Chapter 880: 880, do you guys want to die or something?

Nangong Hospital.

Shi Minyan received the call and hurried over from the company.

Outside the emergency room.

“Minyan!” Qian Yulin immediately approached, “You’re finally here…”

“Sister-in-law, what happened to you?” Shi Minyan asked in surprise as he looked at her.

He had been concerned after hearing that the old madam Shi had suddenly fainted and was sent to the hospital, but seeing Qian Yulin’s condition, he realized that she seemed to have suffered even worse!

Her hair was a mess, her face covered in various blue and purple bruises, with dried blood still at the corner of her mouth…

As if she had just undergone some sort of ill-treatment…

Qian Yulin had no choice but to briefly recount what had happened, concluding with, “Mom was too angry, so she suddenly fainted…”

“…” Shi Minyan rubbed his temple with a headache.

“Uncle, I’m telling the truth,” Qian Yulin hurriedly said.

“Sister-in-law, I haven’t doubted you.”

With the injuries so obvious on Qian Yulin’s face, Shi Minyan felt embarrassed to blame her for anything.

Moreover, he understood his mother’s temperament best as her son.

She was always uncompromising when she was right, had a very bad temper, and would often lash out at Qian Yulin when acting impulsively, scolding her in minor cases and raising a hand in more severe ones, something he had witnessed before…

So this incident was purely a case of reaping what one sows!

“Uncle, could you think of a way to find someone to help?” Qian Yulin added, “Qingge was just taken away by the police. She’s just a girl; she can’t stay in such a place…”

“Sister-in-law, how can you be so confused?”

Qian Yulin looked at him, feeling extremely distressed, “Minyan, do you also think it’s my fault? But Qingge and Huanhuan are both my daughters, I never intended to be biased towards any of them…”

Shi Minyan spoke earnestly, “Let me make it clear to you now that Luoluo has nothing to do with Qingge; she is Huanhuan’s biological daughter. It was with my consent that Tu Youran went to the hospital to bring the child back home to care for.”

“But…” Qian Yulin looked at him in astonishment, “Qingge said that Huanhuan’s child was already dead when she gave birth, that Luoluo was her child, and that she could go do a paternity test… That’s what you all told me back then, so I thought Luoluo was Qingge’s daughter…”

“I don’t know why Qingge would tell such a lie, but I’m the one involved in this matter, so I have the most right to speak. If you still don’t believe me, I can take you to the obstetrician who was responsible for the delivery. Luoluo was taken away by me and Tu Youran right after her birth. As for the paternity test…” Shi Minyan sighed, “Huanhuan and Luoluo had already had one done back then, and their DNA was a nearly perfect match. Why won’t you trust scientific evidence? Instead, you believe Qingge’s one-sided story?”

“I…” Qian Yulin swayed and almost couldn’t believe it.

Shi Minyan continued, “Sister-in-law, talk to Qingge properly when you get a chance. Huanhuan is now married to Chu Xiuhuang. She has paid a lot for our family and suffered a lot. You really shouldn’t disturb her peaceful life anymore. From now on… let’s all just live our separate lives.”

The implication of these words was clear.

Qian Yulin was not oblivious to this reasoning.

In fact, ever since Shi Huan and Chu Xiuhuang got their marriage certificate, she had no face to trouble Shi Huan again, and the families had hardly any contact. This incident wouldn’t have happened if not for Shi Qingge’s sudden return, claiming that Luoluo was her child, causing her momentary confusion…

“Sister-in-law,” Shi Minyan spoke gravely, “I’m not reminding you, I’m warning you. Today the Chu family managed to send Qingge to the police station, and tomorrow they might do something even more dreadful. The Chu family has never regarded us as in-laws. Qingge has just returned to the country, and you don’t want her to suffer any more misfortune, do you?”

Of course, Qian Yulin didn’t want that.

“Call Huanhuan,” Shi Minyan said again, “Although Chu Xiuhuang is ruthless in his actions, thankfully, Huanhuan is his wife, the mother of his children.”

Qian Yulin nodded hastily, “I understand.”

She took out her phone and began to call Shi Huan.

Shi Minyan sat down nearby, quietly waiting for the rescue to be over.

The phone rang several times before being answered. Qian Yulin hastily called out, “Huanhuan, your sister has been taken away by the police. Please think of something; she really didn’t mean to push you…”

“Is that what she told you?” Shi Huan retorted.

