Chapter 353 Blaming Herself...
"I decided to go there secretly so I hid in the back pa.s.senger seat of his car. I was so small so it was easy and because it was night, he didn"t notice that I was there. Once we reached the place where they planned to celebrate his birthday and my brother stepped out of the car, the person came out of the blue with a baseball bat and was about to hit my brother, but he sensed it and dodged it just like u did last night."
Jiang Yang didn"t disturb her and continued listening but it looked like he was thinking about something serious having cold expressions on his face. It was rare to see Jiang Yang with cold expressions.
Nix.x.xie continued, "As my brother dodged it, the bat hit the window screen and broke it. The sound startled me and I screamed. Seeing me there, my brother was shocked. I screamed so he forgot about that man, he stepped towards me to check if I was okay but even before he could come to me, that man hit my brother on the head. He was in pain but still wanted to come to me." br>"I was scared and called my brother stepping out of the car but before I could reach him, the man threw my brother on the road where one car hit him. All of this happened so sudden in the blink of an eys that no one could stop it."
"I cursed myself for not being quick and being a kid. only if....." her voice chocked and Jiang Yang hugged while patting her back. She continued, "Only If I was not scared, only if I was not a kid, only if I was not there, my brother would have been alive as instead of coming to me, he had dealt with that man. I was the one to make him die."
Jiang Yang didn"t say anything as no word was right to console her. She was feeling guilty for the things that were not in her hands and as a kid it was obvious for her to feel scared. Seeing her own brother dying in front of her eyes was the worst thing could happen and blaming herself was obvious too. He let her cry while burying her face in his chest.
Once she was calm, she moved her head back and spoke, "At that moment, Brother Lu Feng arrived and when he went to my brother, he took his last breath in his hands. Later we found out that the man was sent by my father"s mistress to harm my brother but that accident was planned by her son, my step-brother and we couldn"t do anything about it."
"What about that man who hit your brother and a person who ran the car over him?" Jiang Yang asked.
"The man who hit my brother said, he did it because of some personal issues with my brother so he got a small punishment for just hitting and the car driver said, it was not his fault as my brother suddenly came in front of his car so he too got just a small punishment. More than those two men me and my mother wanted the real culprits to get punished but we couldn"t do anything."
Saying it, she started to cry and said, "My mother was helpless. I was a kid and my father too didn"t help us as he thought his mistress and his son couldn"t do it."
Wiping her tears, Jiang Yang said, "This time you don"t have to worry as you are not alone."
She looked at him to know what he meant. "I and there are other people to protect you now."
"Other?" she asked
"Hmm! So don"t worry." He a.s.sured her.
"But I think that man wanted to harm you just what happened with my brother."
"They can"t as it"s not that easy. So relax and let me take you home," saying it, Jiang Yang stood up and asked her to go with him.
Once they reached, Xi residence, Nix.x.xie said, "Thank you so much" and opened the door of the car to step out of it.
Jiang Yang stepped out too so she asked, "Why you came out? I can go from here."
"I thought you will ask me to come inside." Saying it Jiang Yang stepped towards her.
She was caught off guard. She wanted to invite him but she knew at this hour, her step-brother must be home and she didn"t want him to meet Jiang Yang as she was worried because of that evil man in her home.
Jiang Yang knew this but he had his own plans and wanted to go with her inside. "I promised your mother that I will send you home personally so I have to fulfill it. Let"s go," saying it he stepped forward to go inside the mansion without giving her a chance to stop him. Nix.x.xie followed him in a hurry and all the while she was worried about what her step-brother will say.
Just as they entered the door of the mansion, Xi Cheng was there in the living room discussing something with his a.s.sistant. Seeing Jiang Yang there, he stood up from the sofa to go to Jiang Yang and said with a smile on his face, "Welcome, doctor Jiang Yang. I didn"t expect you to come to our home."
Memories from that day when Lu Qiang hit him were still fresh in Xi Cheng and Jiang Yang"s mind but both behaved normally in front of Nix.x.xie as if nothing happened.
Jiang Yang too smiled and said, "how can I not when I had a responsibility to send one pretty lady safely back to her home."
"Hmm! Right. Have a seat." Xi Cheng said.
"No! He is in a hurry to go to the hospital. He can come next time." Nix.x.xie said being scared in her heart. She didn"t want Jiang Yang to be in a sight of Xi Cheng.
