With a crisp "Pa ~", the blood-stained bullet jumped a few times on the clean white plate, then lay down on the plate quietly.
Seeing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief. He finally took out the bullet.
Xue Qi was frightened and powerless. His legs became weak as he slowly walked to the wall and held onto the wall, gasping heavily.
He had killed countless people, but this time he was scared stiff by a bullet and half dead.
After staying in the operating room for a long time and seeing that the doctor was about to finish stitching the wound, the three of them dispiritedly left the operation room as if their vital essence had been sucked away by a ghost.
Ming Xi's eyes were wide open as she stared at the white ceiling. She was slightly dazzled as she breathed in the faint smell of the medicine.
She remembered that a month ago, hovering on the brink of death, she had heard someone tell her that he could lend her everything he had.
"Could it be him?" Ming Xi lazily blinked her large eyes, pouted her small mouth, turned over on her stomach and began to talk to herself, "How could it be him? He hates himself so much, how could he say those words to himself? " He hadn't seen her since she'd been in the hospital and he'd never called her.
Thinking of this, Ming Xi felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. "He really hated himself, really hated himself!"
Since the day she saw him in the white fog and heard him say those words, she felt strangely dependent on him.
However, she didn't know the reason why she relied on him. Perhaps it was because she was afraid of a single person and he was the only person that she had caught on to. That was why she became reliant on him. However, she missed him a lot. She wanted to see him!
Although she had hallucinated that day, and what she had seen and heard did not exist, she had carefully and deceived herself into putting it in the deepest recesses of her heart to reassure herself that it was all true.
For the first time in her life, she felt warm and dependent.
"Xue Qi, are you surprised?" Ming Xi whispered this strange and familiar name.
As she watched the sky darken, she remembered that today was the day she would be discharged from the hospital.
Ming Xi rolled restlessly on the bed. I wonder if I'll see him tonight …
While Ming Xi was still in a state of confusion, someone pushed open the door to the ward.
Ming Xi sat up in fright. Looking at the short but lean figure, her smile blossomed like a flower. "Grandmother!"
She jumped off the bed and hugged Old Lady Xue's neck, saying intimately, "Grandma, I can just take a taxi back. Why did you come all the way here to pick me up?"
To this lively and kind grandma, Ming Xi felt that she was like her own grandmother. During the month she was hospitalized, she came to the hospital every day to accompany her, making her feel less bored. Their relationship soon became familiar and intimate.
Old Lady Xue pinched Liu Xi's cheek before she smiled and said, "Of course I'll come and fetch my darling when he leaves the hospital! "Aiyo, come and let Grandma see. Your spirit is good, does your chest still hurt?"
Thinking of the day she was shot, her eyes shone with a deep sense of heartache.
"It doesn't hurt anymore. With Grandmother taking care of me and loving me so much, I've long since recovered from my illness! " Ming Xi smiled brightly at Old Lady Xue.
The current her wouldn't feel lonely. At least she now truly felt sorry for her grandmother. But how long could this relationship last? After all, she wasn't her granddaughter-in-law, she was just a sinner!
Thinking of this, Ming Xi suppressed her emotions.
"Have you finished packing? Then let's go home and have a good meal today! " Old Mrs. Xue signaled for the attendants standing outside the door to come in. She picked up Tsui Xi's luggage and then held her hand as they walked out of the ward.
The moment Ming Xi heard that the "family" was going to eat, she became nervous and asked anxiously, "Then does Young Master want to go home to eat too?"
Old Lady Xue frowned as she lightly patted Ming Xi's hands. "What young master doesn't own a young master?" He should call her husband! Ming Xi, why did you call him Young Master? Did he mistreat you? "
Ming Xi's face alternated between red and white as she hurriedly changed the topic. "Grandmother, let's go home quickly. I'm so hungry!"
Old Lady Xue smiled. "Alright, then let's go back quickly!" However, seeing Ming Xi's evasive look, she knew what was going on.
She had heard a lot about the relationship between her grandson and her daughter-in-law from the servants this month. The anger in Ming Xi's heart rose when she saw the glint in her eyes. Furthermore, she avoided talking about her question.
However, he had an idea! How dare he bully her precious granddaughter-in-law? Killing without mercy!
Mingxi and Old Lady Xue chatted and laughed as they entered the main hall. The moment they entered, Sister Ling welcomed them with a smile. "Welcome home, Young Mistress!"
Ming Xi felt very awkward with this new title. However, due to the presence of Old Lady Xue, she merely nodded politely towards Sister Ling.
"Sister Ling, where are they?" Old Mrs. Xue asked.
"Old mistress, the two young masters are waiting for you in the backyard!" Sister Ling was still smiling brightly, especially when she looked at Tantai, which made her smile even more flattering.
"Ming Xi, let's go eat! Didn't he say he was hungry? Don't be so hungry! " Old Lady Xue gave Sister Ling a sidelong glance before pulling Nai Xi with her towards the backyard.
When they arrived at the backyard, Xue Qi and Xue Zhiwei were sitting beside the rattan chair, coldly looking at each other without any intention of talking. Noticing Ming Xi and Mrs. Xue had arrived, he stood up and walked over to them.
"Grandmother!" Xue Qi yelled at Old Lady Xue in shock and courtesy.
However, Xue Zhiwei smiled evilly and shouted at Ming Xi, "Mother Yaksha, congratulations on being released from the hospital alive." Then, he stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace …
