âBut Mr. Xu could be... wrongly accused.â The assistantâs voice got softer and softer.
âWrongly accused?â
Mo Jin said indifferently, âWhy would people accuse him out of nowhere? Itâs not as if they are crazy so there must have been a reason. My guess is, he got tired of playing around with Chu Lei and abandoned her. She was resentful and asked her son to take revenge on him. If Yi Jingxi isnât older than Luosang, I would suspect Yi Jingxi is his bastard.â
The assistant was dazed and thought that she made some sense.
âDrive to Xu Group so I can settle some old accounts and finish this early. I want to go to Xia City to meet that person, Nian Junting.â
...
An City Hospital.
Yi Jingxi leaned on the bed silently like a statue. Beside him, Lawyer Cao talked for a while, but he remained silent. Lawyer Cao involuntary frowned. âMr. Yi, have you heard what I said? I said, since you are hospitalized, try to stay longer so that the court delays the court session.â
âWhat are the odds of winning this case?â Yi Jingxi asked as he finally regained his senses.
âThe most troublesome thing is the recording, but rest assured, as long as you firmly deny it, Iâll come up with something.â
Just as Lawyer Cao finished, the door slammed open. Chu Lei panickily walked in. âJingxi, how are you? Youâve been injured. Why didnât you tell me about such a big thing? My goodness, who beat you up like this?â
âLeave us first.â Yi Jingxi glanced at Lawyer coolly.
Chu Lei caressed his face. His originally handsome face was now bruised all over and his lips were pale. She was angry on his behalf and her heart ached for him; her tears fell involuntarily. âDo you really want to worry me to death? Have you called the police? First that court case and now being hospitalized. Did Xu Luosang find someone to do this? I heard that she is with some rich man...â
âMother, how did you know about me being injured?â Yi Jingxi frowned, staring deeply at her wrinkled face.
If possible, he didnât want to suspect her. His mother raised him alone and suffered too much.
Chu Lei was taken aback. âSomeone sent me a message saying that you are hospitalized here, so I rushed over immediately.â
Yi Jingxiâs face changed slightly.
âWhat... whatâs wrong?â Chu Lei became unsettled looking at him.
âMother, I met Luosangâs mother, Mo Jin.â Yi Jingxi saw that Chu Leiâs expression had entirely changed when he was finished.
âShe... wasnât she missing for a long time?â Yi Jingxi blurted out.
âHow did you know that she was missing for a long time?â Yi Jingxi asked.
Chu Lei blinked. âNo... while Xu Zhengxuan was in jail, a reporter mentioned it. I didnât expect her to be back again. Thatâs... thatâs good. Has she reunited with her daughter?â
âIs that so?â Yi Jingxi frowned, watching her closely. âMother, Aunty Mo said... you once destroyed their family when you were young.â
âWhat nonsense youâre saying.â Chu Lei became angry as if someone stepped on her tail. âIâm your mother! How can you believe Mo Jinâs words? Mo Jin is not a decent woman, frequently going in and out of nightclubs, not even caring for her own child.â
âMother, you seem to know her quite well,â Yi Jingxi said astutely. âYou werenât classmates with her either, right?â
âWe werenât classmates, but back when I was doing research with Xu Zhengxuan, she was Xu Zhengxuanâs wife, so we naturally would meet often.â
