Just as Xiao Zhennan finished speaking, Qin Xiao walked in. Xiao Li looked up at him. After Qin Xiao approached Xiao Zhennan and called him "Dad," he sat down next to Xiao Li.
As for Xiao Zhengfang and Chang Fang opposite him, Qin Xiao just nodded slightly.
To Xiao Zhengfang and Chang Fang, they didn't care much about Qin Xiao…
Xiao Li turned her gaze to Chang Fang, "Aunt, Xiao Ting and Xiao Yan are injured, they should still be in the hospital now!
Crying here won't help.
Instead of crying here, why not go to the hospital and take good care of them.
How about this, I'll go with you, and I can visit them too…"
As she spoke, Xiao Li reached to pull Chang Fang up to go, but Chang Fang hesitated, "Oh… Xiao Li, your sister-in-law is at the hospital, and I still need to discuss the aftermath of the matter with your father, you can go see for yourself!
It's at the First Hospital in c City!"
Xiao Li smiled and escorted her out, "Aunt, you should go with me! I haven't seen sister-in-law since she joined the family, not familiar…
Besides, uncle is here, he can handle things…"
Xiao Ting got married two months ago, but Xiao Li was studying in S City and didn't attend, so she's never met Xiao Ting's wife.
Regarding the wedding two days ago, Xiao Li didn't pay attention to others, her mind was all on Qin Xiao…
Finishing her words, Xiao Li pulled Chang Fang out without any hesitation, but before leaving, she glanced at Qin Xiao, who smiled back.
At the hospital, Xiao Li followed Chang Fang to Xiao Ting's side first. Inside the ward, Xiao Ting's wife Xu Jia was using a cotton swab dipped in water to moisten his lips…
Seeing Chang Fang come in, she quickly stood up and called, "Mom…"
Chang Fang said coldly, "Has Ting'er woken up?"
Xu Jia shook her head, "No, he hasn't woken up yet."
Chang Fang looked at the bed for a moment, then turned to Xu Jia, "This is your cousin, here to see Ting'er."
Xiao Li nodded to Xu Jia, "Sister-in-law…"
Xu Jia nodded.
Xiao Li glanced at Xiao Ting on the bed, a dark light flashed deep in her eyes. In the past life, Xiao Yan had wronged her, and Xiao Ting had been an accomplice to it all.
For him to be targeted alongside Xiao Yan this time means he was involved in placing the iron plate under the floor previously.
Giving Xiao Ting a cold glance, Xiao Li looked around the room, it only had one bed, apparently, Xiao Yan wasn't in this ward.
"Aunt, where is Xiao Yan?"
Chang Fang replied, "Oh, she's in the ward next door, you can check on her yourself."
Hearing this, Xiao Li raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke indifferently, "I'll go have a look then…"
Entering the next ward, Xiao Li pushed open the door and came in, the room had only one bed, and Xiao Yan lay there alone, the only sound was from the monitor…
Looking at Xiao Yan at the moment, Xiao Li suddenly saw herself in the past life, when she lay there alone as well.
It's not that no one was willing to accompany her; from the moment she got into trouble, Qin Xiao had been by her side, but she rejected him and drove him away upon waking…
Afraid she'd hurt herself, Qin Xiao retreated.
During the subsequent hospitalization, Xiao Zhennan died, Qin Xiao was driven away, leaving Xiao Li alone…
Despite all this, Xiao Li felt more fortunate than Xiao Yan at this moment, at least she was loved.
Whereas for Xiao Yan, no one truly cared about her.
In the eyes of Xiao Zhengfang and Chang Fang, it was not just Xiao Yan; even Xiao Ting couldn't catch their attention.
In their eyes, from beginning to end, their focus was solely on their eldest son, Xiao Teng.
Step by step, Xiao Li walked toward the bed, where Xiao Yan happened to be awake. Seeing Xiao Li come over, she tried to say something, but with the fabric wrapped around her face, nothing came out…
From the one eye not covered by bandages, Xiao Li saw the hatred in her eyes…
Xiao Li gave her a cool glance then turned to leave.
She came to the hospital only to see if Xiao Yan's fate paralleled her own past misery.
Now that she had seen, she could leave.
In her past life, her closest relative left her during her hospitalization, and those days are now upon her; now she must return to stay with Xiao Zhennan.
Moreover, she needs to drive Xiao Zhengfang and others out of Xiao Corporation during this time, ensuring Xiao Yan loses everything while hospitalized.
When Xiao Li left, she walked directly out of Xiao Yan's ward, not wanting to face Chang Fang's fake demeanor again.
Back at the Xiao Family, Xiao Zhennan was playing chess with Qin Xiao, Xiao Zhengfang had already left.
That Xiao Zhengfang left didn't surprise Xiao Li, with Qin Xiao there, Xiao Zhengfang wouldn't gain anything. Xiao Li sat down next to them, "Dad, with your poor chess skills, you still ask others to play with you!"
Xiao Zhennan paused hearing this, "Who said my chess skills are poor? Have a look, I'm about to win, okay!"
Xiao Li didn't bother looking, speaking directly, "No matter how bad your skills are, you'll win, Qin Xiao wouldn't dare beat you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhennan immediately retorted, "What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting Ah Xiao deliberately loses to me?
Ah Xiao, tell her, did you let me win?"
Qin Xiao smiled but said nothing.
Xiao Li rolled her eyes upward, "Dad, if you ask it like that, would he dare say?"
Just then, Aunt Xu came to announce that lunch was ready, so everyone stopped worrying about the chess and went to eat.
During the meal, Xiao Zhennan wanted a drink to elevate the mood, but Xiao Li gestured to stop him, "Dad, Qin Xiao has to drive back, so he can't drink.
You shouldn't drink alone either, what's the point…"
After Xiao Li said this, Xiao Zhennan didn't drink, and the three of them joyfully had a reunion meal, then returned to the living room to sit…
As they sat on the sofa, Xiao Li took a sip of tea then seriously looked at Xiao Zhennan, "Dad, I know about your illness."
Xiao Zhennan paused mid-sip with his tea, stopping just at his lips.
Placing the teacup back on the table, Xiao Zhennan smiled, "You found out! Dad was thinking of telling you after your marriage, letting you happily finish your honeymoon before telling you…
Yesterday, I got your call knowing you didn't go on a honeymoon; today you're back, I was wondering if you had figured something out, turns out you really have.
I thought I kept it well hidden; how did you find out?"
Xiao Li smiled, "Dad, I studied medicine, your complexion wasn't right, how could I not notice?"
Saying this, Xiao Li felt a pang of regret inside, as in the past life she hadn't noticed…
Xiao Zhennan nodded, "Hmm, seems you've learned well in medicine…
Having a skill is good! Like your mom, unlike me, the knowledge in books just doesn't sink in!"
Xiao Li smiled, "What's lacking understanding? Dad, didn't you build Xiao Corporation, the family's fortune is all earned by you!
Having your mom by your side for all these years, she hasn't suffered a bit, and I've been raised like a princess by you since I was young, that's enough."
