Shanghai First People's Hospital.
Because Tang Ning's arm wound was so deep, and she had lost too much blood, she had already fainted after being taken to the emergency room by ambulance. Her face was almost transparently white due to the excruciating pain and blood loss. Even so, her right hand never let go of Mu Sheng's sleeve the whole way. It wasn't until she was about to be taken into the operating room, and urged by the nurses, that Mu Sheng forcefully pulled his sleeve out.
"School doctor...sir..."
The moment he pulled her out, he suddenly heard Tang Ning, who was already unconscious, murmur this unconsciously.
Upon hearing such a voice, Mu Sheng felt as if his heart had been gently stung by something.
Even though he knew that as long as the wound was stitched up and he got a tetanus shot, there wouldn't be any major problems, Mu Sheng still couldn't control the slight pain spreading in his heart.
He subconsciously reached out and pressed his hand to his chest. He simply couldn't believe that he would have such feelings for a strange girl who was so young.
Tang Ning...
Had he spent too much time and energy on her? His curiosity was satisfied, but did he really want a passionate... romance with her? He loathed anything that would make him lose his composure and rationality. After all, someone like him, once he lost his vigilance and composure, might not even know how he died.
Thinking of this, Mu Sheng lowered his eyes, but after a moment, when he opened them again and looked at the closed operating room in front of him, there was only calmness in his eyes.
He silently walked to a bench and sat down.
Not far from the bench, sitting close to the wall on the cold floor of the hospital corridor, who else could it be but Jiang Yao?
The boy, covered in blood with drops even splattered on his cheeks, stared blankly at the red light on the operating room door. His mind was completely blank; apart from Tang Ning, he couldn't think of anyone or anything else.
He just wanted her to come out safe and sound.
I ask for nothing more.
Standing just a few meters away from Jiang Yao was Yin Yuqing, who was looking at him with concern.
No one knew that beneath the short-haired girl's worried eyes lay a deep sense of panic, confusion, and fear.
She didn't understand. How could things suddenly turn out like this? Why did a crazy person with a knife suddenly appear in Dream Valley, and why did A Yao and Tang Ning have to run into him? And it was one thing to run into him, but Tang Ning... she actually took the knife for A Yao without even hesitating.
Why? Why did she do that? She clearly doesn't like Yao anymore, does she? Clearly... why did she risk her life to save him?!
Now, Yin Yuqing felt that all her previous smugness and her warning to Jiang Yao had become a huge joke.
The scales in A Yao's heart had already begun to tip towards Tang Ning, and this would only make him lean more and more towards Tang Ning until... there was no place for her left in his heart.
The mere thought of such a possibility made Yin Yuqing's heart clench uncontrollably, and her hands hanging at her sides trembled slightly.
No, she didn't want that there was no place for her in A Yao's heart anymore.
He was the first person she had ever liked in her life. From the moment she entered Jinsheng, she spotted him in the crowd. He was so tall and handsome, and his smile was a hundred times brighter than the September sun. In just one glance, she fell in love with him.
God knows how happy she was when she found out her roommate was Jiang Yao after she entered the dormitory!
She gradually infiltrated his life, slowly softening his attitude towards her, and even... even began to develop feelings for her.
She's liked him for so long, and worked so hard for him for so long, she won't give up!
Absolutely not!
Thinking of this, Yin Yuqing took a deep breath, trying to make her expression as natural as possible, and walked towards Jiang Yao in front of her.
"Ah Yao, the ground is cold. Why don't you get up and sit on that chair over there? I know you're worried about Tang Ning, but you should also take care of your own health..."
Yin Yuqing gently advised him.
"roll."
Upon hearing her voice, Jiang Yao replied without even looking up.
The word "get lost" completely froze Yin Yuqing's smile on her face.
"Ah Yao, I... I was just worried about you... and these bloodstains on you need to be cleaned up, otherwise..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yao, who had been sitting on the ground leaning against the wall, finally stood up unsteadily and started walking forward.
Before Yin Yuqing's surprise could fully bloom, she saw Jiang Yao walk past the bench and head straight for the stairs.
"Ah Yao, where are you going? Wait for me, I'm coming with you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yao suddenly stopped, then swiftly turned around, grabbed Yin Yuqing's cheek, and slammed her against the wall behind them. In his anger, the young man didn't know his own strength and pressed Yin Yuqing's head so hard that it hit the wall with a thud.
But at this moment, she could no longer care about the pain from the impact. She just looked in horror at Jiang Yao's dark eyes, which were filled with impatience, which were very close to her.
