YRMD-81 Dog-eat-dog

The next day, the third day… Zhan had seen Carmen wander in front of Yibo’s ward.

Zhan didn’t bother to talk to Carmen, nor did he tell Yibo about it.

Zhan intuited that there was something strange. So, on the third day, he couldn’t hold back his curiosity and stopped Carmen.

“Ayi, let’s have a talk,” Zhan sincerely invited.

Carmen hesitated for a moment and then nodded, “Okay.”

Zhan and Carmen went to a coffee outside the hospital and sat down.

They ordered a mocha coffee and a cappuccino.

Zhan gently stirred the coffee with a spoon, held it, and took a sip, “Ayi, I’ll be straight. You have sent flowers and fruits at the door of Yibo’s ward for the past three days. Have you guys known each other for a long time?”

“No. I met him for the first time at the party last time. I came to see him for Shenhai. After all, they have contacts at work.” Carmen replied calmly and took a sip of her coffee after saying that.

“Ayi, if you came to see Yibo for Mr. Shenhai, why didn’t you come in, but put these things at the door and left quietly? If I hadn’t seen you, I wouldn’t have known you were here for Mr. Shenhai.” Zhan’s analysis was spot on, “Ayi, should I thank Mr. Shenhai?”

Carmen was hesitant as she grabbed the cup handle with one hand and stared at the smiling Zhan.

“Zhan, don’t worry, I will not hurt Yibo.”

This was the only thing she could say right now.

“Ayi, is there anything you can’t say to me?” Zhan reached out and took her hand.

“I have nothing to say.” Carmen withdrew her hand, “Zhan, I just hope you and Yibo to be happy forever.”

“Ayi, thank you.” It was beyond Zhan’s expectation that Carmen would hurt others.

“Then I will go now.” Carmen rose from the single sofa, “Just pretend I have never came over.”

Zhan looked at Carmen’s back as she left, thinking that things were definitely not that simple.

As Zhan returned to Yibo’s ward, he saw Yibo sitting in the couch, and there were several foreigners on his left.

They were discussing something. Yibo was talking to them in English easily.

Although he was wearing a blue and white hospital uniform, it did not detract from his aura.

Zhan nodded to the foreigners. He did not want to disturb them and was going to the bathroom to wash the fruit.

But Yibo took Zhan’s hand while he was taking the fruit, and introduced to the foreigners, “This is my wife.”

He said this with a proud expression.

“Mrs. Wang, nice to meet you.” These men were polite.

“Nice to meet you, guys.” Zhan lightly struggled, “You guys go on, and I’ll go wash the fruit.”

“They are the brain specialists I invited to consult Grandpa. They will work with Dr. Gray’s team. I believe Grandpa will be safe and sound.” Yibo had made an appointment to meet with these specialists a long time ago. He just didn’t expect he would be injured and hospitalized.

The sooner Grandpa’s illness was treated, the better. So, although he was injured, Yibo insisted on meeting with the specialists to discuss it.

“But you haven’t recovered.” Zhan felt that Yibo was too worried. He was so lucky to have Yibo.

“In the evening, you can check if I recover.” Yibo approached and whispered in Zhan’s ear.

These flirtatious words made bashful Zhan blush, His face was as beautiful as the rosy clouds.

Zhan glared at Yibo who did not behave himself in such an occasion. If it wasn’t for their inability to understand what Yibo was talking and Yibo’s charming voice, Zhan would have been so embarrassed to dig a hole to bury himself.

Zhan broke away from his hand and took the fruit to the bathroom to wash it.

“Mrs. Wang is so beautiful and nice.”

“Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang are an affectionate couple.”

Their praise satisfied Yibo, Zhan was his wife and he would be glad if others praised him.

Zhan washed the fruit and then quietly stayed there until they finished talking and the foreigners were escorted by Fanxing.

Yibo got up from the sofa and went to the round table where Zhan was sitting by the window.

“What are you thinking?” Yibo raised Zhan’s chin with his long fingers.

“Are you done? Then you should get some rest.” Zhan pulled his hand down.

“Grandpa’s surgery is in a week.” Yibo took his hand, “Are you worried about Grandpa?”

“Of course I’m worried.” Zhan was indeed a little scared because he didn’t think he could face losing Grandpa.

