I Became the Matchmaker Between My Father and Wife - Chapter 187

Hearing that I wanted to know about my family situation, her icy expression softened, and she relaxed considerably. In any case, my willingness to inquire about my family meant there was still room for negotiation, making her job much easier. If she couldn't persuade me, she was perfectly capable of forcing me back, but she understood the principle that forced relationships are never happy.
Leng Bingshuang began to slowly recount her story, while I listened intently, smoking a cigarette. It turned out that after I left home, I called my mother-in-law and told her to come to my house immediately to look after Xiaoying. At the same time, Xiaoying also called Leng Bingshuang. Xiaoying told Leng Bingshuang that she had helped find me and Haohao out of consideration for our years of friendship, but she didn't ask her to bring us back. She only told Leng Bingshuang to take good care of me and our son, fearing we might suffer or encounter any danger outside. After this brief explanation, Xiaoying hung up. Leng Bingshuang felt very strange, as if Xiaoying was giving her last instructions. Moreover, Leng Bingshuang didn't understand the whole story from Xiaoying's brief words. When Leng Bingshuang tried to call Xiaoying again, she found that Xiaoying's phone was switched off.
A bad feeling crept into her heart. She, who had been preparing to rest, quickly led her people out and rushed to my house. When she arrived, she found my mother-in-law and father-in-law outside. My door was locked, and my in-laws were anxiously knocking. Leng Bing Shuang arrived shortly after, knowing that my in-laws had also just arrived. Xiao Ying's phone was off, my phone was off, the door was locked from the inside, and no one answered the knocking. My in-laws stood outside, seemingly helpless. Just as they were about to call the police, Leng Bing Shuang arrived with her men.
The parents-in-law, of course, recognized Leng Bing Shuang, and at that moment, they clung to her for help as if it were a lifeline. Leng Bing Shuang stopped them from calling the police, and then had one of her men unlock the door. It wasn't surprising that Leng Bing Shuang had someone skilled in lock picking. Many of her men were former special forces soldiers, though they were all in civilian clothes. Lock picking was child's play for special forces personnel.
Upon opening the door, the room was pitch black. Turning on the light, we saw Xiaoying lying neatly dressed on our wedding bed, seemingly asleep. A closer look revealed her pale face and purple lips; anyone with a little experience would know she had poisoned herself. My parents-in-law were terrified, clutching Xiaoying and wailing. Leng Bingshuang immediately ordered her men to carry Xiaoying downstairs and then drove to the top hospital she knew and had connections to. Simultaneously, she contacted the best doctors on her phone to prepare. When Xiaoying arrived at the hospital, all the relevant doctors and nurses were ready and waiting.
According to Leng Bingshuang, Xiaoying was lying quietly on our shared bed, dressed neatly and with makeup on. Her hands were clasped in front of her chest, holding a family photo of me, Xiaoying, and Haohao. On the computer desk next to her was a suicide note with only a few words. While Leng Bingshuang was recounting her story, she handed me Xiaoying's suicide note. I opened it and saw the crumpled paper; it was definitely wet. However, seeing the water droplets, I could imagine that Xiaoying had written the note while she was crying.
"Mom and Dad, please don't blame your daughter for leaving without saying goodbye. It was your daughter who did something wrong, betraying Jincheng, betraying our love and marriage, and doing something that hurt him. It's all my own fault, please don't blame Jincheng. Jincheng has left me, and I have no husband or son left. I have nothing left to live for. Now I only wish to become a wandering ghost after I die, drifting beside my husband and son. As long as I can see them and silently accompany them, I will be content. Mom and Dad, please take care of yourselves and forgive me for abandoning you."
Unfilial daughter: Qu Ying
In addition, there was a will. After Xiaoying's death, she planned to leave the house and all her money to Haohao, asking her parents-in-law to keep it safe. After reading the will and the will, although I pretended to be strong, I couldn't control myself in the end. I raised my head, trying not to let the tears fall from my eyes. The tears didn't flow out of my eyes, but into my nasal cavity, and then into my throat. For the first time, I tasted my own tears. I realized that my own tears were salty too.
"How is she?" After tilting my head back and controlling my emotions for a while, I couldn't help but ask, holding Xiaoying's suicide note and will. No matter what, whether I admit it or not, I still love Xiaoying. The reason I made this decision is simply because I love her so much and I care so much about her. After learning what happened, my biggest concern was Xiaoying's health.
"She's awake and out of danger. Although the stomach pump brought up the medication, the delayed discovery meant Xiaoying still absorbed some of the drug's components, severely impacting her bodily functions and brain. We need to continue monitoring her condition. Furthermore, Xiaoying is frequently in a deep sleep, unwilling to wake up for extended periods. Even when she does, she's dazed and silent, as if she's lost her soul. Your and Haohao's departure has completely shattered her spirit. That's why I've come to you. I hope you and Haohao can go back to awaken and encourage her, giving her hope for a new life. After all, you and Haohao are the people she cares about most. If you don't go back, Xiaoying will continue to sink into despair. According to the doctor, even if her physical health is fine, her mental state means she won't live much longer..." Leng Bing Shuang's emotions had softened considerably. Perhaps she could see my feelings for Xiaoying; I still loved her, so she spoke to me much more gently.
