Chapter 105: The Intrepid but Soft-hearted Dr. Cheng (1/2)

Shen Wei completely quieted down, now looking at Cheng Xi dazedly. Cheng Xi smiled in response, and then said to Shen Wei’s equally dazed brother, “Shen Wei’s thirsty. Get her some water to drink.”

When the water was brought over, Cheng Xi personally helped Shen Wei drink it. As Cheng Xi held the glass up, she said, “Don’t be afraid, and don’t worry. Drink this and go to sleep. After you wake up, everything will be fine.

“Don’t worry. If anything happens, I’ll shoulder the blame with you.”

Perhaps it was because Fu Mingyi’s ‘death’ had shocked her too much, or perhaps it was because Cheng Xi’s words had warmed her heart, but for whatever reason, Shen Wei actually cooperated and drank that glass of water.

Not long later, amidst the sobs of the Fu family, she closed her eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep.

Only then did Cheng Xi lightly exhale, put down Shen Wei, and turn to address the distraught Fu family. They were all clustered around Fu Mingyi, hugging him, crying, and calling for help. “Don’t worry, he’s not dead. He just ingested a few sleeping pills.”

Even though she had been ‘whispering’ into Shen Wei’s ears, she hadn’t done it very softly, so most people in the room had heard at least a little of that exchange. In this sort of situation, it was honestly already quite level-headed for them to only embrace Fu Mingyi instead of rushing up to Cheng Xi to beat her up.

Nevertheless, when Cheng Xi spoke, despite her gentle tone, a cold indifference permeated her words.

Fu Mingyi’s mother and aunt both choked at her callousness, and then his aunt criticized her. “As a doctor, how can you frighten someone like that?”

“Then, should I wake Shen Wei up and let her stab him?” Her tone was practical and realistic as she continued, “I do have to say, she’s currently in a bad mental state. Even if she does stab him, it would be a waste.”

Fu Mingyi’s mother and aunt, who were familiar with Shen Wei’s crazy behavior, were rendered speechless.

Luckily, Fu Mingyi’s father was reasonable, and he went up to talk to the two of them. In the end, the three of them lifted Fu Mingyi up and brought him out.

Only then did Cheng Xi look at the Shen family. Right now, they were still a bit dazed, mainly because Cheng Xi’s behavior today was very different from normal. Before this, they had all thought that she was a pure and soft-hearted woman. Someone pretty with a good character, good temperament, and a kind, generous, and understanding heart.

And only now did they even realize that the familiar woman they thought they knew had such a daring side to her.

The intrepid but soft-hearted Cheng Xi then said, “The way this place looks will negatively impact Shen Wei’s mood. I’d like to take her back to my place.”

“The hospital?” Upon hearing Cheng Xi’s request, Shen Wei’s mother’s voice started trembling.

Cheng Xi didn’t respond, and instead asked a few questions. “When did she start having these abnormal feelings?”

“Two days ago, when she found out that Fu Mingyi cheated before they got married. At that time, she was very angry, but just angry. She wasn’t throwing things around or hitting people—she was just saying that she wanted to divorce Fu Mingyi. We all thought that she might have been acting a bit rash, so we advised her not to be so impetuous, to think it through carefully. However, this merely made her feel that none of us understood her and that we wanted to see her die.”

“Aside from this, did she display any other unusual behavior?”

“Yes. She said that Fu Mingyi wanted to kill her, and she said that he married her all to do that. But we thought that she was just spouting nonsense after being excessively angered. So we didn’t place much importance on it.”

Cheng Xi nodded. “Then what happened today?”

“Today, the two families got together to see if we could persuade the two of them to reconcile……”

Cheng Xi interrupted her. “Is it true that Fu Mingyi had an affair?”

Actually, she was hoping that it was false, and that it was all in Shen Wei’s imagination. But after a mild silence, Shen Wei’s brother said, “It’s true. When she made a fake account to test Fu Mingyi’s loyalty, he mistook it for another woman’s account and immediately warned her to stop harassing him, saying that they were over…… After Shen Wei led him on some more, she found out that, before they got married, Fu Mingyi had had multiple girlfriends besides her. One of them had gotten pregnant and threatened him, so Fu Mingyi had found someone to forcibly cause her to have an abortion before breaking off all connection with her……”

“……and you still want them to reconcile after this?”

“What else can we do?” Shen Wei’s mother interrupted through her tears. “Shen Wei’s also pregnant now.”

“……”

When Shen Wei’s mother said this, everyone’s expressions revealed various levels of annoyance and exasperation. It wasn’t just Cheng Xi’s; even Shen Wei’s father looked ashen.

Cheng Xi was similarly at a loss for what to say. She remained silent for quite a while before asking, “How long have you known?”
