Chapter 16: Jiang Qin’s Guilt

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

With that in mind, she knocked harder with her palm.

Bang bang bang.

Soon, the door opened.

Jiang Qin’s hand paused. She was stunned when she saw the young girl with messy hair and bloodshot eyes.

Then, she sighed. It turned out that she wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep last night.

She said earnestly, “Fanfan, you don’t have to feel burdened because of what happened yesterday. That’s between adults. You’re still a child. Study hard first.”

Although her acting major was not promising, it was better than not working hard at all.

Si Fan closed her eyes and hummed lightly.

Jiang Qin smiled lovingly. “Have breakfast first. Hotel service. It’s free.”

“I’ll go wash up first.”

Si Fan said and turned to leave.

Jiang Qin urged her to hurry up and went to set the table.

Five minutes later.

Si Fan sat opposite Jiang Qin on the two-meter-long dining table.

Her posture was straight and upright. Her eating posture was exquisite and elegant, as if she was born a noble.

Jiang Qin was stunned.

For some reason, she felt that her daughter had become a different person overnight.

But no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Si Fan was the same person!

Perhaps it was because leaving the Si Family was too much of a blow to Si Fan, so her emotions changed a little, causing her behavior to be a little strange.

Jiang Qin picked up a chicken drumstick and placed it in Si Fan’s bowl. “Eat more. You’re too skinny.”

Si Fan’s lips moved and she replied coldly, “Yes, thank you.”

The unfamiliar tone made Jiang Qin’s nose sting.

She gripped her chopsticks tightly, her eyes red. “Fanfan, do you… hate me as your mother? Do you think I’m useless?”

All these years, Si Fan had suffered so much in that family, yet she did not help her. Instead, she told her to swallow her frustration and endure it as much as she could.

Although Si Fan did not say anything, she should hate her mother.

Even she hated herself, hated herself for being weak and afraid to resist.

She lived like a poor wretch without dignity.

When Si Fan heard that, a strong sense of resentment welled up in her heart.

She frowned.

This resentment was obviously the resentment that the original host had suppressed in her heart for a long time.

Obviously, the original host blamed her mother for her inaction.

However, this was not Si Fan’s personal grudge.

She had no feelings for Jiang Qin at all.

If she wasn’t the original host’s mother, they wouldn’t be interacting.

Since they were interacting, she would not stand by and do nothing. She would take over the original host’s responsibility without hesitation.

Including the mother of the original host, the sick brother of the original host, and her complicated interpersonal relationships.

Jiang Qin saw that Si Fan was silent and thought that she hated her to the core. She felt even more upset.

She choked. “I’m sorry, Fanfan. I’ve neglected you all these years and didn’t care about your feelings. It’s only right that you hate me…”

Si Fan’s lips moved. “I don’t hate you.”

She had no feelings for Jiang Qin, so why would she hate her?

Besides, everyone had their own difficulties. She wasn’t the real Si Fan, but a bystander. Naturally, she was more rational than the original host.

Did Si Fan really not hate her?

Jiang Qin did not believe it.

She had failed so badly as her mother. How could Fanfan not hate her for failing?

Perhaps Fanfan did not confess to her out of consideration for her feelings as her mother.

At the thought of this, Jiang Qin felt even more guilty towards Si Fan.

She would definitely treat Si Fan well in the future and not neglect her anymore.

After dinner, Si Fan prepared to go to school.

Jiang Qin stopped her. “Do you still have money on you? Do you need me to give you some?”

Si Fan: “There’s no need.”

She hadn’t spent the 500,000 yuan bonus last night yet.

“You really don’t need it?” Jiang Qin glanced at Si Fan’s attire.

She was wearing a white shirt and black pants today. The shirt was wrinkled, and the black pants were a little white from washing. The clothes looked a little old.

Jiang Qin suddenly realized that she had not given Si Fan money to buy new clothes for a long time.

Most of her clothes were discarded by Si Ya and Si Xue.

She had once bought Si Fan new clothes, but after Si Ya found out that she had used Si Mingyuan’s money to buy Si Fan new clothes, she asked the servants to secretly cut the new clothes into pieces.

It happened several times after that.

She couldn’t find any evidence to prove that Si Ya did it, so she let it go.

She did not dare to buy new clothes for Si Fan anymore.

Because, they would be destroyed.

Jiang Qin felt a lump in her throat when she thought of these terrible things. “Mom will transfer you 10,000 yuan. Go buy some nice clothes.”

Si Xue and Si Ya’s clothes cost tens of thousands of yuan each, and the most expensive ones cost hundreds of thousands.

Si Fan was only fit to wear what they didn’t want.

“No need!”

Si Fan rejected her outright.

However, the more she refused, the more Jiang Qin felt guilty towards her.

Since Si Fan was unwilling to accept her money to buy new clothes, she had no choice but to go out and buy them for her.

“Alright, in that case, go to school first. Tell Mom when you need money. Mom will transfer the money to you.”

Si Fan glanced at Jiang Qin and hummed lightly before turning to leave.

Seeing that Si Fan had left, Jiang Qin prepared to visit her son, Si Yi, in the hospital.

Si Yi had a serious heart condition and needed medicine almost every day.

Even if he didn’t need medicine, he had to stay in the hospital for observation every day.

The doctor said that only by finding a healthy and suitable heart and replacing the bad one in Si Yi’s heart could he have a new life.

However, they had already been looking for the heart for nearly ten years, but they had yet to find it.

Would she see Si Yi leave the hospital and lead a normal life like a normal child in her lifetime?

Jiang Qin did not know that the only thing she could do was to keep looking for a suitable heart. As long as there was hope, she would definitely be favored by the heavens. One day, she would get what she wanted.

Women were weak to begin with, but mothers were tough.

Relying on this belief, Jiang Qin convinced herself to stay in the Si Family until today.

Just as Jiang Qin was about to leave the hotel, she received a call from the hospital.

“Madam Si, this month’s treatment your son hasn’t paid for. Please come to the hospital immediately to pay for it.”

Jiang Qin widened her eyes. “How is that possible? Are you mistaken? Didn’t my husband pay yesterday?”

Yesterday, she and Si Mingyuan had already paid for last month’s expenses before they came back from the hospital.

“I’m sorry, Madam Si. Mr. Si has just canceled the treatment fee. If you still want your son to stay in the hospital for treatment, come to the hospital immediately to pay the fee.”

When Jiang Qin heard this, her head buzzed as if she could not believe it.

It was not until the hospital hung up that she came back to her senses.

Si Mingyuan was actually so ruthless. He even took back the treatment fees that he had just paid. This was too much!

Si Yi had called him father for more than 10 years and was half his son. How could he be so cruel to his son?!

After thinking about it, she couldn’t help but call Si Mingyuan.

However, the call did not go through even after a long time.

She had no choice but to go to the hospital to pay the fees first.
