Band members, girls with fermented bean curd, step forward!

She knew this wasn't the time to vent her anger.

But why is this woman so calm about Chen's injury? Doesn't she have any idea what's wrong with Chen's condition...?

“Miss Liang, I will take full responsibility, no matter what… but right now, I want to ask you to help Chen first.”

The woman's request to rebel against Tian Gang infuriated Miss Liang, who laughed in exasperation. She couldn't understand how this woman had the audacity to speak like that.

"cold"

This time, Chen's voice arrived on time, and he gave Miss Liang a brief explanation.

"Xiangzi's father, that utterly wicked scumbag, is the reason she ended up in this situation. I acted impulsively and went to fight him."

"It was my fault, I'm sorry to trouble you again... But I still feel a great sense of accomplishment that I was able to free Xiangzi."

Chen's weak voice carried a hint of smugness.

"So, please don't blame her... I lost my money there too, and I can't go to the hospital, so I have to trouble you. I'm sorry, Liang..."

"I'm sorry, I can't repay your money for the time being... Please give me some more time."

With a tone filled with deep remorse, Chen Zheng sincerely confessed his actions to Miss Liang.

This also reinforces Liang's negative impression of that old man, diverting some attention from Xiangzi and preventing him from getting beaten up again.

She took a deep look at the door of the apartment next door and memorized the place.

Xiangzi? In just one night, his relationship with the woman who hurt him has progressed to this point?

They're just strangers, so why is he so willing to go to such lengths for this bitch? Does he think he's so great just because he saved her?

Did he consider her feelings? Or the feelings of everyone involved in ending the band? Even if he didn't consider ending the band, what about Aine, the shop assistant, and Momoka's thoughts?

Why doesn't he care about himself? Doesn't he know how important his situation is to those who care about him?

He's actually still thinking about paying me back...

He didn't realize that he didn't care about the money at all.

Miss Liang knew that if she continued to use such things to try and get closer to him, she would truly lose her chance.

Anger, resentment, jealousy... all were mixed together in her tangled mind.

She was furious at Chen's behavior; she resented not being treated the same way by him; and she was jealous of everything he had done for this complete stranger.

She made up her mind; she would possess everything he had.

If she's willing to invest so much in someone so clueless, then as someone with a closer relationship to Chen, she deserves even more.

Moreover, she simply couldn't forgive herself for failing to protect Chen's "Xiangzi," and she would never allow the person she trusted to be harmed again.

She looked coldly at Miss Xiangzi, ultimately suppressing her emotions for the time being.

Xiangzi and Liang, one on each side, supported the limp Chen and carried him downstairs.

On his right hand, the wound reopened, and blood dripped onto Miss Liang's clothes.

She quickened her pace; the moment she saw Chen upstairs, she had already called an Uber.

She cared more about Chen's injuries than anyone else, because he was the person she had chosen.

As they reached the bottom of the stairs, a menacing male voice berated Xiangzi beside her. Then, he threw down a package containing Xiangzi's clothes and bedding.

The middle-aged man shouted that he never wanted to see anything related to Xiangzi again.

Trembling, Xiangzi picked up the hastily packed belongings and silently followed Liang and Chen, continuing to offer Chen support.

Miss Liang forced Miss Xiangzi to sit in the front seat of the car with a death stare; she had wanted to sit in the back to take care of Chen.

This is something Liang cannot allow.

She instructed the driver to speed up and rush to her family's hospital.

Now that things have come to this, she wouldn't be the bad guy in front of Chen, kicking Miss Xiangzi out and forbidding her from getting a ride.

She wanted Xiangzi to see for herself just how much pain she had caused Chen; she wouldn't allow this Miss Xiangzi to escape.

Like Xiangzi, Liang placed Chen's head on her lap and examined the top of Chen's head.

The bleeding from the wound has gradually stopped, but the numerous tiny shards of glass on his scalp will undoubtedly cause him immense pain in the future.

She examined it carefully, then turned her attention to his right hand.

Given the bleeding, the wound has undoubtedly reopened, requiring stitches again, which will only intensify the pain and make him suffer even more.

And all of this was because of the woman sitting in the passenger seat.

Even though Liang Xin harbored immense hatred, she couldn't vent it now. Even if it was because of Xiangzi's so-called bastard father, her anger wouldn't dissipate.

Ha, Chen should have completely won her over by now, right? Then I'll use the person she cares about most to torment her.

Let this Miss Xiangzi also experience the feeling of unbearable pain.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Liang and Xiangzi got out of the car first. Liang had already contacted people at the hospital while still in the car.

Chen was placed on a trolley that was pushed over for emergency treatment. Thanks to the doctor's speed, they arrived before the two ladies.

Miss Liang's hand, as firm as an iron clamp, gripped Xiangzi's wrist and dragged her mercilessly outside the medical room.

Miss Liang pressed Xiangzi's head against the transparent glass outside the consultation room, coldly watching her face being squeezed.

"Watch closely, see the pain Chen is suffering right now." Her voice was colder than ever before.

"Don't blink, memorize every single expression on his face right now."

With her other hand, Liang held down the area below Xiangzi's eyes, preventing her from blinking.

The first injury treated was to the head. The doctors removed foreign objects from the wound and shaved the hair off the injured area.

Then I cleaned away the tiny shards of glass; the ones stuck in my hair had already fallen out with the cut hair.

What was stuck in Chen's scalp caused him endless pain.

