In the ward, Chu Xia stood by her son's side. She held Jian Jian's little hand tightly, as if she was afraid that the child would disappear in front of her.
After the banquet, Qin Sheng and Gong Mochen also rushed over to see Jian Jian. Everyone in the room had solemn expressions on their faces. No one wanted anything to happen to this little boy.
Chu Xia looked up at Qin Sheng. "All of you can go back. I can stay here with Jian Jian. Everyone, go back and rest!"
She really had to do it herself. No matter how many people came, it was useless. It wouldn't change the result.
"Chu Xia, go back and rest. I'll stay here and guard Jian Jian. The doctor said that he will sleep tonight and will only wake up tomorrow," Qin Sheng said.
Chu Xia's haggard appearance made her worried. She thought that Jian Jian wouldn't wake up tonight anyway, so she might as well let Chu Xia rest. Jian Jian would wake up tomorrow.
"No, I want to guard him. I want him to see me first when he wakes up!" Chu Xia's tears rolled down. She brushed past the Grim Reaper again and again. She was afraid that Jian Jian would never wake up.
At that moment, every minute and every second, she wanted to guard Jian Jian and be with him!
Gong Mochen patted Qin Sheng's shoulder. "Let Chu Xia guard Jian Jian. She won't feel at ease if she goes back."
He frowned deeply. Fortunately, Jian Jian was saved. Otherwise...
His hands were clenched into fists. Nangong Mochen, his younger brother...
Qin Sheng nodded. "Alright, let's go back. I'll come and see you and Jian Jian tomorrow morning."
She followed Gong Mochen out of the ward and saw Sikong Jue standing outside the door. He was looking at Jian Jian and Chu Xia through the glass window on the door.
Her heart skipped a beat. Was this man going to stand in the corridor for the whole night?
She wanted to say something. She was about to tell Sikong Jue to go into the room, but Gong Mochen pulled her arm.
"Mind Your own business. Let's go home," said Gong Mochen.
Qin Sheng shook the man's hand unhappily. "What do you mean by mind your own business? Can't you see that the three of them are very hurt?"
"There's bound to be pain between them. They've been through so much, had so much happen between them. Let them make their own choices!" said Gong Mochen in a deep voice.
They couldn't influence this matter, couldn't provide a solution. Chu Xia, Sikong Jue and Ming Tai could only do it themselves.
Qin Sheng's eyes dimmed. She sighed softly. These two men were good men. She would feel pity for whoever was hurt. However, there was only one Chu Xia. This was a battle that could only be won by one person.
Gong Mochen brought the little woman to the car. His gaze focused on the absent-minded woman's face. His big hand pinched her chin. "If you have time to think about other people's matters, why don't you think about your own first?''
"My own matters?" Qin Sheng asked in return.
"If we had a child, would you choose to give birth to it regardless of everything?" Gong Mochen asked.
Qin Sheng's heart was stifled by the man's question. "There's no child. My period is here."
She couldn't answer this question at all. No matter what choice she made, it would still be painful for her!
Gong Mochen's brows furrowed. If she didn't say that she wanted it, did that mean that she didn't want it?
His heart ached. One day, when the two of them truly faced the enmity between their families, would she stay for him, or would she just turn around and leave?
There was complete silence. No one said a word, as if they were afraid that even the slightest sound would shatter the rare serenity between them.
***
Qin Zixian had long disappeared from the Qin family's villa. He Fen was packing her things in her daughter's room.
"Have you found your sister? Where was she thrown away?" she asked her son.
"I haven't found her. Who knows where she went? Maybe she went to look for that man who secretly met her!" Qin Zirui said.
"Why do you say that? She is your sister. I don't think Zixian would have secretly met a man. She must have been forced!" He Fen reprimanded her son.
"Forced? Ask her. Why would she not say the name of that man? I think it's a private meeting! After doing such a thing and being chased out of the Qin family by father, her shares have practically been given to Qin Sheng," Qin Zirui ridiculed.
"Don't you think she wants it? Don't you and Yun Bo still have 40% of the shares? We have to think of a way to get Qin Sheng's shares back!" He Fen said.
"How? I heard that during the banquet, Mochen forced father to sign the transfer of shares!" Qin Zirui said.
"You're really useless. Qin Sheng can not take away the Qin family's property! Otherwise, she will kick us all out. She still wants to stay here. We can't let her stay here. What if she wants to find out the cause of her father's death?" He Fen said.
Qin Sheng was no longer a little girl. She was afraid that Qin Sheng would find out the cause of her father's death!
"How can she find out the cause of Brother's death? The d*mned person died long ago. Besides, father always thought it was the Yun family!" Qin zirui sneered.
"I'm not afraid, but just in case! It's better to be careful!" He Fen said.
There was a knock at the door, and the maid walked in. "Sorry for the intrusion, Madam, but Miss Qin Sheng, Third Young Master, Duke Li Ang and a woman have arrived."
He Fen's eyes narrowed. "She brought so many people back? Come, let's go take a look."
She walked out of the door.
Qin Sheng followed Gong Mochen into the villa, and Li Ang was pushed in by Yin Yin.
She looked up and saw He Fen coming down from upstairs. "Grandma is still awake?"
"With so many people here, how can I sleep? Qin Sheng, what do you mean by bringing so many people back? Are you occupying the house?" He Fen asked bluntly.
Qin Sheng smirked. "There's no need to occupy the house. My uncle and I have always lived here. Duke Li Ang has always been our guest. As for his friend Yin Yin, Grandma should be able to accommodate one extra person, right?"
He Fen snorted coldly. "How can I refuse to accommodate her? Since she's the Grand Duke's maid, I'll reluctantly let her stay. Someone, arrange a maid's room for this Yin Yin!"
She had to make things difficult for Yin Yin. If not for this Yin Yin, her daughter would be fine. Moreover, she had to show her identity as the female lead of the family in front of Qin Sheng. Even if Qin Sheng came back, she would still be the mistress of this family!
Qin Sheng looked at Li Ang and didn't know what his opinion was. After all, Yin Yin had helped them to get a hold of Qin Zixian. Letting Yin Yin stay in the maid's room was really unfair to her!
Li Ang didn't have any objections. He knew that He Fen had a huge grudge against Yin Yin. Since Yin Yin had just arrived, it was better not to go against He Fen. So he agreed.
And so, it was arranged for Yin Yin to stay in the maid's room. Yin Yin was so angry that she clenched her fists. He actually let her stay in the maid's room!
Gong Mochen held Qin Sheng's hand, walked into his room and slammed the door shut in front of Li Ang.
Li Ang was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. Gong Mochen was too arrogant. Was he trying to purposefully anger him?
