Song Yu was so angry—tears were welling up in her eyes. She could not talk sense with Mu Sisi.

Qi Chengyue was stunned as she stared at Mu Sisi. She never thought that she could be so shameless and wanted to take advantage of Qi Chengzhi while he was in bed.

“Mu Sisi, I can’t stand you anymore!” Song Yu was angry beyond belief. “You could do anything just to get what you want. You’re disgusting!”

Yu Qianying looked at Mu Sisi in disbelief. She knew that this was the woman who stripped herself naked to seduce Qi Chengzhi but she could not believe that she went so far this time around.

Qi Chengzhi also chose to tear open his wound rather than letting her get her way with him.

Mu Sisi pursed her lips together. She did not think that she did anything wrong—if Qi Chengzhi did not resist, how could he have gotten hurt? She just wanted a kid—a last souvenir. He did not even want to grant her that.

Mu Sisi was already willing to do such a thing, and he would not have lost anything in the process. Could he not just accept it willingly? Now she completely lost her dignity.

“Who are you to talk about me? You ditched your parents for money and power, all for Brother Chengzhi. You even helped him to hide the real reason your family went bankrupt!” Mu Sisi looked at Song Yu in disdain and mocked, “Even after your parents found out about the truth, you chose to cut communications with them to keep your position as the young Madam of the Qi family. You’re saying I’m the one who would do anything to get what I want? This is the pot calling the kettle black!”

Yu Qianying walked over all of a sudden. “Miss Mu, is it? This is our family matter, how did you know about this? None of us told anyone else about this.”

Mu Sisi was stunned for a while before shouting louder, “If you didn’t want anyone to know about it, then don’t do it! Nothing in this world is completely confidential!”

Yu Qianying squeezed her eyes together and said, “When Yu Keyao came to us and told us the truth behind the Song family’s bankruptcy, I thought about it after that and I realized something—Yu Keyao could barely sustain herself at this point, she would never have the sources to know about something this secretive unless someone told her about it. I haven’t given it much thought because I was pissed, but now it seems like I don’t need to find out the truth anymore.”

Mu Sisi scoffed. “Find out what? There’s no such thing as an air-tight lid in this world. Did you think that other than you guys and the Qi family, no one will find out about it? You don’t have to imply anything. You’re Song Yu’s parents, aren’t you? You guys have the same character as Song Yu—you simply accuse others. Now that you know Brother Chengzhi is the mastermind of your family’s bankruptcy, you’re not even mad and instead, you’re here to try to impress him. I guess this runs in the family. You don’t even care about such a huge issue!”

“Enough, Mu Sisi!” Song Yu was trembling from anger. “You can wrongly accuse me, don’t drag my parents into this!”

Song Yu wanted to go over but she was held back by Qi Chengzhi. He did not have much strength left in him. He did not even have the strength to speak. He could only hold Song Yu’s hand and stop her from moving.

“You had the guts to do it but you can’t stand people talking about it?” Mu Sisi scoffed with no remorse. “Move!” she said to Qi Chengyue.

“You…” Qi Chengyue was lost for words. She was panting from anger and said, “I’ve never met such a shameless and unreasonable person like you!”

“Don’t you dare bully me with a crowd!” Mu Sisi said with her chin up in the air.

“I do want to try bullying you with a crowd!” Qi Chengyue said in anger. “Seeing how our family refuses to stoop to your level, you think you can offend us time and time again?”

“What did I do? I didn’t want to hurt Brother Chengzhi. Was I the one who tore his wound apart?” Mu Sisi argued.

Qi Chengyue was so angry, she did not know how to react to her. All of a sudden, Qi Chengzhi’s weak voice was heard saying, “Let her go.”

“Brother!” an unsatisfied Qi Chengyue looked at Qi Chengzhi.

At this moment, Mu Sisi did not dare to look at Qi Chengzhi as well—her back was facing him the whole time. She did not see Qi Chengzhi nodding towards Qi Chengyue.

“I don’t want to hear her voice again, I’m annoyed.” Qi Chengzhi sounded weak and cold.

Qi Chengyue finally moved unwillingly. Mu Sisi panicked a little—she ran out after hearing what Qi Chengzhi said.

After Cheng Dongge closed the door, Qi Chengzhi said, “Chengyue, call the elders at home and tell them the truth.”

Qi Chengyue nodded and called Grandmother Qi right away.

Grandmother Qi was sipping on tea gifted to her by the monk when she picked up the call. Xia Wenna and Guan Liya were both giving out the last course of dinner—seeing that the call was from Qi Chengyue, Grandmother Qi picked it up and asked, “Chengyue, are you at the hospital yet?”

