518 Recalling the Past
Xing Chen’s heart ached when he heard this story.
To think such a good girl like Qiao An had been deceived and let down by a scumbag. He wanted to help her beat that scumbag up.
Qiao An calmed down and said, “When I woke up, I was already lying in the hospital. The person who saved me was my husband’s uncle, Huo Xiaoran. In order to save me, he had already taken care of me in the hospital for more than ten days. I always thought that he was a noble doctor. Later on, I found out that he was the angel brother I had been longing for.”
“What happened next?” Xing Chen asked curiously.
!!
Qiao An said, “I couldn’t control myself with him. After he was drunk once, I was pregnant with his child. Because of this, I divorced my ex-husband quickly. When I went to look for Xiaoran happily, he had a confidante by his side.”
Xing Chen frowned. “This is another scumbag.”
Qiao An shook her head and tried her best to defend her husband. “He’s not. It’s because the woman beside him was too scheming. It was also because I was soft-hearted and listened to her as she sowed discord. I left the capital sadly. But on the way to the airport, I was hit by a car. That driver even told me that Brother Xiaoran wanted me to die. Because of this, I hated him.”
“A few years later, I came back with the children. I wanted to take revenge on him every time, but he always let bygones be bygones and helped me time and time again. Later, I found out that he had always loved me deeply all these years. It was me who listened to his junior sister and wronged him. We got together naturally.”
Xing Chen saw that when Qiao An mentioned Xiaoran, her eyes flickered with a bright light. This convinced him that that man was a light in her life.
“Did you get married?” Xing Chen asked.
Qiao An nodded.
“Then where did he go after that? Why did he abandon you?”
Qiao An looked at Xing Chen and reached out to touch his face. Her voice was angry. “Then he joined the police force. He promised me he would come back safely, but he didn’t. He didn’t keep his promise.”
Xing Chen’s chest filled with bitterness. “Is he dead?”
Qiao An had always had someone in her heart. This person loved her and trusted her under any conditions. In the end, he was a very righteous hero.
Qiao An would only remember such a man for the rest of her life. Compared to him, Xing Chen’s relationship with Qiao An seemed thin. He was suddenly filled with helplessness about this relationship.
Tears welled in Qiao An’s eyes as she stared at Xing Chen.
Her mouth trembled. She wanted to tell him some of the truth, but in a moment of excitement, she didn’t know where to start.
“Brother Xiaoran?” she called out to him emotionally.
Xing Chen stared at her blankly.
At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked open by a man. He said anxiously, “Xing Chen, come over quickly. Xing Xiaoya is courting death. I can’t persuade her. She just drank paraquat…”
“Paraquat?” Xing Chen’s face was pale as he quickly ran out.
Suspicion flashed across Qiao An’s eyes. It was obvious that Xing Xiaoya was a tough person. She would never really want to die. So her suicide was just a trick.
However, paraquat was poisonous after all. Qiao An was still a little worried. She jumped off the chair, put on her shoes, and immediately ran next door.
In Xing Xiaoya’s room, the paraquat bottle fell to the ground, and the liquid inside flowed out. Xing Chen rushed in and was stunned when he saw the paraquat bottle.
Xing Xiaoya curled up on the bed, holding her stomach and rolling around.
“Aiya, it hurts. It hurts.”
“Xiaoya.” Xing Chen rushed over in a panic. He rubbed Xing Xiaoya’s throat in an attempt to make her vomit.
However, Xing Xiaoya could not vomit anything.
Xing Chen asked anxiously, “Xiao Ya, how much did you drink?”
“Why do you care? Leave me alone. Since you chose Qiao An, live with her. Why do you care?” Xing Xiaoya roared.
When Qiao An walked in, she heard her hysterical roar.
Stunned, Qiao An smiled. “You’re full of energy. That doesn’t sound like a poisoned person, does it?”
Xing Xiaoya was so angry that she pointed at Qiao An and scolded, “Why are you so cold-blooded? You can’t wait for me to die so that you can be with Brother Xingchen, right?”
Qiao An picked up the paraquat on the ground and checked how much liquid was left in the bottle. Unexpectedly, Xing Chen saw this and ran over in a panic. He snatched the bottle from her hand and said in a panic, “Qiao An, you’re not allowed to touch this thing. There are so many women in the countryside who use it to kill themselves when they didn’t want to live anymore.”
Qiao An smiled. “Brother Xing Chen, don’t worry. I’m different from Xing Xiaoya. No matter how difficult or painful it is, I won’t commit suicide. My life was given to me by my parents. It wasn’t easy for them to raise me. If I die, won’t I be letting them down?”
Xing Xiaoya said angrily, “Qiao An, you’re making sarcastic remarks. You have no sympathy at all.”
Qiao An smiled. “Sympathy? Hehe, Xing Chen has sympathy. And you used his sympathy to punish him? To make his life uneasy? Right? Xing Xiaoya, stop pretending. If you really drank the poison, I’d fucking drink that bottle of paraquat.”
Xing Chen scolded Qiao An angrily, “An’an, I’m already exhausted. Are you going to do the same to me?”
Qiao An glanced at Xing Chen, not wanting to cause him trouble, and shut up resentfully.
At this moment, the man who loved Xing Xiaoya took the initiative to uphold justice. “Xing Chen, you saw it too. Xing Xiaoya loves you so much. How can you leave her?”
Xing Chen was helpless. “Xiao Ya, don’t worry. I won’t abandon you in this life.”
Xing Xiaoya suddenly threw herself into Xing Chen’s arms excitedly and cried, “I knew Brother Xing Chen loved me.”
Qiao An was dumbfounded.
She originally wanted to argue, but when she saw Xing Chen’s anxious expression, she choked back her unwillingness.
Seeing Xing Chen and Xing Xiaoya hugging, her heart ached. She turned around and left dejectedly.
Xing Chen looked sadly at Qiao An as she walked away.
Qiao An returned to her room and sighed.
If Xing Xiaoya wanted to pester Xing Chen, someone as loyal as Xing Chen would never give up on Xing Xiaoya.
And her being caught between them would only make things difficult for Xing Chen.
This seemed to be a dead end.
What the hell was she going to do?
In the afternoon, Xing Chen brought Xing Xiaoya to the town hospital at the foot of the mountain to do a checkup on her. After confirming that she did not drink any pesticide, Xing Chen’s heart completely relaxed.
Xing Chen did not blame Xing Xiaoya for her prank. He thought that Xing Xiaoya only had him as her family, so it was normal for her to rely on him.
...
However, he had to slowly persuade her to accept Qiao An.
