Chapter 7 What's the rush? Just ordinary friends
Bang!
There was a loud bang.
Rong Zhoubai broke into the house through the door.
He rushed straight into the bedroom and frowned suddenly when he saw the scene in front of him.
Qu Ge was tied naked to the bed, his face pale as paper, bloodless from the torture all night.
When she saw him, she lowered her head awkwardly to avoid his gaze and struggled to squeeze out a few words from her throat.
"Help me, help me untie it... please."
Only then did Rong Zhoubai realize how inappropriate his staring gaze was.
He immediately took off his motorcycle jacket and covered her thin body.
He didn't have the patience to slowly untie the knot in his tie, so he simply got a fruit knife from the kitchen and cut the damn tie.
The moment he regained his freedom, Qu Ge felt an uncontrollable chapped nose.
The next second, tears began to fall like beads from a broken string, unable to stop.
She curled up tightly into a ball and cried under the quilt.
Rong Zhoubai knew that he shouldn't be here at this time.
He walked out of the bedroom tactfully and closed the door for her.
It was not until ten minutes later that Qu Ge came out dressed.
She had already wiped the tears from her face and put on her usual calm expression.
"Thank you." She said to Rong Zhoubai, "But why did you come to see me so early?"
"Since you didn't reply to my message, I came up to check."
In fact, Rong Zhoubai never left last night.
He pretended to leave on his bike, then went around in a circle and came back.
For some reason, he always felt that she would be in danger.
It was probably a somewhat unscientific sixth sense that told him he should come back and take a look.
After all, when Qiao Xuan got out of the car, his gloomy expression was not very good-looking.
Rong Zhoubai went and came back, and soon saw Qiao Xuan coming downstairs, getting into the car and leaving.
The light in the small window of the Qu family was still on and was not turned off all night.
Rong Zhoubai sent a message to Qu Ge.
She didn't reply.
He called again.
Still no one answered.
Once uneasy thoughts arise, they will quickly take root in the mind.
That's why he rushed upstairs, just wanting to confirm with his own eyes whether she was safe.
Fortunately, he came.
He was extremely grateful at this moment.
In front of me, Qu Ge's slender wrists were bruised and purple from being restrained all night.
Rong Zhubai frowned, stood up, pulled her and walked out.
Qu Ge was bewildered: "Where to?"
"Of course it's the hospital."
…
Central Hospital.
I was just discharged from the hospital yesterday and now I'm here again.
Qu Ge was almost developing a psychological trauma about this place.
The surgeon carefully examined the scar on Qu Ge's wrist and sighed, "How did you get that?"
“…”
Qu Ge didn't know how to start for a moment.
Rong Zhoubai was dissatisfied with her slowness and answered for her: "I was tied up with a tie all night."
As expected.
The next second, the doctor looked at them with a strange look in his eyes.
"You youngsters..." The doctor pursed his lips, "Alas, don't play so vigorously next time. If you had come a little later, your palm would have been necrotic!"
"Okay, doctor, I understand."
Rong Zhoubai responded naturally, with a frown on his face in front of the doctor, looking like a good boy.
Qu Ge glanced at him, not knowing whether to say he was shameless or to thank him for not letting her deal with this embarrassing situation alone at this time.
After the medicine was prescribed, the two walked out of the clinic.
When the elevator door opened, the person who walked out was Qiao Xu'an.
Qiao Xuan was holding some food in his hand and was about to walk hurriedly towards the ward.
Qu Ge then remembered that he left last night to accompany Qiao Wanwan to the hospital for treatment.
He really held Qiao Wanwan in the palm of his hand and cherished her dearly.
He refused to delegate even small tasks like buying breakfast to others.
Thinking of what he said last night, "Wait for me to come back", Qu Ge just found it ridiculous.
Looking at Qiao Xu'an in front of him, how could he still remember how she was tied up by him at home and left to die?
If Rong Zhubai hadn't appeared in time, her hands would have been ruined...
Seeing Qu Ge appear here, Qiao Xuan was surprised at first, then frowned unhappily.
His eyes fell on Rong Zhubai.
He had only been gone for a few hours, and she was already looking for this man again?
Qiao Xian was burning with jealousy, his face as black as burnt charcoal.
"What are you doing in the hospital?" he asked Qu Ge, his tone frighteningly cold.
The person Qu Ge least wants to deal with right now is him.
How dare this man ask her what she was doing in the hospital?
It’s all thanks to him!
She turned her head away, pretending not to see him, and pulled Rong Zhoubai towards the elevator.
Seeing that she actually dared to hold someone else's hand in front of him, Qiao Xu'an was so angry that he gritted his teeth, his jaw was so tight that it felt sore, and his fists were clenched until the knuckles turned white.
He suddenly raised his hand to block the elevator door that was about to close, not caring that his palm was almost pinched off, and rushed into the elevator to pull Qu Ge out.
"Speak clearly."
"What exactly do you want me to say?"
"Tell me who he is!"
"A friend."
"What friends?"
"Just friends!"
Qu Ge frowned and shook off Qiao Xuan's hand.
There were people coming and going around her, and she really didn't want to continue this meaningless entanglement with him.
Rong Zhubai stood behind him, leaning against the wall with his hands folded, watching the fun.
Qiao Xuan's gaze was like a sharp blade, moving back and forth on his body several times, as if he wanted to cut off a few pieces of flesh from him.
