Xia Jing stood at the door, her body slightly stiff. She was stared at by Lin Yuexi. She dodged her gaze unconsciously, her fingers tugged at the corner of her clothes nervously, and spoke softly with a hint of embarrassment that was difficult to conceal: "I behaved well in prison, so I was released early. I heard that Wen Lei was in trouble, so I came to see him..."
As she spoke, her gaze passed Lin Yuexi and looked at Xie Wenlei who was sleeping on the hospital bed. A complex look flashed in her eyes, with guilt, worry, and a trace of melancholy that was difficult for others to detect.
Lin Yuexi's brows knitted tighter, her eyes full of vigilance. She took a step forward, as if to protect Xie Wenlei behind her, and said in a cold voice: "You came to see him?"
In Lin Yuexi's heart, Xia Jing's crime was unforgivable. She couldn't let it go easily, and she couldn't immediately believe that Xia Jing came here just out of concern.
The air in the ward seemed to freeze in an instant, filled with a tense atmosphere, and every second of silence was like a silent confrontation.
At this moment, Xie Wenlei slowly woke up. He felt dizzy and his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. It took a lot of effort for him to slowly open his eyes.
He first saw his mother who looked concerned beside the bed, then turned his gaze to Lin Yuexi beside him. After looking at her for a while, his eyes finally stayed firmly on his mother.
He opened his mouth, his voice slightly hoarse, and asked weakly: "Mom, why are you here?"
Xia Jing's eyes turned red instantly, tears welled up in her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly.
Hearing her son's voice, she could no longer suppress her inner excitement. She rushed forward, tightly grasped her son's hand, and said, "Wenlei, Mom behaved well in prison and was released early! Wenlei, how do you feel now? If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, tell Mom..."
"Mom, I'm fine, don't cry..." Xie Wenlei was barely able to catch his breath, and his weak voice was like a candle flame blown away by the wind, but he was still trying to comfort his mother.
He raised his hand, wanting to wipe away the tears from his mother's eyes, but his arms were so weak that he could only wave them in the air for a moment before slowly falling down.
Lin Yuexi stood aside, watching this scene, feeling mixed emotions.
She stood there quietly for a moment, with a complicated expression on her face. Then, the corners of her mouth drooped slightly, revealing a hint of helplessness and boredom.
She was too lazy to continue witnessing the deep love between mother and son, so she turned around and hurriedly left Xie Wenlei's ward.
These days, she has been busy trying to save Xie Wenlei.
He only took time out of his busy schedule to call Director Zhang and briefly explained the situation. After that, he devoted all his attention to Xie Wenlei and completely forgot about the important task of tracking down the murderer.
When she walked out of the ward at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and she suddenly remembered, thinking in her heart: Xie Wenlei is no longer in danger, and Xia Jing is taking care of him, so it's time to track down the murderer.
The murderer must have had a grudge against me, and must be well aware of my and Xie Wenlei's daily routine, otherwise he would not have been able to find such a best place and time.
In the ward, after Lin Yuexi left, the conversation between Xia Jing and Xie Wenlei and his mother became increasingly heated.
"Son, you are so stupid. Lin Yuexi is not your biological sister. Why do you have to protect her from disaster?" Xia Jing burst into tears. The tears flowed down her cheeks and dripped on the back of Xie Wenlei's hand. Her words were full of heartache and confusion.
"Mom, what are you saying? I'm not saving her, I'm saving you..." Xie Wenlei's breath was weak, and every word he said seemed to have exhausted all his strength, but his eyes were extremely firm.
"Son, you know everything?..." Upon hearing this, Xia Jing's body shook violently, her face full of astonishment and panic, and her voice trembled unconsciously.
"Yes..." Xie Wenlei gently closed his eyes, and the thrilling scene emerged in his mind. "When the black car rushed over like lightning, I knew it!"
"Son, why are you so stupid! This woman took away everything that belonged to you. She deserved to die..."
Xia Jing's emotions suddenly became agitated, the gentleness on her face completely disappeared, replaced by twisted hatred, and she spoke viciously.
"Mom, don't do this again." Xie Wenlei frowned slightly, a few fine lines appeared on his forehead, and a trace of pain flashed quickly in his eyes. The pain was fleeting, but it was like a deep cut in his heart.
Although his voice was soft, it was full of unquestionable power as he continued, "She is my father's daughter. Blood is thicker than water. She has the right to get what the Xie family has. This is an unchangeable fact."
"What about you?" Xia Jing became more and more agitated, her eyes reddened, her voice full of resentment and resentment, "You are the only son of the Xie family. That old man and your father changed their attitude towards us as soon as they saw Lin Yuexi..."
Having said this, she paused, bit her lower lip tightly, and hatred seemed to overflow from between her teeth.
All the grievances and resentments that he had once felt in the Xie family now poured out like a flood.
"Mom, that's what grandpa and dad wanted." Xie Wenlei sighed, with a bit of helplessness on his face, and patiently explained, "Sister is very capable. She has her own career and ambitions. She has no intention of encroaching on the Xie family's property."
He paused slightly, recalling the scene of meeting Lin Yuexi that day, his eyes became a little softer, "Besides, she came to the bar to find me that night, and her attitude was very sincere, saying that she wanted to return the two shops that my grandfather gave her to me.
Mom, you really misunderstood her! My sister is now a well-known figure in the whole of China. With her wealth and status, she doesn't need these little things at all."
"Silly son! She gave you two shops, and you are so grateful to her! These two shops originally belonged to you, and she took the initiative to return them to you. She is sensible..." Xia Jing was dissatisfied with her son's attitude.
Just as Xie Wenlei was about to persuade his mother again, a nurse knocked on the door and came over and said, "Family member, the patient is just getting better. We can't chat for too long. Please be careful and let her rest more..."
Xia Jing nodded quickly, a polite smile on her face, and said to the nurse: "I am Wen Lei's mother. I'm sorry, we were a little excited when we just met. We will speak in a low voice now. Thank you for your hard work."
After the nurse left, the ward fell into a brief silence, with only the sound of Xie Wenlei's weak breathing.
Xie Wenlei took this opportunity to take a deep breath, calm down, and speak again: "Mom, let's not talk about these unhappy things anymore. The past is over, and the important thing now is to look forward."
Xia Jing was silent for a moment, and muttered in a low voice: "I just can't swallow this. For so many years, I have suffered in the Xie family..." Her voice became lower and lower, with endless grievances and unwillingness.
