When the marriage partner is my mortal enemy, I am scared

Chapter 424 Something Happened to the Xiao Family

I kept thinking about what Xiao Cheng meant by what he said just now.

Chu He wasn't sure if he said it on purpose or if he really thought so in his heart.

My heart felt a little suffocated, as if something was blocking it and something was stabbing into it again and again.

I accidentally caught a glimpse of Xiao Cheng's cold and ruthless side, and I couldn't help but tremble all over.

When Xiao Cheng lay down beside her, she closed her eyes tightly. The man hugged her from behind, and her body tensed unconsciously.

Even though he was kissing her, Chu He forced herself to continue pretending to be asleep. She didn't dare to wake up.

She hasn't decided yet whether to ask or how to deal with it if she does.

Chu He's fingers tightly grasped the corner of the quilt to prevent herself from making any sound.

At this moment, the man's kisses fell densely on every inch of her skin, ears, eyebrows, lips, neck...

Everything Xiao Cheng gave her was so wonderful, so wonderful that even though she knew he was lying to her, she was willing to continue being kept in the dark.

Chu He didn't know when she fell asleep, she just felt that he kissed her intermittently all night long.

At six in the morning, before daybreak, the phone on the bedside table rang.

Xiao Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and his first reaction was to press the mute button.

Seeing that the woman in his arms was sleeping soundly, he let out a sigh of relief.

The call was from Xiao Siman. Xiao Cheng frowned, stood up and walked carefully to the balcony to answer it.

Is she asking me to help her take care of the child again?

Come to think of it, it’s unlikely that I would call him at this time.

When the call was connected, Xiao Siman's voice sounded a little suppressed.

"Acheng, something happened at home!"

Xiao Cheng had his cell phone tucked onto his shoulder. When he heard Xiao Siman's nasal voice, he stopped lighting a cigarette.

"What's the matter, sis?"

"My parents had an accident on the way to Yi County last night. It was raining heavily and the roads were slippery. Their car was rear-ended by two trucks... They died... on the spot..."

Xiao Siman's choked voice came through the receiver. Xiao Cheng felt a sudden buzzing sound in his head and went blank for a few seconds.

His brows knitted together. A sobbing voice came through the phone again, intermittently.

"Originally, my family wanted to keep it a secret from Grandpa, fearing he wouldn't be able to handle the shock if he found out. But Xiao Zian got the news from somewhere and went straight to tell Grandpa. When Grandpa heard what had happened to my parents, he vomited blood and fainted on the spot. He's still being treated."

"My uncle and his family are staying at the hospital now. They've brought bodyguards and lawyers with them. I'm afraid he'll do something bad to the group. Ah Cheng, are you in China? Our family is in chaos right now. Ah Su went to Yi County to deal with my parents' affairs. Someone needs to stabilize the situation on Grandpa's side."

As she spoke later, Xiao Siman's tone gradually calmed down. She had been working in the hospital since she graduated from medical school and had never been involved in family affairs. She was not clear about the interests involved and could not handle it. At this time, she could only place her hopes on Xiao Cheng.

"Don't worry, sister. I'll be there now."

After hanging up the phone, he immediately changed his clothes and kissed Chu He lightly on the forehead before leaving.

On the way, Xiao Cheng called his elder brother Xiao Su, but no one answered the call.

Unable to contact Xiao Su, he called Ji Lin again and asked him to take people to Yi County first.

When he rushed to the hospital, many members of the Xiao family had already gathered outside the operating room.

They all looked worried, and some of them were even crying uncontrollably.

When they heard that the old man was admitted to the hospital, dozens of people came over at once.

Few of these Xiao family members are really worried about the old man's safety.

Instead, they were worried that Xiao Zhengye and his wife would die in a car accident, and the group would fall into the hands of others, who would then wash them out in a major reshuffle.

They were even more worried that if the old man fell ill, the Xiao family would be in chaos and their peaceful days would be over.
