841 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World Sixteen, Two Brothers (03)

Zhao Heping was standing at the top of the stairs.

Wang Lihua can flip out faster than turning over a book.

“Heping.” She said with a smile.”I thought you went to your grandpa’s place.”

“Come back and get something.” Zhao Heping’s eyes swept over Wang Lihua and landed on the man behind her.”Dad.”

“Where’s He’an?” Zhao Jiancheng’s expression changed a little when he saw his son.”Still at Grandpa’s?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay, say hello to your grandpa for me.”

After getting up slowly and buttoning the top buttons of his shirt, Zhao Jiancheng walked to Wang Lihua and put his arm around the woman’s shoulders.

“Children, if you have nothing to do, go to bed early and don’t run around, you know?”

This was naturally said to Xue Qi.

Xue Qi nodded obediently.

After the two adults went upstairs, Zhao Heping went downstairs.

When passing by Xue Qi, she whispered: “Thank you, brother.”

Zhao Heping paused in his steps.

Just when Xue Qi thought he would leave without any expression as usual, unexpectedly, the young man said: “Good night.”

Compared with the indifferent Zhao Heping, Zhao He’an has a much better attitude towards Wang Lihua and Xue Qi, mother and daughter. He will take the initiative to say hello and even buy some snacks and toys for Xue Qi.

Although neither Zhao Heping nor Zhao Hean calls them mother, it is obviously much easier for Wang Lihua to get along with the latter than with the former.

Moreover, Zhao Hean was sweet-tongued and able to please people. Over time, Wang Lihua became more sincere in her treatment of him.

“It would be great if your second brother was really my child.” Wang Lihua played with the jewelry in her hand.”Compared to your elder brother…”

“Mom.” Xue Qi interrupted her.”Don’t say that.”

Wang Lihua also knew that what she wanted to say was inappropriate.

So she shut her mouth, turned to look at her daughter who was doing her homework seriously next to her, and clicked her tongue.

“He’s as big as a brat.”

Xue Qi has become accustomed to Wang Lihua’s attitude.

However, her mother’s next words made her pen pause on the composition page.

“It’s okay. Although your second brother is not my son, I will have my own son soon.” Looking at Xue Qi who looked surprised, Wang Lihua smiled sweetly and proudly.”Yes, mom is pregnant.”

“You are the second person besides Jiancheng who knows.”

Her expression was filled with happiness.

“From now on, we will be a real family.”

Xue Qi always remembered Wang Lihua’s expression when she said these words.

It was pure joy, unadulterated by any negative emotion.

Then she understood that the brother who was about to be born was different from herself after all.

One is an accident of youth and frivolity, and the other is the result of careful preparation.

But Xue Qi still looks forward to the birth of her younger brother.

They would also be relatives connected to her by blood. At least, they would not make her feel lonely, living in a place called home but unable to feel the closeness of being a family member.

Xue Qi thought she was used to this, but when Wang Lihua announced that a new member was about to join, she realized that she still longed for family affection and the simplicity of being a family member.

But she didn’t wait for the day when her wish came true.

Xue Qi’s younger brother was not born.

When she was seven months pregnant, Zhao Jiancheng sent Wang Lihua to a well-known pregnancy center in the wealthy circles of western Beijing to wait for delivery. However, there was a traffic accident on the way. Although she was fine, she miscarried due to fright.

Wang Lihua cannot accept this fact.

She knew very well that this child was related to the rest of her life.

So she was cautious, walking on thin ice, and even made many changes for this purpose, including some decisions that would make Zhao Jiancheng unhappy.

You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Although it seems that her whole heart is tied to Zhao Jiancheng and she lives according to the man’s wishes, Wang Lihua has been in society for a long time and is not an innocent girl who doesn’t understand anything.

Unexpectedly, it was all in vain.

This incident brought a great blow to Wang Lihua, and even her mental state became unstable.

Two months later, Xue Qi was allowed to meet her.

“Your mother is in a bad mood because she lost her baby. Sometimes she talks nonsense. Don’t take it seriously.”

Zhao Jiancheng did not follow Xue Qi, but sent someone to accompany her.

That person said this to Xue Qi before entering the ward.

It was only later that Xue Qi understood what the other party meant by the nonsense.

The ward is large and well-equipped, but the carefully arranged decorations do not fill the space, but make it feel empty.

Wang Lihua was lying on the hospital bed, wearing hospital clothes. She was skinny and haggard. Two months of recuperation seemed to be of no use.

She raised her eyes when she heard footsteps.

The originally affectionate pair of phoenix eyes were now as dim and gray as the sky outside the window.

“You’re finally here.”

“Mom…”

Xue Qi just opened her mouth when her wrist was grabbed.

She was startled.

“Your brother was killed!”

Because she rarely spoke during this period, her voice was dry and hoarse, which was different from Wu Nong’s soft words in the past, but what shocked Xue Qi was the meaning behind this sentence.

“Huh?”

“The car that crashed straight into us was not an accident, it was calculated.”

She tightened her fingers on Xue Qi’s wrist and recalled the scene at that time. Her whole body trembled involuntarily, her eyes were bloodshot and her face was distorted.

“So, your brother was killed by someone! Someone wants your brother’s life!”
