Chapter 62 Chapter 62 You are so pathetic. She came to see you when you were injured...
[My old swan, He Shengnian actually sent the text message to Xu Qinghu!]
[The person he went out with was Qiao Wanshu, and he didn't even give her the basic courtesy. Is he trying to completely cut off his chances with Qiao Wanshu?]
[This shows that he really doesn't like it. I wonder what Qiao Wanshu is still insisting on?]
[In the past, except for You Zhi, everyone else's text messages were sent to Qiao Wanshu. This time, Qiao Wanshu still received more text messages than Xu Qinghu, but she inexplicably felt like she couldn't suppress Xu Qinghu.]
[Emm, I only feel sorry for the others who didn’t receive the text message.]
[Those who support He Xu's couple are in luck, these two are truly meant for each other!]
[Is this the power of a catfish? He directly conquered the most popular man in the room, completely overturning his disadvantage. I have to say he's amazing.]
The internet was full of discussions about the content of the text message, and the crisis facing the program crew was temporarily resolved. The director wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then began to care about the injuries of Qi Song and Xu Qinghu.
A staff member nearby whispered, "Xu Qinghu is not injured. As long as his fever subsides, he can continue with the recording."
"Where's Qi Song?"
The staff member was silent for a few seconds before speaking in a lower voice, "Qi Song suffered comminuted fractures in both legs. Furthermore, he was found relatively late, so he needed steel implants to stabilize the fracture ends. If he doesn't recover well later, wound infection is likely to occur, and joint mobility will be severely impaired..."
The staff said that the result was relatively good. If the situation was not good, Qi Song would face the risk of amputation if he developed osteomyelitis.
This result was completely beyond their expectations. Even if Qi Song had made subjective mistakes, it would still be difficult to deal with.
"Is he awake?" the director asked in a deep voice.
The staff member shook his head and said, "He's still in a coma."
"Call Fang Heng over here," the director said decisively. "And have the legal team get ready. Once Qi Song wakes up, we'll negotiate with him immediately."
The show had finally gotten to this point and was about to become a huge hit, but Qi Song had done something like this. Not to mention how the investors and producers would view this, the director would never let him ruin his hard work.
When Xu Qinghu woke up, it was already bright outside.
She moved her arms and found that her body was sore and painful, and her throat felt like it was being cut by a knife.
"Awake?" A low and pleasant voice came to his ears. Xu Qinghu glanced sideways and saw He Shengnian's angular face.
He didn't know how long he had been guarding. With a slight shadow under his eyes, he asked slowly, "Are you still feeling unwell?"
Xu Qinghu blinked and said pitifully, "...My throat hurts."
He Shengnian raised his hand and touched her forehead. After finding that the high fever had completely subsided, he bent down and helped Xu Qinghu up from the bed. "Eat first, then take the lozenges."
Xu Qinghu nodded. She looked around and found that she and he were the only ones in the ward. She couldn't help but ask, "Where are the others? Have they all gone back to rest?"
He Shengnian took out the cooked millet porridge and eggs from the thermos, set up a small table and placed it in front of Xu Qinghu. "They are in Qi Song's ward."
Speaking of Qi Song, Xu Qinghu's eyelashes drooped, and he couldn't help asking: "How is he? Is he injured?"
As a victim who was tricked by Qi Song into going up the mountain, she had no idea about Qi Song's current situation. She even thought that she was the only one trapped on the mountain and Qi Song had already reunited with the main force.
He Shengnian's face darkened as he placed the peeled eggs into Xu Qinghu's bowl. "His leg is broken."
"What?" Xu Qinghu opened his eyes wide, unable to believe it: "How could it be..."
It was very difficult for her to speak at this moment, but her eyes were full of concern for Qi Song. "Didn't he go down the mountain a long time ago? How did he get a fracture?"
Looking at her bewildered expression, He Shengnian sighed softly, his tone helpless yet doting, "Why are you so stupid?"
Qi Song was clearly lying to her, yet she was still worried about his safety.
"I thought he had left me on the mountain on purpose," Xu Qinghu's eyelashes fluttered as he suddenly realized, "So he must have been in trouble, so he didn't bring the photographer to find me? I misunderstood him."
Hearing this, He Shengnian stuffed the egg into her mouth and said, "He had bad intentions when he left you alone on the mountain."
