A group of us were chatting in the ward. Because I had a sore throat, I talked less and listened more.
Zheng Zeyu looked at me and said, "Rong Xin called Xiangdong's parents over. They will definitely bite you back, so be prepared."
My back stiffened instinctively and I straightened my back. I was already prepared in my heart, but I just hadn’t figured out how to deal with it yet.
Tan Huan said: "There are so many of us here. Rong Xin doesn't dare to do anything."
Zheng Zeyu said: "Rong Xin doesn't dare to do anything. Just be afraid..."
Before he could finish his words, there were only three knocks on the door, and Wei Zheng said: "Come in."
A young nurse walked in. The nurse looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Mr. Luo from Ward 1203, please ask Miss Liang to come over."
She trailed off. My heart skipped a beat. The whole room became nervous along with me.
After being silent for three seconds, Wei Zheng said: "Okay, I understand. You can go out first."
After the little nurse left, Tan Huan looked at me anxiously. He couldn't help but said: "Zi Jin. Have you thought about what to say?"
While I was recovering from the illness. With a hoarse voice, he replied in a low voice: "Tell the truth."
Zheng Zeyu stood up from the sofa. He frowned and said, "That stinky girl must have said bad things about you in front of Xiangdong's parents. We haven't caught her right now. You can go there later..." Zheng Zeyu paused. Then he whispered: "No matter what Xiangdong's parents say, don't take it to your heart. Xiangdong's heart is towards you."
I nodded, and Wei Zheng also told me: "Control your hot temper, this is not the time to act on your whim."
"I know." His throat burned uncomfortably with every word he spoke. Looking at a room full of people looking at me worriedly, I raised the corners of my lips and replied with a slight smile: "Don't worry, can I still quarrel with Xiangdong's parents?"
After all, Tan Huan is a woman, and she probably understands my current mood best. I am laughing, but her eyes are red.
Not daring to keep Luo Zhenye waiting, I put on my shoes and walked out. A bunch of people were following me, as if they were waving flags and cheering me on.
I lived in room 1208. I went out and walked to the left for a while, and came to the door of room 1203. He reached out and knocked on the door, and heard someone inside say: "Come in."
Even though I had prepared for the worst, the moment I reached out and pushed open the door, I still couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. After all, I still felt uneasy.
The VIP wards are all suites, decorated like luxury apartments. A group of us walked inside, through the living room and to the innermost ward.
The door was open. Looking over, Rong Xin was lying on the bed wearing a hospital gown. Luo Zhenye and Guan Lin were sitting on chairs on both sides of the hospital bed. There were some people in the room, all of whom were Rong Xin's friends from Canada.
When these people saw me, they all made an expression of hatred and itchy teeth.
I glanced at their faces, knowing deep down what they were thinking, so I would only give them a cold look.
Seeing me coming in, Guan Lin glanced sideways at me, I nodded and called, "Auntie."
Guan Lin nodded and said nothing.
Luo Zhenye turned his back to me and didn't even turn his head. He just said to Rong Xin who was awake: "Take good care of her here. If you need anything, tell your grandparents. Your family is not here. We will take care of you."
Rong Xin's face turned pale, her makeup from last night had long since disappeared, her eyes were red, and she looked a bit pitiful. She nodded to Luo Zhenye, and then whispered: "Thank you, grandpa."
Luo Zhenye said: "Why are you thanking me? I didn't take good care of you when you came to Night City. I'm sorry for your grandfather and your family."
Rong Xin said: "Grandpa, don't say that. I didn't tell my family. They don't know that I was hospitalized."
After she finished speaking, a woman among her friends said aggrievedly: "There is no need to tell you what Rong Xin suffered when she had her stomach emptied this morning. Our first reaction was to call her family, but Rong Xin refused to let her go. I don’t want my family to worry and I don’t want them to know what’s going on here.”
I glanced at it without leaving any trace, thinking that they had already made the buttons, and they were all connected, just waiting for me to jump in.
I don't blame Rong Xinshui, I just blame me for treating her as a normal person. She was only twenty-two years old, how could I have thought that she had such a dark heart, that she would not only kill me, but also be cruel to herself.
Luo Zhenye nodded lightly and said to Rong Xin: "You have suffered this time. Grandpa feels bad. It's all your fault that your brother-in-law didn't take good care of you and waited for him to come back."
It had been a while since I walked in, and it was clearly Luo Zhenye who asked me to come, but he didn't say a word to me, and he didn't even look back at me. This was really beyond my expectation. I thought he would reprimand me in public, but I have to say that his indifference made me feel more frustrated than blaming him.
Rong Xin's voice was also deep and hoarse. I didn't doubt that she had had her stomach evacuated, not to mention that she was still in Wei Zheng's hospital and couldn't fake it.
With red eyes, she said to Luo Zhenye: "Grandpa, don't blame my uncle. Isn't he going abroad to work? Otherwise, he is usually very good to me."