"Are you deaf or not? I told you to get lost, don't you understand? Do I need you to remind me to take care of myself? Did I tell you to follow me? Did I ask you to meddle in my business? Who the hell are you to me? Just a classmate I've known for half a year, don't you think too highly of yourself? Now, I'll say it again, listen to me, don't come near me, don't presumptuously care about me, don't point fingers at me anymore, get as far away as you can, understand?"
On one hand, he was worried about Tang Ning's injury, and on the other hand, he was really annoyed by all of Yin Yuqing's self-righteousness. From deliberately coming to Dream Valley with him, to insisting on sitting next to him, to deliberately sowing discord between him and Tang Ning, he was now completely fed up with her. So the moment he heard Yin Yuqing speak, an inexplicable anger surged up in his heart.
Who was she to him? Nothing at all!
After saying that, Jiang Yao pulled his hand back without hesitation and turned to walk towards the stairwell.
Yin Yuqing, standing against the wall, felt the pain in the back of her head and face, her eyes glazed over, and large tears fell down her cheeks.
Jiang Yao, who had walked to the stairwell, waited for a long time before finally taking out his phone and dialing Tang Qing's number.
“Aunt Tang, it’s me. Ningning… Ningning is injured. She’s in the operating room trying to save me. Um, I’ll wait for you to come…”
As soon as he hung up the phone, Jiang Yao raised his hand and slammed it hard against the wall in front of him, his eyes instantly turning red.
So, what exactly has he done in the past six months?
Why did he treat Ningning like that? They had been together for ten years, a full ten years! He used to love her so much, he wanted to be with her all the time. He said he would marry her and they would stay together forever, until their hair turned white and their teeth fell out, he would still hold her hand tightly and never let go.
He clearly made that promise.
But what has he done in the past six months since he came to Jinsheng? Because of Yin Yuqing, he has been sending less and less messages to Ningning, gradually losing contact with her. He even took the initiative to break off their engagement. How heartbroken Ningning must have been at that time. But after the heartbreak, she still came to Jinsheng for him, and even took the initiative to propose a final three months of dating in order to win him back.
She was his girlfriend, his fiancée, yet she had to resort to such methods to get closer to him.
She approached him again and again, made him lunchboxes, and even though her leg was injured, she still danced "White Snow." At the moment the knife was about to fall, she didn't hesitate to stand in front of him and is still lying in the operating room now...
Jiang Yao clenched his fists tightly, closed his eyes, and a tear slid down his cheek.
Ningning, Ningning, Ningning...
I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry...
He was wrong!
Jiang Yao hid in the stairwell for an unknown amount of time before his phone finally rang again. After answering the call, he rushed towards the operating room.
As soon as they arrived, they saw his mother, Tang Qing, and other close aunts. As soon as they saw Tang Ning's hospital bed being wheeled out of the operating room, they rushed over.
"Oh dear, Ningning, doctor, is my daughter-in-law's injury serious? It shouldn't affect her daily life in the future, right?"
Jiang's mother asked this question immediately.
"It's not serious, no vital organs were injured, the suturing was very successful, and it won't affect your daily life in the future."
"That's good, that's good. Tang Qing, did you hear that? Don't be sad. Our Ningning is a lucky person. It's alright now!"
Jiang's mother quickly comforted her.
It can be said that Jiang's mother used to look down on Tang Ning because of her background, even though she didn't say it. How could a stepchild like Tang Ning compare to those real young ladies from wealthy families? But her silly son insisted on getting engaged to her. For a while, she felt uncomfortable all over whenever she saw Tang Ning. She thought Tang Ning was petty, timid, and unpresentable.
But later, Tang Ning changed. Not only did she become more and more outstanding, but she also learned everything very quickly. Her speech, etiquette, special skills, and so on were all impressive. At every gathering, she would hear the other ladies praising Tang Ning so much that her ears would grow calluses. She liked Tang Ning more and more, and even included Tang Qing in their circle. She had sighed to her husband more than once that Ah Yao was really good at choosing a girl who was so beautiful, sensible, and outstanding since childhood. It was definitely the best decision he had ever made.
But recently, Jiang's mother has another worry, simply because her son wants to break off his engagement with Tang Ning, the daughter-in-law she has chosen. Upon hearing this from Jiang Yao, Jiang's mother felt her blood pressure spike.
She was in a hurry to ask Tang Qing out to explain things, but Tang Qing had been busy following Lao Ye around lately. She had finally managed to get a chance to ask her out today, but who would have thought that something like this would happen!
As Tang Ning's hospital bed was being pushed further and further away, Jiang's mother reached out and grabbed Jiang Yao's arm, who wanted to follow. "Come with me."
She said this with a cold expression.
