âIf it was really Mu Sijue who stopped the three doctors from entering the country, itâs time to change my plan,â Xu Youning thought.
Mu Sijue could have stopped the doctors for two reasonsâ
First, he already knew everything she had kept hidden and that she and the child would be in danger if the doctor invited by Kang Jintian were to examine her.
That was to say, Mu Sijue did it to help her.
Second, Mu Sijue still considered her as the murderer of their child and inadvertently found out that she needed to see doctors.
He hated her, but he couldnât kill her himself. Therefore, he decided to take revenge by preventing her from receiving treatment.
Xu Youning suddenly remembered that day outside the bar. Mu Sijue took the knife for her without hesitation when Yang Shanshan rushed over to stab her.
At that moment, she was sure that Mu Sijue really didnât want her to be hurt.
âIf so, why did Mu Sijue still want to take revenge on her?â
Could it be the first possibility that Mu Sijue had already known about everything that she tried to conceal?
Xu Youning suddenly felt a compulsion to cry.
She was no longer out on a limb if Mu Sijue knew the truth. At least there was someone who cared about her in this city, worrying about her safety and trying his best to pull her out of danger.
It was a good thing, but Xu Youning couldnât be happy.
She was sure that Mu Sijue, after knowing the truth, was not happy either.
He had to abandon one, either she or the child. In this case, the other one would have a bigger chance to survive.
Mu Sijue wanted the child so much, but he couldnât give her up.
For him, it was a question that had no correct answer and even could not be answered.
âIs Mu Sijue silently suffering in a place that no one can see?â
Mumu came over with pursed lips as if he had been greatly wronged. âAuntie Youning, are you all right?â He still cared about Xu Youning.
Xu Youning pinched the little guyâs face and said, âI should ask you this question. Look at you. Youâre crying. â
Mumu rubbed his eyes and lowered his head in embarrassment. He looked downward and said nothing.
âWell, Iâll not tease you anymore,â Xu Youning told the little guy in a firm tone, âIâm good. Donât worry about me, okay?â
Mumu looked up with a serious expression. âAuntie Youning, weâll find you other doctors,â he said.
âUncle Ah Jin had already thought of it,â Xu Youning responded with a smile, âWe donât have to find foreign doctors. We can see doctors working in hospitals here.â
Mumu nodded in agreement, but he knew that Kang Ruicheng was the person who had the last word.
He looked at Kang Ruicheng expectantly and asked, âDaddy, is this okay?â
Kang Ruicheng had a solemn look on his face. âIf there is no other choice, we can only accept it.â He looked at Xu Youning as he said thisâ
Xu Youning was calm. As she said, she had accepted everything, including those unexpected variables.
As long as the worse had not happened, she was not worried about anything.
Kang Ruicheng would never know that Xu Youning was calm because she had no more fears.
If Mu Sijue was helping her as she expected, she would not be exposed when she saw local doctors because Mu Sijue would arrange everything for her.
She didnât need worry about anything. The only thing she should do was to confirm whether Mu Sijue was helping her as soon as possible.
The answer soon came outâ
In the afternoon, Dongzi and Ah Jin came back from outside and both their expressions were rather strange. They seemed to want to say something but stopped on second thought.
Kang Ruicheng soon noticed that something was wrong and asked in a low voice, âWhat did you find out?â
Ah Jin did not dare to speak. He nudged Dongzi with his elbow.
âBrother Cheng, we found out who prevented the doctors from entering our country.â Dongzi ventured.
âWho?â Kang Ruicheng questioned with a murderous look.
Dongzi hesitated for two seconds before he blurted out, âIt was Auston...â
âAuston?â
This answer was so totally unexpected that both Xu Youning and Kang Ruicheng were stunned.
After a long while, Xu Youning said in a daze, âI have no grudge against Auston. Why is he doing this to me?â
Kang Ruicheng didnât care whether there was any enmity between Auston and Xu Youning. He banged on the table, stood up and shouted angrily, âWhere is Auston now?â
Dongzi had already checked the whereabouts of Auston, but the answer was bound to disappoint Kang Ruichengâ
Dongzi lowered his head and said weakly, âBrother Cheng, Auston has left the country. We canât find his whereabouts.â
In other words, they could do nothing to Auston even though they knew he played tricks behind their backs.
Kang Ruicheng became angrier. He grabbed his phone and dialed Austonâs number.
The call went through. After a few rings, Auston answered the phone.
âThat was quick, you found out I was the one who did it?â Auston said in an arrogant tone.
