Chapter 355 - Chapter 355: Chapter Three-Hundred and Fifty-Five: Replacement (2/2)
Xiang Yang smiled through her tears. “Hmph! Well, you won’t be able to hear me nag in the future!” She couldn’t help but shiver after saying that. Shi Ke spent more time away on missions than with her, and though it might be goodbye forever every time he left, Xiang Yang still firmly believed that Shi Ke would definitely return. However, just now, she suddenly had an ominous feeling.
It was already late at night when Xi Cheng rushed to the hospital. He went to see Shi Nian first, but a nurse stopped him, telling him he couldn’t visit as visiting hours were over. He wanted to go and ask Yun Nan how Shi Nian was, but he then thought of her relationship with Fang Xi and knew Yun Nan didn’t like him, so he could only give up and head over to check on his mother.
When he arrived at his mother’s ward, he looked in through the crack of the slightly opened door. Lin Yu was wiping his mother’s body. This was originally the nurse’s job, but Lin Yu was worried about handing that task to others and insisted on doing it herself.
Xi Cheng would’ve been very touched by this scene if it were in the past. But today, for some reason, Gu Man’s words suddenly rang in his mind as he stared at Lin Yu. ” Your household staffhave long been bought by her. Othervvise, how else could she know Godmothers preferences so accurately and even precisely manipulate Godmothers emotions? You’re all fooled by her calm and disinterested appearance!”
‘Did she? Did Lin Yu really do that? he thought. He then heard a low sob.
“Mom, can you please wake up? I really can’t take it anymore. I don’t know what to do. In this world, no one is sincerely kind to me aside from you. How am I supposed to live without you?! Mom, please wake up!” Lin Yu cried, kneeling on the ground and leaning against Han Yuan’s bed.
Xi Cheng’s chest tightened, and he quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
“Lin Yu…”
Lin Yu was shocked and hurriedly stood up. She didn’t even wipe her tears before asking, “Why are you back? Didn’t you say you have a business social tonight?”
“You and Mom are more important than any social. I came to see you two!” Xi Cheng said loudly.
Lin Yu was stunned. It was the first time she’d heard such words from Xi
Cheng. Xi Cheng stepped forward to look at his mother and raised his voice. “Mom, wake up. Lin Yu is about to fall apart. Wake up for her sake, if not for mine.”
Lin Yu quickly stopped him. “How can you talk to Mom like that? Xi Cheng! Don’t shout at Mom! She’ll get angry!”
Xi Cheng nonchalantly uttered, “She can be as angry as she wants so long as she wakes up! We can’t let her continue to sleep like this.. Look at how exhausted you are! Mom’s heart will definitely ache when she wakes up and sees the state you’re in!”
