Chapter 911 It’s Time to Move Forward (Update 1)
These eight simple words don't sound like a good omen.
But Xi Jiu was not surprised at all, and his expression was quite calm.
Ever since he knew Ruan Qi was doomed, he had been prepared to die. If Ruan Qi could survive the doom, he would also live well.
But if Ruan Qi died, Xi Jiu would definitely not live alone.
Therefore, Zhuge Lang's prediction was very accurate, and his future was indeed unpredictable.
"Apart from these, is there anything else?"
"Not at the moment," Zhuge Lang replied. "Your future is closely tied to Xiaoqi, and Xiaoqi's fate is uncertain, so your future is also uncertain. However, I can assure you that as long as you overcome this emotional crisis, you will surely have a happy family, a loving couple, and a long life together."
Xi Jiu's solemn expression finally relaxed a little.
He sincerely thanked Zhuge Lang: "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Zhuge."
Zhuge Lang: "Master Xi, you are too polite. As a close friend of your grandfather, I would like to offer you a few words on my own behalf—"
"Master Xi, living and dying together is naturally good, but there is always a way out. Sometimes, if you just hold on a little longer, a miracle will happen. This is true for love, and it's also true for life and death."
Zhuge Lang finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Xi Jiu lowered his eyes and pondered what he had just said.
The ward became quiet again.
Gong Qi took Xi Jiu's phone, put it on the bedside table, then looked up at the infusion bottle.
"Master, Madam's medicine is almost finished."
Xi Jiu immediately pulled himself out of his thoughts, looked up at the infusion bottle, stood up and pressed the call bell.
The nurse quickly came over to help Ruan Qi remove the needle.
Xi Jiu touched the little girl's head and asked the nurse, "How long will it take for my fiancée to wake up?"
Nurse: "She should be soon. Miss Ruan just fell into a coma due to exhaustion. She will wake up naturally when she gets enough sleep."
Xi Jiu thanked him politely and bent down to tuck in the corner of the quilt for Ruan Qi.
After the nurse left, Gong Qi suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, Patriarch, what should we do with Xia Ying?"
Xia Ying posted the video of Ruan Qi jumping off the building online. This matter cannot be let go lightly.
Xi Jiu's face turned cold, and he asked calmly, "Where is she now?"
Gong Qi: "She's recuperating at the Cheng family's old house. Young Master Cheng attacked Xia Ying because of the video incident. Xia Ying was seriously injured and her leg seems to be broken."
"Not sent to the hospital?"
"No." Gong Qi shook his head. "After Xu Qingya and Cheng Qi were captured, the Cheng family was controlled by Young Master Cheng. Xia Ying was clamoring to go to the hospital, but Young Master Cheng wouldn't let her. He simply took away her communication equipment and locked her in the bedroom."
The more Cheng Jinyan cares about his cousin Ruan Qi, the more he hates Xia Ying's actions.
He has never been a man who is kind to women, and he will not be soft-hearted towards Xia Ying, his cousin with whom he has no feelings.
From the moment Xu Qingya and Cheng Qi were taken away by the police, Cheng Jinyan took control of the entire Cheng family. He placed all members of the Cheng family who had bullied Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu under house arrest. And Xia Ying, who had exposed the video of Ruan Qi jumping from a building, was the subject of his special attention.
Xi Jiu was very satisfied with Cheng Jinyan's approach. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Xia Ying won't have an easy time in Cheng Jinyan's hands. Don't worry about this matter for now. You just need to keep an eye on the other members of the Cheng family and don't let them take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble."
Gong Qi took the order and left the hospital quickly.
…
The chaotic night finally passed slowly with the ticking of the second hand.
When the sky in the east turns pale, a new day finally arrives, and the sins in the darkness are turned into dust by the sunset glow.
It was at this moment that Ruan Qi woke up from his coma.
She felt as if she had had a very long dream, in which there were many people and she had experienced many things. In the end, everything turned into light and shadow and returned to nothingness.
The thick eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly waking up and slowly spreading its beautiful wings.
Everything in front of her was a little blurry. Ruan Qi blinked blankly, and the blurry world gradually became clear.
"Baby!"
A familiar and reassuring voice rang in my ears.
Ruan Qi subconsciously turned her eyes and saw Xi Jiu's haggard, thin, but excited face.
"Jiujiu..."
Ruan Qi tried to speak, but her voice was weak due to exhaustion.
Xi Jiu quickly stopped her: "You are still very weak, so don't talk for now. Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
Ruan Qi nodded slightly.
Xi Jiu immediately picked up the cup from the low cabinet and walked to the water dispenser to get some warm water. Then he inserted a straw and brought the other end of the straw to Ruan Qi's mouth.
Ruan Qi hadn't had any water the entire night and was already extremely thirsty. She bit down on the straw and gulped down the water like a baby.
Because she drank too hard, the flesh on both sides of the little girl's cheeks bulged. Xi Jiu looked at her trying to drink water, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Drink slowly, baby, don't choke."
Ruan Qi hummed vaguely twice, then drank the entire glass of water in one breath.
When she was done drinking, she spit out the straw and lay back down on the pillow.
"Jiujiu," Ruan Qi's lips finally turned a little bloody.
She raised her eyes, looked at the man's thin face, and said slowly: "When I was unconscious, I had a very long dream."
"What's in the dream?"
"There are a lot of people." The girl's weak voice sounded faintly, "The children in Xiaoyao Village, they all thanked me in my dreams. They said that with Jiang Chunian's death, their obsessions have dissipated and they can go to reincarnation. Jiujiu, do you think reincarnation really exists in this world?"
"Yes." Xi Jiu touched her head, his voice gentle, "Since Bai Li exists, there must be reincarnation. The suffering those children endured in this life will be transformed into blessings in the next life."
Ruan Qi got the answer she wanted, and a smile appeared on her slightly pale face.
"You're right. They will all live peacefully and smoothly in their next lives... Jiujiu, when I recover, please accompany me to Xiaoyao Manor. I want to pay tribute to those children."
After Jiang Chunian fled the country ten years ago, the area of Xiaoyao Village was razed to the ground.
However, the house can be demolished, but the life that remains there can never be erased.
That piece of land is where those children were buried and it is also their grave.
Ruan Qi wanted to go there and pay his respects to them.
Xi Jiu frowned worriedly: "Will you feel uncomfortable going to that place?"
"No." Ruan Qi smiled and shook her head. "The moment I killed Jiang Chunian with my own hands, my inner demon disappeared. Neither he nor Xiaoyao Manor will have any influence on me anymore. Jiujiu, my hatred has been avenged, and I should move on."
