"Then let’s do it on Saturday, Yifeng happens to be on vacation," Mrs. Su tentatively asked.
"Hmm." The man’s voice remained indifferent, containing a hint of detachment.
"Alright, then we..." Mrs. Su was about to exchange a few more pleasantries when the mechanical sound of "beep beep beep..." came from the other end, clearly indicating the call had been hung up.
Mrs. Su moved the phone away from her ear, and her gaze suddenly became sharp.
She had merely called him "brother-in-law," and his reaction was so intense.
Many years ago, Meng Heming indeed said that she was not allowed to call him "brother-in-law." Even though so many years have passed, Mrs. Su still hasn’t forgotten how resolute he was when he said that, and the expression of disgust he wore.
He obviously married her elder sister; it would have been natural for her to call him "brother-in-law," yet he insisted on drawing a line with her family. Even his legitimately wedded wife was severely neglected by him, all of which Mrs. Su saw clearly.
She felt it was unfair for her sister!
After a sigh, Mrs. Su snapped out of her troubled reverie, and thinking of the little girl named "An Yin" beside her youngest son, a sense of foreboding arose in her heart.
Mrs. Su said to the driver in front,
"To the rehabilitation center!"
"Yes, ma’am." Upon hearing her words, the driver swiftly started the car and drove towards the address Mrs. Su had mentioned.
The drivers who stayed by Mrs. Su’s side all knew that every once in a while, Mrs. Su would visit the best rehabilitation center in T City. The patients residing there were almost all mental patients, and Mrs. Su’s elder sister lived inside too.
As the scenery along the road flashed by, the expression on Mrs. Su’s face grew more and more serious.
Over the past two years, her sister’s condition was still fluctuating, but at least there were no incidents of self-harm anymore. For Mrs. Su, this was already considered a comforting matter.
The rehabilitation center was located in the suburbs, nestled against mountains and waters, with picturesque scenery. Being there felt refreshing to the body and mind, allowing one to observe the lush greenery around. Not only that, but the entertainment facilities inside were also very well-equipped. What outsiders didn’t know was that this top-tier rehabilitation center was funded by the Meng Family, and what they knew even less was that the rumored loving couple of the Meng Family, Mrs. Meng was actually residing in this rehabilitation center.
The driver’s car drove straight to the underground parking lot on level minus one.
After the driver got out of the car, he went to the back seat and opened the door. Mrs. Su put her sunglasses back on with elegance, stepped out of the car gracefully, and the driver followed by her side. The two walked towards the elevator.
The elevator went straight to the eighteenth floor.
Next, the driver skillfully went to the doctor’s office and requested to visit the patient.
Mrs. Su sat in the lobby, waiting for the upcoming meeting.
Visiting a mental patient wasn’t as simple as an ordinary visit.
A few minutes later, a nurse followed behind the driver, and Mrs. Su immediately stood up.
Led by the nurse, they arrived at a ward door. Mrs. Su had been here many times, and every time she stood at the ward door, her heart was filled with emotion, while her hatred towards Meng Heming deepened!
If it weren’t for this man, her sister wouldn’t have...
Thinking of this, tears filled under the sunglasses, and Mrs. Su forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart, her lips slightly twitching in anger. Thinking of facing her sister soon, Mrs. Su worked hard to control her emotions. This update ıs available on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍
In the world of adults, they are skilled at pretending; soon, her face returned to normal, and she took off her glasses, with her eyes showing no sign of waves!
"Mrs. Su, please come in. If there’s anything unusual, just shout, and we’ll be waiting outside at any time!" the nurse instructed.
Mrs. Su had heard these words from the nurse so often that she didn’t even lift her eyelid, walking straight into the room.
The driver wisely did not follow inside.
The door to the ward was ajar, allowing those outside to enter immediately if needed.
Mrs. Su walked step by step on the warm yellow floor. All the furnishings inside leaned towards warm tones, and every corner was empty without any decorations. But there was a soft light blue sofa placed near the window, and at that moment, a fragile woman was lying on it.
As Mrs. Su slowly approached, she could clearly see the side profile of the other person.
"Sister!" Mrs. Su stopped about three to four meters away from the other person, her gaze intently fixed on her.
In contrast to Mrs. Su’s excitement, the woman lying on the sofa appeared very calm, not even moving her body, her hollow eyes staring at the moonlight coming through the window.
Seeing the other person unresponsive, Mrs. Su overcame her inner fear and took a few more steps towards her.
Quickly, the distance between the two was just about a meter away.
This time, Mrs. Su changed the address and called out tremblingly, "Xu Ming!"
Lying on the sofa, Xu Ming exuded a lazy aura; she wasn’t wearing a hospital gown, but rather a light blue long dress, and even her long hair was tied into a ponytail with a light blue hairband.
Back then, she wasn’t yet Mrs. Su, but she was always chasing after Xu Ming, asking why. It wasn’t until Xu Ming became annoyed by her questioning that she revealed her love for light blue, because Meng Heming adored the color, so Xu Ming extended her love to everything related!
Back then, when Mrs. Su heard her sister’s words, she expressed deep disdain!
In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, yet Xu Ming’s preferences haven’t changed!
"You’re here!" Xu Ming seemed to have just realized someone came in, her voice carrying a bit of hoarseness.
Mrs. Su didn’t question the reason in detail. After all, she had witnessed her sister’s episodes, where shouting and yelling were common, easily damaging the throat.
"Sister!" Mrs. Su called out to her once more.
"Sit down." Xu Ming looked a bit dazed.
"Alright." Mrs. Su moved to a nearby seat beside Xu Ming, planning to sit down.
"Wait." Xu Ming anxiously lay on the sofa, protecting the spot where her sister was about to sit, nervously saying, "You should sit there." Xu Ming pointed to the bed in the center.
Mrs. Su’s action of bending down froze mid-air. To avoid provoking an intense reaction from the other, she nodded and walked towards the distant bed, forcing a smile, "Okay!"
The next second, Xu Ming softly said, "Heming doesn’t like others touching his things. He’d get angry!"
Again with Meng Heming!
Hearing her sister muttering to herself, Mrs. Su was overcome with a strong feeling of bitterness.
She even wondered if, over these years, did Meng Heming ever visit his wife in the rehabilitation center? Did he know someone inside was longing for him? Mrs. Su felt it was unfair for her sister!
These negative emotions, she dared not easily voice, because the next words she was still hesitating whether to tell her sister!
