Chapter 424: Evil (53)
They welcomed the announcement of the results in suspicion.
What no one expected was that Qiao Xi would be the center of the discussion again. She seemed to have been completely transformed, caught up in the vortex of entanglement with F4. After the results were announced, she was...
First? !
Bai Zhizhi ranked third and found it unbelievable after seeing the rankings announced.
Qiao Xi, Qiao Xi is the first?
The words in front of her seemed to freeze at that moment, and became increasingly blurred in her eyes, like rice paper soaked in ink and spread out, and she could not see anything clearly.
"Hey, look over there, Bai Zhizhi is crying..."
"Let her cry, just leave her alone. No matter how bad she is, she's still third. You're last, so take care of yourself."
The indifference of people around.
There was schadenfreude and pity, sympathy and sneers. Most of them were indifferent, and all the voices were moving away from Bai Zhizhi.
She hasn't been bullied recently.
She was no longer hated by others because someone appeared who was even more annoying than her, Qiao Xi.
The girls hate Qiao Xi.
I heard that after she broke up with Qiao Xi, there were some mocking voices at first, but gradually, as more and more things happened, F4's blatant preference for Qiao Xi became clear.
Then go to F4 and enter the hospital.
The attitudes of those girls also gradually changed. Even someone who used to dislike her came up to her, looked at her for a while, and finally spoke.
"Bai Zhizhi, I think you look much better now."
"Some greedy people are probably using you as a springboard, and then throwing you away after they're done. You're a pitiful person, too."
That's what they said.
Bai Zhizhi sat in her seat in a trance, staring blankly at the blue sky outside the window. She didn't know why, but lately she'd noticed people around her were being friendly to her, and things had gotten better.
When did it start to change?
like……
It was probably the time after she broke up with Qiao Xi that the world seemed to slowly become gentler towards her.
She saw Qiao Xi's mental state was not right several times.
but.
She didn't say anything. She and Qiao Xi were no longer friends. No matter what happened to her, it had nothing to do with her. What's more, the boy she liked before also liked Qiao Xi.
And being used as a springboard...
Do other people think so too?
A subtle sense of strangeness began to emerge from the depths of Bai Zhizhi's heart. She subconsciously felt that something seemed to be wrong, and she always felt that things should not develop in this way.
But all this is going on.
But it seems very logical.
When she didn't see Yan Shen, and didn't continue to contact Yan Shen, she didn't know when she started to feel unwilling and jealous, as well as angry and uncontrollable bitterness.
It seems to have become a lot less.
She had no way of finding out the origin of this strange feeling.
Bai Zhizhi couldn't help but raise her hand and cover her heart. It felt like a heavy mountain was constantly pressing down on her, sucking away the air, leaving her with a suffocating, heavy pressure that made her breathless.
It also made her inexplicably uncomfortable.
She didn't want to think about Qiao Xi.
Everything happened so logically, and the overall feeling Bai Zhizhi felt was indescribably strange and harmonious.
It seems...something is wrong.
Subconsciously, I think this shouldn't be the case.
What a strange feeling.
Even more profound than the oppressive feeling was a vague unease and inexplicable panic. It felt ominous and strange, like fat, off-white maggots crawling and crawling through murky slime.
Very disgusting.
Bai Zhizhi didn't know why she felt this way.
Her face turned pale as she forced herself to change her thoughts, so that she would not think about Qiao Xi anymore. She waited until it got dark and everyone around her had left.
She saw Qiao Xi was the last one left.
The girl's slender figure gradually faded away in the vibrant orange-red sunset glow. Bai Zhizhi clutched her schoolbag strap tightly, staring at her in amazement.
My heart felt empty and uneasy.
It also becomes more intense.
In the end, she shook her head and said nothing, turned and walked another way, getting farther and farther away from Qiao Xi.
Yan Liang and Yu Zhi are hospitalized.
Yan Shen sneered when he received the report from his men. He waited for Qiao Xi to come but she didn't show up. Instead, he got the news that Yan Liang and Yu Zhi were also hospitalized.
and.
