Gu Qingyan, who was standing closer to the door, changed his expression drastically. He immediately turned around, unlocked the door, and rushed inside. Lin Su quickly followed.
The scene inside sent chills down their spines.
Xiao Wanqing held a fruit knife to Zhang Ma's neck in her right hand, her long hair disheveled, her eyes unfocused, and she seemed to be in a state of madness.
Gu Qingyan called her name softly, "Wanqing, please calm down and put the knife down, okay?"
"I don't want to! You all want to harm me, you're all forcing me!" Xiao Wanqing's trembling hand then slashed Zhang Ma's neck, and blood began to seep out little by little. Zhang Ma looked terrified and dared not make a sound.
Afraid that she would hurt Zhang Ma again, Gu Qingyan quickly said, "Wanqing, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for not making things clear from the beginning. But please don't hurt Zhang Ma; she watched you grow up!"
"So what? My life is already ruined, I don't care about anything anymore. I don't want to live anyway, so it's fine if she comes along and becomes my scapegoat. That way, I won't be lonely when I die, and she can continue to take care of me," Xiao Wanqing shouted through gritted teeth.
Zhang Ma's face contorted in pain. Gu Qingyan's heart tightened, and he wanted to step forward and snatch it by force, but Lin Su immediately stopped him, signaling with her eyes that she should do it herself.
Lin Su tentatively took a step forward, looking at Xiao Wanqing with tender eyes, and said softly, "Wanqing, let's go back to Country A together, okay? Let's pretend that none of this ever happened, okay?"
Upon hearing Lin Su mention returning to Country A, a glimmer of light flashed in Xiao Wanqing's eyes, but it was fleeting, and her expression instantly turned sorrowful again. "It's impossible. We can never go back to the past."
"Miss Xiao, just listen to Mr. Lin, he truly loves you!" Seeing this, Aunt Zhang also spoke up to persuade her.
"What do you know? Sincere? Sincere...? Hahahahahaha!" Xiao Wanqing kept repeating Zhang Ma's words, then suddenly burst into laughter, saying self-deprecatingly, "What is sincerity? Does sincerity never change? Wasn't Gu Qingyan sincere to me before? Didn't he change too? Hahahahahahahaha. They're all just liars!"
As Xiao Wanqing spoke, she lost control of her emotions. She pressed the knife down hard, leaving another bloody mark on Zhang Ma's neck.
Zhang Ma was terrified and dared not speak again.
"Wanqing, let's get married! If you're willing, let's go back to Country A and register our marriage right away, okay? You said you wanted to take wedding photos in Lisbon before, and you said you really liked that little yellow tram. How about we take photos of the tram there, and then go to Cabo da Roca, with the wooden fence behind us and the blue sea as a backdrop, and take another set of wedding photos, okay?"
"I've already chosen several wedding dresses, and I even went to the location to scout it out while you were back in China. I also contacted a photographer to take photos. I wanted to surprise you. I'll show you now, okay?" Lin Su said, her eyes red, as she frantically pulled out her phone and searched through her notes, almost pleading.
"Marriage?" Xiao Wanqing's eyes became uncertain. Lin Su's words stirred her emotions. She had once said these things to him after drinking, full of longing. But at that time, the person she was looking forward to was Gu Qingyan.
Xiao Wanqing felt as if her heart had been stabbed hard with a needle. She never expected that Lin Su would remember everything she had mentioned so once.
"Wanqing, look, I've already made an appointment with the photographer for a month from now. If you want to change the time, we can go at another time, okay?" Lin Su held up his phone, anxiously trying to show her his chat history with the photographer to prove that he was serious about marrying her. He begged her to put down the knife first.
Xiao Wanqing glanced at her phone and saw the chat history where Lin Su excitedly made an appointment with the photographer to take wedding photos. Even through the screen, she could feel Lin Su's joy at the prospect of walking down the aisle with the person she loved.
She was slightly stunned, staring blankly at the phone screen, and unconsciously loosened her grip on Zhang Ma's hand a little.
Seeing this, Gu Qingyan seized the opportunity when the knife tip was pointing outwards, grabbed Xiao Wanqing's wrist, and pulled her towards him. Seeing that the knife was no longer at her neck, Zhang Ma quickly ran away. Xiao Wanqing, regaining her senses, was furious and struggled violently, brandishing the knife and trying to break free.
Lin Su's pupils constricted as she watched the knife swinging wildly in the air, fearing that Xiao Wanqing might accidentally hurt herself. So she quickly stepped forward to help and tried to take the knife from Xiao Wanqing's hand.
Before anyone could see exactly what happened, Lin Su fell backward, his head hitting the marble floor hard. All the color drained from his face. He clutched his abdomen with his right hand, blood flowing from the wound and gradually soaking his clothes. He glanced at Xiao Wanqing with concern, clenching his teeth to suppress a groan.
"Lin Su!" Xiao Wanqing woke up with a start, seeing blood dripping from the knife in her hand. She dropped the knife in terror and rushed towards Lin Su.
Lin Su lay on the ground, forcing a smile as she tried to comfort the panicked Xiao Wanqing, "Wanqing, I'm fine, don't worry."
Xiao Wanqing collapsed to the ground in a disheveled state, frantically pounding her hands on herself, tears streaming down her face.
Upon hearing Lin Su's words, she suddenly threw herself onto Lin Su and cried hysterically.
In a daze, she felt herself being suddenly pulled up, and then it was all fragmented memories—
"Doctor, help!"
"Get him to the emergency room! Quickly!"
"The patient has lost too much blood and is in shock!"
