Back at the villa, Ji Yi updated Jiang Jingchen that Song Kai had driven Lu Linlin crazy. When the Lu family found her, she was lying naked with a few men.

Lu Linlin had been diagnosed with mental problems, and the Lu family sent her for psychiatric treatment.

Jiang Jingchen asked, “Song Hai’s injuries and the fact that Lu Huai tampered with evidence… Has that been lined up?”

“Yes, Mr. Chen.” Ji Yi replied respectfully.

“Give the evidence to Song Hai and let the Song family and Lu Huai fight each other. As for Lu Linlin…” Jiang Jingchen’s voice became colder as he recalled the wounds on his wife’s face.

“It would be quite normal for a crazy person to have an accident, get injured, or something. What do you think, Ji Yi?”

“I understand, Mr. Chen. I’ll do it myself.” Ji Yi turned and left.

Song Zhou thought for a few seconds before he asked, “Young Master, what should we do with Song Kai?”

Him?”

Jiang Jingchen took a sip of his coffee and frowned in disgust. The coffee had been sitting out for a while and was cold, which made it taste even more bitter.

“When the Lu family and the Song family are at war, if a small potato like him could turn the tables and benefit from it, it would be because he’s capable. If he couldn’t, he’s just a good-for-nothing. We don’t need to waste our effort on him.”

In the hospital ward, Ruan Qi’s hospital bed was big enough for the two girls to sleep together.

In the middle of the night when lights were out, Tang Beibei was woken up by a nightmare. She opened her eyes and checked Ruan Qi’s breathing.

Ruan Qi was still alive.

Tang Beibei felt a lingering fear in her heart and her back was soaked with cold sweat. It took her a while to realize that it was just a nightmare.

Suddenly, she heard the door open. She turned her head in surprise and saw a man walk in.

“Who is it?” Her tone was vigilant.

It’s me, your husband.” The man’s voice was gentle. “Obedient Beibei, why are you awake?”

The man walked up to the bed and carried her to the sofa. He sat her on his lap and checked her expression under the moonlight.

They didn’t turn on the lights so as not to disturb Ruan Qi.

“I had a nightmare and was worried that something bad had happened to Ruan Qi.”

Jiang Jingchen sighed. “I was worried that you wouldn’t sleep well at night, so I came to see you.”

They were speaking very softly, but his worry for her was undeniable.

“Hubby.” She snuggled in his arms. “I’m scared.”

Jiang Jingchen kissed the side of her face. “Don’t be afraid. It’s my fault for not protecting you well, Obedient Beibei.”

Tang Beibei held his face and kissed him on the lips. The two of them made out for a while until they were both breathless. The man snuggled against her shoulder as he said, “Obedient Beibei, you’re not obedient at all. You made me hot all over.”

Tang Beibei chuckled in his embrace. “Then you’ll have to endure it. I’ll make it up to you when I’m better.”

Jiang Jingchen clicked his tongue. The cold night wind rustled the tree branches outside the window. The sound was cold, but he felt warm and fuzzy in his heart.

Ruan Qi felt fine after recuperating in the hospital for two days. She packed her things and was ready to leave the hospital.

She only had a schoolbag filled with toiletries.

Song Zhou handled her discharge paperwork. He returned the papers and Ruan Qi’s identity card to her but she didn’t take them from him and walked straight ahead.

Song Zhou didn’t force it and passed the things to Tang Beibei. Tang Beibei sighed and took the things from him and handed them to Ruan Qi.

Ruan Qi asked, “How much was the bill? I’ll transfer the money to you.”

“It was Song Zhou’s money.”

“… Oh, then help me transfer the money to him.”

No need. It wasn’t much.” Song Zhou said.

Ruan Qi chuckled. “Spending a man’s money for no reason. What do you take me for?”

“… The fees came up to 500 yuan.”

Ruan Qi searched her wallet but couldn’t find 500 yuan in cash, so she could only transfer the money.

She transferred 500 yuan to Song Zhou, but he didn’t accept it. He wanted to tell her that she should rest for a few more days but he received notification on his phone that Ruan Qi had blocked him.

He looked up at her and Ruan Qi said with a smile, “Keeping it takes up memory.”

How much memory would one contact record take up? She just didn’t want to contact him anymore.

The woman continued with a smile, “Hey, it’s not a big deal. We meet often and 1 still have the bearing to say hello. I blocked you because I’m afraid that I won’t be able to control myself and contact you. I shouldn’t disturb you. It’s for your own good.”

