The girl frowned unhappily and sat up from the hospital bed.
Looking around, it didn't look like a hospital.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
She touched her face, which was covered with medical tape, and her injured arm.
"Tsk tsk, I think I'm disfigured?"
"Sigh, will Xiao Xiao look down on me?"
The girl is Shi Xi.
The door opened, and Shi Xi looked in the direction of the sound, seeing a familiar face.
“It’s you.”
A woman with a seductive walk and heavy makeup held a soft whip as thick as a finger in her hand, followed by two tall and burly men.
The woman entered the room, and the man closed the door.
"Shi Xi! It's been a long time. I'm so glad you still remember me."
They've come with ill intentions!
Shi Xi got out of bed, stood by the bedside, and said with a smile, "Miss Chong, how could I not remember you! Uncle Chong is visiting my house right now. How about I take you to my house for a visit?"
Chong Shuang casually lashed the air twice with his whip.
Two loud "bangs" startled Shi Xi, who clutched her frightened heart.
"Hehe—Miss Chong, we're old acquaintances. I saw you come in, there's no need to wave the Quiet Whip to remind me."
The sound of the whip striking the ground was very loud. In ancient times, its purpose was to remind ministers that the emperor was coming and to keep quiet.
It's like a bell ringing before class, reminding students that it's time to start class.
Chong Shuang sneered, "Stop trying to be clever in front of me. With Master Chen not by your side, how can you act all high and mighty?"
"Well, showing off? How could that be? When have I ever shown off? I've always been a low-key person and I don't like to show off."
"Really? Who stole my skirt and secretly left it on the ship? Who whipped me, making me recuperate for three months before I could get out of bed? It was you, Shi Xi."
Shi Xi retreated to a corner, smiling awkwardly, "It was wrong of me to steal your dress. I've already apologized to you, so I'll buy you a new dress."
As for whipping you, that's because you smeared me online, causing the entire internet to curse me. If I were a fragile person, I might not be alive today.
Ultimately, it was she who offended Chong Shuang first.
But that was to save Qin Xue. Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. She didn't do it on purpose.
"Heh, Shi Xi, it's no use saying anything now. You're in my hands now, how many lashes do you think I should give you?"
"Not even a single lash... Chongshuang, your godfather is still living in Xiyuan. I'm as close to your godfather as father and daughter. Please, for his sake, let me out!"
Shi Xi looked around at her surroundings. The room only had a small window, and at Shi Xi's height, she couldn't see what was happening outside.
If there were only three people, she could escape.
Chong Shuang, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristled and lashed out at Shi Xi.
Shi Xi narrowly avoided the whip.
"You, how could you attack without warning?"
I was so scared! I almost got disfigured!
Wait a minute, it seems she's been disfigured!
Thinking this way, Shi Xi felt that the world was not kind to her at all.
She barely survived the car accident, and then Chong Shuang caught her. Not only did he catch her, but he also disfigured her!
Chong Shuang: "Stop looking. There are many people guarding you outside. You can't escape. You and my godfather...are as close as father and daughter? Haha—"
"Like father and daughter? Why do you think Chong En likes you? It's because you look like his deceased daughter."
"Even the fact that Master Chen treats you well and spoils you is only because of your face, the face that looks like Chong Xi."
