Chapter 604: Chapter 606: Visiting the Set (6)
He indeed couldn’t forgive a girlfriend who had betrayed him, yet, whenever he thought about their impending breakup, his heart began to throb with pain.
But no matter how agonizing the pain, he resolutely knocked on the door.
“Knock, knock, knock”
No one responded from inside the house. He furrowed his brow and knocked on the door once more, with force.
“Knock, knock, knock”
Still, there was no response.
The volume of his knocking gradually increased, to the point where he nearly started to kick down the door, losing all patience. However, the Lu Family’s door remained firmly shut.
An Aunt from upstairs came downstairs to buy groceries, and appeared genuinely surprised to see him.
This area housed residents that had known each other for decades, and soon after the Lu Family’s mother married Bai Changyou, she moved away from the neighbourhood. Nonetheless, everyone still knew her: “Are you looking for the Lu Family?”
Qin Zhigu nodded.
“They’ve gone out.”
Upon hearing that, Qin Zhigu immediately turned and left the place.
“Hey, young man.” She was still speaking when, not too long ago, an ambulance had arrived.
Having left the residential complex, Qin Zhigu didn’t take any transportation but aimlessly wandered the streets alone, walking rapidly and mindlessly. He had no idea where he was going or for how long he would continue walking.
As dusk approached, he reached into his pocket and pricked his finger on something sharp. Upon retrieval, he found that it was his cell phone that Cai Yiren had forcefully returned to him. Coincidentally, there was a cell phone shop not too far from him. Realizing that he didn’t have a phone and he still had some money, he decided to walk in and buy a new one.
No sooner had he inserted his SIM card and turned on the phone, a call came in. It was from the Bai Family: “What the hell are you doing, there’s been an accident here!”
By the time Qin Zhigu arrived at the hospital, Cai Yiren’s bleeding had already been stopped.
She lay on the bed, pallor-faced, still in her sleep, looking weak and feeble. Standing next to her was the tear-streaked mother of Cai and Bai Changyou, the latter of whom had his back turned.
The doctor by the side remarked, “Fortunately, we discovered her condition in time and stopped the bleeding; however, the patient has lost a lot of blood and her mental state isn’t very stable. Now, the young girl’s mental state is very vulnerable as well. If we don’t pay careful attention to her and reduce the stress factors surrounding her, she might choose to self-harm again.”
The doctor shook his head: “I’ve seen countless people who’ve feigned suicide or put on a show of despair just for attention. But this young girl truly wanted to kill herself. These self-inflicted wounds are deep, and will likely leave scars.”
No, the question was, why did Cai Yiren’s suicide have anything to do with him?
However, he now understood why they had called him here.
After the doctor left, Cai’s mother slapped Qin Zhigu across the face: “Just now, were you the one who hit Yiren? Were you the one who called her ‘rotten apple doesn’t fall far from the rotten tree’, saying that she was also a nonentity? And were you the one who said that no one from the Bai Family was any good? That she inherited from her father the habit of playing both sides? Was it you who said all this!”
Upon hearing these words, even Bai Changyou couldn’t help furrowing his brows.
Qin Zhigu felt the impact of the slap, his brows furrowing slightly.
But every accusation from Cai’s mother was true: he indeed had said all those things, and it was indeed his slap that had struck Cai Yiren’s face.
Cai’s mother sobbed, “I did something unforgivable to Sister Lu, but my daughter Yiren has never wronged you! Do you know the first thing she said when she was brought back to life? She said she hoped you and Wei Hui could be well! What kind of man are you? Did you vent your anger on my daughter because you had a quarrel with Wei Hui?”
