Chapter 219 The young master is alright
Li Mai's tears soaked Zhou Songyan's clothes.
“I’ve watched Chengcheng grow from such a small child to this big boy. I’m always afraid he’ll get hurt. When he was little, I would feel heartbroken if he fell down. Seeing him lying there unable to speak or call me ‘Mom’ makes me feel so sad. My heart is being torn apart.”
"Honey, Chengcheng is still so young, how could Guan Qing do such a thing? She can do anything to me, why would she want to hurt Chengcheng?"
Zhou Songyan's face was cold and stern.
He wasn't careful enough. He knew Guan Qing was a dangerous person and should have been more careful in protecting himself.
He pulled Li Mai closer to his chest.
"Chengcheng will be alright."
Chengcheng is Zhou Songyan's son. The little guy is strong and brave, he'll be alright.
...
An hour later, Chengcheng was pushed out.
Li Mai immediately got up and ran over, wanting to touch Chengcheng, but then pulled her hand back.
Chengcheng lay there quietly, his little face pale.
Li Mai dared not touch him.
Doctor: "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, the young master is alright. The injury on his forehead isn't serious; we've already treated it. He's currently unconscious because he's been given a sedative, and he should wake up tomorrow."
Li Mai's legs gave way and she collapsed.
A large hand caught her just in time.
"Wife!"
Li Mai steadied herself by holding onto his hand and gave him a reassuring look.
"I'm fine."
Upon learning that Chengcheng was alright, her heart finally relaxed, which caused her legs to go weak.
Chengcheng was wheeled into the ward, and Limai stayed by his side.
Zhou Songyan's phone rang, and he went outside to answer it.
Sun Yuanjie's voice came through the phone: "President Zhou, what should we do about Guan Qing?"
Sending Guan Qing to the police station was useless; she was released again after a few days.
Zhou Songyan's expression was cold, and his voice was icy.
“Send him back to the mental hospital and keep him in solitary confinement.”
Zhou Songyan didn't need to say anything more; Sun Yuanjie knew what to do.
I hung up the phone.
Zhou Songyan pushed open the door and entered. Li Mai was sitting next to the hospital bed, staring intently at Chengcheng.
Zhou Songyan walked over and placed his large hand on her shoulder.
"He's fine now, you can rest for a while."
Li Mai did not turn around.
"I'm not tired."
A short while later, one of Zhou Songyan's assistants brought in the food, arranged it, and then left.
Due to the unexpected accident, no one had lunch.
Li Mai has no appetite.
"I don't want to eat."
Zhou Songyan forcefully pulled her to sit on the sofa and stuffed a pair of chopsticks into her hand.
"Eat a little bit."
Li Mai ate a small portion of rice and then put down her chopsticks.
"I can't eat anymore."
Zhou Songyan did not force her any further.
He didn't have much of an appetite, so he simply packed up the lunchbox.
...
The Zhou family only learned of Chengcheng's accident the next day and rushed to the hospital.
When they arrived, Chengcheng was already awake, eating the fried chicken Zhou Songyan had bought with great enthusiasm, his mouth glistening with oil.
The little guy is in good physical condition; he woke up at eight o'clock in the morning.
He immediately started asking for fried chicken.
"Dad, I didn't get to eat the fried chicken yesterday. I dreamt about it last night and my mouth was watering. Can you buy me some?"
Zhou Songyan wanted to refuse.
Li Mai said without any principles, "Buy it! I'll buy you whatever you want to eat, baby."
Early in the morning, before the fried chicken shop even opened, Zhou Songyan called the hotel, and they prepared and delivered the chicken.
I just started eating.
The little guy cried from the smell.
The Zhou family saw this scene as soon as they entered.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief that Chengcheng was alright.
Grandma Zhou patted Zhou Songyan on the back several times.
"You brat, such a big thing happened to my great-grandson, and you're only telling us now? What are you up to?"
