Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218: Tearing Faces Again Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218: Tearing Faces Again Chen Xiaoyi and Chen Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected Chen Yining and Jiang Nan to co at this ti and were caught off guard.
The sisters both froze.
Luo Ziling was also quite embarrassed. As he was tidying up, he couldn’t help but stop what he was doing and stand up.
“If I find you in my daughter’s hospital room again, I’ll break your legs,” Chen Yining, with a face ashen with rage, stepped up to Luo Ziling and threatened fiercely, “Get the hell out of here now!”
“A dog biting Lu Dongbin, not recognizing a good person’s heart,” Luo Ziling imdiately retorted, “You can call soone in to deal with , and I’d like to see how they’re going to break my legs. Moreover, I don’t know how to ‘get the hell out,’ so if you do, perhaps you can demonstrate it for .”
“You…” Chen Yining hadn’t expected Luo Ziling to talk back to his face, and his anger flared up, “What gives you the right to speak to like that?”
“And what gives you the right to speak to in such a commanding tone?” Luo Ziling responded with a cold sneer, “I’m treating your daughter’s injuries, and this is how you treat . Do you have the decorum of an elder? What gives you the right to criticize when you are so ungrateful? Are you worthy?”
Chen Yining had a history of cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure, and the past few days had piled up with one bad thing after another, putting him in an already foul mood.
Provoked by Luo Ziling like this, he felt like his lungs were about to explode, and his blood pressure kept rising.
However, as soone who had weathered many storms, he took a couple of deep breaths and managed to calm down in the face of Luo Ziling’s provocation.
“We, the Chen Family, don’t need your help,” Chen Yining said, looking at Luo Ziling with icy eyes before commanding in an irresistible tone, “Leave now, or I’ll have soone throw you out. Don’t think just because you can fight, I won’t believe you can take a bullet.”
Luo Ziling completely disregarded Chen Yining’s toughness and laughed coldly, “If you want your bodyguards to end up in the hospital too, go ahead and try to have them throw out. You dare to shoot, just try it.”
He had always reacted better to soft approaches than hard ones; anyone who tried to enforce their will on him would et with even greater obstinacy.
If soone softened up and spoke kindly to him when he was angry, he might just stop being angry.
Besides, with no good impression of Chen Yining, Luo Ziling t his behavior with not an inch of concession.
Naturally, the most uncomfortable one was Chen Xiaoyi, lying on the hospital bed, feeling caught in an impossible situation.
Chen Xiaoxiao, realizing her jest had caused trouble, saw Chen Xiaoyi’s embarrassnts and imdiately went over to Luo Ziling, pulling him outside, “Ziling, I’m really sorry. How about you head back first? I’ll handle things here.”
Then she said in a voice just loud enough for Luo Ziling to hear, “Ziling, don’t argue with Xiaoyi’s dad anymore. Xiaoyi is in a lot of pain.”
“Alright!” Luo Ziling agreed.
Just as Chen Yining was so angry he couldn’t catch his breath, Luo Ziling left the room, following Chen Xiaoxiao’s tugging.
“A bastard raised without a father,” Jiang Nan was also half dead with anger, having never seen anyone more arrogant than Luo Ziling and finally couldn’t help but explode when Luo Ziling left the room. She stamped her foot and cursed, “An ill-mannered thing, go back and have your mother teach you so manners!”
Luo Ziling imdiately stopped in his tracks, turned around with an icy look, and ignoring Chen Xiaoxiao’s tugging, walked toward this woman.
“Luo Ziling, don’t do this,” Chen Xiaoxiao hurriedly intervened.
She knew that if she didn’t stop Luo Ziling, Jiang Nan would definitely get beaten up. She had vaguely heard rumors about soone in the Ling Family calling Luo Ziling a “bastard” and getting publicly slapped by Luo Ziling.
And that person Luo Ziling had slapped was an elder of the Ling Family.
Luo Ziling, who had already caused such a scene with Chen Yining, would surely slap Jiang Nan across the face upon hearing her insult him like that; that much was certain.
If it really ca to that, Chen Xiaoyi would have no way to face her parents, and there would be no way to get along with Luo Ziling in the future.
But Luo Ziling paid no heed to Chen Xiaoxiao’s intervention and continued to head toward Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan was a bit scared and quickly hid behind Chen Yining.
“Luo Ziling, you can’t do this,” Chen Xiaoxiao shouted desperately, blocking his path, “Please, just do it for Xiaoyi and for . Don’t take my aunt’s angry words to heart. Later on, Xiaoyi and I will apologize to you together, okay? Please just leave, don’t make a big scene, alright? I’m begging you. I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have made that kind of joke.”
“Luo Ziling, please, just go,” Chen Xiaoyi also pleaded from the bed, “Don’t stoop to my mom’s level.”
“Fine, for both of your sakes, I’ll let it go this once,” Luo Ziling stopped in his tracks, glaring at Jiang Nan fiercely, “I’ll rember the words you said to today. Let’s hope you don’t give a chance to return the favor.”
With these words, he broke free from Chen Xiaoxiao’s grasp and strode away.
Chen Yining and Jiang Nan were even more furious; Chen Yining almost wanted the security guards at the door to take down Luo Ziling.
Chen Xiaoxiao naturally hurried to persuade them, pulling Chen Yining and Jiang Nan back into the room.
After a long and earnest attempt at persuasion by Chen Xiaoxiao, Chen Yining and Jiang Nan finally cald down.
By this ti, Chen Xiaoyi, who was completely uninterested in everything after the commotion, had closed her eyes, unwilling to deal with anyone.
“Xiaoyi, how could you fall for such an ill-mannered bastard? You really are blind,” Jiang Nan was still furious and yelled at Chen Xiaoyi, “I’m telling you, if you keep in touch with him, don’t expect your parents to be understanding.”
“Dad, Mom, why did you co to see ?” Chen Xiaoyi asked with her eyes closed, “Was it for my health, or do you wish to see get worse?”
“We care about you, so we ca to see you!” Jiang Nan was still angry, “Don’t you want your parents to visit?”
“Every ti you co, you fight and argue in front of , completely ruining my mood,” Chen Xiaoyi spoke without opening her eyes, her voice calm and steady, “I was recovering well. After Luo Ziling treated , I felt everything was better. But after you fought and argued a few tis in front of , I’ve developed a splitting headache. Are you pushing your daughter down a path to death? Is this how you parent?”
“How can you talk to your parents like that?” Chen Yining snapped, yelling at Chen Xiaoyi, “Have all these years we raised you amounted to less importance than so wild boy?”
“I don’t want to argue about these things,” Chen Xiaoyi finally opened her eyes, “I don’t an to deny the kindness you’ve shown by raising , but let’s stick to the facts. If you truly cared for your daughter, you wouldn’t argue with soone who’s helping her, right in front of her, when she’s seriously injured and in dire need of rest and treatnt; you’d wait until after my recovery to express your dissatisfaction, wouldn’t you?”
As she said this, Chen Xiaoyi closed her eyes again, “For the next few days, please go about your own business. I don’t want to see you getting angry in front of again—consider it a plea from , okay? If you don’t show up, I am certain I’ll recover faster; I’m begging you.”
