74 Chapter 73 — Hope

Even if Chi Zhengzheng's body functions were declining, even if it was likely that Chi Zhengzheng was about to die, the doctors were still at their wits' end, unable to come up with any solution.

She was conscious at first, but now she was in a coma again, and as if none of them could explain the reason well.

This also resulted in – her lying on the bed from beginning to end, with all kinds of tubes inserted, unmoving, as if she was asleep.

Wen Yu sat next to her, holding her hand tightly.

"You should eat something, it's been three days, you've only drank some water. How can your body stand this if you go on like this?" Zheng Ye sighed, his eyes were full of emotions.

From the time Chi Zhengzheng entered the hospital, he had only seen his boss's madness.

He originally thought that this man could bear the weight of Mountain Tai and that he could deal with anything without batting an eye, but he didn't expect that in this world, there were also he couldn't bear. (t/n: bearing the weight of Mountain Tai means that he can stand enormous amounts of pressure.)

Chi Zhengzheng's situation. He couldn't accept it at all.

– As if she wasn't sick as if she was just asleep, and he was by her side, waiting for her to wake up.

Wen Yu didn't move.

Zheng Ye had a worried expression: "If your body collapses, how can you wait until Chi Zhengzheng wakes up? She's like this now, and she still needs you to support her."

Regarding Chi Zhengzheng's situation, he secretly asked the experts today, and the situation wasn't optimistic.

With a long sigh, he put the food in his hand on the cupboard next to him.

At that moment, Wen Yu reached out his hand, picked up the food, and chewed mechanically.

Zheng Ye finally breathed a little sigh of relief, turned around, and walked out of the ward. Such a large Yu Ding which Wen Yu didn't care about now, since he didn't care about it, it was a real mess.

When he walked out of the ward, he faintly heard Wen Yu's husky voice murmuring a sentence –

"Little sleepyhead, why are you still sleeping, hurry up, get up and eat."

His tone was gentle as if the person on the bed was really asleep as if during the next moment she would open her eyes and accompany him to eat something.

Zheng Ye inexplicably choked up, if Chi Zhengzheng really…

The consequences, he simply dared not think about them.

Wen Yu had never been joyful for more than 20 years before. God wouldn't be so cruel, he wouldn't take away his joy, right?

Before Zheng Ye had gone far, he collided head-on with three people who had hurriedly arrived. The three were in a hurry, as if they hadn't noticed him at all, and continued walking towards the front.

Was it the Chi family?

Zheng Ye turned around abruptly and returned to the ward.

At this moment, the three members of the Chi family had already entered the ward.

"Zhengzheng!" Ding Yijun cried out, rushed over, and stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Chi Zhengzheng, but didn't dare to, she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. (t/n: idiom, at a loss, bewildered.)

"What's wrong with Zhengzheng? Wen Yu, tell me. What happened to Zhengzheng?!" Ding Yijun cried out, staring intently at Wen Yu with red eyes.

Wen Yu ignored her.

"Wen Yu!" Chi Yan was also furious and stared at him: "You said you would take care of Zhengzheng. Is this how you take good care of her?! Zhengzheng arrived at the hospital on New Year's Eve and you never informed us!"

"Wen Yu, say something, tell me. What happened to Zheingzheng?" Ding Yijun cried out.

As soon as her hand touched Chi Zhengzheng, Wen Yu waved it away.

"Wen Yu!!"

"Knock it off!" Zheng Ye walked in and looked at Chi Yan and Ding Yijun. "Wen Yu isn't the one who's to blame for Chi Zhengzheng's illness. If you want to find fault, it should be the car accident a year ago."

While Chi Zhouchen hurriedly reached out to wipe his tears that couldn't control, he asked: "What happened? How is it related to the car accident a year ago?"

Zheng Ye briefly explained Chi Zhengzheng's situation clearly.

"So… Zhengzheng fainted this time because of the car accident a year ago?" Chi Yan opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, and his eyes had turned red.

