Chapter 1315: Even If It Means Losing Everything for You

Xu Xing stood off to the side without saying a word, yet he was just as anxious inside. What bullshit.

Without the medicine, Su Li’s eyes wouldn’t get better at all. Counting on all those big hospitals to fix them was just dreaming. As for how her eyes ended up like this, Su Li herself knew best.

This wasn’t something ordinary—how could a hospital possibly cure it?

Su Li sat on the soft sofa, her eyes blankly fixed forward. Her beautifully flushed pink lips pressed together lightly as she forced back the urge to cry.

Sometimes things really don’t go the way you want.

Just when she thought everything was going to end in a happy-ever-after, something unexpected had to happen.

Right now Su Li’s heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.

Feng Huaijin no longer had the mood to bother with Xu Xing. He sat down beside the sofa, and the cushions instantly sank with a dent. Sitting next to Su Li, he stretched out his long arm and gently drew her into his embrace, his magnetic voice softly comforting her: "Su Li, don’t worry, I won’t let you go blind. It’s just one dose of medicine; if it’s gone, I’ll find another."

"Our family has money. When the time comes, we’ll just buy it back."

Feng Huaijin’s warm voice flowed past her ear like a trickling stream, yet the more Su Li listened, the sadder she felt.

She clutched tightly at the hem of Feng Huaijin’s clothes, sobbing softly as she said, "Actually, actually I’m not afraid of going blind."

"I...I’m afraid I’ll never see you again, never see that unborn baby and... and Tuanzi."

This world was still very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful the world was, it couldn’t compare to Feng Huaijin and them in her heart.

Her adoptive parents didn’t want her anymore, and her biological parents had a beloved adopted son. All she wanted was Feng Huaijin and the child.

Feng Huaijin held Su Li tightly, his palm lightly patting her back.

Xu Xing swallowed and said, "How about... I go ask Uncle Sheng about it?"

If it wasn’t the mountain rats, then it was very likely this Uncle Sheng of Sheng Lanqing’s. Uncle Sheng had long disliked this son-in-law Feng Huaijin; who knew if he would seize this chance to make trouble?

Holding Su Li, watching her bury her head into his arms, Feng Huaijin said coldly, "No need."

"No need?"

Feng Huaijin said mildly, "If it’s Aunt Sheng, she won’t be able to sit still."

If he didn’t take the initiative to show up, Sheng Lanqing, as Su Li’s biological mother, probably wouldn’t be able to sit still either and would come deliver it herself.

If it wasn’t in Sheng Lanqing’s hands, going there would be useless anyway. It would only make these biological parents of hers anxious, and if word got out, it would cause an uproar across the whole city.

The fewer people who knew about Su Li’s potential blindness, the better.

For the moment, Xu Xing had no ideas; he could only stare at Feng Huaijin.

Xu Xing glanced at Su Li in his arms, then fixed his gaze on Feng Huaijin and asked hoarsely, "If it has nothing to do with Uncle Sheng, and it really... really was the mountain rats?"

What if it really was that damned gang of mountain rats who’d stolen the medicinal herb and eaten it?

Feng Huaijin felt the girl in his arms tremble slightly. He tightened his hold on Su Li, and that magnetic voice of his rang in each of their ears with piercing force, deafening and resounding:

"Then I’ll go buy new medicinal herbs."

"Even if it ruins the family and drains every last cent."

Su Li’s nose burned with soreness, and then she heard that magnetic, authoritative voice of Feng Huaijin suddenly carry a faint trace of laughter: "But President Su is so rich, even if you ate for several lifetimes you still couldn’t manage to lose everything."

Su Li couldn’t help but let her lips curl slightly.

Feng Huaijin looked at Xu Xing. "I’ll immediately arrange for people to head to the east of Hua Country to ask whether any collectors have this herb in their collections. Also—"

A cold light flickered in Feng Huaijin’s eyes. "Investigate this Cloud Mist Mountain matter."

Was it really the mountain rats? Just such a coincidence?
