Probably only the leg was injured. Xiao Bocong’s operation ended very quickly, and it was over in less than two hours. During the period, the doctor came out to ask Mrs. Xiao's opinion on whether Xiao Bacong was amputated, but did not get any answer—because she was covering her mouth and was dizzy. Past.

Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu stayed in the ward until Yang Jie told them that Xiao Baicong's operation was over, and they passed. At this time, Mrs. Xiao was also awake.

She sat on a chair in the ward in a daze, and the butler stayed quietly aside. The atmosphere was very calm.

"lady."

Seeing Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu coming over, the butler whispered slightly, causing the dazed Madam Xiao to raise her head.

She saw Xiao Yuanmu, who was standing with Song Xuanhe not far away, suddenly covered her mouth, got up and walked quickly to them, hugged Xiao Yuanmu and wept bitterly.

After crying for a long time, she choked out, "Your brother...what can he do?"

"He is still so young, he has just grown up, it is the best time to move, so he has no legs, what can he do?" Mrs. Xiao clutched Xiao Yuanmu's arms tightly, her eyes were red, and there was no more The usual grace and indifferent in front of people, unabashedly revealed the fragility of a mother: "Cong Cong is so young, why are the kidnappers so cruel?"

Xiao Yuanmu looked down at the woman whose makeup was still exquisite in front of her, but the woman who had no appearance at all had a light expression in her eyes, without the slightest ripple.

"Aren't you sad?" Madam Xiao shook her head, frowned and looked at Xiao Yuanmu, and asked him: "Your brother has become like this? Why are you not sad?"

Song Xuan and frowning, raised their hands to block Madam Xiao, but she looked thin and weak, but actually grasped Xiao Yuanmu's hand with great strength, she held him tightly, and then questioned him.

"Why are you not sad?"

Xiao Yuanmu didn't seem to feel the pain, and his tone was extremely weak: "It is very rare for him to save his life."

"Do you hope your brother can't even keep his life?" Madam Xiao asked with her eyes wide open: "So the Xiao family is completely yours, do you think so in your heart?"

"lady!"

Before Song Xuan could speak, the butler had already interrupted her first.

"I apologize to you for my wife, eldest master." The butler bowed and said, "The young master is not well, and the wife's mood is not stable. Moreover, the husband does not know the situation here, so the wife is more stressed. Hope You can understand her."

Xiao Yuanmu's expression remained unchanged, and he faintly nodded: "Take care of Madam."

The butler nodded respectfully without any emotion, and helped Madam Xiao to take a step back.

In the cold but clear words of the housekeeper, Mrs. Xiao also reacted. She raised her eyes a little hastily to Xiao Yuanmu, opened her mouth to explain but didn’t know where to start, her mouth opened and closed, repeating a few times. After the second, the shrugged shoulders suddenly collapsed, and his voice was crying: "Yuan Mu, you forgive mom, mom... just too sad."

Song Xuanhe dragged Xiao Yuanmu behind him, and said without a smile: "Mrs. Xiao, I am sorry that your little son has encountered such misfortune, but what you said to my lover made me very unhappy, I I can understand that you are too emotional, but you cannot understand that you questioned your elder son because your younger son was injured, and even said such chilling words."

"I..." Madam Xiao's mouth moved. Her eyes looked at Xiao Yuanmu, with guilt and pleading in her eyes: "Yuanmu..."

"Mrs. Xiao." Song Xuanhe interrupted her: "I know this is very rude to you, but I don't want you to continue talking with Xiao Yuanmu now. Whether you mind or not, I will now take him to the ward. , Because his leg has just been stitched and still needs training. Of course, if you remember this, I believe you will not mind."

Song Xuanhe helped Xiao Yuanmu's arm and turned around and walked away. After two steps, he stopped and turned his head and said, "Do you remember what I said to you?"

Madam Xiao stared at Xiao Yuanmu's back in a daze. At this moment, she was pulled back to her senses by Song Xuanhe's voice, and then blinked in a daze.

Song Xuan and his eyes were very cold. Without looking at Madam Xiao again, he helped Xiao Yuanmu to leave here.

Back in the ward, Xiao Yuanmu held Song Xuanhe's hand.

"I don't want to live in the hospital, can't I go back to recuperate?"

"No." Song Xuanhe withdrew his hand and said, "It's already late now. I will go back tomorrow morning. I will sleep here for one night today."

