Chapter 51: A Gradually Morally Bankrupt Smile
Meng Qinian thought about it, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up, revealing a sinister smile.
He suddenly felt that this matter wasn’t so hard to accept after all.
Feng Yuli smiled: “We’re just at the suspicion stage right now. It’s best to have her do a paternity test with father, or… have her meet father.”
Meng Qinian chuckled: “Alright, I’ll find an opportunity later to let her meet Uncle.”
He was determined to help Uncle snatch Perfection back from that group of morally bankrupt Jiang family members!-
At this time, inside Lin Chenyi’s hospital room.
After drinking water, he felt the urgency to urinate and, with Shen Mengjie’s help, carried the IV bottle to the restroom.
He had just finished using the toilet when the restroom light suddenly made a faint sizzling sound, the light went out for a moment and then quickly lit up again.
Lin Chenyi, whose nerves were already taut, was startled and hurriedly went to the sink, planning to quickly wash his hands and get out.
As soon as he reached the sink, he suddenly saw in the sink mirror that there was a woman on his back with yellow long hair growing all over her face, her features ferocious.
The woman’s hands were not human hands, but more like cat claws, and her two claws were tightly choking his neck.
The woman seemed to notice that Lin Chenyi could see her, slowly lifting her gaze and flashing him a ferocious smile.
Lin Chenyi: “!!!”
Lin Chenyi screamed in fright, jerking back with a big motion, the needle on the back of his hand pulled out by his movement, drawing a trace of blood.
But when he looked again, there was nothing on his back in the mirror.
Lin Chenyi was breathing rapidly, his heart pounding extremely fast. He stiffened his neck, not daring to turn around, desperately glancing back with the corner of his eye.
His back was empty.
Was it an illusion?
Lin Chenyi was panting heavily, just about to shift his gaze back when a dirt-yellow claw flashed past on his shoulder.
Lin Chenyi: “!!!”
He couldn’t help but scream out, scrambling and crawling toward the restroom doorway, but for some reason, the restroom door was unusually hard to open.
It was as if someone outside was holding the doorknob, not letting him open it.
“Help! Mengjie! Help!” The flickering restroom light intensified the fear in Lin Chenyi’s heart, and he seemed to hear a second person’s breathing by his ear!
Lin Chenyi pounded hard on the restroom door, frantically calling out to Shen Mengjie.
But no matter how much he shouted, there was no response from outside.
The breathing by his ear grew heavier and heavier, his shoulders felt like they were being gripped hard by someone and increasingly painful, his back like carrying a stone, pressing down so he could hardly breathe.
Lin Chenyi’s eyes were bloodshot, tears and snot scared out of him, shouting in despair: “Help… someone come save me…”
Just as Lin Chenyi thought he was going to be crushed to death by the weight on his back, the door he couldn’t open was pushed open from outside, and Shen Mengjie’s voice came: “Lin Ge, you’ve been in there for ten minutes, aren’t you done yet… !! Lin Ge!!”
Shen Mengjie saw Lin Chenyi sprawled on the ground, greatly alarmed, and hurried forward to help him up: “What happened to you? Are you okay?”
Lin Chenyi breathed heavily, his pupils terrifyingly bulging, hand trembling as he gripped Shen Mengjie’s hand, urgently urging her: “Quick, quick, contact that little girl from today.”
He was still young, he didn’t want to die yet—!
Shen Mengjie was startled by his state and hurriedly pressed the call bell for the doctor first before thinking of contacting Nan Yuanman.
Only then did she realize she didn’t have Nan Yuanman’s contact information at all.
Shen Mengjie hesitated for a moment, then dialed the coach’s number.
–
Early the next morning.
Nan Yuanman lazily stretched, wriggling out from under the thin blanket like a silkworm baby. She had slept exceptionally soundly, her little face rosy, soft hair messily sticking up here and there, looking like a bird’s nest.
Jiang Lixuan hadn’t slept well. He wasn’t used to having a little brat sleeping beside him and had gotten up several times during the night out of worry for Nan Yuanman.
He had even secretly placed his finger under her nose to check if she was still breathing.
In the morning, he had finally fallen into a deeper sleep when the studio coach’s call woke him up.
The coach said Lin Chenyi wanted to find Nan Yuanman, and after getting scolded by him, he grudgingly hung up.
When Jiang Lixuan sat up, his two under-eye bags could hang down to his chin. He yawned lazily: “Perfection, good morning.”
Nan Yuanman clutched the corner of the blanket, replying in a childish milky voice: “Morning.”
The big and small one sat on the bed in a daze for a while until Nan Yuanman’s stomach growled. She threw off the blanket and padded over with her short legs to freshen up, Jiang Lixuan following behind her. The two stood side by side at the bathroom sink to wash up.
“By the way.” Jiang Lixuan said to Nan Yuanman indistinctly while brushing his teeth: “My studio coach called me in the early hours, saying Lin Chenyi is looking for you. Do you know Lin Chenyi? What does he want with you?”
Nan Yuanman, foam in her mouth, succinctly described what she had seen yesterday, huffing proudly: “Serves him right for not listening to me yesterday. Now he’s scared, huh.”
Jiang Lixuan understood in his heart. Sure enough, it was another special incident. He poured out the water from his water cup: “Then after breakfast, I’ll take you to see him.”
Nan Yuanman: “Okay.”
The two finished brushing their teeth in sync. Jiang Lixuan took out some children’s lotion and applied it to Nan Yuanman’s face before wandering out the room door with her.
Breakfast was already ready in the downstairs kitchen, with meat steamed buns and red bean buns that Nan Yuanman liked, plus fragrant soy milk.
She and Jiang Lixuan had gotten up too early; the other Jiang family members were still sleeping. The two had a relatively peaceful breakfast.
After eating, Jiang Lixuan, who had planned to take Nan Yuanman to the hospital to see Lin Chenyi, received a call. His expression changed slightly as he asked softly: “Perfection, I have something to handle. Can you wait for me a bit?”
“No need, go ahead with your business. I can go to the hospital by myself.” Nan Yuanman lowered her head to organize her small shoulder bag, packing her little partners, talismans, copper coin sword—don’t forget…
After stuffing in all the work tools, Nan Yuanman also shoved in a pink-blue Pleasant Goat water cup.
This Pleasant Goat water cup was bought for her by Meng Qinian to drink water from, cartoon version, very cute.
She lifted her head, her little face serious and earnest: “I’m not a three-year-old child anymore. I remember the way.”
“Even if you remember the way, you’re still just a five-year-old kid.” Jiang Lixuan found it amusing inwardly. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said: “Then I’ll arrange for the driver to take you there. Once you’re done, come out and find the driver to bring you home.”
Nan Yuanman’s chubby little hand made an OK gesture.
Jiang Lixuan contacted the family driver, saw Nan Yuanman onto the car, watched the car leave, then drove off himself.
Before leaving, Jiang Lixuan gazed deeply at the upstairs room where Jiang Yueyao and her daughter lived.
The people he had sent to investigate yesterday also had news.
If the information from both sides matched…
Jiang Lixuan gripped the steering wheel tightly, his gaze dark. Then, he wouldn’t let Jiang Yueyao stay in the Jiang family any longer.
