Chapter 385: Misunderstanding Cleared (Bonus Chapter For 桜苒)
In the ambulance, the nurses quickly examined Chi Xiaocheng and Fang Ning.
Chi Xiaocheng only had a slap mark on her face, causing some redness and swelling. However, with the healing power of her orange cells, she was almost completely recovered by the time she was lifted into the ambulance.
She only needed an ice pack and a medical patch.
Fang Ning's condition was more serious.
Her body was covered in bruises and whip marks, with her knees being the most severely injured, requiring casts before she could recover.
Since she didn't have orange cells, it would take her about half a month of normal recovery before she could even get out of bed, to prevent any long-term effects.
It could only be said that Liu Guijia's death was well-deserved.
As for who was behind her, that was something Si Chen needed to investigate.
The ambulance wasn't spacious. To ease the cramped feeling, Chi Xiaocheng sat on Su Tao's lap in the chair.
Su Tao wrapped her arms around her slender waist, and she snuggled into the girl's embrace.
Fang Ning's hospital bed was right across from Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng.
A pillow supported her back, securing her to the bed.
Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was the two girls in front of her, hugging and cuddling.
Then, she looked up and met Su Tao's gaze.
"Hmph~!" Fang Ning immediately turned her head away and snorted softly.
But then she worried that Chi Xiaocheng might misunderstand and think she disliked her.
So she turned her head back, but instead of looking at Su Tao, she looked at the little one in her arms.
"I'm sorry, Xiaocheng-jie."
Fang Ning had already apologized earlier, but she still couldn't help feeling guilty because Xiaocheng-jie had been hurt because of her.
Chi Xiaocheng waved her hand dismissively, "It's okay, as long as you're alright."
She quickly changed the subject, "I haven't had a chance to ask, how did you get kidnapped, Ningning?"
"I..." Fang Ning touched her cheek with her index finger, feeling a little embarrassed. "I was feeding the kittens at the cat cafe when Liu Guijia came in. She talked to me about what happened in the past and said she would change for the better."
"Then…she said she had made plans with you and wanted to bring me along to clear up the misunderstanding."
"I didn't think much of it and went with her, then she knocked me out and stole my phone."
"When I woke up, I was tied up there. Liu Guijia seemed…not quite right in the head. She used to be just a bit mean, but now she's become very…violent."
Fang Ning didn't know how else to describe it.
She chose not to say more.
Liu Guijia had beaten her for days, and her foul language had never stopped. She didn't want Chi Xiaocheng to know about it.
Anyway, it was over now.
She would just secretly keep the bad things in her heart.
As Fang Ning spoke, she remembered something important and said to Chi Xiaocheng, "But I remember when Liu Guijia was on the phone with someone, she mentioned something about a Ye."
As soon as that surname was mentioned.
Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao quickly exchanged a look.
Young Master Ye the Second!
They never expected that the person who wanted to target Chi Xiaocheng, instead of Su Tao alone, was actually the second young master who had taken over Ye Liang's position and come to Jiuzhou City to manage the Ye family!
He had made a fool of himself at the last banquet, but he had also reached an agreement with Dongfang Yang to stay out of each other's way.
They didn't expect him to be engaging in such petty actions.
Su Tao couldn't figure out why.
But Chi Xiaocheng knew that it must be driven by the world's will.
The enemies hadn't decreased at all.
But the good news was that Young Master Ye the Second was just a villainous supporting character, not the main character, so he wouldn't be too difficult to deal with.
As they were talking, Su Tao looked at Fang Ning.
The somewhat dense girl didn't know how to express herself tactfully, so she said directly, "I'm sorry, Fang Ning, I…I misunderstood you just now."
Fang Ning pouted, "Don't talk to me in that tone. Are you going to say that you thought I would try to steal Xiaocheng-jie from you?"
Su Tao opened her mouth, but still nodded honestly.
Her previous hostile gaze hadn't been concealed at all.
Fang Ning said angrily, "Who would try to steal Xiaocheng-jie from you? Xiaocheng-jie likes… I knew that Xiaocheng-jie used to like you."
Ningning was very sensible, okay?
Besides…
There was something Fang Ning didn't say.
She was already very happy and satisfied to be considered her younger sister, to become family, to be able to call her Xiaocheng-jie.
What right did she have to ask for anything more?
She would stop here.
And be content.
Fang Ning's hostility towards Su Tao wasn't because she liked Chi Xiaocheng. It was purely because she was angry at Su Tao's lack of drive.
The two of them also didn't have equal information. What Fang Ning saw was Chi Xiaocheng getting hurt time and time again, and Su Tao being too slow to give Chi Xiaocheng what she wanted.
After some explanation, Su Tao understood Fang Ning's feelings.
She finally confirmed that it was because she had been feeling insecure and had been frantically imagining things, which had led to her hostility towards Fang Ning.
But in reality, this little girl was quite nice.
However, in the depths of Su Tao's heart, there was still a little doubt and resistance, so she simply asked directly, "Then Fang Ning, last New Year, when you and Xiaocheng shared a room, were you…"
"We slept on the floor!"
Fang Ning shouted directly, and then couldn't hold back any longer.
After getting Chi Xiaocheng to leave Su Tao's embrace.
She pointed at Su Tao and began to scold her relentlessly.
Although it was scolding, it was actually concern for their relationship, hoping that Su Tao would treat Chi Xiaocheng better.
Her voice was still soft, and she sounded weak because of her injuries. To some perverts, this kind of "scolding" was actually more like a reward.
The nurses watched all of this and couldn't help but feel amused.
After Fang Ning got tired of scolding, even Chi Xiaocheng came to calm her down.
For a moment, she even forgot that she was supposed to have a "lack of emotions" persona.
Su Tao felt ashamed, but also breathed a sigh of relief and felt even happier.
Fang Ning wasn't a competitor, which was reassuring.
Chi Xiaocheng's feelings seemed to be leaning more and more towards her former love, which made Su Tao feel happy again.
Sure enough, the reason why a bunch of people confessed to her before, and why she went out to play with Dongfang Yang, was because she hadn't had time to watch Xiaocheng all the time.
That sense of crisis must have been an illusion, right?
Su Tao watched Chi Xiaocheng and Fang Ning chatting happily.
Her worries had been resolved, and she no longer felt the anxiety she used to feel when she saw them interacting.
Before long, Si Chen also squeezed into the ambulance. "Let's leave those people for now. I'll have someone investigate the specifics of this situation. Considering that Chu Lingfeng might also cause trouble later, should you move somewhere else?"
Si Chen suggested, "Your apartment complex has too many people and too many eyes. It's too unsafe. I can provide you with a house, or have Dongfang Yang provide you with a house."
"Actually, I would recommend a large villa with our people as maids and bodyguards. That would be much safer."
If necessary, they could even use that place as bait to lure Chu Lingfeng out and deal with him in advance.
But these were just plans.
What mattered more now was Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng's choice.
