Chapter 999: Chapter 58: Brilliant Sparks, Only Deep Feelings Cannot Be Betrayed

Sitting by the bedside in the hospital room.

The whole family’s hearts were almost petrified.

Feng Chengjin’s heart trembled like a tsunami.

Some thoughts relaxed a little, but what came crashing down—

A look of shock at Yu Xi, for a long while, he squeezed out half a sound from his throat, "You..."

Yu Xi blinked his eyes, looked at Feng Chengjin, then at everyone else, continuously revealing a confused expression.

Until Li Zhi, in disbelief, rushed frantically to Yu Xi’s side, only to be urgently stopped by the medical staff.

Li Zhi, "What are you saying! You say, who are we? Yu Xi! I’m your mom, I’m your mom..."

Cry howling, heart-wrenching, for the typically dignified and elegant Li Zhi, such a state was rare.

Soon, doctors, experts, and professors hurriedly came in upon hearing the news.

After roughly examining Yu Xi’s condition, they said, "The head was violently hit, and at the moment, there is a blood clot inside causing pressure on the nerves, so there is temporary amnesia, but there’s no need to worry too much, as it hasn’t damaged the most critical area. When the blood clot dissipates a little, some memory may gradually recover."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s worries eased a little.

But none ignored the most important words.

Li Zhi’s eyes trembled, staring at Li Mingda, "What does... ’may’ mean..."

Li Mingda smiled awkwardly, saying, "It’s not the most critical area, but since this situation has occurred, there can’t be no effects at all. The memory might be somewhat... compromised."

Hearing this, not yet recovered from the torment of her son’s life-and-death struggle these few days, she heard such serious aftereffects, and even glanced again at her son’s disfigured leg.

Li Zhi’s body swayed, her vision went dark, and she fainted.

"Ah, Mrs. Li!" In the hospital room, there was a sudden flurry of activity, the doctors quickly stepping forward to help, sweating profusely.

...

Late at night.

The ticking clock sounded above the head. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Silence enveloped, the night as black as a fierce beast, swallowing people’s hearts one bite at a time.

The hospital room was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.

Because of her fainting, though there was no need to be hospitalized, the doctors, considering her physical condition and the situation with the young master, still ordered her to be hospitalized.

Li Zhi lay in bed, listening to the doctors quietly instructing Feng Chengxuan at the door.

Two minutes later, Feng Chengxuan returned.

His posture was as usual, still holding a cigarette.

Li Zhi lifted her cold eyes and said heavily, "Let third brother and sister-in-law move out of the Feng Family."

Feng Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, watching his wife in embarrassment.

Third brother and sister-in-law stayed at Feng Family’s old house because of considering their parents’ emotions, and initially their parents, to make amends, pleaded desperately to invite them back. What was said at first... was to return to the Pinghu District villa after the child was born.

Li Zhi’s meaning he understood.

Out of selfish motives, he also felt Cheng Jin and Zhi Xuan moving out would be better. After all, the old house had too many troubles. Cheng Jin, for all these years, finally found the love he wanted but still worried about the influences of old and young in the old house, not daring to get too intimate with sister-in-law. Furthermore, young people living on their own would have more space, without having to be wary of their parents’ faces, lessening conflicts.

But whether third brother and sister-in-law were willing to leave the old house was one thing, asking them to leave was another!

With slightly resentful eyes, Feng Chengxuan said, "Are you insane!"

"Insane?" Li Zhi sneered, sitting up from the hospital bed, saying, "Feng Chengxuan! Am I insane, or are you insane! Ever since this sister-in-law entered our home, has our family had a single day of peace? Am I wrong to want her out?"

Feng Chengxuan was angrier, clenching his fists slightly, saying, "Is it wrong? Li Zhi, are you thinking, don’t think I don’t understand, you feel third brother’s marriage is always not good, Yu Yu, Yu Ning’s matters are all involved with her interference, perhaps even in your understanding, Yu Xi’s matters are related to her in some way. But Li Zhi! What’s it got to do with her? Sister-in-law has always been honest and obedient, even if she disagreed with you, it was within her rights as the Feng Family’s Third Young Madam. Even if some mistakes were made, haven’t you made mistakes? The Feng Family isn’t your personal Feng Family. Don’t think that your status has declined, as if everything is not going your way, just as if their arrival caused it! Why can’t it be that previously everyone had no better choice, only forced to follow you, and now, with better choices, they don’t want to be bossed by you anymore? When anything happens, look for the cause within yourself!"

