The unattainable beauty was driven to depravity and madness by a wicked seed.

Chen Jingmo paused, then frowned, thinking that he shouldn't have pulled Chen Ziqiu out of the elevator, and he shouldn't have gone to buy medicine to save him.

Then I heard someone say, "The ring is actually quite nice."

Chen Jingmo breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not yours to look good. Transfer the money for the medicine to me. Oh no, I've already deleted you. So, here's the cash. Fifty. There's never been any family relationship between us, so no discount needed. The saline solution and gauze we used earlier can be counted as twenty. Deduct part of it, and give me thirty back."

"Is it necessary to calculate this precisely?"

"Why wouldn't it be necessary? I'm not that kind of person; I'm obsessed with money and can't be selfless."

"..."

His little mouth kept chattering, and Chen Ziqiu's words made his heart start to hurt again. For a moment, he wondered if he had fainted earlier because he was angry with Chen Ziqiu.

Chen Jingmo stuffed the remaining papers into his pocket and noticed that Chen Ziqiu's lips were trembling and pale, and his brows were tightly furrowed. "What's wrong with you now?"

"Take a break—"

"Stop standing there. To prevent your future assets from falling into my hands, go to the hospital right now."

"Let's go then."

"What do you mean, 'go away'? Go by yourself."

"..."

"I'm not capable of doing that. If you want me to go to the hospital with you, that will cost extra."

"...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you."

"What did you say?"

"I told you, you're no good."

"I'm really no good, I smoke, drink, fight, and have bad grades." Chen Jingmo got angry as he spoke, walked to the door and cursed, "Don't they even realize they bullied me first!"

Chen Ziqiu was taken aback.

"You were bullied first...?"

"Otherwise what? How damn free do you think I am to fight with them every day? Doesn't it hurt? You guys are the most loyal believers in rumors, believing whatever you hear. Seriously, I get so annoyed just talking to you now. From now on, we'll be strangers, no need to greet each other. For the sake of me saving you today, don't you dare complain to Chen Yunting again. He's like an idiot, cursing me without any reason. If you guys really drive me to jump off a building one day, please don't collect my body. Just let me rot on the ground, become fertilizer for the flowers. Don't cremate me, and don't put my ashes in the Chen family's house. I find it disgusting!"

"Chen Jingmo! Is that something you should be saying?! What are you talking about jumping off buildings? You can't even have such thoughts!"

Chen Jingmo's eyes were a little red, probably because he had been too excited while speaking. His face was full of sarcasm. "Don't worry, even if I jump off a building, I'll find a very far place and jump face down. I'll smash my face to pieces so that those media reporters won't know who I am. It definitely won't affect the Chen family's business."

Weird.

He would definitely jump with his back turned, he absolutely couldn't ruin that pretty face, and even if he became a ghost, he would haunt Chen Yunting, accusing him of all the disgusting things he had done over and over again.

As soon as Chen Jingmo got downstairs, he ran into the principal, who practically ran over. "Everyone else is in class, why did you run out... What happened to your arm?"

Chen Jingmo clicked his tongue, waved his hand dismissively, and said, "It's nothing, I just tripped and fell."

"Did you bandage it yourself?"

"no."

"Did you apply the medicine?"

"without."

"Let's go to the infirmary."

Chen Jingmo's alarm bells went off instantly, and he began shaking his head, "No, no, no, no, I'm not going."

The pain has finally subsided a bit, but if I peel off the ointment again, won't it hurt all over again?

During the tug-of-war, another bang came from behind.

Chen Ziqiu fell to the ground again.

hospital.

Chen Ziqiu was lying down.

Chen Jingmo was sitting.

The principal was standing.

"Since you're already at the hospital, have them treat you again."

"No money, no relationship."

"...It's the middle of summer now, and if you sweat, you're more likely to get an infection, which could lead to amputation."

"Then amputation is the best option."

If he can't control his tears when dealing with this later, and people laugh at him, he'd better go home and let Shi Qianqiu handle it. Then he can lie in Shi Qianqiu's arms and be comforted by him.

Just as they were at an impasse, Chen Yunting entered. He immediately went to the bedside to look at Chen Ziqiu, without even turning his head to Chen Jingmo, and asked, "What happened to your second uncle?"

The principal was holding Chen Jingmo's uninjured arm. He had been struggling, but now he had stopped. "That's what happens when you have a heart attack," the principal said.

"What kind of tone is that—"

Snapped!

Fang Chi slapped him on the back. "Speak properly. Didn't you see your son was injured too?"

Chen Jingmo stared at her for two seconds without saying a word.

The principal took two steps forward and explained what had happened.

When he arrived, he asked Chen Jingmo. At first, Chen Jingmo said that he had a fight with Chen Ziqiu, and the two of them were arguing so much that Chen Ziqiu had a heart attack. He didn't believe it, so he asked again. Later, Chen Jingmo got so annoyed that he finally told the truth.

Fang Chi was wearing a simple T-shirt and shorts, with no decorations on her neck or ears, just a silver bracelet on her wrist, and canvas shoes. If she had worn high heels, it would have been difficult to run around in the hospital, and her footsteps would have made a clattering sound.

"Xiao Chen, thanks to you today, otherwise your second uncle would not have survived."

Chen Jingmo nodded and said with emotion, "Finally, a reasonable person has come to our family."

Previously, it was the other party who had a problem with being too late.

Seeing that Chen Ziqiu lay down on the bed as if he had stopped breathing, Chen Yunting became anxious and turned his attention to Chen Jingmo, saying, "You must have said something to him!"

Chen Jingmo looked at the principal, then at Fang Chi.

He then chuckled softly.

It's like saying—

See, I didn't do anything, and I'm the bad guy again.

"Yeah, I said he can't control his mouth. He starts lashing out at me the moment we meet, like a lunatic."

"Chen Jingmo—"

Bang!

Fang Chi gritted his teeth and punched Chen Yunting's shoulder with his fist, "Little Chen has already sent his second uncle to the hospital, why are you slandering such a good kid?"

Chen Yunting was so stunned by the beating that his mind went blank.

As soon as they realized what was happening, the fire surged upwards.

But then Fang Chi gestured with his chin toward the principal and said, "This is just making us a laughingstock."

Chen Yunting finally caught his breath.

Principal: Having parents like this really makes me want to jump off a building.

"Xiao Chen, is your wound treated?" Fang Chi asked.

The principal began, "No medicine has been applied."

"You can't leave it without medicine. You've been through a lot coming from school, your arms must be sweaty. It's hot, you can't keep it covered with gauze, it'll easily get infected."

Chen Jingmo glanced down at his arm, which was wrapped in gauze, and glared angrily at Chen Ziqiu.

That old bastard Deng.

They're just harming me.

Fang Chi said, "Your gauze is soaked; it needs to be changed now. I'll go get the doctor, okay?"

"……Um."

Fang Chi had just reached the door when he bumped into Shi Qianqiu. Shi Qianqiu nodded to Fang Chi and quickly came in. When Chen Jingmo saw Shi Qianqiu, his expression immediately turned aggrieved, and he raised his arm for him to see.

Shi Qianqiu knelt down in front of Chen Jingmo, her brows furrowed with concern. "How did you fall?"

"His condition flared up, and I went to buy him medicine. I was running too fast and I missed a step."

The pronunciation was light and airy, yet it carried a tremolo.

Shi Qianqiu looked at Chen Jingmo's trembling arm and the dried blood on his body, and asked, "Are there any other injuries?"