It all started because of her.
It was not until now that all this gradually surfaced. Coincidentally, Qiao Xi was among those involved, and the person who was safe and sound both times was also Qiao Xi.
coincide?
Yan Shen wouldn't believe this.
He just believed that everything that happened was done deliberately by Qiao Xi.
Hiding the pensive look in his eyes, Yan Shen lowered his eyelids and looked at his well-bandaged arms and body, a fierce look flashing across his eyes.
"Kill Zhan Qi."
“…”
"It would be best if we could make him completely despair before that happens. Is Zhan Hao still borrowing money everywhere? Go lend him some high-interest loans and let him come to beg. If he can't pay it back, doesn't he still have his son Zhan Qi? Then use his son's life to pay for it. Let the son pay for the father's debt."
"……yes."
There are so many people who need compensation, including medical expenses, mental damage expenses, hospitalization fees, etc.
There were more than one or two people who had been injured by Zhan Qi. Even if Zhan Hao had used all his savings to repay the debt, he still couldn't make up for it. If he had given out a few more loans, it would be enough to tear this already fragile family apart.
The subordinates took orders and left.
Yan Shen sat back against the bed, his eyes closed. Yan Liang was the illegitimate son of the current head of the Yan family and his first love. Hiding here, his identity hidden, his wife and eldest son, Yan Wenbin, had been searching for him for a long time.
Yan Liang is so flamboyant.
It’s time to learn your lesson and send someone to take him back to the Yan family and discipline him properly.
It would save him from constantly thinking about things he shouldn't, causing chaos and trouble. But it was also thanks to him that he had disrupted Yu Zhi's plans, so he didn't get killed by Yan Wenbin.
After the rankings are announced.
Seats were also changed based on grades, so Qiao Xi was naturally moved to the front row. Bai Zhizhi sat not far from her, and every time she saw the girl's focused gaze, the inexplicable unease in her heart grew stronger.
I wanted to talk to Qiao Xi several times.
But thinking about what happened to the other person, she held back.
I can't have anything to do with Qiao Xi. She sent three members of F4 to the hospital. Now almost everyone is rejecting and fearing her. Some people are also talking privately that Qiao Xi is a lunatic who will do anything to achieve her goals.
Bai Zhizhi felt uncomfortable and wanted to refute.
But then she thought again that if she did this she would be targeted again like before, so she remained silent in the end.
She didn't say anything.
Just like everyone else, I became a bystander.
Recently, her parents have been increasingly busy, and she often has to go to the hospital to take care of her grandmother, leaving her with no time to review. If she weren't so smart, she would have fallen behind.
I am so busy with my own affairs.
Even the mud Buddha couldn't save himself when crossing the river. As for Qiao Xi's matter, what exactly happened... In fact, it really can't be blamed on her for being powerless and unable to speak, right? She didn't want to be excluded, nor did she want to be bullied by others.
I don’t want to suffer the loneliness and malice of being abandoned by the whole world again.
So there are so many things that make her feel embarrassed.
She must have her reasons for doing this...
Think of this.
Bai Zhizhi lowered her head and bit her lip, not looking at Qiao Xi in the seat in front of her. She forced herself to look away and focus on the lesson in front of her.
I have to go to the hospital on weekends.
There was no time to review, and she couldn't afford to be distracted again.
After Qiao Xi returned home, she slowly prepared herself. Unexpectedly, she received a call from her mother, who sounded anxious and asked if she had gone to the hospital.
Qiao Xi also answered honestly that there was none.
I plan to wait until the weekend to go.
The other party must have looked at the date and didn't continue to press. It would only take two days, so Qiao Xi would naturally bring it over after she prepared the things.
[I'm really prepared!]
The little black cat system watched in the space as she finished the design and used magic to make a vase, marveling at her.
Qiao Xi casually took out a few seeds.
[President Yan is so eager to see me, so I have to go and see him.]
The wood magic made the seeds in her hand grow rapidly. After Qiao Xi packed everything and prepared everything, she took her things to the hospital.
