Chapter 25 The Truth



It turns out that Jian Mujin's scar was left when she went to Yuezhong Village. He originally thought that she was able to escape at that time, but unexpectedly, that group of people found her later.

They cruelly murdered her. Jian Mujin's grandfather brought her back, barely alive, her whole body soaked in blood, her condition was very bad.

Jian Mujin's grandfather originally wanted to take her to a large hospital, but her family was poor and had no money, so they could only go to a small clinic recommended by a relative, where the doctor performed surgery on her overnight.

Perhaps the technique wasn't very good; her neck required several layers of stitches, leaving a scar. The wound on her wrist was even worse, as it severed the blood vessels inside. The people then stitched up the blood vessels and the skin.

Because it hadn't healed properly, the wound on her wrist looked like a horrible caterpillar.

Villagers say that Jian Mujin was naughty and mischievous when she was young. The girl who was loved by everyone had fewer friends after that incident. As she grew up, she faced obstacles in going to school, finding a job, and even getting married.

Indeed, according to Grandpa, when he found Jian Mujin, she asked him to find her a partner, but Grandpa introduced himself to her instead.

Long Tingwei returned filled with guilt, finally realizing who had been plotting against Jin'er all along.

How hateful that I was so stupid to believe Ling Yuexue so easily, and to drive Jin'er to this point step by step.

After returning home, he went straight to the hospital. The moment he pushed open the door to the ward, Long Tingwei's eyes were red and swollen. She must hate him to the core now.

Jian Mujin lay quietly on the hospital bed. The doctor had already performed bone-setting surgery on her, and her whole body was wrapped in plaster casts, completely covering her up.

He didn't even know where to begin when he wanted to hug her.

"Jin'er, are you asleep? I won't treat you like that again. Don't be afraid of me or avoid me anymore, okay?"

Long Tingwei's tone was very gentle, with a slight hoarseness. He gently touched her face with his large hand and gave a soft, stiff smile.

Then he slowly moved his hand down, and when he touched the hideous scar, his hand trembled. "It must have hurt a lot back then, right? Does it still hurt here now? Why didn't you tell me when you got our marriage certificate? Did you think I would never believe you?"

Indeed, I never gave you a chance to defend yourself. You suffered injustice in the Long family, and I never stood up for you. But Jin'er, this situation will never happen again. In the next life, I will protect you with my life and never let you suffer even the slightest injustice again, okay?

His response was quiet breathing, and occasionally Jian Mujin could be heard sniffling like a child, sounding aggrieved.

Long Tingwei knew that she had suffered a lot of grievances with him, and that she would even tremble with grievances in her sleep.

He reached out and touched her hand with a pained expression. Both of her hands were in casts. He knew how much force he had used when he broke her fingers, so he didn't dare to move her much. He gently placed his hand on hers and slipped his other hand under her waist, trying to pull her closer to him.

It was as if only in this way could he feel at ease, as if Jian Mujin would not leave him.

Jian Mujin hummed unconsciously in her sleep, and Long Tingwei immediately froze, unsure of what to do to make her feel comfortable.

A nurse came in for rounds and saw Long Tingwei inside. She said sternly, "The patient needs rest. Try not to touch her if you can avoid it, otherwise it will only worsen her condition!"

Long Tingwei was frightened and blamed himself for being too reckless. If he had hurt Jin'er again, he didn't know how he would face her in the future.

He nodded repeatedly and gently withdrew his hand. He wanted to just keep watching her quietly. After getting to know her, Long Tingwei realized that he truly liked her and cared about her, not out of guilt or pity.

"Young Master, this is the divorce agreement you haven't signed yet. Also, Mrs. Long called to say she's a little scared being alone there..."

The Long family's bodyguard suddenly knocked on the door and entered. He didn't know that Long Tingwei already knew the truth. He just thought that since the young master usually cared for and looked after Ling Yuexue so much, he must be very eager to hear news about Ling Yuexue.

The nurse who was taking Jian Mujin's temperature and recording it was stunned when she heard this. "Mrs. Long, is this man Long Tingwei? Then who is this woman in the hospital bed to him?"

Long Tingwei knew that others had misunderstood. He glanced sharply at the bodyguard and said indifferently in a low voice, "Remember from now on, Miss Jian is my wife, Long Tingwei's wife, Mrs. Long for life!"

He took the divorce agreement, tore it to shreds, and then went outside to burn the shredded paper with a lighter.

"I'm giving you one day to thoroughly investigate Ling Yuexue's background, including all the people she's been in close contact with recently!"

The bodyguard was surprised by Long Tingwei's change, and nodded hurriedly upon hearing the order.

Long Tingwei opened his phone, which contained several videos that Ling Yuexue had sent him. These videos showed Jin'er carrying cement, cleaning toilets in a bar, and drinking with people in a bar.

Thinking back to how he made Jin'er go into hiding with huge debts in order to get her to divorce him, I wonder how miserable she must have been back then!

Long Tingwei was filled with remorse and wanted to punch himself twice. When he finally escaped this conspiracy, he realized that he was even more of a bastard than he had thought.

Back in the ward, another patient came in. Long Tingwei thought that it would be better for Yao Jin'er's wound to recover by transferring her to a better hospital, so he arranged for her to be transferred.

They went straight to a luxurious VIP ward in the most prestigious private hospital. He carefully carried her and placed her on a portable hospital bed. He actually wanted to hold her like that for a while, but she had just undergone bone-pinning surgery on one leg and both arms, so she couldn't keep them hanging down for long.

While packing his clothes, he found Jian Mujin's tattered cell phone and remembered that he had actually believed Qiu Yixia when she said that she liked to spend money extravagantly.

With her grandfather as her backer, she can have any amount of money she wants, so why won't she even buy a new cell phone?

He should have seen through their tricks long ago; then Jin'er wouldn't have suffered so much.

He knew that Jin'er and Xiao Wang had a good relationship, so he immediately called Xiao Wang to come and take care of her. Taking this opportunity, he had a new cell phone made, with all the same standard features as the one he was using. The color was gradient pink, while his was gradient blue. The two phones together would make a matching couple's set.

When he got the phone back, he helped her save all the numbers from her old phone into it. There were numbers from her friends, her grandfather, and his. Everyone else had a name, but his wasn't.

Do you not know what to call him?

Long Tingwei tapped his fingertip, typed two words, and then dialed her phone number, but his phone didn't ring for a long time.
