(òωó?)?!!!
My father would defile me???
How is that possible; even if he treats me badly, he at least watched me grow up—would he really do something so utterly heartless?
Besides, the village chief of our Chu Village is already decrepit; when he was young, he beat his own wife to death through domestic violence....
He also relies on his power, dominating the village and doing evil, often taking the chance to molest and tease the village women and young wives.
For such an old beast, would my parents really be heartless enough to push me into the fire pit and sell me to him?!
If I hadn't eavesdropped on Lin Xuan's inner voice today.....
Then even if her parents were ever so harsh to her, Chu Ling would have firmly believed they would never, for their own interests, do something to harm her.
But now.......
Thinking back to Chu Xiong's occasional strange look at her as she grew older—at the time she hadn't felt anything was wrong, but now that she thought of that gaze.....
It seemed a bit disgusting....
And the couple's cringing, toadying posture in front of the village chief usually....
Chu Ling's face went pale, and she gave a bleak smile.
She suddenly felt that such a future might not be groundless.
That also made her tangled up over whether she shouldn't go back to Chu Village.
If things really developed the way she overheard from the inner voice, wouldn't going back be walking right into the trap?!
.......
'Tsk tsk tsk... my cousin is not only foolish but also ill-fated~~~'
'But who told her to have saved the galaxy in her last life, so in this life she gets to meet me?'
'With her cousin here, defying heaven and changing fate is only a matter of time.'
'Since she chose to go back with Chu Xiong, it shows that in her heart... she still harbors fantasies about those so-called parents.....'
'It's not incomprehensible; after all, they've lived together day and night for so many years, and she has always treated that couple as her biological parents; being unable to let go now is only human.'
'Going back to the village is fine; I can send people to secretly protect her.'
'Once my foolish cousin fully sees through this 'father' Chu Xiong's ugly true face, she'll naturally choose to stand on the same side as me...'
.......
Just as Chu Ling was tangled up and uneasy!
Lin Xuan's inner voice sounded by her ear again, and her eyes instantly lit up.
Send people to secretly protect me?
Good, good, good—then my safety will be guaranteed~~~
This so-called cousin of mine seems to be quite a good person?!
The only infuriating point.....
Why do you have to keep calling me foolish!!!
........
"Xiao Ling, you have to think carefully! You only live once—this isn't a joke!"
"Young Master Lin has given you a chance to live—you should cherish it!"
"Ai, at a time like this you shouldn't care about certain people's opinions. Getting cured first is what matters most!"
"......."
Watching a girl in the flower of her youth voluntarily give up treatment because of her father's vicious threats,
The medical staff present all couldn't bear it and spoke up to dissuade her.
But with backing to rely on, Chu Ling declined everyone's kindness, her tone firm.
"Thank you all for your concern! But I'll be fine; please don't worry about me."
Beside her, Lin Xuan smiled broadly and made a final farewell.
"Little Sister Chu Ling, I feel you're very much like one of my relatives, which makes me feel quite close to you."
"So, if one day you change your mind and want treatment, feel free to contact me anytime! My promise still stands!"
"Thank you!" Chu Ling looked deeply at the young man before her and thanked him sincerely.
No matter for what purpose the other party approached her.
At least from the current situation, Lin Xuan bore goodwill toward her.
If not for this "cousin's" sudden appearance, she might never have learned her true origins until she died... and her end might have been extremely tragic....
Thinking of the contents of Lin Xuan's inner voice earlier, goosebumps rose on Chu Ling's skin and she had the urge to vomit.
She could hardly imagine that if she really were violated by the "father" who had raised her since childhood.....
What kind of collapse would she be in then?!
Fortunately, none of that future had yet happened, and there was still a chance.
Thinking of this.
Chu Ling couldn't help but feel deeply grateful in her heart and felt a strong sense of gratitude toward Lin Xuan.
........
"Very good—this is my good daughter! Let's go quickly!"
"The village's tractor has been waiting outside the hospital for a long time. Don't waste time—let's go home first, girl!"
"Don't worry; in my view you've just been possessed—attracted something unclean, and the evil energy entered your body causing the illness."
"Old Li at the village entrance is a famous old Taoist priest around here; he's much more reliable than these quack doctors."
