Chapter 646 Dawn (52)
"Xiao Xi, is this your true colors?" Chu Huian's voice was unexpectedly calm. "You instigated Xiang Yong to kidnap Zhenzhen, not only to ruin Zhenzhen, but also to get rid of Xiang Yong, because you know very well that I will not let Xiang Yong off easily after he kidnaps Zhenzhen."
Yan Zhen interjected at the opportune moment: "You can."
Chu Huian frowned: "What?"
“Yan Yuxi knows you very well,” Yan Zhen said. “Xiang Yong kidnapped me to take nude photos to blackmail you. If he succeeds, he will come to your door with the nude photos and demand money. In order to protect me, or rather, in order to save face, you will definitely compromise and pay money to settle the matter. Yan Yuxi is certain that you are the kind of person who would swallow your pride and suffer for the sake of face, which is why she encouraged Xiang Yong to do such a thing.”
Chu Huian: "..."
She suddenly felt a sense of crisis, as if someone had exploited her weaknesses.
The thought that the person who had exploited her weaknesses was her adopted daughter, which had been the source of Chu Huian's anger, which had been masked by extreme disappointment, suddenly flared up. She raised her hand and slapped Yan Yuxi hard across the face.
Yan Yuxi's body trembled from the slap, and the water glass in her hand almost flew out of her hand.
She steadied herself, and when she turned to look at Chu Huian again, her eyes were filled with tears.
"Mom, I didn't," Yan Yuxi protested, covering her face. "What kind of witness is Xu Yingxia? Does she necessarily mean what she says is true? How do you know it's not Yan Zhen and Xu Yingxia framing me together? After all, Yan Zhen was raised by Xu Yingxia; they are mother and daughter. What if they want to work together to drive me out of the Yan family..."
"Xiao Xi, stop talking." Xu Yingxia interrupted her softly. "Yan Zhen said that as long as I tell the truth, he will issue a letter of understanding to reduce your brother's sentence by a few years. Let's not argue for your brother's sake, okay?"
Yan Yuxi: "..."
Her face contorted and twisted visibly, and then, without warning, she threw the cup of hot water in her hand at Xu Yingxia.
Xu Yingxia was caught off guard and splashed in the face, the scalding heat making her jump and hop around, yelling, "Ah! Ahhhhhh..."
Jing Chen immediately stepped forward and pulled Yan Zhen, who was closest to Xu Yingxia, away to prevent her from being accidentally injured by the hot-eyed Xu Yingxia.
Xu Yingxia jumped a few times, then turned and rushed into the bathroom, where the sound of running water soon filled the air.
After a fit of anger, Yan Yuxi finally realized that there was no turning back. Instead, she calmed down, silently put the cup on the table, and took a tissue from the bedside table to wipe the water stains that had splashed on the hospital bed.
Looking at her actions, Chu Huian said coldly, "You don't need to try to please me anymore. I will not forgive you."
Yan Yuxi paused in her wiping motion.
"You can leave now. I'll have someone issue a certificate proving you're not my daughter, and you'll no longer be a member of the Yan family."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yuxi suddenly threw the wet tissue in her hand onto the bed and sneered in a defiant manner: "Fine, I've had enough of this kind of life."
Chu Huian was taken aback by her contemptuous gesture.
"You don't actually think you're a good mother, do you?" Yan Yuxi said viciously. "You skeleton monster who lost brains while dieting, I've been disgusted by you for a long time!"
"To cater to your distorted aesthetic, I haven't had a full meal since I can remember!"
"You buy me things and give me gifts, so I have to be grateful. Not saying thank you is rude and ungrateful! Did I beg you to buy me these things? If you're so lacking in emotional value, why don't you go out and hire a male escort?"
"You blame me for being useless just because Yan Yi doesn't give you a kind look? Who the hell is useless? It's you who's useless, it's your belly that's useless. You can't keep Yan Yi's heart and you can't give him a son! You deserve to be cheated on!"
"You live your whole life according to other people's opinions. You're happy when others say you're beautiful and you're emotionally drained when others say you're ugly. You have no sense of self at all. Your personality isn't even healthy. What right do you have to point fingers at me and teach me how to be a person?"
"Did you inject those hyaluronic acid injections in the wrong places? Instead of using them on your face, they flattened out the wrinkles on your head?"
"Your double eyelid surgery looks awful! Your skin looks like you've been dead for three days! You're an ugly old witch who doesn't even realize it! You ugly freak!"
With each sentence Yan Yuxi spoke, Chu Hui'an's expression grew increasingly grim.
After Yan Yuxi finished venting her frustrations, she looked refreshed, while Chu Huian's face was clouded with gloom, and her chest heaved rapidly.
"You..." Chu Huian was both anxious and angry, but her upbringing prevented her from saying anything harsh. "Are you crazy?!"
In response, Yan Yuxi rolled her eyes and turned to leave.
When she reached the door, Yan Yuxi bumped into Aunt Zhang, who was carrying chicken soup. Aunt Zhang noticed that Yan Yuxi's expression was off and quickly asked, "Xiao Xi, where are you going?"
Yan Yuxi ignored her and walked away.
Aunt Zhang entered the ward with a puzzled look on her face. She saw that Chu Huian was pale and breathing rapidly, while Yan Zhen and Jing Chen stood to the side with identical expressions of watching a good show.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang rushed over to support Chu Huian, patting her chest to help her catch her breath: "Madam, don't be angry, don't be angry. What if you ruin your health..."
Chu Huian pointed to the door, her hand trembling as if she had suffered a stroke: "That ingrate! That ingrate..."
The more she spoke, the more agitated she became. Her body suddenly leaned back, her limbs twitched, and her hands bent into a claw-like shape.
Aunt Zhang was shocked: "Madam? Madam, what's wrong? Madam, don't scare me!"
Yan Zhen and Jing Chen exchanged a glance, both showing helpless expressions.
The two divided the work: Jing Chen turned around and went out to find a doctor, while Yan Zhen untied the plastic bag that Aunt Zhang used to hold the thermos cup, put it over Chu Huian's head, and tied a knot under her chin.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang hurriedly tried to stop her: "What are you doing? Can't you see that Madam can't breathe? You're going to suffocate her!"
Yan Zhen pushed her hand away: "She has respiratory alkalosis. Just put a bag over her to balance the acid-base balance in her body... Hey, don't move. She's my own mother. Would I hurt her?"
Aunt Zhang was skeptical, but seeing that Chu Huian had taken a few rapid breaths and her convulsions had indeed subsided, and her body wasn't shaking as badly anymore, she asked, "Madam, you've been poisoned? Who poisoned you?"
"No one poisoned her. She's just emotionally agitated, which caused her to breathe too fast and exhale too much carbon dioxide. This has led to an imbalance in her body's acid-base balance, causing her blood pH to rise and resulting in respiratory alkalosis. In other words, she's just angry. Just put a bag over her head so she can inhale the carbon dioxide she exhales back in."
Aunt Zhang seemed to understand but not quite: "I see..."
“That’s right, you should learn from this.” Yan Zhen glanced at Chu Huian and said seriously, “If any ungrateful person calls her ugly and makes her angry in the future, she might be able to use this.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the person under the bag began to breathe rapidly again.