He looked at Xu Qinghu's slightly pale face, his tone still filled with anger, "If you weren't so lucky, have you ever thought about what you would have encountered?"
Xu Qinghu tilted her head, the aftereffects of a high fever made her look a little dazed.
"Don't go to places like that again," He Shengnian poured the millet porridge into the bowl, "Don't put yourself in danger."
He placed the porridge in front of Xu Qinghu and said, "Eat first."
Seeing his serious expression, Xu Qinghu couldn't help but laugh, looking at him with a smile, "I'm fine, right?"
"You're lucky this time." He Shengnian thought of her unconscious appearance before, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Don't make me worry."
When he carried her down the mountain, even though he appeared calm, he was afraid that she would develop other complications due to the high fever. Only when he was sure that she was fine did his tense nerves finally relax.
Hearing this, Xu Qinghu's eyes suddenly curved. She grabbed the man's sleeve and, under He Shengnian's puzzled gaze, held his big, strong hand tightly.
"Thank you, He Shengnian," she looked at him deeply, her eyes flowing like a gentle river, and said softly: "Thank you for sharing your good luck with me, and thank you for staying with me."
The man lowered his eyes and looked at her. Her hair was now messy and her face was unnaturally pale. She was completely lacking the exquisite beauty she had when they first met. However, he did not seem to think that she was not beautiful at the moment. Instead, more complex emotions arose in his heart that he himself could not explain.
He held Xu Qinghu's hand in return, and looking at her lively and energetic appearance, he seemed to finally feel at ease.
In the afternoon, Xu Qinghu went to Qi Song's ward.
He woke up and negotiated with the production team.
Because he bribed the staff of the program team before the date and deliberately took Xu Qinghu to the wilderness. Even though he is seriously injured now, the program team still has bargaining chips.
Qi Song was stunned when he learned that both of his legs were comminuted fractures and he would have to rest for half a year or even longer after the operation.
He didn't expect that he would be tripped by the vines growing on the roadside when going down the mountain, nor did he expect that the fall would have such serious consequences.
"Our suggestion is that you withdraw from the program now and return home to recuperate. Since you're seriously injured, the production team will not only not hold you responsible, but will also provide you with additional compensation. All you need is that you sign a confidentiality agreement and not disclose your injury to the public..."
Upon learning that he was not only seriously injured but also abandoned by the production team, Qi Song went completely crazy. He looked at the director with red eyes and said with tears in his eyes: "After something like this happened, you actually want to kick me out? You are dreaming!"
"This is a helpless choice," the director said gently, "I know it's hard for you to accept this outcome, but you need to rest in your current condition, and it's not practical to stay in the cabin any longer."
"Why am I injured?" Qi Song's voice was hoarse, and his teeth were about to bleed. "It's because you didn't check the meeting place carefully enough. If there is any accountability, you are more responsible!"
He was already a little out of his mind, with intense anger and fear swirling in his heart. He just wanted to find someone to vent it all on. He laughed in anger and said, "You want to kick me, then let's die together!"
Seeing him rambling and blaming others, the director sighed and said, "If that's the case, then we'll have the production team's legal team negotiate with you."
Then she couldn't help but remind him: "If we really want to hold you accountable, isn't your act of taking advantage of the director's family, who has a seriously ill elderly person, and deliberately bribing him with a large sum of money, more serious than the program team? Furthermore, you deliberately took Xu Qinghu to the mountains where there's no signal. Such behavior is tantamount to murder... The program team is not afraid of taking you to court, they're just afraid that you won't dare."
Looking at the director's cold eyes, Qi Song regained his sanity a little, but he was still unwilling to give in. When he thought of the pain he would suffer after his comminuted fracture, he wanted to kill everyone!
"It's Xu Qinghu!" Qi Song's eyes were filled with hatred when he thought of Xu Qinghu taking his flashlight. "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have come down the mountain in the dark. She's the one who ruined me!"
He looked at his immobile legs, his eyes flickering with strange emotions. "You can ask me to leave, but you can also expel her along with me. Then I'll accept your terms. Otherwise, we'll die together!"
He stared at the director intently. His original target was Xu Qinghu, otherwise he would not have chosen such a date place.
If the program crew is sensible, they will agree to his proposal, otherwise he will turn everything upside down and make life difficult for everyone!
"No." Looking at Qi Song's almost crazy eyes, the director said without hesitation: "Your accident was an accident and has nothing to do with Xu Qinghu. You want to implicate her because of this? It's absolutely impossible."
