Before long, the doctor called a nurse to take Grandpa Lu to the ward, and the others naturally followed.
However, just then, they saw someone they least wanted to see at the moment at the stairway.
Yun Chutong had climbed several flights of stairs. Just as she was silently complaining in her heart about what a lousy hospital this was and how they didn't install more elevators, she saw Wen Sining and her group, as well as Grandpa Lu, whose head was wrapped in thick gauze and was surrounded by them.
Wen Sining frowned in disgust and averted her gaze, not wanting to look at Yun Chutong anymore. She silently prayed for the elevator to come quickly. If it didn't come soon, she really would not be able to resist rushing over and slapping Yun Chutong twice to ask what exactly was on her mind.
However, while Wen Sining didn't want to have too much contact with Yun Chutong, Yun Chutong thought otherwise. Hearing her cry out "Grandpa" with a sob, she rushed straight towards Grandpa Lu.
Wen Sining's pupils constricted, and she subconsciously blocked her.
"What do you think you're doing, Yun Chutong!" Wen Sining shouted.
Yun Chutong seemed to be startled and replied blankly, "I, I just want to see how Grandpa is."
Wen Sining sneered, "Yun Chutong, don't you know why Grandpa ended up like this? There's no need for you to act all innocent here. I'm warning you, it's best not to get anywhere near Grandpa, or else, don't blame me for being rude!"
Yun Chutong shook her head repeatedly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and her nose was red. She looked extremely pitiful.
Big, full tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls. Crying, she said, "I, I didn't do it on purpose. I don't know what happened. I just fell down the stairs. Wen Sining, just let me take a look. Let me see how badly Grandpa is hurt, okay?"
"Dream on."
"Wen Sining, I love Luochen. His family is also my family. How could I deliberately hurt Grandpa? I really didn't do it on purpose. If you don't believe me, you can ask Grandpa when he wakes up. I'm really worried about Grandpa's health right now. Just let me take a look. Wen Sining, are you afraid that one look from me will cause something to happen to Grandpa?"
As she said this, Yun Chutong insisted on moving forward, but Wen Sining blocked her firmly. With a cold face, she said, "If you take one more step forward, don't blame me for being rude!"
Yun Chutong didn't think that Wen Sining would do anything to her in public. She still rushed forward regardless.
She must see with her own eyes how badly this old bastard was hurt. She hoped she could even find a chance to kill him. That would save her a lot of trouble.
"Slap!" A resounding slap landed on Yun Chutong's face. The force was so great that her whole face was turned to one side.
She stared at Wen Sining in disbelief with wide eyes. She could no longer maintain her pitiful appearance. Her expression instantly turned ferocious, and she was about to rush up and grab Wen Sining's hair.
After all, Yun Chutong was an injured person. How could she be a match for Wen Sining, who was in a fit of anger? Wen Sining not only deftly dodged her attack but also slapped her two more times.
The crisp slaps echoed continuously in the corridor.
Yun Chutong was stunned by the slaps. Her ears were buzzing, as if there were countless little bees flying. She also tasted a hint of blood in her mouth.
"Yun Chutong, I'm warning you one last time. If you dare to get anywhere near Grandpa again, I won't let you off!"
Yun Chutong's face darkened. Just as she was about to say something, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure appearing at the stairway.
It was Lu Luochen.
He was holding a bag in his hand, which contained water.
Yun Chutong's expression immediately changed. Covering her face, she ran up to Lu Luochen pitifully and sobbed, "Luochen, my face hurts so much."
Lu Luochen's gaze swept across the clear handprint on Yun Chutong's face. Finally, his eyes met Wen Sining's.
Wen Sining stared at Lu Luochen quietly. Her bright eyes were filled with complex emotions at the moment.
Just then, the elevator they had been waiting for so long finally arrived.
Wen Sining took one last look at Lu Luochen, then pushed Grandpa Lu into the elevator without looking back. She didn't even give Lu Luochen a single glance until the elevator doors closed.
Yun Chutong, who was waiting for Lu Luochen to stand up for her, was so angry that she almost gritted her silver teeth to pieces when she saw Wen Sining leave. She looked at Lu Luochen resentfully, deliberately showing her swollen cheek with the clear five - finger print.
"Luochen, are you also blaming me? Wuwuwu, I really didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to see how badly Grandpa was hurt. Wen Sining guarded against me like a thief and wouldn't let me take a single look at Grandpa."
As she said this, she began to wipe away her tears.
"Grandpa is your grandpa. I love you, and I also love your family. Your grandpa is my grandpa. How could I hurt my own grandpa? Today's incident was really an accident. I just wanted to send Grandpa back to his room, but for some reason, when we reached the stairway, Grandpa suddenly told me to stop. Just as I stopped, I felt a push from in front... I couldn't stand steady, so I accidentally knocked Grandpa's wheelchair down... Luochen, believe me, I really didn't do it on purpose."
She tightly grasped the corner of Lu Luochen's clothes. Her eyes were already red from crying.
"It's all my fault. If I had stood more steadily, this wouldn't have happened. Luochen, if I had stood more steadily, I wouldn't have fallen."
Yun Chutong cried and blamed herself, but between the lines, she was saying that she was also a victim in this incident. Grandpa's fall was not what she wanted to see, nor was it caused by her. She even subtly implied that Grandpa Lu had deliberately caused them to fall down the stairs.
Yun Chutong got more and more excited as she spoke and didn't notice Lu Luochen's increasingly cold expression at all.
"Are you done?" Suddenly, Lu Luochen's cold voice came.
Yun Chutong was stunned. A sentence got stuck in her throat, and she looked at Lu Luochen in surprise.
In her impression, Lu Luochen had never spoken to her in such a tone before.
However, when she looked up, she found that Lu Luochen still had a calm expression, as if there was nothing unusual. Yun Chutong was confused. Suddenly, she realized that she thought Lu Luochen was angry because she had spoken ill of Grandpa Lu behind his back. So she quickly explained,
"Luochen, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean anything else. I love you, and I also love your family. Your family is my family. I will never do anything to hurt your family in my whole life. Luochen, please believe me, okay?"
As she said this, Yun Chutong stood on tiptoe and was about to kiss Lu Luochen, but he roughly pushed her away. At this moment, Yun Chutong clearly saw the expression on Lu Luochen's face.
Disgust.
Yun Chutong's eyes widened in disbelief.
How could she see disgust in Lu Luochen's eyes!
Lu Luochen loved her so much. How could he possibly be disgusted with her? She must have seen it wrong!
