Chapter 583: Save My Son

Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Save My Son

Chu’s father gasped suddenly, his body jolted upwards, and the very next second, like a deflated ball, he crashed heavily onto the bed.

Chu’s mother sobbed in a low voice, but no one could utter a word of blame against Chu Xi.

While wiping her tears, Chu’s mother kept murmuring softly, "It’s retribution, all retribution... it was due, it should be..."

Chu Xi felt a pang in his nose and, pulling Zhou Yiran with him, walked out.

After leaving the hospital room, Zhou Yiran finally came back to her senses and glanced at Chu Xi’s expression, asking softly, "Husband... do you really not plan to have children?"

Chu Xi nodded firmly, without any hesitation, "No, whether it’s a boy or a girl, just being born into a family like ours is unfair in itself. I asked dad to bring my third sister back home, just to protect my elder and second sisters, not to drag them down further, not because I wanted a child."

He said, his voice choking up.

He looked at Zhou Yiran, clearly reluctant to let go, but after struggling for a moment, he turned his head away and said, "Yiran, I know you like children, and if you want to have children... let’s get a divorce."

Zhou Yiran’s eyes reddened as well, she slapped his arm lightly, "Chu Xi, I find you really irresponsible. You didn’t even ask me if I wanted a child of my own, or a child with you, and you just say this!"

Chu Xi was speechless.

Zhou Yiran sniffed, then clasped Chu Xi’s hand, "I like children because I wanted to have a child with you, but it’s not a necessity. We’ve been together for so many years, and never just for the sake of having children. Moreover... actually, without you mentioning it, given the current situation, I neither want nor dare to have children, although it’s not possible... but I’m afraid, our child would follow in the same footsteps."

She looked at Chu Xi and smiled, speaking with determination.

"So, let’s not have children."

Chu Xi looked at Zhou Yiran, holding her hand tightly, bowing his head, his shoulders trembling slightly.

...

Jiangli and Xia Xin finished buying the golden thread sandalwood, and Master Sun, seeing that it would be difficult for them to carry, had his apprentice deliver the wood to them on a tricycle.

Jiangli and Xia Xin both sat on the tricycle.

It was her first time riding on a tricycle, and she examined its structure, which resembled those of ancient horse carriages, also a simple design.

Jiangli understood it at a glance and thus lost the excitement she had first felt when she rode in a car.

However, riding in the tricycle, with the breeze gently blowing, was much more comfortable than walking.

Just as they were about to arrive at Jiaoyang Temple, Xia Xin’s phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Cat Sister.

Yesterday, while everyone was focused on Jiangli gathering the bones, Cat Sister had secretly taken Xia Xin’s contact information, saying it would make communication easier.

Qi Guowen had added his contact information separately as well.

No sooner had the Qi Family’s incident concluded yesterday than Cat Sister was calling today.

Xia Xin, somewhat curious, answered, "Hello, Miss Qi?"

"Is this Master Xia Xin?" Cat Sister’s voice sounded a bit tense.

Xia Xin hadn’t said a word when he heard a clamor in the background from Cat Sister’s side, like a woman crying and a man shouting.

He heard a woman cry shrilly, "Have they answered the call yet? Quick, give me the phone!"

There was some commotion on the other end.

It sounded like a struggle for the phone.

Immediately after, Xia Xin heard a somewhat familiar voice, "Is this the Abbot of Jiaoyang Temple? Please save my son, save my son!"

Upon hearing the voice, Xia Xin thought hard, wasn’t that the voice of Qi Changhong’s mother, Gu Min?