“If Grandpa doesn’t operate, his health will get worse and worse.” Yibo knew what Zhan was worrying, “I respect your every decision. I’ll be with you no matter what happens.”

“I was thinking of whether to tell Grandpa about his condition. After all, it’s his business. He has the right to decide his life. But…”

Zhan paused, “If Grandpa doesn’t agree to the surgery, I’m afraid he won’t live long. But I selfishly want him to live longer….”

“I know it’s a difficult choice. But anyway, he does have the right to know everything about himself, and has the right to decide his life.” Yibo held Zhan’s shoulders, “Zhan, be strong. Grandpa is over seventy years old. He has experienced a lot and will not be knocked down by such a small difficulty.”

Zhan thought that Yibo’s words made sense.

“If you can’t say it, then I’ll do it for you.” Yibo would go to any length for Zhan.

“Let’s go together.” Zhan said.

“OK.”

Having made this decision, Zhan and Yibo chose a right time to go to Fengmian’s ward and tell him about his condition.

Fengmian accepted it calmly after hearing about it and was not emotional.

He just looked at Zhan with red eyes and smiled, “Boy, don’t be like this. Dying is as natural as living. I am at such an old age. Don’t be too sad.”

“Grandpa…” Zhan naturally could not let go of Fengmian.

“Zhan, don’t blame Grandpa for being selfish. I know you are a nice boy. But I don’t want to have this surgery at such an old age. If I cannot survive from the operating, then I won’t even have time to say goodbye to you at last.”

“Grandpa, you’ll be fine.” Zhan comforted Fengmian as well as himself.

Yibo held his shoulders, silently supporting and comforting him.

Fengmian also knew Zhan was comforting him. But he was calm and wasn’t sad and worried at all.

“Zhan, I am glad to see that you and Yibo are together and have a happy family. Knowing that I have a lovely great-granddaughter, I feel satisfied. At my age, it does not matter and I feel no regrets.”

Fengmian’s words made Zhan’s eyes even redder. He wanted to cry.

“Zhan, don’t cry. I am really fine. Your Grandma has gone so many years. I have seen this world more than her. I’ve lived alone for so many years and want to go and stay with her. This time, I can do what I want to do.”

“Grandpa, but I am loath to part with you.” Zhan held Fengmian’s hand.

“Me too. But in life, give to get. So, Zhan, don’t be sad, I am fine. It’s really good to have you guys with me. I just want to face everything happily and calmly. Zhan, forgive me.” Fengmian was open-minded and comforted Zhan.

Zhan looked down and raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

Fengmian’s decision to forgo surgery meant that his health would get worse and worse. He might collapse at any time.

Zhan didn’t want to face such a thing and the parting.

“Grandpa, don’t say that.” Although Zhan wanted Fengmian to accept the surgery to have a higher chance of survival, he also knew that Fengmian had his own ideas.

“Grandpa, I am really loath to part with you. But since you have decided to do so, then I respect your decision.” Zhan endured the pain and struggle inside, and respected

Fengmian’s decision. “Good boy.” Fengmian smiled happily and turned to Yibo, extending his wrinkled hand.

Yibo put his hand out. Fengmian took Zhan’s hand and placed it in Yibo’s palm.

“Yibo, if I die, please take good care of Zhan. I am very relieved to leave him to you. I just hope he can be happy forever.”

“Grandpa, making him happy forever is my goal in this life. Don’t worry. As long as I am with him, I will never let him cry for sadness.”

Yibo looked at Zhan beside him, his eyes full of tenderness. Zhan also looked at him.

Although his lover was at his side and Zhan was now very happy, he still did not want his relative to die. It was really painful.

Fengmian was relieved, “Yibo, Zhan is a kind-hearted boy. But he is also capricious sometimes. I hope you can tolerate him and never give up on him. He will be a good wife. Don’t worry about that. I promise.”

“Grandpa, I believe in you, I believe in Zhan’s character and my vision.” Yibo grabbed Zhan’s fingers, “Grandpa, I know even if you do not say so.”

“That’s good. Then I can set my mind at rest,” Fengmian nodded and was relieved, “So when can I be discharged from the hospital? I want to go home and stay with your Grandma.”

