Fortunately, Han Yu and Tang Si learned about the events between Qing Muy野 and Meng Jingwei from Song Ci. Although they only found out before arriving, they managed to avoid trouble. Otherwise, they might have been the ones ending up in the hospital later.
Seeing how badly Lu Yanming had been beaten, Tang Si couldn't help but touch his own handsome face and gasp, "Second Brother's blows are quite fierce."
"Should I call Second Brother down for you, and you can have a go?" Han Yu asked.
"Heh heh heh, I'd rather not, rather not," Tang Si immediately backed down. He couldn't help but sigh, "It seems Second Brother truly loves that little firecracker, otherwise how could he endure her slap? I've known Second Brother for so many years, and no one has ever dared to cross him."
"Such deep affection," Han Yu couldn't help but praise, then his smile gradually faded. "Romantic love, for Second Brother, is a burden."
...
Private Hospital.
In the morning, Li Yun'er, wearing a mask and sunglasses, left home and cautiously went to the private hospital to visit Madam Qing. Due to the events at the wedding yesterday, many reporters were now watching her, so Li Yun'er acted very discreetly. It was only after entering the private hospital and seeing the layers of bodyguards guarding the outside, with no suspicious individuals or reporters at the entrance, that Li Yun'er's anxious heart finally settled. She knew that Qing Muy野 must have 'warned' the newspapers; otherwise, such big news would have been widely publicized, and reporters would not miss the opportunity to interview Madam Qing during her hospitalization.
Li Yun'er inquired about Madam Qing's room and found her on the 22nd floor of the inpatient building. Outside the VIP ward, Li Yun'er, carrying nutritional supplements and flowers, knocked on the door and pushed it open.
"Grandmother?"
The events at the wedding yesterday had happened so suddenly that Madam Qing had not anticipated them. Overwhelmed by the shock, she had fainted. After a night of rest in the hospital, her condition had improved considerably. Upon seeing Li Yun'er, her most pressing concern was, "How is your unborn child?"
Li Yun'er was slightly taken aback. Although she knew Madam Qing only cared about her unborn child, being asked so directly made her feel quite disheartened.
"Grandmother, I... my child is fine."
When it came to her child, Li Yun'er felt both anger and resentment, and an overwhelming sense of shame. Precisely because of the importance of the child in her womb, she had endured the humiliation from those people to prevent them from harming her baby. Six people, a full six people. Thirty minutes of relentless assault from each person made her feel despair for the first time. But that didn't matter; she considered it being bitten by dogs, what difference did it make? She had thought that by enduring the shame and saving the child, she could continue to be with Qing Muy野. Of course, during this time, Li Yun'er had also hired people to investigate those individuals, but there were no leads. She dared not make a move against Meng Jingwei, fearing that compromising video would be exposed. As it turned out... what she feared, came to pass.
Li Yun'er put down her things and sat by the hospital bed, tears streaming down her face. "Grandmother, I didn't expect it either, I didn't expect she could hate me so much, sob..."
"I know you've been wronged, don't worry, as long as the child is still there, Grandmother will definitely see justice done for you." Madam Qing, wearing her hospital gown, leaned against the headboard and held Li Yun'er's hand, comforting her. The wedding decorations were arranged by Meng Jingwei, and the playback of that video was too coincidental. Whether it was Meng Jingwei's doing was not yet known. Although Madam Qing suffered from Alzheimer's, her symptoms were mild, and her mental state was generally good.
"Grandmother, Muy野 Ge... he's not going to marry me anymore?" Li Yun'er bit her lip, crying like a drenched flower.
"Give him some time, and give this old woman some time. Don't worry, I will never let your unborn child be without a mother from birth." This statement, while sounding like comfort to Li Yun'er, made her perceive another meaning. That is, if Qing Muy野 did not marry her, the child would inevitably be taken away by the Qing family. Even though the child was not Qing Muy野's, and she had never had any sexual relations with Qing Muy野, hearing Madam Qing's words at this moment still sent a chill through her.
"Thank you, Grandmother... you are so kind." A perfunctory response.
After chatting with Madam Qing in the ward for a while, Li Yun'er left. As she walked out of the ward, she happened to encounter Qing Si Huai. "Seventh Uncle, you're here." Li Yun'er had seen Qing Si Huai before and was not unfamiliar with him. Such a man with a short beard, often with a smile on his face, exceptionally steady yet approachable, possessed an innate charisma that could easily captivate someone. Qing Si Huai, dressed in a suit, exuded the aura of a business tycoon, with a touch of scholarly refinement.
"Why are you crying?" He tilted his head, looking at Li Yun'er's swollen eyes and the tear tracks that had not yet dried on her cheeks. He then took a handkerchief from his suit pocket and handed it directly to her. "Our Yun'er is as beautiful as the moon and as graceful as flowers; Muy野 is somewhat lacking in cherishing a delicate beauty."
Li Yun'er was slightly surprised by the handkerchief that the very gentlemanly Qing Si Huai proactively offered her to wipe her tears. She had met him several times, but they weren't very familiar. His actions today made Li Yun'er sense something rather odd.
"Thank you, thank you, Seventh Uncle." Li Yun'er took the handkerchief from him, wiped her tears, and choked out, "Uncle Si Huai, you've seen my embarrassing state."
"Not at all, we are all family." Qing Si Huai reached out and patted Li Yun'er's shoulder. "It's not good for a girl to cry like this. Muy野 is a responsible person; he won't shirk his responsibility."
"Mm-hmm, I also believe in Muy野 Ge." Li Yun'er's beautiful eyes welled up with tears, looking pitifully charming. "Then I'll be going now."
"Go ahead."
"Goodbye, Seventh Uncle." Li Yun'er left. Qing Si Huai turned, his slightly narrowed eyes watching Li Yun'er as she walked away, a smile playing on his lips, a smile that was not quite a smile. He then turned back to the ward and saw Madam Qing. "Mother, are you feeling better?"
"An old bone, nothing serious." Madam Qing sat propped up against the headboard and sighed wistfully. "Si Huai, that brat Muy野 is too tight-lipped. I still feel that what happened at the wedding yesterday wasn't enough to call off the engagement. Go and find out for me what exactly is going on."
"Mother is wise. However, should we question Meng Jingwei?" Qing Si Huai asked tentatively.
Madam Qing was silent for a moment, then frowned and thought carefully. "Be careful in your actions, and try not to let Muy野 know." Although she trusted Meng Jingwei, she was old, and it was inevitable that she might misjudge someone. Caution ensures a safe voyage of ten thousand miles. Until the matter is investigated, everyone is a suspect. Moreover, every incident at the wedding was directly related to Meng Jingwei, making it imperative to investigate!
"Alright, I'll get on it immediately." Qing Si Huai agreed, exchanged a few pleasantries with Madam Qing in the ward, and then left.
