Chapter 839 - 882: A Choice Between Two
After Ruan Zhitong woke up, Mu Beiting immediately sent a text message to reassure both Xiao Bai and Ye An’s mother!Not long after the text message was sent, Ye An’s mother rushed over in a hurry!
Ye Shan also followed her to the hospital! However, when they reached the door of the hospital room together, he didn’t go in but sat on the chair outside the room, waiting for news.
Ye An’s mother entered the room, saw Ruan Zhitong who had already woken up, and couldn’t help but burst into tears while holding her.
After school, Xiao Bai also had the driver take him directly to the hospital!
Seeing everyone had arrived, the butler completed his duty and left first to arrange dinner for everyone!
Ye An’s mother tightly held Ruan Zhitong’s hand, crying and saying, "Anxin! Seeing you’re okay, mom can finally rest easy! You don’t know, from the moment you got into an accident until now, I’ve been blaming myself every moment! If I hadn’t left with Chu Yi back then, would you not have been pushed into the river by that mad woman! Luckily, luckily you’re okay, otherwise, mom wouldn’t be able to live on!"
Ruan Zhitong gently patted Ye An’s mother’s hand and comforted, "Mom, it’s not your fault! You were holding Chu Yi at that time! If you hadn’t left, what if Chu Yi got hurt? It’s okay that I’m hurt, I can’t let you and Chu Yi be harmed too!"
Xiao Bai stood by the bedside, looking at his mother and Ye An’s mother holding hands tightly, he pouted and disdainfully said, "Come on, you’re both grown-ups, stop crying like that, or people will laugh at you!"
Hearing this, Ruan Zhitong and Ye An’s mother both froze, then Ruan Zhitong smiled and beckoned Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai, come here, let mommy have a good look at you!"
Xiao Bai pursed his lips, blushing, and walked over awkwardly.
Ruan Zhitong reached out and gently rubbed Xiao Bai’s head, smiling as she said, "Xiao Bai, mommy almost couldn’t see you anymore, but luckily nothing happened! You don’t have to worry about mommy; mommy will be fine!"
Seeing Ruan Zhitong looking so disheveled, Xiao Bai felt heartache yet was too embarrassed to show it, purposely raised his chin, and said arrogantly, "Really stupid! Knowing she’s a mad woman, why didn’t you hide and even confront her head-on!"
Being scolded by Xiao Bai, Ruan Zhitong not only didn’t get angry but instead smiled serenely, "I’m sorry, mommy was too dumb! If I ever encounter her again, I’ll surely avoid her!"
Xiao Bai, angry, said, "Still thinking of meeting her again? It won’t happen! After finally hurting you and nearly separating you from us forever, dad certainly won’t let her go!"
Hearing this, Ruan Zhitong looked at Mu Beiting in disbelief and asked, "Uncle, what are you planning to do with her?"
Mu Beiting’s expression turned cold, "An eye for an eye! However she treated you, I will treat her the same! If she dies, it’s what she deserves; if she, like you, manages to survive, then she’s just lucky!"
Ruan Zhitong gasped upon hearing Mu Beiting’s words and quickly asked, "Are you going to throw her into the river?"
Mu Beiting said nothing, his thin lips tightly pressed together as if in silent agreement.
"No, that’s a living person, we can’t do that to her! Besides, she’s not in her right mind now and doesn’t even know what she’s doing! It’s her extreme love for her daughter that drove her to madness like this, I think it’s understandable! Husband, please spare her this one time!" Ruan Zhitong urgently pleaded for Su Mu.
Though she orchestrated all this and never cared about others’ lives, now she was Ye Anxin, and Ye Anxin and she were two different people! If the real Ye Anxin were sitting there, she would definitely plead!
So, she had to disguise not only her appearance to be exactly like Ye Anxin’s but also her character seamlessly.
Hearing Ruan Zhitong’s words, Xiao Bai put his hands on his hips, puffing his cheeks in frustration, "Mom, what you’re doing is not kindness, it’s stupidity, don’t you know? This mad woman can harm you once, she can harm you twice! This time you were lucky to escape unharmed, but what about next time? Who can guarantee your luck will hold like this! That’s why someone like her must be punished!"
Ruan Zhitong gently patted Xiao Bai’s fair cheek, patiently advising, "Oh, Xiao Bai, mommy’s not being stupid, it’s sympathy! Su Yuexin is locked up in jail, she won’t come out for the rest of her life! For her mother, that’s no different than losing a daughter! She can’t bear the blow, which is why she’s turned into what she is now! She’s already so pitiful; if she also loses her life, that would be too cruel of us! We have to learn to repay evil with good, you know?"
"You...! You...!" Xiao Bai, enraged by Ruan Zhitong, his little face flushed red, finally snapped after a long pause, "You’re hopeless, I’m not going to care about you anymore, suit yourself!" With that, he turned away, ignoring Ruan Zhitong.
Seeing Xiao Bai’s childish anger, Ruan Zhitong looked helplessly at Mu Beiting.
Mu Beiting simply looked at her silently!
Seeing Mu Beiting not saying anything, Ruan Zhitong smiled softly, "Husband, do you think I’m right?"
Mu Beiting was silent for a moment, then coldly said, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot! I won’t throw her in the river, but... she must go to the asylum!"
"...! Husband...!" Ruan Zhitong was about to speak when she heard Mu Beiting say, "This is the bottom line, only these two choices!"
"...!" Seeing Mu Beiting’s firm stance, Ruan Zhitong resignedly agreed, "Alright! Maybe going to an asylum is the best outcome for her!"
Seeing Mu Beiting and Ruan Zhitong decide Su Mu’s fate, Xiao Bai was furious and, unwilling to speak further, walked straight to the sofa in the hospital room, sat down heavily, folded his arms, and sulked alone.
Knowing he was angry, Ruan Zhitong just looked at Mu Beiting with a face full of helplessness, while Mu Beiting was also not bothered with Xiao Bai!
Ruan Zhitong looked at Ye An’s mother and suddenly asked, "By the way, mom, I heard from the uncle that Ye Shan saved me this time?"
Ye An’s mother nodded and sighed, "Yes! I really didn’t expect that the one who saved you this time would be him! Without him, you might still be lying in the grove!"
As Ye An’s mother finished speaking, a dark gleam flashed briefly in Mu Beiting’s eyes.
But since it vanished too quickly, neither Ruan Zhitong nor Ye An’s mother noticed it.
Ruan Zhitong said warmly, "Mom, he saved me this time, what do you plan to do?"
Ye An’s mother looked at Ruan Zhitong in confusion, "What do you mean, what do I plan to do? What do you have in mind?"
Ruan Zhitong calmly expressed her thoughts, "Mom, I think since he saved me this time, we might consider forgiving him as a way to balance the scales. Besides, when I’m not around, you won’t feel lonely with him!"
