Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mu Chenyan was not aware of the major changes in City C. After Yuan Xuan ca back, he only said that soone had committed the cri for their wealth.
Regarding this statent, Yuan Xuan was actually not convinced of it as well. However, Xia Tao had died, and in order to protect his colleague’s reputation, Bureau Chief Liu had covered up for Xia Tao and reported to Yuan Xuan that the act was due to greed for money.
One could not beat soone on their own turf.
If Yuan Xuan were to utilize his connections within the boundary of City C, Bureau Chief Liu was the obstacle. After so thoughts, he decided to head back to Luo Hai before making any moves.
Anyway, that Brother Sheng need not think of coming out of prison in his lifeti!
Mu Chenyan and Su Qingcheng were escorted back to Luo Hai and were reported sick so that they were on leave and had to stay at ho.
As for the article for the operation this ti, Mu Chenyan had passed it to Zhang Xin earlier on. Hence, during this break, she was totally good-for-nothing.
However, the information she had gotten in City C kept weighing on her mind. Mu Chenyan thought that since she was confined at ho by Yuan Xuan, so long as that man did not cool down, there was no way she could go out.
She needed an opportunity to go to the hospital to see whether she could obtain any useful information from Zhao Yanni.
However, how could she avoid arousing Yuan Xuan’s suspicion?
Mu Chenyan ca up with an idea. Of course, she would go in the na of visiting Yan i!
Zhao Yanni’s later stage of treatnt was done at Sheng Yu Hospital, and it so happened that Yan i was also staying there.
...
Mu Chenyan arrived at Sheng Yu Hospital and went to see her mother first.
Although every ti she ca, her mother remained the sa and was just lying peacefully there with her fair skin reflecting the weakness of having laid on the bed for a long ti, and that she was unaware of the outside world and did not give any reaction; even though her mother was as such, her being alive itself gave Mu Chenyan lots of comfort and courage.
She cleaned Yan i’s body and retrieved the perfu from her bag to spray so of it on her mother. “Mother, this is the daisy perfu that you liked the most.”
Yan i used to be a graceful woman, and the reason Mu Chenyan did that was just to get so consolation.
Her brother was in exile, and his whereabouts were unknown. In Luo Hai, Yan i was Mu Chenyan’s only family.
Coming out of the ward, Mu Chenyan went to the nurses’ station and checked the ward number.
Yan i was on the seventh floor. Zhao Yanni and Yan i’s wards were two floors apart.
Mu Chenyan was not sure if the Yuan Family had stationed soone to stand guard, hence she pretended to lost her way while making it to the ninth floor.
Most of the patients had been discharged, but Zhao Yanni’s state was not that well, hence even after she was released from the hospital at the later period, she would still have to undergo the later stage of psychiatric rehabilitation.
On the day the Zong He case happened, she had consud tons of hallucinogens, which was why she ran to the mountain at the back in the middle of the night.
It had been a month since the incident, and Zhao Yanni was gradually regaining her consciousness. However, her body was still very weak. The Yuan Family did not mind the hospital cost, so while other people would go ho to recuperate, Zhao Yanni was still staying in the VIP ward.
There was not anyone sent by the Yuan Family to stand guard at the corridor, and this delighted Mu Chenyan.
The VIP wards were all single rooms and had 360 degrees of no dead angle closed-circuit monitoring. Mu Chenyan had decided that if Yuan Xuan asked her why did she co to see Zhao Yanni, she would be truthful and co clean.
From Mu Chenyan’s point of view, Yuan Xuan’s attitude was sowhat odd. He seed to have chosen to overlook her action of going to City C secretly. Since the days of their return, he had not questioned her at all.
Mu Chenyan pushed open the unlatched door and saw that poor woman on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze.
She looked vastly different from how she was during the Spring Festival a few months back as she seed to have aged by a decade.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, a trace of vitality flashed through the woman’s dim and lifeless eyes.
