Du Jingwei's eyes widened, the whites almost completely filled with bloodshot veins, her hysterical demeanor bordering on madness.
"A misunderstanding?"
"It's absolutely impossible for me to misunderstand that little bastard. Even if he turned to dust, I would recognize him."
"He was the one who found people to deal with me before. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be like this now. Do you know how much pain and torment I've endured?"
"Nianxue, you absolutely cannot… with him again…"
Mid-sentence, Du Jingwei's voice trailed off unnaturally.
Her gaze landed on the person standing at the doorway.
Mu Feng walked in with a smile, carrying some fruit.
Two heads were peeking in from the hallway entrance: Scarface and San.
Their faces were contorted with malicious intent, as if eagerly awaiting her to continue.
She couldn't help but shiver, pointing to the doorway and shouting angrily, "Nianxue, look outside, those two scumbags are there."
"They completely follow Mu Feng's orders, and they were the ones who attacked me!"
Su Nianxue turned abruptly.
She found that besides Mu Feng, no one else had entered.
She immediately ran to the doorway, looking left and right, but still saw no one.
"Mom, I'm willing to believe you, so I went to look at the door. There's no one in either of the long corridors."
"Are you saying that just because you saw Brother Feng arrive?"
"I don't know why you're injured like this, but I believe Brother Feng wouldn't just have others attack you."
Su Nianxue and Mu Feng had been a couple for seven years, practically childhood sweethearts.
They had known each other since they were young and understood each other deeply.
Mu Feng said with a smile, "What if it really was me who caused it?"
Su Nianxue shook her head, "You know Mom's personality, don't stir up trouble. Put the fruit down and go back. There's a lot going on at the company."
"Since your matters should be finished, can you help me handle something at the company?"
"Consider it helping me."
Her voice held a hint of coyness.
Mu Feng smiled and pinched her fair, delicate cheek, "Since you've asked, how can I refuse?"
"I'm going back to the company now. You're almost there. The company is in its prime for development and needs you."
"This fruit was just something I picked up on the way."
After speaking, his gaze fell upon Du Jingwei, who was lying in bed.
At this moment, Du Jingwei didn't dare to meet Mu Feng's eyes, her gaze filled with evasiveness and, more so, fear.
Seeing that her daughter didn't believe her, she understood that she could not frame Mu Feng.
Moreover, if truth be told, this matter wasn't Mu Feng's fault at all.
She knew this in her heart, but she resented Mu Feng for not saving her in time.
"Since you're so seriously injured, rest well in the hospital and don't cause Nianxue any trouble," Mu Feng said calmly. As his lips moved slightly,
his voice seemed to transform into a fine thread, entering Du Jingwei's ears directly.
Su Nianxue, however, heard nothing.
This was sound transmission.
Du Jingwei's eyes suddenly widened, disbelief flickering within them. She instinctively looked at her daughter.
"You… you didn't hear anything?"
Su Nianxue's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, "Mom, did your injury leave any after-effects? Should we get another neurological check-up?"
"Brother Feng just said for you not to cause trouble, he didn't say anything else, did he?"
Du Jingwei felt even more fear towards Mu Feng. His methods were too bizarre, and his strength made her tremble.
Mu Feng smiled, "Then I'll head back to the company. If there's anything there, I'll rush to help you handle it first."
Su Nianxue hurriedly said, "Brother Feng, I haven't told you about the company's difficulties yet!"
"It's nothing more than medicinal ingredients. The most important thing now is to hoard medicinal ingredients. I'll take care of this matter," Mu Feng said with a smile, waving his hand, and then walked out of the ward.
Su Nianxue bit her red lip slightly, surprised that Brother Feng was still paying attention to her even when he wasn't at the company.
As she turned her head, her gaze held a hint of complaint.
"Mom, Brother Feng isn't the kind of person you think he is. He's really good to me. There must be some misunderstanding between you, or you've misunderstood Brother Feng. You still haven't told me why you ended up like this?"
Du Jingwei's eyes were filled with intense hatred, "It's because of him. And why don't you believe me? He's just an outsider, I'm your real mother."
"Let me tell you the truth, he…"
As the words left her mouth, her gaze fell upon San, who had appeared at the ward entrance. In San's hand, a sharp pair of scissors emerged, and he licked his lips, making a snipping motion.
This sight made Du Jingwei tremble.
In fact, both of them were also patients in the ward.
They had also suffered not insignificant injuries, and now they had to keep an eye on this old biddy, ensuring she didn't speak carelessly.
Su Nianxue instinctively turned her head but saw nothing. She asked again, "What happened to Brother Feng?"
Du Jingwei no longer dared to speak carelessly. Her tongue might truly be cut off by those people. She had originally intended to frame Mu Feng for everything,
but now she lacked the courage.
"Nothing, I'm just angry that that little bastard gave your father five million. With so much money, who knows what he'll turn into."
"Let me tell you, men change for the worse when they get rich…"
Su Nianxue felt a headache coming on listening to her mother's endless chatter.
Meanwhile, at the company.
Mu Feng called his little secretary over.
"Is the problem with acquiring medicinal ingredients that serious?"
The little secretary nodded quickly, "I don't know who leaked the news, but they said our company has developed a very powerful skincare product, and now it needs medicinal ingredients as its formula for mass production."
"And the suppliers of those medicinal ingredients have very few cooperative agreements with us. Now they've quoted us an exorbitant price."
As soon as she finished speaking, laughter erupted from outside the door.
"We're not quoting you an exorbitant price, but we do want a piece of the pie."
A middle-aged man walked in, sporting a beer belly, his hair slicked back, and wearing a hypocritical smile.
"We've received confirmation that the new formula your Su Group has developed is indeed very powerful, capable of completely revolutionizing the cosmetics industry."
"The cosmetics industry is already a high-profit business. If you release that formula, you can directly monopolize the market."
"With such a great opportunity, naturally, we hope the Su Group can help us prosper together."
