Seeing her daughter run off so hastily, she was somewhat dazed.
He instinctively tried to reach out and pull her back, but he couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes.
Lin Qingyi collapsed onto the hospital bed that had just been wheeled out of the operating room.
Fu Siming walked up to Lin Mei. "Hello, I'm Fu Siming, a friend of Ang. Is it convenient for us to chat?"
The person in front of him paused for a moment, looked in his daughter's direction, and nodded.
"Mr. Fu, thank you." Lin Mei didn't know what to say, but she knew that it was this man in front of her who had rescued her daughter from Sun Jiming's clutches.
"Please don't be so polite. May I ask you a few questions?"
The respectful words coming from the man in front of him had an irresistible quality.
She seemed a little lost in thought, and sighed softly: "You want to ask about Sun Jiming, right?"
"If it's convenient."
Images of Lin Qingyi's face and the injuries on her hands and feet flashed through her mind; it seemed like she hadn't seen Lin Qingyi cry in a long time.
It seemed like a long time had passed before Lin Mei finally swallowed her initial hesitation and spoke slowly and deliberately.
“Sun Jiming is a complete bastard… Ha,” she said, a hint of sarcasm on her face, whether for that man or for herself, it was unclear.
"Qingyi is her daughter, yet he actually hurt her twice!"
At this point, Lin Mei became emotional and didn't care about anything else.
"More than 20 years ago, he had just joined the Ministry of Commerce and came to Jiangcheng University's School of Business for training and promotion. At that time, Jiangcheng was booming in attracting foreign investment, so we cooperated with Jiangcheng University for more than a year. That's when I met him."
As she spoke, seemingly unwilling to recall the only happy time in this memory, she gently shook her head, "That year I was studying in cooperation with the Ministry of Commerce at the business school, and that's when I met Qingyi. He said he would marry me after I graduated and told me to feel at ease having the child."
At this point, he seemed to find it ridiculous and gave a bitter smile. "But after the Jiangcheng foreign investment guidance project ended, he went back to Beishi first, saying that he had prepared a house there for me. After I graduated, I went to Beishi without stopping, and that's when I found out that he was already going to marry Li Zhijun's daughter."
"He coaxed me to have an abortion, saying that if the child was born without a father, she would resent it... But at that time, Qingyi was already seven or eight months pregnant with me. She was already so big. The doctor said that induced labor was very risky, so I..."
"So you gave birth to her." Fu Siming interrupted her from her grief.
Lin Mei was silent for a while before continuing, "Yes, I originally planned to raise her myself, but he was afraid that my daughter and I would ruin his career. At that time, my father was still alive, and I couldn't leave him behind. Sun Jiming took Qingyi away while I was taking the child to the hospital and threatened me to leave the country and never come back."
“I… my mother had just passed away, and I couldn’t bear to leave my father and go to another place, but he… he actually…”
As if thinking of something painful, Lin Mei's hands trembled uncontrollably.
"He actually gave Qingyi a dose of fever reducer... Later, I agreed to leave him, and when Qingyi came back to me, I found out that because she took the wrong medicine for her fever and didn't get timely treatment, she... could no longer hear!"
Lin Mei's tears fell as she thought of how such a young child had suffered, and her cries grew louder.
She reached out and pounded her chest hard, trying to relieve the discomfort and suffocation in her chest.
After she calmed down a bit, Fu Siming heard her ask, "He took Qingyi away this time, intending to... kill her..."
After choking back tears for a moment, she finally managed to ask the question in its entirety: "Are you planning to kill her?"
...
For the first time, Fu Siming felt unsure how to give such a cruel answer to the woman in front of him.
He nodded.
Lin Mei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "He really hasn't changed at all. Even with his child, he's still so heartless..."
"Mr. Fu, is there any connection between Ang and Sun Jiming?"
This question was asked on behalf of Lin Qingyi. It's clear that her daughter doesn't consider this man a mere friend, as she claims.
"I'm sorry, we weren't originally involved. It's because of me. I'll handle things quickly. As for Ang's situation, I believe he told you himself."
After Fu Siming's sincere explanation, neither of them said anything more.
Inside the ward, the monitor inside emitted a rhythmic, soft sound.
The man lying on the bed had just lost consciousness after the anesthesia wore off, and Lin Qingyi stared blankly at Ang's face.
It seems that this way one can see through the man.
Ang always used to laugh and tease her when he was with her, but now he lies in a hospital bed with thick bandages wrapped around his shoulder and his face pale.
Staring at the bloody hole, she recalled the way Sun Jiming had fired the gun.
Is she Sun Jiming's daughter?
Why did my mother never say that?
Why is it said that the mother is untrustworthy?
She had many questions, and her fingers unconsciously started picking at themselves.
She had no idea when Lin Mei came to her side.
He just stared blankly at his mother's reddened eyes.
Her mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.
Lin Mei tenderly pulled her into her arms, and then quietly repeated to Lin Qingyi what she had just told Fu Siming.
She originally thought that as long as her daughter didn't know, there would be no harm, and as long as the two of them stayed far away from Jiangcheng, there would be no harm.
But she underestimated the man's ruthlessness, and she almost lost her daughter completely.
