Because hed only hurt his legs, Xiao Baicongs operation ended very quickly. It took less than two hours, and during this period, the doctor came out to ask Madame Xiaos opinion on whether or not Xiao Baicong should have an amputated. However, she didnt get any answerbecause her mouth fell open, and she fainted.

Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu stayed in the hospital ward until Yang Jie told them that Xiao Baicongs operation was over. At that time, Madame Xiao had also woken up.

She was in a stunned daze as she sat in a chair in the ward, with her housekeeper keeping guard quietly by her side. The atmosphere around them was very solemn.

Madame.

Seeing that Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu were heading over, the housekeeper called out gently, reminding the stunned Madame Xiao to raise her head.

When she saw Xiao Yuanmu, who was standing nearby with Song Xuanhe, Madame Xiao suddenly covered her mouth, got up, and walked over to them quickly. She hugged Xiao Yuanmu and wept bitterly.

After crying for a long time, she finally managed to choke out, Your little brother what will he do?

Hes still so young, hes only reached adulthood and its the best time for him to move around. Hes lost his legs just like this, what can he do? Madame Xiao held tightly to Xiao Yuanmus arms, her eyes red. She no longer had her usual elegance and indifference, and she showed a mothers vulnerability without any concealment, Congcong is still so young, why were the kidnappers so cruel?

Xiao Yuanmu looked down at this woman whose make-up was still exquisite, but who no longer had any composure. His eyes were calm and indifferent, showing no ripples.

Why arent you sad? Madame Xiao shook her head, then frowned at Xiao Yuanmu and asked, Your younger brother has become like this? Why arent you sad?

Song Xuanhe frowned and raised his hand to move Madame Xiao away, but while she looked thin and weak, in fact, she was able to hold onto Xiao Yuanmus hand with great strength. She held onto him tightly as she questioned him again.

Why arent you sad?

Xiao Yuanmu didnt seem to feel the pain from her hold. His tone was very light, Keeping him alive was already a very difficult task.

Are you hoping that your brother wont even be able to stay alive? Madame Xiaos eyes grew wide as she asked, That way, the Xiao Family will be yours completely. Is that what youre thinking in your heart?

Madame!

The housekeeper had already interrupted her before Song Xuanhe could speak.

I apologize for the madame, young master. The housekeeper bowed, The little young master is now in bad condition, and the madames mood isnt very stable. The mister doesnt know about the situation here for the time being, so the madame is under even more pressure. I hope you can understand.

Xiao Yuanmus expression remained unchanged. He nodded indifferently and said, Take care of the madame.

The housekeeper nodded respectfully, his face devoid of emotion as he helped Madame Xiao retreat a step.

Madame Xiao also came back to her senses when she heard the housekeepers clear but cold words. She looked up at Xiao Yuanmu anxiously, opening her mouth and wanting to explain, but she didnt know where to start. After starting and stopping a few times, her shoulders collapsed heavily, and her voice sounded like she was holding back tears, Yuanmu, please forgive mom, your mom is just feeling too sad.

Song Xuanhe pulled Xiao Yuanmu behind him. He smiled superficially and said, Madame Xiao, Im sorry that your younger son has encountered such misfortune, but what you said to my lover makes me very unhappy. I can understand that youre too agitated, but I cant understand you questioning your eldest son because your younger son was injured. You even said such chilling words.

I Madame Xiaos mouth moved. She looked at Xiao Yuanmu with eyes that held guilt and pleading, Yuanmu

Madame Xiao. Song Xuanhe interrupted her again, I know that doing this is very impolite to you, but I dont want you to continue talking to Xiao Yuanmu anymore. Regardless of whether you mind or not, Im going to take him to the ward now because his leg has just been stitched up, and he needs to recover. Of course, if you still remember about this matter, then Im sure you wouldnt mind.

Song Xuanhe held Xiao Yuanmus arm and turned to leave. Hed only taken two steps when he paused, turned his head back, and said, Do you still remember what I said to you before?

Madame Xiao was staring at Xiao Yuanmus back in a daze. At this time, her attention was pulled back by Song Xuanhes voice. She blinked, her expression in a trance.

Song Xuanhes eyes were cold. He no longer looked at Madame Xiao and supported Xiao Yuanmu to leave.

When they returned to their ward, Xiao Yuanmu reached out to hold Song Xuanhes hand.

