Chapter 683 - 670
In a fit of anger, unable to find the right words, Helian Shuang actually raised her hand and knocked over the thermos bottle on the table!
Inside was boiling hot broth!
Yu Sangwan knew it all too well. She widened her eyes and quickly pulled Helian Si away, "Ah Si! Watch out! It’s hot!"
"Tss... Ah..."
Helian Si was pulled away, but Yu Sangwan’s own arm was thoroughly splashed by the soup. The broth was so hot that her skin reddened instantly, making her arm tremble with pain, unable to stifle a cry!
"Wanwan!" Helian Si was extremely distressed, and moved deeply by her protecting him, "Silly girl, what if it burns me? I’m a man, I can take it better than you!"
Helian Shuang’s eyes went blank as she watched. Are they... in tune with each other, inseparable? No, it can’t be like this!
"Ah!" Helian Shuang suddenly clutched her chest in pain, her face anguished, and her body fell backward.
"Miss!" Ou Guanshen was startled and hurried to support her.
Helian Si was shocked, "Sis!"
He looked back at Yu Sangwan, "Wanwan..."
Though her hand hurt, Helian Shuang was Jinxuan’s mother after all! She pushed Helian Si, "I’m fine, go quickly!"
"...Okay."
Helian Si went over and picked up Helian Shuang horizontally, shouting to Ou Guanshen, "Quickly call a doctor! Open the door, return to the inner courtyard!"
"Yes!"
The commotion suddenly quieted down. Yu Sangwan stayed alone in the lounge, her heart filled with sorrow... How could it be like this? What exactly is it that displeased Helian Shuang about her? Does Helian Shuang really can’t bear to see her with Jinxuan?
The dishes on the table were clearly still steaming, but... seemed to have cooled down.
Helian Si went to the inner courtyard and didn’t return all day, it seemed Helian Shuang’s condition wasn’t good.
Yu Sangwan waited until the end of the workday and left Guan Chao herself. She checked her phone, but didn’t have the courage to dial his number.
Back home, she sat alone in the room, feeling down, not even turning on the lights.
She didn’t know how long it had been when suddenly, ’snap’, the lights went on. Yu Sangwan closed her eyes, not quite adapted.
Le Zhengsheng walked over, staring at her for a long time, his gaze falling on her right arm... The burned area had blistered!
"You..."
After his shock, Le Zhengsheng didn’t ask anything, just turned to fetch the medicine box.
He opened the medicine box, crouched in front of her, and took her arm. One by one, he carefully punctured her blisters, disinfected, and applied medicine... everything was so meticulous.
Yu Sangwan finally came to her senses, looking at Le Zhengsheng, "Ah Sheng, won’t you ask me anything?"
"No." Le Zhengsheng shook his head, "I told you, I won’t force you. It’s the same in any aspect, I’m here, always waiting for you. If you need anything, just turn around and you’ll see me."
Yu Sangwan’s eyes reddened, her emotions choking inside her. Helian Shuang fell ill, coinciding with the public holiday. Yu Sangwan hadn’t seen Helian Si, and her heart was filled with unease.
When the phone rang, she thought it was Helian Si and answered without looking.
"Ah Si!"
But what came from inside was Helian Shuang’s cold, distant voice, "It’s me."
"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, her lips trembling slightly, "Aunt."
"Let’s meet," Helian Shuang said faintly.
Yu Sangwan bit her lower lip, "Okay."
They indeed should meet, many things need to be laid out and talked about.
"Should I go to Guan Chao?"
"No need, we’ll meet outside."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Sangwan frowned deeply. Why meet outside? She felt uneasy, sensing something might happen.
...
Prepared, Yu Sangwan went to meet Helian Shuang at the agreed location.
Helian Shuang sat in the car, giving her a cold glance, "Get in."
"Yes, Aunt."
Once in the car, Helian Shuang immediately instructed the driver to drive. Yu Sangwan didn’t know where they were going, she just quietly sat without speaking. The car drove to a secluded area, finally stopping at a peaceful woodland. It looked quiet, like private property.
Helian Shuang said faintly, "Get out."
Yu Sangwan followed out of the car, looking around, "Aunt, what is this place?"
"Haven’t you always wanted to see Jinxuan? I’ve brought you here now."
Helian Shuang gave her a meaningful smile.
Yu Sangwan was immediately stunned, to see Jinxuan? What is Helian Shuang up to? Clearly, Jinxuan is alive and well! Helian Si must be at Guan Chao now!
"Come on!"
Helian Shuang walked straight ahead, Yu Sangwan frowned and had no choice but to follow.
In the forest, there was a serene small villa. It was very quiet and clean, evidently maintained by someone year-round.
"Miss."
Upon entering, a butler immediately came to greet her.
"Yes, is everything ready?"
"Yes. Everything is ready, the same as in previous years."
Yu Sangwan grew increasingly confused, what did this mean?
Helian Shuang continued inside, leading her into a courtyard. This courtyard was especially lush with greenery, but... carried an indescribable sense of desolation and solitude.
Further inside, the air was filled with the scent of incense and something burning...
Yu Sangwan was startled, looking up to see a tombstone right in front of her!
"Ah..." Helian Shuang sighed, "You’ve always asked me, and I’ve never let you come. Did you think I was deliberately making things difficult for you? Child, I truly had no time! Now, Jinxuan is here, take your time to talk to him!"
"...No!"
Yu Sangwan couldn’t believe it, staring at the scene in utter shock!
This... actually is Jinxuan’s tombstone? No, this isn’t true! Helian Si is clearly Jinxuan! What is this tombstone then?
"No, no..." Yu Sangwan covered her mouth in disbelief, shaking her head in rejection.
"Child."
Helian Shuang’s tone suddenly turned gentle.
"I know you’re still thinking about Jinxuan... To you, Ah Si is merely a substitute, right? Yes, he resembles Jinxuan very much, but no matter how much, he’s an uncle, not Jinxuan! Your choice of Ah Si is unfair to both Jinxuan and Ah Si!"
"No, it’s not..."
Yu Sangwan was sobbing uncontrollably, "It’s not like that, Ah Si is Jinxuan!"
"Ah?" Helian Shuang was surprised, "Why would you think so? You’re really not well, child!"
"No, I’m not sick!" Yu Sangwan’s eyes were blurred with tears, "I’ve seen the tattoo on Ah Si’s shoulder, ZERO... exactly the same as Jinxuan’s, and..."
"This child!"
Helian Shuang interrupted, not listening to her finish, shaking her head incredulously, "Just based on that, you believe Ah Si is Jinxuan? Ridiculous! The uncle and nephew grew up together, many habits and teachings were shared! Based on these similar details, you conclude they’re the same person?"
"..." Yu Sangwan stood stunned, unable to rebut.
"You!" Helian Shuang sighed, "So that’s how you think! Then let me tell you, you’re mistaken!"
"I..."
Helian Shuang pointed at the tombstone, sternly, "If, as you thought, Ah Si is Jinxuan, then what am I doing here? Am I cursing my own son? I’m Jinxuan’s mother, why would I treat my own son like this?"
