After Song Ge finished speaking, Wu Yilan was stunned for a moment. She covered her face with both hands, looking extremely exhausted.
"How could it be? How could Hou Chenyi not love me?" she murmured. She touched her belly and suddenly panicked, "Where's the baby? Where's my baby?"
"Yilan, please don't be like this. I'm scared," Song Ge cried as she pulled her best friend into her arms. "Open your eyes and look. I'm Song Ge! Your good friend!"
Wu Yilan closed her eyes and squeezed out two streams of tears. She hugged Song Ge tightly, "Song Ge, you're Song Ge." Wu Yilan asked blankly.
"Yes!" Song Ge wiped away her tears. "Yilan, I'm Song Ge!"
"Yes! You're Song Ge!" Wu Yilan repeated after Song Ge. Then she burst into loud sobs. "Song Ge, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. You were right. I should have listened to you earlier!" Wu Yilan pounded her chest hard with her right hand.
"Yilan, don't do this," Song Ge reached out to hold Wu Yilan's hands, preventing her from hurting herself. "It's not your fault. It's all in the past. Yilan, you'll surely be happy in the future."
"Really?" Wu Yilan shook her head. "I'm deeply sinful. Will I ever be happy?"
"What sin?" Song Ge forced a smile and brushed away the loose hair on Wu Yilan's forehead. "You're the kindest person."
Wu Yilan nodded blankly.
With Song Ge's consolation, Wu Yilan's emotions calmed down a bit. But her eyes were empty. She just lay in bed, staring blankly, and no one knew what she was thinking. Song Ge asked but got no answer. She seemed to have lost her soul.
Well, who wouldn't be devastated after going through such a thing? Song Ge shook her head and clenched her fists tightly. She wouldn't let this matter rest so easily. Every wrong has its culprit. This whole thing started because of Hou Chenyi. She must make him pay the price.
When Zhai Cheng went to the hospital, he happened to see Song Ge rushing out of Wu Yilan's ward in a fury. He felt curious and followed her.
"Song Ge, Song Ge," Zhai Cheng called out twice before Song Ge stopped.
"Where are you going? Aren't you going to take care of Yilan?" Zhai Cheng raised his eyebrows.
Song Ge let out a startled sound and looked flustered. "You're just in time. I have something to go out for. Could you help me take care of Yilan? I'll be back soon."
"No," Zhai Cheng quickly grabbed Song Ge's arm. "You're lying to me. You're going to find Hou Chenyi, aren't you?" Zhai Cheng squinted his eyes. He knew Song Ge's personality better than anyone else. It was impossible for Song Ge not to be anxious after what had happened to Wu Yilan.
"No," Song Ge shook her head and tried to shake off Zhai Cheng quickly.
"I really am not."
"I don't believe it. I'll go with you," Zhai Cheng suggested.
"No need. I can handle it by myself," Song Ge immediately refused.
"Song Ge," Zhai Cheng said helplessly, "Why do you have to go find Hou Chenyi? Can't we just let the past be the past?"
"Zhai Cheng," Song Ge looked into Zhai Cheng's eyes calmly. "Can we just act like it never happened? It's Yilan lying in there! I can't calm down." After saying that, Song Ge shook off Zhai Cheng's hand and quickly ran to the roadside to hail a taxi.
Zhai Cheng failed to catch up, so he had to drive after Song Ge in case something unexpected happened.
When Song Ge arrived at Hou Chenyi's company, it was empty. She didn't see Hou Chenyi anywhere.
Just then, Hou Chenyi called. He told Song Ge that he was on the top floor and asked her to come and find him.
Although Song Ge didn't understand what Hou Chenyi was up to, she still went up.
On the top floor, Hou Chenyi was indeed there. He was wearing a black suit with the collar half - open. His stubbly face and messy hair made him look disheveled.
"You're here," Hou Chenyi said with a smile as he opened his arms.
Song Ge's heart skipped a beat. Hou Chenyi was getting more and more crazy. He looked extremely dangerous.
"What do you want?" Song Ge asked.
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?" Seeing Song Ge standing still, Hou Chenyi had to retract his arms. "You come to find me but ask me what I want? Song Ge, I should be the one asking you this question." Hou Chenyi stepped forward on his own initiative.
Song Ge took a step back in fear. But then she remembered that she had come to seek justice for Wu Yilan. She couldn't be so cowardly. She should muster up the courage to intimidate Hou Chenyi.
"Yes, I'm here to find you. If you still have a conscience, you should know why I'm here," Song Ge gasped.
"I see," Hou Chenyi nodded as he stroked his chin. Suddenly, he let out a scoff. "But I really don't have a conscience. Song Ge, are you very angry now? Angry that you misjudged me back then."
He was really shameless to say such a thing. Song Ge let out a muffled snort. "Yes, but I'm angry at myself for regarding a scumbag like you as a good person."
I even introduced you to Yilan. If I had been more insistent back then and told Yilan that Hou Chenyi was an out - and - out bastard, would all that followed have never happened?
But there was no if. Yilan was still lying in the hospital bed, while this bastard was standing here unscathed, showing no sign of shame at all.
"Hahaha," Hou Chenyi suddenly burst into wild laughter after hearing Song Ge's words. "You're right. I'm really a bastard. But next, I'm going to do something even more bastardly." As he spoke, Hou Chenyi stepped forward.
"What do you want?" Song Ge shivered. She saw the killing intent in Hou Chenyi's eyes.
"I... I want to kill you," Hou Chenyi gritted his teeth. He grabbed Song Ge's wrists with both hands, then held Song Ge tightly in his arms with one hand and strangled her neck with the other. He dragged Song Ge back a few steps.
"Hou Chenyi, are you crazy! Let Song Ge go quickly!"
When Zhai Cheng arrived, this was the scene he saw. He swallowed nervously, hating himself for not arriving in time.
"Zhai Cheng, Zhai Cheng," By the time Song Ge realized what was happening, she had already been held hostage by Hou Chenyi. She was extremely scared and kept shouting Zhai Cheng's name.
"Now you're scared," Hou Chenyi sneered. His smile was extremely lewd. "Weren't you quite tough just now?" After saying that, he gently stroked Song Ge's face. "Yes, you're all right. I'm crazy." Hou Chenyi dragged Song Ge back to the edge. Below was an abyss. One wrong move and they would be smashed to pieces.
"It's all your fault."
"What do you want?" Zhai Cheng was also panicked. He quickly tried to persuade him. "Hou Chenyi, calm down."
"I'm very calm," Hou Chenyi tilted his head and smiled. "I'm so happy to see your expression, Zhai Cheng. Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?"
