Chapter 1966: A Foolish Promise
When Qian Yikun arrived at the hospital, everyone was still in the hospital ward, except for Mo Fei.
Mrs. Wen and Mr. Wen were both there. Mrs. Wen was afraid that something happened to her younger sister, so she brought Mr. Wen over.
Mrs. Wen suggested letting Wen Tao handle this matter, but Mrs. Ding refused.
Qian Yikun went in, greeted everyone, and put the fruit basket on the table.
“Yikun, if you are busy, you don’t have to come here.” Seeing Qian Yikun’s police uniform, Mrs. Ding knew that he had come from the police station.
“I’m fine. I came here after work,”Qian Yikun said and looked at Ding Haonan who was lying on the bed. “Is Uncle still unconscious?”
Mrs. Ding nodded slightly. Then, she asked Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen to head back first. Simultaneously, she told Ding Junhui and Ding Junqi, the brothers, to leave first too. There were too many people around there.
After all, Ding Yuejia was still too young to be staying in a hospital for too long.
Ding Junhui chose to stay. Since his cla.s.ses were all held in the day, he could stay by his father’s side at night. He asked his mother to return home for some rest.
Mrs. Ding replied Ding Junhui, “How can I leave at a time like this?”
Therefore, Ding Junhui helped his mother send off his aunt and uncle. Ding Junqi also left with Le Tian and Ding Yuejia in tow.
Eventually, there were only Mrs. Ding, Qian Yikun, and the unconscious Ding Haonan left in the ward.
“You must be thinking that Haonan went too far, right?” Mrs. Ding suddenly asked.
Qian Yikun did not speak. After all, he agreed that his future father-in-law was not a very smart man.
“In this world, the one who dotes on Ding Haonan the most is his father. Therefore, Ding Haonan was very close to his father. He was his father’s only pride. Therefore, before his father died, he only wished that Haonan would take good care of the Ding family.” Mrs. Ding held Ding Haonan’s hand, her heart ached for this man who had been acting so foolishly for the sake of a promise.
Qian Yikun remained silent.
“None of us can claim to understand how important his father’s love was to him when he was belittled by his own biological mother. He couldn’t go against his promise to his father,” Ding Yikun’s mother said as she reached out to caress Ding Haonan’s face, “He’s in more pain than anyone else after causing Mo Fei such grief, but he has no choice.”
Qian Yikun looked at Ding Haonan—this was a man who had a lukewarm presence, even in the business world. He did not pursue wealth and wealth, nor did he expand his business empire. He simply maintained the ability to provide for those bloodsuckers.
“Sometimes, just because it’s a promise, it doesn’t mean it’s good.” In the end, Qian Yikun’s heart still ached for Mo Fei. She yearned for her family for so long, yet her father hurt her.
“Yes, he understands that this is a terrible promise to fulfill, but what can he do? The only thing he can do is remove his sons from the equation and wait for these people to completely suck his blood dry,” Mrs. Ding said with her forehead buried in her husband’s palm. What was more was that her heart ached for him. “Yikun, we’ll leave Feifei in your care.”
Qian Yikun paused for a moment. “Aunty, Feifei is still working hard for everyone, so—”
“Don’t worry, I’m not seeking death. After Haonan wakes up, we’ll leave this place. I hope that if we won’t be able to help Feifei, we won’t cause her any more trouble at least,” Mrs. Ding said softly. “Once Ding Haonan’s mother loses her value, Ding Haobei will quickly chase her out of the house. Meanwhile, I just don’t want to see her in our lives anymore.”
The only way was to keep Ding Haonan in the dark. This way, he would not be caught between a rock and a hard place.
n.o.body in this world possessed pure kindness. Everyone’s hearts were made of flesh, too. When Grandma Ding abandoned her own son, Mrs. Ding knew that this person had nothing to do with them anymore—be it alive or dead!
