Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Seo Zhenzhen Has Arrived, In Your Sister’s Hospital Room

Two days had passed, and the swelling on Cheng Zhiwei’s face had finally subsided. The bandages were removed, revealing a patchwork of bruises, especially around the corner of her eye, where two stitches had been placed. If Gao Wei’s foot had been a bit heavier, or if it had struck just a little bit deeper, Cheng Zhiwei might have lost an eye.

A piece of good fortune amidst the misfortune.

"You’re recovering very well," Zhang Yuanheng handed the medical report to Cheng Zhiwei, "But your hearing..."

Before he could finish, Guo Cuihua entered from the doorway, and Zhang Yuanheng swallowed the rest of his words.

"Mom." Cheng Zhiwei called out softly.

Guo Cuihua, looking at the bruises on Cheng Zhiwei’s face, trembled and her eyes reddened again, "Does it still hurt, Zhiwei?"

"Look, the swelling has gone down. In a few days, all this bruising will fade too. I’m fine," Cheng Zhiwei said with a light smile. "Zhang Yuanheng just said that I will be discharged soon."

Zhang Yuanheng tactfully left the room.

Guo Cuihua took Cheng Zhiwei’s hand and whispered, "Seo Zhenzhen is here, in your sister’s ward."

Cheng Zhiwei’s forehead twitched, and with a cold, mocking smile, she said, "What is she doing here?"

Guo Cuihua’s expression turned grim, "Your dad brought her."

Cheng Zhiwei felt incredibly annoyed inside. The reason she and Cheng Zhiyin ended up like this was indeed due to He Lanzhi’s instigations, but ultimately it was because of Seo Zhenzhen.

Even Zhou Lin knew better than to bring Seo Zhenzhen along. What was Cheng Shang thinking? Was his head filled with mush?

Or did he actually consider Seo Zhenzhen more important than his own family?

Cheng Zhiwei never thought that she could be so disgusted with Cheng Shang without even seeing him.

She asked Guo Cuihua to bring the wheelchair over, which Wang Mei had specially prepared for her. Wang Mei said it was sunny outside and wanted her to get some sun, and considering the severity of her leg injury, she had arranged for a wheelchair.

She hadn’t felt like going outside, so the wheelchair remained here.

Now, it came in handy.

"But your health..." Guo Cuihua couldn’t bear to see her like this, "It’s my fault for being useless, I couldn’t dissuade your dad."

She didn’t want to come, but being naturally gentle, she really wasn’t one to argue.

"It’s okay, we are the true family," Cheng Zhiwei said, settling into the wheelchair with Wang Mei’s help and rolling towards Cheng Zhiyin’s ward.

She should have known that if Seo Zhenzhen couldn’t see her, she would seek out Cheng Zhiyin.

Before even entering Cheng Zhiyin’s ward, she heard Seo Zhenzhen’s voice, "I know I shouldn’t have come, but there are things I must explain. I had no idea about the things He Lanzhi did. If I had known she had done this to you, I would have stopped her for sure."

"The reason He Lanzhi did this, I believe, is that my only sister was handed over to the police by Zhiwei, leaving me with no one to take care of me. He pitied me and wanted to take revenge for me, so he found Gao Wei and asked him to warn Zhiwei. He never expected Gao Wei to be so heavy-handed and for it to also involve you, I’m really sorry..."

"I apologize on behalf of Young Master He. In the end, this is all my fault, and I am willing to accept any conditions you put forward, just as long as you can forgive him."

Cheng Zhiwei let out a cold laugh and had Wang Mei push her into the room. She looked at Seo Zhenzhen nonchalantly, "Miss Seo, you may want to stop trying to claim a relationship here. My sister only has one sister, and that’s me."

Seo Zhenzhen’s demeanor was very accommodating, "Zhiwei, you’re here."

Cheng Shang’s face darkened, and he glared at Guo Cuihua, resentful that she had taken the initiative to bring Cheng Zhiwei over.

