Chapter 445: Chapter 445

Wu Pingxuan and Meng Ran hurriedly arrived.

Though they were late, they still made it.

"Dad, how’s Mom? She’s so old now, why is she still so easily upset! I just..."

Suddenly, her throat was grabbed and pressed against the wall.

Wu Pingxuan felt her throat was about to break. Her brother Wei Guo glared at her viciously, and the chilling look in his eyes made her realize he truly wanted her dead.

The panic of impending death made her clutch Wei Guo’s hand fiercely; the most broad-hearted and gentle brother now seemed like a messenger from hell.

"Ol...der...brother..."

Meng Ran was terrified, rushed forward, and clung tightly to Wei Guo’s hand. Wu Pingjing also rushed up.

The person in the family who had the deepest affection for their mother was their eldest brother, despite having been in prison for 20 years.

However, their mother had never stopped writing letters to him, caring for him, advising on everything, offering comfort, urging, and missing him, and the person she loved and cared for the most was also their eldest brother.

They had no jealousy, only knew that their mother and eldest brother were destined to be mother and son.

At this moment, their eldest brother’s eyes were red because of their mother.

With just one mistake, he could very easily kill his sister.

"Eldest brother, eldest brother, loosen your grip, loosen your grip; if you really kill the fourth one, can Mom get out of bed? Would Mom want to see us siblings killing each other? For Mom’s sake, you can’t do this.

Wei Guo stared at Wu Pingxuan, her face flushed and now a bit purple, her gaze scattered, almost rolling her eyes.

She was truly about to suffocate to death.

Thinking of their mother’s kind smile, thinking of the person he worried about most in his life.

The one person in the world who was unconditionally devoted to him was his mother.

Wei Guo loosened his hand, and Wu Pingxuan fell to the ground.

Covering her throat, she coughed violently there.

Meng Ran patted her back, helping her catch her breath.

Only then did Wu Pingjing sigh in relief.

Thankfully, their eldest brother hadn’t lost his mind; otherwise, it really would have been a family tragedy.

The Wu family would have been pushed right into the spotlight.

The daughter drove the mother to paralysis in bed, and the son, in anger, killed his sister; if such a thing got out, their Wu family would be thoroughly finished.

In just a moment, Wei Guo rushed to Wu Pingxuan.

His movements were almost inhumanly fast.

Wu Pingxuan hadn’t yet recovered from the fright just now; when she raised her head, she saw her brother’s enlarged face appear right before her.

Startled, she fell backward.

"You...elder...brother...I..."

"Let me tell you, from today onwards, you’re going to take care of Mom at her sickbed honestly. If Mom stays paralyzed in bed for life, you can forget about returning to Hai City; serve Mom here for life, she gave birth to and raised you.

And now you drove her to paralysis in bed, you have to atone."

Wu Pingxuan nodded in fear, atonement!

"I’m willing...I...am willing!"

Though she was unwilling in her heart, how could she dare to object now?

If she dared to express even a hint of disagreement, her eldest brother might strangle her again in the next second.

Especially with her eldest brother, that look in his eyes was terrifying now.

"And personally go and apologize to Doctor Jiang."

He used to know his sister was being raised crookedly, but he always felt detached because he thought he had been away for 20 years, and added to that, his father had once mercilessly severed ties with him.

In this family, everyone knew that his father once declared he didn’t recognise him as a son.

Emotionally, he had no obligation to correct his sister, and psychologically, he felt he had no qualification.

However, from today’s incident, he suddenly felt he should take on the responsibility as the eldest.

His continual detachment had never truly made these matters unrelated to him.

Wu Pingxuan still wanted to say something.

"Hmm! What do you want to say?"

Wei Guo’s dangerous gaze fixed on Wu Pingxuan’s throat.

Wu Pingxuan wilted instantly.

She was scared, this eldest brother now truly frightened her.

It felt like conversing with death, Wu Pingxuan was truly timid, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, now she felt preserving her life was more important.

"I apologize, I will go apologize later."

Soon she bought a train ticket and left, she absolutely didn’t want to keep being threatened by her eldest brother here.

No matter what, he wouldn’t really dare to do anything to her.

He absolutely couldn’t really kill her.

Wei Guo glanced at Wu Pingxuan, "Don’t try anything funny, I have ways to deal with you."

Wu Pingxuan breathed lowly, damn Wei Guo.

Mrs. Wu was pushed out of the ICU, directly sent to a normal ward.

Because now she had been stabilized, staying in the ICU wouldn’t necessarily improve her condition.

In the evening, Wei Guo wanted to keep watch over Mrs. Wu himself, letting the old man and others go back.

It wouldn’t be possible to ask everyone to stay there.

Wu Pingxuan went back home, packed two sets of clothes, and dragged Meng Ran straight to the train station.

She bought a train ticket back to Hai City, got on the train, sat on the sleeper berth, and felt smug; after all, once she went back, what could Wei Guo do to her?

Did he still think he was the old Doctor Wu?

Did everyone still flock to him, respectfully helping him with everything?

Now Wei Guo was like a toothless tiger.

As long as she didn’t show up in front of him, what could he do to her, he couldn’t possibly come to Hai City to chase her down.

Her only guilt was that once she left, she wouldn’t know Mrs. Wu’s situation.

After all, she was her own mother, and she herself had driven her own mother to such a state, which made her feel quite guilty.

However, compared to her own life, compared to her own pride, she thought Mrs. Wu, once she woke up, would understand her as a daughter.

Meng Ran looked out the window, expressionless.

He was completely disappointed in the woman before him, the one he had loved and liked all his life.

It was at this age that all the truth was revealed, showing how cold and heartless this woman was.

Not only toward himself, to her own mother she dared to behave this way, let alone toward him in the future.

Now he understood that Wu Pingxuan only wanted everyone’s affection and love but offered no understanding for anyone, even a little understanding for her relatives might have prevented today’s situation; the person lying in the hospital was her biological mother.

All the Wu family’s affection for her, had Wu Pingxuan never considered that after she left, what if something happened to the elderly?

He had decided, once he returned, he would divorce; he could live without children or reputation, but couldn’t bear to live with such a cruel and heartless woman.

Wu Pingxuan was still smug, thinking she had won.

She could go back to continue her happy little life.