"After we return to the village, I'll ask him to set up an altar and perform a ritual for you, then have you eat a few peace talismans to expel evil, and you'll surely be cured like medicine to the disease."
"......"
WTF?!
You take cancer as demonic possession?!!
Evil energy entering the body, set up an altar, eat a few peace talismans and it'll be fine???
I believe your ghost—you rotten old man are wicked as hell!!!
If Taoist priests worked, what would they need us doctors for? |?)
Hearing Chu Xiong's ridiculous remarks, the medical staff present were furious to the point of laughter.
They couldn't understand: it's the twenty-first century and nine-year compulsory education has been implemented for so many years—how can some people's thinking still be so backward and ignorant?!!
We must believe in science!!!
"Cough, cough....."
"You wretched girl! I'll wait for you outside first—hurry up and come out!"
Faced with everyone's contemptuous gazes →→, Chu Xiong couldn't help feeling guilty, his eyes shifting unnaturally to other places.
Then he urged Chu Ling a few times and left the ward ahead of her.......
Two and a half minutes later.
Chu Ling finished thanking and saying goodbye to the medical staff one by one.
Under everyone's reluctant and worried gazes, she stepped out of the room.
As soon as she went out the door, Chu Xiong rushed over impatiently, grabbed Chu Ling's arm, and tried to leave.
"Quick, quick, quick! Your Uncle Jia's tractor is about to leave!"
"Don't touch me!!!"
Facing the wolf claw stretched toward her and recalling the inner voice she'd overheard.
Chu Ling suddenly felt a wave of nausea, shouted loudly, slapped away Chu Xiong's hand, and then left without looking back.
"Rebellion, rebellion—this wretch is going to defy the heavens!"
"You even dare hit me? Just wait till we get back and see if I don't fix you!"
Staring at Chu Ling's departing back, Chu Xiong was dazed for quite a while before reacting; on the spot he flushed red with anger, cursing as he followed.
Only, doubt flickered in his pupils from time to time.
This wretched girl seemed a bit different?!
The her from before...
Wouldn't have dared treat him with this attitude......
But just now he actually felt distance and disgust from her........
Compared to the Chu Ling who used to try so hard to please him, it was like two different people?!!
But although Chu Xiong had doubts in his heart, he didn't think much of it; he just assumed that after Chu Ling learned she was gravely ill and wouldn't live long, she bore quite a bit of resentment toward him.....
"Hmph! This little girl has unknowingly grown up too!"
"Jie-jie-jie, perhaps... I can find a chance to 'pick the fruit' once. Otherwise it'd be a waste—why let fat water flow to outsiders?!"
"I raised her to this age and she ate so much of my grain. Paying me back a bit is perfectly normal—quite reasonable!"
"......"
Walking down the stairs, Chu Xiong followed behind the girl, staring at her constantly swaying little butt, the corner of his mouth hooked in a lewd curve.
This scene happened to be reflected in the stairwell window and mirrored in Chu Ling's eyes.
She suddenly felt a chill down her back; shocked in her heart and filled with disgust, she further saw through Chu Xiong's true face.
So, all these years the ones living around me were demons, and I mistakenly took them as family?!
For a moment, Chu Ling's eyes stung and her heart was filled with sorrow.
If she could, she really wanted to return to her real family and enjoy the happiness other children could reach out and touch.....
"Da-da-da——"
Soon, the heavy-hearted Chu Ling got onto an old tractor and disappeared from the hospital entrance.
.......
In the hospital corridor.
Lin Xuan made a call to his company; he wanted to change the tragic future for his ill-fated cousin.
"Right! Lao Ma, I'll send you the photos!"
"Send a few people over the next two days to keep an eye on Chu Village. Mm, that's it... doo-doo-doo——"
After giving the instructions, Lin Xuan didn't waste words; he ended the call directly and pushed open Su Shengtian's ward door again.
Inside, only the old man lay unconscious on the hospital bed.
And before the bed sat Su Qingge in a wheelchair, scrolling on her phone.
She didn't know what she had come across; at the moment her brows were slightly furrowed and she hadn't even noticed Lin Xuan's arrival......