“Huanhuan, Qingge is your biological sister. Although you only lived together for a few years, how could she possibly push you? She’s not that kind of person…”

“Mom,” Shi Huan interrupted her, “The first thing you do when you call is to plead for her, have you forgotten that I was just pushed down the stairs by her and got injured?”

“I… I was just too anxious,” Qian Yulin’s expression was contorted as she quickly asked, “Huanhuan, are you okay? What did the doctor say?”

“There’s no need to explain.” Shi Huan’s tone was cold, “Over the years, I should have gotten used to it. After all, I drifted outside for over a decade before coming back to the Shi Family; it’s only natural that you don’t have much affection for me as a daughter.”

“No, it’s not like that. Huanhuan, you and Qingge are both my biological daughters. How could I possibly lack affection for you? Both the palm and back of the hand are flesh…”

“You’re right, both the palm and back of the hand are flesh, but maybe I’m just the back of the hand, while my sister is the palm. When people face danger, they subconsciously choose to clench their hands, protecting the palm and exposing the back of the hand to shield themselves from harm…”

“Huanhuan.” Tears streamed down Qian Yulin’s face. “Don’t say that, I’ve never thought that way…”

“It doesn’t matter anymore.” Shi Huan’s voice was calm, “I’ve just woken up and my head still hurts; the doctor also told me to rest more. I won’t talk anymore. Goodbye.”

With that, the call was disconnected.

Qian Yulin held onto her phone, sobbing uncontrollably.

Shi Minyan remained silent nearby.

Although he didn’t hear the specific conversation, he overheard enough to understand the gist.

**

Elsewhere, Chu Xiuhuang’s car had only reached halfway when he received a call from Nangong Ci.

“Brother,” Nangong Ci exclaimed, “Sister-in-law has woken up!”

The fingers gripping the steering wheel suddenly tensed, and Chu Xiuhuang said, “I’m coming back right now.”

“Second Brother, Second Sister-in-Law, she…”

Nangong Ci wanted to say something else, but the call had already been disconnected.

Less than 10 minutes later, Chu Xiuhuang’s car was back at Nangong Hospital.

After getting out of the car, he strode forward, walking briskly while quickly dialing a number.

Inside the ward, everyone was present.

Aside from Huo Jingshen, Su Wanwan, and Nangong Ci, Lu Chenyu had also received the news and rushed over.

As soon as Chu Xiuhuang entered, all eyes immediately turned toward him.

But because he was in such a hurry, Chu Xiuhuang didn’t pay any attention to the gazes of others and headed straight for the hospital bed.

“Huanhuan!”

Shi Huan had already sat up, wearing the hospital’s patient attire, her shoulder-length curly hair loosely draping down, her complexion somewhat pale. Apart from a bandage on her forehead, she looked relatively well.

Chu Xiuhuang also sighed with relief, and as he sat down by the bed, he immediately grabbed Shi Huan’s arm, “When did you wake up? What did the doctor say? Does your head still hurt? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?”

His tone was urgent, the concern in his eyes unmistakable.

Shi Huan, however, appeared calm, blinking her eyes.

Then,

“Chu Shao? Are you okay?”

Chu Xiuhuang was taken aback.

“Chu Shao?” Shi Huan blinked again, “What’s wrong with you?”

Chu Xiuhuang had completely turned to stone.

Chu Shao?

That was the title Shi Huan used to call him, starting from when she began working with him. She had called him that for over five years until they got married when she had started calling him “Axiu.” To suddenly hear this long-lost nickname now…

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say Chu Xiuhuang felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, chilling him to the core, both body and mind.

To the side, Su Wanwan seemed to be explaining, “Huanhuan just woke up, and she seems to have a bit of memory confusion. She forgot everything that happened recently, but don’t worry, the doctor just said she will definitely recover, so don’t be too sad…”

Having his suspicions confirmed, Chu Xiuhuang’s face grew even darker.

He looked at Shi Huan.

Just five months ago, she was diagnosed with amnesia upon waking up, just like now…

But at that time, the doctor explained it was because those memories were too painful, so the brain subconsciously chose to forget.

So what about now? Was their marital life over these past few months also that painful?

Otherwise, why would she lose those memories as well?

“Dr. Liu is here,” Nangong Ci hastily spoke up, “Please share the examination results, and quickly.”

The suddenly summoned Dr. Liu, feeling quite helpless, could only step forward to explain, “The patient sustained a blow to the head and does not remember how she got injured upon waking up, but we haven’t found anything abnormal otherwise…”

Under immense pressure, he articulated each word, “So we can preliminarily diagnose it as selective amnesia. Don’t stir the patient’s emotions during this period, ensure she has a quiet recuperation, and she might remember in time.”

