469 His Salvation
Two hours later, Xu Wu woke up.
She thought that she would never wake up in this life and would not be able to see the faces of her loved ones, let alone feel the warmth of the sun.
She always thought that she would be tortured day and night and live in pain forever.
No one knew what she had experienced. No one knew that even death was a luxury to her.
However, when she heard her mother’s soft call, she felt like she was in a dream. Her eyes were filled with confusion as she muttered softly, “Am, am I already dead?”
As she spoke of death, the corners of her mouth actually curled up into a sad smile. Apart from wanting to say goodbye to her parents and family, her greatest wish was to die.
“Wu, you’re really awake. Mommy is here. Come and see Mommy!”
Liu Su did not understand what Xu Wu meant. She thought that her daughter was shocked that she could wake up, so she quickly grabbed her hand and pressed it to her tear-stained face.
Xu Haisheng felt a lump in his throat and quickly turned his head away. His eyes were red. Only he knew how much Wu wanted to die instead of suffering the pain.
After coming in to check on Xu Wu, the others left, giving some time for the family of three to catch up. Elder Xu and Old Madam Xu returned to the living room to thank Qin Xi warmly.
As for Xu Jiao, her entire body was tense. When she saw that Xu Wu had woken up safely, her mind went blank and she sat there in a daze, her heart filled with shock and fear.
She grabbed her clothes nervously and tried her best to keep a smile on her face so that no one would see through her. However, she was overthinking. Now that everyone in the Xu family was excited about Xu Wu waking up, no one had the time to care about her.
She seemed to have realized this too. A trace of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes, and her heart was filled with hatred. Just as she was thinking of a solution, she inadvertently looked up and happened to see Xu Linyuan looking at her.
Xu Jiao’s heart skipped a beat and her head buzzed. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye. She forced herself to calm down, her heart in chaos and fear.
She did not understand why Xu Linyuan was looking at her.
Did he discover something or suspect something?
Then, she thought of the two bowls of medicine and couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Linyuan, but when she saw that Xu Linyuan wasn’t looking at her, she heaved a sigh of relief.
It should be a coincidence!
Perhaps it was because she had a guilty conscience, but the moment she saw Xu Linyuan, Xu Jiao’s body stiffened, as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat. Her face was so pale that she broke out in cold sweat.
Seeing that she was scared out of her wits, Xu Linyuan sneered in his heart. Since she dared to do such a crazy thing, he would let her have a taste of her own medicine.
Qin Xi ate dinner at the Xu family before leaving. After leaving the Xu family, she went straight to a private room in a Western restaurant. Chu Xia, on the other hand, went with a dark-skinned and honest man.
This man was Four.
“You’re here.” Chu Xia was delighted and quickly stood up to greet her politely.
Qin Xi smiled and sat opposite them. Her gaze landed on the two of them. After a while, she said, “Not bad, you look like a perfect couple.”
Hearing that, Chu Xia blushed and said in embarrassment, “Miss Qin, Four and I are here to thank you. If not for you, we wouldn’t have met in this lifetime.”
Four stood up and bowed respectfully to Qin Xi.
He was very grateful to Qin Xi.
It was not because Qin Xi had helped him take back his identity as the young master of the Wen family, but because he was glad that she had let Chu Xia find him, the girl who had appeared in his dreams countless times.
She was the salvation of his life.
