“Ningning, I did that for your own good. At that time, Shen Lin’s life or death was unknown, and I could not let you carry that child. Besides, that man is not worth you having a child for him.”
As soon as Huo Yanzhi finished speaking, Ye Xinning raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.
She used all her strength in that slap, and Huo Yanzhi's face was turned to the side.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with hatred and coldness as she looked at Huo Yanzhi; she had never felt this way before.
Huo Yanzhi met her gaze, and after being slapped, he laughed instead of getting angry.
"You hate me, don't you?"
Shouldn't I hate it?
Huo Yanzhi was very close to her. Ye Xinning reached into her coat pocket and took it out again, this time with a fruit knife in her hand.
She took the fruit knife from Aunt Wen's car; she had prepared for the worst before coming.
If things were really as she thought, then she had to do something for her child, whose life had been cruelly taken away by Huo Yanzhi before he was even born.
When Huo Yanzhi saw her take out a knife, he not only did not dodge, but instead walked towards her step by step.
How could Ye Xinning not know what Huo Yanzhi was thinking? He was gambling.
I'm betting on whether she'll make a move.
Isn't this something Huo Yanzhi has always been good at? When they were young, he pretended to be harmless and came to Huo Qijun's house. Later, he used her mother and the media in Nancheng to create the illusion that they were extremely in love.
He may have already determined that she wouldn't make a move.
She smiled, increasing the pressure in her hand. As the knife plunged into Huo Yanzhi's body, her expression could even be described as calm.
She still held the knife in her hand, and blood slowly stained Huo Yanzhi's clothes. She calmly withdrew her hand and strode forward.
Behind her was Huo Yanzhi's voice, which sounded like he was laughing, "Fine, this knife has paid back that child, but Ningning, if it happened again, I would still make the same choice. I love you. From the day I met you, I said that no matter where we are, this love will never fade until death."
Hearing the voice behind her, Ye Xinning felt no panic, as if she wasn't the one who had just stabbed Huo Yanzhi.
Huo Yanzhi said he loved her, but she only felt ironic and disgusted; this was not love.
If Huo Yanzhi loved her, how could he do these things that caused her unbearable pain, how could he bear to let her suffer like this?
She walked forward step by step, slowly and weakly, feeling excruciating pain in her internal organs.
She lost her child five years ago.
She once had the opportunity to have a child with Shen Lin.
She walked towards Wen Yu, who approached her worriedly. Before she could even say "Miss," Ye Xinning's body went limp and collapsed to the ground. Not far behind her, Huo Yanzhi also fell to the ground, the scene a sea of red.
Aunt Wen was stunned, unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.
As for Ye Xinning, she just felt too tired, too tired. The sense of powerlessness and exhaustion that welled up from the depths of her heart was about to engulf her whole being.
All she wanted was to get a good night's sleep; perhaps, once she was asleep, the pain would subside.
Ye Xinning leaned against Aunt Wen's chest, and before she completely lost consciousness, she seemed to see a familiar car...
...
Hospital.
In the VIP ward, Shen Lin stood in front of the bed. The woman on the bed had no color in her face, and even in her sleep, she was still frowning, looking very painful.
Shen Nanxing was still examining her, his mind filled with the scene he had witnessed at the Ye family's house that evening.
She collapsed into Wen Yu's arms, her face pale and horribly disfigured. Meanwhile, in the Ye family's courtyard, Huo Yanzhi had been stabbed and lay on the ground, his life hanging by a thread.
What happened before he arrived?
Did she inflict the injuries on Huo Yanzhi?
Why would a perfectly normal person come to the Ye family in the middle of the night? How many things between her and Huo Yanzhi are there that he doesn't know?
One question after another piled up in Shen Lin's mind with no way out. He was preoccupied with his thoughts, while Shen Nanxing had already finished her examination.
"Big brother." Shen Nanxing called him several times but received no response, so he raised his voice on the last call.
Shen Lin snapped out of his reverie, his gaze falling on the person on the bed with their eyes closed. "How is she?"
"It's nothing serious, he just fainted from the shock, he'll wake up later."
Stimulated...
Shen Lin pressed his thin lips together, remaining silent.
Shen Nanxing asked curiously, "The man I saw being taken to the hospital with my sister-in-law just now, was that Huo Yanzhi?"
Shen Lin remained silent, but Shen Nanxing spoke again. There was no way around it; her gossip spirit was burning fiercely within her.
"Is the shock your sister-in-law suffered related to that man? What exactly happened?"
“Shen Nanxing, if you have a lot of free time, you can study the medical records you have more and improve your medical skills.”
Shen Nanxing, "..."
If you don't want me to ask, then you don't want me to ask.
She pursed her lips and conceded, "Fine, I'll go then. I think it's not that you didn't want to tell me, it's that you didn't know either."
After saying this, Shen Nanxing gave Shen Lin a look, and before Shen Lin could get angry, she quickly left the ward.
...
Only Shen Lin and the unconscious woman remained in the ward.
He sat down by the bed and carefully examined the woman's sleeping posture. She was sleeping restlessly, and her expression was painful, as if she were having a nightmare.
He reached out and smoothed her furrowed brow.
So, what exactly happened?
Wenzhu knocked on the ward door, and Chen Lin got up.
Outside the ward, Shen Lin asked, "How did it go? Did you find out?"
Wen Zhu nodded. "I asked Wen Yu, who serves Madam, and it's true that the wounds on Huo Yanzhi's body were inflicted by Madam herself."
"Why?"
"Wen Yu didn't say this. She only asked me to tell you that if you want to know about tonight's events, you can ask Madam yourself, because she doesn't know whether Madam wants to tell you or not. She can't say this behind Madam's back."
Wen Yu has always respected Ye Xinning, and Shen Lin knows this.
This can be seen from the fact that Wen Yu has been secretly helping Ye Xinning investigate many things, big and small, ever since she married him.
"I understand." Shen Lin lowered his voice, then, thinking of Huo Yanzhi, asked, "How is Huo Yanzhi doing?"
"There is no danger to his life. Although the wound is deep, it did not hit any vital organs."
Shen Lin hummed in agreement and nodded. "Understood. Keep an eye on it."
"Yes, Mr. Shen."
Wenzhu left, and Chen Lin stood quietly at the door for a long time before pushing open the ward door again and going in.
My gaze fell on the hospital bed, but I didn't know when the person on the bed had woken up.
Their eyes met, and in Ye Xinning's eyes, Shen Lin saw a sorrow he had never seen before...