When the stalemate reached a breaking point, a middle-aged woman's urging voice came from the other end of the corridor.
"Xu An, why does it take so long to buy food? Who are you talking to?"
Qiao Xuan'an's mother Liu Yuan appeared in front of Qu Ge wearing a pair of high heels.
When she saw Qu Ge, Liu Yuan's face immediately showed undisguised disgust.
"Why are you here?" She glanced at her.
It was clearly a question, but she didn't give Qu Ge a chance to reply.
She snatched the thing from Qiao Xu'an's hand and said with a somewhat complaining tone, "Wanwan has been hungry for a long time, and you still have the mind to talk about love here!"
"Sorry, Mom."
The Qiao family has strict rules, and Qiao Xuan has always been respectful to his parents.
But Qu Ge always felt that Mr. and Mrs. Qiao did not deserve such respect.
Because they always acted superior and never treated poor people like her as equals.
Just like now, Liu Yuan glanced at her, and every word she said was harsh.
"Xu An, I've told you so many times, don't just play with a woman like this! I know exactly what she's thinking when she comes from the slums! If you really get entangled with her, you'll never be able to get rid of her!"
Liu Yuan's sarcastic expression is exactly the same as her daughter Qiao Wanwan's.
Qiao Xuan was like a mute with his tongue cut off in front of her. No matter how she mocked Qu Ge, he never said a word in her defense.
Qu Ge always tolerated and gave in to him for his sake.
Now, she can't stand it anymore.
"Mrs. Qiao, I think you misunderstood. Now it's not me who is pestering your son, it's him who is pestering me!"
"What did you say?!"
When Liu Yuan heard that Qu Ge dared to talk back to her, her round almond-shaped eyes widened.
Qu Ge spoke each word with great force: "I have wanted to break up with Qiao Xu'an for a long time, but he has been pestering me all the time! I would also like to ask Madam Qiao to take good care of your son and don't let him bother me again!"
"you!……"
Liu Yuan bared her teeth and was about to curse.
A second before she had her attack, Qu Ge quickly walked into the elevator and disappeared from the sight of Qiao's mother and son.
For a moment as the elevator went downstairs, she could still hear Liu Yuan's angry screams outside.
"You uneducated little bitch! Is this the woman you're attracted to?!"
…
"laugh……"
In the elevator, Rong Zhoubai couldn't help laughing out loud.
Qu Ge rolled his eyes at him.
"What's so funny?"
"It's rare to see Liu Yuan get humiliated, it's quite interesting."
"Do you know her?"
Rong Zhoubai called Liu Yuan's name directly, and from his tone it seemed that they had known each other for a long time.
But it seemed that Liu Yuan didn't know him just now.
Qu Ge frowned warily. The last thing she wanted now was to have anything to do with anyone related to the Qiao family.
Rong Zhoubai shrugged: "I wouldn't call it acquaintance, I've only met him once."
"when?"
He had been in Canada all along, but he had a chance encounter with a wealthy lady from China.
Qu Ge became more and more curious about the man in front of him who always looked lazy.
As the two were talking, the elevator door opened and several young people who looked like students walked in.
One of them raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Qu Ge, and then immediately pulled the person he was traveling with and started biting his ear.
Qu Ge couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, only vaguely heard a few words.
"It's her..."
"That woman on the trending search..."
Qu Ge's right eyelid twitched twice for no reason, and he had a sense of unease.
She immediately opened her phone to check the trending searches.
Sure enough, she once again stood at the forefront of the storm...
"Breaking news! Jiang University's campus belle attends a high-class party and plays multiplayer games!"
Under the eye-catching title is a photo of Qu Ge having milk splashed on his face by Qiao Wanwan at Weiyuan Villa last night.
The photo has been photoshopped.
A photo that was originally nothing special now looks like it has become restricted!
The background of the photo is a group of men with their faces obscured by mosaics. Surrounded by a group of men in suits and ties, Qu Ge is disheveled, his hands clasped over his chest, his face covered in an unknown white stain...
For a moment, Qu Ge felt as if the earth was spinning before his eyes.
She never thought that this absurd farce would continue to this day, like a nightmare that she could never wake up from!
There is no need to guess, you will know that behind all this must be Qiao Wanwan's careful planning.
Otherwise, no one would dare to post photos of last night's Weiyuan party online and distort the facts like this.
Everyone knew that Qu Ge had Qiao Xu'an as her backer, so they didn't dare to offend her easily.
Except Qiao Wanwan.
Only she knew who was the most important person in Qiao Xu'an's heart.
Those who are favored are always fearless!
Qu Ge continued to scroll down and saw that the comment section already had 9999+ comments.
"A great film to watch! The queen of paid dating is worthy of her reputation!"
"Excuse me politely, does anyone have her contact information? I have a friend who..."
"When will Jiangzhou University deal with this matter? It's so embarrassing to go to the same school as her! @Jiangzhou University Publicity Department"
"I heard her mother used to be a hostess in a hotel. Is she following in her mother's footsteps?"
"So you're an oral artist who inherited the family tradition. How disrespectful!"
Countless insults appeared on Qu Ge's screen one after another.
No matter how she flipped through the pages, she couldn't find a single message defending her.
It’s okay for those people to scold her.
But they didn't even spare her deceased mother!
Uncontrollable rage burned at Qu Ge's mind. She tasted the rusty resentment between her lips and teeth, and every nerve in her body was tense, clamoring for her injustice...
