Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Don’t Want to See Cheng Shang

Guo Cuihua and Cheng Shang rushed back from An City, covered in dust, and went straight to the hospital upon arrival.

The two split up, with Guo Cuihua visiting Cheng Zhiyin and Cheng Shang visiting Cheng Zhiwei,

Cheng Shang was stopped outside the door, and Wang Mei spoke softly, "Young Madam Zhou hasn’t woken up yet, please wait a little longer before entering, Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Shang frowned and snorted coldly before leaving.

After Wang Mei and the others left, she entered the ward, and Cheng Zhiwei was awake.

With such a big incident, it was certain that Mr. and Mrs. Cheng would come back. Cheng Zhiwei had anticipated this and had instructed Wang Mei early on that if Cheng Shang came, to stop him at the door.

"Young Madam, are you really not going to see him?" Wang Mei asked, "I see Mr. Cheng looks very haggard, he must be worried about you too."

That was the reaction a normal father would have.

Unfortunately for Cheng Zhiwei, Cheng Shang had never been a normal father.

"No," said Cheng Zhiwei indifferently. If last time Cheng Shang could have said a word or two of justice for Cheng Zhiyin, firmly stood behind her supporting her divorce, or if he had just visited at home that day, perhaps things wouldn’t have developed towards the worst outcome.

Gao Wei was so brazen because he was sure of playing on Cheng Shang’s vain self-esteem.

Cheng Shang only cared about his reputation, not the life and death of his two daughters, so there was nothing she needed to see him for.

In Cheng Zhiyin’s ward, Guo Cuihua had hardly spoken a few words with Cheng Zhiyin when she saw Cheng Shang enter with an ugly expression.

Guo Cuihua asked in surprise, "Why are you back so soon, is Zhiwei asleep?"

Cheng Shang scoffed disdainfully, saying sarcastically, "She is now the honorable Young Madam Zhou, how could someone as common as us see her casually?"

Guo Cuihua was speechless and rolled her eyes, "Zhiwei is not that kind of person, she must be resting."

Cheng Zhiyin also said, "Yes, my sister has been seriously injured this time, she must be resting. You stay with me here for a while, and we’ll go see her when she wakes up."

She had visited Cheng Zhiwei the moment she woke up, and seeing Cheng Zhiwei wrapped in bandages and surrounded by various devices, she still felt heartache thinking about it now, looking no different from a patient in intensive care.

If it wasn’t for Zhang Yuanheng repeatedly assuring that he was responsible for Cheng Zhiwei’s life and health, she would suspect that he didn’t want to save Cheng Zhiwei, and that’s why he didn’t arrange for her to be in intensive care.

Cheng Shang sat down and asked briefly about Cheng Zhiyin’s condition before saying directly, "I heard that Gao Wei has been arrested?"

At the mention of this name, Cheng Zhiyin’s face was still pale, "Yes."

Cheng Shang was still furrowing his brow, "A person like Gao Wei... if you had wanted a divorce when I asked you last time, his trouble wouldn’t have affected our family now."

Cheng Zhiyin bit her lip, vividly recalling the last time Cheng Shang came back, the first thing he did was to blame her for not using Gao Wei’s affair to threaten him, after all, that was someone else’s privacy.

It was only later that he asked her if she was willing to get a divorce.

How could she dare to divorce? Gao Wei had photos of Cheng Zhiwei, and she was afraid that those photos would spread, and she was afraid of Cheng Shang finding out about them.

But now, it was useless to talk about these things.

She assumed her usual attitude, bowing her head and admitting her mistake. "I’m sorry, Dad, it’s my issue that has affected you all."

After all, if she had successfully divorced Gao Wei last time, then his domestic violence and murder would have nothing to do with the Cheng family; but at present, Gao Wei still bore the title of the Cheng family’s son-in-law.

When others mentioned it, they would talk about how the Cheng family’s son-in-law had done such things, which Cheng Shang could not bear.

Guo Cuihua immediately glared at Cheng Shang, "What’s the point of talking about this now? That scumbag Gao Wei, daring to bully Zhiyin like that, deserves to be in jail."

"Zhiyin shouldn’t have kept it a secret either," Cheng Shang said, frustrated.

Cheng Zhiyin grasped Guo Cuihua’s hand tightly, still not daring to reveal everything, she could only lower her eyes and change the subject, "How come you suddenly came back?"

She hadn’t contacted them, and Cheng Zhiwei definitely wouldn’t have either.

Previously, when she suffered domestic abuse and her younger sister had trouble at the hotel, their first thought was to keep it from them.

Guo Cuihua said, "It was Meng Qiancheng who gave us a call, said that something happened to you all and asked us to come back."

Meng Qiancheng?

Cheng Zhiyin thought, of course, it was his kindness.

After some idle chat, Lin Yu came over, talked to Guo Cuihua about Cheng Zhiyin’s situation for a while, and then they went out together.

"Zhiyin, what exactly happened?" Cheng Shang suddenly asked.

Cheng Zhiyin moved her lips in surprise, her voice somewhat altered, "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

Cheng Shang paced restlessly on the spot, his tone stern, "I heard that your injury this time was because of Cheng Zhiwei?"

Cheng Zhiyin’s heart skipped a beat and she immediately explained, "No, Dad, it’s not like that. Gao Wei despised me for not being able to have children and beat me up. My sister got injured trying to save me; it was my fault that she got involved."

She took all the blame upon herself.

But Cheng Shang did not trust her words; instead, he walked over to the window with his hands behind his back, his serious face filled with emotions that made Cheng Zhiyin anxious.

She couldn’t help but speak up again, "Dad, I don’t know what you’ve heard, but it was indeed Zhiwei who saved me this time. If it weren’t for her, I would still be tortured by Gao Wei."

"How does she know so clearly about what’s going on between you and Gao Wei?"

Cheng Zhiyin was silent for a few seconds, then emphasized with increased intensity, "That’s because I told her and asked for her help."

Cheng Shang’s expression was still unpleasant, "I know what kind of person she is. You don’t have to speak well of her, Zhiyin. You’re completely embroiled because of her, she deserves it."

"It’s not like that, Dad," Cheng Zhiyin immediately retorted loudly, "I don’t know what you’ve been told, but it’s not as you think."

"You rest up. I’m going out for a bit," Cheng Shang said, glancing at his cellphone before rushing out.

Cheng Zhiyin bit her teeth in anger, wondering who had been stirring up trouble in front of her dad.

In front of Cheng Zhiwei’s ward, Lin Yu, gripping Guo Cuihua, apologized with guilt, "I really feel terrible. You trusted me with your wonderful daughter, and now she’s been so severely injured, I can’t stop feeling remorseful."

Guo Cuihua did not blame Lin Yu; she knew how Lin Yu treated Cheng Zhiwei, and it was Gao Wei who was responsible for her daughters’ injuries, not Lin Yu.

"Do we still need to talk like this between us?" Guo Cuihua chided, "If we’re really to blame, it’s because her father and I failed to see Gao Wei’s true character, which is so despicable."

"Come with me to see Zhiwei," Lin Yu urged, pulling her into the ward.

"Isn’t she unconscious?" Guo Cuihua asked in surprise.

Lin Yu looked around and, seeing no sign of Cheng Shang, whispered, "Zhiwei didn’t want to see her dad and had someone say that on purpose."

Guo Cuihua laughed and cried at the same time, "This child."
