Chapter 119 The Evil Spirit
Ruan Chuxia's unhappiness immediately disappeared, and a shy smile appeared on her face.
She gently pulled her hand back and whispered, "It's time to remove the needle. Stop it. It might hurt a little, just bear with it."
After saying that, she gently helped him treat the wound after the needle was removed.
Under Ruan Chuxia's careful care, Xiao Zhiyu recovered quickly.
His originally pale face gradually became rosy, and his physical strength also improved significantly. Soon it was time for him to try walking.
The doors and windows of the ward are closed to ensure that no outsiders will disturb them.
Ruan Chuxia half-knelt beside Xiao Zhiyu, carefully holding his legs with both hands, "Do you feel it? Does it hurt?"
Because Xiao Zhiyu injured the nerves near his lower abdomen, this might affect the mobility of his lower limbs, which made Ruan Chuxia very worried.
Xiao Zhiyu frowned slightly, and tried to slowly lift his legs, "Not bad."
He said softly.
"Lift it a little higher."
Ruan Chuxia looked at him seriously, her tone full of concern.
"Okay—" Xiao Zhiyu agreed, trying to lift his legs higher.
"Lift it again."
Ruan Chuxia continued to ask.
Ruan Chuxia was concentrating on carefully examining Xiao Zhiyu's leg movements, hoping to find out what the problem was.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, interrupting their ongoing rehabilitation training.
The two looked at each other and were both stunned.
Didn’t Yuan Chenggang and Guo Yi just come here?
How come someone comes to see them again so soon?
The knocking continued. Ruan Chuxia frowned, stood up and walked quickly to the door to open it.
The moment she opened the door, the person standing at the door was beyond her expectations.
She was surprised and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Cheng Meifang didn't have time to say any polite words to Ruan Chuxia. She had run all the way here and was now panting heavily.
"Xiao Ruan, do you know? Some people say you're a troublemaker. You caused Yu to be childless for the rest of his life. This has spread throughout the family compound!"
"They even said you were a disaster star and almost killed Zhiyu. These gossipers only know how to talk nonsense. It's really too much!"
Cheng Meifang said angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with these rumors.
"They're the only ones who can talk? They talk nonsense all day long, it's so obvious! I think these people are just jealous of our family's better life!"
Cheng Meifang added, her eyes filled with disdain and anger towards those who spread rumors.
Not to mention anything else, since Ruan Chuxia got married, Xiaojun's quality of life has improved significantly, and Xiao Zhiyu's mood has also become much brighter. How could he be the bad person that others say he is?
After hearing this, Ruan Chuxia hadn't fully realized what was happening.
Xiao Zhiyu's face tensed instantly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who was the first to spread this message?"
Cheng Meifang was startled by his cold tone. She had never seen Xiao Zhiyu so stern.
Although Xiao Zhiyu was a very majestic person in the past, he had never lost his temper so much at her, which made Cheng Meifang a little scared.
"Who is it?"
Xiao Zhiyu asked again with a stern face, his brows furrowed.
"This...was first spread by Wang Jiachun."
Cheng Meifang answered stutteringly, twisting her fingers nervously, her eyes wandering around, as if trying hard to recall what had happened.
Hearing this name, Ruan Chuxia's face also turned gloomy.
The name was not unfamiliar to her, and it made her feel disgusted every time she heard it.
Wasn't the lesson she learned last time enough?
How did this woman know about Xiao Zhiyu?
She looked up at the man beside her, "Zhiyu... Could it be that Yuan Shuying..."
Xiao Zhiyu nodded, his expression so serious that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.
Ruan Chuxia bit her lips tightly, with more and more questions in her mind.
Didn’t Village Chief Yuan pat his chest and assure us a few days ago that Yuan Shuying had absolutely not leaked any information?
Why has it suddenly become like this now?
"Xiao Ruan, what are you two talking about? I don't understand..."
Cheng Meifang on the side looked confused and kept looking back and forth between Ruan Chuxia and Xiao Zhiyu, completely unaware of the content of their conversation.
She was discussing Wang Jiachun's matter before, why is Yuan Shuying involved now?
"Sister-in-law, how many people know about Zhiyu now?"
There was a subtle hint of nervousness in Ruan Chuxia's voice.
She was eager to know how many people were affected by this incident and whether it had caused irreversible consequences.
"That?"
Cheng Meifang looked puzzled, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said with sudden enlightenment, "Oh, you mean that thing? No one believed it! Zhi Yu usually looks so strong, how could this happen? I wonder which black-hearted person spread it!"
She said, her hands on her hips, her face filled with anger.
Obviously, Cheng Meifang was very angry about this groundless rumor and even found it difficult to accept.
Seeing that the two people's expressions were not right, Cheng Meifang's face changed instantly, "What do you mean? Did Zhiyu really get into trouble?"
Ruan Chuxia hurriedly denied, "How is that possible! Zhiyu was only injured in the abdomen!"
"What on earth is going on?"
Cheng Meifang frowned, her face full of confusion, "Those people said they were injured because they were saving you."
Ruan Chuxia lowered her head, a trace of guilt on her face, "Actually, what they said is also..."
Before she finished speaking, her voice was already inaudible, and she seemed to feel guilty about her behavior.
"Asha!"
Xiao Zhiyu interrupted her, his tone protective, "Sister-in-law, this is not Axia's fault. Please tell me the names of those who spread the rumors."
That tone made Cheng Meifang's heart tremble suddenly. Her lips trembled slightly and she stammered, "Zhiyu...what are you going to do?"
Xiao Zhiyu did not answer this question, but said firmly, "Sister-in-law, please tell me."
Cheng Meifang had no choice but to say a few names.
Xiao Zhiyu stood there with his eyelids drooping, not speaking for a long time.
"Zhi Yu?"
Ruan Chuxia frowned, not understanding what he was going to do.
Her heart was filled with confusion and worry, and she stared at him intently, hoping to get some explanation.
He pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Axia, I have to be discharged from the hospital today!"
Ruan Chuxia's eyes widened and she instinctively refused: "Absolutely not!"
His wound has just healed and he can't do strenuous exercise. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort to discharge him from the hospital at this time?
What should I do if the wound becomes infected?
She thought silently in her heart, and felt more and more how dangerous this matter was.
Xiao Zhiyu's jawline was tight and his face expressionless, but he had made up his mind.
He said confidently: "I know my body very well and I have met the criteria for discharge."
"Are you the doctor or am I the doctor? I worked so hard to cure you, not to let you ruin yourself!"
Ruan Chuxia's voice rose a few degrees, her tone filled with anxiety and dissatisfaction.
