Li Lingyi was ultimately unable to get in. After wandering around for a long time, she finally found the so-called door on the left.
It was more than half an hour later when we found the ward where Shen Min was staying.
In the ward.
Shen Min was still resting in bed, and Xia Xingchen was using the remote control to adjust the TV channel for Shen Min. When she heard someone knocking on the door, Xia Xingchen thought it was a doctor or nurse, so she put down the remote control, walked through the other small room, and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, both people inside and outside were stunned.
The first person to come to his senses was Xia Xingchen. She frowned and subconsciously tried to close the door. Li Lingyi was not welcome here.
"Xia Xingchen?" Li Ling came back to her senses and stared at her, "Why is it you?"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? What are you doing here?"
Li Ling looked her over. She didn't look sick enough to need someone to deliver meals to her for days. A woman's sixth sense is very scary. She suddenly pushed Xia Xingchen aside and walked quickly inside.
Xia Xingchen wanted to stop her, but once Li Ling became arrogant, she was no match for her strength. Li Ling rushed into the ward in a few steps and saw Shen Min lying on the bed watching TV.
She was wearing a hospital gown and a cape, leaning against the bed. Her hair was loose, and she looked very weak. She was thinner than she was many years ago. But even this look made her look even more sickly and pitiful. Although she was 50, she still had her charm.
As soon as Li Ling saw her, she never expected it to be her - she never expected that the person Xia Guopeng cooked for and served personally every day was actually Shen Min! She stood there, feeling a little dizzy, and a fire was burning in her heart.
Shen Min also saw her and was also surprised. But compared to Li Lingyi's anger, she was more confused. She cast her eyes on her daughter who followed in, as if asking why Li Lingyi was here. She didn't want to see this woman either.
"Mom, you should get some sleep first." Xia Xingchen came in, walked quickly to the bed, and put the bed down without making a sound.
"I was wondering... why Xia Guopeng has been acting so abnormal recently!" Li Ling spoke one by one, her voice shaking with anger. She stared at Shen Min straight in the eyes, as if she wanted to dig a hole in her, "So you were seducing her! Shen Min, you are really amazing! After leaving for more than 10 years, I thought you were really generous and no longer interfered between me and Guopeng. It turns out that you are just a hypocritical person! Now that Guopeng's life is better and we are in love, you are so angry that you want to come back and interfere again, right?"
Shen Min was confused by Li Lingyi's questioning. She didn't know how she got involved with that person while living in the hospital. But she was also angry when she saw Li Lingyi being so unreasonable and arrogant.
"Although I don't know how you inexplicably linked me to your husband, but seeing you so domineering and unreasonable today, I can imagine how you two have been through all these years. Loving each other? If you two really love each other, you wouldn't rush to me now and be so nervous!" Shen Min rarely spoke so harshly. After that, she turned to look at Xia Xingchen and said, "Help mom see the guest off. In the future, don't let people like this in, so as not to disturb the room!"
Xia Xingchen nodded.
Shen Min was too lazy to look at Li Lingyi again, as if she didn't take her seriously at all. There was really nothing to take seriously, it was all in the past, when they were young, they had never quarreled with Xia Guopeng, and now, she had no intention of getting entangled with him again.
But Li Lingyi didn't think so. But seeing her like that, she became even more furious.
"Shen Min, why are you still pretending to be noble?! Don't you despise being a third party? Why are you acting like one now? Let me tell you, if you still want to have a second spring with Xia Guopeng, you're dreaming!"
"I don't care if you and Xia Guopeng have a bad relationship, but please don't keep saying that you, him, and me are all together! A third party?" Shen Min sneered, "You are mean and think that everyone in the world is as mean as you. That's just stupidity!"
Li Ling gasped in anger.
"Did I wrong you?" She was almost smoking, and walked to the bedside in a few steps. There was a thermos bottle that she was very familiar with. Xia Xingchen's eyebrows jumped, and she saw Li Ling picked up the thermos bottle and threw it heavily to the ground.
There was a loud bang, shocking everyone in the ward.
Li Ling was completely out of control. She pointed at Shen Min, then at the mess on the ground. Her fingers were shaking, and her voice was trembling, "This is the evidence! Do you know? I went to the supermarket to buy this thermos for him. He usually works overtime too late, and I was afraid that he was not feeling well, so I boiled it for him and sent it to him! But now... now he actually uses it to serve you! He even cooks for you himself! Shen Min, tell me, how are you going to explain all this!"
Shen Min never expected this to happen. She was completely stunned, staring at the mess on the ground in a daze, with all kinds of feelings surging in her heart.
The next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. She covered her chest and gasped for breath. Her face turned pale. Li Ling looked at her with a sneer, "Pretend! Shen Min, keep pretending! Now that Xia Guopeng is not here, who are you pretending for!"
"Li Lingyi, have you said enough?!" Xia Xingchen shouted angrily and immediately pressed the bell, "Doctor! Please ask Doctor Jing to come over immediately!"
After she finished speaking, the nurse pushed the door open and hurried in. Shen Min fainted.
Xia Xingchen stood up and glared at Li Lingyi, who seemed to be gloating over his misfortune. "Are you going or not?"
"I really want to see if Shen Min will die like this! It looks like she is very ill, right?"
Xia Xingchen took a deep breath and said nothing. He looked at Li Lingyi coldly, grabbed his cell phone from the bedside, and dialed a number directly.
Li Ling had a bad feeling and glared at her, "What are you doing? Who are you calling?"
"Hey! Dad." As soon as Xia Xingchen opened his mouth, Li Lingyi's face changed. But Xia Xingchen didn't intend to end it, and just continued: "Five years ago, Li Lingyi sold me for 10 million while you were away, you still don't know? Later, the reason why I gave birth to Dabai was all thanks to her!"
"Xia Xingchen, what nonsense are you talking about!" Li Ling screamed.
"She used the 10 million to pay off her gambling debts. Dad, shouldn't you reflect on why your life has become like this? For this woman, you not only ruined your peaceful life in the past, but also almost ruined your daughter, me. Is it really worth it to make your life so chaotic now?"
"Shut up!" Li Lingyi panicked and reached out to grab Xia Xingchen's phone. But it was too late. Xia Xingchen said it in one breath and hung up the phone.
