After receiving her second elder sister's encouragement, Xia Sanghuan thought for a long time and finally decided to go find her third elder sister.
She walked out of the door and saw Fu Youqing lying on the window, lost in thought.
The sky outside had completely turned overcast, making the already unlit corridor even darker.
Normally free - spirited Fu Youqing seemed a bit lonely with her back view in this environment.
This scene made Xia Sanghuan feel even more guilty.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Fu Youqing turned around.
She thought it was her second elder sister calling her back, but instead she saw her youngest sister with her head down, looking a bit dejected.
She was stunned for a moment, then, looking worried, she grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of her.
"What's wrong, Huanhuan? Who bullied you?"
"Why do you look like this?"
The girl had already mentally prepared herself to receive her third elder sister's cold shoulder, but this scene left her stunned.
"Third elder sister, aren't you mad at me?"
"Mad at you for what?"
Fu Youqing was even more confused.
"I was afraid that after what happened just now, you wouldn't want to talk to me anymore," she said awkwardly. "After all, I'm the youngest girl in the family. Most of the time, it's big brother and second elder sister who give in to me.
"I don't have much experience being an elder sister. I'm just afraid of doing something that might upset you."
"Elder sister promises you that she won't issue a statement until you ask me to."
"So, don't be mad at me, okay?"
By the end, Fu Youqing pitifully took Xia Sanghuan's hand and shook it.
Although she was a famous Hollywood actress on the outside, she always seemed like an un - grown child in front of her family.
Her attitude of admitting her mistake made Xia Sanghuan, who was already embarrassed, not know what to say.
She nodded, indicating that she accepted the apology.
"Then are we reconciled?" Xia Sanghuan asked carefully.
"Of course."
"From now on, elder sister will always respect your wishes."
Just as the two were chatting happily, the medical staff wheeled various instruments into Fu Lingshi's room.
The full - body check - up began.
Fu Zeming and Fu Moning also stepped out of the ward to let the doctors conduct their examination.
"Huanhuan, is there anything wrong with big brother?" the second elder sister suddenly asked, looking worried.
Xia Sanghuan quickly replied.
"No problem."
"But I always feel like you're hiding something from us." The second elder sister turned around and gave her a forced smile.
The second elder sister's suspicion left her stunned.
Why would her elder sister ask like this?
But it was normal.
After all, her second elder sister was the president of a modeling company. Her ability to read people's expressions must be higher than ordinary people's.
Not to mention that she was someone close to her.
She would probably spot any abnormality at a glance.
So any explanation now would be in vain.
Seeing her fall silent, Fu Moning's heart sank.
Fu Zeming and Fu Youqing stood by, not knowing what to say.
In fact, not only Fu Moning, but even they and Fu Lingshi could sense it.
Huanhuan always liked to hide things from them. And it was out of good intentions.
The silence was finally broken when the doctors walked out of the ward.
"Doctor, how's my son?" Fu Zeming stepped forward quickly.
"Just like the previous check - up, there's nothing serious."
"But for the specific situation, we still have to wait for the check - up report later."
The doctor left after saying that, still muttering in his heart. He wondered why they were doing another check - up when they had just done one yesterday.
The time waiting for the results was long and torturous. They gathered around Fu Lingshi's hospital bed and began to review what had happened in the past few days.
"I went to the suburbs to handle some things that day," Fu Lingshi didn't go into details about what it was and just continued.
"It was too dark then. I didn't notice that I was being followed. So this accident happened. And we got involved in the follow - up of this incident."
"Although the police stepped in and caught the criminal at that time, the real mastermind behind the scenes still hasn't been found out."
"The only thing to be thankful for is that Chuan Jin managed to suppress all the news before it spread.
"Otherwise, if just the internal members of each family found out that you were injured, our Fu family would also be targeted."
Fu Zeming sighed as he spoke.
"Big brother, did the murderer stab you again after confirming that you weren't dead?" Xia Sanghuan asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time.
"Yes." Fu Lingshi nodded.
"Actually, after the two cars collided, I wasn't seriously injured and could still move with difficulty.
"However, the other person got out of the car and came straight for me.
"During our fight, he stabbed me a few times.
"But his technique wasn't professional. He hardly hit any vital parts.
"Then I fainted, and when I woke up, I was already in the hospital."
"Big brother, it was Huanhuan and Chuan Jin who saved you at that time," Fu Youqing added.
"The chief surgeon told us that if it weren't for Huanhuan's professional techniques, you might have died from excessive blood loss."
"Thank you, Huanhuan.
"This is all thanks to you."
The doctor had told him this when he first woke up.
So, of course, he knew.
Looking at the grateful smile on big brother's face, Xia Sanghuan felt a twinge of sourness in her heart.
If it weren't for big brother investigating those things for her, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
"Since my matter is almost over, it's time to talk about Huanhuan's matter," Fu Lingshi said.
Obviously, he cared more about his youngest sister than himself.
"So, Huanhuan, did you really kill someone?" His expression suddenly turned serious.
"Of course not," Fu Youqing retorted.
"Big brother, how could you suspect Huanhuan?"
"Youqing, I want to hear Huanhuan's answer."
Seeing his serious face, Fu Youqing had no choice but to shut up.
"No," Xia Sanghuan said in a deep voice.
"I've never had anything to do with this matter."
She took a deep breath and, under their inquiring gazes, began to tell what had happened from yesterday to today.
"I originally wanted to come and see big brother during my lunch break yesterday," she said, looking up at big brother as she spoke.
Fu Lingshi felt a pang in his heart when he saw her slightly aggrieved look.
"Then, I was stopped by a stranger."
She told the whole process of the incident, all the way to the treatment she received in the police station.
She remained calm throughout, and even her voice was steady.
But her father, brother, and sisters listened with their hearts in pain.
It turned out that in the places they couldn't see, their precious Huanhuan had suffered so much.
