Chapter Seventeen Seeking Abuse

  As soon as Ji Qing saw Ji Liang being pushed away, she immediately grabbed his sleeve and pulled him back. She knew her brother's temperament better than anyone else - if something made him unhappy, he would become very violent and hit people, just like Shen Rui, regardless of whether they were male or female, anyone who provoked him would be beaten in the same way.

  Su Xiao is in this state, she must have already angered her brother. This girl looks so weak and doesn't even have the strength to fight back, if she doesn't hold onto Ji Liang, she'll be in trouble.

  "Brother, don't be impulsive, she..." Ji Qing hadn't finished speaking when he saw Ji Liang's smile. With a hint of playfulness and a tinge of heartache in his eyes. Was he feeling heartache for this girl named Su Xiao?

  Ji Qing looked at Ji Liang and fell into deep thought, until Xiang Su came over and patted her on the back, snapping her out of it.

  "Seasoned university student, what kind of philosophy of life is this again? Oh, won't you be worried that you can't get married and are thinking ahead about the major events in life?"

  "You're the one who can't get married." Ji Qing rarely spoke out to refute Xi Suo, and glared at him with discontent. No matter what happened, Xi Suo always seemed so nonchalant, definitely not understanding her distress. Ji Qing looked at the corners of his mouth that were curved up in a very playful arc, and let out a soft sigh in her heart. If only she could be as carefree as Xi Suo.

  With a heart thinking of Ji Liang's season, she didn't see the desolation flashing by in Xiang Su's eyes.

  "Why don't we take her to my place instead, Kedy can take care of her." A warm and timely voice like winter sunshine broke the long silence in the ward.

  Ouyang Bing stood quietly to one side, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, as if he hadn't just spoken. His chestnut-colored bangs fell down and covered his eyes, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

  "She's no longer my girlfriend, what do you care about her?" Shen Rui treated his ex-girlfriend with the same coldness as always, but this time there was a hint of anger.

  He should have treated her with indifference, not sent her to the hospital when she fainted, and certainly shouldn't have had other emotions for her. Damn those inexplicable, strange emotions.

  Shen Rui himself didn't know what kind of emotion it was, he just felt superfluous and shouldn't have had so many emotions, which really annoyed him.

  "Who do you think you are? You think everyone is as cold-blooded as you? What business does anyone have helping our family, Murning, with you being so self-righteous..."

  Sitting by the bedside watching Gu Mò Níng, Su Xiǎo was really fed up with Shěn Ruì being so cold to Gu Mò Níng, and suddenly stood up, pointing at Shěn Ruì's nose and scolding.

  Shen Rui was already very annoyed, and now being scolded by Su Xiao, even with a good temper, he couldn't help but want to hit someone.

  "Hey, Shen Rui." Ji Liang immediately noticed that Shen Rui's emotions were off and hastily walked to Su Xiao's side, softly calling out to Shen Rui to remind him, hoping he wouldn't be too impulsive.

  Shen Rui let out a cold hum, "However, it's also possible to let Kedy take care of her. After all, I promised you that as long as you let Gu Mò Ning and me interact for a month, I would make you my girlfriend. Since Gu Mò Ning is your friend, then she's also my friend, what do you say?"

  A warm breeze gently swept past her ear, and Shen Rui's words "What do you think?" were deliberately whispered into Su Xiao's ear in a gentle tone, as if he was happily seeking her opinion.

  But Su Xiao didn't find it particularly touching, and instead felt a inexplicable chill run down her spine.

  Shen Rui let out a cold laugh and walked out of the hospital room. Su Xiao was still standing in the same spot, trembling nonstop.

  She didn't want it to be like this either. At first, she was really infatuated and actually expected to be the girlfriend of a scumbag.

  "Bang" Su Xiao suddenly lost strength and sat down on the ground without warning. Ji Liang reacted quickly and went to pull her up, but ended up pulling nothing.

  Ji Liang crouched down and grabbed Su Xiao's arm, wanting to help her up, but was lightly dodged by Su Xiao.

  "Don't mind him, he didn't mean it, don't take it to heart." Ji Liang stretched out his hand again to try and comfort her, but saw Su Xiao slowly wrap her arms around herself, bury her head in her knees, and curl up into a ball.

  Ji Liang suddenly didn't want to disturb her anymore, quietly squatting beside her and watching her.

  She is very tall and has a strong presence, but it's not noticeable when she sits down. Her neat short hair is now somewhat disheveled, her exposed fingers have no flesh on them at all, and she looks terrifyingly thin.

  This woman, isn't she stupid? How can she not even take good care of herself and become so thin. She looks like she'd fall over with just a gust of wind, and yet she's still sitting on the ground, doesn't she know it's cold on the ground? She's suffering so much, but still thinking about Gu Mengning all the time.

  Ji Liang suddenly got a bit angry and pulled Su Xiao up, disregarding her feelings.

  "You know how to cry for Shen Rui, you know how to cry for Gu Mo Ning, but why don't you think about yourself? This isn't even your fault, what are you crying about..."

  "What's wrong with you, I'm crying or not, who am I crying for, what business is it of yours? You like to interfere so much, why don't you go help some old people on the street, after all, you guys have plenty of money..."

  "Excuse me, this is a ward, please keep quiet." A nurse knocked on the door outside to remind Su Xiao.

  Su Xiao quickly turned her head and took a look at Gu Moring. Fortunately, fortunately, she hadn't woken up Moring, otherwise her crime would have been even greater.

  Su Xiao had calmed down, but it was clear that Ji Liang did not intend to. He pulled Su Xiao's arm and walked out, this woman really needed a good lesson, otherwise it would be hard to dispel the anger in his heart.

  Su Xiao remained silent, allowing Ji Liang to pull him out of the hospital. As soon as they stepped out, he shook off Ji Liang's hand and swung a punch at him. Ji Liang quickly dodged, but Su Xiao's knuckle still grazed his cheek, leaving it red.

  Ji Qing only saw Su Xiao's fist flying out from behind, then Ji Liang dodged her face to the side. She thought Ji Liang was hit by Su Xiao and hurriedly ran over.

  Hou's face, which rarely showed any emotion other than a faint smile, let out a soft sigh. He saw Ji Liang dodge and not get hit at all, and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh before following him again.

  "Brother," The voice had already reached Jì Liáng and Sū Xiǎo's ears before Jì Qíng arrived, who hastily ran to Jì Liáng's front and stopped, nervously looking at his face.

  There isn't a serious injury, only a very faint red mark. Ji Qing let out a long sigh of relief, fortunately it wasn't too severe. But still, her heart ached, such an obvious red mark, how could this girl bring herself to do it?

  Ji Qing stamped her foot in front of Su Xiao, wanting to scold her, but was pulled behind by Ji Liang. "Qingqing, you should call Ah Shu to send you home, it's so late, Dad and Mom will worry."

  Ji Qing looked at Ji Liang incredulously, her brother was actually still so calm and hadn't even gotten angry. Then looking at Su Xiao, a layer of mist suddenly appeared in her eyes.

  Brother actually liked her, right. Ji Qing lowered his head in distress and walked to Xiang Su's side, holding his hand, without seeing the upward curve of his mouth, which was extremely joyful.

  Su Xiao was stared at by Ji Qing in a bewildered manner. What was she staring at her for? Had she snatched her candy or something?

  "Are you done venting? If not, continue hitting me, I won't dodge. But once you're done, listen to me carefully." Ji Liang suddenly looked at Su Xiao seriously, who glared back at him irritably.

  These two people are indeed siblings, both so inexplicably weird. Since he's asking for it, might as well give him a good beating to satisfy him.
