“You think I don’t know? If it weren’t for your deliberate plot, how would Qingxin have run into us? Some things are better left unsaid, but you’re forcing me to speak them out loud! Mantong, you are becoming increasingly unreasonable.” After saying this, Gu Huai’an, walked away.
Zhou Mantong clenched her hand into a fist, her fine manicured nails practically piercing her own flesh. She had always thought that her actions were undetectable, that Gu Huai’an didn’t know anything. But as it turned out, he knew everything.
She thought she had been playing everyone like a fiddle — it turns out, the real fool was her!
What exactly did Gu Huai’an mean just now? She couldn’t quite make it out.
Gu Yunci’s eyebrows grew more and more knotted, but with a shift of her eyes, she came up with a new idea.
When Gu Qingxin returned to Bai Qianqian’s hospital room, she lifted her head to see Beiming Han coming towards her. Remembering the injury on her face, she lifted her hand to cover it, but he had already caught her wrist.
Beiming Han’s sharp eyes fell on her face, where there were two very noticeable scratch marks on the originally fair skin. It looked like she had been scratched by someone — even though it was only a minor injury, it was particularly glaring.
“How did you get this!” Beiming Han asked in a cold voice.
“It was an accident…”
“Think carefully before you speak!” Beiming Han’s voice was even colder.
“I was scratched when I fought someone,” Gu Qingxin slowly lowered her head.
Beiming Han didn’t ask further. He lowered his head to examine the two tiny wounds on her face. Despite being a minor injury, the sight of them made him feel murderous.
“Big brother? Why are you here?” Bai Jingqing looked surprised at the sudden appearance of Beiming Han. Wasn’t his older brother supposed to be on a business trip in another country?
Beiming Han gave him a brief, warning glance, but Bai Jingqing wasn’t about to let it go. Beiming Han’s internal injury had never fully healed, and yet he was repeatedly taking flights. Was he suicidal?
“Get the best external medication here,” Beiming Han said, pulling Gu Qingxin into the room next door.
Bai Jingqing’s serious expression made Gu Qingxin take a second look. Why did it seem like Beiming Han shouldn’t be here?
Beiming Han used a cotton swab to clean and medicate the wound on her face. Having confirmed that she didn’t have any other injuries, he finally told her, “Go visit your friend, and stop running around, got it!”
“Oh.”
Gu Qingxin had thought that Beiming Han would punish her. But he let her go just like that?
Moreover, he insisted that she visits Bai Qianqian. She felt that something was off with Beiming Han, but she couldn’t figure out what.
Why did Beiming Han look unwell?
Was he sick?
After Beiming Han left, Gu Qingxin also hopped off the bed and went to Bai Qianqian’s hospital room.
Seeing her come in, Bai Qianqian promptly sat up. Gu Qingxin looked at her still-swollen face, felt a pang of guilt, sat by her bed and apologized, “Qianqian, I’m really sorry. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be suffering like this.”
“Silly, why are you saying all this?” Bai Qianqian laughed it off.
“Does it still hurt?” Gu Qingxin wanted to touch her face but was afraid of hurting her even more, which made her feel even more guilty.
“What happened to your face?” Bai Qianqian noticed the scratches on her face too.
“Gu Yunci did this to me. I went to the hospital to find her I beat her up!” Gu Qingxin was finally starting to feel better.
“You actually went to beat her? That woman’s so vicious, I’m afraid she’ll come up with a way to hurt you again.”
“I’m prepared for her now. It won’t be so easy for her to harm me again.”
“Does it hurt?” Bai Qianqian asked anxiously, looking at her face.
“It doesn’t hurt. Compared to your injuries, mine are nothing..”
