If you were to ask Sheng Qingran what he had been extremely sensitive to in the past few years, it would probably be Feng Qing's voice.
Her voice was very recognizable. Even though he had only met her face - to - face two or three times, he could recognize her voice the moment she opened her mouth.
Even without turning around, he could tell who was behind him. When Feng Qing said her first sentence, Sheng Qingran originally wanted to lose his temper and drive her away. But when she said her second sentence, his back stiffened noticeably, and his hand holding the fishing rod tightened involuntarily.
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome." He didn't even want to see her face. Without turning his head, he started to shoo her away.
"Tsk." Feng Qing clicked her tongue. Her expression seemed rather embarrassed, but her tone disgusted Sheng Qingran greatly. "I really don't want to come. But Sheng Yan said he wanted to propose to me. Since we'll be family soon, I should come and say hello in advance, right?"
Sheng Qingran instantly lost interest in fishing and felt extremely irritated. "Who's family with you? I'll never admit you as my daughter - in - law."
"It doesn't matter." Feng Qing looked at the float on the water, her arms crossed in front of her chest. "I won't call a murderer dad, either."
Sheng Qingran directly threw away the fishing rod in his hand, stood up, and argued with Feng Qing. "What are you talking nonsense about? Is this the upbringing you've received?"
"Upbringing? Chairman, are you talking to me about upbringing? Then I'd like to ask you, when you were in a relationship with my mother, you had an affair with another woman. After getting married, you still harassed my mother. What kind of upbringing is that?" Sheng Qingran felt a chill in his heart, and many images instantly flashed through his mind, but he didn't want to recall them.
Instead, he questioned her. "Who told you all this? Feng Shengyang? If it weren't for him back then, I and... This is not something you should know."
Sheng Qingran didn't finish his sentence. Maybe it was out of guilt. He knew that if he continued, he would only humiliate himself.
Unlike Sheng Qingran, who was evasive, Feng Qing faced all that she knew and dared to say it all in front of Sheng Qingran.
"What? Don't dare to say anymore? Is this something I shouldn't know, or something you dare not tell your two sons? Their mother was just a tool for you to use from beginning to end? Maybe you haven't thought about your wife these years. Why?"
Sheng Qingran didn't say a word, so Feng Qing chose to answer for him.
"Because you were only thinking about other men's wives!"
"Feng Qing! I'm warning you. Don't use these speculations to slander me. I'm not your cowardly father. If you don't want Fengxing to disappear completely, I advise you to be more sensible than your father!"
"Sensible? What does Chairman Sheng mean by being sensible?" Feng Qing clenched her fists. The surging anger made her body tremble uncontrollably. "Because my father wasn't sensible, you wanted to kill him, right?"
"Twenty - six years have passed. You've never forgotten my mother and you've killed my father. Would you dare to let Sheng Sibai and Sheng Yan know about this?"
"You don't dare, because you're the coward. You can only do things that are not on the table!"
"I told you to stop talking!"
Sheng Qingran raised his hand but didn't bring it down. Feng Qing stared directly at him, with no trace of fear in her eyes.
Her look inexplicably reminded him of someone.
"What? Is Chairman Sheng afraid? This slap isn't as decisive as the last time."
Feng Qing had completely lost her mind. Her hatred for Sheng Qingran was no less than his hatred for her. Although she was alone, her words were like thousands of sharp arrows. She just wanted Sheng Qingran to remember those past events he wanted to hide and bury, and to make him always remember how dirty he was.
Sheng Qingran wanted to leave, but Feng Qing blocked his way. He really didn't want to listen to this crazy woman anymore, so he reached out and pushed her to make her get out of the way.
Feng Qing was standing not far from the poolside, especially next to the bucket Sheng Qingran used to hold the fish. When Sheng Qingran pushed her, her feet hit these objects and she began to lose her balance. There was nothing on the shore for her to grab onto. Feng Qing could only watch helplessly as she fell into the pool.
"Feng Qing!"
Sheng Yan had just given some instructions to the servant and was delayed for a while. Before he could reach them, he saw his father push Feng Qing into the pool.
Sheng Yan shouted and rushed to the shore eagerly. Soon, he dived into the water.
Feng Qing couldn't swim. The moment she fell into the water, her foot cramped. She couldn't use any strength to float to the surface. All she could feel was suffocation and her body gradually sinking.
Sheng Sibai, who had also witnessed the incident, ran over and questioned Sheng Qingran, who was standing motionless on the shore.
"Dad, what are you doing?!"
"I just wanted her to get out of the way." He didn't mean to push her into the pool. Who would have thought she was so unlucky that a push sent her in.
"To get her out of the way, you had to push her into the pool? Your way of dealing with problems never changes."
Sheng Sibai implied something, but Sheng Qingran pretended not to understand. He turned around and left, leaving Sheng Sibai alone, anxiously waiting on the shore.
After a long time, Sheng Yan brought Feng Qing up. Feng Qing had already lost consciousness due to drowning. Sheng Yan didn't stop for a moment as he gave her CPR and artificial respiration, but Feng Qing showed no reaction.
Sheng Yan still kept doing CPR. Although Sheng Sibai was anxious, there was nothing he could do. Soon, a pool of blood seeped out from under Feng Qing and mixed with the pool water, gradually deepening in color.
"She's injured! Send her to the hospital quickly!"
During the whole period from Feng Qing's admission to the hospital until she woke up, Sheng Qingran never showed up at the hospital. It was as if everything had nothing to do with him. He was just an unimportant outsider.
Sheng Yan and Sheng Sibai didn't say a single word. Although there were three people in the ward, there was no sound other than their breathing.
Compared with Sheng Sibai's worry, Sheng Yan felt even more heart - broken.
After Feng Qing was sent to the hospital for a check - up and emergency treatment, the doctor told him that Feng Qing was pregnant.
But due to drowning and falling into a coma, the baby couldn't be saved before the mother was brought to the hospital.
That meant from the moment he knew he had a child to the moment he lost it, it was only about ten seconds.
Ten seconds was enough to push a person into hell.
And Sheng Sibai could fully understand the pain of losing a child.
He just never thought that such a thing would happen for the second time.
Sometimes he even wondered what he and Sheng Yan were in Sheng Qingran's eyes. Were they sons, or just tools for him to achieve his grand plans?
They never seemed to feel the slightest bit of love from Sheng Qingran.
His mood was very complicated, and he didn't know how to talk to his younger brother about some things.
Fortunately, Feng Qing woke up soon, and Sheng Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly grabbed Feng Qing's hand. His voice was still trembling. "It's okay, it's okay. It's all over, it's all over."
He kissed Feng Qing on the forehead, and a tear involuntarily fell on Feng Qing's pillow.
He tried hard to control his emotions, but he still choked with sobs.
"We'll have another child."
