Chapter 6 Good Skills

As soon as Lin Qing finished speaking, the ward became so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Jiang Yanbai stood in front of the bed, tall and stern.

The cuffs of his suit were slightly rolled up, revealing his arms with distinct wrist bones.

He looked down at Gu Miaomiao, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

Lin Qing bit the corner of her lip and clenched the thermos tightly with her fingers.

She lowered her eyes, looking aggrieved and sensible.

"Brother Yanbai, it's okay if the young lady doesn't want to apologize. I really don't mind. This little injury is nothing. You can't let the young lady be sad because of me."

Her voice trembled as she cautiously stole a glance at the man.

Jiang Yanbai snorted coldly, his thin lips curled up in a sarcastic arc.

He turned and stared at Gu Miaomiao, his black eyes unfathomable.

"Do you still think you're the eldest daughter of the Gu family? You can humiliate others however you want? She must give you an explanation for what happened today."

Gu Miaomiao sat leaning against the head of the bed, wrapped tightly in the quilt.

His face was as pale as paper, yet he had a hint of stubbornness and indifference.

She closed her eyes and ignored everyone.

"I'm not wrong. I don't apologize."

When Lin Qing heard this, her shoulders trembled slightly, and two tears hung on her eyelashes, making her look pitiful.

"Brother Yanbai, don't force the young lady. If you bring it up again, she'll definitely hit me again."

She pretended to be weak, but the eyes hidden behind her bangs sparkled with cunning.

Jiang Yanbai's brows were twisted into a knot.

A surge of anger rushed from my chest to my forehead.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Gu Miaomiao's slender wrist, dragged her out of the quilt, and handed her to Lin Qing - his movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation.

"You must return the favor for everything she did to you in the past!"

The force was so strong that Gu Miaomiao almost fell to the ground, and she could only use her other hand to support herself on the edge of the bed. Unwilling to be outdone, she looked back, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes burning with resentment and shame.

She had endured enough of his humiliation over the years, and had also endured enough of these sinister clowns. If it weren't for protecting him, if it weren't for that old pervert's daily threats, she would have revealed all the truth to them long ago!

Lin Qing was startled and subconsciously took two steps back.

The heels of her shoes made a crisp sound when they hit the tiles. She clutched the corner of her clothes and sobbed softly:

“I… I don’t dare…”

Extremely hypocritical.

This woman is best at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

In front of outsiders, he always appears to be timid, innocent and kind, but behind others' backs he is more vicious than anyone else.

When he claimed the credit, he didn't show any hesitation or fear, but now he has learned to act pitiful to gain sympathy?

Jiang Yanbai let go of his hand and threw Gu Miaomiao back to the bed.

He turned to look at Lin Qing, his eyes instantly became much gentler, and his chin slightly raised.

"Don't be afraid. From now on, she won't dare do anything to you again. I remember clearly how hard you've worked for me over the years, and how you secretly sent me medicine every time I was injured."

After saying that, he reached out to smooth out the loose hair on Lin Qing's temples, and deliberately avoided the right hand that had just pulled Gu Miaomiao, as if he disliked it being stained with something dirty.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.

On one side are people who are in a miserable state, covered with scars but still arrogant and aloof.

On one side is the delicate and fragile little pet who is secretly delighted, and on the other side is the big devil who is looking down from above and can decide life and death at any time.

Ridiculous.

Is this what is called justice and grace?

Gu Miaomiao's throat was dry, and she was too lazy to explain a word, let alone beg for mercy or admit her mistake.

I let the malice and misunderstandings surround and swallow me up, and I felt that even the blood in my body was cold and stiff.

If the truth comes out one day, will they still be able to act so confidently?

The rain outside the window gradually stopped, and the wind blew in, dispersing a lot of the smell of the disinfectant.

When Lin Qing heard Jiang Yanbai mention delivering medicine, his expression changed slightly, and then he quickly lowered his head, his voice filled with panic.

"Brother Yanbai, let's not talk about the past. Those pains will eventually heal over time."

She still wants to fool around?

A sneer appeared on Gu Miaomiao's pale lips, and her eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"Lin Qing! Did you put those drugs there?"

Lin Qing's body trembled, and he almost hid himself behind Jiang Yanbai's figure, revealing only a pair of misty eyes. He tightly pinched the corner of his clothes, and his voice trembled.

"Miss, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have secretly given the medicine to Brother Yanbai."

"But you are going too far. He is covered in wounds. I can't bear to see him."

This ability to confuse right and wrong is truly perfect.

Gu Miaomiao laughed out of anger, her chest heaving violently, and her sneer was clearly audible.

"Jiang Yanbai, you wouldn't even believe something like this, would you?"

"How could she, a servant, give you such a good and effective medicine?"

"Her salary is not enough to satisfy her material life. Do you think she can control you?"

Lin Qing didn't wait for Jiang Yanbai to speak, and took the lead. Tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string. Her voice was choked with sobs, but with a determination to fight to the death.

"I'm sorry, Miss. It was indeed me who did it."

"You can punish me or scold me if you want!"

What a great actor.

Gu Miaomiao suddenly threw away the quilt, stepped barefoot on the cold ground, forced her weak body to stand up, and walked towards Lin Qing step by step.

She wants to tear off this woman's mask!

Before she could say anything, her wrist suddenly tightened and Jiang Yan's big hand, like a pair of white iron pliers, grabbed her.

"That's enough! Stop it."

His voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.

Gu Miaomiao felt pain in her wrist, but she stubbornly refused to back down and glared at him.

"Jiang Yanbai! Don't go too far!"

He shook her hand off with such force that she stumbled back a few steps and hit the edge of the bed.

He didn't even look at her again, turned around and grabbed Lin Qing's wrist.

"Let's go."

The door closed in front of Gu Miaomiao, isolating her from everything outside.

As soon as I walked out of the ward, Jiang Yanbai's voice came softly, with a hint of comfort.

"She's used to acting like a clueless young lady. Just keep your distance from her to avoid hurting you."

Lin Qing snuggled up to him, her voice soft and submissive.

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Yanbai."

Jiang Yanbai paused and looked back at Lin Qing.

"There's a meeting at the company, so go back by yourself later."

Lin Qing nodded, lowering her head, carefully suppressing all emotion. Her fingertips tightly grasped the corner of her clothes, her nails almost digging into her palms. After the man left, she stood there motionless, watching his back gradually disappear into the distance at the end of the corridor.

Her palms were cold, and a surge of resentment welled up in her chest. Why? She was the one who understood him best, yet she could only be a clown stand-in, being ordered around.

When the outside of the room became quiet, she returned to the ward. She pushed the door open with extremely light movements, sneaking into Gu Miaomiao's world like a ghost.

Gu Miaomiao sat on the bed, not showing any surprise, and just glanced at her. A sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, even colder and more distant than a rainy night.

"Lin Qing, you not only stole my clothes and bags, but also stole my achievements. You are really capable."
