Chapter 41: Chapter 41 He hates you, wishing you were dead

Cheng Zhiwei didn’t meet Xu Tian at the police station; Meng Qiancheng drove her back to Sparkling Sky City, dropping her at the entrance. He gave her a fervent reminder as he was leaving, "Remember, speak as little as possible, avoid cold drinks, and call me immediately if you feel unwell."

Cheng Zhiwei nodded, smiled toward Meng Qiancheng, and gestured for him to be at ease.

As she entered the password to open the door and was about to go inside, Meng Qiancheng grabbed her wrist again.

"Weiwei, I just bought an apartment. If you don’t want to live here anymore, you can move to my place," Meng Qiancheng said in a hushed, sighing tone, feeling guilty for not having protected Cheng Zhiwei well enough and allowing her to experience the life she currently found herself in.

Just as Cheng Zhiwei was about to shake her head to refuse, the half-open door was suddenly pulled open from the inside. Zhou Lin, dressed in a beige home suit with a cold expression and dark eyes, looked at the spot where Meng Qiancheng held Cheng Zhiwei’s wrist and sneered slightly, "Doctor Meng, thank you for your trouble, sending my wife home so late."

He deliberately emphasized the word "wife" to remind them of their respective statuses.

Meng Qiancheng slowly let go of her wrist, maintaining a smile on his lips but with a cold sarcasm in his eyes, "You still remember she’s your wife and not just some random passerby."

Cheng Zhiwei turned her head and, without a trace of emotion, glanced at Zhou Lin. She tugged on Meng Qiancheng’s clothes and pointed outside the door, indicating for him to leave.

Understanding her, Meng Qiancheng tenderly ruffled Cheng Zhiwei’s hair in front of Zhou Lin, "I’ll come to pick you up tomorrow morning."

Cheng Zhiwei nodded.

Meng Qiancheng took one more deep look at Zhou Lin before turning to leave.

Cheng Zhiwei waited until Meng Qiancheng’s car had departed before turning to enter the house, never looking directly at Zhou Lin from beginning to end.

It was the ultimate indifference.

Zhou Lin felt a heavy suffocation in his chest. Following Cheng Zhiwei inside, he couldn’t control the deep anger in his tone, "Did the family driver die? Not knowing to pick up the young madam from the hospital."

Cheng Zhiwei turned around, stared fixedly at Zhou Lin with deep, weary eyes.

Zhou Lin was about to speak, but Cheng Zhiwei had already gone upstairs.

Wang Mei by the side tried to calm him, "Young master, please say less. The young madam’s throat is like that, she really can’t be hurt again."

Zhou Lin seemed to think of something, cursed, "Serves her right."

Wang Mei shook her head with a sigh and asked, "Will you be staying tonight, young master?"

Zhou Lin looked exceedingly grim. He actually hadn’t planned to come back, but for some reason he wanted to know how Cheng Zhiwei’s throat really was, as if only seeing her could give him peace of mind. Unable to make sense of it, he returned.

But what did he come back to? Another man had escorted her home, appearing so reluctant to leave her.

"Not staying," he said tersely and left with pursed lips.

When Cheng Zhiwei woke up, her throat felt somewhat better, not as painful, and she could now speak in a hoarse voice.

However, Xu Tian’s situation was increasingly difficult; He Ye still hadn’t seen anyone this morning.

Cheng Zhiwei thought for a moment. After completing her check-up at the hospital, she went to find Bai Zhuzhu. Bai Zhuzhu, targeting Cheng Zhiwei, would surely make some demands.

But just as she arrived outside the hospital room, she overheard an unfamiliar female voice, "Miss Bai, it’s the Xu family’s poor upbringing that allowed Xu Tian to hurt you before. This is our compensation to you from the Xu family, and we hope you can accept it. As for Xu Tian, you can do whatever you want with her, just don’t implicate our Xu family."

