Chapter 643: Chapter 643: Accident
Tang Zhongwei looked into Yu Xia’s eyes and felt her blood run cold, "I don’t understand what you mean." Tang Zhongwei said dryly.
"Forgotten? Are you sure you can’t remember anything? Can’t you recall what you’ve done since you came to this house? Now that things have come to this, will you voluntarily confess, or shall I remind you?" Yu Xia spoke for so long, she felt a bit tired, and her eyes didn’t stay as wide open as before, but her words caught others’ attention, so no one noticed her fatigue, though Yu Xia didn’t mind.
"Xiaxia, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean by saying this?"
Lin Mengyao’s voice sounded simultaneously with Tang Zhongwei’s.
"Don’t remember? Fine, since you don’t remember, I’ll help you recall. You’re not really jealous of me, you just find me annoying, think I’m always ruining your good deeds, just being a nuisance. When you first came to the Xu Family, you wanted to ruin the relationship between my sister and brother-in-law, you wanted to climb higher, but I saw through it, more than once." Yu Xia smiled at Tang Zhongwei, shaking a finger as she spoke.
Xu Ke held Lin Mengyao, clearly feeling her body stiffen, Xu Ke gently patted Lin Mengyao’s back to comfort her. Lin Mengyao’s rigid muscles gradually relaxed, but she began to tremble lightly.
"What nonsense are you spouting, I did not, don’t try to pin this on me. Although I’ve hurt you, how could I possibly hurt my cousin, we are related by blood, I wouldn’t hurt anyone except her. Stop trying to drive a wedge between us, stop spewing venom." Tang Zhongwei shouted emotionally.
She indeed had a reason to be emotional, because the fundamental reason she could stay with the Xu Family was Lin Mengyao. If Lin Mengyao really got tired of her and sent her back to the Tang Family, it would truly be over for her, she’d have no hope in this lifetime.
Compared to Tang Zhongwei’s agitation, Yu Xia appeared much calmer. She patiently waited for Tang Zhongwei to finish shouting, taking this opportunity to lightly gasp for breath and rest a bit.
"Alright, if you don’t want to admit it, I won’t force you, because indeed I don’t have evidence about this matter, but you and I both know it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to confess, after all, I still have other things to say, you can’t possibly deny them all, right?" Yu Xia showed a somewhat fragile smile.
"Let’s speak about recent events, we were kidnapped, remember what you told those kidnappers? You said you would help them catch me, you even said you wanted me to die outside. That wasn’t the first time you wished harm for me, but it was the first time you said it, wasn’t it?" Yu Xia quietly dropped a bomb in the room, almost making Lin Mengyao forget to breathe.
"Xiaxia, is what you’re saying true?" Lin Mengyao heard her own calm voice asking Tang Zhongwei.
She no longer knew how to describe her feelings, like a roller coaster ride with ups and downs, crashing into a place beyond repair, even thinking of giving up completely, wanting to see just how poorly constructed the place was where the roller coaster malfunctioned.
"It’s not true, I never said that, I don’t know why those kidnappers said so, I don’t know who instructed them, I genuinely never said those things, I swear, if I said it, let me die horribly." Tang Zhongwei raised her hand excitedly to swear but pulled at her wound due to her excessive movement, yet Tang Zhongwei could no longer care.
Compared to Tang Zhongwei’s panic, Yu Xia remained much calmer.
"No need to swear so hastily, whether you said those things or not, I’ll find out." Xu Ke said coldly.
"What do you mean by that?" Tang Zhongwei froze for a moment, her brain felt like it was hit by a virus, clearly understanding each word Xu Ke said, but unable to figure out the entire meaning when put together.
But it didn’t matter that she didn’t understand, Xu Ke would explain it clearly to her.
"It means that all the people who kidnapped you have been caught. To know if you said those things, I’ll just ask them, no need for you to swear." Xu Ke kindly explained to Tang Zhongwei.
"All caught?" Tang Zhongwei widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Yes, all caught." Xu Ke nodded, confirming that Tang Zhongwei heard correctly.
Hearing Xu Ke’s confirmation, Tang Zhongwei felt as if the sky was falling, the surroundings blurred, how could they all be caught? Tang Zhongwei thought, why were they all apprehended despite their prowess? Even if they escaped or died, it would be better, why were they caught? Tang Zhongwei was puzzled, feeling a stifling sensation in her chest and a metallic taste in her throat, but she swallowed it back down.
Yu Xia kindly waited until Tang Zhongwei seemed to recover a bit before continuing, "While we were escaping, you could have taken me along, the place I mentioned wasn’t far, they couldn’t find us immediately. If you took me, we could have escaped, but you ran alone, leaving me there to be caught. That place wasn’t good, nowhere to hide, I was almost caught, but luckily I found a river, though it was smelly and cold, it got me through."
At this point, Tang Zhongwei seemed to have given up struggling entirely, she didn’t retort, so Yu Xia continued, "Initially, I didn’t plan to hold you accountable for leaving me there, but I didn’t expect, even with broken limbs, the first thing after waking up would be trying to kill me, risking further injury just to see me dead. I became curious, logically we don’t have any deep hatred, I only blocked you a few times, why are you so persistent in wanting me dead, trying repeatedly to kill me?"
Yu Xia truly didn’t understand, the last person with intentions like this was her mother, but her mother didn’t want her dead, just wanted her as an organ source for her brother. Yet, Tang Zhongwei genuinely wanted her dead, unwilling to give up, persistent to an extreme.
The hospital room was very quiet, everyone awaited Tang Zhongwei’s answer, but what came was her reckless laughter.
"Why? You’re wrong, you did block my path, and my jealousy of you is real." Tang Zhongwei, having laughed enough, gradually restrained her laughter and spoke, looking at Yu Xia.
