Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The small truck, despite entering and leaving the community every day, would never arrive so late in the morning. Everything had been arranged by Meng Yu in advance.
The only purpose was to set up a scenario where Meng Xia would play the role of the heroine. However, the final result did not meet Meng Yu’s expectations.
“They are treating you well, but gratitude alone is not enough.” Meng Yu pulled Meng Xia’s hand, seemingly gently caressing it while wearing a cold smile.
Upon seeing Meng Yu’s expression, Meng Xia felt her body shiver, but she immediately pinched her thigh hard with another hand, trying to calm herself down. She then smiled and asked, “Aunt, what else do I need to do?”
She was well aware that it wasn’t easy for Meng Yu to provide her with a noble status. Even though Song Yin had considered herself the Song family’s young lady for so many years, after Song Fan’s return, she was completely surpassed. How could Meng Xia, a daughter of the Meng family, attain a noble status without sacrifices?
“I know you are a clever child,” Meng Yu continued with a smile. “To become someone exceptional, you must endure hardship. If you want to become outstanding, there are things you must do, and some suffering you must bear.”
Early the next morning, Meng Yu woke up, having almost not slept at all. Her mind was occupied with the ideas she had suggested to Meng Xia.
For the sake of future prosperity and to become someone distinguished, Meng Yu steeled her heart. She deliberately wore an all-white dress to appear more pitiful.
After taking a deep breath, she opened the door, wearing a smile.
It was breakfast time, and the Song family was already seated in the dining room since they didn’t want to disturb Meng Xia, who had been injured the previous day.
Upon seeing her emerge from her room, Song Kai was the first to stand up. “Xiao Xia, why don’t you rest a bit more? The doctor said you need to rest and not move around too much.”
“I’m fine now; I’m just a little dizzy. I’m afraid lying down all the time might not be good for my health,” Meng Xia said, still wearing an innocent smile.
However, when she reached the stairs, she paused. Upon looking up, she saw Meng Yu subtly nodding. Without hesitation, she smiled at Song Kai, “I didn’t eat much yesterday, and I’m a bit hungry now. Ah!”
Meng Xia’s acting skills were excellent. Combined with her genuine nervousness, even though she lived on the second floor, making herself fall deliberately was not an easy task. Whether it was due to guilt or genuine fear, she lost her balance and tumbled down.
No one expected this turn of events, and the scene became chaotic.
Song Fan, reacting the fastest, crossed over the chair and hurried to the stairs. However, by the time she supported Meng Xia, who was rolling down, it was too late. Meng Xia had already fainted, and her forehead had struck a copper ornament on the stairs, causing blood to trickle down her face and stain her white dress.
Though Song Fan held her, Meng Xia’s pulse was weak, and she remained unconscious.
Song Kai attempted to pick her up, but Song Fan stopped him. “We don’t know if she injured any bones just now, and she already had a minor concussion before. It’s better not to move her. Call an ambulance immediately.”
Song Ting also rushed over to help with basic first aid, and the living room turned chaotic.
Meng Yu was sobbing on the side. “Xiao Xia, it’s all my fault. Yesterday, she mentioned feeling dizzy, and I thought a minor concussion was nothing serious. If I had known, I should have had her stay at the hospital for observation.”
Song Yi hugged her shoulders, comforting her. “Don’t worry, Xiao Xia got injured while saving someone. With God, nothing will happen to her. Besides, she saved my son. The Song family will ensure her safety.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Yu cried even more, her pitiful appearance veiling the underlying scheming. This was the effect she wanted. As long as the Song family remembered Meng Xia’s favor, her plan could continue.
Song Kai followed the ambulance, feeling deeply remorseful since the previous day. If it weren’t for her trying to save him, why would Meng Xia be in such a state? Moreover, Meng Xia, always trying not to trouble his family, initially didn’t even want to go to the hospital..
