To be honest, she didn’t want Liu Chengyu to accompany her to the hospital. Although she was very extroverted when she was with her friends, she just wanted to hide in her shell like a turtle when she was with people who she didn’t like. And Liu Chengyu happened to fall into the second category.

So she was quite relieved to see Xiao Sa appear.

“Sa, there you are!” Tang Xi put her uninjured arm around Xiao Sa’s neck

Xiao Sa took a worried look at her and pursed his lips. “How did you get injured? What happened?” He said and carried Tang Xi upstairs. Before Tang Xi answered, he took a look at Liu Chengyu, saying, “Thank you for bringing my sister to the hospital. We’ll deal with the follow-up by ourselves. Bye.”

Liu Chengyu who wanted to stay frowned and Tang Xi also looked at him. “Yes, my second brother will take care of me. You can leave now. Thank you.”

Liu Chengyu could only nod. “Okay, take a good rest. You don’t have to worry about anything. I’ll uphold justice for you.” He paused, gazed at Tang Xi and said with guilt, “After all, you were injured because of me.”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. After he left, Xiao Sa asked Tang Xi with doubt, “Were you injured because you fought with some other girl for this Liu Chengyu?”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it possible. Because the first one she called was not Xiao Jing but him, and Xiao Jing was Qiao Liang’s good friend!

He had to admit that Rourou was on better terms with Jing than with him, so…

Tang Xi paused and looked at Xiao Sa in surprise. And then she blinked and burst into laughter. Xiao Sa gave her a questioning look and Tang Xi said laughing, “Sa, what are you talking about? How could I fight with other girls for Liu Chengyu?! He is merely a stranger to me.”

“Then why?” Xiao Sa put Tang Xi on the sickbed and a surgeon had arrived to put stitches into her wound. Xiao Sa asked Tang Xi and took a look at the surgeon. The latter got what he meant and nodded. At the very moment that Tang Xi didn’t pay attention, he cut off Tang Xi’s sleeve and injected the anesthetic into her arm. Tang Xi couldn’t help but let out a cry when she suddenly felt a pain.

“My classmate’s sister is Xiao Jinning’s sidekick, so she got angry at me and attacked me. It’s not a big deal.” Tang Xi said and looked at the surgeon who was dressing her wound. “Doctor, please be gentle. It really hurts!”

“Hurts?” A cold voice suddenly rang.

Tang Xi immediately raised her head only to see Qiao Liang’s cold face. She knew she was doomed!

But she didn’t even tell Xiao Jing about this matter. How did Qiao Liang come to know this?!

Thinking of a possibility, Tang Xi turned her eyes to Xiao Sa who touched his own nose awkwardly. “In fact, I was with him when you called me.”

He was with Qiao Liang?

Why? Tang Xi took a look at Qiao Liang when Xiao Jing hurried in, saying, “That girl called Peng Yu has been expelled from the school. She won’t be able to get any chances in China anymore. Her parents may try to send her abroad, but unfortunately, we won’t give her this chance…”

Tang Xi still frowned from the pain of anesthetic injection. When Qiao Liang saw her painful look, his inner anger immediately disappeared and his heart began to ache for her. He rushed up and hugged Tang Xi’s shoulders. “It’s okay.”

Tang Xi was a bit guilty to see Qiao Liang worry about her, so she whispered, “I didn’t mean to get myself hurt. I just failed to dodge her attack. Please don’t be angry at me.”

“Why didn’t you tell me you were injured?” Qiao Liang took a look at the surgeon’s movement, frowned and tried to divert Tang Xi’s attention.

Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang timidly and pursed her lips. “I didn’t want you to be angry.”

She didn’t want him to be angry?

“Let me know no matter what happens to you in the future, okay? Otherwise, I will be angry indeed.” Qiao Liang gazed at her and lowered his voice. “Understood?”

Tang Xi nodded. “Yes.”

“Hey, you two are being too high-profile! We are still here!” Xiao Jing couldn’t bear that the two of them began to play lovey-dovey again! He shouted, “I’ll call the police if you keep being like this.”

“Ouch…” Tang Xi frowned and looked at the surgeon. “Doctor, why does it hurt so much…”

“Well, your wound is really deep, so…” The surgeon coughed and explained calmly.

…

In Peng Yu’s home, a middle-aged man slapped her and growled, “Stupid! Your sister is stupid, so is you! How dare you mess with the Miss of the Xiao Family? You should curry favor with her instead of going against her! Now you ruined your own future. Don’t count on me to save you!”

“Sister was fired because of that woman. She ruined our lives. How can you say I should curry favor with her?!” Peng Yu covered her face with a hand and stared at her father angrily. “I don’t regret what I did! The only thing I regret is that I didn’t kill that woman!”

“Are you out of your mind?!” The man slapped her again. “Are you insane? If you kill her, we all have to die!”

“That’s enough!” A middle-aged woman who had been sitting at the side and supporting her forehead with her hand suddenly stood up and said tearfully, “What are you arguing for? Do you forget what those men said today? Yuyu is nineteen years old and can be held criminally liable. They said they would sue her. Shouldn’t we talk about how to save Yuyu out of this trouble?”

Peng Yu was scared to hear that. Her hands began to tremble and she shouted, “Mom, Dad, you gotta help me. I don’t want to go to jail!”

“Now you begin to feel afraid?” The middle-aged man said angrily, “It’s too late! Didn’t you still say one minute ago that you didn’t regret anything?!”
