After drinking, Sun Ling’s father didn’t find anyone at Sun Ling’s home, so he ran to the company instead.
Sun Ling, draped in her clothes, went out, only to see her father having a drunken meltdown with Shuangshi’s security guards... and it led the guards to pull out their cell phones to call the police.
"Sun Ling, you unfilial daughter, you come out... come out to me! Get out here!"
Not only did Sun Ling’s father yell, but he also smashed a liquor bottle against Peak’s door.
Shards of broken glass scattered everywhere, and a pungent smell of alcohol instantly spread outside the door.
Sun Ling didn’t go out, hugging herself tightly, because at that moment, she was very afraid of marriage, afraid of men; she even felt the scene outside the door was so oppressive that it made her nauseous enough to vomit.
Sun Ling didn’t know how long her father made a scene outside the door, until the police showed up and took him away. Then Sun Ling returned to her office, to the rest area.
People like Sun Ling’s father, do you expect them to have an epiphany?
After taking a shower, Sun Ling lay in bed, somewhat groggy, and after hearing the ring of the phone, she pressed the talk button and put it to her ear, hardly conscious...
Jing Yizhou felt as if he had overeaten, which is why after getting home, he made a call to Sun Ling.
But after the call, he took his other car keys and left the house.
Half an hour later, he arrived at Peak and saw the messy scene at the entrance.
Jing Yizhou asked the night-shift guards at Shuangshi about what had just happened and learned that Sun Ling’s father had caused a disturbance again.
After hearing the story, Jing Yizhou drove off again. A few minutes later, he returned with medicine, stood at the entrance of Peak, and called Sun Ling, "Can you get up and open the door now?"
As soon as Jing Yizhou heard her response, he knew she was confused. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Be good, listen to me. You’re sick now, you need to get up and take your medicine."
Jing Yizhou coaxed her all the way, and it was not easy to persuade her to open the main door. Upon seeing her, Jing Yizhou realized it wasn’t he who was sick, because he was drenched in sweat.
Once Jing Yizhou touched Sun Ling’s forehead, he picked her up, placed her into the car, then after explaining a few things to Shuangshi’s guards, he left.
Sun Ling was taken to the hospital just like that, not knowing if it was from the fright or perhaps because the water was too cold during the bath she just had taken.
By the time they reached the hospital and the doctors had performed a series of treatments, Sun Ling finally fell asleep.
But in her sleep, she was restless and even cried.
Sitting by the hospital bed, Jing Yizhou thought about what he had heard from the security guard earlier and knew why she had fallen ill.
This kind of fever was to some extent a stress response from fear.
Jing Yizhou initially thought that after Sun Ling had an injection and took her medicine, she would sleep through the night, but before dawn, she woke up.
Jing Yizhou, lying beside her hospital bed, also woke and propped himself up to ask her, "Feeling better?"
Sun Ling shook her head weakly, "I saw something dirty that I shouldn’t have seen last night. I’ll be better tomorrow."
"You can’t change your blood ties, but you can stick to your own life. You don’t need to be shackled by so-called kinship. Treat him like a stranger, or even as a scoundrel, a hooligan. Treat him accordingly, there’s no need for you to concern yourself with filial piety or affinity."
"He... has given me a very bad impression and cast a great shadow over me. He fills me with suspicion and distrust toward the opposite sex, makes me lose my yearning and desire for affection, and makes me feel suffocated by the idea of a partner." Sun Ling spoke to Jing Yizhou, on the verge of breaking down.