"I don't like hospitals." Xiao Yuanmu glanced at the bed he was sitting on, with a clear voice: "And this bed is too small."

Song Xuanhe sat on the other bed, put on his clothes and lay down, saying, "You will just sleep for one night, and you can go back tomorrow."

Xiao Yuanmu stared closely at Song Xuanhe's profile, and then said his request: "I want to sleep with you."

"No." Song Xuanhe glanced at him, and saw that his face was a little pale and his dark eyes still had a hint of discomfort. He couldn't help but feel softened. He twisted his eyebrows and explained: "Your bed is too small, we two Sleeping together will touch your wound."

"Then let's go back to sleep." Xiao Yuanmu said, "I don't find it troublesome."

"No." Song Xuanhe frowned and rejected him again.

Xiao Yuanmu's mouth was tight, his jaw was strained, and the door was knocked just as he was about to speak.

Yang Jie's voice sounded: "Brother Xiao, Young Master Song, you might have to get up."

Song Xuanhe lifted the quilt and got up, opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Xiao Baizong is awake." Yang Jie's expression was a bit complicated. He said: "He knows that his leg has been amputated, and he can't accept it now. The doctor can't give him a tranquilizer, and... he said his leg is Brother Xiao Crushed."

Song Xuan jumped with his forehead, and Yang Jie continued: "Mrs. Xiao let Brother Xiao pass."

"You tell her." Song Xuanhe's face was cold: "Xiao Yuanmu is injured and needs rest. I will talk about anything tomorrow."

"I'm afraid not." Yang Jie frowned, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Xiao may not be in much better mood than Xiao Baicong now, and if this matter really spreads to Mr. Xiao's ears, it may be very bad for Brother Xiao. Now... …"

"Now Xiao Yuanmu needs to rest." Song Xuanhe clutched the door, his face colder than the lights of the hospital: "You tell her directly that Xiao Yuanmu is asleep."

"How could he fall asleep!"

Madam Xiao sounded from the other end of the corridor with a sharp voice, her high heels stepped on the ground, and the crisp voice accompanied her footsteps a little bit larger, and also made the haggard and angry look on her face clearer.

"Mr. Song, I think this is our housework. As Xiao Yuanmu's mother, I want to ask him a few words. I hope you can avoid it."

This is the first time Madam Xiao has shown an almost oppressive look towards outsiders. It loses the elegance and softness of the former noble lady, but it has more courage to divide into motherhood.

It's just this dash of courage, which seemed ridiculous to Song Xuanhe.

"mother."

Xiao Yuanmu didn't know when he appeared behind Song Xuanhe. He opened Song Xuanhe's empty door with one hand, put one hand on Song Xuanhe's arm, and said calmly: "You can come in, he can know me. There is no need to leave for anything."

Madam Xiao glanced at her elder son, who was not looking good, and the anger in her eyes faded a little. She nodded and walked into the ward as Xiao Yuanmu turned her body sideways.

"Your brother said his injury was caused by you." Madam Xiao opened the door and said, "I want to know if it is true."

Xiao Yuanmu's eyes drooped and his tone was calm: "What did he say?"

"He said you had ran out at the time and there was no one behind, but when you got into the car, you suddenly pushed him out of the car, causing him to be run over by the motorcycle that suddenly rushed out from behind, and then he I slammed the door so I didn't get thrown by you."

Xiao Yuanmu raised his eyes, with no emotions in his eyes, and asked Mrs. Xiao calmly, "Do you believe it?"

Madam Xiao was startled. When the youngest son was crying and telling her what had happened, when he sobbed and looked at his legs with beautiful but hollow eyes, she naturally believed it, otherwise she wouldn't be so angry that Yang Jie immediately Calling Xiao Yuanmu, he would not go straight up to find him without waiting for Xiao Yuanmu.

But now seeing the look of the eldest son, she was not so sure.

Mrs. Xiao didn't answer, Xiao Yuanmu's expression remained unchanged, calm and calm, not even the slightest sadness that was questioned by his mother.

"What's the matter with Cong Cong's legs?"

After about ten seconds, Mrs. Xiao spoke again. She looked at Xiao Yuanmu's calm face, as if she wanted to find the answer from his invisible eyes.

