Chapter 295: Will She Like This Version of You?
Ning Ze and the others stood rigidly in place.How could they dare to disrespect Brother Jiang, but they couldn’t just ignore Lan Xi’s life and death either.
Yet looking at Brother Jiang’s demeanor, Lan Xi was in for a world of pain today, if not worse.
There wasn’t a trace of warmth in Jiang Jingheng’s eyes as he suddenly threw Lan Xi to the ground.
Lan Xi’s head hit the ground, causing her to feel dizzy and faint.
Clutching her neck, she struggled desperately to breathe.
Suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she caught a shadow, and when she turned her head to look, her face turned deathly pale with fear.
Dong Le suddenly rushed over and hugged Jiang Jingheng, "Brother Jiang, I beg you, if you’re angry, take it out on me instead, spare Lan Xi."
"Brother Jiang, I’m also willing to take Lan Xi’s punishment. She’s a girl, please spare her," Ning Ze added.
Jiang Jingheng’s face remained cold as he kicked Dong Le away.
The kick landed squarely, and Dong Le was in such pain he couldn’t even straighten up on the ground.
Ning Ze remained blocking Jiang Jingheng’s path, sweat pouring down his forehead.
No one knew Brother Jiang’s ruthlessness better than them, a beating today was inevitable.
He quickly said, "Brother Jiang, sister-in-law will be fine, I’ll make sure Lan Xi properly apologizes to her!"
Jiang Jingheng kicked Ning Ze in the back of the knee, causing him to stumble to the ground.
He raised his foot, aiming for Lan Xi’s head!
"Jing Heng, think about Mu Yan. If she knew what happened, do you think she’d be happy?" Xu Yachong’s voice came through.
Jiang Jingheng froze in motion, a dark surge flashing through his cold eyes.
His hands clenched tightly as the violent urge in his heart surged to the utmost.
"She won’t know!"
"There’s no such thing as a wall without leaks!" Xu Yachong stepped in front of Jiang Jingheng, speaking in a low voice, "Would she like this side of you?"
At the mention of Mu Yan, the hostility in Jiang Jingheng’s eyes began to dissipate.
He closed his eyes, suppressing the violent emotions within him.
Seeing this, Xu Yachong felt a sense of relief.
To outsiders, the seemingly cold and ruthless Young Master Jiang had his vulnerabilities.
He feared losing the woman he loved, feared that she might not like him or might even hate him.
He continued, "Go back to the ward first, when Mu Yan wakes up, let Lan Xi apologize to her. Whatever she decides to do with Lan Xi then is up to her."
Jiang Jingheng suddenly opened his eyes to look at him, a warning glint in his cold gaze, "Don’t say things you shouldn’t."
Xu Yachong replied solemnly, "I know."
In fact, he had slightly threatened him just now.
If it weren’t for Mu Yan’s involvement, he might have already fallen out with him.
Jiang Jingheng turned his head to glance at Lan Xi on the ground, his eyes devoid of any warmth, "Follow my rules."
He turned and headed toward the ward.
Lu Hao, Ning Ze, and the others’ expressions shifted slightly. Brother Jiang still wasn’t willing to let Lan Xi off easily.
However, this was already the best outcome.
A bit of suffering was better than losing half a life.
Dong Le helped Lan Xi up, gently asking, "Are you okay?"
Lan Xi was greatly shaken, crying uncontrollably.
Lu Hao limped over to her, sighing as he said, "Now you’re scared? Why didn’t you think things through when you acted back then?"
Already afraid, Lan Xi was scolded by Lu Hao, making her cry even harder, "You said she knew there was a shrimp taste, why did she drink it anyway? Wasn’t it deliberately to harm me?"
She knew deep down that thinking this way was wrong, but having suffered such grievances, she needed to vent.
She didn’t dare complain about Jiang Jingheng, so she blamed Mu Yan instead.
"What nonsense are you spouting without learning a lesson!" Lu Hao reprimanded.
Xu Yachong frowned slightly, "Perhaps Mu Yan doesn’t even know what shrimp tastes like."
Everyone exchanged looks, realizing that might indeed be the case.
After all, with such a severe shrimp allergy, she wouldn’t be eating shrimp when she’s well.
Finally, the storm passed, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
All they could hope for was for Mu Yan to wake up soon, otherwise, Lan Xi’s suffering was far from over!