"So you're in no position to blame Wen Yu, you can only blame the person who caused her to have a car accident a year ago, as well as yourselves. When she first woke up, you didn't pay attention to it and didn't give her a proper body check." Zheng Ye's eyes beneath his glasses carried sharpness and hit the nail on the head.

"Can Zhengzheng… still wake up?" Ding Yijun's body shook.

Zheng Ye pursed his lips: "Not optimistic."

Ding Yijun's legs went weak and she fell directly to the ground.

"Get out." Wen Yu finally opened his mouth, his hoarse voice was very soft, and dissipated into the air after he finished talking.

"No, I don't want to go, I want to keep watching Zhengzheng!" Ding Yijun reached out and tried to hold Chi Zhengzheng's other hand.

"I said, all of you, get out." Wen Yu turned his eyes towards them.

When they met his eyes, everyone was taken aback, and even Ding Yijun was startled.

His eyes were bloodshot inside, his whole person had changed a lot in just a few days, and his stubble was unkempt.

The face was obviously expressionless, but it gave them a chill all over. He was like a ferocious beast that had been released and that would hurt someone if they weren't careful.

– He's gone insane.

"Zhengzheng is just asleep, you're talking nonsense! You aren't needed here, all of you, get out." His voice was still soft as if he had just said a normal sentence.

After saying that, he turned his head to look at the person on the hospital bed and reached out, straightening her messy hair.

Ding Yijun opened her mouth, frightened by Wen Yu's glance just now, and unable to say anything.

"Let's all get out, you're just in time to talk to the doctor." Zheng Ye cleared the room.

Chi Zhouchen gritted his teeth, stepped forward, helped Ding Yijun up, and then slowly walked out of the ward.

Zheng Ye closed the door.

He looked at Chi Yan and Ding Yijun: "I know you're concerned about your daughter, but you have to know that the one who is having the hardest time right now is Wen Yu. His feelings for Chi Zingzheng are much deeper than yours. If you're worried, go talk to the doctor, don't go in and disturb them."

After saying that, Zheng Ye turned around and left.

Chi Zhouchen and Chi Yan took Ding Yijun to see the doctor.

By the time they came out again, all three of them were red-eyed. Chi Zhouchen helped Ding Yijun sit on a chair in the corridor while leaning against the wall, his gaze somewhat sluggish.

How could it be…

Obviously, they saw Chi Zhengzheng on New Year's Eve. She was still so healthy, they couldn't see any sign of sickness, how did she suddenly faint?

Not optimistic? Less than a month?

What did they mean?

Chi Zhengzheng could only live for less than a month?

No! Impossible!

As soon as Chi Zhouchen blinked, tears came out of his eyes, and his hands were clenched into fists, unable to accept it.

Chi Yan also didn't say anything, things happened too suddenly, his first reaction was – Impossible!

Ding Yijun cried out: "No, Zhengzheng was obviously in good health, how could she die? She was so healthy, so young, and nowadays medicine is so advanced, how could something happen to her?! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

She raised her hand and pounded her fist on her chest, grieving: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault! Why didn't I pay more attention in the first place? Why didn't I let Zhengzheng be checked in the hospital more often?!"

"Mom… Calm down…" Chi Zhouchen sluggishly stretched out his hand to stop his mother's self-harming behavior.

"I can't calm down!" Ding Yijun slid to the ground and leaned against the chair, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault for believing in An Qinru! It's all my fault for luring that wolf into the house!"

It wouldn't be this painful.

As time passed, Ding Yijun had already started to regret it, and now that Chi Zhengzheng had collapsed, her regret and self-blame had reached their peak.

Originally…

Originally, it was clearly An Qinru and Wen Yiran that had stimulated Zhengzheng, that's why she had a car accident!

At that time, Ding Yijun believed An Qinru and felt that she didn't mean to do it, nor did she mean to steal Chi Zhengzheng's fiancé.

