Xiang Jingchen saw that Yan Xi didn't want to talk about topics related to Fu Yan Ting, so he wisely stopped asking.
Xiang Jingchen was unaware of the news of Fu Yan Ting's death. After all, Fu Yan Ting's death was faked, and the Fu family would not publicize it on a large scale. Therefore, very few people knew about Fu Yan Ting's death.
"Sister, if you have time, can you return to Kyoto?"
Xiang Jingchen asked softly.
"Did something happen?"
Yan Xi's intuition told her something had happened; otherwise, Xiang Jingchen wouldn't have said that to her. Yan Xi's heart hung in suspense, anxiously awaiting Xiang Jingchen's answer.
"Yes, your mother suddenly had food poisoning and is not out of danger yet. She has been sent to the emergency room."
Yan Xi was stunned when she heard Xiang Jingchen's words. How could this be?
Although Yan Xi hadn't interacted with Yao Wan Qi for long, she knew Yao Wan Qi was mentally unwell. However, Yao Wan Qi was quite a picky eater. How could she have poisoned herself?
Yan Xi's intuition told her that Yao Wan Qi's food poisoning was probably not as simple as it seemed.
Now, Yan Yi was studying in another city, and Yan Xi didn't want to disturb him. After a moment of silence, seeing Yan Xi's lack of response, Xiang Jingchen thought Yan Xi had encountered some trouble.
Xiang Jingchen said in a low voice, "Sister, if you are busy with something, you don't need to worry about Kyoto. I will take good care of Auntie here."
"No, I'll come back to take care of her."
Yan Xi finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Without further ado, Yan Xi quickly booked the soonest flight to Kyoto.
Meanwhile, Mu Jingchen had lost several major projects recently, and the Mu family was very dissatisfied with him. Mu Jingchen had no credibility left in the Mu family. Mu Jingchen knew very well that if he continued to stay in the Mu family, it would not end well for him.
With his abilities, he was confident that it wouldn't be long before the Mu family begged him to return and inherit the family fortune.
Mu Jingchen had always been a proud person. If it weren't for his mother's threat to commit suicide, he might not have stayed in the Mu family to manage the company so reluctantly until now.
With Mu Jingchen's current wealth and abilities, the mere Mu family was not something he took seriously.
Mu Jingchen resigned from his position as CEO of the company. Mu Jingchen's mother vehemently disagreed. Looking at Mu Jingchen, she cried, "I asked you to return to the Mu family, not to give up the inheritance. How can you do this to me now?"
Mu Jingchen just felt tired.
In his mother's eyes, he could only inherit the family fortune, and he was incapable of building a commercial empire of his own.
"Mom, can't you see? Those projects were all the little tricks Mu Jingyan played. Not only did the Mu family not reprimand Mu Jingyan, but they blamed me. It's clear they never genuinely wanted me to return to inherit the family fortune."
"I don't care. Since I found a way to get you back into the Mu family, you can't give up so easily."
Mu Jingchen found his mother's attitude unbelievable.
In his mother's heart, he was just a pawn to inherit the family fortune.
She had no idea what Mu Jingchen truly wanted.
"Mom, I have something to attend to in Kyoto. If there's anything important, please wait until I get back."
"Mu Jingchen, the Mu family is practically driving you out now, and you're not even worried, but you're thinking about going to Kyoto. Do you even take what I say to heart? Do you know what I want?"
Mu Jingchen was truly vexed. This was the first time he had ignored his mother and left without looking back.
Watching Mu Jingchen's departing back.
His mother stomped her feet in anger.
However, she could do nothing about Mu Jingchen.
When Yan Xi arrived in Kyoto, she had just gotten off the plane. Before she could even put down her luggage, she called Xiang Jingchen to go to the hospital to see Yao Wan Qi.
Yan Xi was very uneasy on the way.
She didn't know if Yao Wan Qi still remembered her.
She didn't know if Yao Wan Qi was out of danger.
With a heart full of unease, Yan Xi arrived at the hospital. When Xiang Jingchen saw Yan Xi, he waved at her. Yan Xi walked over and saw only Xiang Jingchen outside the emergency room. Yan Xi frowned and asked, "Are you the only one at the hospital?"
Xiang Jingchen knew what Yan Xi meant.
Xiang Jingchen nodded and explained, "Grandpa said that since Auntie is already like this, perhaps death would be a release for her, so he didn't send her to the hospital. If I had gone back two days later, Auntie would have been dead."
Yan Xi clenched her fists tightly when she heard Xiang Jingchen's words.
Yan Xi knew very well that if Yao Wan Qi had been sent to the hospital earlier, perhaps she wouldn't have been so severely ill. However, old Mr. Yao had not done so.
No matter what state Yao Wan Qi was in, she was still his biological daughter.
How heartless could a person be to be so cruel to their own daughter?
Xiang Jingchen knew Yan Xi was angry, but he couldn't defend old Mr. Yao. He was also very angry about this matter.
Even though Yao Wan Qi was mentally unwell, she was still a life.
Xiang Jingchen didn't understand how old Mr. Yao could be so cruel to his own daughter.
Yan Xi waited with Xiang Jingchen outside the ward. It wasn't until Yao Wan Qi was out of danger that she weakly collapsed onto the ground.
Too many things had happened in the past few days. Coupled with the fact that Yan Xi had knelt outside the Fu family's door for three days and two nights, she had a severe cold and hadn't fully recovered. Now, the arduous journey had led to her exhaustion, and she fainted.
Xiang Jingchen carried Yan Xi back to the ward and called the doctor to examine her. After the examination, the doctor confirmed that Yan Xi was just exhausted and anemic, and would be fine after some rest.
After giving Yan Xi a glucose drip, Xiang Jingchen stayed in the ward to watch over her.
Looking at Yan Xi sleeping soundly, Xiang Jingchen felt a mix of emotions.
When he learned that Yan Xi was Yao Wan Qi's biological daughter, Xiang Jingchen's heart was complicated.
Over the years, Yao Wan Qi had suffered from mental illness due to the loss of her child. Now that her child was back, even though Yao Wan Qi was still somewhat deranged, it brought her some comfort.
However, on the other hand, Xiang Jingchen felt a pang of sadness.
Yan Xi was the first girl to enter his inner world. He had once thought that after Yan Xi separated from Fu Yan Ting, he would pursue Yan Xi and have her stay by his side, taking care of her for the rest of his life.
Even though he was married now.
Xiang Jingchen knew very well that Yan Xi was the only "white moonlight" in his heart.
