From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of life

Luo Peng has a fiery and strong personality and never backs down when faced with a challenge.

Seeing this, my cousin quickly intervened, saying, "Alright, stop talking about fighting all the time. We're just ordinary people. We should just live our lives honestly and not cause any more trouble."

Although Luo Peng was unconvinced, he did not refute his cousin's words, but just kept a sullen face and suppressed his anger.

My cousin then looked at me and casually asked, "By the way, did you call the police last night? This absolutely cannot be left like this!"

I nodded slightly: "Su Qing called the police. She said those thugs have all been arrested and can't escape."

"That's too easy on them. I was thinking of getting a few brothers to go over there and have a go at them," Luo Peng muttered indignantly.

My cousin paused, then looked at me and asked, "Are you alone in the hospital room now? Where's Su Qing? Didn't she stay with you?"

"I'm going back."

My cousin nodded: "That's true. That girl stayed up all night watching over you. She should go back and get some rest."

After a pause, the cousin said to Luo Peng, "Luo Peng, you go back first. I'll stay here."

I quickly spoke up to stop him: "Brother, you don't need to stay here. I'm really fine. I can get out of bed and walk around now. You don't need to watch over me."

"You still need to eat, right? How can you eat like this?"

Just as I was about to continue trying to persuade them, the door to the ward was pushed open again.

She had changed out of her blood-stained clothes from last night and was now dressed in clean and tidy casual wear. Her long hair was neatly combed, and she was carrying several packed lunch boxes.

Her cousin turned to look at her and said, "Yezi just said you went back to rest, why are you back again?"

Su Qing smiled faintly and stepped into the ward.

She placed the lunchbox on the bedside table and said in a relaxed tone, "I bought some light food. I didn't expect you guys to be here too."

Seeing her busy, her cousin quickly said, "You worked so hard last night, watching over Yezi the whole time. Thank you, young lady."

Su Qing waved her hand dismissively and joked, "No need to thank me. You guys should go eat too. I only bought some for Lin Ye, there's none for you."

My cousin gave an embarrassed smile and said, "We don't need you to worry about us. You've been up all night, you must be exhausted. You should go back and rest. I'll stay here and watch over him tonight."

Su Qing waved her hand dismissively, "It's okay, I'm free anyway. I'll head back later, you guys go eat."

I quickly told my cousin, "Go ahead, don't worry about me, I'm really fine, it's nothing."

My cousin nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then left with Luo Peng.

I glanced at the takeout boxes on the cabinet, then turned to Su Qing and asked:

"Why are you here again?"

"Don't overthink it, I don't care about you! I'm just bored."

I didn't argue with her. Looking at the several takeout boxes, I sincerely said to her:

Thanks! Seriously.

Su Qing didn't respond to me. She pouted arrogantly, reached out and put down the foldable dining table by the hospital bed, opened several meal boxes, and neatly placed them in front of me.

"Eat up, it's from downstairs at the hospital, it's all pretty light."

"Have you eaten?" I asked her.

"I've already eaten," she said, and then sat down in the chair.

I picked up my chopsticks, lowered my head to eat, and silently weighed my options.

I must tell Su Qing about Fang Heng's threatening visit earlier.

This matter involves her and will cause us further trouble, so I can't keep it from her.

I paused for a few seconds, put down my chopsticks, and spoke earnestly:

"Su Qing, Fang Heng came to the hospital earlier."

Upon hearing my words, Su Qing, who had been relaxed, suddenly frowned and looked completely astonished.

"What did you say? Fang Heng was here? How did he know you were at this hospital?"

Looking at her tense expression, I gave a helpless, bitter smile: "He can find out everything about my private matters, like buying a car. This news about me being hospitalized is nothing to him. It seems he's been watching me closely, deliberately paying attention to my every move."

Su Qing's face instantly filled with disgust and indignation, her tone utterly speechless: "This person is disgusting! What does he want by going on and on? He even came all the way here to find you, what did he say?"

"He's going to give me money, a million!"

"ah?!"

Su Qing's pupils contracted sharply, she froze instantly, staring at me with wide eyes, her face full of disbelief:

"How could he be so kind? He made demands, didn't he?"

I nodded and smiled, "The condition is simple: let me stay completely away from you and never have any contact with you again."

I thought that upon hearing this, a normal person would get nervous, worried that I would actually agree to the money.

But Su Qing's thought process is always different from that of ordinary people.

She paused for two seconds, but instead of panicking, she looked at me seriously and said:

"Then say yes! It's a million dollars, free money, why not take it?"

I was completely stunned by her. I stared at her blankly and asked, "Are you serious? You want me to take your money and then cut off all contact with you?"

"yes."

Su Qing shrugged nonchalantly, a hint of slyness even in her eyes.

"You promised him to stay away from me, not that I promised him I wouldn't talk to you. You took the money, but I can still actively pester you. There's no conflict. Besides, this way, I'm just making a million dollars off him for free."

I'm completely impressed by this girl.

Others would be anxious and uncertain if they encountered this situation.

She was the only one who immediately thought of getting something for nothing and ripping off Fang Heng.

This unique way of thinking is something that most people don't possess.

Before I could even reply, Su Qing suddenly frowned, muttering defiantly:

"That's not right! Why only one million? Is that all he's worth in his eyes? He's seriously underestimating me!"

Seeing her earnest yet arrogant expression, I couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It's not that you're worthless, it's that I'm not worth that price. He thought a million would be enough to get rid of me. I deliberately asked him for a hundred million, and his face turned green with anger."

Su Qing burst out laughing instantly: "If he really dared to pull out a hundred million to force you to leave, I might actually think more highly of him. A mere million? He dares to embarrass himself like that."

I stopped joking and said seriously, "Alright, enough joking. I don't think he's going to give up. I'm even starting to suspect that he might actually like you, given how he's targeted me time and time again."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing instantly scoffed with disdain, "You don't understand him at all. He doesn't like me; he's just obsessive and possessive!"

"His biggest flaw in life is that he never gives up until he gets what he wants. The more unattainable something is, the more obsessive and insane he becomes. He's utterly disgusting!"

I nodded slowly: "Then I understand. He'll definitely escalate his attacks on me. I can't keep taking the hits and waiting for him to make a move; I have to take the initiative and cause him trouble."

"I support you! Let's give him a good beating!"