“Grandpa, we have to ask the doctor about that.”

“Okay. Then you guys go ask the doctor. I don’t want to stay in the hospital anymore. It’s better to be at home. Let’s go home…” Fengmian seemed a little tired and closed his eyes.

Zhan looked at Fengmian with red eyes. He didn’t want to say anything else to worry Fengmian.

“Grandpa, you get some rest.” Yibo helped Zhan, who was biting his lip to hold back his tears, and quietly went out of the ward.

Yibo took Zhan’s shoulder and they walked for some time. Then, Zhan could no longer hold back and turned into Yibo’s arms, beginning to cry.

Yibo let him cry and vent the upset and sadness by crying.

Zhan’s tears stained Yibo’s clothes. There was a patch of water stain. But Zhan, who had vented his emotions, was calmer now.

When he looked up from Yibo’s arms, Yibo could see that his eyes were a little red and swollen, which were seductive and charming.

If this wasn’t a hospital, Yibo felt he couldn’t resist throwing him onto the bed and torturing him severely.

Yibo held his face and gently wiped away the tears on his face with his fingertips, his tone gentle and doting, “Don’t cry. Grandpa doesn’t want to see you cry, and I don’t want you to cry either. You look beautiful when you smile.”

“Since Grandpa has made this decision, we will respect him and let him have no regrets. Since Grandpa’s days are numbered, we should spend the rest of the day with him with a smile at least. Let him remember your smile, so that he can be relieved.”

“We also have to do our best to fulfill all of Grandpa’s wishes and let him have no regrets. That’s what we should do now.”

“You are right. I’ll listen to you.” Since this was what Fengmian wanted, they should respect him. As long as Fengmian was happy, Zhan was willing to do whatever he could do, “Then you invite those foreign experts for nothing, right?”

“I don’t think so. Although Grandpa won’t be operated on, they can offer other plans to let Grandpa live longer and relieve his pain.” Yibo reached out and rubbed the bridge of Zhan’s nose.

“Yibo, thank you for everything you’ve done for me and for Grandpa.”

“Do you want to repay me?” Yibo raised his eyebrows slightly and came closer to Zhan, “Then let’s have another baby.”

“…” Zhan widened his bright eyes in shock.

Did he have to talk like that? Words failed Zhan.

“What do you think?” Yibo pumped him.

“Why do you want to have another child? Don’t you like Fei? I think it is enough for us to have Fei.” Zhan had never considered to have another child. When Yibo brought it up again and again, he had to answer.

“Fei is too lonely. If we have another child, they can play and grow up together. When we’re gone, they will be the closest people to each other in the world. They can help and support each other and won’t be bullied, right? They also will not be alone because of our death. And there is another important reason…”

“What is it?” Zhan was curious.

Yibo’s eyes met Zhan’s expectant gaze. He put his hands on Zhan’s shoulders, “The most important thing is that I wasn’t around to take care of you when you were pregnant and gave birth to Fei. I wasn’t involved in Fei’ growth, leaving her without a father for so many years. I feel so sorry and guilty.”

“Fei’ birth was an accident. As her parents, we owe it to her. I think we can have another child this time, who will be born in our expectation and love. I will be with you and watch him be born, and do what a husband and a father should do. I want to make up for the regret.”

“It was my fault to scheme against you back then. I let Fei lose too much and carry too much. So, I hope we can love her with all our hearts. If we have another child, then we’ll have to give him a part of our love for Fei. Wouldn’t that be unfair to Fei?”

Zhan didn’t want to divide their love for Fei.

“Why? They’re both our children. We all love them.” Yibo stroked Zhan’s soft hair, “The past is over. Don’t blame yourself anymore.”

“But I’m afraid when Fei knows that we will have another child, she might think it’s because she is not good, or we don’t love her anymore. I don’t want her to think that way.” Zhan was torn.

“We’ll tell her the situation and tell her that Mommy and Daddy love her no matter what. I also don’t want her to be hurt anyway.” Yibo thought Zhan was worrying too much, “Then let’s ask Fei if she wants a brother or sister. If she does, we’ll listen to her.”

Zhan could no longer find a reason to refuse and escape, “Let’s talk about it later.”

“Mrs. Wang, you’re so evasive.” Yibo stopped pushing him hard and let nature take its course.

