What exactly happened on the night Su Xiaoyue drugged them is probably only known to the three of them, but the atmosphere between them has visibly changed.
The main problem is Huo Ting. He used to be just decadent, but now he's completely despondent. He used to be quite virtuous, but now he's a womanizer.
Xia Xueqing and Su Xiaoyue, one genuinely in love and the other feigning, both remained devoted to him, even humbly comforting him. The former, with her spoiled princess temperament, had even softened considerably, and to earn money for Huo Ting's drinks, she worked as a waitress in a nightclub.
However, the female lead is bound to cause some trouble, and unknowingly, she has gained a high-quality suitor.
Another half month passed, and Su Xiaoyue, hearing the increasingly impatient tone of the person on the other end of the phone, finally spoke up.
She was unwilling, but she couldn't even force things to a conclusion now. If she continued to drag it out, she would please neither side, so she had no choice but to let it go for now.
"Brother Ting, why don't we go back? With the Huo family's resources, they can definitely find the best doctor to examine you."
Huo Ting's face darkened, but he did not immediately refute.
Xia Xueqing was taken aback: "What Huo family? Aren't you orphans? Ah Ting, come back to J City with me. I'll persuade Daddy to get you the best doctor."
She held Huo Ting's hand, tears welling in her eyes, but her face was resolute: "As long as you are alright, even if Daddy wants me to separate from you, I... I can endure it."
Huo Ting made no comment.
Su Xiaoyue rolled her eyes, looking down on her: "People from small places like J City are so ignorant. They don't even know the Huo family. Xia Hongfei is just a local bully at best. He's not even qualified to carry Brother Ting's shoes."
Xia Xueqing looked shocked.
Xia Xueqing of the Huo family in Shanghai naturally knew about it, but she just couldn't connect Huo Ting with that Huo family for the time being. Hearing Su Xiaoyue say this, although she didn't believe it, she still looked at Huo Ting tentatively with doubt in her eyes.
"Ah Ting, you are...you are from the Huo family?"
Huo Ting suddenly shook her off and became agitated: "I'm not a member of the Huo family."
Huo Ting lost control of his strength, and Xia Xueqing fell backward, sprawling off the chair.
This was quite different from the fall in the study of the Xia family villa. The study had a thick carpet, which wasn't the case in the house they rented abroad. Plus, Xia Xueqing's wrist might be made of brittle bones. With a "crack," 001 could hear the sound of her wrist dislocating even through the screen.
Xia Xueqing immediately let out a scream of pain, and then burst into tears.
"Ah Ting, it hurts! My hand hurts so much! Waaaaah! Is my hand broken? Help me! Waaaah..."
Huo Ting's feelings towards the two women were complicated. His slight liking for Xia Xueqing was defeated by his male pride. In addition, he was used to being arrogant and would never admit his mistakes or coax anyone. At that moment, he just looked at her coldly, sneered "pretentious", and slammed the door and left.
Su Xiaoyue glanced disdainfully at her opponent, who was crying her eyes out, then stomped on her shin and snapped her leg.
Su Xiaoyue chased after Huo Ting without looking back.
Xia Xueqing cried out even more miserably, but no one cared about her. She picked up the phone and called Zhou Lie, her former butler who loved her the most, but no one answered. She then called Zhou Xiuyuan, who was very gentle and considerate to her, but still no one answered.
To prevent her from borrowing money from her friends in China, 001 blocked her phone signal. When she tried to call back home, the only person she could get through to was Di Xiu, but Di Xiu was in a meeting and had left his phone in his office drawer.
Xia Xueqing, sobbing, remembered a new acquaintance who had helped her a few days ago when she was being bullied at a nightclub. She found the phone number he had left and called him, ignoring the fact that they had only met twice. She started crying and begging for help, making it seem as if she was already on the verge of death.
001 was speechless, but seeing that Di Xiu was discussing with someone, he could only swallow his complaints.
Speechless. If someone steps on you, wouldn't you struggle? Would you just let her break your leg? Is it so hard for you to kick your leg and make that green tea bitch fall over?
What kind of logic is that? If you need medical attention, call 112 (the emergency number in China). What can you do by calling someone in seven time zones? Can they teleport to your hospital? Why call a stranger you've only met three or four times? Aren't you afraid of inviting trouble? Didn't your dad teach you not to talk to strangers?
Because of numerous phone calls, and because she was too busy crying after finally getting through to the new male supporting character, by the time the young man named Vincent Arnold figured out where she lived and came to take her to the hospital, the doctor regretfully used a lot of medical jargon after the treatment.
Although Xia Xueqing's Mandarin was good, she couldn't understand these professional terms, so Vincent thoughtfully asked the doctor to repeat them in plain language.
Doctor: "Because it has been delayed for a long time, the patient's hand can no longer lift heavy objects, and the leg fracture has suffered secondary injury without being immobilized, which will cause some problems with walking in the future."
001: It's like she's never carried heavy objects before; the heaviest things she probably carries are her bags. But she has trouble walking, hmm…
Xia Xueqing immediately started making a scene: "I don't care, you must heal my hands and legs to be the same as before, or I will complain about you."
Vincent, of course, blindly supported him, and even made personal threats after leaving the house.
Judging from the doctor's expression, he probably wanted to curse.
He had already inquired and learned that more than two hours had passed since the patient was injured and sought medical attention, and the patient's address was only a ten-minute walk from their hospital. Why was he making a fuss over delaying his treatment? Besides, he's an adult; doesn't he know he shouldn't move around too much after a fracture?
But no matter how angry he was, he could sense the threatening intent in the seemingly gentle man's tone. For the sake of his own life, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and go to other doctors to discuss how to help Xia Xueqing recover completely.
001 silently shed a tear of sympathy for the doctor, planning to ask Di Xiu later if there was any way to help him, lest this doctor, who had already become a department head, really suffer a bloody disaster.
In those two hours, he had already found out Vincent Arnold's background.
Vincent is young, handsome, and has an outstanding temperament. He is charming and gentle, and falls in love with the female lead at first sight. He helps her in both of his appearances, making him a typical supporting male character.
It took a little effort to find him because he was using a fake name, and it was only thanks to his handsome face that he was comparable to a celebrity that the corresponding information was found.
Wow, now it's confirmed. This handsome guy with the alias Vincent Arnold and real name Vincent Leonard Wolff is definitely a heavyweight supporting character. His true identity is actually the boss of the number one mafia in D country, a ruthless guy who took over the position by defeating his own father.
001 marveled, "No wonder she's the female lead; she can easily provoke anyone who becomes a big shot."
