Chapter 496 Critical Illness
Nuannuan had been gone for more than ten minutes when Xie Yansheng called again.
He tentatively asked Wen Lan if she could go to the hospital to see Xie's mother for the last time.
Wen Lan was stunned for a moment, frowning: "Sister Yun has taken Nuannuan to the hospital, so I won't go."
"Mom just called your name when she was awake--" Xie Yansheng's tone was faint and full of sadness on the other end of the phone, "She has been strong all her life, but she has many regrets in this life--"
In Wen Lan's heart, Xie's mother was strong and domineering, and she was high above everyone else. Even if there were regrets, they could not have anything to do with her.
But Xie Yansheng's melancholy sighs kept ringing in her ears. In less than half a minute, she said against her conscience, "I'll go to the hospital right away."
"Thank you, Lanlan." Xie Yansheng breathed a sigh of relief.
She went to the hospital to see Xie's mother for the last time, not to fulfill Xie's mother, but to not make Xie Yansheng sad.
Xie Yansheng's driver drove Nuannuan and Sister Yun to the hospital, and she could only drive her rarely driven white polo to the hospital.
While waiting for the traffic light at an intersection, all the unpleasant things between her and Xie's mother came to her mind...
She didn't know how to face Xie's mother after arriving at the hospital.
She stepped on the accelerator in a trance, and the front of the car hit the rear wing of the black car in front!
The driver of the black car got out quickly, and Wen Lan hurriedly pulled off her seat belt and went down to negotiate.
When the driver saw Wen Lan, he immediately called out "Miss Wen" in surprise, and Wen Lan looked slightly stunned.
The car was a brand new Aston Martin, but Wen Lan knew the man in front of her because he was Jiang Jingci's exclusive driver.
Wen Lan looked at the back seat and met Jiang Jingci's deep eyes through the car window.
Since she brought Nuannuan back to Jiangcheng to settle down, she had met Jiang Jingci no more than three times.
Zhou Qiao resolutely asked TT to cut off the relationship with Jiang Jingci, and Jiang Jingci was also quite sensible. He did not go to TT again, nor did he appear in front of Wen Lan every three or five times as before.
The last time they met was at TT's new product launch a month ago. They passed each other at the elevator entrance. Jiang Jingci was busy attending an industry exchange meeting, and she disappeared before he could say hello.
Wen Lan lowered her eyes and first looked at the place where the black car was hit.
Not only was a large piece of paint wiped off, but there was also a large dent.
She had chased the rear of Shen Yi's car before, and knew how to deal with it. She looked at the driver, "I'm fully responsible. Call the police immediately to get the insurance."
The driver smiled, "This is a new car that Mr. bought last week. Miss Wen should ask Mr. for his opinion."
Wen Lan ignored Jiang Jingci and took out her mobile phone to open it. "Of course, we have to call the police if there is an accident."
"No need to call the police, you can drive away now." Jiang Jingci got out of the car without knowing when.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Wen Lan felt that Jiang Jingci was full of energy and spirit, and did not look like a patient with malignant nodules at all.
Wen Lan was in a hurry to go to the hospital, so she didn't force him. She looked away and said indifferently, "It's okay if you don't use insurance. I'll pay for the repairs and that's it."
"Talking to me about money is like slapping me in the face." Jiang Jingci smiled bitterly, "Yangyang is over two years old now, she should be very sensible, right?"
"My daughter's name is Nuannuan." Wen Lan said in a cold and resolute tone, got into her car, started the engine and drove away.
Jiang Jingci didn't stop and returned to the back seat.
"I just heard the news that Mrs. Xie was critically ill. Judging from the direction Miss Wen's car was heading, she was most likely going to see Mrs. Xie for the last time." The driver looked at Jiang Jingci flatteringly.
Jiang Jingci sneered: "She has been with Xie Yansheng for more than a year, but Xie Yansheng was so stingy that he didn't even give her the paper. She still rushed to show her filial piety to Mrs. Xie."
"Who said it wasn't! Miss Wen seems to have a high EQ, but she also has times when she is confused." The driver helped Jiang Jingci complain about Wen Lan, "Xie Yansheng has so many properties, but Miss Wen still lives with Yangyang in a house of more than 100 square meters in Shuyuan Mansion, and she doesn't feel wronged."
Jiang Jingci felt an unspeakable pain in his heart.
The two words "Wen Lan" have long been a taboo in his feelings.
Over the past year, acquaintances and friends in the business world, as well as his parents and father-in-law and mother-in-law, have been constantly introducing women to him, trying to get him to start a family as soon as possible.
Jiang Guan, who studied in Australia, has become more sensible. This year, he has been urging him to find a woman with a gentle personality to live with. When he heard this, he would immediately change the subject.
Because he knew that since that stolen pleasure, this woman named Wen Lan really lived in his heart.
He relied on the few remaining memories between the two of them to spend sleepless nights in the dead of night.
Although the two were in the same city, he did not deliberately create "chance encounters", so the chances of meeting were very few.
When he thought he had forgotten this woman and could treat her as a stranger when they met again, reality slapped him in the face again.
When Wen Lan rushed to the hospital, Xie's mother had completely fallen into a coma.
Xie Yansheng's eyes were red and swollen. He took her hand and brought her to Xie's mother's bedside and shouted, "Mom, Lanlan is here to see you."
Wen Lan stared at Xie's mother, who was as pale as paper, with mixed feelings in his heart, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Mrs. Qin, Xie Yansheng's aunt, cried and said to Wen Lan, "Eldest sister only gave birth to Yansheng in this life, and you and Yansheng have children. Can't you call eldest sister mom so that eldest sister can leave without worries!"
Wen Lan looked up at Xie Yansheng, who looked sad, "Lan Lan, Mom has been sorry for you in many ways. You and Nuan Nuan can come to the hospital to see her for the last time, and her wish will be fulfilled. I will never force you to call her mom or not."
"When my elder sister was awake, she kept calling the names of the three of you——" Mrs. Qin was very dissatisfied with Xie Yansheng's statement, and refuted sharply, "Nuan Nuan obviously lives in the same city as my elder sister. You don't let her see Nuan Nuan to please Wen Lan. Do you know how my elder sister has survived this year——"
Mrs. Qin burst into tears as she spoke.
Xie Yansheng put Wen Lan's hand in Xie's mother's palm with a tense face, choking his throat, "Mom, I know you have a lot to say to Wen Lan. Now she is holding your hand. If you can feel it, move it."
Soon, Wen Lan felt that Xie's mother's hand suddenly squeezed her fingers hard!
Her heartbeat suddenly became unbalanced. Looking at Xie's mother with her eyes closed, her mind was in a mess and she couldn't figure out anything at all.
"Big sister is Yan Sheng's mother, and you are Yan Sheng's woman. Why can't you call big sister mother now? That would also help fulfill big sister's last wish!" Mrs. Qin said anxiously to Wen Lan.
Wen Lan bent down, stretched out her other hand to cover the dry back of Xie's mother's hand, and tried several times, but couldn't say that word.
