Chapter 86 Rescue them, then kill them again
The familiar barrage of sarcastic remarks struck again, but Jiang Ruzhen found it strangely endearing.
She smiled, a slight smirk playing on her lips. "Lu Mingzheng, what brings you here?"
"Why did I come here? To clean up your mess. You're always causing trouble; you can't even be seen for a moment and you've already created a huge disaster."
Jiang Ruzhen's heart stirred, and she asked in a low voice.
"What happened? Is Li Fen dead?"
"You really want her dead?" Lu Mingzheng asked dangerously, raising an eyebrow.
"No, no, it's understandable that I made a mistake in such a critical moment. After all, it was self-defense!" Jiang Ruzhen said with an embarrassed smile.
"Self-defense? You seem to know quite a few terms." Lu Mingzheng snorted coldly.
"How is Li Fen?" Jiang Ruzhen was anxious to know the result and tried to get up.
"hiss--"
She aggravated the wound on her arm again, gasping in pain, and Lu Mingzheng's expression immediately turned tense.
"How is it? Does it hurt a lot? I'll go call the doctor right away."
"No, no, just tell me quickly, is Li Fen dead or not?"
"She's not dead! She was just a breath away from death, but I got someone to save her." Lu Mingzheng was truly exasperated by Jiang Ruzhen and said irritably.
"You saved her? Why did you save her?" Jiang Ruzhen asked anxiously.
"Save her, then kill her again." Lu Mingzheng's eyes surged with overwhelming hatred as he gritted his teeth and forced out the words.
He thought Jiang Ruzhen had left without saying goodbye to avoid him, and he was thinking of giving her a few days to think about their relationship.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, he almost lost his life.
The doctor said that Jiang Ruzhen suffered a concussion, a fracture, and her whole body was covered in sores from being beaten.
Yesterday, he secretly lifted the back of her clothes and took a look. There were bluish-purple bruises all over her back, which looked even more terrible against her fair skin.
He was so angry that he wanted to grab a gun and shoot Li Fen.
The woman Lu Mingzheng cherished so much, the woman he couldn't even bear to force to make a decision, how dare that Li Fen beat her up like this.
How could he possibly let her die so easily?
Once Li Fen has recovered from her injuries, the trial will be held in half a month. She will definitely be sentenced to death for multiple crimes.
He'll arrange it, and he'll personally send that person on their way to avenge Jiang Ruzhen.
Furthermore, if the person dies now, it will be quite troublesome for Jiang Ruzhen, since it is a human life, and she may be judged as having acted excessively in self-defense.
She might not be able to get away, but as long as she's alive, he can guarantee that Jiang Ruzhen will be perfectly fine.
"Oh." When Jiang Ruzhen heard that Li Fen's fate was still death, she stopped worrying about it.
"Which ward is Xin Xin in? I want to go see her." Jiang Ruzhen tried to get up but was stopped by Lu Mingzheng.
"Come on! Xin Xin is much less injured than you. She was just kicked and slapped a few times by Li Fen."
Now they're all lively and ready to go back to school.
"Go back to school? Or maybe I should rest for a few more days."
Jiang Ruzhen anxiously got up again, and Lu Mingzheng suddenly stood up, brought his face close to hers, and threatened her through gritted teeth.
"Jiang Ruzhen, you have a concussion and a fracture. The doctor said you need to rest in bed. If you move again, believe me, I'll knock you out right now!"
Seeing Lu Mingzheng's dangerous gaze, Jiang Ruzhen immediately became timid and obediently lay down, smiling obsequiously.
"I won't move, Young Master Lu, I won't move, okay!"
Seeing that she had finally behaved herself, Lu Mingzheng sat down and picked up an apple from the cabinet to peel.
"Uncle Lu, I'm back!"
A shout came from the doorway, and the second brother rushed in with several lunchboxes. He saw Jiang Ruzhen staring at him with her eyes wide open.
He rushed over, yelling, carrying his lunchbox, "Mom! You're awake! Thank goodness, you almost scared me to death! Ah—"
"stop!"
A tall figure blocked the way for the second brother, and Lu Mingzheng stared at him with unfriendly eyes.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? Your mother just woke up. What if you knock her out again?"
Lu Mingzheng pushed his second son backward step by step, thinking that all that height was useless in a critical moment.
Thinking of Jiang Ruzhen lying on the bed at this moment, Lu Mingzheng looked at his lively second son with increasing disgust.
