Meng Jingwei landed a kick, finding it insufficient. She delivered several more blows, causing Qing Sihhuai to faint on the spot from the pain.
"Ah, Meng Jingwei, what are you doing?"
Shu Yao, returning with gifts, saw Meng Jingwei beating someone as she reached the living room entrance. Upon closer inspection, she realized the person lying on the ground was Qing Sihhuai.
The gift in her hand dropped to the floor with a bang, and she immediately rushed forward, shoving Meng Jingwei away. "Are you crazy? I told you, Qing Sihhuai is a patient, how could you do this to him?"
Shu Yao's eyes turned red with anger. Her furious expression suggested she wanted to tear Meng Jingwei apart.
Meng Jingwei watched Shu Yao's eyes well up. She knelt on the ground, shaking Qing Sihhuai's body. "Ah Huai, Ah Huai, wake up? Wuwu... Ah Huai, don't scare me!"
"Shu Yao?"
She called out, but Shu Yao ignored her.
Meng Jingwei patiently called out again, but Shu Yao continued to fuss over Qing Sihhuai.
Finally, Meng Jingwei couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed Shu Yao's arm and yanked her up, slapping her across the face. "Damn it, calm down and listen to me, alright?"
The heavy slap stunned Shu Yao. She stood there, dumbfounded, staring at Meng Jingwei.
"You didn't believe me, did you? He's fainted now, so here's your chance. In Lancheng, pick any hospital you want, except the ones he's already been to. If any hospital confirms he has cancer, then when he wakes up, I, Meng Jingwei, will kneel and apologize to him!"
Meng Jingwei declared with conviction.
Shu Yao's mind went blank for a few seconds. Then, seeing Meng Jingwei's serious expression and recalling Qing Muye's warning at Songyu Group, she cast a meaningful glance at the unconscious Qing Sihhuai on the ground.
After much hesitation, she finally nodded. "Alright, you said it. If Ah Huai is diagnosed, I'll be watching you apologize to him."
Although Shu Yao was naive, she knew Meng Jingwei meant well. Kneeling to apologize was unlikely, but if it was confirmed, Meng Jingwei would have to apologize to Ah Huai. Only by having Qing Sihhuai examined in front of Meng Jingwei could she convince herself.
Thus, the two called for an ambulance and rushed Qing Sihhuai to Lancheng People's Hospital as quickly as possible.
Upon arrival at the hospital, when the doctor asked about the patient's condition, Meng Jingwei concealed the truth and directly told the doctor, "Doctor, the patient might have liver cancer and fainted. Please give him a check-up quickly."
"Why isn't he hospitalized if it's liver cancer? Alright, alright, you two go pay the fees, and I'll take the patient for the examination." The doctor pushed the mobile patient bed and left.
"Wait."
Seeing the doctor about to leave, Meng Jingwei called out and stepped forward to instruct the doctor, "Doctor, his psychological tolerance is low. Whatever you find out, please tell... " She glanced back at Shu Yao before continuing, "...tell his wife."
"Okay, no problem." The doctor was accustomed to such requests. After all, most patients found it difficult to accept sudden illnesses.
The doctor pushed Qing Sihhuai into the emergency room, while Meng Jingwei went with Shu Yao to the payment counter. Shu Yao remained in a bad mood and unwilling to talk to Meng Jingwei.
"This hospital was chosen by you, Qing Sihhuai doesn't know, and I don't know either. You should trust yourself," Meng Jingwei sighed, shaking her head. "Shu Yao, you're truly... truly too naive." She let out another sigh, seemingly at a loss for how to handle Shu Yao.
Shu Yao's heart was filled with anxiety. She knew Meng Jingwei was treating her well, and she had broken up with Qing Muye, so there was no reason for Meng Jingwei to lie because of the conflict between Qing Muye and Qing Sihhuai. There were only two possibilities. Either Qing Sihhuai had lied to her, or Meng Jingwei had misunderstood. If it was the latter, she would forgive even a single apology. But if it was the former, Shu Yao truly didn't know what to do.
"Weiwei, let me ask you. How did you know about Qing Sihhuai's condition?" Shu Yao hadn't reacted earlier, but now that she calmly thought about it, Meng Jingwei appeared at the villa and saw Qing Sihhuai without showing much surprise. Moreover, when she mentioned Qing Sihhuai had cancer, Meng Jingwei's face displayed an expression of 'as expected.'
Meng Jingwei leaned against the wall, her cold eyes fixed on Shu Yao. "If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it."
Shu Yao: "..." It was as good as saying nothing.
Anxiously, Shu Yao sat on the corridor bench, enduring immense torment. She felt that every minute and second was a psychological torture. Since Meng Jingwei had claimed Qing Sihhuai had cancer when he was brought in, the examination results were expedited.
In less than half an hour, the emergency room door opened, and the doctor emerged, glaring at the two women. "This patient is perfectly fine, where did the cancer come from?"
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Meng Jingwei remained calm and composed, but Shu Yao's face turned ashen. She stood there blankly for a while before stepping forward, grabbing the doctor's sleeve, and emotionally exclaiming, "What did you say? You mean... he, he, he doesn't have cancer?"
"No, no cancer, he's perfectly fine." The doctor mistakenly believed Shu Yao's excitement was due to the good news. He continued, "You must have been misdiagnosed at some hospital before. He's very healthy, all his indicators are normal, he's very healthy."
"No, impossible... impossible..." Shu Yao staggered back a few steps, tears welling up in her dim eyes. "How could he not have cancer?"
"Although misdiagnoses are not common, they do happen quite frequently. Your husband is indeed healthy. If you don't believe me, you can get checked at another hospital," the doctor advised Shu Yao.
"Doctor, are you sure you didn't make a mistake in your examination? If he wasn't sick, why would he have fainted?" Shu Yao grabbed the doctor, pressing him for an answer. She never imagined that Qing Sihhuai had been beaten unconscious by Meng Jingwei.
"We are also checking the situation." When the two mentioned cancer, they had only considered it from that angle. Who knew the result was a mistake, and they had to re-examine everything.
Just then, a nurse came out, whispered a few words into the doctor's ear, and then turned back into the emergency room.
"What's wrong, Doctor?" Shu Yao's gaze flickered, her impatience evident.
"What happened to the patient before he came here?" The doctor asked, scrutinizing Shu Yao and shaking his head. His expression turned serious. "You and your husband are still young, do you have children?"
"Yes," Meng Jingwei, standing beside them, immediately replied.
"Hoo..." The doctor sighed in relief. "That's good. The patient's testicles are completely ruptured. We are doing our best to repair them. However, the situation is not optimistic. In the worst-case scenario, he may not be able to have children in the future. Please be prepared."
After speaking, the doctor turned and went back into the emergency room. Meng Jingwei's left eyebrow arched. Hearing the doctor's words, she suddenly felt a sense of relief and satisfaction. The scoundrel deserved such a fate. Shu Yao, on the other hand, stood there with a blank mind, her reaction delayed, only tears sliding down her cheeks.
