Chapter 2095: Pitiful People Must Have Their Hateful Aspects

The woman stood there, acting neurotic, muttering vicious words to herself.

But the moment she thought of her daughter, she began to shed tears, plop, plop.

Her drooping brows and eyes made the lines on her face appear even deeper.

Jiang Motian watched for a moment, then turned her head to look at Xie Wanyi, asking with her eyes: Sui Xin's mother?

Xie Wanyi grasped Jiang Motian's meaning and nodded gently.

Having received the answer, Jiang Motian looked at Sui Xin's mother once again.

But that woman had already walked back into the hospital room.

Once the hospital room door closed, the few of them could no longer see a trace of Sui Xin's mother.

Xiaolin let out a long breath unconsciously and muttered: "With a mother like that, what daughter wouldn't feel stifled?"

Jiang Motian also disliked the state Sui Xin's mother was in; it felt very pathological.

But once she thought of Sui Xin's actions...

Jiang Motian could not feel pity for her, and even said: "No matter what, one shouldn't drag unrelated people into the water; others don't owe her anything."

Xiaolin immediately followed Jiang Motian's lead and said: "This is exactly why pitiful people must have their hateful aspects."

"Exactly!"

After Jiang Motian finished speaking, she thought of something and asked Xiaolin again: "Has Qi Fengyang been here since noon?"

"No."

"That's strange. Qi Fengyang is so worried about Sui Xin, why hasn't he come to the hospital to keep her company? Unless..."

Jiang Motian narrowed her eyes and muttered: "He's busy arranging some conspiracy!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Motian turned her head, about to speak to Xie Wanyi.

But Xie Wanyi had already grasped Jiang Motian's thoughts and spoke first: "I will send people to keep an eye on Qi Fengyang."

"Right, and we must also guard against him causing trouble for Kexuan!"

"Rest assured, I will find someone to protect Su Kexuan."

Who would have thought, Xie Wanyi had misunderstood Jiang Motian's meaning this time.

Jiang Motian shook her head and said: "No, your people need to protect Qi Fengyang!"

This...

Xie Wanyi was surprised at first, then suddenly realized.

Su Kexuan's martial arts skills were not bad; Qi Fengyang was no match for her.

And protecting Qi Fengyang was not because Jiang Motian was concerned for his safety, but to prevent him from using the situation to his advantage.

Having realized this, Xie Wanyi said: "You don't need to worry about Su Kexuan's side; I will arrange it."

"Mm, I trust you to handle things. It's just..."

Jiang Motian sighed gloomily and said helplessly: "I didn't expect that after only two days of peace, more trouble would come knocking."

"Sui Xin has always been a hidden danger; now that she is making a move, it is actually a good thing, as we can take the opportunity to resolve it completely."

"Sigh, I hope so."

Seeing Jiang Motian sighing constantly, Xie Wanyi raised his hand to ruffle her hair and said: "Alright, stop worrying. Let Xiaolin watch over things here; I'll take you back to the Art Studio."

Jiang Motian had a pile of things to do herself and could not stay here forever.

Therefore, she followed Xie Wanyi's suggestion.

It was just that neither of them expected that as soon as they left, Qi Fengyang would arrive at the hospital.

Qi Fengyang held a bouquet of fresh flowers and pushed open the hospital room door.

He happened to see Sui Xin's mother holding her phone, taking photos of Sui Xin.

Having been caught in her little act, Sui Xin's mother felt a bit awkward.

Qi Fengyang was also stunned.

But he quickly returned to normal and smiled politely at his elder.

Sui Xin's mother also smiled and said with a gentle expression: "You must be a friend of Sui Xin's; I remember you."

"Yes, my name is Qi Fengyang. Hello, Auntie."

"Hello. Well, why don't you keep Sui Xin company? I'm going downstairs to grab a bite to eat."

"You shouldn't just grab anything to eat. Let me take you to a better restaurant."

"No, no, no. With something like this happening, how could I have an appetite? If it weren't for the fear that I might collapse and have no one to take care of Sui Xin, I wouldn't want to eat a single grain of rice."

As Sui Xin's mother spoke, tears rolled down from her eyes.

Qi Fengyang offered a few words of comfort before Sui Xin's mother stopped her tears and walked out of the hospital room with a sorrowful face.

Once the hospital room door closed, Sui Xin opened her eyes.

"So you were awake."

"My mom kept taking photos with 'click', 'click' sounds; it would be hard not to wake up."

"Then... why did Auntie take photos while you were asleep?"

"Because she can upload them to her personal account to show how miserable her daughter is and how desperate her life is."

When Sui Xin explained this, she was expressionless, as if she were already accustomed to it.

But Qi Fengyang found it unbelievable.

He asked tentatively: "Auntie should be covering your face, right?"

"How could that be? If she covered it, how would she let my father, who didn't come, see my pale face? And how would she stir up his meager sense of sympathy?"

Sui Xin couldn't even remember how many times her mother had used similar tactics.

In the beginning, this trick was indeed effective, and her father would come to see her.

However, the number of times the moves were effective was becoming fewer and fewer.

Now... they were likely completely ineffective.

Sui Xin revealed a self-deprecating smile.

And Qi Fengyang fell silent.

He suddenly realized that this mother and daughter were very much alike.

Both were very crazy and unreasonable.

And this kind of madness in Sui Xin inexplicably attracted Qi Fengyang.

But Qi Fengyang hated the feeling of losing control.

The moment he thought about how he had come to find Sui Xin as agreed, only to see her on the verge of death the instant he pushed open the room door...

Qi Fengyang's expression turned cold as he questioned, "Wasn't it agreed that this was just acting? Why did you have to play for real?"

Sui Xin lowered her eyes, her tone indifferent: "The people I face are all sharp-witted; faking it wouldn't fool them."

"But if something went wrong, your life would be gone!"

"If it's gone, it's gone; it would just prove that such is my fate."

Sui Xin was disregarding life itself.

Qi Fengyang frowned tightly as he listened.

But soon, his brow smoothed out, and he spoke a truth: "Actually, you quite want to fall asleep and never wake up."

Sui Xin's calm expression shattered.

She glared fiercely at Qi Fengyang and snapped, "Who says so? I haven't obtained Jiang Mobai yet!"

"If you never obtain him, what will you do?"

"As long as I am alive, I will keep striving; sooner or later, I will obtain him!"

Sui Xin's expression was ferocious.

And her words made one feel not a shred of love for Jiang Mobai.

She only wanted to possess him.

Qi Fengyang was all too familiar with this kind of possessiveness.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Do you really like Jiang Mobai? Or are you just using him as some kind of emotional crutch?"

Sui Xin hated the look on Qi Fengyang's face right now.

It was as if he knew everything.

This hatred made Sui Xin want to drive him away.

But thinking that she still had things to ask...

Sui Xin endured her impatience and coldly questioned, "That is none of your concern; as for the task I gave you, how is it going?"

"Not very smoothly."

This answer made Sui Xin's expression change immediately.

She furrowed her brows and questioned, "It was just to smear Su Kexuan and put public opinion pressure on her; how could it not be going smoothly?"

"Because Jiang Motian is helping her."

As for exactly how she was helping, Qi Fengyang did not elaborate.

He was also too embarrassed to elaborate.

And his omission led Sui Xin to believe that Jiang Motian was using her family's influence to put pressure on Qi Fengyang.
