Transmigrated as the Chongxi Wife of a Critically Ill Young Lady - Chapter 62

Chapter 62

The first thing Jiang He did after taking over the smart IoT industry again was to cut off all of the Cen family’s financial ties.

In an attempt to save their company, Cen’s parents accumulated a mountain of debt. In the end, they even had to mortgage their house, but they still faced the fate of bankruptcy.

Jiang He seized the opportunity to uncover their tax issues from the past few years and mercilessly reported them to the relevant authorities. The couple was sentenced to seven years in prison. At over 60 years old, it was uncertain whether they would live long enough to be buried after getting out.

Cen Xia had long since severed ties with the Cen family. She was now Jiwanching’s wife, and the affairs of her original parents’ company had nothing to do with her. She was content to just sit back and enjoy watching Jiang He take revenge.

Jiwanching’s recovery was going well. After she was able to speak normally, Dr. Yan began to treat her throat. It was slowly healing. Although she couldn’t sing yet, her everyday speech no longer had any major issues.

However, due to her prolonged use of a wheelchair, her legs were still weak. She could barely stand up, but if no one was holding her, she couldn’t last more than a minute. Walking was out of the question.

Cen Xia accompanied her in physical therapy every day. Jiwanching was also very persistent. Combined with Yan Shuang’s medical skills, they were optimistic that she would be able to stand and walk a few steps in a month at most.

Unbeknownst to them, summer had quietly passed, and autumn was more than halfway over. After Jiang He had taken care of the Cen couple, she temporarily handed her company affairs back to the old man and devoted all her time to finding her Xiaxia.

Cen Xia had already discussed this with Jiwanching, and she had expected her to be a little upset, but to her surprise, she was so understanding that she supported the idea with both hands.

Cen Xia thought this was a sign of her sister’s trust in her.

But in reality, Jiwanching wanted to secretly practice singing and walking while she was away. She wanted to surprise her and present her best self to her. Being together all the time was hindering their progress.

Everything was going smoothly. After interacting with Cen Xia a few times, Jiang He felt more and more that this person was a completely different person from her Xiaxia.

Cen Xia was only a warm sun in front of Jiwanching. To outsiders, she was still the funny girl from the beginning who would always recite, “Oh, seabird, let the storm rage on.” If she had a choice, Jiang He felt that she wouldn’t look for love in such a goofy person.

The two of them were at a rural field behind a school. The grass had shed its summer green and was now a light yellow under the autumn sun. The path was narrow. The original host liked to stroll with her fingers intertwined with Jiang He’s.

Cen Xia did as she described. As soon as she hooked her finger, she blurted out, “Holy shit, Jiang He, your pinky is so thick!”

Jiang He, whose hand was criticized, turned her head and glared at her, gritting her teeth and saying, “Shut up!”

In fact, her fingers were very thin and long for a girl, but Cen Xia always subconsciously compared her to Jiwanching. She mischievously squeezed her hand and said, “It’s not just thick; it’s also not as soft as Jiwanching’s.”

Jiang He was furious. She abruptly shook off Cen Xia’s hand and kicked her.

Cen Xia was kicked into a ditch and yelled, “Ow!”

Jiang He cursed, “You weakling!”

Cen Xia was not convinced. She jumped up and landed steadily on the ground. Before Jiang He could react, she pushed her into the ditch.

Jiang He staggered a few steps in the grass, startling a locust that flew into the air.

Cen Xia saw it and shouted in the direction the locust flew, “Jiang He, a locust! A locust! I haven’t seen one in years. You block it from that side, and I’ll go catch it!”

In an instant, she jumped into the one-meter-high field with her long legs and ran towards where the locust had landed.

Jiang He looked at her running figure and didn’t move.

Cen Xia lunged forward with her hands in the air, but the locust flew over her head in another direction.

The direction was very close to Jiang He. Cen Xia saw it out of the corner of her eye and ran towards her. Seeing that she wasn’t moving, she shouted angrily, “What are you standing there for? Come and help!”

Jiang He scoffed, “What an idiot!”

She reluctantly walked over, took off her coat, and threw it in the right direction. The locust was now safely trapped under the coat.

Cen Xia had already rushed over. Just as she was about to lift the coat, Jiang He stopped her in a cold voice, “You’re so stupid!”

Cen Xia paused and looked at her. “What should I do then?”

Jiang He squatted down and carefully felt for the locust’s wings. She lifted the coat and held the locust in front of Cen Xia.

Cen Xia looked around, ready to grab the locust’s two hind legs.

Jiang He was speechless. “Are you sure its legs won’t fall off that way?”

Cen Xia thought for a moment, looked at Jiang He, and asked uncertainly, “Then how do I catch it?”

Jiang He said, “Didn’t you say you haven’t seen this thing in years? You’ve never caught one before, and you’re asking me?”

Cen Xia giggled shamelessly. “I’ve caught them many times before. A bunch of people would surround it, but we never caught one. General Manager Jiang, you’re so experienced!”

Jiang He pointed to her own head and scoffed, “This has nothing to do with experience. It’s all in here!”

Cen Xia ignored her and said, “Then how do I take it back? I want to show it to Jiwanching. She’s probably never seen this thing before.”

Jiang He: “…”

She took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and calmly looked Cen Xia up and down. Her gaze finally fell on Cen Xia’s sun-protection jacket. She said impatiently, “Take it off and tie a knot at the sleeve opening!”

Cen Xia said, “Ah, are you sure?”