She didn't do anything for her own daughter, nor did she take action to punish An Qinru, she even protected An Qinru ...

And it was later proven that An Qinru clearly had her eye on Wen Yiran and deliberately seduced him!

If Zhengzheng really collapsed because of that car accident, how would she, Ding Yijun, have the face to see Zhengzheng? How could she face Wen Yu and the Chi family?

She screwed up, she really screwed up.

Previously, she seemed to be bewitched, she actually cared more about An Qinru than her own daughter!

How was she able to walk ahead of her own daughter, whom she was pregnant with for ten months?

She was one of the executioners too! (t/n: in this case, she just means she was responsible for her being like this.)

"It's not just your fault… I'm also at fault… all these years, I've neglected Zhengzheng too much." As Chi Yan said this, he choked up and covered his eyes, tears flowed from his fingers.

Chi Zhouchen didn't say anything.

Was he at fault? He knew in his own heart that he was.

No wonder Chi Zhengzheng was cold to their Chi family. They planted the cause themselves, it was the result of their own planting!

Ding Yijun's lips were bitten so much that blood came out, she was grief-stricken –

"I really hate it so much!!"

She hated An Qinru, she hated Wen Yiran, and she hate herself!

The Chi family was grieving outside, and inside the door, Wen Yu lowered his head, and his forehead lightly touched Chi Zhengzheng's brow.

"They're gone, no more noise. But you should also stop sleeping, hurry and get up, don't you want to eat spicy food? I'll eat with you, okay?" Wen Yu's voice was gentle.

His forehead was slightly cold from the touch.

Wen Yu slightly stiffened, then looked, as usual, tightened the covers for her, and said: "As long as you open your eyes, whatever you want to eat, I will accompany you to eat, okay? Hurry up and wake up, or else I'm going to change my mind oh."

The person in the bed lay calmly.

"Let me tell you a secret. Actually, I wasn't prepared to let you get a job before I promised you but I was completely lying to you. I was prepared to block you when the time came, so you wouldn't be able to successfully get a job, so you wouldn't go to work."

"Then I came up with another idea. Once you can't find a job, I would recruit you on behalf of Yu Ding, so that even if you go to work, you could be with me and I would be able to dominate your whole life."

"Chi Zhengzheng, look at how bad I am, now you know, you must be angry with me, but it's okay. I'll coax you, I'll keep coaxing you until you forgive me."

All those possessiveness and petty thoughts he originally had, in front of her possible permanent departure, didn't seem to be worth mentioning.

As long as she would wake up, as long as she would go to work if she wanted, as long as she would be able to eat whatever she wanted, as long as she was by his side, as long as she was alive and kicking, he could agree to anything.

However, she was still lying in bed, motionless.

Wen Yu used his stubble to prick her again and laughed: "Don't you hate it when I prick you with my stubble? Every time I prick you, you would get angry and hit me with a pillow and tell me to step aside…"

He paused, his smile slowly fell, and his eyes turned red: "I've told you my bad idea, and picked you with my stubble, why don't you get up?"

His voice was awfully low and shallow, it was a murmur that quickly dissipated into the wind –

"Chi Zingzheng, stop it, you promised me you wouldn't scare me anymore…"

The news that something had happened to Chi Zhengzheng spread quickly.

The reaction of the Chi family, as well as the fact that Wen Yu seemed to have disappeared, didn't show up at the company at all or appeared in front of people. One brain specialist after another was asked to come over from all over the world, it was enough to show that – something had really happened to Chi Zhengzheng.

And the problem was serious.

Some people also had connections. They found out that Chi Zhengzheng had a recurrence of her old injuries due to the car accident a year ago, and she became vegetative again, and that… she wouldn't be alive for long.

The Wen family had left the city, but Wen Yiran also had brothers and contacts.

These people were unable to help him when he was in trouble, but they told him the news. Some of them were implicated in the fall of the Wen family and also hated Wen Yu.