"She's the one who hurt me!" Qi Song's pupils contracted violently, and he shouted repeatedly: "If you want to favor her, then wait for the show to be suspended!"
Seeing this, the director knew that continuing to negotiate with him would not achieve the result he wanted, so he left the ward without looking back.
Qi Song thought he was considering his proposal, but before he could be happy, he felt a sharp pain in his legs. He grabbed the quilt tightly and screamed softly.
Not long after, the door of the ward was opened again.
Qi Song looked up, thinking he would see someone from the program crew, but it turned out to be an unexpected figure. Seeing that extremely familiar face, Qi Song's pupils contracted sharply, and an undisguised panic appeared on his face.
"dad--"
Before he could finish his words, the man in the black suit strode forward and slapped him twice, angrily saying, "I've taught you for so long, and all you have to do is serve the Qiao family as a dog? You beast! I'll beat you to death!"
The sound of Qi Song crying bitterly soon came from the ward. The arrogance he showed in front of Xu Qinghu and the director was completely gone. Only the sound of begging for mercy and admitting his mistakes remained...
Xu Qinghu pushed open the door of Qi Song's ward and saw him lying on the bed with a pale face. He felt no sympathy at all.
Hearing the voice, Qi Song opened his eyes, and the moment he saw Xu Qinghu, strong disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Why is it you?" He stared at Xu Qinghu coldly. He didn't expect that she could get down the mountain safely in such a dangerous place. He gritted his teeth unwillingly: "Why didn't you die in the mountains!"
"Why do you want to die?" Xu Qinghu stood at the head of the bed, looking down at him. "If anyone is going to die, it should be you! Didn't you almost die like this?"
"You!" Qi Song's mouth trembled. If looks could kill, he would have killed Xu Qinghu countless times. "You did it on purpose. If you hadn't taken my flashlight, how could I have suddenly fallen down?"
"You brought me to the mountains but didn't prepare the flashlight I needed. It's normal for me to ask for it, isn't that normal?" Xu Qinghu looked at him suspiciously, as if he didn't understand why he was still trying to shift the blame. "Because of you, I had a high fever all night, and you still want to blame me? How can that be justified?"
Looking at her lively appearance, Qi Song's eyes seemed to be filled with poison, but he said: "There is no one else here, you don't have to pretend in front of me."
"I should be asking you," Xu Qinghu lowered his eyes and looked at him. "It's clearly your fault, yet you're trying to slander me. Are you recording this? Are you trying to confuse right and wrong and lead netizens to cyberbully me?"
Hearing this, Qi Song's hands under the quilt stiffened. When he saw Xu Qinghu, he was indeed recording. He had not forgotten to help Qiao Wanshu get rid of Xu Qinghu.
He paid such a huge price, but Xu Qinghu was still safe and sound. How could he be willing to accept this?
"I've said before, I envy some people," Xu Qinghu looked at his eyes that were as ferocious as a wild beast, "but I won't pin my hopes on anyone. Just like you, Qiao Wanshu let you bite people like a mad dog, probably hoping you could make a difference. What a pity..."
Xu Qinghu lowered his voice, "You are just so useless."
She looked into Qi Song's eyes and challenged him: "Do you dare to release this recording?"
When Qi Song heard this, his breathing seemed to stagnate, like a bulging balloon being punctured, and his whole body deflated.
But he still had to refute Xu Qinghu, "What I did has nothing to do with Qiao Wanshu, don't try to discredit her."
"If you want to know the truth, you only need to investigate the relationship between your family and the Qiao family and the reason why you participated in the dating show," Xu Qinghu sighed softly. "No matter how much you like someone, you can't fall deeply in love with her in such a short time that you easily give up everything for her."
"Qi Song, I said you were pathetic before, and you really are." Xu Qinghu said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You've liked her for so long, and you don't even have the courage to stand in front of her. You make yourself so embarrassed, but she won't even look at you."
Qi Song's body stiffened and his fingers clenched tightly.
Xu Qinghu said, "She's so smart. When she found out you didn't go home all night, didn't she guess something? But she didn't even think of asking the production team, let alone coming to the hospital to see you."
"You've paid so much, what else could it be but pathetic?"
Xu Qinghu looked into his eyes, sighing and sympathizing: "So you can't blame anyone for your current situation. You deserve it."