"How did she get her hands on the poison? Isn't poison strictly controlled?" I felt very strange at this point, because I had specifically checked the house before I left and didn't find any poison at all.
"Xiaoying didn't eat poison; she ate all the medicine you had stored in your house, including cold medicine, stomach medicine, and so on. I found empty medicine boxes and blister packs on the coffee table in your living room. She ate two or three bowls of medicine," Leng Bing Shuang replied. "Yes, I had a lot of medicine stored in my drawers, all bought by Xiaoying for emergencies. There were even some leftover medicine from my father's previous medications. Xiaoying actually ate all of that. All medicine is poisonous; those medicines combined could kill someone several times over."
"Who has read the suicide note?" I couldn't help but ask. The affair had finally come to light, but Xiaoying hadn't revealed who she had cheated with. I knew she wanted to preserve her father's reputation to avoid affecting his and Aunt Zhang's future lives. If Xiaoying had revealed her father's identity in the suicide note, she probably wouldn't be the only one to die. Her father would likely have been either beaten to death or drowned in public scorn.
"Your father, Aunt Zhang, and your parents-in-law all know, and of course, me too. There's no one else. After all, this is a shameful matter, and we need to protect your and Hao Hao's reputation," Leng Bing Shuang replied, though there seemed to be a hint of something unusual in her expression. I didn't know what that fleeting expression meant. My father knows too? How is he now? He's probably filled with remorse, or at least utterly ashamed. I wanted to ask Leng Bing Shuang how my father was, but I swallowed the words back. Knowing Leng Bing Shuang's shrewdness, she would discover the deception at any moment.
"Have you thought it through? Are you ready to come back with me?" Leng Bing Shuang asked, looking at me silently for a long time. This was the reason why she had gone to so much trouble to find me.
"I'll go back with you..." I didn't hesitate at all. Xiaoying was in such a state; if I didn't go back, she probably wouldn't live much longer. Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness; I couldn't possibly not save Xiaoying. Besides, I still loved her, and I was extremely worried about her being in danger.
"Alright, let's set off and fly back right away..." After hearing my words, Leng Bing Shuang smiled again. Being able to persuade me to go back on my own initiative was the result she wanted most.
"Even if I don't go back, you'll still tie me up and take me back, right?" I asked Leng Bing Shuang with a wry smile as I stood up from the ground.
"No, I won't kidnap you. Forced love is never sweet. But you don't have to go back, but Hao Hao must come back with me. You can leave Xiao Ying, but you can't deprive Xiao Ying of her rights as a mother. Even without you, you must at least leave something for Xiao Ying to cherish, something to sustain her life." Leng Bing Shuang stood up, preparing to summon her subordinates to start the plane, but she stopped abruptly before even pressing the intercom, as if she had remembered something.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. Aunt Zhang has left, and we don't know where she is now..." Leng Bing Shuang said, looking at me with a hint of doubt on her face.
"What? Aunt Zhang is gone? When?" My heart clenched again. Aunt Zhang's sudden departure... could it be...?
"On the morning of the third day after you left, she gave me a note before she left, telling me to call her this number if I found you, and also instructing me to find you. I could sense that she seemed very sad and worried about you when she left..." Leng Bing Shuang handed me a note with Aunt Zhang's neat handwriting and a new phone number. At that moment, I had a bad feeling. I took out my phone to call Aunt Zhang back. Aunt Zhang was someone I respected very much, and I didn't want anything to go wrong.
"I'll go check on Hao Hao first. You make the call here. Let me know when you're done so the plane can take off and we can get back as soon as possible..." Leng Bing Shuang deliberately withdrew, leaving the entire office to me. It was only then that I realized what Leng Bing Shuang's slightly unusual expression meant. Perhaps she was thinking about something. Xiao Ying's affair, Aunt Zhang's departure—if you connected these things and made some connections, it was very likely she would suspect my father and Xiao Ying. I guess Leng Bing Shuang had also considered this possibility, but she just didn't want to believe it. Perhaps she also realized she was overthinking things; after all, the truth can't be guessed.
Thinking of Leng Bing Shuang's shrewd appearance, I glanced back at the tightly closed office door. I looked around the office to see if there were any surveillance cameras or anything. What if I made a phone call later and it was being tapped? But thinking about it carefully, although Leng Bing Shuang was a woman, she did things in a grand and domineering way, with a kind of masculine charisma. She would disdain doing such petty things.
I shook my head, took out my phone with incredibly mixed feelings, and dialed the number on the slip of paper. The call connected, and I waited for the person on the other end to answer...
