Li Lian hasn’t process what was transpiring across her eyes now. But one thing she knows for sure was she didn’t do anything worth for Mrs. Xie to accuse her. On a second note, it wasn’t only Mrs. Xie who had accused her of false charge but Mr. Xie who ca beside her wife, gazing at her with daggers.
"You are an unfilial child and granddaughter! How could you do this to your own grandmother. Look at what you have done to the person who had cared you the most!" yelled the man, his voice was as hateful as Li Lian rembered to be whenever he shouted at her.
"I don’t understand what you both are saying. To accuse as soon as I ca, and shouting words I don’t deserve of, you two have poor manners. Thank God I wasn’t raised by you two or else I would have turn rotten like most people in this family," Li Lian released Mrs. Xie’s hand. Standing before her birth mother, Li Lian was taller and she looked down at the woman who watched her with the most hateful gaze.
"Poor manners?" Mrs. Xie returned her words sharply. "It was our mistake to ever bring you back to our family. You finally show your true colors of being brought up by the mafia. Was it not enough when you tried to harm your sister, that you have to harm your grandmother? You truly have no human heart to guilty conscious!"
When Mr. Xie took another step closer, Violet’s hand ca before the man, stopping him from gaining anymore distance between him and Li Lian.
Harm? Do they an that whatever that happened to her grandmother was her fault? Keeping her cool from wasting her voice and emotions by shouting to the two people who had done nothing more than condescending her, she asked the parents who cursed at her. "What do you an by harming? I was not there with grandma, what happened to her?"
"You still dare to ask?!" was the shout coming loudly from Mr. Xie. "Don’t act naive all of a sudden now. We all have known what you did already. Today mother fell frown the stairs after receiving a letter you sent."
Letter?
"It’s this letter!" Mrs. Xie shoved a crumpled letter toward Li Lian’s face.
Taking the letter, Li Lian frowned, it was her own writing, her na, but inside was vile words of her requesting for her grandmother to handover the position of the director to her. Li Lian couldn’t care much about the letter that was full of false accusation. Sure enough that was her writing, and as the person with the handwrite, she knew it far better than anyone in this room that it was her handwriting, but she had never wrote such letter.
"Move," Li Lian didn’t have ti to waste with her parents who for sure believed the letter more than her words. Mr. and Mrs. Xie tried to stop her from getting inside, but with the help of Violet, Li Lian went inside the room easily.
Closing the door, Li Lian went toward her grandmother’s side. Her complexion was pale, and although she didn’t look much thinner than before, Li Lian felt that her figure had beco smaller than what she rembered as she slept on the bed.
Worries ca over Li Lian, she pulled the chair and at the sa ti, the door opened, but this ti it wasn’t her parents but a doctor.
Li Lian imdiately pushed herself from the chair, "Doctor, is my grandmother, alright?" rather than asking her parents it was much progressive if she asked the doctor.
"Are you her relatives?" The doctor on the way saw so people gathered outside who appeared to be in a hustle, he had told the nurse to take care of it. When Li Lian nodded, the doctor ca to her grandmother’s side with a soft sigh, "Currently we can’t say for sure. Madam Xie fell quite badly from the staircase, and there was a shock on her head, there was bleeding in her head that we have took care for now, but it would be best if we took so more day to keep an eye on her condition. We will be performing a CT scan later this evening."
"Do you might know why my grandmother fell?" Li Lian wouldn’t believe the cause for her grandmother to fall was her. The letter was clearly forged by soone as rather than sending a letter, Li Lian would have directly called her grandmother.
The doctor looked at Li Lian, a small smile on his lips, "Unfortunately, I am not a detective, lady. There is only to a few thing that I know which is your grandmother fell from the staircase, either from carelessness, accident, or..." the doctor hung his words, only realizing how intrusive it was for him if she had said filled last word.
"Or if soone had deliberately pushed her from the staircase," Li Lian continued the doctor’s words, and the man nodded very slowly. It doesn’t take one to be a genius to know who might have pushed her grandmother. It was the woman who was sobbing on the far corner of the room, Xie Hue Lin!
Li Lian’s hand clenched tight, anger boiled her mind. Was it not enough for Xie Hue Lin to try and kill her that she know tried to kill her mother? No, thought Li Lian. At this point for a person who would resort every ans in order to achieve their goal, there would be nothing Xie Hue Lin wouldn’t do. She had attempted to kill her and kill her mother, why wouldn’t she kill Madam Xie?
At any point, this place was dangerous. The Xie Family had proved Li Lian that there was no one here who she could trust her grandmother with.
Li Lian took her phone, making call to Li Jun Wei, oddly enough the phone was not answered even though Li Jun Wei would answer to call her in less than a minute. She tried to call again for a few tis to no reply.
Worried, Li Lian first called Li Xiao Chen who took care of most things after Li Jun Wei. Li Xiao Chen had just stepped out from the entertainnt company when he received the call from Li Lian. "Hello, sister?"
"Xiao Chen, can I ask you to handle so things?" Li Lian asked directly, she doesn’t have much ti.
"Of course!" was Li Xiao Chen’s quick reply, "What is it?"
"My grandmother fell from the stairs, I cannot leave her under Xie Family’s protection," she had said only little words but Li Xiao Chen imdiately understood what she ant. "We are in Solomon’s hospital, room number 302. The patient na is Xie Honglao. You can use my na, although my family na have changed, I heard my grandmother didn’t want to erase my na from Xie Family which also still makes her family."
"Okay, I will take care of that right away," Li Xiao Chen said in a steadfast reply which Li Lian was thankful of. Other than Li Jun Wei there was Li Xiao Chen who she could trust in with her matter.
Before they ended the call, Li Lian asked, "Are you with Jun Wei? I cannot reach him through call."
"You can’t? How weird, I rember brother should finish all his work now. Yesterday I asked him and he told this," Li Xiao Chen found this as strange as Li Lian did. It was because no matter how busy his brother was, he would never leave Li Lian’s call without a reply.
Li Lian felt sothing amiss. Their situation was dangerous, and as if it couldn’t be worse, Aksaka Haruhi is currently in China. "Do you know where he might be?"
"I will call you again once I find him," answered Li Xiao Chen.
Li Lian didn’t stand idle either. She went out from the room along with the doctor who then left the place. Without sparing a glance to her parents, she made her way to Xie Hue Lin. With her eyes cold, she whispered, "I won’t forgive you for this."
Pulling away, Li Lian then turn and left the place with Violet, leaving so of her bodyguards to stay with her grandmother’s side so no one would try anything funny.
anwhile, far from the hospital, Li Jun Wei opened his eyes drowsily, finding his body lying on a soft bed. At first he cannot see anything even though he had opened his eyes, as if a blur shield covered his eyes. He rubbed his eyes, finally after a while he saw Li Lian’s face gradually becoming clearer in front of his eyes.
"Li Lian?" he whispered her na in the most gentle tone he ever used, before he could question more, he felt her hand travel from his neck to his chest, the movent was slow but stirring as she had motioned her hands in a seductive action.
