This novel was adapted into a short drama called "Red Fruit," which can be searched for.
Lu Chi was an 18th-tier celebrity who finally got the chance to appear on a dating reality sho...
"No! Dad, Mom, I really wasn't dreaming. Someone was really poking my wound. It hurt so much, it really hurt."
Qiao Jiyang tried his best to explain.
However, when the Qiao couple examined the wound under the gauze, it had not reopened.
The couple looked at each other, unsure whether to believe their son.
I always felt like he was hallucinating.
Anna believes that Qiao Jiyang has been bullied too much by the Lu family, which has caused him psychological trauma. He always feels that someone wants to harm him.
She could only gently take his hand and say, "Son, don't be afraid. No one will dare to bully you anymore."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lu Jiyang let out another cry.
He kept saying, "It hurts, it hurts so much, someone is poking my wound again."
"Dad, Mom, go and call the doctor quickly, I'm in so much pain."
George Connor looked at Anna helplessly, and Anna looked back at him helplessly as well.
The couple were at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Qiao Jiyang's cries of pain grew louder and louder: "Dad, Mom, hurry and call the doctor! Hurry!"
The couple had no choice but to press the call button. Soon, the doctor came and performed various examinations on Qiao Jiyang, finding that he had no problems.
There was nothing else the doctor could do but call George Kang outside and say, "Mr. George, your son's condition might be a stress reaction. To put it bluntly, it's a psychological problem. It's probably because the injury was so severe that he keeps thinking someone is trying to harm him."
George Kang asked helplessly, "Doctor, what should we do about this illness?"
The doctor said, "We can treat his physical illnesses, but we can't treat his mental illnesses. You'll have to find him a psychologist."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
When the doctor left, Qiao Jiyang started making a fuss every 10 minutes.
The couple was getting annoyed by him.
If it weren't for the thought of how he had suffered so much since he was a child, I wouldn't have been able to criticize him; he would have been criticized.
In the latter half of the night, Qiao Jiyang finally stopped making a fuss. The couple lay on the cot next to each other, just wanting to get a good night's sleep, when Qiao Jiyang started making a fuss again.
George Kang looked up and saw Qiao Jiyang taking off the bandages from his body, poking his own wounds, and then shouting, "Dad, Mom, someone is poking my wounds!"
George Kang: "..."
Anna, who also witnessed this scene, was speechless.
Qiao Jiyang noticed his parents watching him, so he quickly withdrew his hand and lay back down on the bed.
The couple observed him for a while, then he went back to sleep.
Less than an hour later, they heard Qiao Jiyang's heart-wrenching cries again. This time, the couple got up from the two accompanying beds and saw that Qiao Jiyang had not only removed the gauze from the wound, but also made the wound bloody.
Especially his ribs on his back, which had been broken before and had just been set by the doctor, have now been broken again.
The nose, which was wrapped in gauze, was also broken again by Qiao Jiyang.
Seeing the puzzled looks on George Kang and his wife's faces, Qiao Jiyang cried as he explained, "Dad, Mom, it wasn't me who did it. It was a ghost. A ghost pulled my hand and did it."
"Really, Mom and Dad, you have to believe me, there really are ghosts! There really are ghosts!"
"Dad, if you don't believe me, check the hospital's surveillance footage. It wasn't me doing this to myself; something was holding my hand tightly and controlling me."
"I had no choice just now, otherwise who would want to hurt themselves?"
"Ouch...it hurts..."
George Kang initially did not believe Qiao Jiyang's words because he and his wife had witnessed Qiao Jiyang hurt himself.
But Qiao Jiyang insisted that someone was controlling his hands. Helpless, George Kang opened the door and went out, saying to the bodyguard outside, "Go check the surveillance footage."
"Yes, sir." The bodyguard respectfully went about his business.
Because he was re-injured, the emergency room doctor rushed over and took Qiao Jiyang to the operating room to treat his wounds again and bandage him.
...
Lu Chi watched this part of the video and then went to sleep, not watching any more of it.
He needs to get a good night's sleep today, and he'll get down to business tomorrow.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Su Yunian's mother, Xie Qing, returned home after drinking and singing with friends outside.
Looking at the time, it was already past 12:40 am. I thought my daughter must be asleep, so I had to be careful not to disturb her sleep.
Because I had taken a Didi ride, after getting out of the car at the entrance of the residential area, before I even entered the area, I heard a sobbing voice shouting, "Wife! Wife, I missed you!"
Xie Qing
She turned around abruptly and saw Su Jingang stumbling towards her, reeking of alcohol.
Xie Qing shifted her body to the side, instantly dodging Su Jingang's clutches.
Su Jingang took a few more steps forward, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face.
"Honey, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please give me another chance, okay?"
"Wife, I'm a piece of trash, I'm a complete scoundrel! I deserve to die!" Su Jingang said while slapping himself in the face.
"After thinking it over and over, I realize that the person I love is you, and my dearest daughter is Yu Nian. I blame myself for not recognizing people properly before, for being deceived and used by Zhao Min."
"Wife, do you know how ironic it is? Zhao Jinxuan isn't my biological son at all. He's that bastard Zhao Min's illegitimate child with another man. Isn't that hilarious? All these years, I've been raising someone else's bastard!"
"And I poured all my heart and soul into that bastard child! Wife, you're the best, you'll never betray me, you're the only one who truly loves me. That bitch Zhao Min not only betrayed me, but she also kept seeing other men and made me a cuckold for so many years!"
Su Jingang cried, slapped himself, and made various confessions.
Xie Qing crossed her arms and watched Su Jingang's performance coldly.
Su Jingang walked a little closer and reached out to hug Xie Qing: "Wife, I..."
Xie Qing slapped him hard across the face and said coldly, "You idiot! Scumbag! Now that Zhao Min has betrayed you, do you realize that I'm with my daughter? It's too late!"
“Wife, I really know I was wrong! Zhao Min is no good, she's a complete slut, a whore! Wife, you're the best, you're a virtuous wife and loving mother. It's all my fault for being blind back then and not realizing how good you are.”
"Get lost!" Xie Qing kicked Su Jingang in the crotch. "You idiot, if you hadn't found out Zhao Jinxuan wasn't your biological son, you'd still be Zhao Min's lapdog. You'd regret it? Do you think I don't know what kind of good person you are?!"
"Get out! Don't ever show your face in front of me again! You deserve to be cuckolded, you deserve to raise someone else's child! Hahaha!"
"I'm dying of laughter, you're going to be so mad!"
After Xie Qing finished speaking, she went into the residential area without looking back.
Su Jingang was left standing there in anguish, taking a swig of wine and then crying for a long time with his mouth open.
