The sudden voice startled Lin Zhiyi.
The kitchen knife in her hand trembled, cutting directly into her finger.
Blood dripped down, instantly staining the vegetable leaves red.
She reached out to rinse it under water, but Gong Chen gripped her wrist.
"Be careful of infection."
He held her hand, turned around to grab some gauze, and wiped her wound.
"Thank you, I can do it myself, Xiao Ran is here."
After noticing the sorrowful look in Sang Ran’s eyes at the kitchen door, Lin Zhiyi politely pulled away to reduce the distance between them, attempting to withdraw her hand.
But Gong Chen gripped it even tighter: "Don’t move recklessly."
Lin Zhiyi was slightly startled.
Didn’t he hear?
Sang Ran is here.
If it were before, he would never have ignored Sang Ran like this.
Sang Ran also noticed Gong Chen’s attitude; her face turned pale, her body swayed slightly, and she collapsed against the door.
"Xiao Ran!" Lin Zhiyi cried out in panic.
Before her voice faded, the man in front of her swiftly moved.
Gong Chen quickly helped Sang Ran up, deftly opened her bag searching for medicine.
But after emptying everything in the bag, he didn’t find any medicine.
He anxiously asked, "Where’s the medicine?"
Sang Ran looked like she couldn’t catch her breath, her eyes widened, fiercely clutching Gong Chen’s shirt.
"It hurts so much..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi hurriedly came forward to help.
She didn’t know what ailment Sang Ran had; she had only heard Sang Ran mention before that her phantom limb pain was severe.
So subconsciously, she thought Sang Ran’s leg was in severe pain.
She immediately said, "I, I’ll find some painkillers..."
Before she finished speaking, her body was already pushed aside by Gong Chen.
Gong Chen carried Sang Ran and rushed out of the house, slamming the door so hard that Lin Zhiyi felt the ground shake.
The gauze that had been wrapped around Lin Zhiyi’s finger, now like a red-stained maple leaf, fell to the ground and rolled a long way.
It was exactly stepped on heavily by Gong Chen in his anxious footsteps.
Lin Zhiyi stood still, letting the blood drip.
It wasn’t until a numb pain came from her finger that she turned around to wash the blood away with water.
After a while, she carelessly pulled a couple of tissues to wipe it, and her wound stopped bleeding.
Look.
It’s not necessary.
It’s just that, in a daze, she felt as if she deserved to be treated very well.
Lin Zhiyi sneered at herself, rolled up the tissue, pressed it against the wound, and followed out.
...
Hospital.
By the time Lin Zhiyi arrived, Gong Chen had already accompanied Sang Ran into the emergency room.
But the corridor was already crowded with people.
Aside from Sang Li and his group, there was also the hospitalized Old Mr. Gong.
The crowd looked at Lin Zhiyi with varied expressions.
At these words, Lin Zhiyi felt so angry that she forgot about her pain.
Mr. Gong always smeared her with the darkest of intentions.
It seems like such women could only ever please men through their beauty.
She stepped forward to retort, but was blocked by Sang Li.
Sang Li chuckled lightly, "Old man, if you don’t trust Zhiyi, do you not trust Third Young Master either? Or are you saying the Third Young Master is like a lecherous man who can’t control his lower body whenever a woman throws herself at him? If so, I wouldn’t dare let Xiao Ran marry him." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
If not for the situation, Lin Zhiyi would have truly wanted to laugh upon hearing the words "lecherous man".
Wasn’t that exactly what the old man’s earlier years were like?
Women are like clothes.
So whether in the past or now, whenever he found out about Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen together, the one always blamed was Lin Zhiyi.
He believed it was the woman who led the man to err.
And the error was one that any man could make.
Mr. Gong naturally understood the implications in Sang Li’s words, his face turned an angry mix of purple and red instantly.
Seeing that both families were about to argue, Wen Qing hurriedly stepped forward to mediate.
She put on an elder’s dignity, looking at Sang Li.
"Sang Li, the old man has watched Lin Zhiyi grow up; he blames her a little too much only because he’s too worried about Xiao Ran. Besides, what exactly happened last night, who can tell clearly? Xiao Ran is about to marry Third Young Master soon, let’s not ruin everyone’s harmony," she said.
Her face bore a smile, but her words hinted to others, suggesting that whatever Mr. Gong said about Lin Zhiyi, who grew up in the Gong Family, was undoubtedly accurate.
Hearing this, Sang Li frowned slightly.
Lin Zhiyi looked at him and pursed her lips, knowing that anything she said now would seem like a defense, so she didn’t want to make it difficult for him.
She took two steps to widen the distance between them.
Seeing this, a barely noticeable smile flitted across Wen Qing’s eyes, as if mocking Lin Zhiyi’s tactfulness.
Just then, the door to the emergency room was pushed open.
Li Huan walked out, removing his mask, "I can prove it."
