Chapter 86

As Ye Xi tumbled down the stairs, Luo Minglu suddenly stood up.

"Are you crazy?" he wanted to go down and save Ye Xi.

Luo Xiaomei grabbed Luo Minglu's hand, her voice urgent and fast, "Don't go, she wants a divorce from you. If she dies, the company and the house will be ours."

Luo Minglu's attempt to shake off Luo Xiaomei's grip paused.

Watching Ye Xi continue to roll down the stairs, her head hitting the corner of the steps, eventually losing consciousness, Luo Minglu did not move.

Luo Xiaomei knew she had convinced him, "As long as Ye Xi dies, everything she owns will be ours. There's no one else here, you can just say she lost her balance and fell down the stairs. No one will know what we did."

Luo Minglu's pupils contracted as he looked at Ye Xi's position, where blood was starting to flow.

He clenched his fists tightly.

The divorce agreement Ye Xi had given him, the thought of being left with nothing after the divorce, Luo Minglu stood there, his hands clenched into fists, unmoving.

Seeing that Luo Minglu had come to his senses, Luo Xiaomei smiled, "Afterward, you and I, along with Xiao Pei, will live a happy life as a family. Ye Xi's health was already poor, and it's normal for her to lose her footing and fall down the stairs due to weakness."

"You two murderers, go and live happily in prison," Su Ci said angrily.

"Miss!" The butler, seeing Ye Xi lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, hurried forward in panic.

Su Ci was about to ask Lu Zhe to call an ambulance, but Lu Zhe had already dialed the number.

Su Ci approached, "She hit her head."

Seeing Ye Xi's dress stained red with blood, "Is she pregnant?"

The butler's panicked face was filled with confusion.

"Butler, you call the police first, and keep an eye on those two, don't let them escape," Su Ci said, worried that Ye Xi might have other injuries and didn't dare to move her.

The butler stood up, looking angrily at the two people upstairs, "You pushed Miss down the stairs, I heard it all just now."

He took out his phone and immediately called the police.

Luo Xiaomei didn't expect so many people to suddenly appear, "Minglu, what should we do?"

Luo Minglu clenched Luo Xiaomei's hand tightly and said in a low voice, "You pushed her."

"What do you mean?" Luo Xiaomei looked at Luo Minglu in disbelief, "You want to incriminate me?"

Luo Minglu shouted angrily, "You pushed her down, I wanted to save Ye Xi, but you stopped me."

"I'm Xiao Pei's mother, how can you treat me like this?" Luo Xiaomei was anxious and flustered, lowering her voice, "If you point me out, I'll say you were the one who instigated me, and neither of us will get off easy."

Luo Minglu glared at her fiercely, his neck veins bulging, gritting his teeth and said: "Ye Xi lost her footing on her own!"

Only then did Luo Xiaomei breathe a sigh of relief, realizing that her back was soaked with cold sweat.

Su Ci watched Ye Xi's life value, which was down to six minutes.

She didn't know if the ambulance would arrive in time.

"Do you have any white gauze? Or a clean handkerchief will do, we need to stop the bleeding for Ye Xi first," Su Ci asked the butler.

"We have gauze," the butler immediately ran to get the first aid kit.

Su Ci quickly took the white gauze handed over by the butler, carefully lifted Ye Xi's head, and gently parted her hair to find the wound.

She placed the white gauze on the wound and pressed her fingers against the skin around the bleeding area.

This was a first aid measure she had accidentally learned from the internet, and she wasn't sure if it would work.

Su Ci watched Ye Xi's life value, time ticking away, she pursed her lips tightly, continuing to press around the wound with her hand.

Ye Xi's blood-soaked dress became more and more, and Su Ci guessed that Ye Xi must be pregnant.

She was too late.

Fu Gui had said that Ye Xi died from falling down the stairs, she had thought she could prevent Ye Xi from falling, but didn't expect Ye Xi had already fallen down the stairs, slowly bleeding to death.

She pursed her lips tightly.

The butler had people subdue Luo Minglu and Luo Xiaomei, waiting for the police and ambulance to arrive.

"Uncle Qi, Ye Xi lost her footing and rolled down the stairs, by the time I chased after her, she was already lying on the ground," Luo Minglu explained, "I know you're protective of your master, but you're really misunderstanding us."

The butler shouted angrily, "I don't want to hear your excuses, it's you and this woman who harmed Miss, the police will be here soon, you can explain to them."

Luo Minglu clenched his teeth, "Do you want to slander me in front of the police? Ye Xi is my wife, why would I harm her?"

Su Ci couldn't stand it anymore, "Shut up. Do you still know she's your wife? If you really treated her as your wife, with her lying here, on the verge of death, you wouldn't be busy defending yourself instead of even glancing at her injuries. Do you know she's pregnant?"

Luo Minglu was shocked, he subconsciously took a step back, "How could that be..."

