Hearing the commotion, Anna regained her senses. Fool?
She was so angry her face turned red, and she slammed her phone heavily onto the ground!
It was one thing to toy with her, but she even dared to insult her!
Song Xi, you damned bitch, I'm going to kill you!!!
Song Xi’s leg was injured, so she couldn’t run far and was caught by Anna in no time.
This time, Anna didn’t hesitate. She grabbed the iron pipe and swung it down fiercely.
"Song Xi, die!"
Just then, a figure flashed by. With a turn, he tightly embraced Song Xi.
Behind them, a barely audible groan was heard.
Song Xi smelled a familiar and deeply reassuring sandalwood scent. In an instant, her whole body went limp.
"Yu Ming… Yu Ming, I… it’s not what you think, let me explain…"
The moment Anna saw Lou Yu Ming, her expression instantly turned to one of horror.
But before she could finish speaking, she was apprehended by a group of police officers.
Amidst Anna’s frantic screams, Lou Yu Ming carried Song Xi downstairs, never looking back.
His coldness and ruthlessness were like knives cutting into Anna’s heart.
She wailed, her cries desperate and mournful. The farcical scene finally drew to a close amidst her tears.
…
Song Xi woke up two days later.
She thought she had a nightmare, but upon waking, she found herself in a hospital room.
"Xi Xi, you're awake!" Ge Bai Tao was overjoyed to see her awake. "Are you thirsty? Hungry? I'll call a nurse!"
Song Xi cleared her throat, her voice extremely hoarse. "Why am I here?"
Ge Bai Tao poured her a cup of water. "Don't you remember?"
Song Xi felt a bit dizzy. Two words came from her lips: "...Anna."
Mentioning Anna's name, Ge Bai Tao became furious. "Don't mention that woman, she's bad luck! She was truly insane to dare to kidnap someone. If not for the Shao family's protection, she'd probably have been in jail for a few years!"
Hearing this, Song Xi couldn't help but ask, "What's the outcome now?"
"She's in the lock-up!" Ge Bai Tao suddenly remembered something and lowered her voice. "Xi Xi, you and Lou Yu Ming are back together, why didn't you tell me!"
How could she know!?
Seeing her surprised expression, Ge Bai Tao snorted. "The Shao family hired lawyers to try and exonerate Anna. Shao Cheng even had a huge argument with Grandma Shao over this. I didn't expect him to be so eccentric, but he really upheld justice in this matter, even against his own family!"
Realizing she had said too much, Ge Bai Tao quickly changed the subject. "Then Uncle Lou directly leaked some information, causing the Shao family's lawyers to flee at the last minute. If Grandma Shao hadn't been so angered that she was hospitalized, and Shao Cheng hadn't pleaded with Uncle Lou, this matter would have been more than just a couple of years in jail."
"Honestly, it’s the first time I’ve seen Uncle Lou so angry. You have no idea how terrifying his expression was!"
Song Xi’s heart skipped a beat. "Then, am I..."
"Don't worry, Uncle Lou has suppressed the news, so no one knows it was you. However, the news of Anna kidnapping someone has spread throughout the circle. Some people say she's gone mad, otherwise, why would a well-to-do young lady engage in such a deed?"
Recalling her manic expression at the time, Song Xi thought, she truly was mad, driven mad by love turned to hate.
"Where's Mi Xuan?"
Ge Bai Tao's expression turned grim. "Was she involved in the kidnapping too?"
Song Xi pursed her lips and remained silent.
"You need to discuss this with Lou Yu Ming. Mi Xuan broke her leg and is still in the hospital."
"Okay." Song Xi nodded. "Thank you, Taozi, and… I'm sorry."
Ge Bai Tao reached out and hugged her. "I know, but Xi Xi, as long as you think it's right, as long as you feel it's good, then it is good. Can you tell me now, do you like Lou Yu Ming?"
This question, in the moment Lou Yu Ming had bravely rushed to shield her, Song Xi had already known the answer.
She pondered for a moment and nodded.
Although Ge Bai Tao was worried, she thought that since Lou Yu Ming could defy Shao Cheng’s influence to deal with Anna like that, he must have Song Xi in his heart.
"You rest well. I'll go get him to come in."
He!?
Song Xi looked at the door in shock.
The door slowly opened. A man stood there, tall and handsome, with sharp brows, starry eyes, and prominent features. Especially his eyes, which seemed to bore into her across the distance, making Song Xi feel nervous.
"You heard that," Ge Bai Tao whispered from the doorway.
Lou Yu Ming nodded slightly. Though his face remained expressionless, he was satisfied inwardly.
"Song Xi just woke up, don't get angry with her, or… I won't let you off!" Ge Bai Tao said, clenching her fist.
Lou Yu Ming lowered his gaze at her. "Calling me Lou Yu Ming like that, have you gotten bold?"
Ge Bai Tao was startled and quickly closed the door, running away.
Now, only Lou Yu Ming and Song Xi were left in the ward.
