Chapter 1 Discharge
"The Zhou family's little princess is having such a grand celebration...tsk, tsk, tsk, so many celebrities are coming for her birthday?"
"I was checking Weibo today and saw so many celebrities sending her their well wishes. Furthermore, the Zhou brothers' exorbitantly priced gifts were trending on social media. Did you see that?"
"Of course I saw it! She's the apple of the eye, the one millions of girls dream of becoming. Unlike those imposters here... They're simply hysterical. They don't even know what they are, yet they have the nerve to pretend to be the eldest daughter of the Zhou family!"
The nurses' jeers were getting louder and louder.
Their contemptuous and disdainful gazes fell on the skinny and huddled girl squatting in the corner.
Wen Ning didn't explain or refute, and just quietly filled the medicine box.
This is her job today. She has to make two thousand of them to have food to eat.
If it were three years ago, she would have stood up and solemnly explained that she was the descendant of the Zhou family and the real daughter of a wealthy family.
The little princess of the Zhou family who is on the hot search is a girl adopted by the Zhou family after she was abducted when she was three years old!
He took her old name, lived in the same room she had lived in, celebrated her birthday, and enjoyed the love of the Zhou family.
You are not the fake, the other party is.
But now... forget it.
"Wen Ning, someone from the Zhou family is here. Come out with me." The door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and an overly thin middle-aged doctor wearing gray-framed glasses walked in to announce.
When Wen Ning heard the word "Zhou family", she subconsciously shrank back, and the glue dripped onto her hand due to the pause.
The other patients and nurses also fell silent, looking at Wen Ning in surprise.
The Zhou family, is it the Zhou family that just became a hot topic?
Wen Ning still kept her head down quietly. She wiped the glue off her clothes and stood up.
"Do you remember what to say when you see your family?" the doctor asked her with a smile, his face wrinkled.
Wen Ning's body trembled uncontrollably when he saw the malicious threat in the doctor's triangular eyes.
She quickly lowered her eyes, her thick black eyelashes casting a small green shadow under her eyes, making her look somewhat obedient: "Remember."
"Good boy!" The doctor patted her shoulder with satisfaction.
Wen Ning followed the doctor to the visiting room. The cold white corridor was very quiet.
She had been admitted for treatment of "mental" problems for three years.
In three years, no one from the Zhou family came to see her.
Isn't today the little princess' birthday? Why would someone come over?
Wen Ning walked into the reception room with his head lowered. Amid the greetings between the doctor and the visitor, the first thing he saw was a pair of shiny black leather shoes with pointed toes that looked very sharp.
"Ningning." The person called her, with a hint of surprise in his voice.
Wen Ning slowly raised his head. A golden gem was pinned to his expensive and exquisite dark blue suit, sparkling under the light.
As shining as the gem is the handsome face of the visitor.
Zhou Qingci.
She has a blood-related older brother.
Instantly, anger, resentment, depression, and sadness surged into his heart. Wen Ning clenched his fists and froze in place for a moment.
The doctor turned to look at her, his eyes narrowed slightly, and pointed his finger at her. "Wen Ning, say hello to your brother."
The seemingly gentle voice was actually filled with a chilling oppression, making Wen Ning feel as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
She instinctively shrank back and said in a trembling voice, "Hello, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Qingci's face froze, and he said in disbelief, "What did you call me?"
Wen Ning's eyebrows drooped even more, and he changed his tone: "Mr. Zhou?"
Young Master Zhou, Master Zhou, just refuses to call him "big brother"!
Thinking Wen Ning was resentful and deliberately giving him the cold shoulder, Zhou Qingci was furious. "Today is Yaya's birthday. I gave her her birthday present and then rushed to see you. What's with your attitude? Don't you know how to be grateful?"
What to be grateful for?
Is she grateful that it was she who was framed and drugged, and almost lost her innocence, but Zhou Qingci refused to listen to her explanation and blindly believed that she directed and acted in the incident herself, and labeled her the culprit?
Or are you grateful that Zhou Qingci insisted that she had mental problems and personally locked her up in the sanatorium, a hell on earth?
Wen Ning couldn't think of anything to express her gratitude for, but she moved her lips and ultimately bowed her head in apology, "I'm sorry."
Zhou Qingci's body suddenly froze, and these three words hit his heart hard.
He couldn't believe that Wen Ning, who would rather call the police and go to jail than apologize, actually said sorry to him at this moment.
Are nursing homes really that effective?
Zhou Qingci couldn't help but look at Wen Ning carefully.
The Zhou family members are all very good-looking. Even after being displaced for more than ten years, when Wen Ning was first found, she was still bright and beautiful, and exuded vitality all over her body.
But after only three years in the sanatorium, she had lost a lot of weight, lowered her brows and remained silent, her complexion became sallow and lifeless, like a withered and decadent flower.
Zhou Qingci felt a surge of pity in his heart, and his tone softened a little.
"You don't need to apologize to me, you only need to apologize to Yaya. Three years ago, you made a mistake and not only didn't dare to admit it, you even blamed Yaya. Do you know you were wrong in this matter?"
A hint of mockery flashed in Wen Ning's lowered eyes.
Does it matter whether she is wrong or not?
She has been imprisoned in this hell for three years.
While Wen Ning was silent, Zhou Qingci continued, "Today is Yaya's birthday party. Apologize to her in public and admit your mistake, and I'll take you out."
Hear the word "get out".
Wen Ning's dead heart beat twice, his breathing became rapid, and his dark eyes revealed a hint of paranoid desire, "Really?"
"This, Mr. Zhou, you didn't tell me when you came..." The doctor frowned and said with some displeasure.
Wen Ning's already anxious heart rose to her throat. She opened her eyes wide and stared at Zhou Qingci, a glimmer of hope in her dull and gray eyes.
"What's wrong? Are the discharge procedures difficult?" Zhou Qingci simply thought the other party was reluctant to spend the 100,000 yuan a month in medical expenses. "Is there any trouble?"
"That's not the case. It's just that Wen Ning's condition is still relapsing. I suggest..."
The doctor smiled and was about to explain when the girl's urgent and trembling voice interrupted him.
"I apologize!" Wen Ning lowered his head and acted obedient.
Both of them looked towards her.
The doctor narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sharp gaze shot at her like a cold arrow.
Zhou Qingci was somewhat surprised, yet also a little skeptical, "Are you really willing to apologize?"
"I'm willing. I'll apologize to Zhou Yaya in public and let everyone at the banquet know that I was wrong."
The nails dug into the flesh, causing sharp, bone-chilling pain.
Along with the desire that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time, cold tears could not be restrained from flowing from the corners of my eyes.
Wen Ning's voice trembled slightly, revealing a subtle desire and excitement.
"If necessary, I will kneel down and apologize to her. I will definitely obey her."
