Chapter 276 Soaring Hatred~Resentment
Although her voice was very soft and quiet, it still startled Fu Lichen.
He slowly turned his head and saw a slender figure beside him. "Mianmian?"
"Dad. How is Mom?" Xia Mian looked up and met Fu Lichen's eyes. "I'm so worried about her."
"The doctor said she'll be observed in the ICU for 24 hours, and if there's no danger to her life, she can be transferred out," Fu Lichen replied gently. "The knife injured her lower abdomen. She'll need a long time to recover."
"I hope my mom is alright." Xia Mian nodded, still looking worried.
"Mianmian!" Just then, she heard Fu Yanshen's familiar voice. She subconsciously turned around and saw Fu Yanshen's tall figure walking quickly towards her.
Behind Fu Yanshen was Zhao Baoqi, the twins supporting Old Madam Fu.
"Mianmian." Fu Yanshen reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her into his arms. "How are things now? Is Mom out of danger?"
He never expected something so dangerous to happen.
As Xia Mian nestled in the familiar and reassuring embrace, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally felt as if it had found a fortress, and the pressure eased slightly.
"Lu Lian'er died in a car accident."
"It can be considered that God avenged Mom."
Fu Yanshen frowned. "Lu Lian'er is actually dead?"
He still wanted to settle scores with her! But she was already dead; she got off too easily.
"Yes." Xia Mian nodded lightly, "I went to the morgue to check it myself."
Zhao Baoqi was shocked. "Heavens, she's actually dead? How could such a scourge die so easily?"
"You were poisoned by the Seven-Day Laughter drug entirely thanks to Lu Lian'er. She had Lu Wanyue steal this drug from Jin Liu." Fu Yanshen told Xia Mian the results of his investigation.
"Jin Liu's place is heavily guarded, how could Lu Wanyue have stolen it so easily?" Xia Mian wondered.
“Jin Liu did it on purpose. He knew all along that Lu Wanyue stole this medicine to poison you.” Fu Yanshen’s words were filled with hatred. “He turned the tables on you. After Lu Wanyue stole the medicine, she gave it to Lu Lian’er. Lu Lian’er hates you and poisoned you. Then, he can use you to control me.”
Fu Yanshen let out a soft breath, "It's alright, I will definitely find the antidote."
Xia Mian chuckled softly, "I feel fine, I don't have any other symptoms."
It's just that... it's just that I miss him too much, I crave him too much.
Fu Yanshen felt that she was forcing a smile, which made his heart ache.
He couldn't help but hug her even tighter.
"It's all my fault, Mianmian, I failed to protect you."
“No, it’s their fault. They’re so bad.” Xia Mian shook her head, comforting the man in front of her whose eyes were filled with intense self-blame. “Lu Lian’er and Jin Liu are both bad people. Especially Jin Liu, who commits all sorts of crimes and evil deeds. Most importantly, we can’t let this medicine end up on the market.”
A determined look flashed across Xia Mian's delicate face. "We must destroy them all!"
Fu Yanshen reached out and gently stroked her cheek, looking at her with deep affection. "You should become a righteous policewoman. Don't worry, Mianmian. Leave this to me."
Zhao Baoqi sat down next to the twins, glancing every now and then at Shen Yingshuang in the ICU through the glass window. "Auntie...Grandma, is that Auntie? Did I call her the wrong person?"
"Yes, it's your aunt. That's right." Old Madam Fu also looked at Shen Yingshuang. "It's really heartbreaking that she was stabbed. That girl surnamed Lu is truly ruthless."
"That's right. Lu Lian'er is dead now, all is well. Luckily, I don't have to see her anymore. Otherwise, I'm really afraid I'd stab her with a knife too." Zhao Baoqi gritted his teeth with hatred when he mentioned Lu Lian'er.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry." Xia Mian also took Fu Yanshen's hand and sat down. "She's dead. All the love, hate, and grudges should have left with her passing."
She originally really hated Lu Lian'er and loathed her.
But Lu Lian'er is already dead, she can't just drag Lu Lian'er out and whip her corpse, or torture her body again.
She's not that abnormal or neurotic.
As night deepened, everyone hurriedly ate the dinner that the housekeeper had brought over in the corridor of the hospital's ICU. Madam Fu was already quite tired.
Fu Yubai and Zhao Liangyuan, a married couple, also rushed over after getting off work.
Seeing the old lady yawn, they all urged her to go back and rest.
"Mom, we're fine here."
“Yes, Mom, Yu Bai and I won’t be here during the day, so we’ll keep watch at night.” Zhao Liangyuan urged Madam Fu, and then said to Fu Yanshen and the other younger family members, “You all go back too. Those who have school should go to school, and those who have work should go to work. We can’t let it affect anything.”
"I want to stay here with Mom," Xia Mian said softly to Zhao Liangyuan. "Uncle Zhao, why don't you and Auntie go back? You must be tired after working all day."
"Still calling me 'Auntie'!" Fu Yubai patted Xia Mian's shoulder lightly and said with a smile, "I'm your aunt now, your own aunt! This is your uncle!"
Fu Yubai stared expectantly at Xia Mian's pretty little face. No matter how he looked at her, he felt that his niece was not only beautiful but also outstanding, simply perfect!
Xia Mian's cheeks flushed. She hesitated for a moment, then said confidently, "Auntie, Uncle!"
"This is for you." Fu Yubai took a thick red envelope out of his bag and stuffed it into Xia Mian's hand. "Take it."
Xia Mian stared at the red envelope in astonishment. "Auntie? No need..."
"Of course." Fu Yubai reached out and hugged Xia Mian. "Mianmian, we are family, no need to be so polite with your aunt."
Zhao Baoqi was not up to the task, Fu Yanshen was determined to join the army, and the twins each had their own special skills.
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Xia Mian was the one who could take over the Fu Group.
Not to mention, Xia Mian's short drama company is now thriving, truly showing the style she had in her youth.
Xia Mian had no idea that from now on, Fu Yubai, the president of the Fu Group, her aunt, was grooming her as her successor.
Fu Yubai was increasingly pleased with Xia Mian; she had a worthy successor!
Zhao Baoqi helped Madam Fu up to leave, and the twins also stood up.
Fu Lichen walked up to Xia Mian and said, "Mianmian, go back now, I'll take care of things here!"
He told Fu Yubai and his wife to go back as well.
“I’m enough here on my own. She’s still in the ICU and doesn’t need so many people with her.”
Fu Yubai still felt sorry for her younger brother. "You've been here all day, you must be tired. You should go now."
As a result, Fu Lichen was also kicked out by Fu Yubai and his wife.
The whole family left the hospital, got into their respective cars, and headed towards the Fu Family Manor.
The car swayed and wobbled, and Xia Mian felt a little sleepy. Her little head gradually tilted to Fu Yanshen's shoulder.
