As soon as Ilia met Yan Huai's eyes, she felt uneasy and her scalp tingled. She always felt that Yan Huai had seen through her plan.

But, what does it matter if she sees through it, as long as her parents stand on her side.

Her face was pale, her shoulders were shaking slightly, and she whispered, "Brother."

Seeing this, Xie Shu patted Ilia's shoulder in a soothing manner and angrily scolded Yan Huai, "Your sister is still sick, can't you be kinder to her?"

Yan Huai glanced at Ilia and smiled, "She can now receive treatment here in peace instead of waiting to be sentenced in Jiangcheng Detention Center. This is the greatest kindness I can show her."

"you……"

When the detention center was mentioned, Ilia was filled with hatred. She pinched her thigh hard, tears welled up in her eyes, and she shrank into Xie Shu's arms, "Mom, will my brother lock me up in the small dark room again? Talk to him nicely, don't force me to go in, I will listen to him!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mom is here!" Xie Shu gently comforted Ilia, "I'm going to talk to your brother, Ilia, be good."

"Yeah." Ilia nodded timidly.

Xie Shu raised his eyes and looked at Yan Huai, his eyes were cold, he stood up and walked out, "Caesar, come out with me."

Yan Huai stood there and glanced at Ilia.

Ilia shrank her neck and turned her eyes away.

Yan Huai raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his lips and followed Xie Shu out of the ward.

"Caesar, what did you do in Jiangcheng to make your sister become like this?!"

In the stairwell, Xie Shu questioned angrily.

"Mom, calm down first. Don't get angry and get yourself in trouble." Yan Huai remained calm.

"How can you expect me to calm down like that, Ilia?"

Yan Huai looked around calmly, took a step back, leaned against the wall, and looked at her quietly.

Xie Shu frowned and asked, "Did you tell Ilia that you wanted to kick her out of the house?"

Yan Huai had a calm expression and remained silent.

After waiting for a few seconds, Xie Shu said anxiously, "Speak!"

Yan Huai remained silent, leaning against the wall with a relaxed look.

"Caesar!"

Yan Huai closed his eyes.

Xie Shu: “…”

She stared at Yan Huai and took a deep breath.

After a long time, Xie Shu finally calmed down and sighed, "Caesar, you have seen your sister's current state. She is very afraid of you. Why?"

Yan Huai opened his eyes and looked at Xie Shu, "I'm curious too, why?"

He stood up straight and paced towards the window. "Before entering the detention center, she was fine. In the interrogation room, she even threatened me and asked me to let her out. After she came out, she became like this."

"It must be because of the environment in the detention center..."

"So, do you think it was a mistake for me to let the police put her in the detention center?"

Facing Yan Huai's burning gaze, Xie Shu couldn't just say that he was wrong, so he just changed the subject, "You weren't like this before, it's just because Ilia offended Miss Tang this time, is she more important than your sister?"

"From what you said, you are blaming Shang Shishi? Blaming her for not being able to settle things with money like those people before?"

Xie Shu felt hot on his face after hearing this. He lowered his head and sighed, "I was just thinking, you could have let Ilia stay in there for a few days less..."

Yan Huai sneered, "Mom, do you think your uncle can cover the sky with one hand in Jiangcheng? Do you think I can do whatever I want? Fu Zheng's ex-wife Wen Liang learned that her friend had implicated her, and she was determined to seek justice for Shishi. If Shishi hadn't tried her best to stop her, Wen Liang would have reported the matter to the Zhang family long ago."

The Zhang family is also a political family in Jiangcheng, and has always been in competition with the Xie family. In the last election, the Zhang family lost to Xie Zhen, and have always wanted to bring Xie Zhen down, but they couldn't find any evidence to prove it.

If the Zhang family knew about this, Xie Zhen could only watch Ilia being prosecuted by the procuratorate. The whole process would take at least three months and at most half a year.

He continued, "You must know what will happen to Ilia if you tell the Zhang family! Doesn't Shishi want to seek justice for herself? Why did she stop Wen Liang? It was because of me. She didn't want to embarrass me! Shishi played the role of mediator, so Ilia only received such a light punishment."

"As her boyfriend, I can't seek justice for her. Instead, I want her to understand me. Mom, do you know how much pain I feel?"

"Mom, you and Ilia should thank Shishi for her generosity!"

Yan Huai didn't want Xie Shu to dislike Tang Shishi because of Ilia.

As for the villain Wen Liang he mentioned, her hatred for Ilia was already big enough, so this little bit wouldn't matter.

Xie Shu blushed at Yan Huai's words.

Is it true that she is too selfish?

You only care about your daughter but ignore your son's feelings?

Yan Huai struck while the iron was hot, "You, Dad, and I are all responsible for Ilia's current situation. You were in poor health, and Dad was busy with work, so he neglected to teach Ilia, which is why she developed such an arrogant character and bullied others. At first, you just thought it was a small fight and didn't take it seriously. When she caused a big disaster and violated the law, you didn't want her to suffer, so you used money to settle the victim. Step by step, she became like this now, doing whatever she wants. Letting her continue like before will only hurt herself. She was lucky to get away with it this time, but what if she offends someone she shouldn't offend next time?"

"Mom, I know you feel bad for Ilia. She is my sister, so should I. No one wants to see her become like this. Even if you want to blame me, you should wait until she recovers. She has a mental problem, and you should take her to see a psychiatrist immediately."

Listening to Yan Huai's words, Xie Shu unconsciously followed his thoughts, "I've thought about taking her to see a psychiatrist a long time ago, but she didn't want to..."

"Mom, some patients don't want to admit that they are sick. How can you listen to her? You feel sorry for her and don't want to force her. You temporarily agree to her wishes, but this is actually harming her. Cutting her wrists to commit suicide is already serious. If you don't intervene in time, what if she starts to hurt herself? What if she cuts her wrists again?"

Hearing this, Xie Shu also realized the seriousness of the situation. "You're right. I should have her receive psychological treatment immediately."

She thought that maybe Ilia was sick and too emotionally sensitive. Caesar obviously cared about his sister very much.

"I do know a psychiatrist. Do you need me to recommend one to you?"

"No need for now, I'll tell you if this doesn't work."

"That's fine. Ilia can't move easily right now. Why don't you ask the doctor to come to the ward and just say that your friend is visiting so they can have a chat."

"Try it as you said first."

"Ilia doesn't want to see me now, so I won't go to the ward."

Ilia waited and waited in the ward. When she thought of Xie Shu scolding Yan Huai, the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.

That’s not enough, she also wants her parents to kick him out of the Wilson family!

She thought about it, picked up the cup on the table and threw it on the ground, picked up a piece of broken glass, and pretended to scratch her hand.

The servant at the door heard the sound and pushed the door open to check. Seeing this, he rushed forward and snatched the glass from her hand, "Miss, please don't do this..."

"Give it to me!" Ilia pretended to snatch it.

"No!"

Just then, Xie Shu came back. She looked at the scene in front of her and walked in quickly. "What's wrong?"
