When Wen Xian woke up, the first thing she saw was not Shen Lingge, but a beautiful unfamiliar woman. She looked around forty years old, long hair slightly curled, features delicate, wearing elegant light makeup, lipstick was gentle bean paste color.
This woman seemed vaguely somewhat familiar.
Seeing Wen Xian wake up, Song Mingxi immediately bent over, leaned close to her side, softly said: “Xian Xian, I am Shen Lingge’s mom. You can call me mama, calling me Aunt Ming is also okay. Mama came to see you, do you have anywhere uncomfortable?”
Wen Xian: “……”
Wen Xian originally still had some muddled brain, but after hearing Song Mingxi’s words she immediately became clear-headed.
She, as if being frightened, covered her own eyes and hid back under the blanket: “Auntie, I don’t look good right now, I actually don’t look like this.”
At the doorway, Shen Lingge suddenly, without warning, heard this sentence: “……”
He helplessly pressed his forehead, this little girl really does care about these things that may or may not matter.
But Song Mingxi couldn’t hold back a light laugh, this little girl was too interesting, also good-looking, personality also cute. At this moment she somewhat suspected whether Shen Lingge had stepped on dog shit luck to be able to find such a girlfriend.
Shen Lingge entered the room, walked to the bedside, he glanced at Wen Xian curled up inside the blanket unwilling to come out: “Mom, you scared her. Xian Xian, come out, hiding is no use.”
Wen Xian: “…….”
Wen Xian twisted and hesitated for quite a while before cautiously poking her head out from the blanket, she looked at Song Mingxi and softly called: “Aunt Ming.”
Song Mingxi looked at Wen Xian’s red-faced appearance, laughed and said: “I still like you calling me mama.”
Wen Xian paused, then immediately looked at Shen Lingge as if seeking help.
Shen Lingge lightly coughed: “Mom, Xian Xian needs to go for checkup.”
Only then did Song Mingxi step aside, she smilingly looked at Wen Xian: “After the checkup come back, mama will feed you breakfast, I woke up early in the morning to personally make it for you. Lingge this child just likes eating what I cook.”
Shen Lingge: “……”
Not to say, his mom’s cooking skills for decades were as always, skill level stable like the rising and setting of the sun. He really didn’t dare let Wen Xian eat what his mom made, he was momentarily a little headache.
But right now, taking Wen Xian to do checkup was more important, Shen Lingge held Wen Xian’s hand following behind the nurse walking outside. He tilted his head asking: “Tired or not? Do you want me to carry you?”
Wen Xian shook her head: “Not tired.”
When Wen Xian was doing checkup, Shen Lingge kept accompanying her, except for the parts he couldn’t go in, he basically followed Wen Xian step by step without leaving. After Wen Xian finished the checkup, he carried Wen Xian and walked back to the hospital room.
Along the way, people came and went, but most people walked in haste, almost no one had a smile on their face, more were patients with worried faces.
Wen Xian watched for a while then lowered her eyes quietly leaning against Shen Lingge’s chest, she had always disliked hospitals, from when she was little she already knew, hospitals were always full of partings and tears.
After returning again to the hospital room, Wen Xian’s mood became somewhat better, but Shen Lingge was now troubled.
At this time, on the small table by the bed were placed two thermal lunch boxes, one was sent by Duoduo, another was brought by his mom. After hesitating for a moment, Shen Lingge made a decision.
Shen Lingge first picked up the breakfast his mom made, trying his best to make his tone sound natural: “Mom, I haven’t eaten your breakfast for a long time, today is a rare chance…”
Before the sentence was even finished Shen Lingge got hit, Song Mingxi fiercely slapped his shoulder: “You child, what’s wrong with you? I specially made it for Xian Xian to eat, even food you fight with wife over, do you count as a man or not!”
Shen Lingge: “……”
Wen Xian: “……”
Shen Lingge had no other way, picked up the thermal lunch box and just walked out, after Duoduo at the door received Shen Lingge’s eye signal, she quickly slipped into the room, then shrank in the corner trying her best to reduce her sense of existence.
