Chapter 918: Chapter 918: Passed Out

Qi Siyuan also widened her eyes, staring at Cheng Nanfang in horror. His large hand, hanging by his side, was trembling gently, his eyes a deep red.

He had just lost control of his emotions, and for the first time in his life, he had fiercely slapped his daughter.

The moment he struck her, he had already forgotten about the bullet still lodged in his daughter’s brain.

"Sister! Sister, are you alright?" Cheng Yue was terrified and clung tightly to Cheng Yu, refusing to let go.

Cheng Yu shook her head and reached up to touch her swollen, red cheek: "I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt!"

"Xiaoyu!" Qi Siyuan snapped out of her shock and burst into tears, "Child, are you okay?"

"I’m fine." Cheng Yu had just spoken when her vision blurred, and she felt dizzy and fainted.

"Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu!" Qi Siyuan shouted her name, tears streaming down uncontrollably as she saw no response, "Cheng Nanfang, don’t you know about Xiaoyu’s condition? How could you bring yourself to hit her?"

After his impulsiveness, Cheng Nanfang also felt some regret: "Don’t say anything else, hurry to the hospital."

After a thorough examination in the hospital, the bullet was essentially in the same place, but had begun to press on the optic nerve.

However, it wasn’t severe enough to cause significant damage to her vision at the moment.

Knowing that Cheng Yu was fine, the Cheng Family temporarily calmed down.

After being unconscious for the whole night, Cheng Yu woke up the next day to find Cheng Yue standing in front of her hospital bed.

"Yuyu..."

"I have to go to school now." Cheng Yue gently held her hand, "You rest well."

"Mhm." Cheng Yu nodded, seeing that Cheng Yue was reluctant to leave, she asked, "Is there something else you want to ask?"

"Sister." Cheng Yue looked at her, with complicated emotions in his eyes, "It turns out the man you love is actually him. You asked me to give up on An Hao, but why can’t you give up Qin Jian?"

Cheng Yu’s lips, drained of color, twitched: "He’s already etched in my heart, I can’t erase him. My life is already as such, I just want to live the rest of my days as I please. You are different, you are the sunrise at seven or eight o’clock, you still have a more splendid life ahead of you."

Cheng Yue’s eyes reddened: "Is that the reason you can destroy other people’s marriages? Is this the excuse you can use to trample on your own life?"

Cheng Yu gave a weak smile, leaving Cheng Yue with a view of her back: "You should go. Be careful on the way!"

Cheng Yue watched her in anguish, feeling as though something deep in his heart had shattered in an instant.

An Hao returned to the military district courtyard with Yan Ye, with Ning Yibin’s guard who had picked them up personally.

As soon as An Hao got home, Qin Jian’s call followed.

After chatting a few sentences, An Hao went upstairs to take a shower, and by the time she came back down, Zhang Yun had prepared a table full of delicious food, waiting to welcome her back and remove the dust of travel.

The daughter-in-law had been away for almost two months and had lost a lot of weight when they saw her again.

Zhang Yun was incredibly distressed: "How come you get so thin every time you go to the army? Look at this child, I don’t know what he’s doing? He has no idea how to cherish his wife."

"Mom! It’s not his fault." An Hao happily served her in-laws two bowls of soup and presented them with both hands, "During this vacation, I cycled back and forth every day between the town’s health team and the military family quarters, maybe that’s why I got thin from the exhaustion?"

"Look at you, you were already so lean." Zhang Yun pushed the braised pork in front of An Hao as she spoke, "Eat more, you need to replenish."

"Thank you, Mom!" An Hao said, moved.

Her own mother had died early, and by her teens, she could no longer enjoy motherly love.

Never did she imagine that after getting married, she’d encounter such an understanding and caring mother-in-law.
