Chapter 1218: Chapter 595: They Can’t Continue Entangling Like This Anymore

Song Xi has always been the kind of person who doesn’t have a very large presence. In her heart, Jiang Yingjie has always been a gentle and refined figure, but seeing him now, looking as if he’s about to devour someone, is a sight she’ll never forget. What’s more, he’s never been this furious before; she almost feels like her arm is being broken by this man.

That’s why seeing Jiang Yingjie like this instills a sense of fear in Song Xi.

She fears that the man in front of her might kill her out of displeasure.

Noticing Song Xi’s silence, Jiang Yingjie also observes the hint of fear on her face, and his heart aches slightly. He can’t help but release her arm and then reaches up to touch her face.

But upon seeing Jiang Yingjie release her arm, Song Xi immediately pushes his other hand aside and breaks free from his embrace, running straight to her room.

Jiang Yingjie didn’t expect Song Xi to react this way; for a moment, he’s unable to react, stunned as he watches the petite woman trapped between his chest and the wall escape and run away. By the time he comes to his senses, Song Xi has already used her room card to open the door and slip into the hotel room. He quickly walks over, but Song Xi has already shut the door in his face.

Jiang Yingjie feels the throbbing in his temples as he reaches the door and lifts his hand to knock, "Song Xi, open the door!"

But there’s no response from inside, let alone any sign of the door opening.

In a surge of anger, he knocks harder, "Song Xi, open the door, don’t make me say it a third time."

Song Xi still doesn’t open the door.

Jiang Yingjie’s face is dark with anger; he was just about to call the front desk when his phone rings, showing a call from the nurse he hired to take care of Tan Shuya.

His heart inexplicably fills with frustration; he was about to hang up, but his hand instinctively swipes over the answer button.

Looking at the phone in his hand, Jiang Yingjie finally decides to put it to his ear. After hearing what the nurse has to say, his face changes dramatically, "I’ll be right over."

After hanging up, Jiang Yingjie glances at the tightly closed door in front of him, his lips pressed together unhappily. He stands there for half a minute before finally walking quickly towards the elevator.

Tan Shuya attempted suicide in the hospital by slashing her wrist with a fruit knife.

Fortunately, it was discovered by a nurse during rounds, and she has been sent to the operating room for treatment. However, due to the excessive blood loss, she is not yet out of danger.

...

Inside the hotel room, Song Xi stands with her back against the door, her heart pounding wildly from the earlier confrontation. She only begins to calm down slightly after running back to her room.

The sound of knocking and Jiang Yingjie’s angry voice came from the door earlier, but now it’s quiet outside. Unsure whether Jiang Yingjie has left, Song Xi locks the deadbolt for extra assurance, then slowly slides down to sit on the floor.

The entanglement between her and Jiang Yingjie can’t continue like this anymore. Jiang Yingjie’s love for Tan Shuya is like a thorn in her heart, making her extremely uncomfortable.

Song Xi isn’t without options, nor does she absolutely need Jiang Yingjie.

This decision instantly appears in her mind, and she immediately calls her assistant.

The assistant is surprised to receive Song Xi’s call and excitedly asks, "Xi Jie, Doctor Jiang came to see you. You must be happy, right? I’ve noticed your mood hasn’t been great today. Did you fight with Doctor Jiang?"

Song Xi rather likes this assistant. Though recently graduated, the assistant has been with her for less than six months and has proven satisfactory in speech, work, and character.

Nevertheless, Song Xi is in low spirits; her face lacking a smile, she calmly tells the assistant, "Don’t answer Jiang Yingjie’s calls anymore, directly blacklist him. Also, let’s change hotels tomorrow morning."

The assistant appears puzzled, "Xi Jie, did something happen between you and Doctor Jiang?"

Song Xi lowers her gaze to her fingers, her tone flat and revealing no emotion, "We’ve broken up."

The assistant is momentarily stunned but quickly recovers, hurriedly saying, "Xi Jie, don’t be sad. There are plenty of good men out there. You’re so outstanding, you’ll definitely find someone better than Doctor Jiang in the future."

Song Xi gives a small smile, "Mm, rest early tonight."

"Okay, Xi Jie, you should also rest early. Just have a good night’s sleep."

After hanging up, Song Xi gazes outside, her face nearly devoid of expression.

...

After this incident, Lu Tianming has fewer objections to Song Qiao. In fact, from any perspective, Song Qiao is still very suitable for the position of Young Mistress of the Lu Family.

Most importantly, his son only loves this one woman.

In the hospital room, Lu Tianming, Lu Jingchen, and Song Qiao are present, while Xu Qian has taken the two children to wash their hands.

Lu Tianming directs his gaze at Song Qiao; his expression lacks a smile, and there’s a hint of awkwardness as he begins to speak, "I’ve never been satisfied with you, mainly because I found you somewhat unsatisfactory at the time. But... I can’t deny that you’ve improved a lot since then. I won’t cause any more trouble for you and Jingchen’s relationship either..."

Standing beside Lu Jingchen, Song Qiao didn’t expect such words from Lu Tianming.

Her face shows a hint of surprise, and she instinctively looks at Lu Jingchen, as if asking, "Is there something wrong with the old man?"

Lu Jingchen feels her gaze and smiles softly, giving her a reassuring look that everything is fine with his father.

Song Qiao remains silent, and Lu Tianming doesn’t press further. The old man coughs awkwardly, then his gaze shifts toward the bathroom, where a more legible emotion appears in his once-clouded eyes. His tone is calm as he adds, "Bring the children home more often for meals, or you can move back to the family home. After all, it’s quite large, and with just me and your mother living there, it feels somewhat lonely. Having the children over could liven things up, and when you go to work, we could help take care of them."
