However, Lu Yaqin and her son did not realize that their conversation was overheard by someone wearing a black skirt. After the mother and son had gone far, Li Xitong looked in the direction where the mother and son had gone in. She happened to see Shen Junyu coming out and walking towards this side. Li Xitong quickly looked around and ducked into a nearby ward.
She waited until Shen Junyu had gone far before she came out of the ward. Thinking of Shen Junyu’s appearance and the conversation she just heard, Li Xitong had a vague suspicion in her heart.
She took out her sunglasses from her bag and put them on, covering most of her face, and walked towards the nurse’s station, “Hello, I am here to see Shen Yuanyi. Which ward does Mr. Shen live in?” Shen Yuanyi was the name of Mr. Shen.
The nurse at the nursing station looked at her suspiciously, “Who are you?”
Li Xitong smiled slightly, “I am the granddaughter of Mr. Shen’s best friend. My grandfather heard that Mr. Shen was sick and asked me to come and see him.” She said as she raised the fruit basket in her hand so that the nurse at the nursing station could see it clearly. She came to the hospital to visit a friend today and bought a fruit basket at the entrance of the hospital. Unexpectedly, she could actually use it here. Li Xitong couldn’t help but sigh at her luck.
The nurse smiled and flipped through the records, “Mr. Shen lives in B102, but it’s not visiting hours now, so you can’t go in for the time being.”
“Can I ask what disease the old man has?” Li Xitong asked, “My grandpa just got the news that Mr. Shen is sick, but I don’t know what the disease is. And I came here in a hurry, so…”
The nurse smiled understandingly, “I’m sorry, lady, this is the patient’s privacy and we can’t disclose it. If you want to visit the old man, you can register here now, and you can go in when the visiting time comes.”
Li Xitong shook her head, “Thank you, I’ll come back later, and I’ll buy a bouquet of flowers by the way, otherwise coming with just a fruit basket is so rude.”
The nurse didn’t pay attention. Rich people had many rules and she understood this.
“Qinglan, you didn’t sleep last night. Please rest for a while. I’m here.” Wen Xiyao spoke warmly, and Shen Qinglan shook her head, “I’m not tired. Sister Xiyao, if you have anything to do, go to the company first. I can do it alone.”
“What can I do? The company won’t collapse even if I leave for a day. I’ll stay with you here.” Wen Xiyao smiled.
Shen Qinglan didn’t force her. She glanced at Shen Rang, who was sitting silently beside Mr. Shen’s bed. After thinking about it, she pulled Wen Xiyao and sat down on the sofa outside.
Shen Junyu had gone down to buy lunch. When he came up with lunch, Shen Junyu greeted Wen Xiyao and others to eat.
“Second uncle, let’s eat first.” Shen Junyu said, although he was very dissatisfied with the second uncle’s family for getting his grandfather hospitalized because of his anger, but this second uncle loved him very much when he was a child and treated him even better than Shen Qian, his biological father. Shen Junyu’s relationship with this second uncle was actually very close when he was a child.
Shen Rang shook his head, his eyes dark and blue, “I have no appetite, you can eat.” He couldn’t eat anything now.
Shen Junyu didn’t force it, and took out Shen Rang’s portion alone and put it aside and served the food for Shen Qinglan and Wen Xiyao to eat. Shen Qinglan didn’t have much appetite, so she reluctantly put down her chopsticks after taking two bites.
Shen Junyu looked at most of the food left in her bowl and frowned, “Lanlan, eat some more, you didn’t eat last night as well.”
Shen Qinglan shook her head, “I’m full.”
“Forget it, Qinglan can’t eat it. Don’t force her.” Wen Xiyao interrupted Shen Junyu. She understood Shen Qinglan’s mood at the moment. After all, she had experienced such a thing before.
In the afternoon, Shen Junyu was called away by a phone call. After Shen Qian came to visit the old man, he called Shen Rang away. He didn’t know what they talked about, but Shen Rang left after that. Shen Qian returned to the ward and wiped the old man’s body before leaving.
In the evening, Shen Junyu originally wanted to replace Shen Qinglan, but something happened and he couldn’t leave, so Wen Xiyao stayed with her.
“Sister Xiyao, please go back first. I can be here alone with Grandpa.” It was just one night, which was nothing to Shen Qinglan.
Wen Xiyao stayed until nine o’clock in the evening before leaving. The hospital allowed only to leave one family member to accompany the patient. Wen Xiyao could not resist Shen Qinglan’s stubbornness and had to leave.
Shen Qinglan stayed to take care of the old man. Around 9:30, she received a call from Fu Hengyi. She did not tell Fu Hengyi that Mr. Shen was hospitalized.
There had been a lot of things going on at home recently. First Chu Yunrong was hospitalized, then Mr. Fu was hospitalized, and now Mr. Shen was hospitalized again, and there was a lot of conflict with the hospital.
Although Mr. Shen was still in a coma, and even if a phone call could not disturb him, but Shen Qinglan still did not want to disturb the old man’s purity, so she walked out of the ward and signalled to the nurse at the nursing station.
Li Xitong left the nurse station, went to visit her friend first, and sat in the friend’s ward for a while before leaving the hospital. However, a few hours later she returned to the hospital, changed her clothes, and came wearing a wig, a hat, and a pair of big sunglasses.
