Chapter 220 The Pretense of Fainting is Exposed
Qi Baifan was too proud to admit that Bai Xiaohui was flirting with Dong Xiaodi in front of everyone. He just endured Dong Xiangxiang's scratches, thinking that it would be over after a few hits.
But Dong Xiangxiang wouldn't let it go, and Qi Baifan was also angered and prepared to take action against Dong Xiangxiang.
"He deserved it!"
"So what if I hit him? I'm already regretting not killing him!"
Fortunately, Grandpa Zou, the "sea-stabilizing pillar," appeared just in time and pulled the people away.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
"What kind of time is this to be fighting?"
"The most urgent matter right now is the safety of Brother Dong!"
"We'll talk about other things later!"
So, a whole group of people rushed to the hospital.
Cheng Jiajia naturally had to go and watch the excitement.
It's really too strange that Dong Xiaodi suddenly became a vegetable. We need to find out why she's so distressed.
Knowing her character and being quite curious himself, Yu Junsheng naturally followed her.
As for Ren Xiaosheng, of course he will go too!
No reason!
...
Cheng Jiajia's suspicions deepened when she met Dong Xiaodi.
To be honest, Dong Xiaodi really doesn't seem like a patient.
Other patients either had a sallow or pale complexion; in short, they always looked weak and sickly.
Brother Dong, with a rosy complexion and a relaxed expression, lay there peacefully.
If she hadn't said anything, she would have thought he was just sleeping.
The moment Dong Xiangxiang saw her little brother, she collapsed to the bedside and burst into tears.
"Brother, my poor brother! How could you be killed by that heartless man when you were perfectly healthy! You were our only son, what will our parents do now that you're gone!"
"Brother, you haven't even gotten married yet, and you haven't even left a descendant for our Dong family. How could you leave like this!"
"How am I supposed to live now?!"
Those listening should probably just jerk off.
This young Dong, at such a young age, why is he so obsessed with carrying on the family line?
Brother Dong: "..."
Dong Xiaodi closed his eyes, listening to his sister's heart-wrenching cries in his ear, and experienced a slight ringing in his ears.
There was no other reason than that his sister's voice was too loud; if it continued like that, he would definitely go deaf.
Thinking this, Dong Xiaodi could only gently tickle Dong Xiangxiang's palm with his fingers.
That way, his sister will understand that he's okay, and she probably won't cry so loudly in his ear.
Dong Xiangxiang paused in her sobbing, her heart churning with turmoil.
Just now... her little brother is alright?!
Soon, Dong Xiangxiang understood why her younger brother had done this.
Then, she cried even more heart-wrenchingly, her cries growing louder.
He kept cursing Qi Baifan, the culprit, trying to firmly pin the label of murderer on Qi Baifan.
Brother Dong: "..."
...
Almost no one paid attention to this.
Besides Cheng Jiajia, she was the only one with sharp eyes who noticed this scene.
A thought struck her.
Is this young man Dong faking fainting?
Then, Cheng Jiajia pondered the whole matter and felt that it was probably true.
She already thought Dong Xiaodi's fainting was inexplicable, and sure enough, there was something fishy going on.
She said, "How could Qi Baifan, that weakling, knock out a healthy adult man?"
Cheng Jiajia nudged Yu Junsheng's elbow, signaling him to look.
Yu Junsheng and Ren Xiaosheng followed her gaze and saw the movement of Dong Xiaodi's fingers and the change in Dong Xiangxiang's expression. He raised an eyebrow.
Yu Junsheng silently mouthed to Cheng Jiajia, "Is it an act?"
Cheng Jiajia shrugged.
She guessed that the person was pretending to faint in order to avoid Qi Baifan's pursuit.
Ren Xiaosheng had mixed feelings.
Recalling what Jun Sheng had just told him about the relationship between the three of them, he could easily guess that Qi Baifan had probably discovered Dong Xiaodi and Bai Xiaohui's affair, and Dong Xiaodi was afraid that Qi Baifan would retaliate against him, so he took the initiative and pretended to faint.
They might even be planning to extort money from Qi Baifan.
The next moment, Dong Xiangxiang's shrill voice rang out, "Pay up! You have to pay up! You're the one who ruined my little brother!"
Guan Ailian, also looking indignant, stood up for Dong Xiaodi, saying, "That's right! Qi Baifan, you've ruined my nephew's life, you don't think you can just let it go like this!"
Ren Yongsheng said fiercely, "If you don't pay us, we'll call the police!"
Ren Xiaosheng's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. No wonder they're a family.
Anyone who didn't know better would think they cared a lot about Brother Dong.
In fact, apart from Dong Xiangxiang, the other members of the Ren family didn't even glance at Dong's younger brother lying in the hospital bed after arriving at the hospital; they went straight to Qi Baifan to demand compensation.
Ren Xiaosheng didn't know whether Guan Ailian and Ren Yongsheng knew that Dong Xiaodi was faking fainting.
However, whether they know it or not might not affect their performance.