The local anesthesia only began at this point. As the anesthetic was injected around the wound, the horrific expression of pain on Chen's face and the trembling in his body finally subsided.

At this point, the wound on my palm was also being treated.

The doctor removed the stitches that had snapped and disinfected the wound again.

This time, Chen wasn't so lucky; his hand wasn't anesthetized, and he could only endure the unbearable pain.

Remove stitches, disinfect again, stop bleeding, suture...

These few simple steps caused him even more pain than the night before, and he gestured to the doctor to give him a roll of gauze to bite down on.

Xiangzi's tears streamed down the glass outside the consultation room.

Seeing this, Miss Liang felt a surge of pleasure, but like Xiangzi, she was also worried about Chen, who was currently receiving treatment.

After all, she didn't want to see the person she cared about suffer like that; she wasn't the kind of bad woman who took pleasure in other people's pain.

The two women waiting outside lost all sense of time, silently watching Chen receive treatment.

Finally, the doctor got up and walked to the door, pushing Chen into a nearby ward.

On the way, I reported the treatment progress to the young lady.

After settling Chen in, Liang waved for them to leave and led Xiangzi into the ward.

The local anesthesia, combined with extreme pain, had put Chen into a deep sleep; he didn't know when he would wake up.

Xiangzi knelt trembling beside the hospital bed, wanting to place his hand over Xiangzi's intact left hand.

But Liang stopped him from doing so.

"Are you worthy?" she asked Xiangzi, who was making that gesture.

"You didn't even have money to take a taxi to the hospital; he even begged me for help."

She interrogated Xiangzi

"Having accepted such a favor from him, what exactly is your status in staying by his side? You can't even do the most basic things."

She spoke harshly to Xiangzi without any mercy, saying that she was dangerous to Mrs. Chen and that Miss Liang must get rid of her.

Xiangzi stood up and met the gaze of Miss Liang, who was staring at her with eyes as sharp as swords.

Her voice was weak yet firm, and the words she uttered caused Miss Liang's pupils to constrict.

"I know that a woman like me, who causes him so much trouble, doesn't deserve to stay by his side."

"But Chen said he needs me, he's willing to be family with me... so I won't leave him."

"He's right. Life is long, and I will stay with him forever, until the day I die."

Xiangzi thus proclaimed his existence.

Miss Liang fell silent, neither uttering a word nor questioning the veracity of her words.

She walked out of the ward.

She broke down.

ps

So refreshing! Miss Liang's defenses are broken! So refreshing!

Chapter 36 The Spiky Gathering in a Strange Way [4k5]

Today is Saturday, which is also the time when Chen instructed Tao Xiang to invite Ren Cai out for dinner.

However, given his current coma, it seems this dinner party is going to be canceled.

It was already past six o'clock in the evening, and Tao Xiang was getting anxious as Chen still hadn't returned home.

What on earth is Chen busy with? He hasn't called or texted her at all. Tao Xiang feels that if Chen isn't around, she has no confidence in getting Ren Cai to join the band.

As time passed, Nina messaged her, saying she was on her way, and her anxiety grew.

"What's wrong? Didn't Chen agree to invite Rencai with us today?"

Ms. Anwa, who arrived early, was carrying a lantern, which she intended to give to Nina as a gift.

"Well, I don't know what happened either. Chen is usually very good at keeping his promises..."

Tao Xiang was a little confused, so she dialed Chen's number.

In the hospital room, Xiangzi sat on a chair beside the bed, his upper body resting on the edge of the bed.

Suddenly, she heard a cell phone ringing beside her; it sounded like it was coming from Chen.

It must have been a call from his friend, right?

Thinking this, Xiangzi prepared to take the phone from him and answer the call.

Miss Liang, who had gone outside to calm herself down, returned to the ward at this moment. She pushed Xiangzi's hand away and took over the task herself.

On the phone screen, the contact's name was "Troublesome Drunkard," which should be Ms. Momoka.

Miss Liang slid the answer button. She didn't intend to hide Chen's current situation from him, since his injuries would definitely be discovered as soon as he got home. It was better to tell them directly.

Tao Xiang paced back and forth in the living room.

The call connected, but the voice on the other end wasn't Chen's; it was Ms. Yamada's.

"Huh?! What?! He's injured and still unconscious in the hospital?"

"Okay, I've received the address. I'll head over right away!"

Momoka's sudden, excited voice startled Anwa Subaru, who was pressed close behind her, trying to eavesdrop on the call.

Seeing Tao Xiang anxiously hang up the phone and prepare to rush out of the room, she, not understanding what was going on, hurriedly grabbed the big golden retriever.

"What? Who's injured and unconscious?" She had a guess in her mind. After all, the only one who could make Tao Xiang so excited was that classmate Chen, right?

"It's Chen. He got into a fight and passed out!" Miss Yamada didn't tell her the specifics of his injuries, only briefly explaining Chen's current condition.

"If you go now, what about Nina? She'll be here soon."

Miss Anhe pointed out Taoxiang's oversight and offered constructive suggestions.

"Anyway, Rencai and Chen have a good relationship, right? Why don't we wait for her and then go to the hospital to see Chen together?"

Momoka, who had been flustered by concern, calmed down a bit and thought Miss Anwa's suggestion was good.

"In that case, I'll invite Rupa and Satoshi too; they're probably the ones who care about Chen the most."

"Huh? Rupa and Ash are here?"