Xiao Yuanmu's eyes were deep, thinking of the scenes from his previous life, and he said lightly: "When I went there, there were not only those who kidnapped Xiao Baizong, but also another wave of people. They had a struggle and Xiao Baizong was tied to one side. , Few people paid attention to him."

"I went in and rescued Xiao Bacong and wanted to take him away, but when I was leaving, I was still found. But because there were two groups of people inside, the person who kidnapped him couldn't come after us, so we ran. Came out."

"Xiao Baizong said he knew a small road, and it was more difficult for those people over there to catch us, so I followed him down the path. I didn't expect that there was an ambush in there. I was arrested and my leg was injured at that time."

Song Xuanhe raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yuanmu. For a moment he couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false, but he didn't know why, but an extremely uncomfortable emotion was pouring out of his heart. This uncomfortable feeling was not for himself, but for With Xiao Yuanmu beside him, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Yuanmu's, clasping his fingers.

Xiao Yuanmu looked down at Song Xuan and the hand that was holding him, the shadows under his eyes disappeared, revealing a little warmth, but when he raised his eyes, the warmth turned into nothingness, leaving only a cold calm.

"Those people are Xiao Baizong's people." Xiao Yuanmu looked at Mrs. Xiao with a clear voice and no personal emotions: "The kidnapping was planned by Xiao Baizong himself."

Madam Xiao paused for two seconds, then retorted: "Impossible!"

Xiao Yuanmu didn't say anything, but just looked at her quietly, and made her want to argue for Xiao Bozong. The words that made her want to argue for Xiao Bozong just rushed to her mouth and swallowed a little bit. She could only whisper: "Cong Cong has been a kindhearted since childhood Considerate child, he can't do this. There must be some misunderstanding in this, Yuanmu, you should know that now that you are in charge of the Xiao family, he has no need to do this."

"He has."

There was a hint of coldness in Xiao Yuan's Mu Qingyan voice: "You should also be very clear. It is precisely because I took over the Xiao family that he has more reason to do so."

Madam Xiao opened her mouth, speechless.

Xiao Yuanmu glanced at him, then averted his gaze, and continued: "But he did not expect that his people are not as loyal as he imagined. His people are mixed with another wave of people, the leaders of those people. The one is one of Xiao Baizong's enemies, and that person sent him and me to that person."

"Xiao Baizong said, I am now the head of the Xiao family, and I can get more benefits in exchange for me. As long as he is let go, he will not say anything."

Mrs. Xiao's face trembled, and Xiao Yuanmu continued: "It's just that the person seemed to be having a feast with him, so they broke his leg and let us go."

"Why did he let you go?" Madam Xiao asked.

"Because that person knows Horsman." Xiao Yuanmu said lightly: "I have some friendship with Horsman."

Mrs. Xiao still didn't quite believe this result. She said: "He knows that you are from the Xiao family, and he also knows that you are the head of the Xiao family. He let you go, isn't it..."

"He is not worried about this." Xiao Yuanmu looked at Mrs. Xiao and said, "Mother, he knows exactly who hurt my leg."

Madam Xiao was taken aback for a moment, she couldn't speak.

She knew what Xiao Yuanmu meant.

Xiao Yuanmu’s leg was injured by Xiao Baicong’s people, but the group of people did not offend Xiao Yuanmu, and even saved Xiao Yuanmu’s life. If they really killed the two heirs of the Xiao family, they would definitely have to Desperate End of the World, but at this time let Xiao Yuanmu, who had already started to manage the Xiao family, a good relationship with Xiao Yuanmu.

After all, those people knew that Xiao Bocong could no longer inherit the Xiao family.

"If all you have to ask is this, I have already said it."

Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Yuanmu's indifferent expression from the beginning to the end, and listening to his deportation order, all of the fright, panic, and fear that she had experienced over the past day suddenly surged up again, making her tired and very sad.

Why is Xiao Yuanmu so indifferent to her?

From the moment he was found back, she had done everything she could do to compensate him and bring them close. Even the Xiao family had given him it, but he still treated her. Indifferent is no different from a stranger. She tried to take countless steps towards him, but he was always reluctant to take one step.

In this situation, she prefers her to see what's wrong with seeing the young son who grew up in a young boy?In terms of time and emotions, she and her younger son are already closer.

This is just human nature.

