He was still dwelling on the incident where Liu Yifeng had called the police and had him arrested.
Although the police hadn't actually arrested him, he hadn't received a single cent of the money he'd intended to use to treat his son. Consequently, his feelings towards Liu Yifeng were far from positive.
"I heard Chenguang was hospitalized, so I bought some nutritional supplements and fruit at the supermarket this morning to visit him!" Liu Yifeng said as he unloaded the items from his car.
"Who wants your crocodile tears? If you hadn't refused to offer any compensation, would I have had to discharge my son from the hospital due to lack of funds and let him suffer like this?" Liu Shengyang did not accept Liu Yifeng's goodwill.
Seeing that Liu Shengyang was still blaming him for the matter, Liu Yifeng couldn't help but frown. "Uncle Shengyang, the police stated that Chenguang's injury had nothing to do with me. I offered five thousand yuan out of good intentions. If you're not grateful, fine, but don't resort to moral blackmail.
To put it bluntly, if I hadn't arrived in time back then, Chenguang would have likely been torn to shreds by the wolves by now," Liu Yifeng said with a cold expression.
Liu Shengyang was rendered speechless. At that moment, Liu Chenguang's mother, Su Jie, walked over. "Yifeng, don't be angry. Your Uncle Shengyang is just heartbroken seeing Chenguang in this state.
He isn't deliberately targeting you. I'm very happy that you've come to see Chenguang.
Chenguang heard your voice from his room just now and wants to talk to you." Su Jie's eyes glistened with tears.
What mother could bear to see their healthy son reduced to such a state?
Liu Yifeng's expression softened slightly. "Auntie, please don't be too upset. Being alive is the most important thing. This is a little nutritional supplement I bought. Remember to give it to Chenguang; it will help him recover!"
"Thank you for your generosity!" Su Jie took the items with gratitude.
In fact, she knew that this matter was not Liu Yifeng's fault at all. She hadn't stopped her husband from making a scene last time.
On the contrary, she was very grateful to Liu Yifeng for saving her son's life in time. Otherwise, her son would have died long ago, without even a whole body.
After Liu Yifeng went in, she looked displeasedly at her husband. "Are you even a man? We are incapable ourselves, and our son has to be hospitalized. How can you blame Liu Yifeng?
Fortunately, this junior doesn't hold it against you; otherwise, you wouldn't get anything good from him in the future."
Liu Shengyang dared not retort, chastised by his wife. Did he really want to be the bad guy?
He had no choice but to try and get some money from Liu Yifeng for his son's treatment.
He had made up his mind to do this, even if he was cursed by the villagers later. Nothing was more important than his son's life.
Liu Yifeng entered Liu Chenguang's room and saw that his face was covered in scars from stitches, even his mouth had been stitched up. He was utterly disfigured.
Even though he had mentally prepared himself, he was still startled.
When he had saved Chenguang, the blood had obscured the injuries on his face, so he had always assumed he had only been bitten in one place.
Who would have thought he would be bitten to such a ghastly extent.
Setting aside the loss of his left hand, his face alone might make it impossible for any girl to marry him in the future.
Seeing Liu Yifeng struggle to sit up, Liu Chenguang was told by Liu Yifeng to lie down quickly. "Don't move. Lie down and rest well."
"My mom told me you drove away the wolves on the mountain and saved my life. Thank you!" Liu Chenguang said weakly.
"We are all from the same village. When I learned you were in danger, I couldn't stand by and do nothing. It's a pity I arrived too late!" Liu Yifeng expressed some regret.
If only he could have arrived a few minutes earlier.
"You can't blame yourself for this. This is our fate. Compared to Qingyun losing his life, my injuries are nothing!
I heard my father's words just now. I hope you don't take them to heart. Once I recover, I will find a way to repay your life-saving grace."
Although he could be a bit of a hooligan sometimes, he was not unreasonable.
Especially after a brush with death, he understood the preciousness of life.
His life was given by Liu Yifeng, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him his reborn parent.
Liu Yifeng quickly said, "I don't need any repayment from you. I just hope you won't give up on yourself in the future and face life positively and optimistically."
He knew that Liu Chenguang would inevitably face cold remarks from outsiders in the future. People with low resilience would generally not be able to accept it.
Liu Chenguang gave a bitter smile. "My life is already at an end. With my appearance, who would dare hire me when I go out to work? I'll probably be a burden to my parents my whole life."
"As long as there is life, there is hope.
I've seen many people without hands or legs who still live vibrant lives, so you must be optimistic. The most important thing right now is to recuperate and strive for a speedy recovery." Liu Yifeng did not mention that he could offer him a suitable job, as he did not want him to develop a sense of dependence.
He still hoped that Liu Chenguang could change his current situation through his own efforts.
If all else failed, he would then think of ways to help him solve his basic needs.
After chatting with Liu Chenguang for a while, Liu Yifeng returned home.
As soon as he got home, Liu Chunsheng noticed the wound on his arm and immediately asked with concern, "What happened to your arm?"
Liu Yifeng was surprised by his father's sharp eyes; he hadn't expected him to notice.
"I just accidentally fell outside, but it's only an external injury. It'll be fine once I apply some ointment," Liu Yifeng lied, not daring to tell the truth.
Otherwise, if his father knew he had injured himself catching a child falling from the third floor, he would surely point a finger at him and scold him.
Liu Chunsheng didn't suspect anything. "How could you be so careless? You fell that badly. Did you buy ointment?"
"Yes, yes, it's in the car!" Liu Yifeng said, retrieving the ointment from the hospital from the passenger seat.
"Let me apply some for you. Be careful these few days and avoid spicy or greasy foods," Liu Chunsheng said, his actions proving his concern despite his seemingly scolding tone.
Liu Yifeng smiled. "Dad, I already applied it at the hospital. I'll apply it again tonight."
"Alright then. I've made dinner, so eat quickly and then rest for a while!" Liu Chunsheng proactively served Liu Yifeng and kept putting food on his plate.
Liu Yifeng was a bit helpless. "Dad, I only sprained my hand, it's not broken. I can already serve myself food. Don't just focus on me; you eat too!"
"What, you dislike my chopsticks having saliva on them?" Liu Chunsheng looked at Liu Yifeng displeasedly.
Liu Yifeng found his father to be surprisingly sensitive and couldn't help but laugh. "Dad, how can you say that? I wouldn't dislike anyone before disliking you!"
"Then stop talking nonsense. Just eat what I put on your plate," Liu Chunsheng replied, then added another piece of food to Liu Yifeng's plate.
By the end, Liu Yifeng was so full he didn't want to move.
"Go to your room and rest for a while. I'll clean up here!" Liu Chunsheng stood up, stacked the bowls and plates, and went to the kitchen.
At this moment, Liu Yifeng felt an itch on his ankle. He looked down and saw Da Bai licking him with its tongue.
Remembering that it hadn't eaten lunch yet, he poured some dog food into its bowl.
Seeing the dog food, Da Bai wagged its tail like a propeller and ate happily, humming along, which was incredibly cute.
Seeing it engrossed in eating, Liu Yifeng didn't disturb it and returned to his room.
Since his back was also injured, he couldn't lie flat and had to sleep on his side.
Meanwhile, in a high-end residential complex, Xu Muqing, after coaxing Yaoyao to sleep, sat on the living room sofa, working on her tablet.
Just as she finished processing a document, her phone rang. Although there was no name displayed, she knew who was calling at a glance.
