Chapter 59: Get Up and Continue
Ling Hanmu gave Xia Chenge a meaningful glance before turning his back to the door.
The anger in Xia Chenge’s eyes had already faded, leaving her expression unruffled.
The next moment, the hospital room door was violently pushed open by Xu Jingyi.
Upon seeing Xia Chenge, Xu Jingyi paused for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and asked coldly, “Xiao Ge, how is your Grandmother?”
“Why are you here?” Xia Minglan shrieked.
“Shut up!” Xu Jingyi sharply ordered her, “Close the door.”
Xia Minglan sheepishly turned to close the door.
Only then did Xu Jingyi notice that besides Xia Chenge, there was also a young man.
“Who is he?” Xu Jingyi looked at Xia Chenge, “How is your Grandmother? Why did you bring a stranger here, what do you want to do to her? Xiao Ge, I can understand that your mental state isn’t good, but when you’re lucid, can you listen to us for once!”
“Under what identity are you questioning me? And what qualification do you have to determine that my mental state is not good? Delusions are a sickness; I’m afraid you’re the one who needs to see a psychiatrist to confirm if your own mental state is normal,” Xia Chenge said calmly.
“Xiao Ge, you’re disobedient, and Uncle-in-law is very unhappy,” Xu Jingyi said sinisterly.
“As if I’d be happy to see you!” Xia Chenge sneered. She glanced at Xia Minglan behind Xu Jingyi, “What, did your wife drag you here to vent her anger on me? Rushing over like this, what are you trying to do? Solidify the fact that Grandmother is no longer alive?”
“Xia Chenge, what nonsense are you spouting? Your Grandmother was clearly killed by you, and you still want to shift the blame? If I had known you were so wicked, I should have let you wander the streets to fend for yourself back then!” Xia Minglan trembled with anger.
“Why not go further and let me end up like my parents,” Xia Chenge’s sharp eyes pierced through them, making both Xu Jingyi and his wife tremble.
Xia Chenge had actually started to suspect them!
Then she absolutely could not be allowed to remain in this world!
If Ling Hanmu was truly helping her from behind the scenes, then with the Ling family’s involvement, all past matters would be exposed.
Their years of painstaking effort would all be in vain, and they would even have to pay a heavy price!
“Why is no one speaking?” Xia Chenge slightly curled her lips again, “I see guilt and fear in your eyes. What, I just said it casually, and your reaction makes me truly suspect if your involvement in my parents’ deaths is related!”
“Xiao Ge, don’t talk nonsense,” Xu Jingyi steadied himself, “We were also saddened and regretful about the accident back then, but the departed are gone. You shouldn’t fabricate things like this about your parents’ deaths; it’s disrespectful to them.”
“Letting them die unjustly would be the greatest disrespect, wouldn’t you agree?”
“How is your Grandmother?”
“She’s right here, can’t you see?”
“Xiao Ge, come here.”
“What do you want to do?”
“I want to tell you the truth about your parents’ deaths, but this is a matter for our Xia family. Have your friend leave first.”
Xia Chenge immediately saw through Xu Jingyi’s intentions. She deliberately glanced back at Ling Hanmu, “Whether he’s willing to leave isn’t something I can control. After all, not everyone is a puppet like Xia Chenge, unable to have their own thoughts.”
“Young man, you must have heard our conversation. Could I trouble you to leave first?” Xu Jingyi commanded Ling Hanmu in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Ling Hanmu stood up, lowered his head, and walked towards the door.
As he passed by Xu Jingyi, Xu Jingyi suddenly attacked him.
Xu Jingyi fully expected to hit his target.
But he had forgotten that the only young man close to Xia Chenge in Haicheng was the Ling family’s Young Master, Ling Hanmu!
Ling Hanmu sidestepped the attack, exuding a terrifying aura, and stared at him with icy eyes, “I had no intention of getting involved in your affairs, yet you want to kill this Young Master?”
The moment Ling Hanmu looked up, Xu Jingyi recognized his identity. His face changed drastically, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
“Who do you think you are, daring to lay a hand on this Young Master?” Ling Hanmu kicked him in the abdomen.
Xu Jingyi didn’t dare to dodge at all and took the kick squarely in the stomach, immediately clutching his abdomen in pain and bending over.
Seeing this, Xia Minglan trembled all over. Not only could she not help Xu Jingyi, but she didn’t even have the strength to move her feet.
“Do you really think Haicheng is your Xu family’s territory? Daring to act so high and mighty in front of this Young Master!”
After speaking, Ling Hanmu mercilessly threw another punch at Xu Jingyi’s face, knocking out two of his teeth.
Crimson blood oozed from the corner of Xu Jingyi’s mouth. The color drained from his face, yet he dared not utter a single word.
Xia Chenge watched Ling Hanmu beat Xu Jingyi with cold eyes, a pleased smile gracing her lips, feeling immensely satisfied.
Xu Jingyi, beaten by Ling Hanmu, knelt on the ground in pain, unable to catch his breath for a long time.
He couldn’t believe that Ling Hanmu would actually be in the hospital room!
“Get up, continue! You’re the first person in Haicheng to dare to hit this Young Master!” Ling Hanmu looked down at Xu Jingyi, as arrogant and aloof as an invincible King.
“Ling, Young Master Ling, I, I’m sorry…” Xu Jingyi said with difficulty, “I, I didn’t mean it that way.”
Looking down on Ling Hanmu in private was one thing, but facing him directly, Xu Jingyi dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction or contempt. This was because Ling Hanmu never played by the rules, and the Ling family’s indulgence towards him…
Even if she were given the courage of heaven, she wouldn’t dare to confront Ling Hanmu. After all, he didn’t have many resources, and the people he could rely on couldn’t be enemies with the Ling family!
“Didn’t mean it? Are you saying this Young Master is falsely accusing you of hitting me? Fine, my lawyer will personally discuss this matter with you. It’s your honor to have this Young Master stand as the plaintiff; you’re the first person in Country A!”
“Young Master Ling, I didn’t mean it that way. I just wanted to see who you were, I didn’t intend to make a move,” Xu Jingyi’s face was deathly pale. Getting into a lawsuit with the Ling family would truly be the beginning of his end.
How could that little waste Xia Chenge have the ability to make Ling Hanmu stand up for her!
“Do you think this Young Master is someone a man who lives off women can look at?”
“I’m sorry, Young Master Ling, for offending your eyes. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this once,” Xu Jingyi pleaded incessantly, no longer possessing the emperor-like demeanor he had at the Xia family’s, looking pathetically humble.
“Chenge, please beg for me. I’ve never treated you badly. This time, I really just wanted to see your Grandmother, nothing else. I was just worried you’d be deceived by bad people, which is why I wanted to clarify Young Master Ling’s identity,” Xu Jingyi looked at Xia Chenge.
Xia Chenge smiled, “You want me to beg for you?”
