Xia Xingchen also felt severe pain in his chest. He stood at the window, looked out, and let out a deep breath, but the feeling in his chest still did not go away.
She suddenly felt that she and Bai Yeqing should be thankful for what happened.
Being in love is a blessing.
Being able to love each other and stay together is the greatest blessing.
She took out a handkerchief from her bag, walked slowly towards Weiyang, and helped her wipe her tears. At this moment, a doctor came over, "Ms. Chi?"
"Yes, I am."
"Doctor Fu told me to arrange surgery for you right now. Is it convenient for you now?"
Chi Weiyang pressed her hands on her knees, tightened them, and clenched her pants. After a long while, she nodded gently, "It's convenient, very convenient."
Xia Xingchen took a step forward and wanted to say something, but when her lips moved, her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't utter a word.
then…
She could only watch Chi Weiyang walk towards the operating room step by step.
She used to be optimistic and cheerful, but now she was desolate and lonely, and every step she took seemed to be floating in the air.
… … … …
afternoon.
Xia Xingchen accompanied Chi Weiyang back home. She curled up on the small bed, pulled up the quilt, and didn't say a word. Only her breathing became heavier and heavier.
Xia Xingchen poured a cup of hot tea and gently placed it on her bedside. Without disturbing her, she closed the door and went out.
I was worried, so I didn't go anywhere. I just sat on the sofa and watched TV aimlessly. At this moment, the phone in my bag suddenly rang.
She took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Without thinking too much, she took the phone and put it to her ear.
"Hello, is this Miss Xia Xingchen?" There was an unfamiliar male voice on the other end of the phone.
"yes."
"This is the North City Branch. Are you free now? Please come over again."
"Is it because of Xia Xingkong's case?"
"That's right. But besides Xia Xingkong, your stepmother is suspected of gambling and fraud, and we need other witnesses. Please come over immediately."
Xia Xingchen couldn't refuse, so she put away her phone and threw it into her bag. After thinking about it, she decided to go out with her bag.
It's incredibly cold outside, and today, it seems even colder than usual.
On the street, the trees are withered and look a bit sad.
In the middle of the call, Xia Guopeng called. Xia Xingchen guessed that he was probably asking for mercy for the mother and daughter. She didn't answer the first call, because some people should be punished.
However, the phone kept ringing, so she had no choice but to put the Bluetooth headset on her ears.
"You haven't answered my call. Do you think I'm here to beg for mercy?" As soon as the call was connected, Xia Guopeng's voice came from the other end.
Xia Xingchen didn't say anything and didn't comment on the answer.
"Li Lingyi did something wrong back then and put you in such a predicament. Now she has repeated her old tricks and deceived Madam Bai. She deserves this outcome. I have nothing to say if she is punished. As for Xingkong..." Xia Guopeng sighed, "I didn't expect that she would be so stupid as to do such a stupid thing... However, this is her own fault. Even if Dad can't bear it, he can't come to ask you to forgive her."
"There is no question of whether I forgive or not. Even if I really forgive her, this matter will not be over. She still has to bear the consequences."
Xia Guopeng did not say anything else, but sighed desolately. Today, he ended up alone, and his wife and children were facing imprisonment, which made him feel heavy in his heart.
Xia Xingchen could understand, but didn't have many words to comfort her, and the two of them remained silent on the phone for a few seconds.
Finally, Xia Guopeng found his voice first and said, "Xingchen, someone came to your house yesterday and took away your household registration booklet. Could it be that you... are getting married?"
"Yeah. I'm going to register tomorrow."
"And him?" Although Xia Guopeng did not say who the 'he' was, both of them knew that it was Bai Yeqing.
She said "hmm". Xia Guopeng nodded, "Okay, very good..."
He muttered once and then nothing more happened.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Xingchen felt sad. When the red light flashed and then turned green, she regained her spirits and drove to the North City Branch.
… … … …
Li Lingyi's case is still pending trial, but he is bound to spend eight years in prison.
As for Xia Xingkong, she was originally charged with intentional injury, but she did it outside the office, so the charge was aggravated. Moreover, the office personally sent the video footage - in the past, the office would never make any surveillance footage public - and for a moment, the entire bureau was flattered. This was clearly to confirm Xia Xingkong's guilt.
Xia Xingchen had just finished her work and was about to leave the police station when she unexpectedly saw someone coming towards her, causing her to stop in surprise.
"Old lady."
She hurriedly greeted them. Today was really unusual, meeting both the old man and the old lady. I can only say that I have a special connection with the Bai family.
The old lady was wearing an elegant dress, with her hair tied up and a bag in her hand. As always, Aunt Lin and the driver followed behind her.
Seeing her, the old lady was also surprised, "Aren't you going to work today? Why are you here?"
"I had something to do today, so I asked for leave. The police called to find out about Li Lingyi and Xia Xingkong, so I came here. Are you..."
"Of course I'm here for your stepmother." When the old lady mentioned Li Lingyi, she was still furious. Although the money was recovered, it was not a good thing to fool yourself.
"Do you mean leaving?" the old lady asked again.
"Um."
The old lady stepped forward and pulled her hand. "You've already asked for leave, so don't leave in a hurry. Just sit outside and wait for me. I'll be out soon, and we'll go out for a walk later."
"Ah?" Xia Xingchen was stunned by the old lady's enthusiastic invitation.
"What? It's getting cold now, and I need to buy some cotton-padded clothes for my precious grandson. You just wait here and don't go anywhere." The old lady glanced at Aunt Lin, "Help me watch her!"
After saying that, regardless of whether she was willing or not, he turned around and followed a policeman into another room.
Xia Xingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that Bai Yeqing's domineering personality was not only inherited from the old man, but also from the old lady.
Aunt Lin smiled and said, "Miss Xia, don't mind it. Old Madam, she really likes you and that's why she kept you."
Xia Xingchen nodded and waited in silence. Fortunately, compared to the old man, the old lady was much easier to get along with.
… … … … …
As a result of interrogation by Li Lingyi, the old lady learned something. That's when she realized that the 10 million yuan originally given to Xia Xingchen had gone into the pocket of Li Lingyi. Moreover, Xia Xingchen was not willing to do so, she was completely deceived.
