The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 530

The declaration of estrangement had a significant impact.

No sooner had the Jiang Family released it than it shot up the search engine hot search lists.

Topics like "Designer X Disowned," "Woman too ruthless, status unstable" and related topics led the hot search list by a wide margin.

Jiang Moxi was temporarily unaware of what was happening on the hot search; she had just been informed by the nurse that Hu Yedong had been protesting by fasting ever since she had fed him his medicine that morning, so she had no choice but to rush back to the Chinese Hospital.

At this moment, Hu Yedong’s mental state was clearly much worse than it had been in the morning; he lay in the hospital bed, looking utterly listless.

"Get up and eat something. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t make it till tomorrow morning." Jiang Moxi urged.

But Hu Yedong turned over, using his back to express his protest to her.

Seeing this, Jiang Moxi simply had a nurse bring over a serving of porridge, and once it was cool enough, she once again lifted Hu Yedong’s quilt.

What followed was a process that both the live stream viewers and Hu Yedong himself were quite familiar with.

As soon as a bowl of porridge was fed into Hu Yedong’s mouth, Jiang Moxi pushed his chin back in place.

"Still hungry? Want another bowl?" Jiang Moxi asked him.

Hu Yedong was so upset he didn’t know what to say: "Living like this, I have no dignity. You might as well just kill me!"

"If you want to live with dignity, then eat more, get better sooner, and then you’ll have the strength to fight against me."

Jiang Moxi scooped up half a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Hu Yedong.

Hu Yedong didn’t refuse because he could feel that after Jiang Moxi had fed him a bowl of porridge, the terrible feeling he had as if he was about to die had eased significantly.

But he didn’t feel that eating the food amounted to submitting to Jiang Moxi, which made him especially aggrieved.

So, Hu Yedong thought of something...

"You resort to any means necessary to achieve your goals, so that must be why your own family doesn’t want you."

Hu Yedong’s words made Jiang Moxi raise her eyebrows in confusion.

Seeing Jiang Moxi’s confusion, Hu Yedong simply showed her the news about the Jiang Family’s declaration of estrangement that had hit the hot search he had stumbled upon earlier.

Jiang Moxi took the phone and saw the freshly issued declaration from the Jiang Family members.

She knew that the Jiang Family released the declaration at this time probably because they were worried she wouldn’t be able to cure Hu Yedong and that it would implicate their family.

She had always emphasized that she wanted to sever ties with the Jiang Family, but when they took the initiative to announce the disownment, she felt a sigh of relief, and yet, there was also an inexplicable sense of loss.

She didn’t understand why Fu Youhan’s biological parents were so happy and excited to find him, whereas her own biological parents seemed to reject her so vehemently, even wishing to proclaim their disavowal to the world.

Jiang Moxi didn’t cry, but both Hu Yedong and the viewers in the live stream could clearly sense Jiang Moxi’s sorrow at that moment.

"I feel... Designer X still cares about her biological parents to some extent."

"Aren’t Designer X’s biological parents overdoing it? Most people would rush to their children’s defense in adversity, but they instead rush to distance themselves even before trouble arises."

"I know it might not be right to say this, but I think Designer X’s saddened appearance makes it impossible for me to be angry with her, no matter what she does."

While netizens were buzzing with all kinds of comments, Hu Yedong also tentatively asked Jiang Moxi, "Are you... sad?"

Actually, when Jiang Moxi forcefully fed him the medicine, it was also for his own good, for Hu Yedong.

Now, seeing Jiang Moxi really upset, Hu Yedong also felt somewhat guilty.

"It’s not that I’m sad, just somewhat confused. Why is it that my family seems different from everyone else’s?"

Jiang Moxi’s eyelids drooped, and her lips still curved slightly, but it just made one feel a silent sadness spreading out.

Seeing this, Hu Yedong didn’t know how to comfort Jiang Moxi for a moment, and also regretted bringing up this topic to attack Jiang Moxi earlier.

But it seemed Jiang Moxi didn’t blame him, casually asking him as if making small talk, "Do your relatives do this too?"

Hu Yedong knew that Jiang Moxi was asking him if his relatives were like the Jiang Family, who, when faced with trouble, worried about getting involved and just cut ties with him directly.

He thought for a moment, and then a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"My love life was a mess, but my parents and relatives have been really good to me. When they found out I was sick and had been swindled of all my money, they didn’t blame me at all. My parents even put up their house for sale, hoping to treat my illness, and friends and family were also actively helping me raise money..."

Having said that, Hu Yedong sighed softly again: "It’s precisely because of this that I don’t know how to face them. This illness is like a bottomless pit, and in the end, it usually leaves one with nothing, both financially and personally. I don’t want my parents to end up homeless and lacking any security after I’m gone."

As Hu Yedong spoke, the live chat’s messages skyrocketed.

"So, Hu Yedong is worried about his parents, not wanting them to go through hardship after he’s gone."

"I thought he was hopelessly obsessed with his ex-wife, but now hearing about his concern for his parents, I suddenly feel it’s understandable."

"I was originally here to see Designer X fail to treat Hu Yedong, but now I suddenly really hope to see Designer X cure him."

"Family, are you crying? Quickly ask the show crew where we can donate to Hu Yedong and his parents..."

While the live chat’s comments flowed like crazy, the conversation between Jiang Moxi and Hu Yedong continued.

"If you haven’t even tried treatment, how can you be sure the end result will definitely be a loss of both health and wealth? And aren’t you worried, if you suddenly pass away, your parents might not be able to take such a hit?"

"Taking a step back, even if your parents survive this ordeal now, in a few years when they become too old to even walk, eventually dying due to lack of care, what good would keeping an old house do?"

Under Jiang Moxi’s stream of questioning, Hu Yedong suddenly fell silent.

He had only thought of leaving something behind for his parents so that their future life would be secured.

But now that he thought about it, it seemed somewhat selfish.

Even if he repeatedly instructed other friends and relatives to check on his parents more often after his passing, it might work for the first year or two, but over time, when others have their own families and lives, how could they possibly keep them company as his own child would?

After a long while, Hu Yedong finally spoke, his voice hoarse to the extreme.

"Even if I want to live, and want to take care of them myself, fate wouldn’t give me that chance. Ah..."

That last sigh carried with it endless sorrow.

But Jiang Moxi said indifferently, "As long as fate doesn’t strike you dead with one blow, you have a chance to fight back."

Hu Yedong’s expression showed a flicker of turbulence: "How can I fight back?"

"Struggle to take your medicine, eat properly. Leave the rest to me, I’ll flip through medical books to save you."
