On the hospital bed, Tong Huaer was still in a coma. Her cheeks were scrubbed by a nurse, and the swollen wounds on both sides showed large patches of purplish-green, which looked horrifying.
"...
Zong Beili frowned and stared at her little face. After a while, he picked up an ice bag beside her and gently placed it on her cheek.
"Little bitch, what's the use of raising you... To wipe the floor... No dinner at night..."
In her drowsiness, there were constant familiar beatings and scoldings as well as the cries of children. The bamboo strips hit her body, and it hurt so much, so much...
"Mom... Don't hit me... Don't..."
Tong Huaer, who was in a coma, kept shaking his head. His small face, which was tightly closed, was filled with fear, as if he was trying to avoid something.
"Tong Huaer? Tong Huaer? Wake up..."
Zong Beili frowned.
A man's voice suddenly came from a distant place, and he suddenly woke up from his dream. His eyes were wide open and he looked at the person in front of him. His frightened eyes were unfocused.
"Did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Zong Beili pressed her long, sweaty hair behind her ear with a gentle tone she had never heard before.
"...
Tong Huaer gradually regained his senses and opened his mouth. Before he could speak, a flash of pain flashed through his eyes.
Because of the bruise on her cheek, all she needed to do now was open her mouth and it would lead to an unspeakable pain.
Realizing something, Tong Huaer looked at Zong Beili in a daze for a few seconds and suddenly raised his head to cover his face.
She must be so ugly now. She doesn't want him to see her like this!
Zong Beili frowned and grabbed her wrist with his big hand. His black eyes were fixed on Tong Huaer's eyes, "It's all right! You're not ugly at all. Be good. Take your hand off and I'll ice it for you so you can reduce the swelling."
"...
Tong Huaer bit her lips and shook her head, her little hands still tightly covering her face.
A complex emotion flashed through zongbei's sharp eyes. He sighed and said, "I saw it when you were unconscious. You're too late to hide now, aren't you? Be good and take your hand off."
Tong Huaer refused to put his hand down, and Zong Beili kept persuading him that the normally irascible man had shown unprecedented patience today, speaking to her almost in a coaxing tone without any impatience.
Gradually, Tong Huaer took his hand off and looked at Zong Beili with twinkling eyes. From his pupils, she could clearly see her reflection. Her swollen face looked like a pig's head.
"Does it hurt?"
Zong Beili pinched Tong Huaer's little hand, picked up the ice pack and put it back on her cheek. Her dark eyes were fixed on her.
"...
Tong Huaer blinked and nodded at him.
She's not a wooden person, so of course it hurts.
Zong Beili's dark eyes paused and looked at her, "I'm sorry, I'm late!"
"...
Tong Huaer was shocked, and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes. He turned his head and covered his eyes with his little hand, biting his lips to stop himself from crying.
Zong Beili's dark eyes darkened, and he bent down to hold Huaer into his arms. His deep and tense voice whispered in her ear word by word, "Tong Huaer, I will avenge you!"
Outside the ward, Ye Shen stood in front of the ward and looked at Liu Fei with a handsome face, "Miss Liu, young master Zong doesn't have time to see you now. Please leave first."
"How do you know that Beili doesn't want to see me now?" Liu Fei frowned.
She was afraid that zong beili would make trouble for her, so she came here first, but was blocked by Ye Shen at the door.
"Because from what I know about young master zong, I can tell that he doesn't want to see you now. Doesn't Miss Liu know what he's done?" Ye shen said.
"Ye Shen! How dare you talk to me like that? What? Are you helping Huaer now? Oh, didn't you, Ye Shen, never choose sides?" Liu Fei said sarcastically.
Thinking back on how hard she had tried to pull ye shen to her side, she did not expect him to stand on Tong Huaer's side now!
"I don't have a choice now, but Miss Liu, it's hard to like someone like you." Ye Shen said with a straight face. Liu Fei's face turned red and white. He shouted at ye shen, "Do you think I wanted to hit that bitch? She asked for all this! She hit me first!"
"Miss Liu, you should speak to young master zong. But I advise you to leave now. After all, you have always been a paparazzi's target. If you get caught later, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain."
Ye Shen made it clear that he wouldn't let Liu Fei in. Liu Fei gritted his teeth, glared at him, and turned around to walk quickly to the elevator.
In the ward.
Tong Huaer fell asleep again in a daze. Zong Beili tucked her in and looked at her little face. A murderous look flashed in her eyes. She got up and walked out the door.
"Young master Zong."
The door of the ward opened and Ye Shen lowered his head respectfully.
"Who was outside just now?" Zongbei said expressionlessly.
"It's Miss Liufei. She said she came to apologize." Ye shen said.
"Apologize?" Zong Beili's thin lips pulled up a sneer and said in a cold tone, "Find out all the dirt in the The liu family!"
"Young master Zong, are you going to attack the The liu family? Is... Is your father..."
Ye Shen frowned.
I didn't expect that young master zong would not settle the score with Liu Fei but directly retaliate against the The liu family. However, the daughter-in-law that the zong family now recognizes is still Liu Fei. Even if Miss Tong was injured this time, Liu Fei is not reasonable, but there are some things that are not used to reason at all.
"Don't worry so much. Do as I tell you!"
Zongbei said expressionlessly.
Ye Shen looked grim and bowed his head respectfully, "Yes! Your subordinates know what to do."
When she opened her eyes again, it was already night. The room was dark and quiet without lights on.
Tong Huaer rubbed his eyes and sat up. Suddenly, he saw the light coming out of the room next to him. He frowned doubtfully and lifted the quilt to get out of bed.
Tong Huaer walked to the door and saw Zong Beili standing in front of the counter with his back to her, his head slightly lowered, his large hands with distinct joints stirring the spoon in the pot from time to time, and the smell of rice wafted in waves as he moved.
"Are you awake?"
Zong Beili suddenly turned his head, his handsome face in the warm yellow light was extremely noble.
"...
Tong Huaer regained his composure and nodded slightly.
"Come here." Zong Beili curled his lips and waved at her.
Tong Huaer walked over. Zong Beili put down his spoon and touched her forehead with a big warm hand. His eyebrows furrowed and he said unhappily, "Why are you still having a fever? Go sit on the sofa. I'll call the doctor!"
