At the hospital, Xu Rubao was taken to the emergency room, and Xu Jinnan was very worried.

An hour later, the doctor came out of the emergency room. "The patient had a high fever, almost 40 degrees Celsius. Fortunately, she was brought in in time and has been given an antipyretic injection. However, she still has a lot of bruises on her body. Was she a victim of domestic violence?"

Xu Jinnan didn't know how to explain it. Seeing that the family members seemed to have something difficult to say, the doctor didn't ask any more questions.

Xu Rubao was taken to a ward, and his fever didn't completely subside until the middle of the night. He didn't wake up until dawn.

When she opened her eyes, she saw her grandfather, whose hair had turned white, still standing beside her, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry for making you go through all this trouble."

Xu Jinnan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was awake. "Abao, as long as you're alright, that's all that matters."

"Grandpa, I'm fine. Let Uncle Liu take you home to rest first. Otherwise, I'll be very worried if you get too tired. Don't worry, I promise you, I will be very strong. Even if the sky falls, I won't have any thoughts of suicide."

"Then you eat some porridge first. I'll leave after I see you finish it."

Xu Rubao had no appetite and felt completely drained of energy after the high fever.

She drank two bowls of plain porridge and felt a little better in her stomach.

Xu Jinnan watched her finish breakfast before leaving the hospital to prepare some suitable food for her at home, and then came to see her again at noon.

The doctor said I should stay in the hospital for another day of observation, and I can be discharged tomorrow if there are no problems.

No sooner had Grandpa Xu left the hospital than Xu Ziyang appeared in the ward.

Now that the old man isn't here, Xu Ziyang will be even less polite to her.

“Xu Rubao, you slut, how dare you still live? I’m warning you, don’t talk nonsense to Grandpa, or I’ll be rude to you, and don’t even think about marrying me. I advise you to give up on that idea as soon as possible.”

Xu Rubao paused for a moment, observing Xu Ziyang's expression, her brows furrowing slightly.

She had suspected before that Xu Ziyang might have been behind it. Besides him, she couldn't think of anyone else who hated her so much.

Now, as she stared at him, he looked increasingly guilty, which gave Xu Rubao more certainty.

"Xu Ziyang, was it you who drugged me and brought me to Qiwu Mountain?"

"You...you're talking nonsense! What proof do you have? If you dare to lie to Grandpa, I'll skin you alive. Even if you strip naked in front of me, I won't be interested in you at all. Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror?"

Xu Rubao stared fiercely at Xu Ziyang. If he didn't want to marry her, then so be it. She was also planning to talk to her grandfather about it.

But he was so cruel as to throw her into that godforsaken place, Qiwu Mountain. Did he want her to disappear forever?

"Xu Ziyang, I'm telling you this now, I won't marry you. Stop being so presumptuous. Don't think you're made of gold. Get out of here now. If you say another word, I might change my mind."

Xu Ziyang was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Xu Baguai, who was usually as timid as a steamed bun, would actually have a tough side. It was quite unexpected.

He felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze. "You said it yourself. I'm leaving now. Remember what you said."

As if afraid she would change her mind, Xu Ziyang quickly disappeared from the ward after saying what he had said.

After he left, Xu Rubao took a deep breath, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Even though she knew that Xu Ziyang had drugged her, she couldn't tell her grandfather.

He is, after all, the only grandson of the Xu family, and his grandfather dotes on her so much. If his grandfather found out, it would put him in a difficult position.

In the VIP ward separated by a wall, Lu Jingheng looked at Mo Dong's investigation data, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.

Unexpectedly, the person he was looking for was right beside him, even after searching high and low.

Although I didn't see her in person, I just heard someone call her name, and it was the same as the one in the file.

Moreover, he couldn't be mistaken about her voice.

Looking at the young master's expression, Mo Dong was afraid that he was not satisfied with his investigation results. "Young master, I have investigated as much information as possible about this girl. However, as for her background, all I know is that she was suddenly brought back and adopted by Old Master Xu. I cannot find out who her biological parents are. I'm afraid only Old Master Xu knows who her biological parents are."
