CHAPTER 421: CHAPTER 419: AUNT ZHANG PASSES AWAY

Fu Shengyuan had a serious expression on his face, "Since you heard it, I won’t hide it either. Si Yuhuan has gone too far, and he must be punished accordingly."

If another man had said these words, Jian Xi would feel he was boasting too much.

But if Fu Shengyuan said it, Jian Xi would feel he was serious.

"Fu Shengyuan, you don’t need to do these things for me. Just as I’ve said before, even if I don’t marry Zhang Yaxuan, I still won’t be with you."

Her resolute words were hurtful.

And also quite sobering.

She thought Fu Shengyuan would be angry. Even if he wasn’t, he would be somewhat displeased. Unexpectedly, he just smiled calmly, "It doesn’t matter if you want to be with me or not. It’s enough that I’m sincere about being kind to you."

Jian Xi, "..."

Fine, she had made her point clear.

And delivered her thanks.

If Fu Shengyuan remained obstinate, it was none of her business.

"How is Mingming recovering?"

When Mingming was mentioned, there was an undeniable tenderness in Jian Xi’s eyes, and her whole body radiated a maternal glow, "He’s doing well."

If it weren’t for Fu Shengyuan, she wouldn’t have brought the child back so soon.

Nor would she have discovered news about her fourth brother.

After thinking it over, Jian Xi apologized, "I was out of line earlier, I apologize. I spoke a bit too harshly, and it might have hurt you. I’m just afraid that you... I..."

"It’s okay, I understand. You’re afraid that my kindness has strings attached, that I might expect something from you one day, right? I won’t!"

Fu Shengyuan’s empathy made Jian Xi feel even more ashamed.

She took a quick glance at the big hand resting on her arm and gently pushed it away.

Fu Shengyuan wasn’t embarrassed, and he smiled gentlemanly, "Sorry, I overstepped."

Jian Xi blushed and pointed at some items, "These are for you as a token of gratitude. I know it’s not much, but when my child reaches a hundred days, I’ll deliver the invitation in person. Today, I’ll just head out first."

Jian Xi hurriedly left.

Xiaoli, the secretary, came out to help organize, "I can tell that Miss Jian’s attitude towards you is getting better, and I believe it won’t be long before you win her heart."

Fu Shengyuan rubbed the ring on his thumb and smiled, "No rush, it’s like boiling a frog in warm water."

He took off the ring.

Click!

He tapped it, and some fine dust spilled out from inside the ring.

He took out his phone and saw a message on it.

He almost immediately pressed delete without hesitation.

....

As soon as Jian Xi left the hospital, she got a call from Wang Hao.

"Miss, after the doctor’s examination and treatment, Aunt Zhang still hasn’t woken up."

"I’ll head over now."

Jian Xi hung up the phone and went straight to the hospital.

At the hospital.

Aunt Zhang lay on the hospital bed with a ghastly pale face, looking almost transparent, barely clinging to life.

The doctor sighed, "The patient has seven fractures and injuries throughout her body, with the most severe injury to the brain. It should be from a fall or hard object impact. If not treated in time, the blood clots would have blocked and she would’ve lost her life."

Wang Hao boldly speculated, "It should be murder, if not then a vendetta!"

"Otherwise, there wouldn’t be injuries to the neck and abdomen. Judging by the force, the person intended to kill her."

When these words were spoken, Jian Xi covered her mouth in shock.

"Who would kill a maid?"

Jian Xi knew Aunt Zhang well. When she was at the Si Family Old Residence and the villa, Aunt Zhang followed and took care of her, often persuading Si Yuhuan to treat her better.

Such a kind person, who wanted her dead after all!

"Investigate it."

If necessary, Jian Xi would seek justice for Aunt Zhang.

She never liked owing anyone.

This time she would consider it repayment.

Wang Hao couldn’t help but nod, "Miss, you finally cut ties with the Si Family, so dealing with the Old Residence affairs now is inappropriate in every way. The most important thing is that it will surely alert Si Yuhuan. The previous misunderstandings haven’t been resolved, and now if...."

He was truly afraid that Jian Xi would get caught up in trouble again.

Jian Xi hesitated.

"Cough, cough, cough——"

Aunt Zhang woke up and, seeing Jian Xi, became teary-eyed instantly.

"Help me, Miss Jian, save me...."

Jian Xi immediately went over and held her hand, comforting her, "Don’t worry, you can tell me whatever you need to say."

"Xinxin, Housekeeper Qi went mad because Xinxin had someone drug him."

So it was like that!

Jian Xi was furious, her chest heaving.

Aunt Zhang started crying, "You must save the old master, save Director Si, save Housekeeper Qi. Xinxin is too terrifying, she’s malicious, she even dares to kill people in China, lawless!"

"How do you know?"

Compared with Aunt Zhang’s agitation, Jian Xi was very calm.

"She made a phone call, and I overheard. She also asked someone to get rid of Housekeeper Qi without leaving a trace. I suspect even the old master falling from upstairs was her doing!"

Aunt Zhang started coughing again because she talked too much.

"Alright, you should rest and recover. We’ll talk again once you’re better."

"No, I’m afraid I won’t survive! I....."

Cough, cough, cough——

Pff——

Aunt Zhang coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"Doctor!"

Jian Xi shouted towards the outside.

The doctor came in immediately to start resuscitation.

"Not good, the patient’s heart has stopped. All of you, hurry up."

Chaotic scene.

A few medical staff worked together to save Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang kept spitting out blood.

It looked horrifying.

Wang Hao feared Jian Xi couldn’t bear it, "Miss, the doctor is here! Life and death are fated, wealth and honor are by the heavens, you shouldn’t be too sorrowful."

"She will die, won’t she?"

Her voice was extremely calm, but beneath this calm were too much repressed anger and fire.

"Yeah."

Wang Hao nodded.

He didn’t know medicine, but Aunt Zhang was old and badly injured. Judging by her condition of vomiting blood, it seemed her organs were having issues, and generally, with such symptoms, based on experience, she probably wouldn’t make it.

Jian Xi covered her mouth, not wanting to cry out loud.

She suppressed her emotions and walked out, steadying herself against the wall.

A nurse rushed out to notify, "Sorry, the patient has completely lost vital signs. Officially declared deceased."

Death!

A woman who had been so good to her just lost her life in front of her.

Jian Xi turned back for a deep look, unable to hold back her tears.

...

Xinxin was pacing around the room.

"Damn Shang Fu, you better not let me catch any of your dirt, or I’ll kill you."

He first viciously attacked the bald man, torturing him beyond recognition, and now he restricted her personal freedom, which made her gnash her teeth in hatred.

But she didn’t care about these things.

What worried her more was Aunt Zhang!

Beep beep——

Seeing the message on her phone, her eyes instantly lit up.

"It worked! Hahaha!"

Xinxin was overjoyed and shouted towards the door, "Hey, I want to see Director Si, you guys better let me go, or else don’t blame me for being impolite!"