Severe and harsh, not a trace of the warmth of a couple halfway through their lifetime.

Li Zhi looked at her husband, her heart aching deeply, yelling more furiously, "You don’t have a single ounce of thought to stand by my side and help me, Feng Chengxuan! I’ve become like this, my son has become like this! You still won’t go along with my wishes even once? In your eyes, in your heart, did all these years with me, now that I’m driven to this state, not even compare to a sister-in-law?"

Feng Chengxuan’s forehead was shadowy, feeling more mismatched.

With cold eyes, he said, "Whether going along with your wishes depends if your stance can be justified, upholding the basic morality. You are a well-educated young lady from a noble family, how can you even propose such things on principles of grievance!"

With that, Feng Chengxuan turned and walked out, but with that cold back, what remained unsaid was, ’How is this different from those who cry at love troubles finding all sorts of reasons? You think because you’re grieving you’re justified?’ Li Zhi’s eyes reddened more painfully, almost bleeding tears!

As Feng Chengxuan walked out, he ordered the Feng Family bodyguards at the door, "Take care of Madam!"

He himself then turned back into Yu Xi’s hospital room.

The night deepened even more.

Looking at the son who now, in pain, started moaning slightly in his sleep again, Feng Chengxuan’s heart ached, his eyes rimed with red, wishing some of the harm had happened to him.

But he understood, Yu Xi’s character wasn’t formed overnight, no matter what the child encountered, to stay silent and not communicate with the family before going out for a race, one point can’t be denied.

His and Li Zhi’s discord led to the son’s tragedy—

He and Li Zhi were the culprits.

But...

Raising his hand, rubbing his weary eyebrows, thinking of what Li Zhi said earlier, his heart hurt even more.

How to make the son’s life better in the future? Would he and Li Zhi getting along remedy some of the child’s fragile soul?

But the thought only flashed in his mind for a second, then was extinguished like a cigarette butt.

Li Zhi and his feelings can’t merge, exactly like what Li Zhi said earlier, the emotions expressed lately, Li Zhi’s own character, her perspective on matters has never aligned with his. All these years, from the first meeting, he knew such a woman he could never accept throughout his life, a woman who couldn’t even be fundamentally kind, how could he ever feel lenient towards her? A woman who can’t even hold the basic moral views, how can he communicate effectively?

Furthermore—

More painfully covering his face.

Thinking of the woman who once faced his "betrayal," merely left a letter, "I respect all your decisions," then turned away.

That woman could understand all of his thoughts and decisions, in many aspects of life, he only needed to raise an eye and she could express the same ideas and thoughts, even at his constraint, if reluctant, she would yield to fulfill him...

He liked her, loved her, loved her for twenty-six years.

Such a woman, he cannot help but love, but he can no longer have her...

Sorrowfully covering his eyes, his heart ached convulsively, the wetness within didn’t know whether it was for his son hanging by a thread, or for the woman who long vanished without a trace, or for his own difficult path...

...

In the small woods beneath the hospital.

Now looking at the glass window of the ICU above—was an extraordinarily elegant woman.

She’s forty-nine this year, in a blink, she’s already a woman close to fifty.

What can a fifty-year-old woman do? Other than her appearance could still be called an old enchantress in the entertainment circle, what else does she have left?

With a bitter laugh.

She lowered her eyes.

Beside her, Qiu Zhixuan, called down, watched Chen Yiyue with a slight bewilderment, some inner stirrings and feelings resurfacing...

Chen Yiyue came upon hearing about Feng Chengxuan’s son’s accident.

Such a major accident was news throughout the Rong City circles, everyone sighed at the life-changing blow Feng Family’s elder would face this time.

Chen Yiyue really didn’t want to see Feng Chengxuan, but thinking about the pain Feng Chengxuan was suffering now...

She pursed her lips, saying, "..."
