Chapter 417 Letting Go of the Past
After showing her the photos, Han Chuang excitedly took out several gold commemorative coins from his bag.
"Mom, my older sister always gives me a reward when I get first place in my exams. Look, these are commemorative coins with the date engraved on them. I love them so much."
Every daily routine shared by Han Chuang touched Ji Qing's heart. Even their biological parents had not been as devoted as Han Xi.
Back then, Ji Qing was only thinking about how to seize power and profit from the company, and never really cared about the children.
Now that she sees Han Xi has made up for their mistake, she is extremely grateful.
“Chuangchuang, Mom can feel that you are very happy now.”
Han Chuang nodded happily: "Yes, I'm even happier than before. In the past, you were all very busy every day and left me with the nanny. You never took me out to play, but now my sister and brother-in-law play with me."
Once he started talking, he continued, "And then there's Yuxuan and his sister. Don't underestimate Yuxuan just because he's not even four years old. He knows a lot and has taught me many interesting things."
Ji Qing turned to look at Han Xi, mustered her courage, grabbed her hand, and choked out, "If the child weren't here, I would have already knelt down before you."
“There’s no need for that. I’m just taking care of an innocent child.” Han Xi did this not for her sake at all.
Despite this, Ji Qing was still extremely grateful. She sobbed, "Our Han Chuang must have burned incense in his past life to be able to meet such a good person as you in this life. Han Xi, thank you so much. I have no way to repay you."
"Then reform him properly and set an example for the child of admitting and correcting his mistakes." Han Xi's words were still filled with goodwill, which made Ji Qing feel extremely guilty.
If she had known things would turn out this way, she would never have interfered in Han Xi's family and would never have let her lose her mother.
Ji Qing lowered her head deeply to express her apology. Now that Han Chuang was by her side, she could die in peace.
"I will definitely reform myself. Thank you for everything you've done."
Han Chuang held her hand and said, "Mom, don't cry. My sister said she'll bring me to see you often in the future. We can meet on our birthdays and during holidays."
After saying that, she remembered something else and quickly added, "Oh right, my sister also said that if you behave well during the Spring Festival, you can be released on bail for two days. You have to do your best!"
Seeing the children full of life, Ji Qing felt as if she herself had been resurrected.
She felt like she was living a life of unbearable hardship in prison, with no hope of survival whatsoever.
But after meeting Han Chuang this time, seeing how eager he was to share the things around him, and realizing how important I am to him, I understood that living is each other's hope.
"Han Xi..."
Ji Qing called her name but couldn't speak, so he could only grab her hand tightly to express his gratitude.
Han Xi said, "Xiao Chuang is my younger brother. I will take good care of him. You can rest assured about that."
Han Chuang wiped away her tears and said, "Next time we meet, Mom, please don't cry like this anymore. I like seeing you smile."
Ji Qing wiped away her tears and embraced him. At that moment, she realized that she had not lost her beloved son, but only her freedom.
"Okay, Mom promises you, you have to listen to your sister at home and take good care of your two little nephews, okay?"
“I know, my grandma and the others all say I’m great, and everyone is very kind to me.”
The child's eyes shone brightly, and his face wore a genuine smile. Ji Qing covered her mouth; the Gu family's kindness was something she hadn't anticipated, and this guilt was all the more tormenting.
She will spend the rest of her life repenting for causing Gu Shu's death.
When it was time to visit, Han Xi could only leave with Han Chuang, who was reluctant to part with her.
As they walked out of the prison, Han Chuang took her hand and said, "Mom told me to listen to my sister and protect you from now on, and I will do that."
“Our Xiao Chuang is a man too, I believe in you.”
The siblings chatted and laughed as they got into the car, and Han Xi's resentment gradually subsided.
In the afternoon, thick smoke suddenly billowed from the inpatient department of the Central Hospital, and the alarm bells rang soon after, plunging the hospital into chaos.
Medical staff were frantically transferring patients, pedestrians were running around in panic, and the corridors were full of people running, making it impossible to tell who was who.
Two medical staff in white coats carried a stretcher to the door and anxiously instructed, "Assistant Li, there's a fire. The hospital has sent us to pick up the old man and move him to the ward across the street."
Seeing the thick smoke filling the corridor, Li Yuan quickly instructed his bodyguards to help.
"Quickly, carry the old man upstairs."
After the bodyguards lifted the old man onto a stretcher, they followed the medical staff and left.
When they reached the elevator, the medical staff instructed them: "You cannot take the elevator during the fire. You must use the safety passage. Go ahead and scout ahead to avoid being trapped by the fire downstairs."
The bodyguard nodded and quickly went downstairs to check the situation. The medical staff turned back to Li Yuan, who was following closely behind, and said, "Mr. Li, did you get the old man's medicine? This was specially prepared for him by the doctor."
Li Yuan was in such a hurry to leave that he naturally didn't think about those things.
"I didn't take it!"
The medical staff said urgently, "This medicine will take two days to prepare. The old man's current condition requires him to take it every day. Please go back and get it as soon as possible."
Li Yuan was naturally aware of the situation and said with a headache, "I understand. I'll go back and get it right away. You all need to keep a close eye on the old man. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible."
The medical staff nodded repeatedly. After Li Yuan left, the two immediately opened the elevator, where people were already waiting.
The people in the elevator quickly changed their clothes. The medical staff who had been wearing white coats had also changed into casual clothes and were pushing wheelchairs out of the hospital with an air of nonchalance.
When Li Yuan got the medicine and rushed back, the person was already gone. He thought they had gone downstairs, but when he led his men toward the stairs, he saw the bodyguards also going up.
He asked in confusion, "What's going on? Didn't you go with the old man?"
The bodyguard replied, "Assistant Li, the doctor just asked us to check the floor situation. There was no fire downstairs, so we came up here to inform you."
So that means they didn't go down at all, and in this emergency situation, it's impossible for them to go up.
Realizing something was wrong, he quickly gathered everyone: "Oh no! Someone has kidnapped the old man! Find him quickly!"
The situation was critical at the time, and no one thought too much. The other party was medical staff carrying a stretcher, so Li Yuan had no idea that something was wrong.
After searching the entire inpatient department and turning the whole hospital upside down, they realized they were in trouble.
Li Yuan immediately notified Bo Siye, who was still attending a board meeting, and rushed to the hospital.
Seeing that the hospital staff were all people he had arranged, yet they still managed to lose track of an elderly person, Bo Siye gritted his teeth, wishing he could execute them on the spot.
"Haven't found them yet? It takes real skill to rescue someone from your hands. Shen Jiheng has only just returned and there's already this commotion. It seems he's very curious about the Bo family's affairs."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Bo. It's all my fault. I let the other party take advantage of the situation."
Bo Siye didn't blame him. Given the situation, he would have fallen for it too.
