If We Cannot Grow Old Together

Xia Wanyan is still designing a bigger lie to patch up this one, but Li Qiaosheng takes actions faster than she.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Previously, Li Qiaosheng totally believed what Wanyan had said. He just listened to her tearful complaints without investigating the specific situation in which she fell off the building. Xia Wanyan said that because of her intimate relationship with Qiaosheng after his marriage, Mu Ziyou was very unhappy. So Mu Ziyou asked her out to have a talk. But they didn’t end up well and Mu Ziyou pushed her down from the rooftop in a rage.

Since Xia Wanyan pretended to be sick first, Li Qiaosheng feels OK to have someone check the surveillance video of that day.

The angle of surveillance camera is not quite direct, but it is clear enough for him to see the actual scene. He can see in the video that they were in a dispute. Suddenly Xia Wanyan herself got onto the platform and then turned and jumped!

How could it be like this?

Li Qiaosheng freezes the video at the scene when Xia Wanyan turned and jumped. Still he cannot believe she could have done this.

After Xia Wanyan woke up she got into his embrace and pointed at Mu Ziyou, complaining, “Youyou, why can’t you talk with me peacefully? You have changed! Why are you so mean to me? I don’t want to take Qiaosheng away from you. If you don’t want to see me, then, then I will leave…”

At that time, Mu Ziyou was apparently stunned at her words and wanted to explain, but he interrupted her arbitrarily and told her to get out of the ward.

After hearing that Xia Wanyan had lost too much blood and had been detected to have the rare Rh-negative blood, Mu Ziyou proposed to draw blood from her because she has the very same blood type. At that time, he thought that she was feeling sorry for what she had done to Wanyan.

But now, it seems that Wanyan has changed to another person whom he cannot recognize any more.

“As for Ziyou, I did have wronged her…” Li Qiaosheng says to himself.

Thinking of this, Li Qiaosheng remembers something else. He then calls the hospital. “Where is Mu Ziyou? How did you deal with my wife after her death?”

“Oh, Mr. Li. Mrs. Li had been unclaimed for several days after her death until Dr. Qin Yang, who resigned from our hospital, took her away and put her to earth in the name of her brother. If you need the specific site, you can ask him.”

Unclaimed?

Although he has been busy with his mother’s burial matters and his own work in the past few days and has forgotten to go and sign the death notice, he has been waiting for the hospital’s notice. “Why didn’t you call me?”

“We did. It seems to be answered by… Oh, by Miss Xia. She said that you had been divorced and let us dispose of it on our own.”

Huh, what on earth is Xia Wanyan planning?

After getting Qin Yang’s contact information, Li Qiaosheng calls him immediately. But the phone isn’t answered.

When he is about to redial, he receives a call from Xia Wanyan. This time, Li’s tone is not so gentle as before. He asks indifferently, “What’s up?”

“Brother Qiaosheng, my incurable anemia can be cured now! The doctor said that he had helped me find the matching bone marrow and I can have a bone marrow transplant right away! The success rate of the operation is quite high. As long as it succeeds, I will be able to live like a normal person in the future!” Xia Wanyan at the other end tells him the “good news” with great enthusiasm without noticing his different attitude.

After hearing this, Li’s brows slightly knitted together. Huh, bone marrow transplantation? You intend to go on making up stories?

“You found the matching bone marrow so soon? My examination report has just come out and I am going to tell you… Since Mu Ziyou is dead, you can’t drag on with your disease like this. What if there is no blood for you to draw one day? Fortunately, my bone marrow also matches yours. Don’t bother others. Just use mine.”

Xia Yanyan didn’t expect that Qiaosheng also considered bone marrow transplant. It is such a big surprise! But… the bone marrow transplant is just a lie.

She cannot let Qiaosheng take such a risk. After thinking for a moment, Xia Yanyan bursts into a cry and says, “Brother Qiaosheng, you are so kind to me! But, no! I’ve known about your kindness but I cannot accept your bone marrow donation. What if the donation causes some harm to your original healthy body? Brother Qiaosheng, it’s OK for me to use the bone marrow I have already found. I need not change to use yours. ”

“How can I be relieved if you use others’ bone marrow? Wanyan, you don’t have to be so polite with me. It is Mu Ziyou who made you like this. As her husband, I’m supposed to pay you back for her. You may just take it this way.”

After saying this, Li Qiaosheng hangs up the phone abruptly.

He wants to see how on earth Xia Wanyan will be able to continue keeping the secret of the fact of her faked disease.
