Rong Qi’s lips twitched up ever so slightly. “You think I don’t know what’s taboo and what’s not? Enough with the talk. Let’s go.”
Rong Qi rose to her feet, removing the coat that had been draped over her shoulders.
Sheng Jian stood up as well, his thick brows furrowed in concern. “Go where? Look at yourself, you’re so weak. What will you do if you faint after donating blood?”
“Stop cursing me.” Rong Qi stated.
“Am I cursing you? I’m telling it like it is! Listen to me, Little Qi, don’t do anything foolish.” Sheng Jian grabbed her sleeve. “Even his own mother gave up on him. Why are you involving yourself in this mess? I swear, I’ll call your man right now and have him put an end to Rong Tianshi.”
‘If Ye Nanshen found out that Rong Qi was planning to save Rong Tianshi with her own blood, he would flip the entire hospital upside down.’ Sheng Jian thought.
“I said, don’t tell him. This is my decision,” Rong Qi deflated her lips, turning on her heel and making her way toward the operating room. Sheng Jian’s calls fell on deaf ears.
Fuming, Sheng Jian slapped his thigh, roaring at her retreating figure like an enraged lion. “Just you wait! I’m going to call Ye Nanshen right now! Drive him crazy! Worry him sick so he can’t work or sleep because of your benevolence!”
As Sheng Jian said that, he pretended to take out his phone to make a call, all the while stealing glances at Rong Qi. But she didn’t even look back, entirely unfazed by his threats. He was infuriated beyond words.
‘Not again! It’s happening again! Both Chu Jing and Rong Qi were recklessly sacrificing themselves for that damned mule, Rong Tianshi. What was so great about that jerk, to make them act like this, one after another?’ Sheng Jian thought.
Exasperated, Sheng Jian sat on the bench, scratching his head as his imposing demeanor instantly shattered. Lu Chengzhou, who also didn’t want Rong Qi to act rashly, had followed her into the operating room, though he knew his attempts to dissuade her would ultimately be in vain.
As time ticked away, the operation inside proceeded methodically, while those left in the corridor began to gossip.
Rong Feiyu stared at the sealed doors of the operating room, seething at the memory of Rong Qi’s “heroic” act. She hadn’t missed the momentary look of surprise and admiration that crossed Su Yifan’s face when Rong Qi agreed to donate blood.
Clenching her fists and biting her lip, Rong Feiyu felt her eyes moisten with tears. “Why didn’t she say something earlier? Why did she wait for us to say those hurtful things before stepping forward? Grandma, she’s making us look so bad. There are so many people here. If Dad finds out, he’ll be so disappointed in us.”
Mrs. Rong Sr., also surprised by Rong Qi’s agreement, had her sense of sentimentality shattered by Rong Feiyu’s words. She snorted, “She’s doing it on purpose. You think I don’t know what she’s thinking? She’s just trying to monopolize all the assets your father left behind!”
“What? She can’t be serious,” Rong Feiyu pretended to be shocked. “If she wants it, I can give it all to her. I don’t want anything. I just want our family to be safe and healthy.”
Su Yifan, sitting quietly beside them, didn’t utter a word, lost in his own thoughts.
Finally, Sheng Jian, sitting across from them, couldn’t hold back any longer. He snorted, “If you really want the family to be safe and healthy, why didn’t you donate your blood? You’re selfish, putting your own future first. Now that someone’s stepped up, you sit here badmouthing her? Ha, Rong Tianshi is really unlucky to have you all! Serves him right!”
Rong Feiyu’s face turned crimson, unable to raise her head in response. Summoning the courage to defend herself, she said, “If she’s not after the Rong family assets, why would she volunteer to save Dad, knowing full well that she’s no longer related to him?”
Rong Feiyu emphasized the words “no longer related”.
Sheng Jian didn’t bother to counter her argument, merely saying, “Do you really think the Rong family is so great that Rong Qi would still care? Think again.”
Rong Feiyu’s face paled, leaving her at a loss for words..
