When Yun Chutong turned around, Wen Sining finally saw what she had been doing while squatting in the corner with her back to them.
She was biting her nails.
The beautiful and well - shaped nails she had done before were now all pitted. In some places, blood was even oozing out, but she continued to bite as if she had no sense of pain.
Her hands, clothes, and face were all stained with the blood that had flowed from the tips of her fingers. Coupled with her strange, wolf - like eyes, she looked extremely evil.
Wen Sining stood behind Lu Luochen, constantly sizing up Yun Chutong, trying to find some flaws in her facial expressions and actions.
At this moment, Yun Chutong, who was still biting her nails, suddenly let out a silly laugh. She crawled on all fours towards Lu Luochen, with a very strange smile on her face as she crawled.
"Luochen, Luochen, Luochen, you've come to see me! You've finally come to see me! I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you so much! Why didn't you come to see me? Do you not love me anymore, Luochen..."
Before her voice faded, with a "clang" sound, Yun Chutong's body froze less than half a meter away from Lu Luochen. Only then did Wen Sining notice that there was a thin iron chain tied to Yun Chutong's ankle, limiting her range of movement to within two meters.
Seeing this, the doctor beside them quickly explained, "Well, the patient suffers from severe delusions and mania. When the illness flares up, she not only harms herself but also others. More importantly, when the patient is in an episode, her physical potential is greatly stimulated. When the patient was first admitted to the hospital, she had an episode and injured two nurses, a caregiver, and a doctor. She almost ran out of the hospital. That's why we had to tie an iron chain to her ankle."
After hearing the doctor's explanation, no one present showed any particular reaction.
In fact, they didn't care about the iron chain on Yun Chutong's ankle at all.
Liu Chun had seen such things countless times due to her job. As for Lu Luochen and Wen Sining, they only cared about whether Yun Chutong was really ill or faking it. They didn't care about anything else.
Yun Chutong seemed to be enraged by the iron chain on her ankle. She let out a near - beastly roar from her throat and kept hitting and tugging at the iron chain with her hands while roaring.
"Ahhhhh! Let me go! Let me go! You devil, let me go quickly!" Yun Chutong shrieked. The iron chain jingled as she tugged at it.
After tugging for a long time without breaking the iron chain, Yun Chutong got so angry that she simply lay on the ground and bit it with her teeth. Soon, her mouth was bleeding from rubbing against the iron chain, but she seemed to have no sense of pain. Instead of stopping, her actions became more and more intense.
Yun Chutong gasped for breath. Her target had shifted from the iron chain at first to everything around her. She tore the quilt and pillow on the bed into strips, and the cotton inside flew everywhere.
Seeing that Yun Chutong was about to smash her head against the wall, several doctors immediately rushed over, forcibly held her down, and injected her with a sedative. Only then did she gradually calm down. Lying on the messy bed, she stared blankly at the ceiling.
As soon as Yun Chutong started to go crazy, Lu Luochen had put his arm around Wen Sining and left the ward. They watched her go crazy silently through the door.
Wen Sining's eyebrows had been tightly furrowed all the time. She looked at the crazy woman in the ward with a complicated look in her eyes.
After a long time, she suddenly let out a soft laugh. Standing at the door, she said to the person who had calmed down inside, "Yun Chutong, whether you're really crazy or faking it, I want to tell you that no matter what, I won't let you go! If you think you can escape legal sanctions like this, I can clearly tell you that it's just wishful thinking!"
Wen Sining was silent for two seconds, then sneered, "Humph, Yun Chutong, I hope you're really crazy. Otherwise, I will definitely make you really crazy!"
Hearing these words, Yun Chutong, who had completely calmed down on the bed, stiffly turned her head and stared directly at Wen Sining. It wasn't until the medicine took full effect that she slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
...
On the way back to the Lu family mansion, a faint, depressing atmosphere filled the entire car. Qiao Xi originally wanted to say something to break the strange atmosphere, but after taking a look at the expressions of the two people in the back seat, she finally silently closed her mouth and silently drove them to the Lu family mansion.
"Qiao Xi, thank you so much for this afternoon. Come in and sit for a while." Wen Sining said with a faint smile on her face.
Qiao Xi waved her hands and shook her head repeatedly, "No, no. I just remembered that I have something to deal with, so I won't go in. By the way, Sining, my coffee shop is expected to open in three days. You must come to support me then."
"Three days later? That soon? Have you finished all the preliminary preparations?" Wen Sining was really a bit shocked by her speed.
"Yeah, I asked a friend for help. I'm almost ready now. I'm just waiting for the formalities to be approved in the next two days." As Qiao Xi spoke, a blush gradually appeared on her cheeks, but Wen Sining was preoccupied and didn't notice. She just showed a sincere smile and nodded, saying,
"Okay, I'll definitely come then."
...
After watching Qiao Xi's car disappear from sight, Wen Sining turned around and walked into the main gate of the Lu family mansion.
While she was talking to Qiao Xi, Lu Luochen had been standing about three meters away, waiting silently. Then he walked into the Lu family mansion side by side with Wen Sining.
Because of Yun Chutong's matter, they were delayed, and by the time they got back to the Lu family mansion, it was already past the meal time. But when they walked into the dining room, they found that the old Mr. Lu and the old Mr. Xiao were sitting at the dinner table waiting for them. As soon as they saw them, they warmly greeted them,
"Hey, Ningning's back. Haven't had dinner yet? Come and sit quickly. All these dishes were specially made for you by Grandpa. They're good for your health and will help your wounds heal."
The old Mr. Lu was smiling so widely that his eyes were almost invisible. He patted the seat beside him with his thin hand.
The old Mr. Xiao also raised his hand and patted the seat beside him, saying, "Ningning, don't mind that old Lu. Come and sit beside Grandpa Xiao. Let me tell you, I've been simmering this soup on a low fire since morning until now. It tastes really good. Come and have a taste quickly."
As the old Mr. Xiao spoke, he pushed the small casserole beside him to the side, also smiling kindly.
Feeling their sincere concern, Wen Sining felt a warm current flowing through her heart. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Luochen, who was standing beside her, put his arm around her shoulder and sat directly across from the two old gentlemen.