***

Yibo and Fengmian were discharged from the hospital together and returned to Cloud Recesses Community.

Zhan stayed with Fengmian, while Yibo and Fanxing went upstairs and into the study.

“How’s it going with Hepeng?” Yibo sat on the couch.

“Mr. Yibo, Hepeng still hasn’t disclosed that Lingjiao is behind the scenes.” Fanxing stood quietly there, looking down in fear.

Yibo narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted, “He’s really stubborn.”

“So what should we do now?” Fanxing was waiting for Yibo’s instructions.

“Tell me about Lingjiao’s latest situation.” Yibo had just reached for the kettle when Fanxing had picked it up and poured water for him first.

He picked up the glass of water and respectfully handed it to Yibo. Yibo took a sip and looked at him.

“Mr. Yibo, Lingjiao is not only intact, but also has been taken to his place by Darren. Darren comes home on time from work every day, while Lingjiao is at home. They seem to have made up.” Fanxing reported the situation briefly, but had doubts inside.

“I can’t understand what Darren is thinking. It is well-known that Lingjiao has cuckolded him. He has chosen to divorce and kicked Lingjiao out of the Jin family. Why did he take her back now? it is still unsure whether the child in Lingjiao’s belly is his. What has Lingjiao done to him?”

“There must be a reason for that, but it’s definitely not what you’re talking about.”

“I don’t think it’s possible either. What can make Darren accept Lingjiao again and protect her? Mr. Jiyang has taught Lingjiao a lesson for Mr. Zhan before. Isn’t Darren also infatuated with Mr. Zhan and is your biggest rival in love…” Fanxing felt the glare from Yibo and stopped.

Yibo looked at him coldly, “Does he deserve to be my rival? Don’t think that since he told me Zhan was in danger this time, I can tolerate him protecting Lingjiao. I’d like to see how long he can protect Lingjiao.”

“So should we do something?” Fanxing asked.

“No. I already have a good candidate.” Yibo smiled and already had the plan.

“Mr. Yibo, we can’t get Lingjiao convicted now. But we can make Hepeng stay in jail forever.” Fanxing suggested, “If you have no other opinion, then I will do this as soon as possible. We definitely cannot let him go easily.”

“No. The person I’m talking about to deal with Lingjiao is Hepeng.” Yibo rubbed the handle of his cup and had his plan.

“Hepeng?” Fanxing thought he had heard wrong. “He was even unwilling to disclose Lingjiao. How could he listen to us to deal with Lingjiao? Mr. Yibo, it is too good for Hepeng to let him go easily. Please let me deal with Hepeng. We have other ways to make Lingjiao punished.”

“Are you questioning my decision?”

“Absolutely not. I just think this is a great opportunity. The evidence is certain. If we let Hepeng go…”

“Let him go? That’s not my style. It’s too good for him if we keep him in jail. I’ll make them dog-eat-dog. That will be wonderful, right?” Yibo seemed to have watched the good show.

“Mr. Yibo, you intend to use Hepeng to deal with Lingjiao. This is great indeed.” Fanxing was just a little worried, “But Hepeng is so obedient to Lingjiao… I am afraid he won’t do as we ask.”

“Hepeng refuses to disclose Lingjiao because he loves her and even the child in Lingjiao’s belly is his. So, he chose to bear all the charges himself to keep Lingjiao out of jail, so that she can give birth to the child. He thinks that when he is released from prison later, he will have a child who calls him father. But if it was Lingjiao who broke all his dreams, what do you think he would do?”

“When a man suffers betrayal and is in despair and has nothing, do you think he will not avenge himself?”

Yibo’s eyes gradually became harsh and stern, “So, I will let Hepeng go first. Then, I will let him see with his own eyes the happy life of Lingjiao and Darren and let him know that Lingjiao cheated him and betrayed him. Then, we’ll add fuel. I’m sure they’ll implode.”

“In this way, we don’t have to think of other ways and use other people. Isn’t it good?”

“Mr. Yibo is wise. The love-hate relationship between them will be solved by them.” Fanxing admired this way Yibo said.

“Then let’s do that, Release Hepeng as soon as possible. The good show is just beginning.” Yibo chuckled, as if everything was in his clutches.
