Chapter 140 A True Confession
After listening to Xiang Mei's story, Dr. Chen frowned and fell into deep thought. After a long silence, she slowly said, "Have you ever thought that maybe the purpose of this letter is to make you leave Xiang Yu and leave this family?"
Xiang Mei was stunned. She had never thought about this question before.
"Think about it, this letter came at a great time, just when your relationship with Yan Jin was improving." Doctor Chen continued, "Moreover, the sender did not mention anything about asking you to hand over the child, but only asked you to leave Xiang Yu. Isn't this strange?"
Xiang Mei felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe. Could it really be that all this was just a conspiracy?
"The most important thing for you now is to stay calm and not let this letter affect your judgment." Dr. Chen held her hand and said firmly, "You need to find the sender and find out the truth."
"But I don't know how to check. I don't even know who wants to harm me," Xiang Mei said helplessly.
"You can try to start with the envelope and the letter paper to see if you can find some clues." Doctor Chen suggested, "Also, you can tell Yan Jin about this and ask her to help you find a solution."
Xiang Mei hesitated, worried that telling Yan Jin would only make things worse.
"Believe me, Yan Jin is stronger and more rational than you think." Doctor Chen seemed to see through her thoughts, "Besides, this matter also concerns her family. She will not sit idly by."
Xiang Mei finally made up her mind. She called Yan Jin and said in a trembling voice, "Yan Jin, can you come to the hospital? I have something very important to tell you."
An hour later, Yan Jin rushed to the hospital. Looking at Xiang Mei's pale face and red and swollen eyes, she felt a little uneasy. "What happened?"
Xiang Mei took a deep breath and handed the anonymous letter to Yan Jin.
Yan Jin took the letter, read it carefully, and his brows gradually relaxed.
Seeing Yan Jin's expression, Xiang Mei's heart became even more uneasy. "Don't you believe me?"
"No," Yan Jin shook his head and looked at her firmly, "I believe you."
These three short words were like a warm current that instantly melted the ice in Xiang Mei's heart.
"I..." Xiang Mei choked and wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.
"Just say whatever you want to say, I'm listening." Yan Jin said gently.
Xiang Mei mustered up the courage to tell Yan Jin about the fear and helplessness she felt after receiving the anonymous letter, as well as her inner struggle and torment.
"So, you want to..." Yan Jin listened quietly without interrupting her.
"I am willing to leave Xiang Yu for the safety of my children and family." Xiang Mei bit her lip and said this with difficulty. "Leave?" Yan Jin repeated these two words, but there was no surprise in her eyes, as if she had expected it. She gently placed the letter on the bedside table, and her tone was so calm that no emotion could be heard, "Do you think leaving can solve the problem?"
Xiang Mei was stunned. She had never thought about this question. After receiving the letter, she had only one thought in her mind, which was to protect the child's safety at all costs. Leaving seemed to be the only way out.
"The purpose of this letter is not only to make you leave Xiang Yu," Yan Jin paused, looking at Xiang Mei sharply, "but also to create a rift between you and Xiang Yu, and eventually break up."
Xiang Mei's heart was shocked. She had never thought things would be so complicated.
"Think carefully, isn't the timing of this letter's appearance too coincidental?" Yan Jin guided Xiang Mei, "Your relationship with Xiang Yu had just eased, and this letter appeared. It's clear that they want to take advantage of the situation and destroy the trust between you."
Xiang Mei thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed as Yan Jin said, the appearance of this letter was too strange.
"Besides, the letter didn't mention anything about asking you to hand over the child, it just asked you to leave Xiang Yu. Isn't that strange?" Yan Jin continued, "If their target is the child, why don't they just threaten you to hand over the child, but go through so much trouble?"
Xiang Mei was completely panicked. She had never thought about these questions and just blindly fell into fear.
"So, you can't leave," Yan Jin held her hand and said firmly, "If you leave, you will fall into their trap."
"But, the safety of the child..." Xiang Mei was still worried.
"We will protect the child," Yan Jin interrupted her, her eyes full of confidence, "Don't worry, we won't let anyone hurt him."
Xiang Mei looked at Yan Jin's determined eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that Yan Jin really wanted to help her and protect her child.
"Thank you, Yan Jin," Xiang Mei's eyes were moist again, "I really don't know what to do, luckily I have you..."
"We are family, aren't we?" Yan Jin gently hugged Xiang Mei and gave her strength.
Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Xiang Yu walked in angrily, followed by Doctor Chen who looked anxious.
"Who is it? Who wants to hurt my family?!"
Xiang Yu rushed into the ward angrily, followed by Dr. Chen who looked anxious. Seeing Xiang Mei's red and swollen eyes, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He grabbed her shoulders and said anxiously, "Who is it? Who wants to hurt my family?!"
Sister Xiang looked at her brother with tears in her eyes, feeling mixed emotions. She trembled as she handed the anonymous letter to Xiang Yu, choking and saying, "Brother, someone wants to hurt the child..."
Xiang Yu took the letter, quickly read it, and his face suddenly became terribly gloomy. The content of the letter was extremely vicious. Not only did it fabricate an incestuous relationship between him and Xiang Mei, but it also threatened to take the child away. He tightly grasped the letter, veins on the back of his hand bulged, and his anger almost burned out his reason.
"Who is it?!" he asked through gritted teeth, his voice as low as a roar from hell.
Yan Jin walked forward and gently patted Xiang Yu on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down. She told Xiang Yu the whole story and analyzed the purpose of the mastermind behind it.
"This bunch of despicable villains!" Xiang Yu was furious, "I will never let them go!"
He immediately called his assistant and mobilized all resources to investigate the matter. At the same time, he contacted the police and asked them to intervene in the investigation and bring the mastermind to justice.
With Xiang Yu's vigorous actions, the police quickly locked in the suspect - Zhao Tianming, the president of the Zhao Group, a competitor of the Xiang Group. Zhao Tianming had always been eyeing the Xiang Group, and in order to annex the Xiang Group, he would do anything, even resorting to such despicable means.
The police found the draft of the anonymous letter in Zhao Tianming's office, as well as some other evidence that could prove his crime. Faced with overwhelming evidence, Zhao Tianming had no choice but to plead guilty.
After learning the truth, Xiang Yu's anger subsided a little. He hugged his sister tightly and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, it's my brother who failed to protect you..."
Xiang Mei shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes again. She knew that none of this was her brother's fault.
Looking at the scene of the brother and sister hugging each other, Yan Jin smiled with relief. She believed that after this incident, the relationship between Xiang Yu and Xiang Mei would become even deeper.
However, before she could open her mouth to speak, Xiang Mei suddenly turned around and looked at her with complicated eyes...
Before Yan Jin could get out of his thoughts, he met Xiang Mei's complicated eyes. Xiang Mei took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I was wrong before, I was obsessed and listened to the instigation of others, so I did those things that hurt you and the child. I know I was wrong now, can you... can you forgive me?"
Yan Jin looked at the girl who used to be willful and capricious, but now was full of guilt, and felt mixed emotions. The scenes of her being hurt flashed through her mind, and the grievance, anger, and disappointment surged into her heart again.
The ward was silent, with only the slight ticking of the instruments and the suppressed breathing of the people. Xiang Yu clenched his fists nervously, his eyes moving back and forth between Yan Jin and Xiang Mei, his heart filled with worry and expectation.
Doctor Chen patted Xiang Mei's hand and said softly, "Ms. Yan, I know you have suffered a lot, but my sister is not a bad person. She just made a mistake because she was blinded. Now she has deeply realized her mistakes and sincerely regretted them. I hope you can give her a chance to make a new beginning."
Yan Jin's eyes fell on Xiang Mei's face. The eyes that were once full of hostility were now filled with regret and pleading. She knew that Xiang Mei was truly repentant, and she didn't want to let the family fall into division again because of the past.
Thinking of this, Yan Jin took a deep breath, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She walked to Xiang Mei, gently held her hand, and said softly: "Let the past be the past. I don't blame you. I just hope that you can cherish this hard-earned family relationship in the future."
"Sister-in-law..." Xiang Mei's tears welled up in her eyes. She held Yan Jin's hand tightly, choking with sobs and unable to speak.
Yan Jin gently hugged Xiang Mei, as if comforting a lost child. At this moment, all the estrangement and resentment disappeared, replaced by deep affection and warmth.
Xiang Yu looked at this touching scene and finally felt relieved. He walked forward, hugged Yan Jin and Xiang Mei together, and said in a low and firm voice: "From now on, our family will never be separated again."
The sun shines through the window into the ward, shining on the three people hugging each other, giving them a layer of golden light. After experiencing the baptism of wind and rain, their feelings have become more indestructible, and it has also laid a solid foundation for their future happy life.
