As she listened, Leng Xinran picked up her pace again.
After a while, Leng Xinran finally stopped at the door of a room. There were two caretakers standing outside the door. When they saw Leng Xinran coming over, they spoke very respectfully—
“Miss Leng!”
It could be seen that the people here were very familiar with Leng Xinran.
Leng Xinran nodded lightly and walked in.
Inside was a separate room. The room was quite big and the decorations were quite quiet and elegant.
“Mother, how are you?”
Leng Xinran soon saw Mo Shaolan crouching under the curtain and hugging her shivering body.
Lan Xiu also followed Leng Xinran’s figure and saw that Mo Shaolan was a very thin woman. Her face was pale and her eyes were lifeless. When she saw them, she seemed to be afraid of something, and her whole body trembled violently, her eyes were also filled with fear.
When she saw Leng Xinran walking over, Mo Shaolan’s eyes flashed and she suddenly struggled. “Don’t come over! You’re the devil, the devil… It’s you who harmed Xinling, it’s you! It must be you… No, no, of course not. You’re the jinx! You’re the jinx!”
“Mother, how are you?”
Mo Shaolan screamed. Her eyes suddenly widened. Leng Xinran did not have time to react. She only saw a cool breeze brush past her face, followed by a sharp pain in her shoulder!
‘Pa!’
A heavy beating sound was heard.
“Xinran, be careful!”
Lan Xiu’s black pupils shrank as he cried out in alarm.
“Be careful, Miss Leng! She has a stick in her hand!”
Director Li’s panicked voice could be heard, but it was already too late!
Leng Xinran could not help but grunt. She did not care about anything else and quickly reached out to grab Mo Shaolan. “Mother, it’s me! Calm down, calm down!”
“Let go of me… It’s you who killed Xinling… you’re the devil… Don’t come near me… My Xinling is dead… dead… Ran Ran, Xinling is dead, isn’t she… They all said Xinling is dead, how could Xinling be dead? Look at her, she’s still asleep…”
Mo Shaolan was not in her right mind, but she was very strong. The hand she was waving scratched Leng Xinran’s wrist, and the leg of the table in her hand fell on Leng Xinran’s shoulder again.
“Xinran! Be careful!”
Lan Xiu looked at her, and his expression changed slightly. The next moment, he reached out and grabbed her, and the stick landed on the back of Lan Xiu’s hand. Leng Xinran also reached out and pulled Mo Shaolan into her arms without caring about anything else.
“Mother! Don’t be afraid. Xinling isn’t dead. She’s fine. When you’re better, she’ll come back to see you. She’ll bring your favorite peach blossom crisps to see you. Take good care of yourself. Don’t be agitated! Don’t be agitated…”
“Be good. Stop messing around. Xinling likes quiet. Be good and she’ll come to see you…”
Leng Xinran’s tone was very gentle at the moment, as if she was coaxing a child. However, Lan Xiu could always hear some bitterness and sadness in her tone. He ignored the pain in his hand and turned to look at her. Only then did he realize that there was a hint of pain in her cold eyes.
Only after Leng Xinran comforted her did Mo Shaolan finally calm down. Her entire body seemed to have been drained of energy. Leng Xinran hugged her and comforted her for a long time. After she calmed down slightly, she then carried her to the side of the bed and placed her on the bed before covering Mo Shaolan with the blanket. Meanwhile, Mo Shaolan seemed to be a little exhausted. She opened her eyes and looked at Leng Xinran. After a while, she also fell asleep quietly.
“It’s okay. She will appear in your dreams. Don’t be sad. Have a good sleep, it will all be fine when you wake up. Don’t worry.”
Leng Xinran whispered in her ear. She watched her slowly relaxed face. After a long while, she finally lost her breath. She was stunned for a while before she stood up and quietly left the room.
Director Li and the doctor were still waiting outside. Lan Xiu was also trying to understand the situation with them. He had also inquired about Mo Shaolan’s situation.
It turned out that Mo Shaolan had stayed in this sanatorium for quite a few years. At first, her condition was not very serious, but after her youngest daughter, Leng Xinling passed away, she completely collapsed.
When her relationship with Leng Mingyi deteriorated, her condition was already not very good. Later on, one after another, she was defeated. Her nerves became deranged and she often fell ill. Later on, Leng Xinran often came over to comfort her, she had specially hired two nurses to take good care of her. They would chat with her every day and walk around with her. Only then did her condition improve.
But now, it seemed that her condition had worsened again.
No one could recognize her every time she fell ill. Most of the injuries on Leng Xinran’s body were because of her.
“Miss Leng.”
As soon as Leng Xinran came out, Director Li also came forward to greet her.
“No one has been here recently, right?” Leng Xinran asked.
Director Li shook her head. “No, we have protected Madam very well. In fact, she was in a good condition before. She tried to call you several times, but she held back, afraid that she would disturb you.”
“Protect her well. No matter who it is, as long as I don’t agree to it, don’t let them meet my mother. She hasn’t fallen sick recently, which means that she is slowly stabilizing.”
“We know, Miss Leng.”
“She should be fine now. When she wakes up, don’t tell her that I came by. I’ll go back first. Call me if anything happens.”
Leng Xinran rubbed the space between her eyebrows tiredly. She glanced at Lan Xiu and walked forward.
Lan Xiu glanced at Mo Shaolan who was lying on the bed inside. He nodded to Director Li and the others, greeted them, and then followed Leng Xinran.
At this moment, he finally understood why Leng Xinran had been unwilling to talk about her mother. Moreover, she was as cold as ice to Leng Mingyi and extremely against Ye Xiaolian.
“How long has she been like this?”
On the way back, Leng Xinran did not speak. Her expression was very gloomy. It could be seen that she was not in a good mood and had been driving silently.
Lan Xiu thought about it and asked the same question.
Leng Xinran blinked and took a deep breath. Her eyes were still looking ahead. “I can’t remember clearly. It’s been many years. She’s a person who can not withstand pressure. She had deep feelings for Leng Mingyi. Leng Mingyi betrayed her. Naturally, she couldn’t stand it.”
Leng Xinran’s tone was cold and calm. “She’s very similar to Xinling. She’s the kind of person who should be protected since birth. However, Xinling is at least stronger than her, she dared to face death directly.”
“In my eyes, other than life and death separation being the most helpless and painful thing in the world, there is nothing that can make people break down like this. However, she can’t. She is narrow-minded and stubborn. She is very vengeful and thought that finding herself another man would make Leng Mingyi turn back after the divorce. Unfortunately, she has lost too completely.”
