Ah Hui nodded. Initially, he wanted to say some more, but since Xi Mushan had already closed his eyes, he fell silent. Furthermore, he did not have the heart to disturb him, so he just let it be.

He quietly got into the car and drove straight to Hospital T.

At this very moment, inside the superior ward, Xi Xinyi had already woken up. She looked very pale and haggard. Generally, she looked much weaker and her chin had sharpened drastically. You could tell that she was not doing well recently. In fact, now she looked beaten.

Leaning against the bed head, she held onto her handphone and called Han Yifeng over and over again, yet it kept showing her that Han Yifeng’s handphone was switched off. She was exceptionally worried and restless. Her beautiful eyes could not help but redden as she looked dazed too.

On the side, Yue Lingsi was peeling an apple. When she noticed her looking like this, she was concerned. “Xinyi, don’t be so anxious. Yifeng might have something going on. Let him have some time alone first. The incident yesterday was just too…”

“Don’t be worried? Mother, how can I not be worried? He’s never treated me this way! He must be angry. Mother, would he not want me and the baby? Mother…”

Xi Xinyi turned around with a dazed expression as she gripped her phone tightly and looked at Yue Lingsi with teary eyes. “Mother, I’m really heartbroken…”

When she saw how frail Xi Xinyi was, Yue Lingsi felt her heart ache too, so she quickly consoled her, “Don’t let your imagination run wild, Xinyi. You are carrying his child now. He wouldn’t abandon you, so don’t worry. On the Han family’s end, they wouldn’t agree either. Besides, the two of you just got married. There’s still a long journey ahead of you, so don’t say such silly things.”

“Mother, I really didn’t do it on purpose… But if I hadn’t done that, Yifeng would’ve never seen my good side. Now he hates me and doesn’t want me anymore, Mother…”

Xi Xinyi’s tearful eyes widened while she sniffed, and tried calling Han Yifeng again as she said, “No, I must talk to him… There’s no one else in this world that loves him more than me. He can’t just abandon me and the baby!”

“Xinyi, rest for a while. You’ve been making calls ever since you woke up in the morning. As much as you want to reach him, Yifeng’s phone is still switched off. Even Ziyao and the rest can’t find him right now. Just let him have some time alone. The two of you are already married anyway, and now that you bear his child too, you don’t have to worry about him running off.”

Yue Lingsi reached out and wanted to stop Xi Xinyi, yet she persistently made another call which still went to voicemail. She finally broke down and tossed her phone to the ground.

Bang!

With a crash, the brand new phone announced the end of its life.

“He’s doing this on purpose. He’s purposely avoiding me! Mother, what should I do? What should I do?!”

“Xinyi, calm down! Don’t hurt yourself. The doctor says you can’t get too emotional! Do you want there to be any mishap with your child?”

“Then, make Yifeng come. I must talk to him. I really didn’t hurt Xiaye on purpose! I didn’t think that things would’ve turned out to be so severe back then. I just wanted Cousin to frighten her a little, make her back out herself, or make Yifeng change his mind about her. I really didn’t think she would be expelled by the military academy. Otherwise, what could I have done? Grandfather was going to let her get engaged with Yifeng. That was the only way to break them apart. Mother, after the incident, I really blamed myself… I suffered too…”

Xi Xinyi buried her face in her hands and wept, her light golden long hair tumbling down in a mess. Her usual beauty was no longer apparent. There was just haggardness and dullness left.

“Enough. Don’t cry anymore. I know you’ve suffered too, but these things… Xinyi, what do you want me to say to you?” Yue Lingsi could not help but sigh sorrowfully. Who else but her could understand this feeling?

“Mother…” Xi Xinyi was incredibly sad. She leaned into her embrace, looking for a sliver of comfort.

However, right at this moment, there was suddenly a knock on the door. Xi Xinyi then wiped her tears away and looked at the door.

“Madam, Miss Xinyi!”

It was Xi Mushan’s secretary, Ah Hui, who pushed the door open.

The mother and daughter were shocked. Their eyes flashed with apprehensiveness and then they saw Xi Mushan walk in. He carried his usual heavy aura. His stern expression was all tensed in seriousness, exuding an imposing and cold air.

“Father!” Xi Xinyi was stunned as panic crossed her eyes. She subconsciously looked to Yue Lingsi, who had stood up a little uneasily.

Xi Mushan glared at the two of them and walked over.

“Father, why are you here? Are you okay?”

Xi Xinyi naturally did not forget that because of Xi Xiaye’s matter, the government seemed to have had some news that was bad for Xi Mushan. In fact, in this period, Xi Mushan seemed to be extremely busy with work, so much so that he almost could not find the time to handle his family matters.

“Mushan, the doctor says that Xinyi’s pregnancy isn’t very stable. She can’t be overworked and get provoked. Xiaye went overboard last night. Despite all that, she should consider the occassion too. She clearly didn’t want everyone to have peace! Mother’s high blood pressure was almost triggered, and my father, he’s furious too. She’s just doing this so our family will look bad in front of the Yues and the Hans! If word gets out about this, where can we put our face? She really doesn’t know her place!” Yue Lingsi could not help but begin ranting.

“Father, it’s not Sister’s fault. I deserve all of this. It was I who hurt her first, so I can understand how she feels. She’s always been deeply in love with Yifeng. I…”

Xi Xinyi did not finish because she noticed Xi Mushan glaring at her with an exceptionally stern and sharp gaze. She stopped and glanced a little uneasily at Xi Mushan.

“So, does that mean that you’re the culprit behind Xiaye’s drama?” Xi Mushan demanded in a low voice, his gaze fixated on Xi Xinyi.

Xi Xinyi trembled as she quietly lowered her head and bit her lip. Her shoulders trembled slightly and she was softly sobbing.

“Mushan, Xinyi she…”

“Shut up!”

Yue Lingsi wanted to say something, but she was sternly pushed back by Xi Mushan. His sharp gaze even frightened Yue Lingsi.

“Father, you’ve frightened Mother!” Xi Xinyi quickly lifted a hand to hold Yue Lingsi steady.

“This is the good daughter that you’ve raised. Just like you, to achieve your goals, you’d scheme and spare no tricks.” Xi Mushan sneered as he looked at the two of them.

“Father, this was all me. It has nothing to do with Mother. You don’t have to criticize her like that!”

Xi Xinyi was protective of her mother. She pushed Yue Lingsi to the back and looked at Xi Mushan stubbornly.