Song Mingxi forced a smile towards Wen Xian: “Xian Xian, mama will go teach him a lesson for you.”
After speaking, Song Mingxi chased out.
And Duoduo quickly rushed to Wen Xian’s bedside, she opened the thermal lunch box she brought, urgently said to Wen Xian: “Miss, quickly eat breakfast, if late it won’t be in time.”
Wen Xian watched for a long time and still didn’t understand: “…What is up with you all?”
Duoduo’s tone was mysterious: “The food madam makes, only mister and young master can eat it. Miss, if you eat it today, you can forget about being discharged from hospital these two days.”
Wen Xian: “……”
She quickly sat up: “I’ll eat right now!”
Outside the hospital room.
Song Mingxi frowned teaching Shen Lingge: “Lingge, from when you were little, how did mama teach you! Even if you want to eat mama’s cooking no matter how much, you can’t at this time fight with Xian Xian.”
Seeing Shen Lingge’s silent expression, she softened her tone: “If you really want to eat, in the future you come home every day to eat, mama will cook for you every day. But for now just endure it, mama has to think about Xian Xian first.”
Shen Lingge: “……….”
Shen Lingge calmed down for quite a while before saying: “Mom, after I go back and finish handling Shen Group’s matters, I’ll just stay in Licheng from now on. Xian Xian is here alone, I can’t feel at ease.”
Song Mingxi was stunned: “Xian Xian is unwilling to go with you to Mingcheng? Your dad and I will treat her well, once she arrives in Mingcheng we will only treat her better, no one can bully her.”
Shen Lingge spoke in a low voice: “It’s not because of this, she can’t bear to leave her dad and mom. Four years ago Wen Tianlin passed away, Wen Group went bankrupt, from then on Wen family’s people all gradually left Licheng, now she’s the only one staying here.”
His face carried obvious heartache: “She can’t let her dad and mom be lonely in Licheng.”
Song Mingxi hadn’t expected Wen Xian to be Wen Tianlin’s daughter. The upheaval four years ago she and Shen Rongsheng had once sighed about, such a big corporation actually was supported by just Wen Tianlin alone.
Her tone paused slightly: “Then how has she gotten through these years?”
Shen Lingge lightly said: “Gotten through alone.”
Song Mingxi frowned asking: “This child doesn’t have other relatives?”
Does Wen Xian have family? Chang Ligu’s whole family was her family, but according to the current investigation results, Wen Xian has no family, ever since Wen Tianlin and Chang Shuang passed away.
There was only her left, all alone.
So Shen Lingge very lightly shook his head: “Before, no. Now, yes. From now on, I am her family.”
Song Mingxi dazedly looked at her own son. He had clearly already used his heart deeply; this decision wasn’t made only today. He should have already thought about it for a long time before this.
She thought for a while before saying: “Regarding Shen Group’s matters, I’ll go back and discuss with your dad. If you’ve really thought it over and want to stay in Licheng from now on, then stay. Occasionally bring Xian Xian back to visit us, that’s good enough.”
Shen Lingge’s Adam’s apple moved slightly: “Thank you, mom.”
Song Mingxi glared at him: “Saying thank you to mom for what.”
This conversation over, Song Mingxi finally forgot about the breakfast matter. When she went back to see Wen Xian, Wen Xian had already finished eating breakfast. The thing weighing on Shen Lingge’s mind also relaxed.
He didn’t have to worry about her not being able to leave the hospital these two days.
—
In the afternoon, after the checkup report came out, Shen Lingge agreed to let Wen Xian be discharged from hospital. Wen Xian for a while was so excited she didn’t even want to take a nap, but she had just gotten excited for a little while before becoming quiet as a chicken again.
Because in the afternoon it was Shen Rongsheng personally coming to pick her up from hospital discharge, Wen Xian hid behind Shen Lingge, poked her head out and called once: “Uncle.”