Seeing it was Mu Chenyan, Zhao Yanni was rather taken aback. Her pale lips quivered, and that phrase “Miss Mu” was stuck in her throat...
Mu Chenyan sensed that the current Zhao Yanni was not the sa person who had feigned madness during the Spring Festival, but because of the poisoning, her reaction was now indeed slower than ordinary people.
“Aunty Zhao!” Mu Chenyan called out in a crisp voice and placed the fruits she had brought on the bedside cabinet. She moved a chair and sat close to the bed. “I ca to visit my mother, so I dropped by to see you. Are you feeling any better?”
Mu Chenyan was sweet-looking, to begin with. Because of the beauty’s approachability, coupled with the fact that she truly sympathized with Zhao Yanni, the emotions expressed in her eyes were a genuine heartfelt concern.
Zhao Yanni had mixed feelings. It had been long since soone last ca to visit her. Every ti Zhao Ruoxin ca, she would only stand afar. When had she ever speak to her such gently and kindly?
“Miss Mu, I’m very happy that you ca to see ...”
After thinking for a long mont, only then did Zhao Yanni utter a sentence that reflected her feelings at this mont.
Mu Chenyan smiled and took out an apple from the fruits bag. The crispy and sweet red apple rotated in Mu Chenyan’s hand.
After peeling the skin, she gave it to Zhao Yanni and smilingly said, “Aunty, my mother has been in a coma for many years. Every ti I co to the hospital, I’ll be thinking of that day when she could eat the apple I’ve pared. I’d be thrilled to death then!”
Zhao Yanni trembled as she took the apple. The woman, who had not been treated kindly for years, was now revealing an exciting look.
Her forr husband had left her, her second had abused her, while her daughter had used her...
It seed that from the age of 30, the pleasure she had gotten behind Shu Heng’s back was the beginning of the suffering of her life!
Thinking back to the sharp reversal of her life and the fall from a great height, the woman who had suffered half her lifeti now received love and care from soone at this ti, all her psychological defenses collapsed completely, and she burst into tears...
Mu Chenyan did not console her but handed her tissues.
The woman took one tissue after another as her tears flowed wantonly.
After a long ti, only then did Zhao Yanni cald down, her eyes were swollen from the crying.
Mu Chenyan said softly, “Aunty Zhao, when we’re feeling unhappy, we feel better after we’ve let it out, right?”
Zhao Yanni nodded, and she replied with a hoarse voice, “Thank you, Miss Mu.”
Indeed, she had not felt this relieved for a long ti. If it was not for Mu Chenyan’s visitation, perhaps she would still be keeping all these pent-up grudges in her heart till death.
“Miss Mu, did you co to see because of so matters?”
Although Zhao Yanni was sluggish, after such a long ti of thinking, she had guessed that Mu Chenyan’s appearance was not a coincidence.
The corner of Mu Chenyan’s lips twitched as she smiled. She sat down and did not beat around the bush but went straight to the point. “Aunty Zhao, Shu Qinger’s still alive, am I right?”
Zhao Yanni trembled, and she looked at Mu Chenyan with an unconceivable gaze. The corner of her lips quivered lightly as she was at a loss for words.
After a while, her gaze drifted about as she mumbled, “I don’t know what are you talking about...”
Mu Chenyan could see that Zhao Yanni was having an intense inner struggle in her mind.
She was not anxious, and she smilingly said. “Although Qinger and Xiner are twins and their features are extrely similar, as their biological mother, you can clearly tell them apart, can’t you?”
As Mu Chenyan spoke, she was observing Zhao Yanni’s reaction. This woman dared not even look at Mu Chenyan. Under Mu Chenyan’s scrutinization, she beca increasingly flustered. Her hands clenched the corner of the blanket tightly, and she was engaged in an even more intense struggle within.
“Qinger did not grow up by your side. The sentints you have for her must not be as strong as what you feel for Xiner. Xiner was brought up by you, and I’m sure that you don’t wish for her to die tragically, right?
Mu Chenyan took out her trump card by playing the family card.