Qiao Xi followed and found Yan Shen's ward and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
A familiar and gentle voice of a boy came from behind the door, and Qiao Xi opened the door and went in carrying something.
“Click—”
Gently closing the door, Qiao Xi looked around the spacious room. She took the gift she had brought and walked to the side, putting it away. Yan Shen, who was sitting on the bed, noticed that it was her who came, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
His eyes narrowed.
It was gradually replaced by the surging undercurrent and depth. He just watched Qiao Xi put the things away, then turned around and looked at him with a bright smile. The girl waved and greeted him.
"Long time no see, President. Are you feeling better?"
The male lead is worthy of being the male lead.
Even if he is injured, this configuration is sufficient and does not affect his handsome and handsome appearance at all.
Yan Shen was not wearing glasses.
Without his glasses, he no longer had the impression of a gentle senior, but instead had a more cedar-like, clear and noble air. Perhaps this temperament was more in line with his true self.
Yan Shen's eyes drooped slightly.
His sight seemed to inadvertently fall on the girl's white and tender little hands hidden in her sleeves, with only a little pink fingertips showing.
"It's really hard for you to come here?"
The hint of sarcasm and the deep meaning in his tone were self-evident. If he hadn't asked his subordinates to do the job, Qiao Xi probably wouldn't have planned to come and visit him at all.
Have the nerve?
Zhan Qi was her nominal brother before, and she was such an irresponsible sister. If her brother hurt someone, she should at least cover for him, right?
only.
Qiao Xi didn't pay attention to Yan Shen's barbed words.
She gently pulled a chair over and sat next to Yan Shen's bed. She blinked her bright and clear almond-shaped eyes and looked at him curiously, as if she was a little surprised by the boy's reaction.
"Is the president angry that I didn't come to see you?"
Yan Shen: “…”
Qiao Xi has always had good reading comprehension skills.
He glanced at Qiao Xi coldly, his eyes warning her without saying anything. However, Qiao Xi didn't fall for his threats, and instead leaned forward, almost rubbing against him.
"Is the president seriously injured? Do you want me to take a look?"
How could she approach him so impolitely and unscrupulously?
Probably only Qiao Xi.
However, the girl didn't mention Zhan Qi and Yan Liangyuzhi at all, which made Yan Shen feel a little better. However, just because Qiao Xi didn't mention it didn't mean he wouldn't settle the score later.
Yan Shen curled his lips and sneered.
"If you have time to care about me, why don't you go check on Yu Zhi and Yan Liang?"
Qiao Xi retreated to the table, resting her hands on her cheeks as she leisurely watched Yan Shen, blinking her beautiful eyes. She actually wanted to not come at all, otherwise what was the point of wasting all this time.
but……
Didn't you ask me to come here in a roundabout way?
Still trying to hold on to your guns?
Despite thinking so, Qiao Xi naturally had to put on a good front. She quickly continued to maintain her business state, her eyes curved and smiling, and she casually said something that Yan Shen would like to hear.
"It doesn't matter what happens to them. It's not my turn to worry about it. The president is definitely more important right now."
The girl's voice was light and lively.
It seems that he really doesn't care.
Yan Shen's expression did indeed ease a little, but his attitude towards Qiao Xi was still not friendly. He still remembered what Qiao Xi said to him on the rooftop that day.
He is to Qiao Xi.
Maybe it's just one of those things that can be dispensable.
The things that he was brooding over and cared about very much were probably just a casual thing for Qiao Xi.
"President—"
Probably because she saw that he ignored her.
The girl came closer to him again, mumbling with her pink lips, and called him out in dissatisfaction, "Why are you so petty? Are you still fussing about it?"
Qiao Xi stretched out her hand and cupped the man's handsome face.
She had to make Yan Shen turn his head to look at her.
It was precisely because he had never been treated like this before, and he himself didn't care much about that aspect, so after Qiao Xi treated him like that.
It is an unprecedented new experience.
I was already very sensitive.
