Rao Jie’s expression changed, and Rao Gang sighed helplessly, having anticipated this outcome. Rao Jie felt a surge of frustration, and her body temperature seemed to rise, making her head spin.
“Mom, I’ve told you, it’s impossible. If you bring him here, I’ll immediately check myself out and run far away,” she declared.
“You!” Huang Xiang didn’t expect that Rao Jie would still hold firm at this point. Initially, she thought the main reason for Rao Jie’s opposition was her boyfriend, but after learning they had broken up, she assumed Rao Jie wouldn’t resist Young Master Hu anymore.
“Say that again!”
Rao Jie glared at Huang Xiang and said, “Even if you beat me to death, I won’t be with him. I’m your daughter! I just escaped from a life-threatening situation, and you want to treat me like an object to sell?”
As she spoke, Rao Jie became so agitated that she sat up, her face flushed red.
Huang Xiang was furious at Rao Jie’s stubbornness. “How many times do I have to say it? Parents do this for your own good! Why can’t you understand? Speaking so harshly, I really regret giving birth to you! Is this how you talk to your mother? Living with your grandmother for too long has spoiled you; you’re so willful! If you keep this up, you can forget about coming home for the rest of your life!”
“That’s enough! When will it end? Can’t you see what state your daughter is in? You keep thinking about all these irrelevant things. Your daughter doesn’t like Xiao Hu; do you think you can force her to marry him?” Rao Gang couldn’t hold back any longer, alternating between addressing his daughter and his wife.
Rao Jie was truly hurt by Huang Xiang’s behavior. “Fine, Mom. Since you’re saying this today, let me be clear: unless you stop using me as a bargaining chip for my brother, I will never come back.”
“You! You’ve grown up and think you can defy me now? You’re a piece of flesh that fell from my body. If I gave birth to you, I can control you! You will do as I say!”
Huang Xiang was provoked by Rao Jie’s resistance and instinctively reached out to hit her but was stopped by Rao Gang.
At that moment, someone at the door couldn’t hold back any longer and rushed in. Rao Gang and Huang Xiang were stunned to see them return.
Rao Gang’s expression darkened while Huang Xiang felt a mix of anger and embarrassment; perhaps she subconsciously knew her actions were disgraceful and didn’t want anyone to hear them.
Wu Rong strode past them with unwavering focus. His strong presence made both Rao Gang and Huang Xiang instinctively step aside. He walked straight to Rao Jie’s side, sitting on the edge of her bed and reaching out to touch her forehead.
Rao Jie felt a bit dizzy; even her breath felt hot. However, seeing Wu Rong’s focused gaze instantly calmed her heart.
Her eyelids grew heavy.
Wu Rong suddenly spoke softly, “Sleep now; don’t worry. I’m here.”
Despite the chaotic situation and noisy environment, when Wu Rong’s gentle hand rested on her heavy eyelids, it felt as if all her pressure had vanished in an instant, granting her relief.
Her body was too uncomfortable.
After speaking so passionately just moments ago, everything around her faded into darkness.
Finally, she could rest peacefully now!
Rao Jie indeed closed her eyes as Wu Xin and Wei Qian quickly helped her lie down.
"The temperature seems to have risen again; we should call the doctor to take a look!" Wei Qian said with concern.
That was the last thing Rao Jie heard before slipping into darkness.