The second son also knew that Uncle Lu was in a bad mood because his mother was injured. He hadn't been able to help much. By the time Uncle Lu arrived at the scene with all the hats, everything had already been settled.
When he saw his mother collapse in front of everyone, his heart stopped beating.
Yesterday, after Uncle Lu visited my mother in the hospital, he punched him twice as soon as he came out. He gritted his teeth and didn't dare to utter a sound.
Because he saw the look in Uncle Lu's eyes when he went to Li Fen's ward, the look that seemed to want to tear her to pieces—it was terrifying!
He was afraid that Uncle Lu would dismember him on the spot.
These past two days, while his mother was in a coma, he busied himself taking care of her, hoping to become somewhat useful to Uncle Lu.
It was really irritating that Lu Mingzheng looked at him like he was trash.
"Also, starting today, I'll have Xiaoyu teach you some self-defense skills. From now on, when I'm not around, you'd better protect your mom, understand?"
The second son nodded repeatedly. Seeing that the second son's attitude of admitting his mistake was good, Lu Mingzheng turned around and went back to Jiang Ruzhen's side to continue peeling apples.
The second son chuckled and opened the lunchbox. "Mom, are you hungry? I made you your favorite pumpkin and millet porridge."
Seeing that her second son looked extremely guilty, Jiang Ruzhen beckoned him over and patted his head.
"Second son, it's not your fault that Mom got hurt this time. Don't feel guilty, Mom's fine now, isn't she? Give Mom a smile."
The second child grinned, his smile more like a grimace than a cry.
"You're just spoiling the kid!" Lu Mingzheng disagreed.
“My precious baby, whom I carried for ten months, why can’t I spoil her?” Jiang Ruzhen retorted immediately.
Lu Mingzheng was speechless, and the second son, who had just felt guilty, was amused by Lu's expression.
Jiang Ruzhen breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that although the second son did not look as gloomy as when she had just been reborn, his mind was still very sensitive.
She was afraid he would overthink things, so she just wanted the children to be well, happy, and healthy.
"mom--"
The door to the ward was pushed open, and Shen Shuxin and Xie Hui walked in.
Shen Shuxin rushed to Jiang Ruzhen's bedside and knelt down with a thud.
"Mom, I'm so sorry..."
Jiang Ruzhen was so anxious that she tried to get up, but Lu Mingzheng pressed her shoulder down and glared at Xie Hui.
Xie Hui quickly helped her up. "Xin Xin, don't be like this. Your godmother is fine now. What if she faints again if you keep crying like this?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuxin quickly wiped away her tears and crawled forward a few steps on her knees.
He grabbed Jiang Ruzhen's hand and pressed it against his face, looking at her with teary eyes.
Jiang Ruzhen was also very excited. She had a feeling that this event might be a turning point in Xin Xin's life.
Since fate has ordained her to face this ordeal, and she has overcome it, then Xin Xin's future life will be smooth sailing.
"Xin Xin, it's all my fault for not telling you anything in order to protect you. That's why you suffered this ordeal. Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake again."
Can you forgive your mother?
Hearing her mother say this, Shen Shuxin felt even more guilty.
But she didn't shed any more tears. Instead, she knelt upright in front of Jiang Ruzhen, raised three fingers, and swore an oath to the lamp.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely work harder to learn from you and become more resilient, intelligent and decisive."
I will never let you worry again; I will make you proud!
Jiang Ruzhen nodded repeatedly, "Good, good. My Xinxin has always been my pride."
Jiang Ruzhen touched Shen Shuxin's face with relief, "Oh, by the way, how's your injury? Let Mom take a look."
Shen Shuxin quickly grabbed her clothes, "Mom, it's alright, it's all ready."
Jiang Ruzhen glared at Lu Mingzheng beside her and said, "You all get out."
Lu Mingzheng sighed helplessly and took his second son and Xie Hui out.
When they arrived at the ward door, the second brother saw Xie Hui's face covered in bruises and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Xie Hui, what happened to you? Did you run into a tree?"
Xie Hui glanced cautiously at Lu Mingzheng, then rolled his eyes at the second brother, who really knew how to rub salt in the wound.
"You're really nosy."
The second brother secretly comforted himself, thinking that it seemed Uncle Lu had gone easy on him; otherwise, his face would have been stained black.
“Go down and find Xiao Yu now, and have him arrange physical training classes for you. I will check the results in twenty days. Whoever falls behind will have to fight me.”
"Ah—" the two of them wailed in unison.
Are they tired of living if they fight with Lu Mingzheng?