"Qingge, what are you looking at? So absorbed?"
"Where's Brother Su Fan? Did he go back after the massage?"
"Mm, Su Fan... has left for now."
Lin Xuan approached with a smile, startling the girl in the wheelchair, and she answered subconsciously.
"Qingge, your voice is recovering better and better—I suppose you'll be fully recovered soon! Congratulations~~ (〃'▽'〃)"
Hearing Su Qingge's enunciation grow clearer and clearer, Lin Xuan gave a thumbs-up and sincerely felt happy for her.
Hearing this.
Su Qingge unconsciously revealed a smile, beautiful beyond measure.
She could also clearly feel her body recovering day by day.
This feeling of getting better day by day filled her with anticipation for each new day.
But when she glanced at the latest news displayed on the phone screen......
Su Qingge's brows furrowed again; after hesitating, she still handed the phone to Lin Xuan.
"Y-you... it seems your father is in trouble."
"Hm? What did that old man do again? |_?) He's really a guy who only causes trouble!"
Hearing that Lin Jianjun was making trouble outside again, and that this time it seemed serious enough to make the news.
Lin Xuan couldn't help rolling his eyes, speechless at this scumbag dad.
He took the phone and quickly scrolled with his fingers.......
An hour ago, Lin Jianjun's swaggering behavior on the road had been recorded by indignant passers-by and uploaded as videos to Moments, Weibo, Douyin, Kuaishou and other self-media platforms.
Lin Xuan raised his brows and casually tapped a trending video......
As the footage began!
Under the traffic light, the flow of cars all obediently stopped and waited.
"Bang!!!"
Suddenly, a wine bottle flew over and smashed the window of a Tesla.
"What the hell is wrong with you! You smashed my car window! You damn drunk, are you crazy?!"
Seeing his beloved car badly damaged, the owner howled with rage, got out, and cursed the bottle-thrower.
It was a middle-aged man dressed like a sanitation worker!
His face was flushed red; he hiccupped drunkenly and wobbled as he made a throwing motion.
Seeing his bottle hit the target, he clutched his belly and burst out laughing.....
"That idiot!"
Confirming the scumbag dad's identity, Lin Xuan couldn't help cursing.
He had already vaguely guessed.......
What kind of trouble this idiot would bring him!!!
At this moment, the video kept playing!
In the footage, Lin Jianjun seemed completely drunk.
He ignored the warnings and curses of many drivers and the startled onlookers; he staggered onto the roof of a car, jumped back and forth among the traffic, and laughed wildly without stopping.
"What are you yelling about? Do you know who I am?"
"I'm the chairman's father!!! My son's got plenty of money—go ask him to pay you!"
"What? You don't think the chairman of the Su Group can't afford it, do you? Huh? Hahaha..."
"........"
Hearing this, the corner of Lin Xuan's mouth twitched; he truly wanted to slap this idiot scumbag dad to death.
Those words were basically inviting hate onto him!
After all, netizens wouldn't know the conflict between father and son; they would only think like father, like son—if the father could bully others with power like this, the son must not be any good either, and thus he'd be implicated.
And what was most eye-searing to Lin Xuan was.....
This idiot actually stood hands on hips on the roof of a BMW, pulled down his pants, and peed while laughing madly.
He didn't care at all about the way passers-by looked at him like a monkey show.
Seeing everyone filming him crazily, he even struck all kinds of flashy poses on the car roof to let people get a clearer shot.
Then he jumped down from the roof, dragged the driver out of the seat, got in himself, and stepped on the gas.
Rumble——
The car roared, careening madly through the traffic.
Cars of all different models reeled under scrapes and collisions, badly damaged.
"F*ck, he's gone crazy!!!"
"Get out of the way—watch out!!!!"
"......"
The passers-by who had been leisurely watching the show almost had their souls scared away, letting out waves of screams.
But Lin Jianjun still didn't care, raving to the extreme and stomping on the accelerator while yelling.
Rumble——
Just then, there happened to be two innocent pedestrians at the roadside, crossing the street together.
"Hahaha....."
Amid Lin Jianjun's manic laughter, the car howled past, and the two pedestrians just..... flew into the air.....
