Chapter 776: Chapter 776 - Xiao Si Almost Died from Anger

Chu Lei lowered her head, held his hands and said, “Stop talking about Mo Jin. Hearing about her and her family can really make me uncomfortable. Tell me about your injury. How many days do you have to stay in the hospital? Who did this to you? Have you called the police?”

“I didn’t call the police,” Yi Jingxi turned his face away and spoke flatly.

“Why not?” Chu Lei said, choked with emotion, “Look how badly you’re injured.”

Yi Jingxi didn’t want to say anything.

He felt as if part of his heart was missing.

“I’m calling the police now,” Chu Lei said, as he stayed silent. Chu Lei turned and walked toward the door.

“Don’t,” Yi Jingxi reached out a hand to try to stop her, but as soon as he moved, his wounds hurt so much that he even felt as his internal organs were falling apart. He couldn’t even remain sitting, but fell back on the bed.

“You’re injured so badly. You mustn’t move,” Chu Lei’s heart ached so much that she even shed tears. “You know who did this to you, don’t you? You just don’t want to tell me about it.”

“I did this to myself. It’s exactly what I deserve,” Yi Jingxi smiled bitterly. “I beg you, don’t call the police. I’m still involved in a lawsuit now...”

Hearing about the lawsuit, Chu Lei’s face paled. “Is there a chance that you might lose?”

“I don’t know,” Yi Jingxi closed his eyes and said quietly, “Last year I purchased some properties abroad under your name. If I lose the lawsuit, you should sell those properties and use the money to live...”

“No!” Chu Lei cried. “You’re my only son. If you went to prison, my life would be meaningless. Years ago, I told you not to scheme against Xu Zhengxuan. Why didn’t you listen to me? Now what...”

“Saying these things now won’t change anything.” A deeply pained look flashed across Yi Jingxi’s fine features.

If he had a second chance, he wouldn’t do the same.

But of course, there was no way back.

Chu Lei let go of his hands, then bent over, covered her face and cried with a dry voice, “This is wrong...”

“I can’t let you go to prison. That’s your lawyer, right? I’m going to talk to him,” Chu Lei abruptly stood up and quickly walked out.

“Mom,” Yi Jingxi cried, but he couldn’t stop her.

He struggled for a while, then finally lay back down. After spending a while gazing at the ceiling, he struggled to grab his phone from the nightstand, then dialed a number. “Check on my mother’s classmates for me... They’re all Xu Zhengxuan’s students. Try to find out what the relationship between him and my mother was like.”

“Haven’t we already done that?” The person on the other end of the line replied with confusion.

“I want more specific details.” After ending the call, Yi Jingxi turned to the window, hoping that what Mo Jin said wasn’t true.

If all he knew was fake, he would...

He shook his head. He didn’t dare to keep imagining.

...

Lousang returned to Xia City. The summer vacation had already begun. Yan Su wasn’t living in the apartment, so she moved to Tianhu Villa.

Nian Junting left early in the morning for Shengting. He had stayed in An City for a couple of days, so lots of work had been waiting for him at the company.

In the morning, he attended a staff meaning. After he returned to his office, the senior managers visited him in the office, one after another. When Xiao Si got there it was already about noon.

“I haven’t had a meal with you for a long time. Shall we?” He said.

“What? Did you miss me? I’m sorry, ever since I got back together with Luosang, I nearly forgot about you when I’m not at work.”

Xiao Si almost died with anger. Did he ever say that he missed him? He was only inviting him for lunch, and that was all.

“I need to talk to you about something,” he said.
