Chapter 55 - Costs

Xue Yuwei sat on the sofa in the other room as she watched everything with a sinister gaze. When her gaze landed on South Bridge's face, the corner of her mouth hooked up into a vicious sneer.

Why? She had been waiting for Yu Cen Ran for so many years, so why was it that the Yu Family had already decided that Xue Yuwei was her daughter-in-law? Yet, the appearance of the South Bridge had completely changed everything?

Xue Yuwei clenched her hands into fists — she was unwilling!

It was the South Bridge that caused him to become like this, the South Bridge must pay the price!

The brawny man's hand stretched out to the south bridge. If he got even a little closer, he would immediately touch the South Bridge's skin. But at that moment, the brawny man stopped, his face filled with hesitation.

On the other side, Xue Yuwei's voice came through the Bluetooth earpiece, "Continue. I told you to do it. You don't understand human speech do you?!"

The brawny man hesitated, "This woman seems to be Yu Cen Ran's woman. If I touch her, will I be okay?"

He was also here to watch the news and had been enjoying the limelight for the past few days.

Xue Yuwei immediately spat out. After receiving the money, she still wanted to retreat, this cowardly trash. "Hurry up, I'll give you millions more when the matter is over. If you go abroad, I don't believe that Yu Cen Ran will be able to chase you all the way to the ends of the earth."

The South Bridge quietly waited for the arrival of the nightmare, but it did not move for a long time. Its eyes narrowed into a slit, and when the South Bridge saw the strong man pressing his hand to his ear and mumbling some words in response, it was speaking to someone else.

As for who he was with, he didn't even need to think to know.

At this very moment, the strong man was stepping on the South Bridge, his body powerless, and the strong man had a burly body. If they fought head on, they would have no chance of winning.

The door was completely locked, so he definitely wouldn't be able to get out. Moreover, if he went out, he might even be caught by Xue Yu Wei. When he went out, he saw that the curtains were blown up by the wind and the windows were still open!

This was a good opportunity!

For some reason, the South Bridge suddenly had confidence in itself. His hands and feet recovered some strength, and he lifted his foot to smash it into the man's leg!

The stocky man was listening to Xue Yuwei's words. "She's a coincidence. She's a woman not treasured by Yu Cen Ran. Even if she moved, he wouldn't bat an eye."

As he was still thinking about Xue Yuwei's words, the man was caught off guard and did not notice the kick from South Bridge. Caught off guard, she fell to the ground and gasped from the pain.

She was halfway out of the window when the man cursed a whore and bent over to grab her arm and pull her inside.

"Scram!" Let me go! " The South Bridge was almost out of strength as it panted heavily.

The brawny man lost all patience as the pain from his body made him angry. "Stupid bitch, if you refuse to toast and drink the forfeit, I'll kill you!"

The vulgar words were unimaginable, and the strength in his hands increased. South Bridge knew that if they were dragged back, their fate would be unimaginable, and under the effects of the medicine, their potential would be revealed.

She lowered her head and bit down on the man's palm. She bit down so hard that she almost tore off the whole piece of meat.

The brawny man screamed and quickly pulled his hand back. Blood was flowing from his palm, and some parts of his body were covered with white bones.

"Damn, he's got a strong temper!" The man swore as he frowned in pain.

On the other side, when Xue Yuwei saw this scene, she was afraid that the South Bridge would actually run away, so she quickly took off her headphones and ran over. However, it was already too late.

Xue Yuwei was flustered and exasperated. With a ferocious look on her face, she slapped the brawny man in the face. "Trash, you can't even do this kind of thing well!"

Xue Yuwei rushed downstairs with her men. South Bridge was lying on the ground, and since it was the second floor, it didn't hit her head when she fell. She was fine, just lying on the ground, her body in pain.

When he turned his head and saw Xue Yuwei, he was both afraid and anxious. Afraid that she would bring him back, he shouted, "Help! "Help!"

The place where he fell was on the main road, and once South Bridge shouted this way, a kind-hearted person quickly came over, "Miss, why are you so careless?"

With a wave of the South Bridge Slash, Xue Yuwei and that person had already hidden themselves. "Someone wants to harm me. I'll trouble you. You must take me away!"

"Alright." The kind-hearted man took out his mobile phone to call the police, then dialed 120 again, waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

After doing all this, all the strength in Nanqiao's body was sucked away. His head tilted to the side, his eyes closed, and he completely fainted …

When he woke up again, what he saw when he opened his eyes was still the ceiling, still the same deathly white color. When he struggled to get up, the pain in his leg seemed to have been pierced by thousands of needles.

Zhan Xin was lying beside the sickbed. When she heard the noise, she raised her head and hugged South Bridge's body, crying until she was hoarse. "It's all my fault. Why did you leave yourself to that bitch Xue Yuwei?"

Nanqiao's throat was dry and hoarse, his voice cracked. "How long have I slept for?"

"It's been a day and a night."

Zhan Xin's eyes were as red and swollen as a walnut, and there were dark circles under her eyes. She didn't get a good rest, and her entire body was haggard. She joked from the South Bridge: "Her face was already dark and yellow. Now it turns into that of a yellow-faced woman."

Zhan Xin wiped away her tears as she scolded, "You heartless! Aren't you the one who's worried about me?!"

