickly left the hospital and drove to the Su family home.
She had driven away those mistresses and illegitimate children, leaving only Su Rou and Li Xuemei in the Su family.
As she wished, the mother and daughter lived in the stairwell.
When Su Xi entered the living room, Li Xuemei and Su Rou were having dinner.
Upon seeing Su Xi appear, Su Rou jumped up from her chair in surprise. "Xi, Xi'er, why are you back?"
Su Xi went closer and saw that there were two people and four dishes.
And they're all meat dishes.
"Not bad, it seems you've been living quite comfortably while I was away." Su Xi raised her lips and sat down opposite the two.
Su Rou smiled ingratiatingly, "We haven't had any meat in ages, we only had this extra meal today."
"Is that so?" Su Xi looked at the mother and daughter without any expression.
“Of course it’s true. We don’t have any income right now, so we can’t afford to eat meat and fish every day…” After Su Rou finished speaking, she went to get new bowls and chopsticks for Su Xi. “Xi’er, you haven’t eaten yet either, have you? Sit down and eat with us.”
Su Xi wasn't back to reminisce; her gaze fell on Li Xuemei.
Compared to Su Rou's timid flattery, Li Xuemei showed no fear whatsoever, and her chopsticks never stopped moving for a second.
Ms. Li,
Su Xi tapped the table and got straight to the point, "You know that Li Xueli committed suicide by cutting her wrists?"
With a snap.
Li Xuemei slammed her chopsticks down on the table. "She committed suicide. What does that have to do with me?"
“You visited her at the hospital last night, and she started acting strangely. If you hadn’t said something to provoke her, she wouldn’t have attempted suicide.” Compared to her, Su Xi was even more aggressive, and with a wave of her hand, all the food was overturned on the ground.
She let the mother and daughter live here so that they could repent for their past actions, not so that they could enjoy a life of luxury.
Su Rou's career was ruined.
Li Xuemei is old and used to the life of a wealthy wife, so it's impossible for her to endure hardship and go out to earn money.
Su Xi sent people to guard the villa. Two days ago, her people sent word that Li Xuemei had secretly taken things from the villa to a pawnshop to exchange for money.
Does she really think she's unaware of these things just because she doesn't pursue the matter?
Su Xi had no patience for idle chatter and slammed her hand heavily on the table. "Tell me, what did you do to her?"
When she got angry, Su Rou trembled all over and turned pale.
"Xi'er, there must be some misunderstanding. Mom wouldn't..."
"Shut up, I didn't ask you!" Su Xi interrupted coldly. "Ms. Li, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise, I can't guarantee I'll torture you in other ways."
Upon hearing this, Su Rou's face turned even paler. She quickly grabbed Li Xuemei's hand and whispered, "Mom, what exactly did you do? Tell me quickly."
Su Rou was truly terrified of being tortured and now only wanted to live in peace.
Seeing her cowardly appearance, Li Xuemei angrily shoved her away, saying, "What are you afraid of? Does she dare to lay a hand on her own mother?"
"It seems Ms. Li doesn't want to talk about it." Su Xi sighed softly, then snapped her fingers.
Fu Yu, wearing a mask, appeared behind them.
“Last time, Ms. Li knelt in the ancestral hall to repent, but she still showed no remorse whatsoever. In that case, let’s try something new.” After saying that, Su Xi instructed Fu Yu, “Let’s get started.”
"Yes." Fu Yu twisted her neck and walked step by step toward Li Xuemei.
What do you want to do?
Li Xuemei glared at her angrily, but the next second, she let out a miserable scream.
Fu Yu simply grabbed her by the collar and easily lifted her off the ground. "I didn't do anything, just played a game with you."
"Su Xi, I am your own mother! How can you treat your own mother like this? Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?" Li Xuemei screamed.
With a loud slap, Fu Yu delivered a powerful blow to the other side.
Li Xuemei's lips burst open, and blood splattered everywhere.
"You still know she's your biological mother? Do you think your biological mother would do things like that?" Fu Yu wasn't satisfied with just one slap; she quickly followed up with a second one.
“If it weren’t for our old…” Fu Yu realized she had almost let something slip and quickly corrected herself, “Su Xi is so kind, you would all be in hell by now.”
