Chapter 107: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind

Su Qingming's sudden appearance left everyone present stunned on the spot.

Zhang Qian's eyes were about to burst; he wanted to kill Su Xiyan to make Yan Moci suffer unbearably, but absolutely not now!

Now that Su Xiyan is dead, how can he still use her to threaten Yan Moci, and how can he escape?

But the situation has escalated to this point, already drawing the attention of the hospital security.

"What are you doing!"

Security suddenly appeared; Zhang Qian gritted his teeth fiercely, not bothering with the still-bleeding Su Xiyan, and turned and ran.

Su Qingming never expected that, having just arrived, he would actually encounter such a windfall—killing two birds with one stone: he could eliminate Su Xiyan, this calamity, and push all the blame onto someone else!

Seeing the security running over, Su Qingming immediately pretended to support Su Xiyan, but actually intended to stab her again, hoping she would die completely!

As the security was about to reach him, Su Qingming hesitated not, and was about to bring down the knife fiercely.

Unexpectedly, the Li Xiu Fen who had been unconscious on one side suddenly woke up, throwing her whole body toward Su Qingming.

Su Qingming, caught off guard, was about to draw his knife, but due to such force, the knife went straight into his own chest.

In an instant blood spurted out; after Su Qingming coughed up two mouthfuls of blood forcefully, he fell silent.

Li Xiu Fen, though grief-stricken, had long lost all hope in this son; she herself was utterly weak, only able to totter over to Su Xiyan.

"Yan Yan, Yan Yan, are you alright?"

She shouted for a while, but heard no response from Su Xiyan.

At this moment, the security had arrived before them; looking at the scene before him, he retreated a step, uncertain.

After a good while, he finally reacted and shouted loudly: "Ambulance! Call an ambulance quickly!"

He suddenly realized this was in the hospital; he immediately took out his walkie-talkie and shouted: "Come quickly! The eldest daughter-in-law has met with an accident! Bring a doctor fast!"

By the time he finished shouting and went to look at Su Xiyan, he found that besides the already-breathless Su Qingming, there was no one else present.

The security guard's eyes instantly filled with utter horror: "What on earth is going on!"

Zhang Qian had originally intended to flee alone, but because of the security's shouting, the whole hospital had been placed on lockdown, forcing him to turn back.

Seeing the elderly woman who had suddenly awakened and the breathless Su Xiyan, he simply decided to take them all away.

Fortunately, the stab Su Qingming dealt did not pierce Su Xiyan's heart; it appears she won't die anytime soon.

Zhang Qian could only pray that this "get-out-of-jail-free" card of Su Xiyan would hold out until he could escape alive.

Li Xiu Fen didn't know why she had awakened to face such a scene; she trembled, daring not to move.

Suddenly, she felt someone lightly tug at her finger.

Li Xiu Fen and Su Xiyan had lived together for many years, and had long developed an unspoken understanding.

Whenever Su Xiyan had an idea, she would tug Li Xiu Fen like this.

She immediately responded without showing any reaction, deliberately letting out an "aiyo".

Zhang Qian immediately shouted angrily: "Shut up! You old immortal, if you make a sound again I'll kill you right away."

Su Xiyan had already sealed several of her major acupoints before Su Qingming stabbed her; fortunately, her bleeding remained relatively stable.

But thinking of the child in her belly, Su Xiyan knew she must receive immediate treatment, otherwise the odds were grim.

Su Xiyan was unsure whether Zhang Qian had any other accomplices; Yan Moci's recent crackdown had been massive, many people had been punished by him, and those bearing grudges were certainly not few.

Su Xiyan furtively opened Yan Moci's contact method to seek his help, but instead, her trembling hand accidentally opened his Moments.

Yan Moci's Moments had always been blank, but now there, conspicuously, was a silhouette of him celebrating a birthday together with someone else.

Su Xiyan could tell just from the silhouette that the person was Su Yimeng.

A dull pain in her chest instantly spread, and Su Xiyan's vision went white.

She kept telling herself, "No, no, Yan Moci wouldn't do this to her; something must have happened."

Perhaps it was Su Yimeng's trick—she had taken Yan Moci's phone and deliberately staged and posted such a photo.

But Su Xiyan clearly knew Yan Moci should be working in his office now; why would he be meeting Su Yimeng?

Yan Moci had clearly said he would have no further involvement with Su Yimeng; why did such an intimate photo of them suddenly surface?

【I hope that for every birthday to come, I can spend it with you, Meng.】

From now on, every birthday—today is also her birthday—so what does that make her?

And what about that child?

She and the child, together with her grandmother, have been experiencing life and death here, struggling to survive, while he is holding warm fragrance and soft jade in his arms.

Clearly, it was Yan Moci himself who told her to bear him a child.

Heaven knows, for someone like her who has lacked a sense of security since childhood and fears forming intimate bonds, just how great the difficulty she overcame to resolve to try accepting a new life.

Countless thoughts flashed through Su Xiyan's mind in an instant, but now she is not allowed to dwell on them.

She can only force herself to steady her heart and mind.

Considering that Yan Moci's phone might have fallen into someone else's hands, she did not rashly send him a distress message.

Taking advantage of the moment when Zhang Qian's energy was diverted by the grandmother, she directly called Yan Moci.

But the voice coming from the other end instantly made her think.

"Miss Su, you wouldn't be so petty as to not allow Moci to spend a birthday with me, would you?"

Su Xiyan abruptly hung up the phone.

The next second, her eyes as if chilled with ice, she without hesitation drew out a silver needle and directly killed Zhang Qian, who was threatening the grandmother with a knife.

Seeing Su Xiyan kill someone, Li Xiu Fen let out a short gasp.

But she was more worried about Su Xiyan's condition: "Yan Yan, are you alright?"

Su Xiyan calmly shook her head, turned her head to look at Li Xiu Fen and said:

"Grandma, will you blame me?"

"Because of me, I caused you to lose a son."

Li Xiu Fen shook her head repeatedly, "Silly girl, how could Grandma blame you?"

You and Grandma have relied on each other since you were little; Grandma always knows how filial and sensible you are.

It's this unjust world that's unfair to you! It's Su Qingming, that scoundrel, who's not even human!

Su Xiyan gave a bitter smile. Yeah, it's this unjust world that's unfair to her.

She thought she had found true love, but she never expected that Yan Moci would still let her down.

She was clearly always rational, yet in the end she still drowned in Yan Moci's honeyed words.

He had warned her from the beginning, telling her never to fall for him.

He said, "This is nothing more than a contract."

Looking back now, he never told her he loved her, nor did he ever mention giving her a real home.

It's her own fault.

This love contract was her utter defeat.

She gave a sad smile, and Su Xiyan finally shed tears, speaking softly:

"Grandma, I want to leave."

"Grandma, will you take me with you? I never want to come back."

"My heart hurts so much."

Li Xiu Fen had never seen Su Xiyan in such anguish; she nodded heavily,

"Okay, Grandma will take you with me!"

But just as Li Xiu Fen finished speaking, the car door was suddenly opened from outside.

And from outside the door came Yan Fanqing's devilish voice:

"Both of you, sorry to disturb you. I'll have to trouble you to go with me to a place."
