Xiao Yunting pulled Zhao Jie back. "Second Miss, why don't you wait until the chairman arrives before we talk about this?" He was worried that the people inside might harm her.
Zhao Jie was also a little scared. Just as she was about to leave, the caregiver happened to come out from inside, and Zhao Qing saw the two people at the door.
She instinctively covered her face and turned her head away. She was on the verge of collapse, seeing that Zhao Jie was almost driving her to the brink of despair.
"You came here to laugh at me? Heh, you can get lost now that you've had your fun." Zhao Qing tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart. She felt that her life was a tragedy. She couldn't do anything right. She had no talent but was forced to learn the violin. The men she liked all liked her own younger sister, and she had finally thought she had found true love...
She trembled uncontrollably, not from fear, but from anger, from the resentment pressing down on her body, resentment towards this unjust world!
Finally, all the emotions erupted after Zhao Jie softly called out, "Sister."
Her fragile nerves completely collapsed.
"I'm not your sister!"
Zhao Qing stopped hiding the scars on her face and turned to look at Zhao Jie, who was in shock. Look at her, this little girl is so beautiful, with delicate features, so petite that you want to protect her. When a deer falls in front of a lion, everyone always blames the lion.
She, from childhood to adulthood, was the slandered lion, while they would never know the true face of the deer.
“You’re always like this, Zhao Jie, as if I’ve done something terrible to you. You’re delicate, pitiful, and have a congenital heart disease, so I have to always give in to you. When you were little, you broke a vase and cried, and I was just standing there, so I became the one who broke the vase! From that day on, I swore that I would never come near you again! You’re a devil.”
Zhao Jie's pupils contracted slightly. She knew that Zhao Qing was telling the truth. There had indeed been such an incident when she was a child, and later the two of them often did the same thing, and Zhao Qing was always the one who was punished.
Before today, Zhao Jie had never realized there was anything wrong with this. Now, looking at Zhao Qing's ferocious face and angry expression, she felt as if she had been doused with cold water and sobered up.
“But I didn’t want to, I didn’t expect this…” Zhao Jie tried to explain but was abruptly interrupted.
"Heh, stop trying to fool me with that innocent look. Maybe it's okay for a three-year-old, but three years ago, when Xiao Yunting came, you did it on purpose! Zhao Jie, you stole everything from me—my family, my friends, even the person I love… If I had a choice, I'd rather not be your older sister! I was only born a minute before you, so why do you have to take everything from me!"
The "secret" she mentioned made Zhao Jie's heart clench. She looked at Xiao Yunting guiltily. Three years ago, when Xiao Yunting came to the Zhao family, she could see that Zhao Qing liked him, but she liked him too, so she also chose Xiao Yunting as her bodyguard.
The result was predictable.
Zhao Qing saw Zhao Jie's hesitation and burst into laughter, ignoring the open wound on his face that was bleeding profusely.
"You're a thief! A coward hiding behind someone else's back! You don't deserve to be my sister! Get out! Get out! I don't want to see you! Get out!"
As Zhao Qing spoke, she became increasingly agitated, grabbing a water glass from the bedside table and throwing it at Zhao Jie.
"roll!"
The glass shattered at Zhao Jie's feet, startling her into stepping back. Xiao Yunting stepped in front of her to shield her.
Just then, Grandpa Zhao happened to push the door open and enter.
"Zhao Qing, you're insane!"
Zhao Qing felt a moment of fear, which quickly turned into madness: "Yes, I've gone mad! You've driven me mad! Nobody's going to live! We'll all die together!!"
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao quickly came over and pulled their youngest daughter out of the ward. Mrs. Zhao hugged Zhao Jie tightly and comforted her, "Jie Jie, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, everything will be alright."
Mr. Zhao, with a stern face, pulled Xiao Yunting aside. "Before you resigned, you were Xiao Jie's bodyguard. What's wrong with you today? You clearly knew that Xiao Qing had a misunderstanding about her sister, yet you let her act willfully..."
"It was my fault, and I am willing to accept any punishment." Xiao Yunting admitted his mistake.
Zhao Jie had regained some composure by this time, and she felt as if she had never been so clear-headed in the past twenty years.
She pushed Zhao's mother aside and rushed to Zhao's father and Xiao Yunting.
“Dad, punish me if you must. I was the one who threatened him. It was my fault. It has nothing to do with him.”
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were very surprised, as this was the first time Zhao Jie had said such a thing.
But the couple immediately realized it was because Zhao Jie liked Xiao Yunting.
In fact, Zhao Jie's feelings were written all over her face. She liked Xiao Yunting, but three years ago, before Xiao Yunting became the Zhao family's bodyguard, he had been living a life of danger and violence. Moreover, people in their line of work had many enemies, so they were not comfortable entrusting their daughter to him.
Moreover, Shao Lin can provide her with better treatment; country A has mature experience in heart transplant surgery.
In the end, this matter was left unresolved.
No one knows what Grandpa Zhao said to Zhao Qing, but by the time they left, she had calmed down. However, her gaze towards them was very cold and carried a strange madness.
If Xia Yixin were here, she would definitely notice the vengeful spirit entwined around her.
They immediately followed up, and later the hospital reported that Zhao Qing had attempted suicide but failed and had lost her memory.
When Grandpa Zhao heard the news, he remained silent for a long time. This elderly man, who was over eighty years old, with gray hair and a vigorous spirit, had experienced many things. He saw through many things at a glance, but he just didn't say it.
He summoned Xiao Yunting, and the next day Xiao Yunting resigned and left the Zhao family.
Since Zhao Jie first met Xiao Yunting three years ago and made this man, who was five years older than her, her bodyguard, she never imagined that in just three years, she would fall in love with him, and now he was leaving.
Xiao Yunting left late at night. When Zhao Jie saw his figure from the window sill, she ran down quickly and stopped him in one breath.
Are you really leaving?
"right."
"You...don't you have anything to say to me at all?"
"Miss, please listen to the chairman. He's doing this for your own good." Xiao Yunting's sharply defined face remained expressionless.
He was like a block of wood, never changing when facing her.
Zhao Jie felt like she had punched a pile of cotton, and she didn't laugh until he brushed past her.
At first, it was a wry smile, but it eventually turned into self-deprecating humor: "My sister is right."
Xiao Yunting paused, his foot still.
“I am a thief. I know my parents feel guilty about my heart disease because it is caused by their genetic defect. I also know that if I want something good, I will get it. When the vase was broken, I did not tell the truth. Later, when you came to the Zhao family, I could tell that my sister liked you, but I still asked you to be my bodyguard. I never thought about this for the first twenty years of my life. Now I realize how disgusting I am.”
Zhao Jie finished speaking in one breath and ran away as if she was afraid of something. But she didn't realize that their conversation had already been overheard by the woman hiding in the living room. The scar on her face was extremely ferocious, and her eyes were filled with madness and the flames of revenge.
