"Are you going to find Tang Zhiyi?" Before Meng Wan could even speak, Lan Xing had already guessed.
"I'm at the coffee shop at the alley entrance."
Meng Wan smiled and said, "I'll be there soon."
The two have known each other since elementary school, so their tacit understanding is self-evident. When Meng Wan arrived, Lan Xing was already waiting for her in the car.
Which hospital?
"Ren'an." Meng Wan put on her helmet and placed her hand on Lan Xing's waist, when the latter twisted the handlebars. The roar of the motorcycle filled the air, and the wind whistled past their ears...
However, at the hospital, another person arrived earlier.
Sun Lu heard the news in the morning and took leave at noon to come over. When she arrived, Tang Zhiyi was throwing a tantrum. There was only Butler Chen in the ward, and no one else.
"Call my dad! Tang Li pushed me down the stairs, he's trying to kill me! Get him out of here right now!"
Fortunately, this was a VIP private room, so Tang Zhiyi's screams didn't disturb the others.
Hearing the sounds coming from inside, Sun Lu did not immediately push the door open and went in, but leaned against the wall and waited quietly for the right moment.
Visiting her in the hospital wasn't her idea; it was her father who asked her to come. According to her father, this was the perfect opportunity to build a good relationship with Tang Zhiyi. If they could run into Tang Sheng, they could also make an impression on him, which would benefit the Sun family's future business.
Although she no longer had any expectations of her father, if he wanted her and her mother to maintain their current wealth and status, otherwise a mistress would be allowed to enter their home, she would have to follow her father's arrangements and befriend Tang Zhiyi.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he planned, Mr. Sun never imagined that the Tang family would have absolutely no interest in their daughter who had been missing for 17 years. Hoping to use Tang Zhiyi to curry favor with the Tang family was simply wishful thinking.
Of course, Sun Lu wouldn't tell her father that he was wasting his time, and that her mother was already collecting evidence of his infidelity. They were just waiting for the right moment so that the two of them could take half of her father's assets and go live abroad!
“Miss, Mr. Tang is busy and doesn’t have time to answer your call right now. The doctor said you only have a fracture and will recover in a month, so you don’t need to worry.” Despite Tang Zhiyi’s outburst, Butler Chen remained remarkably calm.
"Where is Tang Li? Is this just going to be left like this? Don't you need to give me an explanation? This is murder! Murder!"
"Miss, the surveillance footage doesn't show that it was the second young master who pushed you." Butler Chen's face remained expressionless, adopting a purely businesslike demeanor.
"Does the fact that the surveillance footage doesn't show him pushing me mean he didn't? Does that mean I rolled down on my own?!"
Butler Chen remained silent, which only fueled Tang Zhiyi's anger. She grabbed a glass from the bedside table and smashed it at the butler. The glass shattered at his feet, staining his trousers with water. Despite this, Butler Chen did not move.
"Miss, you should rest well. Once the observation period is over, I will send someone to pick you up."
"Let me talk to my dad!"
"The master is busy, Miss, you should rest and recuperate. I'll have someone come in and clean up right away."
The door opened, and Sun Lu straightened up and nodded slightly to Butler Chen, as if to greet him. Butler Chen bowed slightly and stepped aside to let Sun Lu in.
His previously expressionless face turned anxious the moment he stepped inside.
"Zhiyi, are you alright? What... what happened?" Sun Lu glanced at the broken pieces on the ground, looking surprised. She carefully walked around them and sat down on the chair by the bed.
"Lulu? What brings you here?" Tang Zhiyi, who was still fuming, straightened her hair and forced a slightly stiff smile.
"I rushed over as soon as I heard you were in trouble. How are you?"
Just as Tang Zhiyi was about to complain, the housekeeper came in with a cleaner, and they left only after cleaning up the broken pieces on the floor.
The door was locked, and Tang Zhiyi's face fell.
"What's wrong?" Sun Lu looked at her, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Tang Zhiyi's eyes immediately reddened. She held Sun Lu's hand, looking aggrieved. Seeing this, Sun Lu quickly hugged her and gently patted her back to comfort her.
"Don't cry, I'm here. What happened to you? Is it hurting somewhere?" After offering some token comfort, Sun Lu let go of her and handed her a tissue.
Tang Zhiyi clutched the tissue in her hand. "I...I know I'm not as close to them as Meng Wan, but we're family. I just wanted to get along with them, but he...he actually pushed me down the stairs! He's only seven years old, how could he be so vicious!"
"You mean... that Meng Wan instigated Tang Li?" Sun Lu understood Tang Zhiyi's implication.
“I…I don’t know, but he came from my adoptive parents’ house that day, and when he came back…when he came back, he pushed me down the stairs. At that time…I was going downstairs to eat, and I ran into Tang Li at the bottom of the stairs. I greeted him, and he not only had his dog scare me, but also…he pushed me down the stairs!”
Tang Zhiyi's eyes were filled with fear. "I'm lucky this time, I only broke a bone. What about next time? Will I be so lucky next time?"
As she spoke, she gripped Sun Lu's shoulders, her nails digging into Sun Lu's flesh, causing her face to contort for a moment. Despite this, Sun Lu quickly regained her composure.
She grabbed Tang Zhiyi's wrist and pulled her hand away, but her face still showed concern.
“Zhiyi, calm down and don’t be afraid. After all, we have no evidence.” Sun Lu frowned. “Have you told your parents about this?”
"No, the housekeeper won't let me contact my father. I suspect they all look down on me and want Meng Wan back. The servants in the house all ignore me. Lulu, this is clearly my home! Meng Wan has taken everything from me!"
