Chapter 1988: Why Should There Be Mercy for Her?

Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao both had solemn expressions.

Could it be... that they already know something?

Li Xingyan and Jiang Motian exchanged a look, then asked proactively, "Did something happen at home?"

"Just now, your Uncle Sun came by."

Li Xingyan's eyes darkened, and he asked, "Did he come because of Sun Qing?"

"Yes, he wanted us to look after her."

"That is impossible!"

Li Beijue frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with Li Xingyan's uncompromising attitude.

But Li Xingyan had his own reasons: "I have already given them chances, and more than once! If they don't seize the opportunity, then I have no way to show mercy!"

"I know there is bad blood between you and Sun Qing. But your Uncle Sun coughed up blood today and was sent to the Hospital; it was diagnosed as... terminal stomach cancer. He knows he doesn't have much time left and only hopes his daughter can be safe and sound!"

Jiang Motian had guessed that Uncle Sun would plead for mercy.

But she hadn't expected... he would use such a reason!

Then what about her brother? How would he choose?

Jiang Motian turned her head to look at Li Xingyan.

Li Xingyan's expression didn't change at all.

He said, "If her daughter is to be safe and sound, then does that mean other people's daughters deserve to be plotted against by her?"

"But..."

"This matter is not up for discussion. Another day, I will personally apologize to Uncle Sun."

After saying this, Li Xingyan went up the stairs.

Li Beijue was already in a heavy mood.

Hearing these heartless words, he couldn't help but shout angrily, "Why can't you be forgiving when you can? Have you forgotten that when you were little, your Uncle Sun carried you on his back and bought you cake to eat!? Really..."

Jiang Baobao tugged at Li Beijue and advised, "Forget it, this is our son's choice, we cannot force him."

After saying this, Jiang Baobao noticed that Jiang Motian was still standing there, looking like she had something to say but was holding back.

Jiang Baobao then asked, "Tiantian, do you have something to say?"

Jiang Motian nodded.

Then she asked in return, "Mom and Dad, you only know that Uncle Sun is pitiful, but what about Yangyang? Is there no one to pity her?"

"What does this have to do with Yangyang?"

As soon as Jiang Motian saw her parents' expressions, she knew they were still unaware of what had just happened.

It seemed there was a need to explain!

Jiang Motian frowned and said concisely, "The reason the Wei Family company was hollowed out is all because of the good deeds Sun Qing did! Today at the Hospital, she even attempted to push Yangyang down the stairs to kill her!"

These words shocked both Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao!

Li Beijue even took two steps forward and asked, "What you said... is it true?"

"Of course it's true. Many people in the Hospital are talking about it. It's a good thing Brother appeared in time, otherwise Yangyang..."

Jiang Motian did not continue.

She clenched her fists and asked her parents rhetorically, "For a person like that, why should there be mercy?"

Having learned the truth, Li Beijue sat on the sofa, frowning.

At this moment, he no longer had his earlier imposing manner.

Jiang Baobao was also sighing, "We misunderstood Xingyan."

"This kid, he just couldn't explain a little more."

Jiang Motian immediately stood from Li Xingyan's perspective and analyzed, "He was also scared today; he almost lost Yangyang... Actually, let alone Brother, even I want to cause trouble for Sun Qing!"

Being so vicious and ruthless, she deserves to be taught a lesson.

But unfortunately, she is the daughter of an old friend...

Li Beijue had a headache; he rubbed his temples and said, "If Old Sun finds out about this... he won't be able to take it."

"Then let's not tell him for now. Tell him his daughter is away on a business trip. When he is near the end, entrust someone to bring Sun Qing out so they can see each other one last time. That is all we can do."

Li Beijue did not speak.

It seemed he tacitly agreed with Jiang Baobao's suggestion.

And Jiang Motian did not stay any longer.

She went straight to her brother's room to tell Li Xingyan about their parents' misunderstanding, so he wouldn't overthink it.

Li Xingyan was flipping through documents as he said, "I know Mom and Dad are in a difficult position. They have their stance, and I have mine. We don't have to agree with each other, it doesn't matter."

"But Mom and Dad don't need you to show mercy anymore!"

"But there's no guarantee that if Uncle Sun's condition worsens later, Mom and Dad won't soften their hearts. Anyway, I've stated my attitude today, and it won't change regardless."

"Then..."

Li Xingyan interrupted Jiang Motian and said, "When you have time, spend more time with Mom and Dad."

"Oh."

Having received his sister's response, Li Xingyan then carried his documents and hurried out the door.

As for Jiang Motian, she sighed and looked back at Li Xingyan's retreating figure.

In the Hospital corridor, Yi Xiang was holding two pots of succulents, walking like the wind.

As he turned a corner, preparing to walk straight into the patient room, he discovered Wei Yangyang walking toward him.

Seeing her, Yi Xiang's eyes curved, and he asked, "Haven't seen you in a few days, did you miss me?"

Wei Yangyang deliberately ignored the teasing tone in his words and instead turned her attention to the succulents: "Why are you holding flowers?"

"I think the names of these two pots of flowers are auspicious, they would be perfect in the new home, you should take them back."

"No need."

"Don't be polite with me, they're just two pots of flowers."

"It's really not about being polite, it's just that we are about to move back in."

Yi Xiang was stunned for a moment, and he asked: "Move back?"

"Yes, Sun Qing has already been arrested because the acquisition process involved violations, and the transaction is invalid! We only need to pay the price difference to take back the original assets!"

Wei Yangyang only spoke about it simply.

But in reality, the steps involved were extremely cumbersome.

Fortunately, Li Xingyan helped out, which shortened the process and also saved the Wei Family quite a bit of time.

This result made Wei Yangyang beam with joy.

Yi Xiang was also happy for Wei Yangyang.

However, he was also a bit curious: "How did things suddenly take such a turn for the better?"

"Because of Xingyan's help!"

Mentioning Li Xingyan, Wei Yangyang had no reservations, and her voice was crisp.

Yet before, Wei Yangyang hadn't even been willing to mention that person's name.

So, what happened during the few days he was absent?

Yi Xiang was full of questions.

And at this very moment, the only one who could give him an answer was the young woman in front of him.

Therefore, Yi Xiang tentatively asked: "Then you and Li Xingyan..."

"We weren't fighting, we were just cooperating with each other to lure Sun Qing out."

They... were cooperating with each other.

Then what about himself, was he a clown?

Yi Xiang gripped the small flower pots tightly, and the expression on his face stiffened for a moment.

But he quickly returned to normal and even said with a smile: "Your acting was good, I even believed it."

"But I still thank you; I was truly lost a while ago, and having you with me made me feel much more at ease."

Wei Yangyang expressed her gratitude with a smile.

Her gratitude was heartfelt.

At the same time, it also wore away the bit of lingering concern in the depths of Yi Xiang's heart.

Yi Xiang savored this sentence again...

The more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt.
