Lin Wanyi was badly startled.
She immediately knocked on Lin Jiajun's door. "Jiajun, drive me to the hospital right now. Something happened to Siyue."
Lin Jiajun quickly opened the door. This time, he brought Chen Hui along.
The three of them rushed straight to the hospital. Before they even entered the building, they saw a large crowd gathered beneath the inpatient department.
Everyone was looking up, and people were murmuring:
"Look, someone's going to jump."
"Sigh, she's just a little girl. So young, what kind of terrible illness could she have?"
"Man, you can lack anything but health. You can be broke, but you just can't be sick."
Lin Wanyi's heart was pounding wildly as she hurried upstairs.
The reality made it even harder for her to breathe—the person standing outside the railing was indeed Liu Siyue.
The cold wind blew through her hair. Under the moonlight, she looked like a haggard, soulless shell.
Su Jing was sobbing bitterly. "Yueyue, my Yueyue, come back right now. Are you trying to kill your mother?
"You finally managed to escape those people and come back to us, please don't do anything stupid again.
"You don't know how I've survived these past few days, Yueyue. I'm begging you, I'm begging you."
Tears filled Liu Siyue's eyes. She felt so guilty toward Su Jing and apologized:
"Mom, Mom, please don't be like this.
"Mom, I'm in so much pain. Living is just too painful. My whole body aches, like ten thousand bugs are biting me.
"And there are ten thousand voices cursing at me in my ears. Mom, I can't take it. I really can't take it anymore."
Su Jing cried so hard she nearly fainted. Liu Renzhi reached out his hands:
"Yueyue, listen to your big brother. Come down first.
"You're sick, but it's not your fault. I'll find doctors for you. We'll get you the best treatment, and everything will get better.
"Yueyue, don't you believe your big brother anymore?
"Since we were kids, when have I ever broken a promise to you? If I say you will get well, you definitely will. Trust me."
Liu Siyue's tears fell even harder. "Brother, it's no use. It's really no use.
"I can't even save myself. No one can save me.
"I've tried everything. Brother, I'm in so much agony."
She wouldn't listen to anyone. Lin Wanyi saw her let go of one hand.
"No!"
Su Jing was about to lunge forward, but Liu Siyue's voice was even louder:
"Don't come any closer! Mom, don't come over, or I'll jump right now!"
Su Jing froze, not daring to move. Everyone else froze too.
Just as she was about to let go of her other hand, Lin Wanyi suddenly shouted at her:
"Liu Siyue, how can you do this to me?"
Liu Siyue was suddenly stunned. Su Jing also looked at Lin Wanyi:
"Wanyi, what are you saying? Don't talk nonsense, don't provoke her anymore."
Lin Wanyi ignored her and continued:
"To save you, I made enemies of everyone in Wangjia Village! To save you, I walked through the snow in the middle of the night for hours while pregnant!
"To save you, I almost lost my baby!
"Never mind all that, but what about Jiajun? Today, he almost killed a man to save you!
"He almost went to prison! Liu Siyue, think about it carefully. Jiajun is only in his twenties. He isn't even married and hasn't started a family yet.
"Because of you, his girlfriend is jealous and wants to break up with him.
"Are you just going to irresponsibly walk away from all this? Have you ever thought about us?"
"Jealous? Break up?"
Liu Siyue repeated in confusion. Su Jing, however, was still trying to stop Lin Wanyi:
"Stop talking, Wanyi, please don't say any more."
Lin Wanyi stopped talking, but catching her signal, Chen Hui immediately chimed in:
"It's the truth! Liu Siyue, I am Lin Jiajun's fiancée, yet today he actually went and almost killed someone for you, and nearly ended up in jail.
"Tell me, does he like you? Otherwise, why would he do so much for you?
"I can't accept this. I want to break up. I don't want a scumbag like him, you can have him!"
"No, it's not like that."
Liu Siyue grew anxious and hurriedly explained:
"It's not like that, listen to me. Jiajun and I don't have that kind of relationship at all.
"He was purely acting out of the goodness of his heart. He really doesn't like me, and I don't have romantic feelings for him either.
"We are just like brother and sister. Please don't misunderstand, you really can't misunderstand this, I..."
Chen Hui refused to listen. "I don't believe you. Come over here and explain it to me. The three of us are going to hash this out face to face right now.
"Otherwise, I'll call off the engagement with Lin Jiajun immediately. I, Chen Hui, am not a woman without a spine."
"Huihui, I don't want to break up. We can't break up."
Lin Jiajun anxiously called out to Liu Siyue:
"Come and explain it, Siyue. Please help me explain it to my fiancée.
"We're getting married soon, we can't break up."
Liu Renzhi thought for a moment and quickly added:
"Siyue, how did Mom and Dad raise you? You have to take responsibility for your actions. Jiajun is in deep trouble right now because of you, how can you just wash your hands of it?
"Hurry up and explain things clearly to her."
Liu Siyue panicked and immediately said:
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll explain. I'll definitely explain everything properly.
"Don't worry, Jiajun, don't worry."
She actually put her hand back on the railing. "Brother, give me a hand, I can't climb back over."
Liu Renzhi's eyes instantly turned red. The moment he grabbed Liu Siyue's hands, tears streamed down his face.
Without saying a word, he pulled Liu Siyue's hands with all his might.
Su Jing and Liu Jiannan also rushed forward. They hugged Liu Siyue tightly, weeping:
"You fool, you absolute fool!"
Su Jing cried as she scolded:
"The ones who deserve to die are those people, not you! You are such a fool."
They were crying their hearts out, but Liu Siyue hurriedly walked over to Chen Hui to apologize:
"I'm sorry, Chen Hui. I didn't know my relationship with Jiajun caused you to misunderstand like this.
"We really don't have a shred of the kind of feelings you mentioned. I have always been grateful to him and treat him like a biological older brother.
"I think he feels the same way. He was just too angry today, he acted out of anger."
Saying this, she turned back to look at Lin Jiajun:
"I'm sorry to you too. If it weren't for me, you would never have gotten into legal trouble.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault. I dragged you down, Jiajun, I, I..."
She was desperate to explain, but felt that whatever she said was pale and inadequate.
Chen Hui still refused to listen, so Lin Wanyi quickly said:
"Let's go downstairs and talk. It's too cold up here. If Huihui catches a cold, Jiajun will be heartbroken again."
She took Liu Siyue's hand:
"Let's go down and talk. Come on."
Just like that, she led Liu Siyue downstairs.
The Liu family followed behind, still trembling with residual fear. Su Jing was shaking so badly she could barely walk straight.
Back in the hospital room, Liu Siyue was still explaining:
"Please don't misunderstand, Chen Hui. I swear, Jiajun and I are just brother and sister."
Chen Hui said sourly, "Actually, it would be normal for Jiajun to like you. You're prettier than me and have a better education.
"Plus, your family is so wealthy. The men who want to marry you could form a long line.
"Compared to you, what am I? Sigh!"
"No, it's really not like that."
Liu Siyue looked to Lin Wanyi for help. "Sister, please help me explain. Help me explain it to her."
Lin Wanyi took the opportunity to say, "Why don't you and Huihui add each other on WeChat? You can chat more in the future. Once she interacts with you more, she'll naturally understand."
The innocent Liu Siyue immediately took out her phone and added Chen Hui as a friend.
Chen Hui took her phone back. "It's getting too late tonight. Let's have a proper chat tomorrow. Get some rest!"
