Chapter 2 Returning Home
Zhou Qingci looked at the tear marks on Wen Ning's face, and vaguely recalled the day four years ago when Wen Ning was first found.
When he held his sister, whom he had finally found, in his arms, Wen Ning also shed tears silently.
He swore at that time that he would make up for all the suffering she had endured while living away from home and pamper her to the skies.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qingci looked at Wen Ning, his voice filled with tenderness, "Okay, I'll take you out."
Wen Ning slowly closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, young master."
The girl's voice was as soft as a mosquito, and Zhou Qingci thought she was calling him "big brother", and he couldn't help but feel happier in his heart.
After three years of treatment in this high-end sanatorium, Wen Ning's eccentricity and rebelliousness were completely changed, and she became a gentle and obedient "young lady" of the Zhou family.
Sending Wen Ning here was indeed the right thing to do, the money was well spent!
After making the decision, Zhou Qingci immediately asked Wen Ning to go back and pack his luggage, while he went to the first floor to complete the discharge procedures.
The doctor stood behind Wen Ning, staring at her with a gloomy look in his eyes. "Wen Ning, congratulations on your discharge."
Wen Ning couldn't help but tremble. He swallowed and spoke carefully, "Thank you, Dr. Wang, for your care over the past three years."
The doctor raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Don't be so quick to thank me. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Wen Ning didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a moment.
But when she went downstairs to find Zhou Qingci with a thin, worn canvas bag, the director of the sanatorium was kindly handing a bag of things to Zhou Qingci.
Seeing Wen Ning coming over, the dean smiled even more.
"Although Wen Ning's condition has improved a lot, she still loses control of her emotions occasionally. When this happens, give her a sedative to calm her down."
"If you still can't calm down, call us. The nursing home is responsible for every patient's life."
Wen Ning's steps suddenly froze.
Zhou Qingci took the sedative with one hand and shook hands tightly with the dean with the other.
"Thank you very much for your treatment of my sister over the past three years. I'm sorry to bother you." Seeing Wen Ning hesitating on the stairs, Zhou Qingci waved, "Ningning, come here and thank the director."
A disgusting smile showing yellow teeth, greasy fat hands, a sharp needle dripping with liquid medicine, a cold, gray electric shock platform...
Scenes flashed through Wen Ning's mind quickly. She closed her eyes and walked out quickly, almost as if she was escaping.
It was not until she walked out of the door unhindered and was scorched by the sunlight outside that she realized that after three years, she was finally out.
Zhou Qingci followed out somewhat displeased. He pressed the car key and a luxurious dark blue McLaren beeped.
Wen Ning lowered his head, walked around the passenger seat and opened the back door.
Just as she was about to step in, Zhou Qingci suddenly stopped her.
"Wen Ning, who are you giving a cold shoulder to?!"
"I just asked you to thank the dean, but you pretended not to hear me and walked out silently, deliberately embarrassing me!"
"Now you're deliberately not sitting in the passenger seat. What's going on? Are you treating me like a driver?"
Wen Ning was stunned for a moment, then said in a self-deprecating voice, "Your co-pilot seat is reserved for Zhou Yaya, I'm not worthy of it."
At that time, she had just returned from the countryside and did not understand the difference between the passenger seat and the back seat.
Zhou Qingci saw the two of them out. Zhou Yaya took her to the garage first and asked her to sit in the front, and she sat in the passenger seat.
When Zhou Qingci came over and saw her sitting steadily in the passenger seat while Zhou Yaya was standing helplessly outside the car, he immediately became angry and scolded her for being ignorant and short-sighted, and for stealing Yaya's exclusive passenger seat that had belonged to her for so many years.
They dragged her out of the car in a tough manner and forced her to apologize to Zhou Yaya.
Zhou Qingci also thought of what happened four years ago, but his brows furrowed even more tightly, and he looked at Wen Ning with impatience.
"Yaya is carsick and can only sit in the front. You're her older sister, so what's wrong with giving in to her? It's just a trivial matter, why are you still holding a grudge against me?"