“… Miss Ruan, we can still be friends.”

Ruan Qi raised her eyebrows. “Tsk, it’s impossible for us to be friends. I’m definitely keeping you at arm’s length. As for your attitude, that’s your business. I can’t force you.”

Tang Beibei frowned as she listened to their conversation.

When they were leaving the hospital, Tang Beibei offered to give Ruan Qi a lift home but Ruan Qi flung her bag over her shoulder, waved her hand coolly and headed to the bus stop.

Ruan Qi waved goodbye to Tang Beibei with a smile but after their car drove off, she could not maintain her smile. She just looked at the people coming and going. Her bus had come several times, but she did not get on any of them.

The frustration and heartbreak she felt made her feel as though the whole world had abandoned her.

She was sick but she didn’t want to go home.

Going home would make her even worse so she might as well sit here and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Traffic was heavy and it was noisy. There was no peace and quiet to speak about.

Perhaps her heart was desolate at the moment. In order to resist the cold, she had sealed her heart and blocked out all noises.

After sitting in a daze for a while at the bus stop, Ruan Qi straightened her clothes and got on a bus. Instead of going home, she went to the dance studio.

Tang Beibei wasn’t in a good mood when she got out of the car at home. Jiang Jingchen held her hand and it felt cold.

“Are you cold?”

The temperature had dropped again. He was always worried that she would be cold.

“I’m not cold. I’m worried about Qiqi. She’s feeling terrible.”

Jiang Jingchen looked at Song Zhou behind him and nodded. “Everyone goes through a journey. They have a crush, they breakup, they fall in love. Every experience makes us grow.”

Tang Beibei sighed. No one could be blamed for this.

Jiang Jingchen held her hand and warmed it. “Obedient Beibei, you can buy some gifts for Ruan Qi to cheer her up.”

“That’s one way too. Hubby, you’re so smart.”

Jiang Jingchen wanted to distract her. The two of them went upstairs, leaving Song Zhou alone in the living room.

In the past, when Song Zhou sat alone in the living room, he didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with it. However, he now felt that the room was enormous, and his heart was empty.

All the windows of the villa were shut and the house was climate controlled centrally, but the biting cold wind poured over him and he had nowhere to hide.

It was as if something had been silently fermenting, catalyzing, and changing.

It was too late by the time he realized it. He was pining for someone.

After dinner, Tang Beibei went to the study to read.

When she saved Ruan Qi that night, it was because she came across a case in one of the books Professor Chen had asked her to read. She just tried what she had learned and didn’t expect to save Ruan Qi.

It turned out that reading books and learning could really save lives at critical moments.

She had even more confidence and respect for medicine now.

Jiang Jingchen didn’t disturb her and went downstairs to talk to Song Zhou about work.

“How’s the situation with the Song family?”

Song Zhou reported, “Ji Yi send someone to tell Song Hai that Lu Linlin was the one who set him up. That person also gave the evidence to Song Hai. Song Hai immediately went to find Lu Linlin.”

“Lu Linlin was still in the psychiatric ward then. Song Hai agitated her, and she ran out of the hospital and got into a car accident. She fell into a coma and is in the hospital now. Lu Huai went to the Song residence. They should be negotiating now.”

Jiang Jingchen listened nonchalantly as he carried Xiaoan onto his lap and rubbed the puppy’s head.

Although Xiaoan was naughty, he liked to act cute and liked to be rubbed like this. He sat on Jiang Jingchen’s lap obediently with his eyes narrowed.

“Negotiating, huh? They want to marry the crazy woman to the eunuch? What about Song Kai? What is he up to?”

“Nothing suspicious yet. He seems to be behaving.”

Song Zhou’s words meant that he had yet to find out Song Kai’s background and was still unclear about the power behind him.

Jiang Jingchen sneered as he glanced at Song Zhou casually. “How can someone who has tortured Lu Linlin to madness be behaving?”

“I don’t think so either.”

Although Song Zhou didn’t witness it with his own eyes, he heard from Ji Yi that Song Kai’s methods weren’t brilliant, but they were very cruel.

Jiang Jingchen added, “Lu Huai is not the kind of person who negotiates. He would at most appease the Song family and then give them a fatal blow when they least expect it.”

“However, he is still wary of someone in the Song family: Song Yan, who is married to the Jiang family. So, he probably hasn’t made up his mind yet.”

“Wow, I’d really like to see how he’s going to continue this show.”

Lu Linlin’s insolence was caused by Lu Huai’s dotage.. Lu Huai should pay the price for that!