âYou!â Kang Ruicheng had an almost overwhelming desire to follow the mobile phone signal and kill Auston. âWhy did you do that?â
Xu Youning walked over and ordered one of the subordinates to take Mumu away. Then she motioned for Kang Ruicheng to put Auston on speaker.
That day at the bar, if she had not been mistaken, she noticed that the relationship between Auston and Mu Sijue was very good.
She also wanted to know why Auston didnât want her to see the doctor.
Or perhaps someone asked Auston to do so?
Kang Ruicheng turned on the speaker and put the phone on the table.
Auston smiled leisurely at the other end of the phone and said unhurriedly, âI did it for Sijue, obviously.â
If Xu Youning didnât hear it wrongly, the way Auston said Mu Sijueâs name, it was as if they had an affair with each other.
No one had expected he was such a person!
Xu Youning felt disgusted. âI do have a personal grudge against Mu Sijue, but itâs none of your business.â
âOf course itâs my business.â Auston snorted haughtily. âXu Youning, do you think I really want to cooperate with you? I gave you a chance to negotiate with me just because I wanted to see what the woman Sijue loved looked like! Ha, youâre just so-so!â
Xu Youning rolled up her sleeves and found she had broken out in goose bumps.
She asked teasingly, âYou like Mu Sijue?â
âMy feelings for Sijue are none of your business!â Auston said this provocatively with a tinge of annoying pride in his voice. âBut I didnât expect you to be sick. Xu Youning, you made Sijue so sad. This is your retribution!â
âWow, you really hate me so much. Oh, thatâs not right. You donât like women at all.â Xu Youning smiled disdainfully. âAuston, you almost deceived me.â
That day at the bar, many women were around Auston. He looked completely straight.
âHowever, he was interested in Mu Sijue!â
âDamn, it was lucky that Mu Sijue was not gay. Otherwise, Auston may really win Mu Sijue over with his handsome face.â
âWomen are stupid!â Auston laughed dismissively and said, âXu Youning, I donât care what disease you have. But donât try to think of receiving any excellent medical resources. Wait for Death to take you away!â
âLittle Auston, I think I should remind you that Mu Sijue wonât like you after I die or even if all the women in the world should disappear,â Xu Youning said in a concerned tone. But every word of hers was like a knife stabbing at Austonâs heart.
Auston cursed in his heart but he didnât make a sound.
Xu Youning continued to sprinkle salt on his wound, saying, âDid you ever consider a transsexual surgery? Ah, itâs useless because Mu Sijue likes the original taste.â
Auston didnât want to talk to them anymore.
Xu Youning thought that Auston couldnât make a sound because his lungs were about to explode!
She smiled and said, âYeah, Iâm sick and I might die. But it must irk you tremendously that you like Mu Sijue so much but you canât get him. Auston, youâre not better off than me. What right have you to laugh at me?â
Auston finally couldnât stand Xu Youningâs provocation any longer and hung up angrily.
Glancing at the phone that was now at the main screen, Xu Youning patted her hands as if she was dusting off dirt. She was in a good mood, not at all like a person on the verge of death.
She was okay if someone gave her a hard time.
However, she would make his life worse!
Ah Jin who stood aside sympathized with Auston in his heart.
He finally understood why Dongzi deliberately told him not to provoke Xu Youning.
They could not afford to offend her!
Dongzi nudged Ah Jin with his elbow and pretended to cough. Ah Jin soon realized what he meant and said, âBrother Cheng, Ms. Xu, weâll leave first.â
There was only Xu Youning and Kang Ruicheng in the big living room.
Seeing Kang Ruicheng frowning all the time, Xu Youning asked directly, âAre you doubting something?â
âWhy does Auston like Mu Sijue?â Kang Ruicheng looked confused. âTheyâre both men.â
âWho says a man canât like another man?â Xu Youning was not surprised. âLook at Dongzi and Ah Jin. They are always together these days. Maybe theyâve already become a couple. Auston disgusts me not because he is gay but because he took revenge on me in such an underhanded way.â
âForget it.â Kang Ruicheng gave up since he couldnât understand and he tried to get back to the key point. âLetâs talk about which hospital we should go.â
Xu Youningâs smile disappeared gradually. âActually, I have no hope of recovery. But Iâll see the doctors since you donât want to give up.â
âA Ning, I donât want to see you like this,â Kang Ruicheng said while looking intensely at Xu Youning. It was hard to tell whether he was dissatisfied or sympathized with Xu Youning.
Xu Youning shrugged and said, âIâm just facing the reality.â
Actually, Xu Youning was not sure if it was the reality...
