Chapter 216: Chapter 216: What Sin Did I Commit?
Jiang Li’s attitude towards Ying Xi was purely compensatory, usually accompanied by a sense of guilt, which made it even harder to involve emotions.
Especially since between Jiang Li and Ying Heng there was a divide of life and death, the affection severed by death was fragile, yet, if said to be resilient, it was incomparably so.
Indeed, because of Ying Heng, Jiang Li’s attitude towards Ying Xi was purely compensatory, so much so that he would fulfill any request without a hint of displeasure. Ying Xi didn’t know about the relationship between Ying Heng and Jiang Li, nor the true cause of Ying Heng’s death, which the Jiang Family had covered up well with money.
When they first met, Ying Xi actually didn’t have much fondness for someone as overtly familiar as Jiang Li, and even found him somewhat annoying.
Yet Ying Xi had never encountered someone so unconditionally temperate. No matter what he said, how weighty, impatient, or unpleasant his words, Jiang Li never got angry. He always smiled, even when harsh words saddened him, he never showed anger.
After all, Ying Xi was not the kind of villain who bullied the weak, so the more he saw Jiang Li like this, the less he could bring himself to be harsh. He rarely spoke harshly, at most displaying a bit of impatience.
Later, even unknowingly, he began to accommodate Jiang Li. And later still, he even shielded him from sulfuric acid.
Something had unconsciously changed its flavor long ago. Even if a bit slow, Ying Xi had started noticing the feelings.
Only Jiang Li remained oblivious, like a clueless fool. Perhaps he wasn’t slow-witted, but rather, it seemed as if, after Ying Heng’s death, his emotional capacity had been extracted.
It wasn’t that no one knew about Second Young Master Jiang’s sexual orientation, nor that there weren’t people expressing their affection towards him.
After all, Jiang Li was young, wealthy, and attractive, with a good personality, and he was openly gay, which honestly reduced a lot of complications, earning him the title of an ideal heartthrob.
For instance, Ji Fulian from the Ji Family was quite fond of Jiang Li.
Yet, it was as if that string had been plucked from Jiang Li, who became rather dense towards other people’s advances.
"Really, if it’s like you said, Ah Li, this lad shouldn’t muddle through blindly and stir up the only brother they have left..." Jiang Su rubbed his temple worriedly, "Our Old Jiang Family has truly sinned against both brothers of the Ying Family."
The two brothers hadn’t wronged anyone; of all the good people in the world, why did they end up with Ah Li?
Upon arriving, Jiang Su headed straight for the hospital, not specifically to see Jiang Li; he already knew Jiang Li was unharmed and well-protected.
Rather, it was Bo Jingshen who was seriously injured. Jiang Su came primarily to visit Bo Jingshen, and then to check on his own son.
Unexpectedly, he learned these things from Bo Jingshen.
Jiang Li had been in contact with Ying Heng’s brother for a while now; Jiang Su had known about this, even that Jiang Li’s whimsical investment in the esports project was largely due to Ying Xi.
Jiang Su was not keen on Jiang Li interacting with Ying Heng’s brother, mainly because he didn’t want Ah Li to remain stuck in the past, unable to move on. However, Jiang Su had never worried about anything developing between Ah Li and Ying Xi; it was inconceivable.
But what Jiang Su hadn’t considered was that Ying Heng’s brother might have had his own thoughts about Ah Li.
"This is really..." The more Jiang Su thought about it, the more his headache grew, "What a disaster."
Jiang Su waved it off, "Enough about him. How are you?"
"Why don’t you check for yourself?" Bo Jingshen glanced in the direction of his own back.
Jiang Su quickly waved his hands, "No, no."
He didn’t dare to look. Just the thought of that scene was terrifying to Jiang Su, let alone seeing it with his own eyes, so after entering the hospital room, he always stood a couple of steps away from Bo Jingshen.
Bo Jingshen took a deep breath and let out a light sigh, "Your Old Jiang Family really owes the Ying brothers a debt. What karma did they have? The elder brother died for Jiang Li, and the younger brother nearly got into a serious accident for him."
Jiang Su heard the underlying meaning in Bo Jingshen’s words, "Pain?"
Bo Jingshen nodded, "Hurts like hell." He paused, then continued, "Ying Xi is in even more pain, and yet Ah Li is still planning to abandon her..."
Jiang Su grew even more helpless, "Did you find out who the attacker is?"
Bo Jingshen’s eyes darkened, "They claimed to be one of my haters, unhappy that I left the esports scene without a word, so they came for revenge. Said they were an extreme fan."
"You don’t believe it?" Jiang Su, catching the mocking tone in Bo Jingshen’s voice, didn’t wait for his reply and asserted, "You don’t believe it."
"An extreme fan who can say my real name but not my gaming ID? I would like to believe it, but my intelligence doesn’t allow it," Bo Jingshen said.
Jiang Su furrowed his brows, "What do you mean? Someone is trying to mess with you?"
"There have been plenty who’ve wanted to mess with me, not just today or yesterday, the issue now is who specifically wants to mess with me this time." There was no emotion in Bo Jingshen’s expression, no fear, no anger, nothing.
This actually surprised Jiang Su somewhat, "You’re not angry?"
Bo Jingshen shook his head, "If it’s just about messing with me, there really isn’t anything to be angry about."
If it were indeed directed solely at him, Bo Jingshen truly had nothing to be angry about, even if he ended up injured like this, there was still nothing to be angry about.
What would truly make him fearful and angry was... if it wasn’t aimed at him.
Elsewhere.
"Nonsense!" Su Zhe was so angry his face had turned dark, "Complete nonsense!"
Su Lu sat in front of him, head hanging down, not daring to make a sound.
Su Zhe turned his gaze to Su Yi and said angrily, "What do you expect me to say about you?"
"Big brother..." Su Yi timidly called.
"Don’t call me!" Su Zhe was furious, Su Lu looked at him and also said, "Brother, don’t be angry..."
"You don’t call me either!" Su Zhe slapped his phone down on the table, "You didn’t even answer my calls!"
"At that time... I was quite busy," Su Lu said.
"Bullshit!" It was rare for Su Zhe to speak so crudely, "You were just afraid I’d forbid you from contacting the Boss!"
Su Lu then fell silent again, head still bowed.
Su Zhe continued, "Am I that ungrateful? Even after everything, he looked out for you, and though we can’t completely let bygones be bygones, there’s no way I’d let you turn your back on him."
"I..." Su Lu thought for a moment, ultimately holding back all excuses and honestly said, "I’m sorry."
"Enough," Su Zhe waved his hand impatiently and gave her pale face a glance, "You look so pale. Rest well today. I heard you’ve been in the hospital these past few days? Rest properly today."
Although Su Lu was still worried and wanted to visit the hospital, Su Zhe had already spoken, and she didn’t dare contradict him, nodding obediently, "You’ve had a long travel too, go and rest in your room."
Su Zhe left her room and just as he reached the elevator, he saw Zhao Ying waiting there.