Qi Chengyue felt like it was hard to talk about it. She walked towards the window and whispered, “Grandma, Mu Sisi…”

Grandmother Qi’s facial expression darkened as she listened to what Qi Chengyue said. After finding out that Qi Chengzhi’s wound was torn apart again, Grandmother Qi stood up with force.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” Xia Wenna realized the change in her expression and walked over with the ladle.

Grandmother Qi hung up, and she was trembling with anger. “That Mu Sisi is too shameless! If we continued to keep quiet, she will assume that the Qi family is an easy target!”

Xia Wenna thought about Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu when she heard the name Mu Sisi. Her expression changed while she asked, “Did something happen to Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu?”

“That Mu Sisi, who knew where she heard about Chengzhi’s injury from. She went to see him and tried to take advantage of him while he’s hurt and can’t move. A woman trying to take advantage of a man—don’t you think she’s shameless?” Grandmother Qi was so angry—she had never hated another woman this much in her life.

Xia Wenna gasped in shock. She asked nervously, “Then… did she… do it? Did Song Yu bump into them -”

“What are you thinking!” Grandmother Qi glared at Xia Wenna and said, “Chengzhi tore his wound apart just to avoid her. Luckily Chengyue and lot reached in time. His condition had improved a little before this, but now he has to start from zero again. Don’t you agree that Mu Sisi is despicable?”

“She is!” Xia Wenna was so mad, she clenched her teeth while stomping the ground.

Aside from the fact that Qi Chengzhi had to recover from ground zero again, if Mu Sisi had her way with him—Qi Chengzhi’s marriage with Song Yu would be over.

Although Song Yu usually seemed gentle and approachable, she would become a completely different person when it came to relationships. Even if Qi Chengzhi was forced, Song Yu might not be able to take it. On top of that, Song Yu loved Qi Chengzhi so much, and the more she was in love, the less possible it was for her to accept it. If Song Yu suffered another health problem because of this, what would happen? Even if the grandchild could be born without issues, he could face the same fate as Qi Youxuan—to be born into a single-family.

Xia Wenna could not help but overthink the situation.

When she thought about how Mu Sisi nearly destroyed the happiness of her son and daughter-in-law, and by extension the happiness of her grandson, she was mad.

“Are you done giving out meals?” Grandmother Qi asked. She was eager to go home and get to the hospital to see Qi Chengzhi.

“Just finished,” Guan Liya turned around and replied.

“Clean up quickly, we’re going to the hospital,” Grandmother Qi said.

They cleaned up and headed straight to the hospital. Grandmother Qi gave Grandfather Qi a call on the way there, while Xia Wenna and Guan Liya each called Qi Zhongliang, Qi Zhongxun, and Qi Chenglin to tell them to get to the hospital after work for an urgent matter.

…

…

Qi Chengzhi’s face changed as he saw the whole Qi family gathered before him. Nearly getting taken advantage of by Mu Sisi was not something to be proud of, and he was surrounded by these people. Based on the half smile on Qi Chenglin’s face, he suspected that Yan Beicheng and lot knew about what happened tonight.

“Old man, what do you think we should do about this? We can’t let a young girl keep on harassing us time and time again—to put it nicely, we don’t want to stoop to her level. However, if we keep doing so and she keeps coming back for more, when will this end?” Grandmother Qi sat on the sofa with anger and took a huge gulp of tea.

She came in and saw Qi Chengzhi’s pale face as well as the red circles around Song Yu’s eyes. She got furious again thinking about what Mu Sisi had done.

Grandfather Qi was silent. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Lao Wei, I need to talk to you about something. Does your family have a partnership with the Mu family for setting up a store for their brand? Yes, they plan to open a store in your family mall, aren’t they? It’s like this…”

Grandfather Qi went on to chat with Grandfather Wei. Qi Chenglin nudged the WeChat group, [Is everyone online?]

[I’m here, what’s up?] Yan Beicheng wrote.

“Tell us what’s up,” Han Zhuoli wrote.

“I’m not in B town, leave me a message,” Gui Zhiqian wrote.

“.” Chu Zhaoyang wrote.

Han Zhuoli asked, “Lao Chu, what does that full stop mean?”

“Haha, good day Master Lin, Master Yan, Master Han, and Master Qian. I’m Mister Chu’s assistant, he said he was too lazy to type so he sent a full stop to indicate his presence,” Chu Zhaoyang’s message read.

“Your Mister Chu barely speaks, but he found a talkative assistant aha,” Gui Zhiqian wrote.

“.” Chu Zhaoyang wrote.

Everyone knew this was Chu Zhaoyang himself.

“Quiet, I need your help,” Qi Chenglin wrote.

“What’s wrong, why do you sound so serious?” Yan Beicheng asked.

“Gui Zhiqian, when will you be back?” Qi Chenglin asked.

“The day after tomorrow,” Gui Zhiqian replied.