Being treated like that was already too much for Yan Shen. The feeling of losing control of his mind also made him unable to let go for a long time.
"You've done so much, yet you're still able to appear here so calmly."
A look of disgust seemed to pass across Yan Shen's eyebrows.
He turned his head, grabbed Qiao Xi's wrist and pulled it away, preventing the girl from touching his cheek any further.
"Didn't the president ask me to come here?"
The girl innocently wanted to withdraw her hand, but just as she was about to move, Yan Shen's grip on her wrist tightened.
The man pulled her wrist forcefully.
This also made Qiao Xi feel confused.
"Besides, my current situation was indirectly caused by you, President."
Qiao Xi looked at his hand, which was tightly grasping hers, and frowned slightly. Then she met his deep eyes and sensed a familiar presence approaching from outside the door, so she simply stopped being polite.
The girl's sarcastic chuckle came.
And at this time.
It also made Bai Zhizhi, who was standing outside the ward door, stop.
Bai Zhizhi couldn't help but stop when she heard Qiao Xi's voice coming from this ward. She had been coming to the hospital frequently recently and didn't know where Yan Shen's ward was.
but.
I come here more often.
She also often saw someone dressed seriously entering and leaving a certain ward, and then Bai Zhizhi quietly followed them and found that this was Yan Shen's ward.
She had never been in there.
I don’t know why, but I don’t really want to see Yan Shen.
She went back to her grandmother's ward.
If she took a detour, she could still pass by Yan Shen's ward. She didn't want to go over to visit him, after all, it wasn't open to anyone.
therefore.
It was only a few times that I would pass by and occasionally hear what Yan Shen was saying, but I couldn't hear the details.
Now.
Qiao Xi's voice was heard from the ward, which made Bai Zhizhi, who had originally planned to just pass by, stop unconsciously.
"What do you know?"
Yan Shen's low voice came from the ward.
And in the ward.
He let go of Qiao Xi's wrist, and stared at the girl in front of him with his dark and deep eyes. Qiao Xi pouted and rubbed her wrist, which was a little painful from being pinched by him.
"What else can I know? You want to get closer to Bai Zhizhi."
The girl's nonchalant voice came.
It also made Bai Zhizhi's body stiff outside the ward.
really……
Qiao Xi knew it. She knew that Yan Shen deliberately approached her and used her to get in touch with his best friend.
Bai Zhizhi bit her lower lip.
I just felt extremely embarrassed, and my lips even turned slightly white because I used too much force.
I thought I wouldn't care.
But now that Qiao Xi brought it up with such a nonchalant attitude, she inexplicably felt a little unwilling.
but.
Then in the next second, Yan Shen's sneer was heard.
"Yes, I wanted to use this opportunity to get close to her so that she would fall head over heels in love with me. Unfortunately, you, a dirty woman, came to ruin my plans."
Never heard of it before.
The gentle and refined president spoke so carelessly with such contempt and sarcasm.
Bai Zhizhi outside the ward was stunned.
"Qiao Xi, you're such an eyesore. If you hadn't come to disrupt things, she would have fallen head over heels in love with me, and I could have easily taken advantage of her sick grandmother and made her kneel before me and beg me without any dignity."
Yan Shen's voice came immediately afterwards.
The sarcastic words were spoken without any guilt, and one could even hear a hint of regret in them.
"Are you crazy?! It's not enough that you want to harm Bai Zhizhi, you also want to harm her grandmother?!"
The girl's shocked voice came out.
Then there was a crisp sound of slapping, as if Qiao Xi hit Yan Shen in anger.
But soon.
There was a clanging sound from inside, as if something was hit and broke. The next second, only Qiao Xi's muffled groan of pain could be heard.
“Hmm…”
"Even if you knew, what could you do? Could you stop me? Qiao Xi, there are many things you can't do. Don't waste your time. Whether her grandmother can continue to receive treatment is something I can decide with just one word."
The man said this with a sneer.
He has a contemptuous and arrogant attitude and does not care about other people's lives at all.
Outside the ward.