Shen Rongsheng smiled at her, spoke in a warm voice: “Uncle will send you home. If being together with Lingge, he bullies you, you just go ahead and tell your mom… tell your Aunt Ming.”
Wen Xian very reservedly nodded.
After getting in the car, Song Mingxi began nagging about what kind of dishes to make tonight to nourish Wen Xian. Upon hearing this, both Shen Lingge and Shen Rongsheng’s expressions stiffened, Wen Xian also nervously grabbed onto Shen Lingge’s hand.
Shen Rongsheng glanced at Shen Lingge through the rearview mirror, he lightly coughed once and said: “Xian Xian grew up in Licheng, maybe she’s not used to our Mingcheng cuisine. Recently, you don’t need to bother.”
Song Mingxi slapped her forehead: “I forgot this matter.”
She turned her head, face carrying apology, and said to Wen Xian: “Xian Xian, mama will definitely properly learn Licheng dishes this time when I go back, next time I’ll make them for you. Your dad and Lingge both love eating what I cook.”
Wen Xian blinked her eyes, softly responded: “Thank you, Aunt Ming.”
On this side, Wen Xian was discharged, but Xu Chuwei was still trapped in Qin Zan’s private villa. The Xu family came knocking but couldn’t see Xu Chuwei, recently they simply went to the Qin family to look for Qin Huai.
Qin Huai for a moment couldn’t guess Qin Zan’s intentions, only said he would personally go ask.
—-
Qin Zan’s private villa.
When Qin Huai arrived at the villa, he didn’t see Qin Zan, only saw Xu Chuwei and Qin Song sitting in the living room. Xu Chuwei had been trapped here for one day and one night already, her face looking very bad.
And Qin Song was holding a phone playing games.
Qin Huai swept a glance at the living room situation, he lightly coughed once, then used his cane to knock on the floor. Qin Song lifted his eyes to look at his grandfather, he quickly put away his phone, innocently said: “Grandpa, big brother let me come, I don’t know anything.”
Qin Huai glared at him once, then softened his tone: “Chuwei, this matter grandpa knows you’ve been wronged. Regarding Qin Zan, I will definitely go teach him a lesson…”
His words hadn’t finished before being interrupted by Xu Chuwei. She tiredly rubbed her own brow, tone impatient: “Grandpa Qin, right now I just want to leave, I don’t know why Qin Zan locked me up here.”
Qin Huai chuckled once: “How is it locking up, isn’t A’Zan inviting you to be a guest? Even specially found A’Song to accompany you.”
Xu Chuwei felt her temple throbbing. She finally realized, Qin family people, one was more shameless than the other. Back then just why did she fancy Qin Song, even made Qin Song and Wen Xian’s marriage fall through.
Qin Zan returned to the villa at five in the afternoon, together with him were also police.
Xu Chuwei, seeing this, felt slightly panicked, but immediately calmed herself down. She consoled herself, she had never met those people, they couldn’t possibly know her real identity.
But the police came forward directly and held Xu Chuwei. She coldly shouted: “What are you doing?”
The police said indifferently: “Miss Xu, we suspect you are involved in the Wen Xian kidnapping case. Please come with us to assist investigation.”
Xu Chuwei bit her lip, her face expressionless said: “I want to see my lawyer.”
After Xu Chuwei was taken away by police, Qin Song leaned in close to Qin Zan and asked: “Brother, you found the evidence?”
Qin Zan didn’t look at him, only stared at the already empty main door and said: “Sent by Shen Lingge. That teacher in Xian Xian’s art studio, wholeheartedly wanting to climb into wealth and power, she didn’t believe just a phone call, so she met with Xu Chuwei.”
Qin Song sighed: “I didn’t know Xu Chuwei hated Xian Xian this much.”
Qin Zan glanced at him: “What do you know about anything?”
Qin Song: “……”
After a short while, the sound of police sirens gradually rang out.
