Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Even if it Means Going Through Fire and Water
She paused for a moment, her gaze shifting slightly before settling on Liu Minjun.
Seeing her open her eyes, Liu Minjun breathed a sigh of relief, “Awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
Hearing Liu Minjun’s voice, Xia Bangguo and He Mingyue hurriedly turned their gazes toward their daughter!
“Xinyu, you’re awake! That’s great!”
Relief was written all over their faces. After all, their daughter was safe, and they had unexpectedly acquired a piece of land that money couldn’t necessarily buy—it was hard not to be happy!
“Dad, Mom, I’m sorry for worrying you,” Xia Xinyu said, tears starting to flow from the corners of her eyes. “Auntie, I’m sorry…”
“I know, in the end, it’s my fault,” Liu Minjun said, holding her hand and sighing. “Xinyu, forget about Jingyao and live well from now on. You’re young and beautiful, and there are plenty of men who would like you. Why make things hard on yourself?”
Xia Xinyu opened her mouth but didn’t speak, her gaze inadvertently drifting toward the doorway of the hospital room.
However, she didn’t see the person she hoped to see.
Her heart soured. Although she knew it was impossible, how wonderful it would have been if she could have seen him the moment she opened her eyes…
By now, the news must have reached his ears, right? By doing this, she thought he’d be pleased.
Remembering the sensation of the knife blade cutting into her wrist, the blood slowly leaving her body, Xia Xinyu felt an intense chill throughout her body.
But it didn’t matter, as long as she could help him, even if it meant walking through fire and water, she wouldn’t utter a complaint.
Liu Minjun looked at the loss in Xia Xinyu’s eyes and couldn’t help but sigh.
She thought Xia Xinyu was waiting for He Jingyao.
“Xinyu, you and Jingyao barely know each other. I really didn’t expect you to like him so much. If only I had known earlier…” Liu Minjun stopped midway.
Xia Xinyu forced a smile, “Auntie, don’t worry about it. I really didn’t mean to do it. It just feels awful…”
Hearing this, Liu Minjun felt even more guilty.
He Mingyue, feeling distressed, gave Liu Minjun a fierce glare, then took her daughter’s hand, “Xinyu, listen to mom, don’t ever do something so foolish again!”
“You were lucky to have been saved this time, but what about next time?” Xia Bangguo added sternly.
“Dad, Mom, I’m sorry…” Xia Xinyu struggled to sit up, her voice hoarse, “Don’t worry, I won’t ever do this again.”
“That’s good, that’s good.” Xia Bangguo said, nodding happily. “He Jingyao agreed to give us a piece of land, you can consider your dealings with him settled. What do you think? I’ll use all the earnings from that land as your dowry.”
Xia Xinyu’s expression changed, “A piece of land?”
“Yes, the one on Qilles Road that was listed recently. It’s a prime location. I was even worried we couldn’t get it, but now He Jingyao is actually giving it to us for free!” Xia Bangguo said, rubbing his hands together with a barely concealed pride.
Liu Minjun sat quietly on the side, but disdain flickered in her eyes.
“No, we can’t accept it!” Xia Xinyu protested vehemently, shaking her head. “If we do, what does that make me?”
“Xinyu, I know this wasn’t your intention, but the He family does owe you,” He Mingyue spoke, her displeasure evident as she cast a glance at Liu Minjun, “If He Jingyao is willing to give it, why shouldn’t we accept it!”
“Exactly!” Xia Bangguo frowned slightly.