“Alright, alright.” Seeing Chu Xiuhuang’s increasingly grim expression, Nangong Ci said, “You may go now.”

“Thank you, Deputy Director,” Dr. Liu turned and ran off.

It was not good for him to stay here any longer.

It was odd, though, how falling down could cause someone to remember past events yet forget recent memories?

How strange!

But the human brain is inherently complex. Although it was hard to believe, there had been such medical cases before; it just remained an unsolved mystery…

After Dr. Liu left, the ward fell into a dead silence.

Each person’s expression was a little meaningful, except for Huo Jingshen, who had remained impassive from beginning to end.

Chu Xiuhuang still sat there without moving.

Although his facial expression seemed calm, his retracted hands, resting on the mattress, were tightly clenched into fists, revealing the turmoil within him.

Nangong Ci first looked at Su Wanwan.

She withdrew her gaze and cleared her throat twice.

So he turned to look at Huo Jingshen.

Expressionless.

He then turned to Lu Chenyu.

Still expressionless…

In the end, it was Shi Huan on the bed who spoke first, “What did Dr. Liu mean just now? How did I get hurt?”

Chu Xiuhuang said nothing.

Su Wanwan could only explain, “You were talking with your sister at the Chu Family’s gate, then you fell down the steps, hitting your head on the ground…”

“My sister?” Shi Huan tilted her head, her expression filled with confusion, “Isn’t she studying in France? When did she come back?”

“She has returned to the country; we even ran into her this morning at breakfast, and then she went to the Chu Family. But don’t worry, she has already been taken to the police station.”

“Why was she taken to the police station?”

“Surveillance footage revealed that she intentionally pushed you from behind…”

“Why would she push me?”

Su Wanwan looked perplexed, “She claims that Luoluo is her child…”

“That’s not true,” Shi Huan immediately said, “Five years ago, my sister never got pregnant. It was me who was pregnant, but my child died soon after birth. Luoluo should be my uncle and aunt’s child…”

Su Wanwan: “…”

She glanced at Chu Xiuhuang.

Sure enough, his face was as frosty as the ice in December.

Exceptionally cold.

“Xiuhuang, are you angry?”

Chu Xiuhuang stood up abruptly, “Mistress, do you have a cigarette?”

“Yes.”

Chu Xiuhuang extended his hand.

“It’s in the upstairs office.”

Chu Xiuhuang: “…”

He held back and said, “Chenyu, do you have a cigarette?”

Lu Chenyu: “In the car.”

Chu Xiuhuang turned and walked outside.

Nangong Ci hurriedly stepped forward to grab him, “Second brother, where are you going?”

Chu Xiuhuang said, “To buy cigarettes.”

“But…”

“Wait a moment.” Shi Huan’s voice rang out.

Chu Xiuhuang stopped in his tracks.

“You’re going to buy cigarettes?” Shi Huan asked.

Chu Xiuhuang responded with a grunt, without turning his head.

He was indeed extremely irritable inside.

He had never imagined that Shi Huan would forget their four months of married life.

He found it somewhat hard to accept…

Of course, he couldn’t possibly do anything to Shi Huan, but not smoking was truly suffocating him.

Shi Huan said, “Didn’t you promise me that you would quit smoking?”

“Just one…”

Chu Xiuhuang spoke, then suddenly his thin lips clamped shut.

Then, he slowly turned around to look at the woman on the hospital bed, “You’re saying… I promised you I would quit smoking?”

“Yeah,” Shi Huan nodded, “Didn’t you say that secondhand smoke is bad for me and bad for Luoluo, that you haven’t been smoking much for a long time? Or… have you actually been secretly smoking? You lied to me!”

Chu Xiuhuang charged over.

The swiftness of his movement made the expressions of everyone else change instantly.

But upon reaching her, Chu Xiuhuang stopped.

After all, there was still a little reason left.

“You don’t have amnesia?”

Shi Huan didn’t speak but actively extended both hands.

When Chu Xiuhuang approached, she directly grabbed his hand, making him sit beside the bed, leaned her body towards him, turned her face, and nearly whispered in his ear, “Husband.”

The tender call of “Husband” made Chu Xiuhuang’s entire body tremble.

Nangong Ci let out a snort of laughter.

At this point, if Chu Xiuhuang still couldn’t understand what was going on, then he was really too slow.

His handsome face cold, he turned to look back at everyone, “Do you guys have a death wish?”

Damn!