Luo Xiaomei grabbed Luo Minglu's hand, her sharp nails almost piercing into Luo Minglu's flesh, reminding him, "Even if Ye Xi is pregnant, in the end, it's because of her weak body, losing her footing, knowing her condition, she should have been more careful going downstairs. When Minglu and I came out of the study, we already saw her lying at the bottom of the stairs."

Luo Xiaomei forced herself to stay calm, "You didn't see how Ye Xi fell, so why accuse us? Without evidence, even the police won't be able to do anything."

Su Ci didn't want to waste words with them, she watched Ye Xi's life value drop to two minutes.

Then, it became one minute.

"How far is the hospital from here?" Su Ci asked the butler.

The butler replied, "About a ten-minute drive, no traffic, just ten minutes."

Su Ci's gaze darkened, it wasn't enough time.

She pressed on Ye Xi's wound at the back of her head, hoping to stop the bleeding, as for the child in her womb, she didn't know if it could be saved.

One minute left.

Su Ci nervously watched Ye Xi's life value decreasing, the red line barely visible.

Thirty seconds.

Twenty seconds.

Su Ci slowed her breathing.

Lu Zhe beside her felt the girl's tension, he gently stroked her back, not making a sound to disturb her.

Just as Ye Xi's life value was about to reach zero, Su Ci quickly leaned down, whispered into Ye Xi's ear, "Ye Xi, hold on, the ambulance is almost here, think of Ye Shangjin, if you're not there, do you want him to live with a stepmother?"

Su Ci reached out, tightly grasped Ye Xi's hand, "For Ye Shangjin, hold on a little longer!"

The butler was anxious, wiping tears beside him, he had been by Old Man Ye's side, watching Ye Xi grow up, disrespectfully speaking, he treated Ye Xi as half his daughter, now that she was in trouble, he would have no face to see Old Man Ye after he passed away.

As Ye Xi's life value was about to disappear, turning to zero, Su Ci instinctively held her breath, tightening her grip on Ye Xi's hand.

Ten seconds.

Five seconds.

One second.

In the next second after turning to zero, Su Ci saw Ye Xi's life suddenly change to twenty minutes.

Su Ci's eyes lit up, there was hope.

The high-strung heart was temporarily relieved, Su Ci breathed a sigh of relief.

It was great that Ye Xi could hold on.

Soon, the ambulance arrived.

They checked Ye Xi's wounds, found that the bleeding from the head had temporarily stopped, but the blood from the lower body continued to flow.

The paramedics quickly moved her to the ambulance for treatment.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

At the same time, the police arrived and took Luo Minglu and Luo Xiaomei into custody.

"Mommy, Mommy..." Little fatty Ye Shangjin, along with Little Su Ning and Little Tiancai, had been chasing each other in the garden, suddenly seeing his mommy being carried out, covered in blood, he was immediately scared to tears.

He ran to catch up.

Su Ci came out, seeing the little fatty crying so hard, she went over and hugged him.

"Mommy, I want my mommy," the little fatty wriggled his chubby little body, struggling, and Su Ci could hardly hold him.

Su Ci comforted him, "Your mommy just had an accident and fell. Now she's going to the hospital for the doctors to help treat her. You stay at home quietly, and your sister will go and watch over your mommy, okay?"

"Mommy is bleeding a lot, I'm scared," the little fatty knew that bleeding would hurt. He had once injured his little finger and bled, and it hurt a lot. Mommy is bleeding so much; she must be in a lot of pain.

Su Ci gently stroked his little head and said, "Your mother is very strong, you have to believe in your mother. Be a good boy and stay at home, Ning Ning, Tian Cai, you two take care of Shang Jin, I'll come back to pick you up later."

"Shang Jin, your mom will be fine, don't worry," Little Su Ning ran over and held the little chubby boy's hand.

Little Tiancai took out a handkerchief from his pocket, acting like a little gentleman, he gently wiped the tears and snot from the chubby boy's face, "I was fine after falling before, your mom will be fine too."

With the comfort of his two good friends, the chubby boy sniffled hard, nodded, and said, "Okay, then I'll obediently wait for mom to come home."

Su Ci breathed a sigh of relief.

She asked the Ye family's servants to help take care of the children, and she left with Lu Zhe to go to the hospital.

Ye Xi's life value was only left with a few minutes.

In the corridor, Su Ci felt that every minute and every second became very long. She looked at the words "Operation in Progress" and helplessly leaned on Lu Zhe's shoulder, softly saying, "Ye Xi will be fine."

Lu Zhe echoed her, "Yes, she will be fine."

Lu Zhe straightened the girl's waist, then stood up and left.

Su Ci felt a bit lost.

After a while, she saw Lu Zhe return, holding a wet towel in his hand.

His cold large hand held hers.

Lu Zhe gently wiped her hands with the towel.

Su Ci only then realized that her hands were smeared with Ye Xi's blood.

The corridor was very quiet, occasionally some medical staff passed by, their eyes couldn't help but fall on the two sitting on the bench, giving off an indescribable sense of compatibility and brilliance.