On the phone, they mocked without the slightest scruple –

"That Wen Yu is so affectionate, let me tell you, Chi Zhengzheng has been in the hospital for ten days. I paid off the people in the hospital to know the first-hand news. Wen Yu is like a lunatic, every day he would find someone to save Chi Zhengzheng. He hadn't eaten or drunk for the past few days! He would be at the hospital all day, Yu Ding is now completely under Zheng Ye's control, Wen Yu wouldn't do anything apart from watching Chi Zhengzheng!"

Wen Yiran was taken aback and didn't speak.

On the other end of the phone, the man's voice got excited –

"It's being said that Chi Zhengzheng is going to die, and she won't live for more than a few days. When she dies, looking at Wen Yu's state, I'm afraid he will be depressed even if she was not to die. Yiran, even you can get revenge! If he also falls, his relatives will be you, and Yu Ding will be yours too!"

Wen Yiran was taken aback for a long time before he asked in a hoarse voice: "Chi Zhengzheng…what's the situation?"

"Didn't I say it all? She's going to die. It's estimated that she won't last for more than a few days. There are so many experts, they all haven't come up with a solution, and so many people have left after seeing her. They could only shake their heads. Tsk tsk, it's a pity that such a great beauty…"

The man kept talking, Wen Yiran couldn't hear anything anymore and the phone fell to the ground.

He sat on the sofa in a disheveled manner, his face was filled with blankness and disbelief.

"Hahaha!!" Inside the room, came the sound of An Qinru's loud laughter.

Immediately afterward, An Qinru, who had lost a lot of weight and only had a big belly, ran out with her phone, with an excited voice: "Chi Zhengzheng is going to die, Chi Zhengzheng is going to die! She deserves it! She deserves it! Hahaha, finally, I've waited for today!"

She didn't know what happened, the news she received only indicated that Chi Zhengzheng seemed to have a recurrence of her old injury and was about to die.

An Qinru was so happy, even if she was in a bad situation, even if she was still wearing old clothes and didn't have a single piece of jewelry, even if her hair was withered and her face was wrinkled…

She was still very happy!

She thought that after she left, Chi Zhengzheng was going to live a happy life, but she never expect her life to be so short and that she would die soon.

"Hahahaha." An Qinru continued to laugh out loud.

That's how she was, the more miserable she was, the more she hated Chi Zhengzheng in her heart.

Was it true that her curse was fulfilled?

Although Chi Zhengzheng wasn't dumped by Wen Yu, she was going to die, and she wouldn't be able to live a good life!

"Slap-" Wen Yiran slapped An Qinru's face, pretty badly.

An Qinru's body tilted. Fortunately, the room was small, she reached out and propped herself up against the wall. She was taken aback and looked at Wen Yiran.

After they moved to City C, the days were very hard, Xu Wei always bullied An Qinru, although Wen Yiran didn't interfere, he would never hit her.

Nowadays, because her belly was getting bigger and bigger, Wen Jingsen forbade Xu Wei to bully her again, but unexpectedly, Wen Yiran actually did it…

"Did you hit me?" An Qinru opened her mouth and mumbled.

"Do you know why Chi Zhengzheng had an accident? It's because of you, because of the previous car accident! If you hadn't deliberately stimulated her in the beginning, how could she have been in a car accident?!" Wen Yiran stared at An Qinru with a deadly glare, his eyes red.

What happened at the beginning, only he, An Qinru, and Chi Zhengzheng were present, apart from them, he knew best what happened.

An Qinru was holding her belly, her face was full of spite: "Wen Yiran, are you accusing me? Was there no reason for you to be there in the first place? It was you who kept talking about breaking off the engagement with her, it was you who kept saying that she was annoying and that you loved me! One palm alone cannot clap, a fly doesn't bite a seamless egg, and you were half the reason for her car accident in the first place! You are also the culprit!"

(t/n: One palm alone cannot clap and a fly doesn't bite a seamless egg means it takes two to tango, it takes two persons to start a dispute.)

