Xu Rubao hadn't recovered yet, and just nodded blankly.
The room was quiet, eerily quiet.
She still felt completely unsafe, fearing that the door would be opened at any moment and someone would force their way in to examine her.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. She quickly opened the wardrobe, grabbed another set of clothes, ran into the bathroom, and locked the door.
She was still worried, so she checked the door lock twice before hurriedly getting dressed.
Even though she was still wearing clothes, she still felt like she was naked.
That feeling was worse than death; it was as if her dignity had been trampled on the ground.
After Xu Jinnan went out, he stayed at the door, afraid that she might do something rash.
She was born into nobility and could have had a good life, but because of a birthmark on her face, she was considered unlucky and destined to bring misfortune to her family, and was abandoned while still an infant.
If he hadn't been a good swimmer, she probably would have drowned in that river.
Of course, he wouldn't believe that Ru Bao was his nemesis.
Therefore, when he brought her back to the Xu family, he decided to do everything he could to ensure her healthy growth.
He had taken her to the hospital to see about the birthmark on her face, hoping to have it removed, but the pigment was so deep that even surgery couldn't completely remove it and there were certain risks involved.
For her safety, Xu Jinnan abandoned the idea.
Now that something like this has happened to Ru Bao, although he is very anxious, he cannot add any more pressure to her.
Xu Jinnan watched as ten minutes passed. He dared not wait any longer and knocked on the door. "Abao, open the door first. Grandpa will definitely stand up for you..."
Xu Rubao, who was in the room, had already changed her clothes.
Hearing her grandfather's anxious voice, she went over and opened the door. "Grandpa, don't worry, I will never take my own life."
Everyone says she has a tough life. She feels that although she was abandoned by her closest relatives early on, she still has her grandfather.
At the very least, she would never let her grandfather, who had raised her with such kindness, bury his child.
Hearing her words, Xu Jinnan's eyes reddened slightly. "Good child, it's all Grandpa's fault for not protecting you. Can you tell Grandpa what happened last night?"
Xu Rubao pursed her lips. She didn't want her grandfather to know what had happened at Qiwu Mountain, the mysterious man, and that terrifying night.
She always felt that the mysterious man was not someone to be trifled with, and she didn't want her grandfather to take any more risks for her sake.
"Grandpa, can you please stop asking? Just pretend nothing happened, please don't pursue this anymore, I..."
Xu Rubao was so angry that she fainted before she could even speak.
Xu Jinnan saw her faint and quickly helped her up; her forehead was burning hot.
"Abao, what's wrong with you? Abao... Abao..." Xu Jinnan hurriedly took Rubao to the hospital.
Xia Lanying was still in the living room. Seeing the old man's anxious look, she couldn't help but ask, "Is he going to die?"
Just now, because of that bastard child, she got slapped by that stinking old man for nothing.
Xu Ziyang was startled. He hadn't actually wanted her dead; he just wanted her to stay away from him.
He couldn't help but feel a little nervous, in case this matter came to light.
"Grandma, if Xu Rubao dies, do you think Grandpa will hold me accountable?"
"No, he only said that to intimidate other outsiders and prevent this matter from getting out and tarnishing her reputation. As for us, your grandfather wouldn't really dare to take action; at most, he'd just punish us. As long as he doesn't force you to marry her, I won't pursue this matter any further. I don't care how many people she's slept with."
Hearing his grandmother's analysis, Xu Ziyang finally felt a little more at ease.
He is, after all, his grandfather's own grandson, so his grandfather probably wouldn't really do anything to him.
The thought of how protective her grandfather was of her made Xu Ziyang angry.
He was determined to make her give up on the idea of marrying him, to stop her from dreaming that she was a "broken shoe" and still had any hope of marrying him.
