After running for an unknown amount of time, Su Yinwan was left with only one shoe; she didn't know when the other one had fallen off.

She also twisted her left ankle halfway through.

The autumn wind is bleak, and the air is chilly.

Su Yinwan felt no chill at all; her clothes were already soaked with sweat.

Just as she was in despair, a taxi drove up.

Su Yinwan rushed forward recklessly and stopped the taxi.

The driver was so startled by the sudden appearance of the figure that he immediately slammed on the brakes.

The hood of the car almost hit the woman who jumped out in front of it.

Su Yinwan walked around the car to the driver's side and anxiously pounded on the window.

"Master, can you give me a ride?"

But I don't have any money on me. Could you take me to my destination, and then my family will give you the money?

The driver noticed that Su Yinwan's messy hair was mixed with some grass, and her face was covered in dirt.

He also saw that Su Yinwan's right hand was wrapped with a tissue, and a lot of blood had seeped out.

The woman in front of him looked disheveled and frail.

The driver softened and let Su Yinwan sit in the back seat.

"Are you... alright? Do you need me to call the police for you?" The driver looked at Su Yinwan through the rearview mirror and asked with concern.

"No need, Master. Just take me somewhere, thank you." Su Yinwan smiled slightly.

She then told the driver the location of the Rong family's old house.

Soon, the taxi stopped in front of the old house. Su Yinwan told the driver to wait a moment while she went to find someone to pay him the fare.

Su Yinwan limped toward the courtyard.

Madam Rong was in the courtyard instructing the steward, Uncle Lin, on some miscellaneous tasks.

Uncle Lin was facing Su Yinwan. He looked up and saw Su Yinwan covered in injuries, and walked over in surprise.

"Young Madam, what happened to you? How did you get covered in injuries?"

Rong's mother followed and looked at Su Yinwan with heartache, saying, "Wanwan, how did this happen? Did someone bully you?"

Tell Mom I'm going to confront him right now.

This was the first time the Rong family had seen Su Yinwan's embarrassed side, and she couldn't help but feel awkward.

Remembering the driver waiting outside, she gently said to Uncle Lin, "Uncle Lin, could you pay my fare at the door? I took a taxi back, but I don't have any money on me."

Uncle Lin nodded repeatedly and walked towards the door.

At this moment, Grandpa Rong and his father came out.

Both of them felt heartbroken upon seeing Su Yinwan's miserable state.

Grandpa Rong pounded the ground hard with his cane, declaring that he would avenge Su Yinwan.

"Wanwan, tell Grandpa, who dared to bully the Rong family? They don't take us seriously, do they?"

Su Yinwan forced a smile and shook her head, "Grandpa, I'm fine, don't worry."

The observant Rong's mother had already noticed Su Yinwan's right hand hidden behind her back.

She also saw bloodstains on the hem of Su Yinwan's clothes.

Rong's mother stepped forward and took her right hand to examine it; the tissue, already stained with blood, was somewhat dry.

"My God, how much suffering did you endure? Your hands are in this state, and you still wanted to hide it from us."

"Wanwan, you're such a child! Honey, go call the family doctor over quickly."

Rong's mother carefully grasped Su Yinwan's right hand and turned to look at Rong's father anxiously.

After saying that, Rong's mother took Su Yinwan back to her room to tidy up and change into clean clothes.

Then, the family doctor arrived.

He gently removed the tissue from Su Yinwan's right hand; some of it was still stuck to her wound.

The doctor had to use tweezers to carefully remove it little by little, and then disinfect the wound with iodine.

Su Yinwan broke out in a light sweat from the pain.

Seeing the deep cut on Su Yinwan's right hand, displayed so bloodily in front of the Rong family.

Grandpa Rong clasped his hands together on his cane and swayed them, his face full of worry.

Ever since Su Yinwan entered the Rong family, they have doted on and protected her, and they would never allow her to suffer any harm.

Now that his hand is injured like this, how can he explain it to the Su family, and how can he explain it to his old comrades-in-arms?

When Rong's mother saw the wound, she was shocked. Seeing Su Yinwan trembling slightly in pain, she also felt the pain in her own heart.

After all, she treated Su Yinwan like a daughter.

Rong's mother took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the cold sweat from Su Yinwan's forehead, then hugged her in her arms.

A short while later, after disinfecting the wound, the family doctor pulled out sterile gauze from the medicine box and bandaged her right hand.

"Dr. Li, Wanwan has twisted her left ankle. Could you take a look at it?"

Seeing that Dr. Li was about to get up, Rong's mother reminded him.

Dr. Li half-squatted down to examine Su Yinwan's left foot.

"There's nothing seriously wrong. She just needs to apply ice to prevent hematoma and reduce the pain."

I'll apply a hot compress in a couple of days to promote blood circulation, and I'll also get some medicated plasters to apply.

During this period, make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid moving around too much.

Su Yinwan nodded repeatedly.

After treating Su Yinwan's wounds, everyone gathered in the living room.

After Mrs. Rong helped Su Yinwan sit down, Old Master Rong finally spoke.

"Wanwan, now you can tell us what happened?"

"Um... Grandpa, I..." Su Yinwan stammered, trying to figure out how to downplay the seriousness of the matter.

Grandpa Rong thought she had reservations, so he said gently, "Wanwan, don't be afraid, just tell me. I'll back you up."

“Grandpa, Rong Jing has been confining me to Shallow Moon Bay for the past few days.”