Bai Zhizhi's face was pale. She slowly raised her slightly trembling hands and covered her mouth tightly, but she couldn't hide the shock and disbelief in her eyes.
Her body was even trembling slightly.
Why……
How could Yan Shen say such vicious words? Is that really Yan Shen?
Is this really the Yan Shen she knows?
Everything that happened in reality seemed to be shattered, but the quarrel in the ward did not stop.
The man's sinister words came.
"You'd better not even think about disobeying me. You've repeatedly stopped me from getting close to Bai Zhizhi. You filthy woman, why don't you just be a good pawn and be used? Is it because Zhan Qi didn't torture you enough, or are Yu Zhi and Yan Liang too kind, that you still have the heart to disobey me?"
"Shut up, just shut up...!"
Inside the ward, there was the sound of a girl trembling like a madman and collapsing.
Those words.
It seemed to have hit a sore spot for her.
"If you hadn't diverted their attention, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to get close to Bai Zhizhi. You haven't been completely without merit, but unfortunately, you still got in my way in the end."
But Yan Shen didn't care about her reaction.
Probably think so.
He was very pleased to see Qiao Xi's collapsed look.
"Are you surprised? You thought I was just trying to get close to Bai Zhizhi? Then have you ever thought about why Yan Liang and the others approached you in the first place? If it wasn't my instruction, do you think they would be interested in you with your current appearance?"
Another bombshell.
Slowly revealing the ugly and cruel reality.
Outside the ward, Bai Zhizhi felt as if a bombshell had been dropped on her brain, knocking her completely unconscious. Her trembling body felt weak, and she was too shocked to even stand firmly.
Strong feeling of nausea.
At this moment, it becomes more vivid than any other moment before.
I have a constant acid feeling in my stomach.
She covered her mouth, trembling, and slowly fell to the wall. She felt so nauseous that she wanted to retch several times, but because she hadn't eaten anything, she couldn't vomit anything.
Bai Zhizhi only felt a flash of whiteness in front of her eyes.
Yan Shen is...
say what?
"But it's good that you can divert their attention. I thought I could get close to Bai Zhizhi smoothly next. It's a pity. You are such a shameless woman. You are so dirty that you still want to defile me as well."
In the ward.
It was the man's extremely disgusted voice that came.
"But it doesn't matter. You sent them to the hospital. You are quite capable. I don't mind helping you. Do you hate Zhan Qi very much? It doesn't matter. After a while, this person will completely disappear from the world."
"Of course, there's also Yan Liang."
"The wife of their family has been looking for him. I have also sent someone to inform her. He will disappear from here soon."
"As for Yu Zhi..."
"Don't worry, you won't have the chance to see him again, Qiao Xi. From now on, you will stay by my side to atone for your sins, and don't even think about running away. Don't forget, Grandma Bai Zhizhi's matter was decided by just one word from me. Do you want to kill someone else because of yourself?"
Like a poisonous snake.
The trembling prey was wrapped and tied up. Just hearing these words made Bai Zhizhi feel a chill on her back.
Why……?
The intense shock brought by this moment made her tremble so much that she almost lost the courage to escape from here.
Everything that happened almost turned her world upside down.
Qiao Xi, Qiao Xi she...
Was it because of her that she was... defiled by F4, and now... because of her, Yan Shen threatened her with her grandmother and forced her to stay by Yan Shen's side and be tortured?
Everything.
Is it... because of her?
Endless cold fear and unprecedented strong chills quickly enveloped Bai Zhizhi's body. She covered her mouth tightly and fell to the ground outside the ward, trembling.
In a confused mind, all the messy thoughts are like a ball of paste.
Can't think of anything.
My vision is so blurry that I can't see anything clearly.
She always thought...it was Qiao Xi who snatched away the person she liked, and she always thought Yan Shen was using her to get close to Qiao Xi.
But……
But... now when she heard the sound of something being broken in the ward, Bai Zhizhi fell into unprecedented confusion.
What did she do to Qiao Xi?
Only this voice remained in her heart.
