Chapter 363 - Chapter 363: Protect You For Life
Jiang Xi bit her lower lip until it bled. Yan Hui did not make a sound, but her heart ached.
Jiang Xi suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyelashes touched Zhao Dengqi’s palm. Zhao Dengqi put down his hand and looked at her worriedly. His wife was acting too strangely today.
Jiang Xi turned around and looked at Yan Hui, who was still struggling and trying to hurt herself. Jiang Xi walked over, took her hand, stood on her tiptoes, and pressed her forehead against hers. She closed her eyes and clenched her hands.
The person who had lost control suddenly quieted down.
Yan Hui, who had a twisted expression on her face, was suddenly stunned. Her terrifying face gradually became calm and peaceful. She even closed her eyes slightly, looking like she was enjoying it.
‘Mom, I’ll protect you for the rest of your life with my spirit.’
Yan Hui calmly leaned on Jiang Xi’s shoulder, her face peaceful and beautiful. The middle-aged man took the time to look at Jiang Xi, frowning slightly, but he quickly disappeared. He had heard about the things that Old Master Yan had investigated and had seen Jiang Xi’s photo once. For someone of his status, a photographic memory was a must.
“Light two incense sticks at home to calm her down and let her have a good sleep. Then, she can at least sleep well for a few days.” Jiang Xi’s voice was a little hoarse. She handed Yan Hui to the middle-aged man next to her.
The middle-aged man listened with a gentle expression. “She has nightmares every night and can’t sleep well. It’s been twenty years and she has never had a good night’s sleep. Every night, she would wake up crying. Sometimes, she would slap herself hard, hating herself for not being able to protect her child.”
The middle-aged man’s voice was steady and powerful, but the hidden concern in it was undisguisable.
“If I say she’ll sleep well, then sh’ll sleep well.” After saying that, Jiang Xi looked at Yan Hui again, feeling warm in her heart.
“Yunheng, this is Yan Hui’s goddaughter. Her name is Jiang Xi. Let’s pick a time for her to meet with the family.” Old Master Yan lowered his voice, afraid of waking Yan Hui up.
Lin Yunheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded. With his status, acknowledging a goddaughter would only be troublesome. However, as long as Yan Hui wanted it, he would do his best to satisfy her.
“Yunheng, Huihui is stubborn. I’m already old, so I don’t know how much trouble I’ll have to give you in the future. When Yan Chi was born, Huihui insisted that Yan Chi take on the Yan family’s surname.” Old Master Yan felt a little guilty. Behind his back, many people said that Minister Lin Yunheng had married into the Yan family.
The Lin family had only one son for three generations and had waited for Yan Hui for so many years. Lin Yunheng was now almost forty years old, and only Yan Chi was born. Moreover, Yan
Chi was a child with intellectual impairment. Even Old Master Yan felt ashamed of Lin Yunheng. Lin Yunheng even chased his seventy-year-old mother out of the house last spring Festival, saying that she had embarrassed the Lin family. If someone had not happened to mention it, Old Master Yan would not have known.
Lin Yunheng lost his father in his early years. It was his old mother who raised him. Who knew that things would end up like this… When Yan Hui came back that year, she was not in good health. Although the news did not spread, there were many people who speculated behind her back. The old lady was already dissatisfied with Yan Hui. If the past was exposed…
“Father, Huihui is my wife. If I hadn’t go to the university, she wouldn’t have been deceived by the bad guys. At the end of the day, I didn’t protect her well.” Lin Yunheng hugged Yan Hui tightly, afraid that his wife would be taken away like she was in the past. At first, he even thought that if she was living well, he could let go and give her his blessings, but she…
The Yan family fell silent.
“Why don’t you invite Jiang Xi’s family to the Yan family’s house tomorrow? We’re all free and we can get to know our family.” Yan Rufeng changed the topic.
Only then did Old Master Yan become a little happier. Lin Yunheng also nodded. However, when he thought of his current situation, he hesitated slightly. He did not want to affect everyone’s spirits, so he did not speak.
“Grandma is asleep, but I still want to give her a present.” Dabao thought for a while and took off a small pendant from his neck, which emitted a faint fragrance. This was an amulet he had made for his sister, but for now, he would give it to his grandmother.
“I also want to give grandma a present. This is for her. This is my first handicraft, so it’s worth collecting.” Erbao was a little embarrassed. She did not have anything much..
