Chapter 917 - Where’s Xiaohua? (2/2)

If he had talked nicely at the start, nothing of this sort would have happened. The Lu family had tough bones, and if one wanted to bend their bones, they should just break them.

After quarreling for half a day, Xia Mingzheng still did not get a reason. When they went out and he thought of Xia Yixuan’s miserable look and Lu family’s attitude of not admitting their fault, the fire in his heart grew bigger.

“Mingzheng, let’s go back first.”

Upon seeing Xia Mingzheng rooted to the ground, she could only advise him. “At the very least, let’s go to the hospital and visit Xia Yixuan. No one is taking care of her there.”

She extended her hand to pull Xia Mingzheng but—piak! Xia Mingzheng slapped her hand away and the eyes that glared at Shen Yijun looked as if he was not staring at his wife, but an enemy.

“Shen Yijun, Yixuan isn’t your daughter so your heart doesn’t ache, right? If the person lying inside was Xia Ruoxin, can you be so nonchalant?”

Shen Yijun lightly caressed her wrist that was red from the slap. She was not angry and smiled instead. Her every word was heart-wrenching.

“Do you believe it? If the person lying in the hospital was Xia Ruoxin, I would treat her like she’s dead and add another ‘you should have died a long time ago’. I have said this sentence a few times during the four years when Xia Yixuan was dead. Don’t you remember?”

Xia Mingzheng was choked and did not know how to open his mouth. How could he not know Shen Yijun’s protection towards Xia Yixuan? If not, they would not have spoiled Xia Yixuan to the extent where she was unruly.

“Yijun, I… I’m sorry…”

“Forget it.” Shen Yijun raised her head and hid the sourness in her heart beneath her eyes. Now, she was also smiling coldly in her heart. Xia Mingzheng, what use does your one apology have? What’s the point of having cops if apologies would do the trick? Do you think you can wipe away everything with a single apology?

You only allow your daughter to bully someone else. Now that your daughter has become the victim instead, you also knew how to get angry and had felt the ache for her. However, whose heart was not made of meat? Piak! She slapped herself again. She did not even know what had come over her back then or what medicine did she eat wrongly to treat her own biological daughter in that way.

This slap had made Xia Mingzheng confused.

“Yijun, what are you doing?”

“Nothing much.” Shen Yijun looked at her hand. “I can’t control it.”

“Let’s go.” Xia Mingzheng was frightened and hurriedly held Shen Yijun’s hands tightly and apologized for his reckless mouth. He was too anxious, really too anxious. He did not do it on purpose, but it was precisely in this unwitting moment where he had said the truth.

When Xia Mingzheng and his wife had left, Lu Jinrong then walked in.

“You’re back.” Lu Ke’en pointed at the seat next to him. “Come and sit. I have something to ask you.”

Lu Ke’en sat down and actually he knew what Lu Ke’en wanted to ask, but he was also very unsure of a lot of things now. Everything had to wait until Lu Xiaohua woke up. How could he say anything when she had not woken up and the critical period had not passed?

“Where’s Xiaohua?” Lu Ke’en asked. He was not concerned about anything else and only wanted to know where his daughter was.
