Song Qinian did not respond to Guan Mingxu's words. She just looked at Shen Chi'an, unable to imagine that the person who was so gentle in Lin Qiutong's ward just now could be the same cold and merciless person standing before her.
Seeing Song Qinian's silence, Shen Chi'an's cold, secluded eyes fell on her fingers wrapped in white gauze.
"You still had plenty of strength when you pushed Qiūqiū just now, didn't you? Who are you trying to fool with this weak and innocent act?"
Her chest felt heavy and uncomfortable, and Song Qinian took a deep breath.
Lin Qiutong's sudden rush out was something she hadn't anticipated, nor had she expected Lin Qiutong to get hurt.
But for him to confront her without understanding the situation, wasn't that going too far?
The doctor had told her not to use her fingers, but she didn't want Shen Chi'an to misunderstand. Despite the pain, she extended her fingers and gestured, "Lin Lanxing messed up my brother's college entrance exam."
The stitched wound split open and was re-stitched. The slightest movement from Song Qinian sent pain shooting through her nerves, and cold sweat broke out all over her body.
"That's all because of you and your selfish mother! If Lin Lanxing hadn't notified your brother to save someone, your hands would have been ruined long ago! Not only are you ungrateful, but you dared to cause trouble at the hospital and even hurt Qiūqiū!"
Song Qinian's hands trembled, half from anger and half from pain. "If she truly wanted to save me, she could have just called the police. Do you know that Jiāshù missed an exam and might not be able to get into college!"
"So what?"
Song Qinian looked at the indifferent Shen Chi'an with disbelief, completely taken aback by his words.
"Your brother not getting into college is one thing. Qiūqiū just woke up and hasn't fully recovered, yet you injured her head. Do you want her to lie in bed for another three years? Song Qinian, you have such a wicked heart!"
At this moment, Song Qinian realized that the pain in her fingers, which reached her heart, was not even a fraction of the pain caused by Shen Chi'an's words.
In his eyes, Lin Qiutong's minor injury was more important than Jiāshù's college entrance exam!
What was she expecting?
Why did she endure the pain to gesture so much to him?
She had loved him for so many years. She thought that after Lin Qiutong woke up, he hadn't immediately filed for divorce because he still had some feelings for her.
She thought that he, who was so particular about cleanliness, was willing to kiss her, hold her, and even do more intimate things, meant that she was special in his heart.
Heh…
She was wrong!
Everything about her was incomparable to Lin Qiutong in his eyes.
It felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and she completely lost the desire to communicate with Shen Chi'an.
She shifted her gaze away from Shen Chi'an, placed her hands on the blanket, and turned to look out the window, refusing to interact with him further.
Seeing Song Qinian's attitude, Shen Chi'an's expression became even more gloomy and terrifying. "What? You're unhappy because I hit the nail on the head?"
Song Qinian trembled all over from the pain. She gritted her teeth, enduring it, feeling sad, disappointed, and wronged.
Her nose stung terribly, but she didn't want to cry in front of Shen Chi'an.
Sensing Song Qinian's disregard, Shen Chi'an's anger erupted like a volcano, his voice becoming icier. "Get up and go apologize to Qiūqiū with me!"
At this moment, Song Qinian couldn't even think about apologizing. She didn't want to see the Lin family, let alone Shen Chi'an.
So, she lay on the bed and closed her eyes.
Shen Chi'an never expected the usually obedient Song Qinian to dare to defy him so openly today.
It seemed he had been too lenient with her lately, making her so unruly and dismissive of his words!
"Song Qinian, I'm giving you one last chance! Get out of bed and go apologize to Qiūqiū!"
Song Qinian bit her lip tightly, refusing to move!
The next moment, Shen Chi'an grabbed her hand and dragged her off the bed.
Song Qinian, caught off guard, almost fell to the ground. Shen Chi'an held her up, his cold eyes staring at her without a trace of warmth. "If you're wrong, you're wrong. Whether you want to or not, you will apologize to Qiūqiū today!"
Shen Chi'an dragged Song Qinian out of the ward. He squeezed her freshly bandaged wound fiercely, causing Song Qinian's entire body to go numb with pain.
She looked at Shen Chi'an's retreating back, her chest aching as if it would shatter.
After Guan Mingxu was thrown out of the ward by Gao Kunlun, he tried to rush in several times but was stopped by Gao Kunlun.
He couldn't defeat Gao Kunlun and was afraid Shen Chi'an would harm Song Qinian. So, he immediately called Shen Keqin.
However, the people in the adjacent ward complained about their noise and threatened to report him. He had to go to the emergency exit to make the call.
When he returned after the call, no one was in the ward.
Gao Kunlun was also gone.
Guan Mingxu didn't know what had happened between Song Qinian and Shen Chi'an. Thinking of something, he bolted towards Lin Qiutong's ward.
Shen Chi'an dragged Song Qinian to Lin Qiutong's ward and roughly pushed her inside.
Lin Qiutong's forehead had already been bandaged. She looked very weak, and Lin Lanxing was peeling grapes for her.
Seeing Song Qinian and Shen Chi'an enter together, both of them froze for a moment.
Lin Qiutong looked at Song Qinian's pale face, her eyes flickered slightly, and she looked tenderly at Shen Chi'an. "Miss Song, Āyàn, what is this..."
Shen Chi'an looked coldly at Song Qinian. "Apologize!"
Song Qinian was very good at avoiding trouble. In the past, she would never have dared to anger Shen Chi'an.
But today, for some reason, she just didn't want to apologize!
She knew that provoking Shen Chi'an would bring her no good, but she just couldn't bring herself to bow to Lin Qiutong.
Lin Qiutong and Lin Lanxing then realized that Shen Chi'an had brought Song Qinian to apologize to them.
Lin Lanxing was full of smugness, while Lin Qiutong walked up to Shen Chi'an, linked her arm with his, and smiled magnanimously. "Āyàn, it's just a minor injury, it's nothing. Miss Song looks very unwell, why don't you let her rest."
The more magnanimous Lin Qiutong acted, the more narrow-minded Song Qinian appeared.
Lin Lanxing, having finally found an opportunity for revenge, would naturally not let it pass. She fanned the flames from the side, "Brother Chi'an, Miss Song doesn't look like she wants to apologize at all!"
She paused, then continued, "It's one thing for Miss Song to repay kindness with enmity, but she even attacked my sister. Fortunately, my sister is lucky to only have a concussion and some superficial wounds. Otherwise, we would be crying non-stop."
Shen Chi'an was surprised by Song Qinian's stubbornness today. He angrily grabbed Song Qinian's hands and said coldly, "You're mute, you have to apologize with sign language!"
Song Qinian fiercely shook off Shen Chi'an's hands. Shen Chi'an was enraged. "Song Qinian!"
He raised his hand towards Song Qinian. Song Qinian looked at him expressionlessly, refusing to gesture.
Hit me!
Even if he beat her to death today, she would not apologize to the Lin sisters!
