Upon seeing them, Wu Xin bluntly remarked, "Why are you back again?"
He Dong chuckled and replied, "We just wanted to help you out, since we were worried you might be overworked."
"No need for help. We are good sisters and don’t need outsiders meddling. Coming three times a day is a bit too much, don’t you think?" Wu Xin retorted.
Long Yong maintained his composure and smiled, saying, "I don’t intend to come this often. I just want to take care of Rao Jie here, as long as you don’t kick me out."
Wu Xin felt a bit guilty and glanced at Rao Jie, saying, "You two don’t have any relationship, and besides, you’re a man—it’s not appropriate!"
Long Yong chuckled but didn’t press the matter further. Instead, he approached Rao Jie’s bedside and asked, "How are you feeling? Is there anywhere that still hurts? Do you want something to eat? I can go get it for you."
Wu Xin listened with gritted teeth. Why is it that when men pursue women, they are so considerate? Her brother… couldn’t even confess properly… Sigh… It’s all tears thinking about it, especially after she traveled so far to support him.
While Wu Xin discreetly guarded against the two getting too close, she secretly messaged Wu Rong.
【If you don’t come back soon, my sister-in-law will be taken away!】
【I’m downstairs!】
Satisfied with her message, Wu Xin put her phone away and continued to watch Long Yong fuss over Rao Jie with meticulous care.
Before long, Wu Rong arrived, but he was accompanied by Rao Jie’s parents.
Wu Rong hadn’t intended to bring them along, but Huang Xiang had insisted on coming together since it was on the way.
Considering they were Rao Jie’s parents, Wu Rong didn’t refuse and brought them along.
However, before Wu Rong could say anything, Huang Xiang rushed toward Rao Jie.
Huang Xiang looked furious; her face was contorted in anger as she stomped over to Rao Jie’s bedside. Before Rao Jie could react, Huang Xiang raised her hand as if to strike her.
Everyone was taken aback; it was hard to believe that a parent would lash out at their daughter during such a time!
Yet Huang Xiang did indeed strike out, appearing deeply enraged at Rao Jie.
Rao Jie gasped in shock and instinctively shrank back.
But even if she dodged with her head, Huang Xiang's hand would still land elsewhere.
Huang Xiang swung her arm down forcefully as if gathering momentum.
Just as her hand was about to hit Rao Jie’s cheek, it was caught by Wu Rong from behind.
Because Huang Xiang exerted too much force, she ended up staggering from the impact. The hearts of those present rose and then fell back into place; only Wu Rong managed to react to this sudden change, demonstrating his focus on Rao Jie.
Huang Xiang's face was a mix of anger and shock. She was reprimanding her daughter, so how dare anyone interfere? Looking up, she saw a man towering over her like a wall, blocking her way to Rao Jie. Even when she lifted her gaze, all she could see was Wu Rong's shoulder. Undeterred, she wanted to catch a glimpse of his face to scold him for meddling.
However, when Huang Xiang finally saw Wu Rong's face, a chill ran down her spine. The expression on his face suggested that he might stab her with a knife at any moment. It was then that Huang Xiang felt as if her wrist was about to be crushed.
Angry and frightened, she struggled to break free but found it impossible. Rao Jie noticed and quickly reached out to tug at Wu Rong's sleeve, saying, "Professor Wu..."
Rao Jie’s anxious voice snapped Wu Rong back to reality. He cast a cold glance at Huang Xiang before finally releasing his grip.
