Chapter 1718: Can't You Just Give Up On Him?

~8 min read 1,427 words

Jiang Motian was sitting right next to Li Moning's hospital bed at this moment.

Because Li Moning had suffered a heavy blow to the head, she had not yet woken up.

As for when she would wake up...

The doctor was also unable to give an accurate time.

Jiang Motian gripped Li Moning's hand sadly, her eyes turning red: "Why did something like this have to happen..."

Xiaoshi was standing right behind Jiang Motian.

Seeing Jiang Motian's fragile appearance, he could not help but show pity.

But he did not forget to take the opportunity to step on Xie Wanyi: "It's all Xie Wanyi's fault, otherwise Momo wouldn't have to suffer like this!"

Jiang Motian did not respond.

Because she was sitting with her back to Xiaoshi, Xiaoshi could not see what kind of expression she had at the moment.

But adding a few more stabs was definitely the right thing to do!

Xiaoshi continued to disparage Xie Wanyi: "You can know a person's face but not their heart! On the surface, he's a gentleman, but behind the scenes, he's actually so filthy!"

"Alright, stop talking! Momo definitely wouldn't want to hear these things!"

When Jiang Motian said this, she was choking back sobs.

Xiaoshi could not bear to see her sad, so he quickly said: "Fine, I won't say anymore, and you stop crying too, okay?"

As his voice fell, Xiaoshi even wanted to give Jiang Motian a hug.

But Jiang Motian stood up.

She walked to the window, turned her back to Xiaoshi, and said: "I... don't want people to see me crying."

Xiaoshi did not go up to her again; he just stood where he was, quietly watching Jiang Motian's thin figure.

He also could not bear to let Jiang Motian be sad.

But the pain at this moment was all for the sake of the future!

So... just endure it a little longer!

Xiaoshi stared straight at Jiang Motian.

In his eyes, there was madness.

But as the sound of a door opening rang out, Xiaoshi hid all his emotions almost in an instant.

Li Beijue, in the next room, had taken his medicine and fallen asleep.

Jiang Baobao then came over with exhaustion to check on her daughter's condition.

But what she did not expect was that in the short time she had been away, Xiaoshi had come to the hospital room.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Jiang Baobao greeted him: "How did Xiaoshi come here?"

"I called Tiantian, and then I found out about this... Auntie, please accept my condolences."

These words made Jiang Baobao feel displeased.

She thought to herself that her daughter only had superficial injuries, so why did he make it sound as if... she wouldn't recover?

But Jiang Baobao was an elder after all, and she would not bicker with a younger person over this small issue.

Once her brow smoothed out, Jiang Baobao said tactfully: "Thank you for coming to visit Momo, but you are also very busy with work, so go back first."

"It's okay, I've already asked for leave."

"But Momo needs to rest quietly."

"I will stay quiet and not talk nonsense."

"But staying here all the time is quite boring."

"It won't be boring; with Tiantian here, how could it be boring."

Today's Xiaoshi was a complete change from his usual timid self.

Not only did he dare to look Jiang Baobao in the eyes, but he was also very bold in expressing his thoughts.

He even turned a blind eye to the hints in Jiang Baobao's words.

Jiang Baobao glanced at Xiaoshi and then said nothing more.

For a time, the room fell into silence.

The three of them did not speak.

But this did not mean they did not want to speak; rather... they were all waiting for an opportunity.

Very soon, the opportunity appeared.

Li Xingyan returned from the police station, his face as dark as could be.

One could tell from his expression that his mood at this moment was terrible.

Upon discovering that Xiaoshi was also there, his mood became even worse.

He opened his mouth and questioned him very impolitely: "What are you doing here?"

"I want to keep Tiantian company."

"Not necessary, please leave."

Li Xingyan was not one to be tactful; he said whatever he thought, directly and bluntly.

For this, Jiang Baobao had scolded Li Xingyan more than once.

But at this moment, Jiang Baobao only felt that her son had done a great job!

As for Xiaoshi...

He dared to be angry but dared not speak.

As for Xiaoshi……

He dared to be angry but dared not speak.

This Li Xingyan is not the same as Jiang Baobao.

If he gets angry, he really might throw Xiaoshi out of the hospital room!

But Xiaoshi was unwilling to listen to his control, so he called out: "Tiantian..."

Before Xiaoshi could finish his sentence, Li Xingyan impatiently interrupted: "Why are you calling her? Can't you see she's already very upset!"

"I can..."

"You can what? Are you trying to say that your existence can help her solve her troubles? Then you think too highly of yourself!"

Li Xingyan's mouth was just like a machine gun.

Once he found a target, he would just keep firing away.

Facing this kind of Li Xingyan, Xiaoshi had absolutely no ability to parry.

Thinking it over, he could only shift the blame: "If you have time to scold me, why don't you deal with Xie Wanyi?"

As soon as these words left his mouth, the air in the hospital room suddenly became very stiff.

Then, the look in Li Xingyan's eyes as he stared at Xiaoshi was almost enough to kill!

Xiaoshi felt fear in his heart.

But he knew that at this moment, he absolutely could not back down!

So he bit the bullet and said: "Or are you only brave enough to deal with a small character like me who has no power or influence, and as soon as you run into Xie Wanyi, you turn into a coward?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt it was difficult to breathe!

It turned out that Li Xingyan had grabbed Xiaoshi's throat with a fierce expression!

Jiang Baobao really couldn't watch anymore and scolded: "Enough, both of you get out!"

Let both of them leave together?

Wouldn't that just be changing the location to fight?

Jiang Motian sighed, then stepped forward and said: "I will send Xiaoshi away."

【Line 82 is a continuation of 81】

After saying this, she pressed down on Li Xingyan's stiff arm and took away the constantly coughing Xiaoshi.

Xiaoshi coughed for quite a while before he slowly calmed down.

Afterward, like a wilted eggplant, he muttered: "Sorry, I was impulsive just now."

"My brother is also a bit excessive, but with this kind of thing happening, it is hard for him to be calm, I hope you can understand."

"Of course I can understand, Tiantian, these past few days..."

Jiang Motian knew what Xiaoshi meant.

But she refused: "These past few days, you shouldn't come to see me, I just want to wait for Momo to wake up."

After saying this, Jiang Motian paused for a moment.

Then she laughed at herself and said: "I want to wait for Momo to wake up, identify him, and then... give up."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoshi's complexion became very ugly.

He even stopped in his tracks and stared straight at Jiang Motian.

And asked: "Do you like him that much? Even after all this, you still want to make excuses for him!? Doing this, how can you face Li Moning!"

"I said, wait for Momo to wake up and listen to her identification. If she identifies Xie Wanyi, I will never be soft-hearted!"

"Then what if she doesn't wake up?!"

Xiaoshi's words made Jiang Motian stare at him in astonishment.

Her eyes were full of shock.

Xiaoshi also realized he had made a slip of the tongue and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry!"

Jiang Motian didn't want to pursue it.

She just sighed wearily and then said: "Go back."

"Tiantian..."

Jiang Motian shook her head, ignored Xiaoshi's attempt to make her stay, and turned to walk back to the hospital room.

As for Xiaoshi, who remained where he was, he clenched his fists tightly.

But the next second, he looked around guardedly again.

Why did it feel like someone was watching him?

Xiaoshi looked around, but didn't find anything unusual.

But being cautious,

he didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurried away.
