The door, which had been ajar, was shut by Wang Huiqin ahead of time.
Pulling Wang Xuerou’s hand, Wang Huiqin pleaded, “Xuerou, all of this is a misunderstanding. You absolutely cannot speak carelessly, do you understand?”
“Can you do this for your aunt, please?” Wang Huiqin said with a look of helplessness. “What happened to Xuerou has already happened, and the dead are already dead. Can we just let it go? I will, I will treat you very well.”
“Don’t you always want to go abroad? Aunt will send you right away. What do you say?” Wang Huiqin whispered.
She was genuinely afraid of stimulating Wang Xuerou.
How could Wang Xuerou be willing? But she clearly understood that now was not the best time to deal with this matter; her most important task was to save her own life.
Wang Xuerou thought a lot and decided that what she needed to do most was to save her life: “Aunt, I understand. I won't speak carelessly.”
“The kindness you and my cousin have always shown me, I keep it in my heart.” she said very earnestly.
Wang Huiqin held Wang Xuerou’s hand, saying with relief, “I knew it, you are the most sensible and obedient. You always listen to me.” She said with a beaming smile.
Wang Xuerou left, she left for her life.
Xu Ruowei was furious, but when Wang Xuerou left, everything had already been arranged on her end. Heh, as soon as Wang Xuerou stepped out of the hospital gate, someone would be waiting for her.
Xu Ruowei glared fiercely at Wang Huiqin, truly incompetent and only causing trouble. She couldn’t help her with anything, and instead, she was dragging her down here. But even so, she couldn’t lash out, she could only endure, after all, the person in front of her was her mother. Yes, after all, she was still quite useful.
Wang Huiqin walked to the bedside and held Xu Ruowei’s hand, saying with a smile, “Ruowei, don’t worry, Mom knows Xuerou’s character very well. She won’t speak carelessly, don’t worry.”
Xu Ruowei’s hands, hidden beneath the covers, clenched tightly. Grinding her back teeth, she was displeased. But she had to look up and say with a smile, “Mom, you’re so good to me.”
Wang Huiqin embraced her daughter, saying with a smile, “You are my daughter, who else would I be good to if not you?”
A cold sneer curled at the corner of Xu Ruowei’s lips. Oh, really? I hope you can still say these words in the future.
“Ruowei, we’ve already wronged Xuerou, so we must treat her well, understand? Regarding your aunt’s matter, we were ultimately in the wrong. If it weren’t for us, your aunt wouldn’t have…”
Xu Ruowei’s heart was filled with resentment. Why, why did she have to keep bringing this up to her?
She had always wanted to forget about this matter, almost forgetting it, but Wang Huiqin always brought it up in front of her, making her remember it constantly.
She didn’t want to be like this, but she could only endure.
“Yes, Mom, I understand. I will treat my cousin well.”
Wang Huiqin gently soothed Xu Ruowei’s shoulders, saying earnestly, “Alright, alright, don’t think about this anymore. The most important thing now is to get your body well.”
“That An Nuan, she’s truly ruthless. Ruowei, don’t worry, Mom won’t let her get away with it. My precious child, whom I hold dear, was hurt by her like that. I won’t let her go.”
Xu Ruowei’s originally terrible mood instantly improved. She snuggled into her mother’s embrace and said coquettishly, “I knew it, Mom is the best to me.”
“Mom, I’m tired and want to rest.”
“You should go back and rest too.” Xu Ruowei’s voice held a hint of urgency, and her phone kept buzzing with messages.
Wang Huiqin said worriedly, “You’re alone here, Mom is not at ease, I’d rather…”
“Mom, with Xizhou here, nothing will happen.” Xu Ruowei lowered her head and said shyly, “I want some alone time with Xizhou, I…”
Wang Huiqin smiled, held Xu Ruowei’s hand, and patted it gently. “Okay, okay, I understand. Mom is leaving now, leaving now. Giving you and Xizhou some alone time. You find Mom an eyesore now.”
Wang Huiqin said with a smile, “Then Mom will leave. If anything happens, just call Mom.”
Xu Ruowei was already extremely impatient and said perfunctorily, “Yes, I will.”
Wang Huiqin left.
Xu Ruowei quickly got up, picked up her phone, and made a call.
In the basement.
As soon as Wang Xuerou left the hospital, she was kidnapped. She wanted to call for help, but her mouth was covered tightly, and she had no chance.
Xu Ruowei approached step by step, looking at Wang Xuerou with a face full of a sinister aura. She said softly, “Cousin, why are you trembling? I’m your cousin. I just want to talk to you properly. You don’t need to be so scared.”
“Cousin, tell me, if this dagger were to pierce your heart, do you think you would die?”
Wang Xuerou looked at the person in front of her in horror, extremely frightened. She wanted to escape, but unfortunately, she had no such opportunity.
She could no longer escape.
“Cousin, I will listen obediently. I won’t say anything I heard today. I’ll pretend I never heard it. Cousin, just pretend this never happened. Believe me, I won’t say a word.” Wang Xuerou pleaded incessantly, but all her pleas turned into nothing as the cold fruit knife plunged into her heart.
Her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as she looked at the person in front of her.
“Cousin, I only believe that the mouths of dead people are the most tight-lipped,” Xu Ruowei said with a cold smile. “Oh, and it just so happens that I was just thinking about how to make An Nuan disappear from my side completely, and then you appeared. You truly are my good cousin. Your death will be of great help to me.”
Wang Xuerou tightly grabbed Xu Ruowei’s hand, directly injuring her. She could only desperately watch herself die little by little, watching Xu Ruowei’s ferocious and triumphant smiling face. No matter how strong her will to survive, she eventually closed her eyes slowly.
Seeing Wang Xuerou’s eyes closed, Xu Ruowei was still not at ease. She pulled out the knife and plunged it in again.
She made a phone call, then simply left.
On the road, she took off her gloves, threw them directly off the cliff, and finally drove away.
…
Back home, An Nuan felt uneasy, always sensing that something bad was about to happen. Perhaps it was just lack of rest.
Her mother had died, but there was a lead on her long-lost brother. Her brother was her mother’s lifelong regret. She vowed to find her brother. Only then would her mother have no regrets.
But she had no clues. And the only person who knew about this was Shen Xizhou. But now, even seeing Shen Xizhou had become a luxury. He was not someone she could see whenever she wanted.