After saying that, she swallowed hard and continued: "My uncle and sister Zijin are both very good to me. This time it was sister Zijin who took the time to take us around. I didn't expect that something like this would happen..."
I stood two meters away from Rong Xin's hospital bed, listening to her words that seemed to help me understand the hidden meaning behind every sentence.
She called Luo Xiangdong uncle, but she called me sister, which made it clear that she didn't acknowledge our relationship in her heart; besides, I didn't want to take them to play, but they came to me on their own initiative. I was riding a tiger and had to play with them.
She completely brushed herself off in just two words. It seemed like I took her to the nightclub on purpose while Luo Xiangdong was away.
Sure enough, when she finished speaking, Luo Zhenye turned around. He made eye contact with me and said calmly: "Miss Liang is just in time."
I originally wanted to call my uncle to say hello, but Luo Zhenye’s words about Miss Liang made me feel cold. The unspoken words were stuck in my throat. I paused for a moment and then said, "Uncle, why did you come to see me?"
Luo Zhenye had always turned his back to me. At this time, he turned slightly, looked at me and said, "I heard that Miss Liang led the group yesterday. Rong Xin ate dirty food in the nightclub and was taken to the hospital for gastric lavage. Here As a tour guide, shouldn’t Miss Liang accompany me for a while?”
There was no question in Luo Zhenye's voice, and there was no obvious displeasure, but everyone present was silent. Some people are watching my excitement, and some are sweating for me. As for me, I was extremely frightened, but I felt calm.
I didn't do anything wrong and there was no need to be scared by anyone.
Looking back at Luo Zhenye calmly, I said: "Uncle, last night's trip to the nightclub was strongly requested by Miss Rong and her friends. I know that places like nightclubs may be unsafe, so I paid special attention not to drink too much. Later, the drinks were changed.”
"I have never been in contact with anyone other than Ms. Rong and her friends, and I have never drank anything handed to me. But I don't know when I was drugged. I was also sent to the hospital by a friend to have my stomach washed. At that time I couldn’t care less about Miss Rong and the others. I didn’t know that Miss Rong was also admitted to the hospital.”
After saying so many words at once, my throat couldn't bear the load, and my voice became hoarse and deeper. Later, I even coughed before I finished speaking.
Zheng Zeyu walked to the table next to him, took me a bottle of water regardless of other people's looks, unscrewed the cap and handed it to me.
Wei Zheng also said: "Zijin, let me get you a chair to sit on for a while."
I said, "No need."
Luo Zhenye is sitting. How dare I sit? I'd better stand honestly.
When I finished speaking, before Luo Zhenye could speak, I heard the sick Rong Xin behind him cough. Immediately, Luo Zhenye and Guan Lin went to see her. Rong Xin put her hand on her throat and frowned.
Harry walked over to hand her some water, and then said casually, "When Miss Liang was sitting alone on the sofa last night, didn't someone go over and toast her?"
Harry spoke English and pretended that he was just communicating with Rong Xin. But in this room full of people, who doesn’t understand English
After Rong Xin coughed a few times, her eyes immediately fell on me. She whispered: "Sister Zijin, could it be the man who came to chat with you last night? Well... he was the one who put something in your drink. Got the medicine?"
I had no expression on my face and immediately rejected it: "No way, I didn't drink his wine, and he didn't put anything in my cup."
Rong Xin frowned and said, "That's weird, why are there only two of us..."
Tan Huan, who was standing next to me, said, "Don't worry, Miss Rong. The truth will eventually come to light. Who is behind this will be revealed sooner or later."
Wei Zheng also said: "Yes, now that the incident has come out and both of you have gone to the hospital for gastric lavage, then we must find out who is so bold and dares to put medicine in your cups. "You two should have a good rest here. If you need anything, just tell the nurses and they will take good care of you."
Luo Zhenye looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Zheng, then I'll trouble you."
Wei Zheng nodded: "Uncle, you should be polite."
Luo Zhenye said: "Rong Xin's whole family is in Canada, and she came to Ye City alone. I haven't taken good care of her, and she is like this. I don't know how to explain it to her grandfather."
By saying this, it was clear that he was blaming me.
Rong Xin whispered: "Grandpa, don't blame yourself, I'm not doing well now, but Sister Zijin..."
Her voice choked up and her eyes immediately turned red. A group of Rong Xin's friends also looked at me meaningfully. One of the women said: "Sister Zijin, you... last night... with that waiter..."
Before she could finish her words, Zheng Zeyu immediately interrupted: "Fortunately, Zijin's friend sent her to the hospital for gastric lavage in time, otherwise you, a group of people, wouldn't have taken a fancy to a woman. Especially those men, what would they do? of?"
Zheng Zeyu changed the topic and directly pointed the finger at the people around Rong Xin.
Several men suddenly looked at each other, as if they didn't expect that the flames of war would affect them.
