Nangong Feifei entered with an indifferent expression, briefly glanced at Nangong Mingchuan and Tang Yuyan, and quietly greeted them.
"You’re here," Nangong Mingchuan remarked, his tone neither light nor heavy.
Nangong Feifei didn’t speak but casually took a seat on the sofa.
Nangong He was relieved by her arrival; at least she was obedient enough to come to the hospital to visit Xixi.
Afterward, another figure walked into the doorway of the ward.
The moment he saw Gu Qiangwei, Nangong Xi immediately beamed with joy, "Sister Qiangwei!"
Seeing the stark difference in her treatment, Nangong Feifei took it all in, her eyes flashing with jealousy as she glanced at the entering Gu Qiangwei, as if wanting to chop her to pieces!
Gu Qiangwei smiled upon seeing Nangong Xi awake, and approached the bedside, "You’re awake?"
Nangong Xi nodded, "Hmm!"
At this moment, Tang Yuyan also looked up, smiling at Gu Qiangwei, "Xixi insisted on seeing you, and I had no choice but to call you."
She knew that after the explosion at J Building, many people were still traumatized, and if not for her son’s insistence on seeing Qiangwei, she would not have wanted to call her to the hospital at such a time.
Gu Qiangwei smiled, "No worries, I also told you to call me when Xixi wakes up."
Tang Yuyan smiled tenderly and turned back to continue feeding her son dinner.
Then, a sarcastic voice came from the sofa, "Call you? Are you a part of the Nangong family? You talk as if Xixi is your brother. Or is it that you’re naturally inclined to snatch things from others? Whether it’s ’men’ or ’family members,’ do you love to compete with me for everything?"
As her words came out, the entire ward fell into silence.
The first to speak was Nangong Xi, "Nangong Feifei, what are you talking about!? Where has Sister Qiangwei stolen anything from you? Qin Sijue has always liked Sister Qiangwei, how could he be your man!? And what do you mean by ’family members’? I have never said you and I are family!"
He spoke the last sentence in a lower voice, knowing that his parents and grandfather did not like him repelling Nangong Feifei this way.
But in his heart, he truly never felt that he and Nangong Feifei were family, because from the beginning to the end, she had never treated him like a brother!
Even though he had spoken the last sentence softly, everyone heard it, especially Nangong Feifei, whose face turned ugly!
"Xixi, you shouldn’t talk like that!"
Not wanting family relations to become too rigid, Tang Yuyan couldn’t help but scold her son softly.
Her indulgence made Nangong Xi not afraid of her at all, and he murmured again in a low voice, "It’s true, Qin Sijue likes Sister Qiangwei, not her!"
Nangong Feifei’s face became extremely ugly with rage, but she was helpless against Nangong Xi, who was doted on by everyone.
Nangong He, seeing her angry and embarrassed, knew she was in pain, but couldn’t bear to blame his grandson.
He could only soothe her softly, "Feifei, your brother is young, that’s just how he speaks, don’t take it to heart."
Nangong Feifei looked up at Nangong He, and although he was comforting her, he couldn’t bring himself to blame Nangong Xi even a little bit.
Her heart had grown cold. She took a deep breath, suppressing all her jealousy, but her dark eyes were filled with malevolence!
One day, she would make them all pay a painful price!
