Chapter 801 Regrets And The Pain...
Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband
Chapter 801 Regrets And The Pain...
Xi Residence…
Xi Guiren had to go on the business trip, so he was worried about Han Ju, who was silent all the time, looking at her son's picture and silently obeying to whatever Xi Guiren asked her to do. She was like a soulless body that was alive just for the sake of living.
At the breakfast table, Song Meilin asked the servant, "Did she eat her breakfast?"
The servant knew what their mistress was talking about and replied, "I took it to her as it was her medicine time, but she didn't touch anything. I tried to convince her, but she continued looking outside the window, without reacting to anything."
Song Meilin put the chopsticks in her hand on the dining table as she ordered, "Prepare one more dish for her."
It surprised Nixxxie. "Mother…."
"She is the person living in this house for long, so we can't ignore her," Song Meilin said, and Nixxxie understood her mother.
Though her mother hated the other woman, she had that soft side which asked her to act like a human.
Song Meilin picked up the tray, having breakfast food in it that the servant arranged and went to Han Ju's room. Han Ju was sitting in the chair near the window of her room, staring blankly at the garden outside.
Putting the tray on the center table in the room, Song Meilin went towards the window as she stood beside Han Ju, staring at the same view as hers.
"Staring outside the whole day, won't bring him back," Song Meilin commented.
Han Ju didn't react, and Song Meilin continued, "I am sure what he wished for dearly was his mother to be happy and healthy always."
"If it's the truth, then didn't he know he was my happiness," Han Ju countered with a shaky voice as she finally broke her silence.
"He must believe that his mother is strong enough to be happy without him," Song Meiling said.
"Now, I know how much it must hurt you when Xi Guo…"
"No need to talk about those things as I am over it. Have your breakfast as I don't wish him to think we abandoned his mother once he left."
Saying, Song Meilin left. Though her words were harsh, Han Ju took it as her care.
It was the first time these two were talking calmly, without any hatred between them. Was it necessary for this day to come after the few unfortunate things happened when everything could have happened nicely without hurting anyone?
Only if they had accepted each other nicely, and there was no hatred or jealousy, then the scene would be something else, and no one would be hurt. Two brothers would be together happily with the entire family, but this is human nature. Few feelings we can't simply put aside even though we know that's wrong. What matters the most is one's own happiness, and that is what we call being selfish.
-------
When Nixxxie finished her breakfast, she went to her mother's room, where Song Meilin was sitting calmly with her eyes closed.
"Did something happen, mother, when you went to her? How is she?"
"How can one be after losing someone precious to them," Song Meilin commented.
Sitting beside her mother, nixxxie asked, "Are you feeling bad for her, mother?"
Giving out a deep sigh, Song Meilin replied, "Don't know if I should feel bad or feel glad that she can now understand the pain she and her son had given to me."
"I understand you, mother….."
Song Meilin continued as she interrupted her daughter. "But I never wished for her to go through it though I had other plans to punish them. I never wanted him to die. If so, I would have killed him long back to take my revenge."
"I know, mother."
Song Meilin continued sitting silently for a while as Nixxxie accompanied her.
"What you have asked me to do, is ready," Song Meilin informed.
"Thank you, mother."
"Are you sure you want to do it?"
"Yes, mother."
"Hmm! Your life, your decision," Song Meilin commented, and Nixxxie informed, "I am going to see him soon."
"Be strong, and you can always change your decision."
"Hmm!" Nodding Nixxxie left.

In Jiang Yuyan's office…
Jiang Yuyan was resting in her chair with her eyes closed as office hours were over, and no work had left to finish.
"Boss, I need to tell you something," said Xiao Min.
"Hmm!"
"It's about Ms. Nicky."
"Hmm!"
Xiao Min put one file on the table and said, "This file."
Jiang Yuyan went through it. "Why suddenly? Did she fight with my brother?"
"No, but there is something serious that I got to know."
"She knows that Mr. Xi Cheng was the person behind the previous boss's accident," Xiao Min replied.
Jiang Yuyan pressed her temples as it was not good news that could affect her brother's life. "How did this happen? Who the hell told this to her?"
Xiao Min narrated everything to Jiang Yuyan, and she asked, "Are you sure this happened?"
"Today, assistant Li got to know about the information in the file, and as he knew the relationship between Doctor Jiang Yang and Ms. Nicky, he asked me to inform you about this. When I asked what happened suddenly, he told me the incident before Mr. Xi Cheng's death when Ms. Nicky got to know about it. She even left home and stayed with Mr. Lu Feng for a while."
Jiang Yuyan closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair as she thought nothing was going right with the people close to her.
When these two talked, they were unaware that someone had heard them talking and that someone was the one who should not have heard it.
-------
Jiang Yang finished work soon and thought to surprise his sister by visiting her in her office. When he reached her office floor, the receptionist greeted him, and as they were about to inform their boss about Jiang Yang's arrival, he stopped them.
"It's a surprise for your boss. Don't inform her."
Smiling, he was just about to open the door of the office, which was already open a little, he heard Nixxxie's name being mentioned and stopped. What he heard next shocked him as if the entire world had fallen apart.
In disbelief, he turned around and left while the two receptionists could only look at him surprisingly.
