Ling Yunshu had just grabbed Ji Xinxin when Ji Xinxin violently shook her off. Ling Yunshu hadn’t expected Ji Xinxin to break free so suddenly, and unprepared, she was pushed back several steps by Ji Xinxin’s force, and slammed heavily into a wall.
She grimaced in pain and let out a muffled groan.
Ji Xinxin didn’t even look at her and continued walking forward. Ling Yunshu, ignoring her pain, mustered her strength and followed her.
Ji Xinxin barged into Mrs. Shi’s hospital room, startling the attending maid. Just as the maid was about to ask who she was, she recognized her. "Miss Xinxin? What brings you here?"
Ji Xinxin scanned the room, didn’t see Shi Che, and only saw Mrs. Shi lying quietly on the bed. She frowned. Hadn’t Xiaxia said that bastard Shi Che was in the hospital? Where had he gone?
She walked up to the maid in a few quick steps, looked her in the eye, and demanded coldly, "Where is your young master?"
"What?" The maid was a bit slow to react.
"I said, where is that bastard Shi Che? Tell me now!"
The maid was so startled by the shouting that she reflexively replied, "The young master is in..."
But before the maid could finish, Ling Yunshu, having caught up from behind, cut her off before she could speak. Seeing Ling Yunshu, the maid was a bit stunned. She looked at Ji Xinxin, then back at Ling Yunshu, and naturally followed Ling Yunshu’s cue to keep quiet.
"Damn it!" Ji Xinxin cursed under her breath, glaring fiercely at Ling Yunshu. "You think I won’t find him just because you won’t tell me?"
After dropping that line, Ji Xinxin forcefully searched several places, even entering the men’s restroom, but unfortunately, she still couldn’t find Shi Che.
Ling Yunshu followed behind her, trying to stop her and getting pushed away several times, her limbs turning blue and purple from the knocks. She wanted to explode in anger but couldn’t, grinding her teeth in frustration.
Ji Xinxin wasn’t ready to let things go so easily, but since Chuxia was still locked in the car, she had no choice but to go back. She composed herself, gave Ling Yunshu a cold smile, "Tell Shi Che, I’m not going to let this go!"
With that, she strode toward the hospital entrance. Before leaving, she bumped her shoulder hard against Ling Yunshu, who couldn’t keep her balance and fell to the ground, in a total mess.
Ji Xinxin got back into the car, brimming with rage, while Ling Chuxia had sweated nervously. She grabbed Ji Xinxin’s shoulders, giving her a quick once-over. "Did... did you see Shi Che?"
"See him? No way!" Ji Xinxin snapped back, noticing Ling Chuxia’s relieved expression. Already fuming, this just added fuel to the fire. She pointed a finger and fiercely poked Ling Chuxia’s forehead. "You’re already divorced, how can you still be so spineless?"
You used to say it was for your elder sister, but what now? Moreover... today when she saw Ling Yunshu, there wasn’t a hint of concern for her sister. Shi Che had hurt her deeply, yet all she could think about was happily getting engaged to Shi Che, never once considering Ling Chuxia’s sacrifices. It was simply unworthy of a sister!
Ling Chuxia lowered her eyes and slowly began to speak, her voice calm yet heavy.
"Xinxin, I know you mean well, but really, please stop doing this. Not liking someone means not liking them. You fighting or cursing Shi Che isn’t going to make him like you. It’s really not necessary."