The youngest son she has been holding in her palm now has her entire life ruined. His legs can no longer walk like normal people. His athletic ability that he has always been proud of may no longer be able to display. He may even fail from then on. This possibility was so distressed that she couldn't breathe thinking of the gloomy and gloomy appearance of her lively and cheerful young son.

Did she do something wrong?

Even if she came to ask Xiao Bocong about Xiao Yuanmu's attitude when she was wrong, but Xiao Baicong was her son. Seeing her child become like that, which mother can calmly think about everything before asking?

What she did was just what an ordinary mother would do.

Moreover, if Xiao Yuanmu did not come back, then none of this would happen.

Madam Xiao’s eyes were flushed, she looked at Xiao Yuanmu’s indifferent expression, and asked him: "Since you came back, you have never regarded me as your mother, your father truly as your father, let alone you. Your younger brother as your own brother?"

Xiao Yuanmu's slender eyelashes were half drooping and half of his eyes were covered. A few seconds later, he lifted up and faced Madam Xiao's direction, like a sharp sword, out of its sheath with cold light.

He said: "Yes."

Mrs. Xiao shook her head: "I don't believe that if you really treat us as family members, none of this can happen, and nothing will happen now."

Song Xuanhe's fingers clasped with Xiao Yuanmu's fingers increased, the corners of his mouth were tight, but he didn't speak.

Xiao Yuanmu Yuguang caught a glimpse of his look, and shook him back calmly, and said lightly: "I want to rest."

Madam Xiao got up and coldly glanced at the interlocking hands of Xiao Yuanmu and Song Xuan and ten fingers, and said: "I have doubted many times whether you have no feelings or just have no feelings for us. The scene when you haven't left us, I wonder if you would laugh at that time, would you stick to me and call my mother, would you look forward to my father coming home every day."

"I didn't think of it, but I know that you are not without feelings, just for me and your father." Madam Xiao asked Xiao Yuanmu: "Do you hate me and your father for not finding you in advance?"

"No."

"Sometimes I really hope..." Madam Xiao took a step back, looking at Xiao Yuanmu's calm expression, and said in a dumb voice: "Sometimes I really hope that if I didn't find you back, it would be great."

After speaking, Madam Xiao turned and left without looking back.

The door of the ward opened and closed, leaving a silence.

Song Xuanhe held Xiao Yuanmu's hand and raised his eyes to see his expression.

Xiao Yuanmu's other hand covered his eyes, and his chin rested on his shoulder, and his clear voice revealed a slight dumbness: "Don't look."

Song Xuanhe tightened the hands that clasped his fingers, nodded lightly, and held his waist with the other hand, allowing him to wrap around him.

"What I just said was the truth." Xiao Yuanmu said.

Hot air hit Song Xuanhe's neck. He moved and said softly, "I know."

"You do not know."

Xiao Yuanmu chuckled lightly. There seemed to be many things mixed in this laugh, and it seemed to be a simple self-deprecating laugh.

"Then can you tell me?" Song Xuanhe asked.

"Wait for a suitable time." Xiao Yuanmu said in a low voice: "I will tell you my biggest secret."

Song Xuanhe hugged his hands tightly and hummed.

"If I never tell you, would you be angry?" Xiao Yuanmu's mute voice sounded again.

"No." Song Xuanhe closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembled, and said: "Anyone has a secret that they can't tell others."

Xiao Yuanmu raised his head, released Song Xuanhe, looked at him and said, "So are you?"

"Yes." Song Xuanhe opened his eyes and met his dark eyes. He couldn't see what emotions were hidden in his deep eyes, or there was nothing at all: "I have a secret too."

"Will you tell me when the time is right?"

Song Xuan and Tongren trembled, and smiled at the corners of their mouths: "You will know when you wait."

Xiao Yuanmu's index finger fell on the end of his eyebrows, slipped from the brow bone, from his eyelashes, and along the cheekbones to the corner of his mouth. He gently rubbed it and whispered, "I'm very curious."

"Is curiosity more than sad emotions?" Song Xuanhe blinked, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Yuanmu said: "There is only curiosity."

"Don't be sad." Song Xuanhe hugged him, kissed the corner of his lips, and whispered: "But in front of me, you can show sadness."

Xiao Yuanmu shook his head, looked at him seriously and said, "I am not sad."

He said: "As long as you are here, I won't be sad."
