Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Xi Cheng, we have to prioritize the Xi family no matter what. Personal grudges, small gains and losses, and even romance are nothing in the face of that, don’t you agree?” Lin Yu said as her slightly cold hand covered Xi Cheng’s. Xi Cheng nodded and quietly uttered, “Thank you; it’s been hard on you.”
Lin Yu gave him a gratified smile. “As long as you understand where I’m coming from, such a small matter is nothing.”
After Lin Yu fell asleep, Xi Cheng left her room with mixed feelings. Lin Yu wasn’t very pretty, and currently, her family background was far from the best. However, there was no doubt that she was the most suitable person to be the Xi family’s young mistress. Some things were indeed better for her to do than doing them himself.
Xi Cheng casually looked at the news on his phone, and the headlines instantly caught his attention—’ Ye Kun actually confessed to Fang Xi in such a high-profile manner? Xi Cheng thought, blood singing in his ears, and he immediately ran out.
Lin Yu shut her eyes tiredly, thinking, ‘Now that the biggest crisis is resolved, I can finally rest for a while.’ She knew that no one gets a free ride in life; only by planning everything step-by-step can one become a winner in life. The same goes for the Lin family.
Lin Zhu and her aunt learned their lesson after Lin Zhu ended up in the police station. It was also a wake-up call for the rest of the Lin family. What her family had to understand now was that Lin Yu could do her best for them, but some things were beyond her. As the Lin family’s eldest daughter, she owed and had a responsibility to her family, so she would sacrifice a lot for them. However, all her sacrifices were based on her willingness and autonomy—no one could order her around.
As for things on the Xi family’s side, Fang Xi wasn’t a cause for concern for Lin Yu. Fang Xi was too talented; that woman would eventually make her own path in the world. Xi Cheng wasn’t worthy of her. And it wouldn’t be bad for Lin Yu if Xi Cheng and the guys’ indestructible friendship fell apart because of Fang Xi.
Lin Yu was happiest about getting rid of her biggest threat, Gu Man. Lin Yu would have nothing to fear as long as she got Gu Man kicked to the curb. Lin Yu knew she was no match for Gu Man because she had to watch her reputation; for the sake of the Lin family, she had to. However, Gu Man didn’t have that problem; she could throw away her reputation and, for the sake of the Gu family, was more than willing to do so. But now that Gu Man was kicked out, Lin Yu could rest easy.
Ye Kun walked out of the intensive care unit, looking exhausted, and took off his isolation gown while something was on his mind. Xi Cheng rushed over and punched him in the face. Caught off guard, Ye Kun staggered back until he hit the wall. When he saw that it was Xi Cheng who attacked him, Ye Kun didn’t say anything and punched Xi Cheng back in the face.
The two fought. The nurse at the side cried out in alarm and quickly called for the doctors. A group of hospital staff finally separated the two, and one of them swiftly ran off to report the incident.
The two boys panted and glared at each other, but neither said a single word. Xi
Cheng grabbed a doctor’s arm and coldly demanded, “How’s Fang Xi? I want to see Fang Xi!”
Ye Kun’s tone was even colder as he replied, “No one’s allowed to see Fang Xi without my permission, especially you!”
Xi Cheng glowered at him. “What?! What right do you have to make that decision?”
Ye Kun scowled back at him. “I certainly have more right to do so than you, and you know it!”
Xi Cheng tried to attack Ye Kun again, but the doctors hurriedly pulled them apart and warned, “If you two don’t settle down, we’ll call security!”
“Guys, stop!” Shi Nian, who had rushed over, shouted at them from his wheelchair. Following behind Shi Nian was Yun Nan, leaning on a walking stick. Seeing them, the doctors and nurses sighed in relief.
Yun Nan’s expression turned icy the moment she saw Xi Cheng. Xi Cheng ignored her and quickly asked Shi Nian, “Shi Nian, how’s Fang Xi? Can I see her?”
Shi Nian looked at his buddy’s haggard appearance and inwardly sighed before calmly saying, “Xi Cheng, Fang Xi is still unconscious. Her condition doesn’t look good. Whether she can wake up or not depends on her own will.”
Xi Cheng’s legs gave way when he heard that. He staggered and muttered, “How can this be?”
Yun Nan snorted. “You should know better than anyone how this happened!”
Xi Cheng looked at Yun Nan guiltily and pleaded softly, “Can I go in and see
“No!” Yun Nan stated firmly. Xi Cheng wanted to rage at her, but he had no choice but to suppress his anger. He stared at Shi Nian pleadingly, hoping he would help.
Shi Nian shook his head gently. “Fang Xi’s relatives aren’t in the country, and
Yun Nan is her best friend, so all of Fang Xi’s matters are decided by Yun Nan. Xi Cheng, as outsiders, it’s not appropriate for us to say anything about your relationship with Fang Xi, but do you really think it’s okay for Auntie Han Yuan to add insult to injury at a time like this?”
“You don’t have to love her, and you can abandon her, but you shouldn’t hurt her again.. She has already left you, and you know very well how she left, so why are you guys still slandering her like this?”
