Chapter 51 Confessing
Just then, Si Zuochen responded, "How could that be? The two of them are very close. Didn't they leave together this morning?"
She then looked at Si Youlin and warned him, "Don't believe her. She's definitely two-faced."
Jiang Ran listened and chuckled to herself.
Now look what happened! Not only did I fail to gain any goodwill, but I also inadvertently acquired a bad impression of being "two-faced."
Turning around, she looked at Si Zuochen with a helpless expression: "You all soften when you see the old lady, why can't you share some of your kindness with me?"
Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen smirked and chuckled, "It depends on the person."
Jiang Ran listened, shook her head, and chuckled softly.
Then he stood up to leave, but paused slightly at the door and spoke again to remind her.
"I've already told you this before, but I'll emphasize it again: don't give things to people casually, or you'll get into trouble without even realizing it."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Si Youlin looked at Si Zuochen in surprise, his face blank: "What does she mean?"
Si Zuochen shook his head: "Nonsense literature, it's just preaching."
In contrast to his nonchalant attitude, Si Youlin looked thoughtfully at the door and asked in confusion.
"But she came back just to say this?"
Seeing that he seemed a little troubled, Si Zuochen couldn't help but pat his head: "What are you thinking about?"
"Are you about to be fooled by her again?"
"I didn't!" Si Youlin quickly retorted, only to see Si Zuochen open the watch's photo album and hand it to him.
He reached out and took it, staring at the photo with a shocked expression: "This..."
Si Zuochen, peeling an apple, replied without even looking up, "Obviously, it must be her new love."
Si Youlin stared blankly at the photo.
Then Si Zuochen continued speaking, his tone full of sarcasm.
“I told you long ago that she has ulterior motives, but you just wouldn’t believe me and kept trying to believe her.”
"Now it's all right, the pictures speak for themselves."
Upon hearing this, Si Youlin felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by something, and a wave of bitterness washed over him.
He had never felt this bad, not even when Jiang Ran hit him.
So this is what it feels like to be deceived...
Si Zuochen didn't hear a reply for a long time. He looked up and saw Si Youlin with a pale face and blank staring at one spot.
Seeing his expression, Si Zuochen quickly stood up, put down what he was holding, and called out, "Ah Lin..."
Si Youlin slowly turned his head to look at him, but his gaze was unfocused.
Si Zuochen was startled and hurriedly asked, "Are you alright? Where does it hurt? I'll go get a doctor for you."
As he was about to walk outside, Si Youlin reached out and grabbed his arm to stop him.
She said weakly, "I'm fine."
Then she tilted her head slightly and chuckled to herself, "I just never expected that she would treat us like clowns and deceive us every time."
Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen knew that he still couldn't let go of that woman.
Si Youlin is sentimental and craves maternal love the most. So, if that woman shows him even the slightest kindness, he will eventually soften his heart, even if he is stubborn.
In his view, Jiang Ran had this advantage over him, which was why she repeatedly pretended to be concerned for their interests.
Si Youlin knew she was doing this for her own gain, so he naturally couldn't accept it for a moment.
“Ah Lin…”
Just as Si Zuochen was about to speak up and offer some advice, he saw Si Youlin turn over, cover his head with the blanket, and look like he didn't want to say anything more.
Seeing this, Si Zuochen frowned slightly, covered him with the blanket, and sat quietly beside him, watching him.
As darkness fell, Gu Nan came to pick him up and take him back to the villa to rest.
Si Zuochen couldn't help but worry as he watched Si Youlin remain inactive all afternoon.
She wanted to stay, but Gu Nan immediately rejected the idea, saying that the hospital didn't have enough beds and she wouldn't be able to rest well.
Helpless, Si Zuochen had no choice but to get up and pat Si Youlin on the shoulder: "I'm leaving now. I'll come pick you up from the hospital tomorrow."
Si Youlin, hiding under the covers, responded in a low, muffled voice, "Mmm."
————
In the dead of night, the hospital was silent. Si Youlin lay on the hospital bed, groaning softly. His body was burning hot, and his consciousness was gradually fading. He had clearly developed a high fever.
Just then, he suddenly felt a cold hand covering his body. The coolness made him feel much more comfortable, and he hurriedly grabbed it for a moment of comfort.
Jiang Ran sat quietly by the bed, watching his flushed face due to the high fever, and a feeling of pity rose in her heart.
After she left today, she felt uneasy and couldn't help but come to check on him late at night, only to find that he had suddenly developed a high fever.
She couldn't help but feel a little relieved that she had gone to all that trouble.
Instead of calling a doctor, he locked the door and took out silver needles to apply pressure to the acupoints.
In no time, Si Youlin's condition improved visibly; his complexion gradually returned to normal, and he stopped groaning.
My consciousness became hazy, and I slowly drifted off to sleep.
Jiang Ran reached out and gently touched his forehead. After feeling his body temperature gradually drop and return to normal, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Then she sat on the edge of the bed and took a tissue to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Looking at his sleeping face, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
He muttered to himself, "She's more obedient when she's quiet. The moment she starts talking, it's like she's my enemy from a past life..."
She couldn't help but complain aloud. Si Youlin seemed to sense something, grunted, and then turned over.
Jiang Ran immediately stopped what she was doing, thinking she had woken him up.
After seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, she sighed softly, realizing that she had really scared herself.
She stayed at the hospital for a long time, and by the time she returned to the villa it was almost midnight.
Just as I was about to go back to my room, I heard a slight noise coming from Si Yanxiao's room. I turned around and saw that there was no one there.
Unable to contain his curiosity, he turned around and walked over. He pushed open the door and saw that only Si Yanxiao was lying on the bed, with the medical equipment next to him displaying his vital signs.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran was about to turn around and leave when she thought again that she was going out late at night to make selfless contributions, but she still couldn't get their understanding.
The more I think about it, the more unbalanced I feel. There's not even anyone in this world I can talk to.
He paused for a moment, then went inside and closed the door behind him.
Sitting beside the hospital bed, looking at Si Yanxiao's handsome face, she murmured softly, "Since you won't wake up anyway, it shouldn't be a problem to talk to a person in a vegetative state, right?"
"I have no one to talk to here, I'm so bored."
"What's most infuriating is that doing a good deed still leads to misunderstandings. If this were before, I would have..."
Jiang Ran suddenly stopped mid-sentence, a hint of sadness creeping into her voice: "Yes, things aren't what they used to be..."
"Now there are only those two unfortunate children and a useless husband."
“They both have a lot of opinions about me. They say I have ulterior motives no matter what I do.”
"After all, he is my child. I can't just abandon him."
