Chapter 215 Lin Xi is no good.
Lu Zhentao saw that the ward door was full of people, and Lu Yunqi was shouting and calling out. He walked over and asked her a question.
The doctors and nurses lined up and made way for Lu Zhentao, and the two bodyguards also stepped back to let him approach.
Lu Zhentao saw Lin Xi first, and his gaze softened. "Lin Xi, why did you get out of bed?"
Before Lin Xi could answer, Lu Yunqi grabbed Lu Zhentao's arm, "Dad, Lin Xi dared to hit me, please help me hit her back."
Lu Zhentao glanced down at Lu Yunqi's left cheek, where there was a red handprint. He didn't even blink, but simply asked, "Why did she hit you?"
“I…” Lu Yunqi stammered for a moment, “She called me ugly first, so I called her back.”
Lu Zhentao raised an eyebrow. "What are you going to say back?"
He was quite curious about what Lu Yunqi had said that would make Lin Xi take action.
Lu Yunqi frowned. What was wrong with her father today? Why did he ask so many questions? Shouldn't he have just called him directly?
Lu Yunqi didn't speak, but Lin Xi spoke up, "Uncle Lu, she said I was born of a father but had no mother to raise me, that I deserve to collect garbage with my grandmother, that I deserve to be slept with by homeless people..."
As Lin Xi spoke, her eyes were already brimming with tears, and her voice trembled with sobs, "Uncle Lu, you know my background. She's just rubbing salt into my wounds."
"Xi Xi," Bai Tiantian said tenderly, wiping away Lin Xi's tears. "She's just jealous of your looks, jealous that you can be with Song Xu. I didn't hear you say she's ugly at all, even though she is indeed quite ugly now."
"Bai Tiantian, who do you think you are, daring to call me ugly?" Lu Yunqi had been sleeping for a month and still didn't know who Bai Tiantian was.
Bai Tiantian snorted, "You're an object, okay? You're not a human being."
"Dad," Lu Yunqi couldn't argue with Bai Tiantian, so she looked at Lu Zhentao with a wronged expression, "I don't want to see those two anymore."
She wanted Lin Xi and Bai Tiantian to both disappear.
Lu Zhentao kept watching Lin Xi through his sunglasses. Seeing his biological daughter cry, his heart ached. "Born of a father but raised by no mother," this vicious curse revealed the bitterness Lin Xi had endured for the past eighteen years.
The daughter was born to him and Zhou Ruolan. He lost her, and Zhou Ruolan was imprisoned by him for eighteen years. It was all his fault.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhentao could no longer control his emotions. He pulled his arm away from Lu Yunqi's hand and slapped Lu Yunqi hard across the face.
Lu Zhentao's handprint completely covered the handprint Lin Xi left on Lu Yunqi's face.
Lu Zhentao used 70% of his strength in that slap. Lu Yunqi couldn't stand up. Her body hit the wall and slid down to the ground.
Blood flowed from Lu Yunqi's nostrils and the corners of her mouth. Lu Yunqi looked at Lu Zhentao in shock, "Dad, why did you hit me? You've never hit me before."
"Blood!" Bai Tiantian suddenly realized something and hurriedly covered Lin Xi's eyes. "Xi Xi, don't look."
But it was too late. Lin Xi saw it, and she began to have trouble breathing. The intense feeling of suffocation made her faint.
"Xi Xi!" Bai Tiantian couldn't support Lin Xi by herself, so she shouted, "Quick, someone come and help me!"
"Is this even going to work?" Bai Tiantian thought to herself. Those nurses and doctors couldn't see that someone had fainted, yet they were just standing there watching the spectacle.
After Bai Tiantian shouted, a figure rushed over and scooped Lin Xi up in his arms. "What happened to Lin Xi?"
Bai Tiantian looked up and was surprised to see Lu Zhentao. "Xixi is afraid of blood. Carry her back to the ward. She'll wake up in a bit."
Lu Zhentao carried Lin Xi and walked quickly towards her ward, with the doctors and nurses following behind.
The once bustling corridor was now empty except for Lu Yunqi, who was slumped on the floor, and two bodyguards.
Lu Yunqi stared at Lu Zhentao's departing figure, carrying Lin Xi, still in a daze.
What exactly happened? What happened during the month she was in a coma? Why would her father care about that bitch Lin Xi?
Lu Yunqi suddenly thought of something, and her eyes widened.
Just as she was making wild guesses, she heard familiar footsteps. Lu Yunqi turned around and saw Lu Yunzhou walking over with an aura of coldness.
"Brother, you've finally come." Lu Yunqi's tears of grievance fell to the ground.
Lu Yunzhou stopped and looked down at Lu Yunqi, his eyes devoid of any emotion, his tone distant, "Who hit you?"
Lu Yunqi's lower lip trembled, "It's Lin Xi and... Dad, they..."
"Where's Lin Xi?" Lu Yunzhou asked the question he was concerned about before Lu Yunqi could finish speaking.
Lu Yunqi was taken aback. She pointed towards Lin Xi's hospital room, "Lin Xi fainted, Dad..."
Upon hearing that Lin Xi had fainted, Lu Yunzhou did not linger and quickly walked towards Lin Xi's ward.
Lu Yunqi's hand froze in mid-air, her face turning pale. Had her brother also succumbed?
How could this happen? Lin Xi was the culprit who caused her to be in a coma for more than a month. How could her father and brother both be concerned about Lin Xi?
Song Xu returned dressed casually, wearing sunglasses and a hat.
His injuries are no longer serious. The broken ribs will take time to heal, but it won't affect his life. He was discharged from the hospital this morning.
He had just been called over by his grandfather for a brainwashing session, but Grandpa Song was still not giving up and was preparing to introduce Song Xu to a girlfriend.
Now that he knows Lin Xi's true identity, he feels much more confident. No one is more worthy of him than Lin Xi.
"Grandpa, if you keep trying to separate Lin Xi and me, I'll elope with Lin Xi," Song Xu declared fiercely. "Our future children will never bear the surname Song!"
You can have the surname Lin, or the surname Lu, or even take your maternal grandmother's surname Zhou.
Fearing he might actually be driven to his death by his own grandson, Old Master Song kicked Song Xu out.
Song Xu then walked back with light steps.
As Song Xu passed by Lu Yunqi's ward, he glanced at the door and saw someone sitting by the wall, which startled him.
He looked closer before recognizing her, "Lu Yunqi?"
Lu Yunqi had a clear handprint on her cheek. Song Xu compared it to his own hand and found it to be quite large, indicating it wasn't Lin Xi's hand that had struck her.
Lu Yunqi recognized the man in front of her from the voice; her eyes lit up. Having learned from her previous experience, she grabbed Song Xu's trouser leg first. "Song Xu?"
Song Xu moved his leg in disgust. "Let go."
"I won't let go," Lu Yunqi said, grabbing her trouser leg with both hands. "Song Xu, are you going to find Lin Xi too?"
The word "also" aroused Song Xu's suspicion. He stopped moving. "Who else came looking for Xixi?"
Lu Yunqi had a long face. "Song Xu, I told you long ago that Lin Xi is no good. Not only did she seduce my brother, but now she's seduce my father too."
