Han Wenjuan was completely unable to cry, her whole body felt weak, and she was short of breath.
Wang Juxiang, being older, was much calmer. "I'll go find Lin Feng and De Cai to discuss this."
With such a major incident, they would definitely have to rush over.
Wang Juxiang first went upstairs to find Xia Lin Feng.
Xia Lin Feng had locked himself in his room, frantically searching for news about Xia Wan Tang online.
When his door was knocked, he impatiently shouted, "What is it?"
"Lin Feng, something has happened. Wan Fu was in a car accident..."
Hearing the anxious voice at the door, Xia Lin Feng's expression froze for a moment.
He indifferently glanced at the closed door and said heartlessly, "I don't have money. What use is it to ask me if she's in a car accident?"
Wang Juxiang did not expect her son to say such a thing. Her heart sank like a stone, chilling her from head to toe.
This was the good son she had raised, who could treat his own daughter like this. How could she, an old mother, expect him to support her in her old age?
She wiped away her tears and turned to leave, her heart aching unbearably.
No wonder Wan Fu was so angry and disappointed, unwilling to stay at home even for a night.
Before she had taken two steps, the door behind her opened again. She instinctively turned back.
She saw Xia Lin Feng standing at the door, frowning as he asked, "What happened? Did she hit someone, or did someone hit her?"
If someone had hit her, there would be a large compensation.
Wang Juxiang wiped away her tears, thinking her son was concerned about his granddaughter, and felt a little better.
"I don't know the specific situation yet. Wan Fu is still in the hospital for emergency treatment! You and your wife should go and see her!"
She thought that Han Wenjuan could take care of Xia Wan Fu, and Xia Lin Feng could busy himself with the procedures. She wouldn't understand anything and could only cause trouble.
Hearing this, Xia Lin Feng lost his patience.
"You and Wen Juan go," he said, turning back into his room.
Wang Juxiang sighed in frustration, lamenting what kind of person she had given birth to!
She hurried downstairs. Han Wenjuan had already packed her things and was waiting by the door with her bag.
Seeing Xia Lin Feng hadn't come down, Han Wenjuan asked, "Where's Lin Feng?"
Wang Juxiang dared not meet her gaze and vaguely replied, "He, he's not going..."
"Not going?"
Han Wenjuan almost choked.
She had initially thought he was just greedy for wealth and a bit cold-hearted, but she never expected him to be so indifferent even when human lives were at stake. This was beyond humanity.
Such a husband made her feel a chill all over her body.
She took a deep breath, suppressing her disappointment, fear, and various complex emotions.
"Mom, how much money do you have left? Consider it a loan from you."
"What are you talking about? We're family." Wang Juxiang sighed, "I only have less than thirty thousand yuan in total..."
Han Wenjuan knitted her brows, not quite believing her. She had given them a lot of money over the years, so how could they only have so little left?
Wang Juxiang seemed to know she didn't believe her and could only lower her head and explain, "The money... the money was all spent on Yi Chen."
She regretted it now. She had been bewitched at the time, and he had slowly coaxed all her money away.
"Mom, you..."
Han Wenjuan couldn't understand. She was usually quite shrewd, so how could she be so muddled?
At the same time, she was very disappointed in Xia Yi Chen, finding him utterly useless and a failure.
She suppressed her anger and turned to leave.
Her daughter was still waiting for her in the hospital, alone and pitiful. Thinking of this, her heart ached intensely.
"Wait, Wen Juan, I'll go with you." Since her son wouldn't go, she, the mother, had to.
There were many tedious matters at the hospital, and Han Wenjuan couldn't manage it all alone.
Han Wenjuan understood this. Having one more person to help would make things easier for her.
Wang Juxiang packed her things while asking Han Wenjuan to go find Xia De Cai.
After a flurry of activity, the two then took a bus to the city, and then transferred to reach the capital.
...
The Capital.
People's Hospital.
Outside the ICU, Jiang Ze Xi stared at the person on the hospital bed through the glass, his eyes filled with affection and deep heartache.
He didn't know how long he had been standing there. His legs were numb and without feeling. He didn't feel tired; he just wanted to wait for the person on the bed to wake up.
In the few dozen minutes he had been unconscious, it felt like centuries had passed.
He was very afraid, afraid that Xia Wan Fu would eventually leave him.
Ling Yu Chen and Li Bo Wen stood by quietly, guarding him.
Xia Wan Fu, lying on the hospital bed, was covered in tubes. Her head was bandaged like a rice dumpling, and bright red blood was faintly visible.
She was still in a deep coma and had not yet passed the critical period.
Zhou Yu Qing walked over with a food container, looking at her haggard son with great concern.
"Mom had someone make chicken soup. Have some."
Jiang Ze Xi's eyes were fixed on the person in the ward, ignoring her words.
"Aunt Zhou, give it to me!" Ling Yu Chen took the food container and whispered to Jiang Ze Xi, "I have something to tell you. It's about the Xia family."
Jiang Ze Xi's expression finally changed. He turned to look at him, his eyes questioning.
Ling Yu Chen didn't say much and turned to leave.
He had no choice but to follow.
The two entered the stairwell.
Ling Yu Chen handed him the food container, urging him to eat.
Jiang Ze Xi could only take it but had no intention of eating, as he had no appetite.
Ling Yu Chen said calmly, "Eat, and I'll talk to you after you've eaten."
Jiang Ze Xi couldn't help but comply. He opened the container and forced food into his mouth without tasting it.
Knowing Ling Yu Chen's temperament, if he didn't eat, Ling Yu Chen wouldn't tell him. But since it concerned the Xia family, he had to listen.
Ling Yu Chen then said, "Xia Lin Feng and his wife have been released from prison. Xia Wan Fu's return this time was to send them back to their hometown..."
Jiang Ze Xi really didn't know about this matter. Xia Wan Fu hadn't told him about their release.
Then, Ling Yu Chen told him the content of Xia Wan Fu's phone call with Gong Zhi Jing.
The intention was to make Jiang Ze Xi more vigilant and guard against the Xia family, especially Xia Lin Feng.
After listening to Ling Yu Chen's account, Jiang Ze Xi almost threw the food container in his hand.
He had never heard of or seen such a father.
It was understandable with Xia Wan Tang, who wasn't his biological daughter, but how could he say those words about his own biological daughter?
Ling Yu Chen was telling him this much out of consideration for his brother.
Since he had chosen Xia Wan Fu, and Xia Wan Fu had mended her ways, he hoped they could have a good life together.
Besides, he was also worried about another scenario.
He feared that if the Xia Lin Feng couple couldn't get any benefits from him, they might then target Xia Wan Fu.
If something happened to Xia Wan Fu, Jiang Ze Xi might not be able to bear it this time.
It would be easy for him to handle, but Xia Wan Fu would be more troublesome, after all, she was Xia Lin Feng's biological daughter.