Su Ci looked at the young man who was lowering his eyes and carefully wiping her hands, his movements were very gentle, wiping each finger one by one.

The young man's focused expression made her heart flutter.

Su Ci kept looking at the time on her phone, already past Ye Xi's life value time, but the door of the operating room still hadn't opened.

Su Ci's mood was more relaxed than before.

This proved that the doctors were still rescuing, Ye Xi hadn't died.

It was unknown how long it had been, Su Ci felt her legs were numb from sitting, just as she was about to get up and move, she received a golden cotton candy.

Su Ci's eyes lit up, Ye Xi was fine.

At that moment, the door of the operating room was just opened.

The doctor came out and said, "The patient has no life-threatening danger, but she won't wake up so quickly. As for the child in her belly, we've done our best, but it couldn't be saved. The patient's head was hit, after she wakes up, we still need to conduct a detailed examination."

Su Ci quickly thanked the doctor.

When Ye Xi woke up, it was already night.

Su Ci and Lu Zhe had been in the ward all along.

Ye Xi looked at them in confusion.

Su Ci stepped forward, "I'm Su Ci, do you remember me? You've seen me at the Su family before."

"Miss Su, I remember you," Ye Xi's voice was weak, she wanted to get up.

Su Ci quickly stopped her, "You just had surgery, you can't move around yet. Do you remember what happened before you fainted?"

Ye Xi fell silent.

After a long while, she recalled, "When I was going down the stairs, someone pushed me from behind, I rolled down the stairs, and then I lost consciousness."

"Do you know who pushed you?"

Ye Xi hadn't fully recovered, her speech was slow, "I didn't see."

"However, there are surveillance cameras at home." The Ye family's garden was equipped with surveillance cameras to enhance security, but the interior had never been installed.

Ye Xi was determined to help her son lose weight, controlling his food intake. Just two days ago, she had someone install hidden surveillance cameras around the house to monitor whether her son was sneaking snacks or whether her mother-in-law was secretly feeding her son high-calorie foods.

Su Ci nodded, "That's good, Luo Minglu and Luo Xiaomei have already been taken away by the police."

Ye Xi didn't say anything.

Su ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‍Ci hesitated a bit, "The child in your belly, it couldn't be saved."

Ye Xi had already guessed it, her heart felt like it was empty.

When she found out she was pregnant before, the doctor had checked and found that the child's development was abnormal, suggesting she shouldn't keep the child.

She had never mentioned this, hesitating, never expected that she would lose the child in this way.

Ye Xi subconsciously touched her belly, her eyes turned red, her eyes moist with tears.

After the Ye family's butler and servants arrived at the hospital, Su Ci and Lu Zhe left; she went to the Ye family to pick up her two brothers.

On the way home, the car was very quiet.

Little Tiancai asked Su Ci, "Sister, is Shang Jin's mom okay?"

"She's already fine."

Little Tiancai's tense little face finally relaxed.

Little Su Ning spoke up, "Shang Jin's grandma is so scary, she kept scolding people in the house, Ning Ning was scared."

Su Ci stroked his head, "Don't be scared, if she bullies Ning Ning, sister will stand up for you."

Little Su Ning covered his little mouth and laughed, "Ning Ning is a man, Ning Ning can protect sister!"

Su Ci smiled, she raised the partition in front, then said to her two brothers, "You all close your eyes and cover them, don't peek."

Little Su Ning was curious, "Why?"

Little Tiancai asked, "Does brother-in-law also have to close his eyes?"

"Yes, brother-in-law also has to close his eyes," Su Ci urged them, "You all quickly close your eyes, cover them well, whoever peeks isn't a good child."

Little Tiancai obediently did as told, "I'm a good child."

Little Su Ning tightly closed his eyes, his facial features scrunched up, "Ning Ning is also a good child."

Su Ci turned to face Lu Zhe, meeting his dark eyes, she smiled, "Brother-in-law isn't being good, quickly close your eyes."

"Brother-in-law closed his eyes, he has to be as good as Ning Ning," Little Su Ning closed his eyes and said in a childish voice.

Su Ci's eyes curved, "Did you hear that? Ning Ning is more obedient than you."

Little Su Ning, hearing his sister praise him, closed his eyes even tighter, his little chest proudly straightened.

Lu Zhe looked at the girl gloomily, then closed his eyes.

The surroundings were pitch black.

A faint fragrance wafted over, Lu Zhe's thin lips slightly pursed, he subconsciously swallowed.

His lips felt a softness, Lu Zhe wanted to open his eyes, the next moment, his eyes were covered.

Su Ci fed the golden cotton candy, she also wickedly pried open Lu Zhe's lips.

Just as Lu Zhe was about to entwine with her, Su Ci retreated, she gently bit his lip.

Lu Zhe let out a muffled groan.

Su Ci laughed, "Brother-in-law wanted to peek, he isn't a good child, he was punished by sister."

Little Su Ning, with his eyes closed, looked disdainful, why isn't brother-in-law as obedient as Ning Ning.