Ren Xiaosheng believed that even if they knew that Dong Xiaodi was faking fainting, they would still make the same choice.
Seeing Ren Xiaosheng staring at those people with a cold expression, Cheng Jiajia blinked, covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered, "So, do you want to expose them?"
Ren Xiaosheng's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head and whispered back, "Sister-in-law, you're pregnant now, don't get into a conflict with them."
Although he didn't want these people to succeed, Cheng Jiajia's safety was more important.
The Ren family is clearly trying to extort money. If Cheng Jiajia exposes them, no one can predict what they might do in their anger.
He couldn't let Cheng Jiajia take the risk.
Even Yu Junsheng would be better off not getting involved in this matter.
Cheng Jiajia knew his worries and smiled mysteriously.
"That's definitely not the case."
Her specialty is stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
Over there, Qi Baifan was clearly frightened by the Ren family's mention of reporting to the police; his face turned pale.
Their attitude wasn't as forceful as before. "No, no, Sister-in-law Dong, Aunt Guan, Brother Ren, we can talk things over, we can talk things over!"
Dong Xiangxiang's eyes lit up; there was hope!
She immediately started wailing even louder, "You'll pay for my little brother's life! Pay for my little brother's life! My little brother is my family's precious darling, you won't be done with this without 1,000 yuan!"
Qi Baifan's face turned deathly pale.
Where did he get so much money?!
Everyone around was also taken aback.
"Holy crap, 1000 yuan? Has Dong Xiangxiang gone mad?"
"Exactly, who has 1000 yuan?"
"You're obsessed with money."
"You can't say that. After all, Qi Baifan has turned that guy's little brother into a vegetable. We don't even know how long he'll live."
"That's true! After all, it's a life."
Aunt Yan suddenly asked, "Hey, why do you think Qi Baifan hit Dong Xiaodi? These two don't usually have any interaction, do they?"
Not just Aunt Yan, everyone else was curious too.
Yes, why is that?
If Cheng Jiajia heard this, she would definitely praise it as a good question.
This is the key!
However, Qi Baifan didn't seem to intend to reveal the key to the problem, only saying that Dong Xiaodi deserved to be beaten by him, and that he didn't have that much money to pay compensation.
It's not hard to tell that he was already showing signs of backing down, but he was unwilling to pay so much in compensation.
...
Yu Junsheng clicked his tongue and said disdainfully, "Useless!"
She gave Qi Baifan a look of exasperation, wishing she could shake his shoulders and remind him, "Didn't you catch them cheating? Didn't you catch them cheating? Didn't you catch them cheating?"
Cheng Jiajia pouted. "That's right, she was intimidated by just a few words."
Although she didn't like Qi Baifan either, she hated the Ren family even more.
If Dong Xiaodi successfully fakes fainting, Qi Baifan will likely suffer a huge financial loss.
How could the Ren family not benefit from receiving compensation from Qi Baifan?
Thinking of the neglect and abuse the Ren family had inflicted on Ren Xiaosheng, who was, after all, her husband's savior when he was a child and now had a good relationship with Yu Junsheng, Cheng Jiajia didn't want the Ren family to be so smug.
Cheng Jiajia mischievously pulled a peanut out of her pocket.
He raised his chin and nodded in that direction.
"Just wait and see what happens."
Ren Xiaosheng didn't quite understand. Why did his sister-in-law take out peanuts?
Yu Junsheng's spirits lifted, and he immediately gave Cheng Jiajia a thumbs up.
"Wife, you're the best!"
His wife is about to show her prowess again, hehehe~
This is going to be interesting!
Before Ren Xiaosheng could even voice his question...
Cheng Jiajia aimed at Ren Yongsheng's knee, who was closest to Dong Xiaodi, and flicked it.
With a "whoosh".
Ren Yongsheng felt a sudden pain in his knee. "Ouch! Which bastard hit me?"
He had just finished cursing when he involuntarily leaned forward.
He reached out and tried to grab something but couldn't, and finally, with a "plop,"
He collapsed onto the hospital bed, landing squarely on Dong Xiaodi.
"ah!"
And what's most embarrassing is that Ren Yongsheng's head hit Dong Xiaodi's vital parts.
Dong, who was pretending to faint with his eyes closed: "!!!"
It felt like a hammer had struck my most vital part.
A sharp pain struck.
He sat bolt upright, his face contorted in agony: "Aaaaaah!!!"
"Damn it, who hit me?!"
The ward was eerily quiet.
The harsh words that the mother and son were about to say to Qi Baifan were swallowed back down their throats.
Their 1000 yuan is gone?!
Everyone stared at him with their mouths agape.
No, didn't this person say they were about to die and were in a vegetative state?
How come it's alive again?!
"Brother Dong, you're alive?"
"Oh, that's wonderful, Dong Xiangxiang! You don't have to suffer like this anymore!"
"Doctor, doctor! The patient here is awake!"
Bai Xiaohui's surprised voice came through the phone, "Xiao Dong, you're awake?"
