Chapter 141: The Wife Is the Enemy's Daughter!

"What... did you say..."

Hearing this, Grandpa Xiao's originally aged face suddenly tightened, his expression shifting drastically.

He had heard her say that Xuezheng did not want the child in her belly... and that she was pregnant again?

And what was this about a heart transplant... she wanted to donate her heart to him?!

After processing her words, Grandpa Xiao's face turned instantly pale, and his breathing grew rapid.

The instruments attached to his beeped urgently. His entire body trembled violently, and the oxygen mask on his face instantly slipped off!

Without the supply of oxygen, Grandpa Xiao's face immediately turned ashen! His breathing became increasingly shallow and rapid!

Shi Runrun lowered her red, tear-stained eyes and watched. For a fleeting second, she was consumed by the hatred in her heart—letting Grandpa die like this would be the ultimate revenge against Xiao Xuezheng for toying with her!

Yet, this thought merely flashed through her mind. In the end, she could not bear it. She leaned over, placed the oxygen mask back onto Grandpa's face, and then walked out of the ward.

Thoughtfully, she even pulled the door shut behind her.

Outside the door, Shi Runrun leaned against the wall, a self-deprecating smile curving on her lips.

She truly was beyond pathetic... even at a time like this, she still couldn't harden her heart...

But Grandpa... Grandma...

No matter how they had deceived her, the kindness they had shown her in the past was real... She could not bear to watch Grandpa die just like that, nor could she bear to see Grandma plunged into boundless grief.

With that thought, she straightened up and walked downstairs.

She decided to find the doctor on duty and tell him that she accepted the heart transplant surgery, scheduling it for tomorrow—the sooner, the better!

Once the surgery was done and Grandpa was saved, she would leave. She would leave this city that brought her so much heartbreak, as far away as possible!

However, the moment she reached the ground floor of the inpatient building, her eyes instantly caught sight of his iconic white Cayenne parked not far away!

Shi Runrun's breath hitched sharply. In a panic, she plunged into the dark night and began to run swiftly.

Amidst the darkness, she paid no attention to where she was running, her mind driven by a single thought: she must not let him catch her!

Fortunately, she soon ran out of the hospital grounds, reached the roadside, and frantically hailed a taxi. Getting into the car, she clutched her chest and urged the driver to hurry.

Through the rearview mirror, seeing that no one was pursuing her, Shi Runrun finally let out a long, shuddering breath.

Yet at the same time, as she slumped back against the rear seat, her entire body felt like a deflated balloon, and tears began to stream down her face.

Because everything was truly over...

All the love and hate of so long had come to an end today...

Wherever she went in the future, she would be alone, save for her babies. Xiao Xuezheng would no longer exist in her life.

***

An hour ago, Xiao Xuezheng had found the car she drove away parked by the roadside.

Only, there was no trace of her inside.

Guided by pure intuition, he had rushed to the hospital, but a thorough search of the entire building yielded no sign of her.

Standing on the ground floor of the inpatient building, Xiao Xuezheng frowned deeply, his breathing heavy.

At such a late hour, and with the rain pouring so heavily, she had abandoned her car—where on earth could she have gone alone...

The anxiety and terror in his heart swelled continuously!

With that thought, he looked up at the top floor of the inpatient building—the floor where Grandpa was staying. Come to think of it, fearing he might disturb Grandpa, he hadn't gone up there to look for her yet.

Clinging to a last shred of hope, he strode inside and took the elevator upstairs.

Yet when the elevator doors opened, he had hoped against hope to find Shi Runrun, but instead of her, he encountered...

Chi Wanwan!

Xiao Xuezheng's expression turned instantly dark and icy.

Chi Wanwan, however, cared nothing for his demeanor; she had deliberately waited here for him today!

"Xuezheng... you're here. I've waited for you for so long."

She walked toward him, her red lips curving into a smile. Though she looked beautiful, her appearance bore a hint of madness.

At this moment, the person Xiao Xuezheng hated most, the person he wanted most to destroy, was Chi Wanwan!

How dare she show her face before him!

It was all because of her that he and Shi Runrun had been reduced to such a state!

Without waiting for her to speak again, casting aside any pretense of gentlemanly conduct, Xiao Xuezheng reached out with a large hand, seized her by the throat, and slammed her ruthlessly against the wall!

*Bang!*

The back of Chi Wanwan's head struck the hard wall violently, a wave of intense pain shooting through the back of her skull!

She let out a stifled cry of pain and hurriedly gasped out, "If you kill me now, you'll miss the earth-shattering secret I'm about to tell you! Xuezheng... you will regret it!"

Yet Xiao Xuezheng's expression remained immovable, utter ferocity radiating from his features as his grip tightened viciously!

"I told you before, since you dared to scheme against me, you should have prepared yourself to pay the price!"

In an instant, Chi Wanwan felt the air leave her lungs!

The large hand around her neck tightened further. Through his narrowed eyes, Chi Wanwan clearly saw the intent to kill, and true panic finally gripped her!

He was genuinely going to kill her...

Overwhelmed with terror, Chi Wanwan mustered her remaining strength and blurted out, "Xuezheng! You probably don't even know who Shi Runrun really is! She is not the biological daughter of the Shi family at all!"

What...

Xiao Xuezheng paused, his brow furrowing deeply as his hand loosened involuntarily.

Granted her freedom, Chi Wanwan coughed violently, then pressed her advantage while the iron was hot, pouring oil on the fire: "Do you know who her parents are? Her last name isn't Shi, it's Ji! She is the daughter of Ji Yunfeng and Ji Yashu!"

"Do the names Ji Yunfeng and Ji Yashu sound familiar to you?! On your eighteenth birthday, that heavy truck that ran over and killed your older sister—the driver of that truck was Ji Yunfeng! And the person sitting in the front passenger seat was Ji Yashu!"

"How utterly ridiculous... Xuezheng, the woman you treasured in your home for so long, the woman you pampered so deeply, is the murderer who killed your sister! Your wife is the daughter of your enemy!"

*Your enemy's daughter!*

These words pierced through Xiao Xuezheng's ears, hammering heavily into his heart!

Hearing them, Xiao Xuezheng's face turned ghostly pale!

His tall, straight figure actually trembled as he staggered backward several steps.

"What did you say..."

He muttered, the expression on his handsome, profound face shifting in ways even more dramatic than Chi Wanwan could have imagined!

He refused to believe what he had just heard...

Shi Runrun... was the daughter of Ji Yunfeng and Ji Yashu...

Before his wide, bloodshot eyes, a painful, unbearable memory from ten years ago was violently replayed.

It was a dark, torrential midnight just like tonight.

That speeding heavy truck, the girl who had been thrown into the air to save him, the broken body lying on the ground, soaked in blood, whispering against his knees that she wanted him to live happily in the future, Zaozao...

Xiao Xuezheng's lowered hands clenched tightly over his chest, his knuckles turning stark white.

"No! You're lying! You're talking nonsense! How could Shi Runrun possibly be their daughter?!"

Xiao Xuezheng shook his head fiercely, roaring in fury.

Chi Wanwan had anticipated this reaction. She immediately pulled out a photograph and thrust it before his eyes!

"This is an old photo of Ji Yashu! Look closely! Doesn't she look identical to Shi Runrun?! Genetics don't lie, Xuezheng! She is the daughter of the enemy who killed your sister and nearly killed you. How much longer are you going to lie to yourself?!"
