In order not to affect her recovery and make things difficult for Lu Jinshen, Tong Qiao did not intend to fight with Fu Zhilei. She took a few steps back and said, "Fu Zhilei, you're no match for me. If you come any closer, I won't hold back."
"You sure talk big. Come at me if you can. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Fu Zhilei knew that Tong Qiao was a little weak in martial arts, but she had been in the army for a few years. Although she was playful and did not learn much, she was confident that she could deal with a layman like Tong Qiao.
Tong Qiao retreated to the small square table next to the sofa. "I won't fight with you today because of your brother."
"I think you're afraid, aren't you?" Fu Zhilei said as she pounced on Tong Qiao. She dared to put pepper in her tea. She would never forgive her!
Tong Qiao did not move and allowed Fu Zhilei to pounce on her. Just as Fu Zhilei was about to reach her, she suddenly dodged to the side.
Bang!
Fu Zhilei did not expect Tong Qiao to suddenly dodge to the side. She did not stop in time and bumped into the small square table. She fell to the ground with the table, and screams immediately filled the living room.
Sheng Yufei hurriedly ran over. "Zhilei, are you okay?"
Fu Zhilei felt that her whole body was in so much pain that it was about to fall apart, especially her waist. She bumped into the corner of the table and was in so much pain that she almost cried. "Tong Qiao, I'm not done with you today!"
Sheng Yufei saw Lu Jinshen come out of the room and walk downstairs from the corner of her eye. She helped Fu Zhilei up and said, "Zhilei, don't be like this. She's your sister-in-law. She just gave birth and needs to rest."
Fu Zhilei held her waist and got up from the ground. "Sister Yufei, why are you speaking up for her? She stole your husband and destroyed your family. You should teach her a lesson with me. You're just too weak. That's why you're always bullied by her."
"Leilei, watch your words." A deep and cold voice came from the stairs.
Fu Zhilei looked up and saw Lu Jinshen coming down. She held her waist and walked over to him. She said with an aggrieved expression, "Brother, Tong Qiao bullied me."
"Call her sister-in-law." Lu Jinshen's eyes darkened.
"She's not my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is Sister Yufei." Fu Zhilei rolled her eyes at Tong Qiao.
"If you're here to quarrel, don't come here in the future."
"Brother." Fu Zhilei looked at Lu Jinshen in disbelief. In the next second, the tears that had accumulated in her eyes before flowed out. "Previously, you were so heartless as to send me abroad. Now, I've just returned to the country, and you're chasing me away. Are you really my brother? Do you know how hard I've been living abroad these past few months? I'm not familiar with this place, I don't have any relatives, and I don't speak the language … "
As she spoke, Fu Zhilei recalled those bitter days abroad and started to cry loudly.
A trace of heartache slowly appeared in Lu Jinshen's eyes. His voice softened. "Okay, stop crying. If you're obedient, can I send you abroad?"
"How am I not obedient?" Fu Zhilei's eyes were filled with tears. "Is it wrong to love someone? Just because I love Yanqing, you're treating me like this? In your heart, you've always been biased towards outsiders. You were like that in the past, and you're still like that now. I'm not your sister anymore. "
After saying that, Fu Zhilei pushed Tong Qiao aside and ran out crying.
Tong Qiao stumbled and almost fell. Lu Jinshen caught her in time.
"Jin Shen, I'm going to check on Leilei. Take good care of Tong Qiao," Sheng Yufei said to Lu Jinshen.
Lu Jinshen nodded slightly. "Sorry to trouble you."
"It's no trouble. Leilei is also my family." Sheng Yufei smiled virtuously and hurriedly chased after her.
Tong Qiao left Lu Jinshen's support and turned to walk towards the stairs.
"Qiao 'er, aren't you going to explain?" Lu Jinshen said to Tong Qiao's back.
Tong Qiao stopped in her tracks but didn't turn around. "What's there to explain? Didn't you see it all? I caused your sister to get hurt. "
Lu Jinshen looked at Tong Qiao's back and didn't say anything else. There was a trace of tiredness between his brows, and a touch of sadness flashed across his deep eyes.
…
A week later …
In the morning, Tong Qiao was in a daze when she heard some loud noises next door. She didn't pay much attention to it and turned over to continue sleeping. When she woke up, it was already half an hour later. After washing up and changing her clothes, she was about to go downstairs for breakfast. When she walked out of her room, she happened to see Dr. Li and Auntie Zhou coming out of Lu Jinshen's room.
Dr. Li was the Lu family's family doctor. Why would he come out of Lu Jinshen's room at this time?
Could Lu Jinshen be sick?
Auntie Zhou and Dr. Li were talking about something as they walked towards the stairs. Neither of them noticed her.
Tong Qiao walked to the door of Lu Jinshen's room. She looked at the door but didn't go in. Ever since Fu Zhilei ran out crying that day, she and Lu Jinshen hadn't spoken for a week.
In the past, whenever the two of them had a falling out, Lu Jinshen would always lower his head first. This time, he hadn't taken the initiative to talk to her. He must be really angry. But what was there to be angry about?
Fu Zhilei fell on her own. She wasn't the one who hit her. Furthermore, Fu Zhilei was the one who provoked her that day. She couldn't take it anymore and fought back, okay?
Tong Qiao was thinking about this angrily when she heard Auntie Zhou's voice behind her. "Qiao 'er, you're up?"
Tong Qiao turned around. "Auntie Zhou, is breakfast ready? I'm hungry."
"Jinshen is injured. I didn't have time to …"
"Lu Jinshen is injured?" Tong Qiao's heart instantly sank.
Auntie Zhou nodded.
Tong Qiao turned around and pushed the door open without hesitation.
Ji Ji was bent over the bed doing something. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he looked up and saw Tong Qiao. He quickly stood up. "Sister-in-law."
Tong Qiao hurried to the bed. Lu Jinshen was lying on the bed with his eyes slightly closed. His face was slightly pale. "How did he get injured?"
Ji Ji said, "He was stabbed by the other party when he was on a mission."
Was he stabbed with a knife?
Tong Qiao's heart clenched. "Then will he … be okay?"
"I don't know. The doctor said that Boss's injury is very serious. Maybe …"
"No, he will be fine." Tong Qiao shook her head and interrupted Ji Ji. She was afraid that he would say something she couldn't accept.
Ji Ji stood by the bed and touched his nose. "Sister-in-law, did you quarrel with Boss recently?"
"Huh?" Tong Qiao didn't know why Ji Ji suddenly asked this.
"Boss has never made any mistakes when he was on a mission. He got injured this time because he hasn't been in a good state recently. He didn't rest well and was too tired. This gave the other party an opportunity to attack. So I'm guessing that the two of you quarreled?"
Tong Qiao instantly fell silent.
Ji Ji pretended to sigh. "I still have something to do in the army. I'll leave Boss to you."
Tong Qiao nodded.
Ji Ji took a few steps and turned back. "Oh yes, Sister-in-law. Boss is the chief of the army. The news of his injury can't be leaked to prevent people from causing trouble. He can't go to the hospital either. He can only rest at home."
Tong Qiao's face turned even paler. "But if we don't go to the hospital, what if he doesn't wake up?"