They actually dared to band together to deceive him…

Shi Huan quickly grabbed him, “Don’t be angry…”

“Sister-in-law, it was your idea, right?” Chu Xiuhuang had already started to accuse, “On purpose using the time when I was away to coax Huanhuan into acting to deceive me, really set on fooling me, right?”

“I didn’t!” Su Wanwan was wronged.

Nangong Ci also spoke up, “Second brother, you’re really wronging sister-in-law with that accusation…”

“Oh?” Chu Xiuhuang’s phoenix eyes narrowed as he glanced sideways at him, “So it was you? Itching for a beating, aren’t you?”

Nangong Ci’s peach blossom face darkened, “Second brother, so this is how you see me! Am I that boring? Am I the kind of person who likes to play pranks?”

“Otherwise?”

“It wasn’t me, really not me, it was…”

“The fourth brother?” Chu Xiuhuang immediately looked at the always silent and expressionless guy, “Are you f*cking asking for death?”

Lu Chenyu showed no expression, and without any nonsense, he threw out three words, “It was Big Bro.”

Everyone: “…”

Chu Xiuhuang looked towards Huo Jingshen, “…”

Huo Jingshen had always been the spokesperson for calm and composure; since they were little, he was the oldest among these people and the one who acted beyond his years the most. Pranks and such… never were in his dictionary.

Chu Xiuhuang felt somewhat disillusioned.

Could it be because just now he let his little sister-in-law take care of Huanhuan here?

However, Huo Jingshen merely raised his eyebrows slightly, “Let’s go.”

Su Wanwan’s hand was held by him and she could only wave her hand before being taken away.

“Second brother, then I won’t disturb your sweet moments with the second sister-in-law, I’ll head back to the office first,” Nangong Ci hastily followed suit and left.

Finally, it was Lu Chenyu’s turn.

He pushed his glasses up, “Congratulations.”

After speaking, he turned and left.

He even considerately closed the door behind him.

Chu Xiuhuang clenched his fists, then gritted his molars and before he could speak…

Suddenly, two soft little hands appeared on his cheeks, and his face was turned around by those hands.

Chu Xiuhuang was slightly surprised.

Before he could react, Shi Huan’s face had already come closer.

She closed her eyes and kissed him directly on the lips.

Chu Xiuhuang: “…”

Flattered!

In all the time they had known each other, Shi Huan had always been cool and composed. Even after they were married, it was always him pestering her in various ways, and when he had no other choice, Shi Huan would take the initiative to kiss him briefly.

It was usually a fleeting peck, as brief as a dragonfly skimming the water.

But today!

She actually didn’t need him to speak at all and took the initiative to kiss him, and she was so gentle and passionate…

Chu Xiuhuang felt a surge of excitement. After a moment of surprise, he wrapped his arms around her slender waist, his movements fierce as he went from passive to aggressive.

The hospital room returned to quiet.

Except for the man’s and woman’s… slightly ambiguous sounds, there was nothing else.

Outside the window, the sun shone brilliantly, the sky was cloudless, the afternoon in July was peaceful yet intensely hot, much like Chu Xiuhuang’s mood at the moment…

Who knows how long it passed, eventually it was Shi Huan who really couldn’t catch her breath and had to push him away.

Only then did Chu Xiuhuang reluctantly pull away.

But…

Because the kiss had been too intense, Shi Huan’s lips were swollen, her eyes were hazy, and she was slightly panting.

Chu Xiuhuang also took a deep breath, then immediately hugged her again, “Why suddenly so passionate?”

Shi Huan’s cheeks were red, and before she could speak…

“Are you trying to make amends for a past mistake, hmm?” Chu Xiuhuang said, and couldn’t resist bowing his head to peck at her swollen lips.

The moment he touched that soft and fragrant sensation…

Chu Xiuhuang’s arms tightened, and without any care, he kissed her deeply once again.

Shi Huan: “…”

Indeed, this man was not someone to be casually provoked…

After nearly 10 minutes, she was finally released.

Her face was flushed, her lips swollen and tingling, matched with her curly tousled shoulder-length hair, bright eyes, white teeth; she looked stunningly beautiful…

Chu Xiuhuang’s eyes darkened and with great effort, he suppressed the urge to kiss her wildly again, “Wife, I want you…”

Shi Huan: “…”

Ahem.

She quickly pushed him away, “We’re at the hospital.”

Chu Xiuhuang of course knew they were in a hospital. He squeezed her slender waist with his large hand and his voice, now husky from passion, was incredibly soft and seductive, “So, have you remembered everything from before?”

Shi Huan nodded.
