PDLP Chapter 261 Retribution
Chapter 261 Retribution
Zhang Xianghong was arrested. That same night, a phone call was made to Kyoto, and then Zhang Xianghong's father and brother were secretly taken away for investigation.
Li Minghui's identity was extraordinary; if it weren't for health reasons, she might not have retired so early.
In short, this matter has blown up.
Communication methods were not as advanced then. Less than twelve hours after Zhang Xianghong's father and brother were arrested, several more members of the Zhang family were arrested. Zhang Xianghong's grandparents finally couldn't sit still and started asking around for Li Minghui's contact information.
Zhang Xianghong's father always called Li Minghui "aunt," but for more than ten years, he had been living in Li Minghui's house. Later, Li Minghui's husband felt that this child was quite filial, so he found a way to bring his parents over as well.
Over the past ten years, members of the Zhang family have gradually come to Kyoto. Some, though they didn't come, have all found formal jobs there.
It can be said that when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
But no one expected that Zhang Xianghong would fail this time.
And all these people and events suddenly came together.
Ye Nuan didn't want to treat Li Minghui anymore; that was the truth.
Because she felt that there was no trust or cooperation between doctors and patients, treatment was just a waste of time and medicine.
But she said that on purpose to provoke Li Minghui.
She simply couldn't believe that a nephew or grandniece with no blood relation could be so important compared to her own healthy body.
As expected, Ye Nuan made the right bet.
After reading the test report, Li Minghui knew that someone must have tampered with her diet or medication.
The nanny was assigned to her by her superiors and has been taking care of her for over ten years. She comes from a respectable family and there won't be any problems.
Therefore, the prime suspect is naturally Zhang Xianghong.
At first, Li Minghui was reluctant to believe that Zhang Xianghong wanted to harm her, but after carefully considering the pros and cons, she understood.
By keeping Zhang Xianghong by his side, he could access his network of contacts and frequently make appearances. By deliberately saying ambiguous things, he could easily give others the illusion that he was highly valued.
This illusion could very well bring her great benefits.
For example, a casual remark could inspire people to give her gifts or even regard her as a great benefactor.
But who could have known that Zhang Xianghong was just using this opportunity to her advantage?
Li Minghui felt even worse when she thought about what her biological daughter, Dong Jia, had said when she came over that day.
Dong Jia was her child with her first husband, and also the child of a martyr. After that, she was unable to have any more children because of her injuries.
After Li Minghui married Lao Zhang, she always treated Lao Zhang's son as her own son, so she may have neglected Dong Jia.
Who would have thought that Dong Jia moved to Zhejiang Province a few years after getting married, and never returned to Kyoto?
Li Minghui thought that she had never given Dong Jia enough help, even when she was young. She might have neglected her because she was taking care of her stepson. Therefore, it was understandable that Dong Jia hated her.
She is not a good mother.
But she never expected that the Zhang family members she treated with all her heart would dare to drug her!
This is just like Mr. Dongguo and the wolf!
Li Minghui felt a mix of emotions, but mostly regret and disheartened feelings.
She's already this age, so even if she recovers well, what difference does it make?
She can no longer return to her job, and she needs a nurse to take care of her, isn't that enough?
Why is Zhang Xianghong so afraid that she will get better?
For several days, Li Minghui was in low spirits until the arrival of Dong Jia and Feng Xiuying brought a glimmer of light to her eyes.
"You are here!"
Dong Jia said coldly, "At your age, why are you acting like a child, thinking about a hunger strike? Do you really think your body can hold up for decades?"
Li Minghui didn't speak, but there was an emotion welling up in her eyes.
She could tell that although her daughter was a bit fierce, she was actually thinking of her.
Feng Xiuying remained silent. After entering the room, she sat in the corner of a sofa, pretending that she didn't exist.
Of course, she didn't call out "Grandma" even once.
Li Minghui's lips trembled slightly: "Shall we have lunch here? I remember you like chicken, I'll have the housekeeper make it for you."
Dong Jia's eyelids twitched slightly: "No need, I don't like eating it anymore."
Li Minghui's eyes changed instantly; her original expectation turned into a sense of desolation.
"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you all those years."
Dong Jia pursed her lips tightly, then turned her head to one side, as if she were clenching her teeth to keep her tears from falling.
Li Minghui stopped making so many small gestures; her eyes reddened, and she cried when she felt like it.
"I was blind to agree to let Lao Zhang bring his nephew over. Over the years, I've grown up with them."
Dong Jia took a breath, her nose tingling with emotion.
Li Minghui blinked a few times, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Jiajia, it's understandable that you resent me. I don't ask for your forgiveness; what's done is done. I know you're doing well now, and I hope you two will continue to do well in the future."
Dong Jia couldn't hold back anymore, lowered her head, covered her face with her hands, and started to sob.
No matter how much you resent her, she's still your own mother!
Seeing this scene, Feng Xiuying was at a loss for what to do.
She didn't know whether she should comfort her mother first or cry along with her. In the end, she simply got up and stood in the yard.
She had no memory of this grandmother. She seemed to have lived in Kyoto when she was a child, but she was too young to remember.
So whether Li Minghui was her maternal grandmother or not, it didn't matter to Feng Xiuying.
She doesn't care, and there's no way there could be any grandparent-grandchild relationship between them.
But she couldn't ignore her mother's feelings.
So, she decided to just hide away.
After standing in the yard for a while, I heard some noises coming from the neighboring yard, so I decided to go find Ye Nuan.
Ye Nuan had worked the night shift last night, so she only came back this morning. When she saw Feng Xiuying here, she roughly knew what was going on.
"Auntie, are you okay?"
"It's nothing, the mother and daughter are just crying together."
Ye Nuan twitched her lips. How was she supposed to respond to that?
“I’m fine. I have no relationship with her. I don’t care whether I have this grandmother or not. I just feel sorry for my mother. When she was at the height of her career, she was always thinking about other people’s children. Now that she’s old and someone wants to harm her, she’s only remembered that she has a biological daughter.”
As Feng Xiuying said this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
So what if you hold a high position and wield great power?
You were blind to your own faults and were betrayed. This is the retribution for abandoning your own daughter!