Dong Xiangxiang, who was shrilly demanding 1,000 yuan in compensation from Qi Baifan, froze.
Wait, how did my little brother "wake up"?!
She hasn't even gotten the money yet!
Dong Xiaodi also froze.
The secret passage is terrible!
How could you forget that you were faking fainting!
Seeing everyone staring at him in shock, Dong Xiaodi's heart skipped a beat.
The older sister was demanding money from Qi Baifan, so how could she extort money from him now that she was awake?
no!
His eyes darted around, and he continued to play along, lying back down on the bed, feigning weakness, and gently rubbing his forehead with a pained expression. "Ouch, what's wrong with me? My head, my head is so dizzy..."
Before Dong Xiangxiang, whose face was still stiff, could react, Bai Xiaohui rushed over with genuine emotion and cried, "Xiao Dong, you're finally awake! You're finally awake! That's wonderful! Do you know how worried I was about you, I was so afraid something might happen to you, I was almost dying of worry, sob sob..."
"The doctor said you might become a vegetable, I was so scared! What would I do if something really happened to you!"
Dong Xiaodi remembered that there were still people in the room and tried to pull his arm out of Bai Xiaohui's grasp. "Xiaohui, don't get agitated, don't get agitated, I'm fine..."
But Bai Xiaohui wouldn't let go, and even held on tighter.
"Waaaaah... I was so scared..."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Wait, something's not right about these two.
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were a couple, with the wife worried about her unconscious husband... At this thought, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.
No, really?!
Could it really be like that?
Everyone looked at Bai Xiaohui and Dong Xiaodi in disbelief.
Bai Xiaohui held Dong Xiaodi's hand and cried, expressing her worries, burying her face in Dong Xiaodi's palm.
Although Dong Xiaodi had a stiff face and tried to pull his hand away, it was clear that Bai Xiaohui was very close to him, and it seemed that he was not so innocent.
And you know what? Once you start thinking in that direction, everything that seemed illogical and off suddenly makes sense!
Everyone: "!!!"
Holy shit! Holy shit!
These guys really know how to have fun!
They still remember how infatuated Bai Xiaohui was with Qi Baifan back then. How long has it been? She's already turned her attention to another man.
Some people scoffed, "What's so strange about that? Bai Xiaohui initially liked Qin Ziwen, but didn't she soon set her sights on Qi Baifan?"
That's true!
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem so hard to understand.
After all, Bai Xiaohui has a criminal record and isn't exactly a devoted person.
The most unexpected person was Dong Xiaodi, a young man from the countryside.
He looks honest and unassuming, but I never expected him to be so cunning. He's only been in the compound for a short time, and he's already hooked up with Bai Xiaohui, a married woman!
Everyone stared at the three parties involved with burning eyes, glancing at the two lovebirds one moment and then turning to look at Bai Xiaohui's real man, Qi Baifan the next.
I wonder how Qi Baifan is feeling right now.
The real man, Qi Baifan, had long since turned green, and his whole body was radiating a low-pressure atmosphere.
But there are still those who don't understand colors and just ask directly.
"Damn it, Qi Baifan, you didn't start this because you caught Bai Xiaohui and Dong Xiaodi cheating, did you?"
Qi Baifan's face darkened even more.
Damn it, damn it!
The thing he was willing to pay compensation to keep hidden was actually exposed by this despicable couple!
Ahhh!
Just then, the doctor who had diagnosed Dong Xiaodi earlier also hurried in.
After inspecting the area, he frowned as he stared at Dong Xiaodi.
"Hiss~"
Dong Xiangxiang's eyes lit up. "Doctor, is there something wrong with my little brother? Has he been injured internally?"
The doctor murmured:
"It's really strange. Logically speaking, after waking up from a concussion, one should experience some symptoms and be weak, but this patient is perfectly healthy, showing none of the symptoms one would expect after waking up from a concussion-induced coma..."
Brother Dong had a bad feeling.
He winked at Dong Xiangxiang, but Dong Xiangxiang didn't get it. She was only hoping that the doctor would say something bad so she could extort money from him.
Before the others could even process what was happening, Qi Baifan realized it.
Dong Xiaodi's voice sounded weak and feeble, but his complexion was rosy, and he didn't look sick at all.
And the doctor said he was in good health...
Damn it, he wasn't knocked unconscious by himself at all, he was clearly faking it!
This slut is trying to extort money from me!
"Hey, Mr. Dong, are you alright?"
His dark eyes stared at Dong Xiaodi, and he asked in a sinister tone.
Dong Xiaodi chuckled awkwardly, "Hehehe, Brother Qi, I'm much better, much better... Ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, Qi Baifan had already gotten on the bed and was hitting him.
"Brother Qi, don't... rush! Ah!"
This farce ended with Qi Baifan and Dong Xiaodi both getting a day trip to the hospital.
Of course, everyone also knows that Qi Baifan and Bai Xiaohui both cheated on each other.
The only difference is that one is a men's hat and the other is a women's hat.
So much so that later, when people mentioned the couple, they would all have a complicated expression on their faces.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
