Chapter 53 You'll only work if you coax me.
Tang Susu's heart tightened. She gripped the hem of her clothes, and finally mustered her courage to take a step forward. "Her injury..."
“It’s me.” Song Heng, who stood up, interrupted Tang Susu.
Tang Susu looked at Song Heng in surprise, unable to describe her feelings for a moment.
Xia Yu's voice was filled with danger, "You did this?"
If it were anyone else, they would have been terrified under Xia Yu's pressure. But whether it was because Song Heng was exceptionally brave and fearless, or because he was much more mature than others, he remained unfazed under Xia Yu's pressure.
Song Heng said, "I bumped into her, and she fell down."
After a pause, he added, "I didn't know she was injured."
This is the truth, but it inexplicably makes people even angrier.
But before Xia Yu could get angry, Grandpa Xia spoke first: "You child, you're not usually a reckless person, how could you be so careless today? Fortunately, my eldest granddaughter isn't petty, so I'll let it go this time. But if it happens again, I'll definitely settle the score with your grandfather!"
Song Heng probably didn't expect Old Master Xia to say such a thing, and he fell silent, unable to respond.
Lu Qi glanced at Song Heng, who was standing in front of Tang Susu, and then at Xia Yu, whose face was growing increasingly grim. He thought to himself that this young man had definitely been removed from Xia Yu's list of potential sons-in-law.
Xia Yu said coldly, "Dad, you don't need anyone to keep you company at this meal, so Zhenzhen and I won't join you."
Grandpa Xia was taken aback when Xia Yu blurted out such a thing in public. His expression changed. "Xia Yu, what did you say?"
"I said, we won't have dinner with you. I'm taking Zhenzhen to the hospital." Xia Yu then took Xia Zhen's uninjured hand and led her out of the banquet hall without looking back.
Grandpa Xia clutched his chest, breathing rapidly.
"Grandpa, don't be angry." Tang Susu quickly and gently patted Grandpa Xia's back, feeling both guilty and scared.
Lu Qi also comforted Grandpa Xia for a few moments. After the old man calmed down, he smiled and said, "Xiao Yu is so concerned about his daughter, she must be very precious to him."
Grandpa Xia snorted coldly, "Does he cherish his daughter? If it weren't for Zhenzhen's mother divorcing him..."
There were younger people here, and Grandpa Xia realized he had spoken out of turn, so he simply shut his mouth and said no more.
Lu Qi wisely refrained from asking further questions and instead looked at the young man named Song Heng who was present.
He was clearly closest to Tang Susu, yet he was looking towards the doorway.
An amusement appeared in Lu Qi's peach blossom eyes.
Young people these days are really interesting.
"Dad, I'm really fine. I just bumped my head and it'll be fine soon."
Xia Yu drove on, completely ignoring Xia Zhen's opinion. He stubbornly said, "You think it's okay now, but what if you break a bone and don't even realize it?"
Xia Yu is a domineering person at work, and this is also true at this time.
Xia Zhen sat in the passenger seat, a little worried, "But Dad, you didn't give Grandpa any face today. Grandpa holds grudges the most. What if he doesn't let you manage the company in the future?"
Xia Yu is indeed the president now, in charge of all matters, but the chairman is still Old Master Xia.
Xia Yu wasn't worried at all. "This is not something you need to worry about."
On the way, Xia Yu made a phone call to the hospital. As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Xia Zhen was immediately taken to the green channel by the waiting doctor for examination. Even though the doctors thought that Xia Zhen only had a bump, Xia Yu was watching from the side, and the doctors insisted on making a big show of a specialist consultation out of a bump.
For Miss Xia's health, all necessary tests must be done!
Xia Zhen was like a puppet, being pushed from one department to another. By the time she finished a series of tests, it was already past nine o'clock at night.
It would take some time for the test results to come out, so Xia Yu bought her some sushi to fill her stomach. Just then, he received a work call, so he had his assistant bring the documents to the hospital and borrowed a small office to work in.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xia Zhen grabbed the box of sushi and slipped out of the office, finally breathing in the air of freedom.
With her sharp eyes, she stood in the corridor and looked out the window, spotting a familiar figure on the lawn below.
Xia Zhen quickly took the elevator downstairs.
The moonlight is perfect tonight.
Bathed in the moonlight, Lu Jin's white hair and fair skin seemed to be coated with a cool light, making them appear even more pale and serene.
The few chocolates he clutched in his hand, their wrappers occasionally reflecting the dappled moonlight, were utterly devoid of warmth.
His senses were very sharp; when the night breeze carried the familiar scent of the girl, his tense body relaxed.
Sure enough, someone covered his eyes from behind.
She lowered her voice and said in a deliberately hoarse tone, "Guess who I am?"
The boy's lips curled into a smile. "Is she a tyrant who wants to rape you?"
"What female tyrant?" She instantly regained her normal voice and said discontentedly from behind him, "Is there a female tyrant as beautiful as me?"
"I guessed wrong," Lu Jin said gently. "It's the little princess, isn't it?"
Xia Zhen, who is usually very thick-skinned, suddenly felt a little embarrassed and blushed. She muttered, "You guessed right."
Lu Jin took her hand and led her to him. "Zhenzhen."
Xia Zhen's hand hurt a little, but after frowning subconsciously, she quickly regained her composure and smiled at him.
Even the slightest change couldn't escape his notice.
Lu Jin asked her, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong."
He said, "Zhenzhen, don't lie to me."
Xia Zhen felt completely lost under his gaze. She decided to give up and, with a clenched lip, tears streamed down her face. "Lu Jin, I'm hurt."
She extended her right hand to him.
Lu Jin carefully lifted her sleeve and saw the dark bruise. His heart clenched as if it had been violently torn apart. He pulled her into his arms and asked in a low voice, "How did you get hurt?"
"I was walking along the road when suddenly a rabbit jumped out of the grass and startled me. I fell down, and to make matters worse, a dog next to me started barking wildly, preventing me from confronting the rabbit!"
What are all these things?
Lu Jin could sense that she was hiding something, but now that the girl was crying, he couldn't care less about anything else.
Gently wiping away the girl's tears, he asked with heartache, "Does it still hurt?"
"It hurts!"
"I'll take you to see a doctor."
"I've seen a doctor, but it didn't help," she said tearfully, "You have to coax me to make it work."
Her tears were definitely not in vain.
The boy remained unmoved, seemingly not intending to indulge her in such a way.
She squeezed out a few more tears, her dark, moist eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly pitiful.
Naturally, he was defeated.
The boy lowered his head helplessly and said softly, "Don't cry. I'll let you play more in the future, okay?"
Xia Zhen's eyes lit up.