Seeing his mother's serious expression, Jiang Yao, despite being worried about Tang Ning, followed her to the side.
Meanwhile, Yin Yuqing noticed Jiang Yao leaving and subconsciously followed him.
Just as I reached the corner, I immediately heard a woman's stern reprimanding voice—
“Ah Yao, let me make this clear to you right here and now. My daughter-in-law is Ningning; she's the only one I'll ever have. Nobody else, no matter who they are, wants to enter the Jiang family. Ningning is such a wonderful girl; she loves you so much. Today, she even took a knife for you. Ah Yao, if you have any conscience, you can't let her down in this lifetime, you understand? If you ever dare mention breaking off the engagement again, I'll interrupt you…”
"No, Mom, I won't do it again. I know I was wrong before, I'm sorry to Ningning. I will never do it again. I will only recognize Ningning as my wife for the rest of my life."
Jiang Yao said this, emphasizing each word.
"Ah Yao, it's good that you've come to your senses. There's no girl in this world better than Ningning. Trust me, I'm a good judge of character! Be good, stay with Ningning from now on, okay?"
Jiang's mother could finally rest easy.
"Um!"
Jiang Yao nodded vigorously.
On the other side, Yin Yuqing bit her arm hard, trying her best not to cry out.
That's it. She has no chance anymore. She has nothing left.
Tang Ning has won a resounding victory; she has no more...
With tears blurring her vision and filled with despair, Yin Yuqing cried and then, as if suddenly remembering something, she abruptly raised her eyes.
No, she hasn't lost yet, she still has a chance!
She wiped away her tears forcefully, then immediately began searching the hospital, eventually spotting Mu Sheng in front of a vending machine, where he had just bought a cup of coffee.
She couldn't salvage things with A Yao anymore, but what if... Tang Ning took the initiative to turn to someone else?
If she herself doesn't want to be with A-Yao, can Jiang Yao force her?
Thinking of this, she looked intently at Mu Sheng in front of her.
The man clearly saw her, but acted as if he hadn't seen anything and walked past her.
"Dr. Mu, only you can help me now. Please, please help me, okay?"
"Help you?"
Mu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
Yin Yuqing immediately ran to him, "Yes, help me! I know Tang Ning has always liked you, you know that too, right? This time you saved her from that lunatic's knife, she'll definitely like you even more. As long as you're willing to pursue her, she'll definitely be with you. As long as she's with you, A Yao won't have a chance, he'll definitely see me. Help me, Dr. Mu, I beg you to help me, I have no other chance, I really have no other choice but to beg you... Now only you can help me!"
She kept saying this with red eyes.
Looking at Yin Yuqing like this, Mu Sheng held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. The more he laughed, the more uncontrollable it became.
After he finally finished laughing, he revealed a thoughtful expression, "Your suggestion is indeed good..."
Before Yin Yuqing's eyes could even light up, Mu Sheng looked at her again with a malicious and sarcastic tone, "But why should I sacrifice myself just to please you? Who do you think you are?"
After saying that, Mu Sheng crushed the coffee can in his hand, threw it directly into the trash can on the side without even looking at it, and turned around and walked away.
"You must grant my wish!"
Yin Yuqing's cold voice suddenly rang out behind Mu Sheng.
“My brother was hit and killed by that car while saving your niece. I lost my last family member because of this. You owe me this, and you must help me!”
Upon hearing this, Mu Sheng immediately stopped in his tracks.
His cold gaze swept over Yin Yuqing, whose eyes were dark and unsettling.
Despite her trembling heart, she forced herself to meet Mu Sheng's gaze.
"After I help you this time, we'll call it even. You won't owe me anything anymore, and you won't owe my brother anything either, okay?"
Yin Yuqing clenched her fists and said this.
Mu Sheng just kept staring at her, and after what seemed like an eternity, he finally managed a slight smile.
"make a deal."
After uttering those two words, Mu Sheng walked straight out of the hospital.
Only after his figure completely disappeared from her sight did Yin Yuqing finally stagger a few steps in fear, grabbing the wall beside her to steady herself.
At the same time, just after waking up, Tang Ning saw such a wonderful scene in the broadcast on 54088, and she also raised the corners of her mouth.
It has to be admitted that some seemingly innocent, pure, and clean little flowers can be quite captivating when they turn evil!
She merely provided her with suitable soil, and yet such a beautiful but poisonous flower bloomed.
That's so interesting!
With this, all her coercion and scheming against Yin Yuqing came to a complete end.
Because of her, she finally got what she wanted.
School doctor Mu Sheng.
As for Jiang Yao, whose favorability rating has now reached 90%, his life as a tool has come to an end.
After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
