Chapter 762: 750
Who would have thought, just after they left, Qin Mengshu would come again.
The butler felt a headache just seeing her, "Miss Qin."
"Mm." Qin Mengshu was completely unaware of her unwelcome presence, glanced upstairs, "Is my sister upstairs? I’ll go see her!"
"Hey..." The butler frowned but still couldn’t stop her.
"Sister." Familiar with the place, Qin Mengshu entered Helian Shuang’s room.
Helian Shuang barely recognized people anymore. She stared at Qin Mengshu for a long time in silence before turning her gaze outside the window.
"..." Qin Mengshu was taken aback, her expression somewhat unnatural, but still smiled as she approached, "Sister, what are you looking at?"
"Flowers..." Helian Shuang pointed to the garden outside.
"Oh..." Qin Mengshu nodded, thinking to herself, has she really gone mad? This was good. She used to worry that Helian Si’s sister was too imposing, that marrying into the family would mean a life of hardship, but now that worry was gone.
Her eyes flickered as she picked up the remote control on the coffee table, "Sister, shall we watch Ah Si?"
"..." Helian Shuang reacted to the mention of Ah Si.
She clapped her hands immediately, smiling, "Yes, yes! Ah Si, watch Ah Si!"
"Ha." Qin Mengshu curved her lips into a smile and turned on the TV.
There would be a live broadcast of the Cabinet meeting today; it should be quite exciting...
The TV screen flickered on, and the first thing seen was Yu Sangwan, the Cabinet’s press spokesperson.
Yu Sangwan was dressed in a uniform, her hair in a bun, with a professional smile, delivering a speech...
Qin Mengshu squinted her eyes towards Helian Shuang, who initially stared blankly, then covered her ears and started to scream, "Ah! She, she... she’s still there!"
"Sister, sister?" Qin Mengshu feigned surprise, "Who are you talking about? Who is she?"
Helian Shuang was too scared to speak, her body trembling uncontrollably, pointing shakily at the TV screen, "She, she..."
"Her?" Qin Mengshu feigned realization, "Sister, you mean her! She’s reporter Yu, she’s working beside Ah Si now, and not only that... She’s living at Guan Chao, and I heard, she’s going to marry Ah Si in the future!"
"Ah!" Helian Shuang reacted as if she heard something terrifying, her screams intensifying, shaking her head desperately, "No, no!"
Pleased with her reaction, Qin Mengshu continued to provoke, "Sister, what don’t you want? Don’t want her? Well, you have no say in this! Ah Si likes her very much, and now the entire inner court of Guan Chao is under her say, including what you eat, wear, and use."
"Ah..."
Helian Shuang suddenly sprang up from the sofa, rushing out without care.
"Sister, where are you going?" Qin Mengshu called out but did not stop her, "Run! Driving Yu Sangwan away relies on you! Madwoman!"
The butler saw Helian Shuang rushing down and hurriedly tried to stop her, but Helian Shuang was already running out barefooted!
"Miss!"
"Quick, chase her!"
"Inform the President!"
...
On Helian Si’s side, he received the news, and the meeting had to be temporarily interrupted as he hurried to the inner court.
On the way, he encountered Helian Shuang, disheveled and emotional.
"Sister!"
"Ah Si!" Helian Shuang rushed over, grabbing onto Helian Si tightly, immediately spotting Yu Sangwan behind him, "Her, no! Not in the inner court! No marriage!"
She was anxious, her words precise enough to leave Helian Si and Yu Sangwan at a loss.
Helian Si glanced at Yu Sangwan, "Sister, she is Wanwan, my wife... She is a good person. We will live together in the future, she will be good to you, care for you, and show respect to you..."
"No, no!"
Helian Shuang screamed, her voice piercing, as if she might faint at any moment!
Helian Si couldn’t bear it, holding her, "Sister, I beg you! Don’t do this! Wanwan is my wife, I can’t drive her away!"
Helian Shuang’s past actions were unforgivable, but he was at a loss... how could he ever do something like driving Wanwan away again? Whether from emotions or ethics, if he did that, would he still be human?
"All of you, quiet down!"
A sudden low roar came from up front. Everyone fell silent, looking toward the sound.
Ahead, there was the sound of a cane hitting the ground.
Helian Si was startled, his Adam’s apple rolling instinctively... it was Helian Wei!
"Hmph."
Helian Wei approached, glancing around before fixing his gaze on Helian Si, coldly shaking his head, "You, follow me!"
Helian Si felt a chill in his heart, sensing something bad was coming.
He squeezed Yu Sangwan’s hand; Yu Sangwan squeezed back firmly, mouthing, "I’m okay."
But they both knew inside, with Helian Wei’s return, was it really okay?
Only feared...
In the study.
"Cough, cough." Helian Wei covered his mouth, coughing a few times, "You, do you think because I’m old, you can now control everything?"
Helian Si frowned, "I wouldn’t dare."
"Hmph." Helian Wei sneered, "I raised you, do you think I’m unaware of your thoughts? Helian Si, is there something I need to remind you of? However you became who you are now, you must continue on this path!"
Helian Si paused, silently... he knew this well.
Helian Wei coughed a few more times, his tone softened. "Ah Si, your mother had it hard... She didn’t become like this by choice. Even when your father betrayed her back then, she still raised that child as her own!"
He paused, sighing, "Just, no one expected, they kept in contact! This humiliation, any woman couldn’t bear it, you... are her only hope! Do you know how much effort she put in for you?"
"..." Helian Si remained silent, he couldn’t recall, but he could imagine and understand.
Helian Wei added, "She might have a thousand faults, but she’s still your mother, everything she did was for your good! She hopes you can live better than anyone, she hopes you can rise above others!"
Helian Si lowered his eyes, still silent.
"Sigh." Helian Wei had to be blunt, "That Yu Sangwan, the two of you should separate! I’ve consulted about your mother’s illness, it’s probably incurable... Do you want to see her living in constant fear forever? In this world, women are easy to find, but the mother who gave birth to you, there’s only one!"
Helian Si’s chest tightened, his thin lips parting slightly, wanting to say... in this world, there’s only one Wanwan too!
No matter how many people he meets in the future, none of them will be Wanwan...
"Sigh..." Helian Wei knew he couldn’t get through to him for now, waved his hand, "Go! I’ve arranged for a doctor to treat your mother, go have a look!"
"Mm." Helian Si nodded slightly and exited the study.
After leaving the study, Helian Si’s steps instinctively turned towards Helian Shuang’s room.
In the room, a new expert was treating Helian Shuang.