She took the elevator to the floor where Mr. Shen’s ward was located. She stopped at the elevator door for a while, but did not see the nurse at the nurse station. Her eyes were happy, and she quickened her pace. She came to the door of Mr. Shen’s ward and took a look inside. There was no one beside Mr. Shen, so she boldly open the door.
There was no one inside, and Li Xitong couldn’t help but laugh.
Her high heels made a crisp sound when they stepped on the floor of the ward. Li Xitong stood in front of the hospital bed, looking at Mr. Shen’s unconscious state. She raised the corner of her mouth and took off the sunglasses from her face.
“I never thought you would also have such a day.” She said softly, and then sat down, “Now that I see you lying here, I actually feel happy. Grandpa, are you happy to see me?”
No one answered her, she didn’t need anyone’s answer anyway, so she just kept talking.
“Grandpa, I am very grateful that you adopted me and gave me a home where I could feel the warmth of home and not be bullied by others. I was so truly happy that I could become a member of this family. But I soon discovered that you don’t actually like me. You and grandma didn’t like me from the beginning. Although you acted very kindly, I just knew that the way you looked at me was not like looking at a granddaughter at all. You just treated me as an outsider. You kept saying that I am the daughter of the Shen family and your granddaughter, but I couldn’t even enter Shen Qinglan’s room.”
“I don’t know if you still remember, when I first came to your house, when I was young, one day I was curious and secretly entered Shen Qinglan’s room. Before that, I always thought that my room was very beautiful, but after looking at her room, I discovered that that was how the room of the granddaughter of the Shen family must look like. I liked that room very much, especially the doll on the table, but as soon as I touched the doll with my hand, you appeared, looked at me coldly, and told me not to enter that room in the future. It was not a place I should go, and that I can’t touch the things inside.”
“You must not know how sad I felt at that time. I knew whose room it was, and I also knew that the owner of the room was no longer there, but it was like an unowned room, but I didn’t even have the qualifications to go in and take a look. Grandma was nice to me on the surface, but this kind of kindness was more like a kindness to a junior rather than a love for a granddaughter. I often saw grandma go into that room, staying inside for most of the day. Do you know how jealous I was of Shen Qinglan, jealous that even if she is not at home, everyone in the family is thinking about her and has never forgotten her. Such jealousy once made me almost go crazy.”
“My time has been spent in this kind of jealousy. When I grew up and understood that Shen Qinglan would probably never come back, she came back. You treated her like a jewel and you made no secret of your love for her. But you never considered my feelings. Shen Qinglan came back, and without having to do anything, she easily got everything I dreamed of, that room, your love, and the man I love.”
Li Xitong’s eyes turned red. She clenched her hands into fists and said, “That’s the man I’ve loved for more than ten years, but she took him away so easily. I can tolerate your preference for her and your disregard for me, but I can’t tolerate her stealing my love. That is the only person I have ever loved in this life. It is the starlight that I can’t reach. I did so many bad things for him, but can you blame me? If she hadn’t taken away my most precious thing, I wouldn’t even think of doing what I did, even if I am jealous of her, I will not really do anything to her, but she should’ve never taken away Fu Hengyi.”
Li Xitong looked ferocious, with hatred in her eyes.
“Grandpa, others say that sincerity is exchanged for sincerity, but I have given you all my sincerity. Why couldn’t you love me as much as you love Shen Qinglan? Is it because I am not your granddaughter? Why can’t you be fair to me? Just a little? Even my mother, who has loved me for so many years, was the first to save Shen Qinglan when she was in danger. Those who say you are partial to me are all lying, everything is false, and the person you love most is always Shen Qinglan, and who am I? I’m just a substitute for her, Shen Qinglan.” Li Xitong’s tone was full of resentment, and her tears fell suddenly, dripping on the bed sheets.
“I just longed for that little bit of love, but you guys were stingy about giving it to me. Grandpa, do you know what kind of life I am living now? I am notorious because of Shen Qinglan, and I have almost become a rat crossing the street. And my biological parents are vampires. In their eyes, I am like a cash machine. And you pushed me to them, and even abandoned me when I needed your help the most, and let me fend for myself. I can only make a fuss with a playboy. All these are thanks to you. As long as you have a little bit of pity for me, I will not be in this situation today. In this case, why should I care about that bit of relationship.”
Li Xitong’s eyes showed cruelty, looking at the oxygen mask on Mr. Shen’s face, she stretched out her hand.
Her hand stayed in the air, trembling slightly, and there was a struggle in her eyes. She didn’t know what she thought of, but with a fierce look on her face, she reached out and quickly took off the oxygen mask from Mr. Shen’s face, and then ripped the IV needle off his hand. Li Xitong laughed crazily when she saw the blood dripping from the back of Mr. Shen’s hand.
“Li Xitong, you are looking for death.” An angry voice came from behind. Li Xitong turned around subconsciously. Before she could see the person clearly, she was kicked to the ground. The kick just hit her lower abdomen, which was not strong enough. She was kicked so hard that she fell to the ground. The pain was so severe that she didn’t even have the strength to cough.
