Chapter 301

“Who?!”

“Lu Liting? Lu Lixing’s younger brother?”

Yu Yang squinted and half-smiled. “At first, I didn’t realize it, but now that I think about it, it’s Lu Liting. He was such a loser, he could only watch me snatch Ji Qingqing from him.”

“Brother Yu, you’re so corrupt!”

“So, Ji Qingqing was in a relationship with Lu Liting, and now, she’s with Lu Lixing... Now that they’re living under the same roof, will the old love rekindle and then...” A burst of disgusting laughter followed.

“Isn’t Lu Lixing always very busy? It will probably happen sooner or later.”

Several people laughed harder.

Li Liting quietly listened in his booth. He picked up his wine glass and slowly drank the wine then he put it down. He stood up and walked toward Yu Yang’s booth.

The bar was dim and the few second-generation heirs were carried away by the atmosphere. Seeing a person standing beside their booth, they thought it was only a waiter and didn’t pay attention to him. Lu Liting stepped over the low table, grabbed Yu Yang’s collar, and squeezed his body against the sofa. He raised his fist and smashed it onto Yu Yang’s face.

Yu Yang grunted in pain and before he could get a clear view of his attacker’s face, the violent force of that person’s fists rushed at him. After a few, unbearable pain, he tasted blood.

The others froze for a moment. How could they possibly know that in this place, someone was still willing to mess with them?

When they came back to their senses, Yu Yang had already been violently pressed and punched a few times. They didn’t hear his screams, but the sound of fists hitting flesh was overly loud.

“Stop! Who the fuck are you? Do you know who we are?”

“Fuck!” One of the men grabbed a bottle of wine and smashed it on the back of Lu Liting’s head.

With a bang, the bottle shattered. Lu Liting’s violent actions slowed and blood dripped from his head, soaking his shirt in a shocking red.

Within a few moments, two of Yu Yang’s friends knocked him to the ground.

“Brother Yu, are you okay?”

Even though Yu Yang and the others had left, Lu Liting stayed in his spot, lost in thought. He was staring in a certain direction, his eyes unfocused.

The bar owner offered to take him to the hospital, but Lu Liting refused and left the bar without saying another word.

He was too drunk to drive, so he stopped a cab on the side of the road. One finally stopped and Lu Liting entered. The driver saw Lu Liting’s wretched appearance through the rearview mirror and screamed out loud, “Destination?”

Lu Liting murmured, “To the hospital.”

The driver pressed the accelerator and they arrived at the hospital thirty minutes later.

Lu Liting took out a few hundred yuan bills and gave them to the driver. He went out, entered the emergency room, and had his wound disinfected and dressed. The doctor asked a few questions and he only gave brief answers. Other than that, he stayed quiet most of the time.

After the doctor treated his wound, he looked at the X-rays taken of his head injury and said, “Your head injury is serious. You must stay for observation, so take this slip and pay the bill.”

Lu Liting took the slip and went to pay the bill. A nurse arranged a room for him in the ward.

At ten o’clock, the ward hallway was very quiet, and you could hear footsteps — loud and clear.

“Your room is here. Please follow me.” In front of the nurse station, a petite nurse guided him to walk to the right side of the desk.

Lu Liting had just taken two steps when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the left side of the desk.

“Nurse, my husband complains of dizziness and headache. Sometimes his wound hurts. His limbs show signs of weakness, too. He’s not getting any better. Can you take a look at him?”

“Miss Ji, don’t worry. I’ll check on him right away.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Liting didn’t dare to turn around as he froze on the spot.

Ji Qingqing was ready to go with the nurse to the ward, but her eyes unintentionally caught a glimpse of Lu Liting’s back. The bloody shirt was very eye-catching and it was impossible not to notice.

But she just glanced at him and retracted her eyes. Ji Qingqing immediately returned to the ward with the nurse.

Lu Liting gazed at Ji Qingqing’s retreating form, raised his hands, and wiped his eyes.