These few months have successfully turned her into a bitter shrew, where could the original slightest hint of gentleness and demureness be seen.

Wen Yiran once again fell on the sofa, something fell from his eyes, and his heart hurt.

"Yeah… I'm also a sinner…" He murmured.

Yeah, His sins were originally also in it.

Why did he do so many things in the first place? Why did he hurt his fiancée so much in the first place?

Chi Zhengzheng was his fiancée, but it wasn't her fault ah. It was the two of their families that got them engaged. He nodded and agreed, but what did he do later…

He was seduced by An Qinru and harmed Chi Zhengzheng without the slightest scruple.

Wen Yiran grabbed his hair and was full of remorse.

"It was her bad luck, she was originally a blockhead without ability, she was smart after the car accident, but God is not even on her side, let her live a short life! Hahahaha!" An Qinru continued to laugh, mockingly.

Wen Yiran swept the things on the coffee table to the floor fiercely and glared at her: "Shut up! If you speak again, don't blame me for hitting you!"

His eyes were filled with hatred inside.

An Qinru was taken aback, she took two steps back, opened her mouth, and didn't dare to speak again.

Chi Zhengzheng's situation was very bad, far worse than outsiders could imagine.

When she became vegetative a year ago, it wasn't as frightening as it was now. Ten days ago, she was still alive and kicking, but after she was sent to the hospital, she visibly weakened in just ten days, as if she was going to stop breathing the next moment.

It was like the great hand of destiny, manipulating her towards the end that should've been.

The experts couldn't do anything about this situation.

They said – the patient's current condition, couldn't even be put off for a longer time, it would probably be the last few days.

Then, Wen Yu, who had been calm and convinced that Chi Zhengzheng was just asleep, went crazy.

These experts that he had gotten people to bring in, were again driven away by his madness.

Zheng Ye, Secretary Ning, and Special Assistant Gao were busy putting things in order and sending the doctors away.

Inside the ward, only one doctor remained.

– He was invited from abroad.

He looked at Chi Zhengzheng as if he was looking at a rare object, his voice curious and excited at the same time: "I've never seen this situation before, I checked her previous medical cases, and the damaged nerves inside her head are exactly the same as before! How could she have woken up a year ago? And what's even more amazing is that it's the same situation, she suddenly collapsed again now, it wasn't a direct death, but it's a miraculous step by step to death!"

Zheng Ye felt something was wrong, but he suppressed his suspicions and asked: "Then doctor, is there anything else that can be done to save her now?"

The doctor said: "Now there is only one way, open the skull and see, I want to see with my own eyes what's going on inside her head. This is too amazing!"

"How likely is it to save her?" Zheng Ye asked.

Doctor: "We won't know until we open the skull to see, it should be about 10%."

"Get lost-" Wen Yu looked up and looked at the doctor with eyes that looked like they were about to eat someone.

He did look like he was crazy.

Secretary Ning hesitated, and after a pause, he, who had always been silent, spoke: "Boss, Mr. Zheng, 10% may also be hope, it may be better than this…"

Zheng Ye tugged at him and pushed the still somewhat reluctant doctor out of the ward.

Secretary Ning spoke in Chinese: "Chief Zheng…"

Zheng Ye also replied to him in Chinese: "I know you are worried about them and want to grab a gleam of hope, but this doctor is unreliable. He clearly just wants to study Chi Zhengzheng, 10% is basically dead on the operating table!"

The secretary opened his mouth and blinked his somewhat reddened eyes.

After a while, he said: "But, Miss Chi is really… the boss… the boss can't live with that ah."

Inside the ward, there was a sudden sound –

"Boom bang boom bang!"

Wen Yu was smashing things.

But soon after, they heard Wen Yu's gentle and careful voice again –

"Zhengzheng, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it! I was wrong, were you scared?"

The voice trembled slightly as if a sweet man was coaxing the woman he loved most.

But clearly, that woman wasn't aware of anything right now.