The two sisters were talking when the door was pushed open. Yu Cen Ran walked in with a cold aura. Housekeeper Zhang followed closely with a thermos bottle in his hand.

Seeing that South Bridge was sitting down, Yu Cen Ran was momentarily stunned. She quickened her steps and walked over. Her thick arms that belonged to a man hugged South Bridge tightly. "Idiot, you're worried to death."

His body was trembling.

Nanqiao took a few steps back as his gaze met Yu Cen Ran's chin. From the black stubble on his head, it was obvious that Yu Cen Ran was very nervous about him.

Zhan Xin chuckled and tactfully followed Housekeeper Zhang out of the room.

Yu Cen Ran's eyes were locked onto the South Bridge. His eyes were deep and vicious as he asked, "What exactly happened? Why did you hurt yourself so badly?"

South Bridge hesitated and bit his lower lip. After thinking about it, it was Xue Yuwei who went overboard. Without thinking too much into it, she told Yu Cen Ran everything that had happened.

How Xue Yuwei tricked him into drinking the poisoned coffee, hired someone to do dirty work on South Bridge, and how she escaped …

As South Bridge spoke, she carefully observed Yu Cen Ran's face. Every time she spoke, Yu Cen Ran's face would darken, and now it was as dark as the bottom of a pot!

"Xue Yuwei actually dared to touch you. It seems that she doesn't want to live anymore." Yu Cen Ran's eyes squinted dangerously as a storm passed by.

Nanqiao knew that Yu Cen Ran was extremely angry this time!

Yu Cen Ran placed her big hand on the back of the South Bridge. "Don't worry, I will definitely make Xue Yuwei pay the price. She should be prepared to go against me for what she did!"

The voice was like an Asura fiend from hell, and it sounded cold.

The South Bridge did not plan to plead for Xue Yuwei. If it wasn't for South Bridge's wit, who knew what kind of blow life would have to take right now.

However, the mistake that Xue Yuwei had made could not be worried about by anyone else!

Nanqiao leaned his head against Yu Cen Ran's broad and firm chest and comforted her, "I don't want to make a big deal out of this, and even more so, I don't want to make my mother worry."

Yu Cen Ran knew what South Bridge was worried about. "Don't worry. Mom's health is not good, so the matter won't reach her ears. You don't need to feel pressured. Just take good care of your body. As for Xue Yuwei, I will handle this properly …"

Yu Cen Ran spat out the last few words through gritted teeth.

Nanqiao looked at Yu Cen Ran's hateful expression and suddenly laughed out loud. With a 'puchi' sound, the smile on his face swept away the haze in Yu Cen Ran's eyes.

In the eyes of the South Bridge, Yu Cen Ran had always been expressionless and happy. When had she ever seen him in such a state of emotional exposure? But because of this, the distance between the two of them seemed to have grown closer.

Yu Cen Ran raised an eyebrow, "What are you laughing at?"

Nanqiao raised his hand and placed his soft hand between Yu Cen Ran's brows. He brushed away the wrinkles on his forehead. "It's nothing. It's just that I'm in a good mood all of a sudden. Let's not ruin our mood because of Xue Yuwei."

Yu Cen Ran nodded. She picked up the thermos bottle from the bed and scooped some soup into a bowl. She raised her spoon and gave it to Nanqiao to drink. The two of them did not speak, but the atmosphere became more harmonious.

"Oh yeah, Mom's in the hospital too. I want to see her later."

Yu Cen Ran cast a sidelong glance before curling her lips, "Sure, I'll accompany you. But you have to exchange the patient's clothes."

Nanqiao let out a happy sigh, not letting his mother worry. On the other hand, Yu Cen Ran was thoughtful. His warm and dry hand caressed Nanqiao's hair. It felt smooth, but Nanqiao was very obedient.

The atmosphere between the two was just right. At this moment, the door was pushed open. The two thought that Zhan Xin and the rest had returned, so they didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until someone appeared in front of them.

The person who walked in from the outside was someone neither Yu Cen Ran nor South Bridge had expected — it was the long-time missing Huo Ting.

Huo Ting, wearing a white sweater, walked in slowly. He put his black coat on the sofa beside him and carried a fruit basket in his hand.

The weather was a little cold outside. When South Bridge saw Huo Ting, surprise surged up in his eyes. He felt as if the temperature in the room had dropped by several degrees. Yu Cen Ran, who was originally fine, suddenly became the center of the Siberian cold current.

It seemed like they hadn't seen each other in a while. Ever since the incident last time, the South Bridge had automatically blocked Huo Ting's circle of friends and didn't know anything about Huo Ting's latest developments.

The people of the past had changed. South Bridge did not know how to react.

Nanqiao bit his lips, not knowing what to say. "Why are you here?"

Yu Cen Ran stared coldly at Huo Ting. Her eyes were narrowed, filled with hostility and vigilance.

Huo Ting ignored him. He brought along fresh flowers and fruits as he shot a cold glare at Yu Cen Ran, who blocked his path. Huo Ting then asked with concern, "South Bridge, what's going on? Is the injury serious? "

South Bridge did not speak. She already did not know what identity she should use to face Huo Ting.

Huo Ting was not shocked. He handed over the flowers in his hand. They were a bunch of white and beautiful stars that filled the sky. This was the kind of flowers that South Bridge loved the most in England, always complaining about not being able to buy in England.
