Chapter 262: Is Si Rong about to die?

Li Xuan was excited for quite a while.

She pointed at Si Rong on the television and said to the shopkeeper of the small store, "This woman used to be my classmate."

The shopkeeper said in surprise, "Really?"

Looking at her age, it doesn't quite look like it.

Li Xuan:...

"Of course it's true, it's just that she has good fortune and her family is wealthy, so she maintains herself well!"

"It is only right to have good fortune. I don't envy someone as kind as Teacher Si Rong for living well; I only hope Teacher Si Rong's illness gets better soon."

Li Xuan felt uncomfortable hearing this, "Kind? What's kind? You only see what others want you to see. In fact, she stole someone else's husband, destroyed someone else's family, and also..."

"Go, go, go! You're crazy!" The female shopkeeper couldn't bear to hear her slander Teacher Si Rong, "I won't let you watch TV in my shop anymore!"

Although she didn't know about Teacher Si Rong's past when she was young, she just felt that Teacher Si Rong wasn't that kind of person.

Someone who could disregard her own safety to help others—even if it were true as this crazy old woman said, it must be someone else's fault!

Right! That's exactly it!

"Don't come here again! Otherwise, I'll splash foot-washing water on you!"

Li Xuan:...

In this society nowadays, there are really more and more bad people.

Fine, she won't go in then; she didn't care for it anyway.

Si Rong was about to die, so she decided to go to the hospital to see Si Rong once.

Walking into the hospital, Li Xuan's mood also became heavy.

Everything she saw was white.

The hospital really isn't a good place; she had sent off Shen Lan in the hospital, as well as Kong Laotou and several old men after him.

This time, it was Si Rong's turn.

But before she could get close to the ward, she was stopped by two police officers.

"What are you here for?"

Li Xuan was startled by their booming voices and the guns at their waists.

Why were soldiers guarding the door of Si Rong's ward? Could it be that Si Rong was already dead?

"I'm here to see Si Rong," Li Xuan craned her neck, trying to look inside the ward.

The two duty soldiers looked at her hands, "You're visiting a patient empty-handed?"

They had been guarding this door for a day and a half, and everyone who came to visit Teacher Si Rong carried gifts in their hands.

Furthermore, just in terms of human decency, visiting a patient empty-handed wasn't something a normal person would do.

Li Xuan:...

So these two people were standing here to demand things for Si Rong?

"I, I..."

Just then, the ward door opened. It was Ming Zi who opened it, and her gaze toward Li Xuan was half-smiling, "Come in!"

Li Xuan hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence that Ming Zi, that annoying person, was also here.

If she had known, she would have come at a different time.

After entering, to her disappointment, Si Rong looked perfectly fine, sitting on the hospital bed; although her face was a bit pale, her complexion was quite good, still having that pampered appearance from before.

"You called me in, what is it?" Li Xuan asked.

Ming Zi found it ridiculous and crossed her arms, "Wasn't it you who said you wanted to visit Si Rong?"

"Yes," Li Xuan hadn't expected the atmosphere to be so awkward, "I just came to take a look."

The nasty things she had thought of on the way here had to be swallowed back because of the two duty soldiers at the door and Ming Zi being there.

"Originally, I didn't want to see you; I believe you understand the reason yourself," Si Rong leaned against the head of the bed, her gaze falling on Li Xuan's dark, dingy coat, and she looked away with some disgust, "The reason I let you in is to tell you that I saw Shen Yuan, in Chuan Shi."

A few years ago, Shen Yuan must have left Huaiyang behind Li Xuan's back. Li Xuan had been looking for her everywhere in Huaiyang, telling everyone she met about this unfilial daughter of hers.

Si Rong told her Shen Yuan's whereabouts, also hoping to divert Li Xuan's attention.

So that she wouldn't always be idle and looking for her granddaughter everywhere.

After the Bai Jia Fumu discussed it, they had decided to tell Bai Mo about her background in advance.

Everything would respect the child's wishes.

Moreover, their family currently had no intention of moving away from Huaiyang. Looking at the situation, it was estimated that they would meet sooner or later, but Si Rong felt it was better to be later.

"What? That little slut is in Chuan Shi?" Li Xuan hadn't expected her to be able to run so far, especially since she had been looking for her all over Huaiyang, "Then why didn't you bring her back?"

"Because she is the daughter born to you, that big slut, so of course I wouldn't provoke her."

"You go now! I've finished what I had to say, and I don't want to see you."

Li Xuan:...

She snorted coldly and left the ward, but when she reached the nurse's station, she still turned in to ask the nurse, "What illness does that Si Rong in that ward have? Is it a terminal illness?"

"Pah! What nonsense are you spouting, you stinking beggar! You're the one with a terminal illness, go, go, go!" The nurse directly called security to drive Li Xuan out of the hospital.

Li Xuan:...

To think they dared to call her a stinking beggar; she looked down at her old coat and sighed.

It really is a misfortune for the family.

Other people have children, and she has children too; she really didn't expect that she gave birth to a pair of twins, and not a single one of them was filial to her.

Other people's daughters are their mothers' thoughtful little cotton-padded jackets, buying food and clothes for their moms, but that little hussy Shen Yuan is fine, running off to a place as far as Chuan Shi just to enjoy herself, ignoring her mother.

If it weren't for the fact that she had no money for a bus ticket, and that Chuan Shi had just had an earthquake, she really would have wanted to take a bus to Chuan Shi to bring that dead girl back.

In a moment of distraction, Li Xuan suddenly saw a fruit shop across from the hospital, and the young girl she had seen that day was following behind a woman, seemingly picking out fruit.

Thinking of how she had once seen the little girl coming and going from Si Rong's home, could it be that this mother and daughter were also here to see Si Rong today?

Had Si Rong known this girl's identity all along?

It must be, otherwise why would she have wanted to hide it from her last time?

Li Xuan knew there were orderlies guarding the door to Si Rong's hospital room, so she certainly wouldn't gain any advantage by making a scene here.

This time she had learned to be smart, simply lurking and hiding at the hospital entrance.

Seeing that mother and daughter turn into the hospital, she waited a while longer before following, then headed straight for Si Rong's hospital room, and sure enough, she saw that mother and daughter at the door of the room.

Li Xuan immediately went to find her son.

"What are you here for again?" Shen Chi was impatient the moment he saw her now, as he was drunk all day long, "I don't have any money for you!"

"I'm not here to ask you for money," Li Xuan rolled her eyes, "Mom found your daughter, she's in Si Rong's hospital room right now."

"What? How did she get mixed up with Si Rong again?"

"Just don't ask so many questions for now; if we go any later, you won't be able to see anything at all."

Li Xuan pulled him and the two of them hurried toward the hospital.

Blown by the wind on the way, Shen Chi's consciousness became much clearer.

After arriving at the hospital, he grabbed Li Xuan, who was about to walk inside, "Let's not go up yet, let's just wait here by the entrance like waiting for a rabbit to hit a tree."

If Si Rong had known about this matter early on, there was no telling what complications might arise if Si Rong were alerted.

He only wanted to properly acknowledge his own daughter.