Bai Zhuzhu feigned sympathy, "Of course, one should be responsible for their own actions. Brother Lin also said that Miss Xu’s mouth truly needs discipline, she ought to suffer a bit for her own good, otherwise I really wouldn’t want to treat Miss Xu like this."

"Miss Bai is too kind," she said. "After all, Xu Tian is not my own child, and I’m not good at disciplining her, causing trouble for Young President Zhou."

"Madam Xu is too polite."

Cheng Zhiwei hid on the other side and sure enough, things were as she had suspected: Madam Xu seized the opportunity to kick someone when they were down.

A few minutes later, a woman in a dark blue cheongsam came out, saying to the man beside her, "That little bitch has disgusted me for so many years. This time, she’s finally taken the fall. Having offended Zhou Lin, even if her dad comes back, he can’t blame me."

"Madam is right, it’s entirely her own doing, and has nothing to do with you."

Their voices gradually faded into the distance.

Cheng Zhiwei turned her body, feeling heavy-hearted.

After a while, she pushed open the door of the sickroom and entered.

Bai Zhuzhu was fiddling with a card in her hand. Seeing Cheng Zhiwei come in, she quickly stuffed the card into her blanket in a flurry. Cheng Zhiwei pretended not to notice but still couldn’t help revealing a mocking expression.

Bai Zhuzhu’s voice rose, her eyebrows slightly lifted. With Zhou Lin here, she couldn’t be bothered to feign the weak demeanor any longer, instead, she scrutinized Cheng Zhiwei with the posture of a victor.

"Cheng Zhiwei, are you here to beg me?"

Before Cheng Zhiwei could even speak, Bai Zhuzhu couldn’t help but laugh out in schadenfreude, "Ah, I forgot, you’re now mute and can’t speak."

Cheng Zhiwei’s lips trembled, restraining the anger deep in her heart, "What will it take for you to let Xu Tian go?"

"Look at that voice, as harsh as a broken gong, it’s really unbearable to listen to." Bai Zhuzhu giggled while touching her own chin, "Once you become a real mute, I’ll let Xu Tian go."

In any case, she wanted to crush Cheng Zhiwei thoroughly and make sure she would never be able to turn the tables.

"It really was you who poisoned me," Cheng Zhiwei struggled to speak clearly, trying to enunciate every word distinctly, "I suppose, Xu Tian didn’t push you. You did it on purpose."

"Yes, I did it all," Bai Zhuzhu admitted openly, tilting her head to look at Cheng Zhiwei, "Cheng Zhiwei, you will never be able to take what’s mine, so I advise you to stop wasting your effort. The two people I hate most in this life, one of them is you. Only with your death will I be content, so why don’t you die for Xu Tian."

The last three words were uttered with extreme harshness.

Cheng Zhiwei turned around and left.

"Seize her," Bai Zhuzhu suddenly commanded. Two black-clad bodyguards entered from outside, restraining Cheng Zhiwei from both sides.

Bai Zhuzhu stepped forward and pulled out a mobile phone from Cheng Zhiwei’s pocket.

The phone screen was lit, displaying that it was recording.

Bai Zhuzhu lifted the phone, disdainfully tossing it to the ground and stomping on it viciously. Her expression was as if she was trampling on Cheng Zhiwei’s body, "Cheng Zhiwei, even if you have a recording, what of it? Brother Lin will always choose to stand by my side. He hates you and wishes you were dead."

Cheng Zhiwei glanced at the phone on the ground, a hint of helplessness passing through her eyes. She had turned on the phone’s recording when she entered, indeed intending to record Bai Zhuzhu’s words as evidence. But Bai Zhuzhu was no fool and had anticipated this.

Pity for her newly purchased phone.

Bai Zhuzhu picked up the phone and stuffed it back into Cheng Zhiwei’s pocket with a sinister tone, "Cheng Zhiwei, you’re just like this broken phone, nothing but trash."
