Chapter 417: Chapter 417: What’s Her Hospitalization Got to Do with Me?
Seeing the flushed cheeks of Tong Yao from walking too fast, Si Chen’s face softened slightly, "She’s already woke up and there’s nothing serious, she just needs to rest for a while, don’t worry, you should go home for now!"
Just as he finished speaking, the door of the ward suddenly opened from the inside. Si Weimin, with a sullen face, stood in the doorway and said to the two, "Your mother wants to see you both."
Tong Yao: "..."
Why would Lin Fengying want to see her at this time?
Just thinking about it, she was sure it couldn’t be anything good.
She glanced at Si Chen, who also seemed to have noticed something was amiss.
Just as Tong Yao was about to say something, he spoke up first.
"You go home first, I’ll go in and see."
If he went in, nothing good would happen, but it wasn’t any better if he didn’t. Just as Tong Yao was about to leave, Si Weimin said, "Xiaochen, your mother wants you both to go in. She’s already like this, do you still want to upset her? If she takes more pills while we’re not around, you’ll regret it when the time comes."
"Do I have to go out and ask you to come in myself?" The voice of Lin Fengying came from the ward, as if she would come out if Tong Yao didn’t go in.
Tong Yao and Si Chen looked at each other, neither of them said a word, and they entered the ward together with tense faces.
Lin Fengying had indeed suffered a lot this time. Her face was so pale that it didn’t look human, as if she had aged a decade in an instant. Tong Yao had thought that Lin Fengying was just trying to scare people by taking rat poison, but it didn’t seem like it now.
If Lin Fengying was just trying to scare people, it would be better, but if she really wanted to die, it would be a bit troublesome.
"Xiaochen, regardless of whether you want to sever our mother-son relationship or not, I have one thing to say, you two must divorce." Lin Fengying looked at Tong Yao, her eyes full of hatred, as if Tong Yao had done something unthinkable. Her first words were to ask for their divorce.
That Lin Fengying would say these things didn’t surprise Tong Yao in the least. Wasn’t all this dramatic events just for this?
Tong Yao stayed silent, for the first time feeling unsure. If Lin Fengying truly threatened Si Chen with her own life, would Si Chen really not divorce her?
She didn’t know the answer.
"We won’t divorce." Si Chen’s expression was indifferent, and his tone was devoid of any emotional fluctuations, as plain as saying he didn’t want to eat.
Lin Fengying, gasping for breath, started to cough violently, look as if she was about to pass away at any moment.
"Xiaochen, do you really want me to die? Would you be happy if I were gone?"
Lin Fengying glared at Si Chen, her eyes filled with a hint of madness, "Do you believe me, If you two dare to stay together, I will jump off the hospital roof tonight, and I want all the people in the hospital to know that you are willing to have your mother die for a woman."
As she spoke, she turned to Tong Yao and gritted her teeth, "I want to see, if you two can still manage to be together with a parent’s life in between."
If her eldest son didn’t divorce, she couldn’t continue to live in shame.
The son she raised with all her hard work, even if he doesn’t recognize her anymore, can’t just be taken care of by others. Tong Yao shouldn’t think about taking her son away.
It can be said that Lin Fengying is now in a dead end, she would rather die than let her eldest son stay with Tong Yao, she can’t bear to see her eldest son being taken away by the Tong Family.
She wasn’t bluffing, if her eldest son really insists on staying with Tong Yao, she would like to use death as a means to force the two to separate.
Just to separate the two of them, she would do anything.
She has already drunk rat poison once, she’s not afraid of doing it a second time.
Si Chen looked at Lin Fengying, and Lin Fengying also stared at Si Chen. The two of them stared at each other for a long time, neither of them said a word, as if it was a silent confrontation.
"..."
Tong Yao looked at the firm look in Lin Fengying’s eyes, and couldn’t help but clench her fists. She could tell that Lin Fengying wasn’t bluffing, but was serious.
Lin Fengying was really planning to use death to force her to separate from Si Chen.
She glanced at Si Chen next to her and seeing that he didn’t say anything, Tong Yao understood. Si Chen too, had seen the determination in Lin Fengying’s eyes.
Although Si Chen had always been cold towards Lin Fengying because of his father’s death, Lin Fengying was still his biological mother, he couldn’t possibly just watch Lin Fengying to die.
Just like what Lin Fengying said, if there would be another life lost between her and Si Chen, they wouldn’t be able to be happy.
But she was also not willing to divorce.
Lin Fengying’s emotions were still unstable right now, she was capable of anything. So, it’s better to first stabilize her emotions!
Tong Yao’s eyes darted around in thought, then she said to Si Chen, "I’ll move back to my parents’ house for a while. Even if we are going to divorce, let’s wait until after the New Year’s!" 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. She couldn’t stand to see Lin Fengying for another second.
"Where are you going? My mother is in the hospital. Aren’t you going to take care of her as her daughter-in-law? Have you paid the medical bills?" Si Xiaohui happened to bump into Tong Yao at the door of the ward. Knowing that her brother-in-law was inside, she plucked up courage and began to yell at Tong Yao.
Tong Yao rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Your mother wants me to divorce your brother, what’s her stay in the hospital got to do with me?"
"You..." Si Xiaohui stomped her foot in anger, "do you have any manners? Do you know how to respect elders?"
"Get out of my way." Tong Yao was in a bad mood and didn’t have time to listen to Si Xiaohui’s nagging, so she just pushed her away and left.
"Tong Yao..."
Si Xiaohui shouted loudly, but upon seeing Tong Yao walk away without looking back, she stormed into the ward to complain, but immediately backed down when she saw Si Chen was inside.
"Big brother, why are you here too?"
Si Chen cast a cold glance at her, then shifted his gaze away, he didn’t even take a look at Lin Fengying and just walked out of the ward.
Lin Fengying opened her mouth as if she wanted to stop Si Chen, but she couldn’t make a sound.
Once Si Chen was gone, Si Xiaohui quickly closed the door of the ward, then anxiously asked, "Mom, did big brother agree to divorce Tong Yao?"
"If they don’t divorce, I’ll die to show them." Lin Fengying said, somewhat excitedly.
"Mom, you just have to play along in front of big brother, scare them a bit is enough, why did you actually take the medicine! Big brother wasn’t even there, you almost scared me and brother-in-law to death."
Si Xiaohui thought Lin Fengying was just like the old ladies in the village, playing the game of crying, making trouble, and threatening to hang herself. She was blaming Lin Fengying for carrying things too far, she and her husband were almost scared to death.
Now that life was finally getting better, it would have been a pity if she had died.
Lin Fengying was still angry and feeling a little weak, she didn’t have the energy to talk much, but she didn’t forget to instruct Si Xiaohui, "You should go and see if Tong Yao has moved out in a while."
"But who’s going to take care of you if I leave?" Si Xiaohui didn’t want to go. There was snow outside, walking was slippery and cold. It was so much more comfortable to stay in the room!
Si Weimin had something to say to Lin Fengying, so he took the opportunity to send Si Xiaohui away: "I’ll take care of your mother. You should go and check, let your mother rest assured."
