Chapter 100 - 98: He Waited for Her All Night

Chapter 100: Chapter 98: He Waited for Her All Night

Upon hearing Xu Rongchen’s words, Fu Tingzhou did not step forward, his dark eyes fixated on Qiao Jing’s face. With the last shred of his rationality, he fought hard to restrain himself from beating this woman to the same fate as Zhang Chen.

He would not let this woman off the hook!

Xu Rongchen glanced at Ji Chenzhi, "The Second, take the Third and leave."

Xu Rongchen cast a glance at Qiao Jing, traces of a smile lingering even when he was displeased, "Miss Qiao, we’ll be taking our leave then."

Watching them leave.

Qiao Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

"What’s there to be arrogant about? Fu Tingzhou wouldn’t dare to do anything to me. What can he do? My grandfather is Qiao Xingzhong!!!" At this moment, Qiao Jing said this in defiance, but inside, she was terrified, with snot and tears on her face, making her bravado appear comical.

And Zhang Chen, lying on the ground as if dead, someone immediately dialed 120 and took him to the hospital.

The private room had cleared out.

The young ladies and gentlemen from high society did not dare to linger.

Who would have thought that a mere waiter...

Could be so...

Cheng Yunlang had hit Qiao Jing for her.

Xiao Chi had had an argument with Qiao Jing, whom he had pursued for ten years, for her sake.

And Xu Yiran, Qiao Jing’s cousin, personally carried Tang Xi away.

Moreover...

Fu Tingzhou, for the sake of this woman, had beaten Zhang Chen to a cripple...

-

In the hospital, Tang Xi had fallen asleep.

Xu Yiran was supposed to rest tonight, but he donned his white lab coat and continued working, occasionally glancing at the office to check on Tang Xi’s condition.

The woman was sleeping restlessly.

She was covered with a blanket, but her whole body was trembling.

By midnight, after Xu Yiran finished his work, he returned to his office. Tang Xi was lying in the bed of his resting room with a swollen face showing clear hand marks.

He frowned.

He took an ice pack to apply a cold compress to her.

And the moment he drew near, the woman opened her eyes, showing signs of avoidance, fear, unease, and panic.

Xu Yiran said, "This is the emergency department."

Hearing this, Tang Xi’s expression visibly changed.

Smelling the faint scent of disinfectant in the air, Tang Xi felt an unusual sense of security.

She had only slept briefly, but it was filled with nightmares.

She dreamt that she was violated by Zhang Chen.

She struggled to sit up, Xu Yiran wanted to help her, but she shied away. Xu Yiran’s hand stopped in place, respecting her choice. As he watched her sit up, he said, "It’s already midnight. Don’t worry, you’re safe. You’re now in the resting room of my emergency department. It’s not very busy outside, so I came over... Your clothes... It was a female nurse who helped you change. Rest assured."

As he spoke, he handed her a cup of hot water, placing it in her hands.

Tang Xi clutched the cup, feeling a trace of warmth seeping into her palms.

She seemed to finally come to her senses.

With a hoarse voice, she said, "Doctor Xu, thank you."

"There’s no need to thank me. I should apologize to you. Qiao Jing is my cousin. It was wrong of her to do such a thing to you."

Tang Xi closed her eyes in pain, resting her head against the pillow, unable to utter a word.

If it hadn’t been for Xu Yiran walking in at that time, she feared... she might have already been violated by scum like Zhang Chen.

And in that private room, so many people, each looking at her with indifference.

Being an ordinary person, trying to fight against these wealthy people, was indeed too difficult.

Qiao Jing and Zhang Chen humiliated her, and she was helpless.

Instead, they turned the tables on her, inverting right and wrong.

Do the poor really have no dignity?

Her fingers clenched tightly, stretched taut.

Lying in the hospital bed at this moment, she was too weak to face everything and simply said, "Dr. Xu, thank you."

"You should rest. I had a female doctor check you out, and the child in your belly is fine. The medication for the IV is also safe for pregnant women. I’ll leave now so you can rest."

After finishing speaking, Xu Yiran got up and left.

Tang Xi opened her eyes.

She reached out and touched her abdomen.

Pursing her pale lips, she watched Xu Yiran’s departing figure, her gaze falling softly.

This child was her secret.

"Dr. Xu—"

She mustered up the courage to call out his name, "Thank you for saving me, but I don’t want... anyone else to know about my pregnancy."

Xu Yiran adjusted his glasses, seemingly unsurprised by this news, and simply said, "This is your privacy, don’t worry, I will remind the female doctor as well."

Tang Xi didn’t sleep much that night.

Having gone through today’s events, she hoped she could become stronger.

And she hoped for a stable life.

She even looked forward to divorcing Fu Tingzhou as soon as possible, so she might...

Quickly go to England.

To leave this messy place and start anew.

-

After a night’s rest, she felt much better in the early morning. Physically, she was barely hurt; she had just received a scare and had been slapped twice. Now, the red marks on her cheeks were fading as she looked at the medicines placed on the bedside table.

Xu Yiran was very considerate, he had brought her medicine, water, and even milk and bread.

After applying some ointment, she left the rest room. Seeing Xu Yiran resting on the office chair, she placed his coat over him and then left the emergency room.

She remembered her phone, keys, and bag were still at Nanshan Tang, and felt no choice but to make a trip there.

The incident seemed to have been silenced.

The manager gave her two thousand yuan as compensation, ordering her not to disclose anything.

Tang Xi went to the locker room, took her belongings from the cabinet, and left.

Along the way, she clutched the two thousand yuan in her bag, her lips curling into a scornful smile.

How ludicrous.

Can everything really be solved with money?

She still vaguely remembered the manager’s words, "Wasn’t it just a touch and a torn piece of clothing? You didn’t lose a piece of flesh; two thousand yuan is more than enough... even if Young Master Zhang had slept with you and you lost your virginity, it would only cost ten thousand or so... Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Offend those people, and be careful they don’t crush you with a single finger! If you want to die, just die, but don’t drag me down with you!"

Her shoulders were tensed, trembling.

Tears fell silently and incessantly.

But she was powerless.

The emotions she had suppressed for so long finally erupted.

She didn’t know how long she cried, until the bus arrived. She wiped her tears and got on.

About half an hour later, the bus stopped at the station in front of her house. Tang Xi numbly walked towards the rental, climbing the flights of stairs. Just one floor away from the top, she reached into her bag to get her keys in advance...

The keys got stuck in her bag, and with a forceful tug...

The two thousand yuan also flew out.

Scattering and drifting to the ground.

She bit her teeth so hard her lips nearly bled, took a deep breath to hold back her unraveling emotions, and bent down to pick up the scattered banknotes from the ground.

In her field of vision, suddenly appeared a pair of men’s high-end black leather shoes.

In the air, apart from the musty smell of the walls, there was also...

The familiar scent of ebony.