Wen Ning lowered his eyelashes, his dry voice sounding relieved and relieved, "I'm just letting her."
Zhou Qingci looked at Wen Ning coldly. Was this humble and submissive look what he wanted to see?
No, not at all!
He wanted her to be gentle, well-behaved, obedient and sensible, stick to him and call him big brother like before, but not bully Yaya's good sister all day long.
Not like now, Wen Ning who only keeps his head down and looks docile.
A surge of rage suddenly welled up in his heart, and he suddenly opened the passenger door and pulled the person forward.
"Sit down! Wen Ning, if you're feeling unhappy, just go back to the sanatorium and continue your treatment."
Wen Ning didn't understand why Zhou Qingci was so angry again, but she absolutely didn't want to go back to that hell.
She let out a light breath and was about to admit her mistake again when Zhou Qingci's phone rang.
Zhou Qingci glanced at the incoming call, his brows relaxed, and he answered the phone in a gentle voice: "Hello, Yaya."
Hearing the familiar name, veins began to appear on the back of Wen Ning's bony, pale hands.
The scenes from three years ago flashed through her mind, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.
I don't know how long it took before Zhou Qingci hung up the phone. He put away his smile and said in a cold voice:
"Three years ago, you framed Yaya like that, but she didn't hold any grudge against you at all. On the contrary, she was thinking about you everywhere. She even called just now to check on you. Have you been discharged from the hospital?"
"Knowing that you said you wanted to apologize to her in public, she was afraid that you would feel embarrassed and even cried. She kept saying that as long as you were willing to go home, she didn't need any apology."
"Wen Ning, can you please be more sensible like Yaya?"
As long as she is willing to go home?
Zhou Ya is probably the one who is most reluctant to let her go back.
Wen Ning lowered his head, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Walking in silence all the way back to the Zhou family mansion, they could see from afar the villa nestled on the hillside, covered in flowers and colorful balloons flying high.
McLaren drove in through the back door.
Zhou Qingci explained in a cold voice: "Today is Yaya's birthday, a happy day. You just got out of the hospital and you have bad luck, so don't go through the main entrance."
Wen Ning was already used to this kind of treatment and didn't react much. "Then when should I apologize to her?"
Zhou Qingci looked at the time. Shen Xufeng was planning to propose to Yaya today.
Thinking of the engagement dispute between Wen Ning and Shen Xufeng.
Zhou Qingci felt that it would be better to let Wen Ning witness their proposal ceremony in person, to prevent her from still having evil intentions and wanting to be a mistress and destroy the relationship between Yaya and Xufeng.
Sometimes, he really couldn't understand why, even though it was Wen Ning who had been engaged to Shen Xufeng as a child, it was Yaya who had been their childhood sweetheart for over a decade, so why did Wen Ning think that she was more suitable to be Mrs. Shen than Yaya? And he did everything he could to get her to do so.
This incident was also one of the reasons why the Zhou family felt that Wen Ning needed to go for "recuperation".
"Let's go now." After thinking it through, Zhou Qingci did not delay and directly led people to the banquet venue.
"Dad's flight was delayed and he couldn't get a private jet, so he hasn't come back yet. Let me tell the others first." Zhou Qingci asked her to wait here for a while. After all, it was his last-minute decision to take Wen Ning out of the hospital.
Wen Ning stood quietly, drinking and chatting. The glamorous scene was out of place for her in a white T-shirt and gray pants.
She and the Zhou family are completely from two different worlds.
"Who is that? Why is he dressed worse than the waiter? How did he get in?"
"Don't you need an invitation to come in?"
Some people were whispering and guessing, but they couldn't guess it.
A curious and outgoing wealthy lady waved: "Hey! Little beauty, are you a waitress? Come over here!"
Wen Ning was hesitating whether to go over.
A figure suddenly rushed over, grabbed her wrist fiercely and dragged her away.
"That was... the second son of the Zhou family?"