Zhou Songyan said helplessly, "I was just afraid you'd worry."
Telling everyone is just a helpless expression of anxiety, there's nothing we can do.
Besides, Grandma and Father are old and can't handle any stress.
Grandma Zhou didn't say anything in the end.
He ran to guard Chengcheng.
Chengcheng was a little embarrassed: "Don't look at me, I'm too embarrassed to eat."
Mrs. Zhou waved her hand and said, "You can all leave now. I'll stay here and watch over Chengcheng."
The crowd dispersed.
Zhou Songyan took Li Mai back to the villa on Qingshui Road.
The two went home and took a shower.
Li Mai was about to go to the hospital when Zhou Songyan forcibly pressed her onto the bed.
Li Mai struggled: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Songyan lay down next to her, clamping her legs around her and holding her tightly in his arms.
"Go to sleep, and go after you wake up."
"I'm not sleepy."
"I'm sleepy, sleep with me."
"But……"
"Honey, Chengcheng is alright. Grandma's there, so don't worry."
"What if Guan Qing..."
"She can't get out."
Li Mai stopped moving and closed her eyes.
The couple slept for three hours, then got up and had lunch before going to the hospital.
Chengcheng underwent a full-body check-up that afternoon and was discharged from the hospital after finding nothing wrong.
...
Guan Qing was locked in a small room by herself. No one gave her electroshock therapy or fed her large amounts of medicine.
But she couldn't get out; the room didn't even have windows. It was as if she had been forgotten there, and no matter how much she called out, no one came to see her.
After being locked up for two days, she couldn't take it anymore. She became agitated and frantic, smashing things and yelling.
Despite making such a commotion, no one came to even glance at her.
...
That evening, Zhou Songyan received a call from Sun Yuanjie.
"Mr. Zhou, Guan Qing committed suicide."
Guan Qing used a shard of broken porcelain to cut her wrists. When she was discovered, she was already dead and her body was cold.
Zhou Songyan's expression remained unchanged.
...
Li Mai covered Chengcheng with the blanket and stood up.
Goodnight, my love.
Goodnight, Mom.
Li Mai turned off the lights and went outside.
Seeing that the study light was still on, she went over.
"Honey, aren't you going to sleep yet?"
Zhou Songyan closed his laptop, got up and walked towards her, bending down to pick her up.
Li Mai naturally hooked her arm around his neck, her eyes smiling.
Why did you suddenly hug me?
Zhou Songyan curled the corners of her lips: "I want a hug."
Li Mai pressed her face against his chest, feeling his heartbeat there.
"Okay, that's a good option."
Carrying Li Mai back to the room, Zhou Songyan kicked the door shut and carried Li Mai to the big bed.
"Wife, Guan Qing is dead."
Li Mai: "..."
"You killed him?"
Li Mai was terrified.
Although Guan Qing was despicable and deserved punishment, she didn't want Zhou Songyan to do anything illegal; it wasn't worth it for such trash.
Zhou Songyan was amused by her appearance.
"She committed suicide. I didn't kill her."
Li Mai breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Zhou Songyan didn't break the law, that's fine.
"Honey, you have me and Chengcheng, you absolutely mustn't do anything illegal, I don't want anything to happen to you."
Zhou Songyan laughed and said, "I know, I'm so happy now, how could I bear to ruin it?"
Li Mai was relieved.
...
The day before the wedding.
Li Shirong and Zheng Anze came to find Li Mai.
Li Shirong looked at the luxurious villa with envy in her eyes.
The Zhou family is one of the top wealthy families in Beijing; they probably own many more villas like this.
"Li Mai, your wedding with Zhou Songyan is tomorrow, right?"
Li Mai nodded.
Li Shirong: "Your older brother and I will go over there."
Li Shirong spoke as if they were giving Li Mai a lot of face by attending a wedding.
Li Mai gave a slight twitch of her lips: "No need, there are no seats assigned to you."
