Sheng Jianan didn’t say anything more, instructing Qiao Zi to drive back to Shengshi Group.
The news of Tang Yanqi’s injury never got back; Mrs. Zhang didn’t know, and naturally, Mr. Sheng didn’t know either.
Her roommates came to the hospital again at dusk, Bai Xue holding takeout boxes in her hands. As she opened them, the rich aroma of fish soup filled the room once more.
Compared to before, Tang Yanqi was already much better. Her head was still a little heavy, but she wasn’t as dizzy as before. Qi Cheng sat by the bed, talking to Tang Yanqi about some things happening at school, while Bai Bing and Bai Xue poured out the fish soup and slowly fed it to Tang Yanqi: "Tangtang, drink a little more."
The fish soup bought from outside certainly wasn’t as fresh and delicious as what Qiao Zi had brought before, but Tang Yanqi didn’t mind.
"Tangtang, didn’t you tell your parents about your injury?"
After feeding Tang Yanqi, Bai Xue suddenly asked. Tang Yanqi was momentarily stunned, but quickly regained her composure, shaking her head: "No, I don’t want them to worry."
Tang Yanqi always gave off the impression of being sensible, so when she said such things now, Bai Bing and Bai Xue didn’t find it out of place. On the contrary, Qi Cheng’s heart tightened as he looked at Tang Yanqi with a bit more compassion, knowing that Tang Yanqi definitely didn’t want to continue the topic, he quickly spoke: "By the way, Tangtang, did the doctor say when you can be discharged?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel·fire·net
"Tomorrow, I should be fine now. Staying here any longer is just a waste of money."
"Tomorrow? But aren’t you still dizzy? Isn’t it too soon to leave the hospital? Tangtang, you don’t have to worry about the money, we can all chip in a bit, it’s okay."
Hearing that Tang Yanqi would be discharged tomorrow, Bai Xue and Bai Bing looked worried. Tang Yanqi’s poverty was well-known, and they were concerned that she wouldn’t care about her health because of it, quickly speaking up to dissuade her.
Qi Cheng opened his mouth but swallowed his words, finally saying after a moment: "Xue Xue, you and Bing Bing should head back, Bing Bing is still injured too, I’ll stay with Tangtang a little longer."
Bai Bing had many scrapes on her body and face, though they were all superficial and she hadn’t lost consciousness. While she didn’t look as frightening as Tang Yanqi had, in reality, Bai Bing’s injuries were definitely more severe than Tang Yanqi’s.
Bai Xue nodded, agreeing that what Qi Cheng said made sense, Bai Bing needed rest too.
The four of them chatted a bit more, without mentioning last night’s events or Lu Qilin, remaining who they always were, without any barriers or unresolved emotions.
Watching Bai Bing and Bai Xue leave, Qi Cheng then reached out to hold Tang Yanqi’s hand: "Tangtang, did you really not tell your family? No matter what, that’s still your biological father."
Tang Yanqi curled her lips: "Apart from having half of his genes in me, we have nothing to do with each other."
Tang Yanqi wasn’t sure whether the Tang Family knew about her injury, but she would definitely never bring it up herself, never wanting to have much involvement with that family.
Qi Cheng looked at Tang Yanqi with distress, finally speaking angrily after a moment: "I really don’t know how there can be a father like that. He’s not even worthy; such a dad is better off without."
Qi Cheng was just venting out of sympathy for Tang Yanqi, but these words didn’t sound the same to Sheng Jianan, who was standing outside the door.
When he arrived, he happened to see Bai Bing and Bai Xue leaving, thinking the room was empty, not expecting there to still be someone inside.
In fact, it didn’t matter if he went in. Before, Sheng Jianan had taken care of those scoundrels for Tang Yanqi, giving the excuse that she was his student. But for some reason, Sheng Jianan still stood by the door out of impulse.