Jiang He rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, “What else? Put it in your underwear?”

Cen Xia: “…”

She thought for a moment and did as she was told, taking off her sun-protection jacket and tying a knot at the sleeve opening.

Jiang He put the locust in from the other side and tied another knot at the other sleeve. The sun-protection jacket was thin and see-through. The locust bounced around inside and could breathe freely.

Cen Xia held the jacket and raised her arm to show it off. “Wanqing will be so happy!”

Jiang He gave a sarcastic smile. A few seconds later, she couldn’t help but ask, “Is Jiwanching so boring that she’d play with these things with you?”

Cen Xia said without thinking, “Yeah! She never played with these things when she was a child. The only memory she has is of her mom kneading dough with her. I want to make up for her lost childhood!”

Jiang He didn’t say anything.

Two seconds later, Cen Xia asked again, “When you two were kids and came here often, didn’t you ever catch locusts?”

Jiang He was a little taken aback by her sudden question. After thinking for a moment, she said, “No. She was too kind. She would never do something like you, tying a locust in a sleeve!”

Cen Xia wasn’t offended at all. She just heard the word “kind” and couldn’t help but smile. “Jiwanching is also very kind.”

She draped the jacket over her shoulder. Jiang He walked beside her on the country road. They both recalled the kind girl in their hearts. When they thought of the little things they had done together, a sweet smile spread across their faces. It was a very sweet moment.

Suddenly, Cen Xia’s mind ached sharply. A piercing pain spread through her. She reached out and pressed her temple.

Jiang He noticed it too. She quickly supported her arm and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Cen Xia said, “My head hurts. I don’t know why, but it suddenly hurts so much.”

Jiang He was stunned for a moment. Then she suddenly realized. Her eyes lit up, and she excitedly called out, “Xiaxia, Xiaxia, it’s Jiangjiang. Are you back?”

People are selfish. At this moment, after such a long time of longing, she couldn’t think about anyone else.

But Cen Xia’s mind was very clear. She was just in so much pain that she couldn’t see clearly. She heard Jiang He call out “Xiaxia” over and over again. The voice was so urgent and full of expectation, trembling.

At this moment, all she could think of was Jiwanching. Her teary eyes, her heartbroken look when she couldn’t find her, her throat that had finally healed was now mute again, and her body that had finally stood up was now bedridden and on the verge of death. Tears rolled down Cen Xia’s face.

She knew very well that one of their pairs would definitely get hurt, but there was nothing she could do to prevent it, even if she died a hundred times…

Zzzzz…

The sound of an electrical current shot through her mind. The long-lost system sound rang out.

[Host… host, the target… Ji… Wanqing, is in… critical… condition. Please, host…]

The system sound abruptly stopped. Cen Xia’s piercing pain became even more obvious. She endured it, took out her phone, and tried hard to focus her eyes. She trembled and swiped several times before she found Yan Shuang’s number and called him.

Yan Shuang was studying a way to restore her leg muscles, so he didn’t hear his phone ring for a while.

Jiwanching was on the bed, her throat being choked by Ji Yanqing. Her weak legs struggled fiercely. The only thing in her mind was her Xiaxia’s smile.

She wanted to live. She wanted to see her again, but she couldn’t break free.

Shanqing saw the bad person about to kill its owner. It anxiously scratched at the door. Its freshly clipped nails bled from the violent scratching, but it didn’t give up. It put its paws on the doorknob and desperately tried to open it.

Jiwanching’s frequent kicking slowed down. Her consciousness gradually weakened, and she was almost out of breath.

Shanqing couldn’t wait for someone to come in. It turned its head to look at its owner on the bed, rushed over, jumped onto the bed with its hind legs, and meowed next to Jiwanching.

When Jiwanching heard the sound, her weakened consciousness and breathing gradually returned. But she didn’t have the strength to struggle. She just glanced at Shanqing out of the corner of her eye.

Ji Yanqing showed no signs of letting go. Her neck was about to be twisted off.

Shanqing looked at its dying owner, steeled itself, let out a howl, pounced on Ji Yanqing, and bit her on the back of her hand with its sharp fangs.

Ji Yanqing cried out in pain and tried to shake it off, but she couldn’t.

Shanqing held on tightly, its fangs piercing through the flesh and into her bone. In too much pain to continue, she let go of Jiwanching and grabbed Shanqing by its neck with her other hand.

Jiwanching took a breath, trying her best to focus her eyes. The next second, she saw Shanqing being violently thrown to the ground. Ji Yanqing slowly walked towards it.

She went crazy and begged with a hoarse voice, “Shao Yu… don’t hurt it…”

Ji Yanqing didn’t stop. She walked over, lifted her foot, and aimed her 12-centimeter heel at it.

Jiwanching screamed, “No…”

She kicked its soft belly. Shanqing let out a cry, its guts spilling out. It was twitching and whimpering.

Jiwanching could no longer cry. She just mouthed its name over and over again.

Ji Yanqing’s face showed a twisted smile. She looked at Jiwanching, then at the cat. She licked her lips and aimed her high heel at the cat curled up in the corner, kicking it crazily again and again…

She didn’t stop until it stopped breathing. She was still repeating the action like a madwoman.

Jiwanching just watched, her body limp. She watched her baby endure the perverted torture to protect her. The gushing blood slowly calmed down and stopped…

For a full five minutes, Ji Yanqing vented for a full five minutes. Only when she realized it was dead did she turn to look at Jiwanching.