Guo Cuihua pretended not to see his displeasure and sought out Cheng Zhiyin, "Are you alright?"

Cheng Zhiyin’s face was somewhat pale as she clutched Guo Cuihua’s hand and whispered, "I’m fine."

"Miss Seo sure is busy, isn’t she? Taking the blame for her sister’s wrongdoing, and now that He Lanzhi has instigated murder, you’re here to take the fall for her too. Can you actually be in two places at once, or are you the legendary ’Virgin Whore’?" Cheng Zhiwei sneered sarcastically.

Seo Zhenzhen bit her lip, clenching her fist tightly and offering a very humble posture, "I’ve come to apologize to my sister. It’s all because of me that she lost her child and her family was ruined. I am willing to give everything to compensate her."

Cheng Zhiyin’s already pale face turned instantly ugly, as Seo Zhenzhen drove a knife into her heart twice over.

Cheng Zhiwei’s voice was cold to the extreme, "Get out of here."

Cheng Shang went over to Seo Zhenzhen’s side to protect her, his icy gaze fixed on Cheng Zhiwei, "Cheng Zhiwei, you seem to be growing more and more temperamental, ordering people around whimsically. It’s not your place to speak here."

Cheng Zhiwei raised her eyebrows, her look sharp, but her expression filled with sorrow. Her voice trembled with anger, "Now, one of your daughters lies on a hospital bed, and the other sits in a wheelchair, covered with countless injuries, yet here you are, defending the culprit. Dad, is your heart biased?"

Her ironic tone was somewhat mocking in a weird way, and Cheng Shang was so angry that his chest heaved, "All this is thanks to you. What right do you have to speak ill of Zhenzhen here?"

"Uncle, please don’t argue with Zhiwei over me," Seo Zhenzhen said calmly and quietly, "Zhiwei, I’d like to talk to you alone."

Cheng Zhiwei narrowed her eyes and nodded in agreement. She didn’t want to have a real argument with Seo Zhenzhen in front of her parents. Cheng Shang would surely defend Seo Zhenzhen, and it would only upset her mother.

"Fine, let’s talk outside."

Out in the corridor, the aggrieved expression on Seo Zhenzhen’s face vanished in an instant, and the two sat in wheelchairs, facing each other.

Cheng Zhiwei began casually, "Speak your piece."

Believe it or not, I had no idea what He Lanzhi was doing," Seo Zhenzhen sighed softly, "I’ve always wanted to come and explain to you, but Ah Lin wouldn’t let me, so that’s why it took me several days."

Her tone was indifferent, her words boastful.

Cheng Zhiwei smiled as if mocking, her tone flat, "Then you really should have continued to listen to him."

Seo Zhenzhen stared at her for a long time, her lips curling slightly, "I knew you wouldn’t believe me. Ah Lin said the same thing. It seems I really should have listened to him."

She kept calling him ’Ah Lin’, highlighting the closeness of their relationship.

Listening to this made Cheng Zhiwei feel disgusted, and she suddenly laughed, "I heard you were thrown out by He Lanzhi’s mother?"

Seo Zhenzhen’s faintly confident smile froze for a moment then slowly faded away.

What Cheng Zhiwei said was correct; she indeed had been driven out of He Lanzhi’s villa by He Lanzhi’s mother. Madam He had come with a crowd of people and humiliated her to the utmost before throwing her and her belongings out the front door.

"Zhiwei, we used to be best friends," Seo Zhenzhen sighed wistfully, her eyes distant as if she missed those days, "Back then, I was really envious of you. You had parents who loved you, a sister who cherished and cared for you, and even Madam Zhou regarded you as her future daughter-in-law."

"When compared to me, I was nothing but an ant in the mud, one that anyone could step on. I had no choice but to live in the shadow of your aura, forever your little sidekick."

If one were to describe Cheng Zhiwei’s mood at this moment, it would be nothing short of utterly ridiculous.