Qi Chenglin wrote, “It’s nothing much, I just want your help to limit MU.’s growth in B town—even better if they can’t grow at all. I heard the Mu family isn’t doing as well as they used to. Quite a few of MU.’s stores overseas have been closed down, that’s why they plan to do their best to expand domestically. They want to increase their market share while there are still few brands with such products in the country, They’ve put in quite a bit of effort on this in the country, but the Qi family does not want them to expand at all.”

“Why? Did Mu Sisi do something again?” Gui Zhiqian asked.

“…” Qi Chenglin was speechless. “She offended our family quite badly this time around.”

He could make a joke about Qi Chengzhi himself, but as a man, he knew that this was an embarrassing matter. He could not announce it on behalf of Qi Chengzhi—even if it was just Yan Beicheng and lot. Qi Chengzhi could be mocked by Yan Beicheng and the others for the rest of his life.

“When Gui Zhiqian comes back, we can go to the Red Roof the night after tomorrow and work out the details,” Qi Chenglin said.

No one objected to the idea—it was a little hard to deal with MU. alone. Although the Mu family came in from abroad, they had quite a bit of standing. If it was just the families sanctioning them together, it was not that big of a deal.

Grandmother Qi called the doctor and asked for details again. The doctor replied patiently, “There are not many side effects this time around. The original stitching was healing well and there would’ve been a scar; but it would have been tidy, pretty, and not big at all. However, after this tear and another round of stitching, there will be a huge scar. It won’t look good. Other than that, there are no side effects and we can remove the stitching in two weeks.”

Grandmother Qi nodded. She was relieved—the scar did not matter. Qi Chengzhi was a man anyway and Song Yu would not be disgusted with him. It was just that Mu Sisi’s antics were so disgusting, Grandmother Qi was still feeling annoyed about it. The more she thought about it, the harder it was for her to calm down.

It did not help that Mu Sisi only caused indirect harm—she did not do anything that hurt Qi Chengzhi directly. It was not possible to sue her for it.

The hospital director heard about the incident and came in with the head of the surgical department along with the nurse who had let Mu Sisi in.

“We’re really sorry about what happened today. It was the fault of our nurse,” the director said.

Grandmother Qi was a reasonable person. She shook her head and said, “I don’t blame her for this. She wouldn’t have known that Mu Sisi was like that—a wolf in sheep’s clothing. No one would suspect anything when she says she’s here to visit—you shouldn’t trouble the young nurse about it.”

“Thank you, Madam,” the nurse said quickly and let out a sigh of relief.

“I’ll get someone to send Mu Sisi’s photo to you. Please send it out to the hospital staff and make sure she never comes close again,” Grandmother Qi added.

“Don’t worry, we will increase our security around here and make sure something like this never happens again,” the hospital director said.

The director left with the crowd, and Song Yu asked the elders to go home and rest. She called the confinement center and had them deliver a bowl of porridge. Qi Chengzhi was supposed to be able to have a little solid food today, but after what happened, he had to be back on soft food for a few days.

Qi Chengzhi was depressed. One of his hands was hooked to the IV, and there was barely any strength in the other. He could only let Song Yu feed him. Qi Chengzhi barely had any appetite—he was full after a bowl. Song Yu cleaned his mouth before eating some of it herself.

She went to the kitchen to clean up and carried a small pail of warm water from the toilet. There was a towel on her arm.

Qi Chengzhi gave her a disapproving look. “Why didn’t you get someone to carry it, you’re carrying such a heavy pail yourself.”

“This weight is nothing.” Song Yu placed the pail on the bedside table. She went back to the toilet and brought out the facial wash and sponge before sitting on the bed to clean Qi Chengzhi’s face. “Close your eyes.”

Qi Chengzhi closed his eyes and felt Song Yu’s fingers circle and massage his face. Her fingers were lean and soft—they felt good. After cleaning it, she used the sponge to wipe his face as well. She changed the pail of water a few times until the water became clear. She went to fill the pail with hot water again and unbuttoned Qi Chengzhi’s pajamas to clean his body.

Seeing the new bandage on his body, Song Yu pursed her lips and said, “Everything was fine, now the wound is torn open again and you need to recover all over again. Even after that, there will be a huge scar.”

“I don’t mind the scar.” Qi Chengzhi smiled, and his voice was clear. “I’m a man, I don’t care about them as long as you don’t think it’s ugly.”

Song Yu looked at him as she dipped the towel in hot water to wipe him from the neck. She smiled and said, “I can just look at your face.”

Qi Chengzhi lifted his brow and realized how she was wiping his body. He laughed and said, “Are you sterilizing my body?”

Song Yu did not stop. She glared at him and said, “What are you talking about, as if I did not clean you yesterday.”

Song Yu avoided the areas where his bandage was and wiped downwards with care. She was just wiping his chest—the bandage was wrapped around his abdomen and his ribs.