I dont want to live in the hospital. Cant I go back and recover?

No. Song Xuanhe pulled his hand away and said, Its already very late now. Well go back tomorrow morning and sleep here for today first.

I dont like hospitals. Xiao Yuanmu looked at the bed he was sitting on, his voice clear, And this bed is too small.

Song Xuanhe sat down on another bed. Hed already changed his clothes and lay down,You just have to fit in it for one night. We can go back tomorrow.

Xiao Yuanmu stared closely at Song Xuanhes profile, then stated his request, I want to sleep with you.

No way. Song Xuanhe glanced at him and saw that his face was a little pale, and there was a trace of unhappiness in his dark eyes. His heart softened, and he frowned as he explained, Your bed is too small. Youll bump your wound if we sleep together.

Then, lets go back and sleep. Xiao Yuanmu said, I dont think its too troublesome.

No way. Song Xuanhe frowned and refused him again.

Xiao Yuanmu clenched his mouth, his jaw tense. He was just about to speak again when someone knocked on their door.

Yang Jies voice sounded out, Brother Xiao, Young Master Song, you may have to get up.

Song Xuanhe moved the quilt aside, got up, and opened the door. he asked, Whats the matter?

Xiao Baicong woke up. Yang Jies expression was a bit complicated. He continued, He learned that his legs had been amputated, and he cant accept it. The doctor cant even give him a tranquilizer, and also he said that Brother Xiao was the one to crush his legs.

Song Xuanhes eyebrows leapt up. Yang Jie continued, Madame Xiao wants Brother Xiao to go over there.

You tell her, Song Xuanhes expression was cold, Xiao Yuanmu is injured and needs ot rest. If theres anything to talk about, we can do it tomorrow.

Im afraid that wont work. Yang Jie frowned, then whispered, Madame Xiao isnt in a much better state than Xiao Baicong right now, and if this matter really reaches Mr. Xiaos ears, then things will be really bad for Brother Xiao. Right now

Right now, Xiao Yuanmu needs to rest. Song Xuanhe held the door. His expression was colder than the hospital lights, Tell her directly that Xiao Yuanmu is asleep.

How could he have fallen asleep!

Madame Xiaos voice sounded out sharply from the other side of the corridor. Her high-heeled shoes rang out with her steps, the crisp sound growing louder as she neared. They also emphasized her haggard and angry appearance.

Mister Song, I think that this is our own family business. As Xiao Yuanmus mother, I want to ask him a few things. I hope that you can step aside.

This was the first time that Madame Xiao had shown a cold, almost oppressive expression towards outsiders. Shed lost the elegance and softness of a well-bred lady, and gained the courage of a mother.

It was just that this trace of courage seemed ridiculous to Song Xuanhe.

Mother.

Xiao Yuanmu had appeared behind Song Xuanhe at some unknown point in time. He pulled open the door that Song Xuanhe held with one hand, then put his other hand on Song Xuanhes arm. He spoke calmly, You can come in. He can know anything there is to know about me and doesnt need to leave.

Madame Xiao looked at her eldest son, who obviously didnt look to be in good condition, and the anger at the bottom of her eyes dispersed slightly. She nodded, then walked into the ward after Xiao Yuanmu stepped aside.

Your younger brother said that you were the one who caused his injury. Madame Xiao got straight to the pint, I want to know if its true.

Xiao Yuanmu dropped his gaze, his tone very calm, What did he say?

He said that at the time, you two had already run outside, and there was no one following you. However, when it was time to get into the car, you suddenly pushed him out, causing his legs to be crushed by the motorcycle that suddenly rushed out from behind. Then, he had to latch on to the door and refuse to let go in order to not end up left behind.

Xiao Yuanmu raised his gaze. His emotions couldnt be read as he asked Madame Xiao very calmly, Do you believe it?

Madame Xiao was stunned for a moment. Back when her younger son wailed and told her what had happened, sobbing as he looked at his legs with beautiful, but empty eyes, shed naturally believed what hed said. Otherwise, she wouldnt have gotten so angry that she ordered Yang Jie to call Xiao Yuanmu over immediately, nor would she have charged over without waiting for him to come.

But now, when she saw her older sons expression, she wasnt too sure.

Madame Xiao didnt answer. Xiao Yuanmus expression didnt change, and he remained calm, without showing even a trace of sadness over being questioned by his own mother.

Then, what happened with Congcongs legs?
