Chapter 529 This is retribution!
Sheng Qianrui's wrist was still throbbing with a dull ache, as if countless needles were drilling into the bones.
And the back.
When the bodyguard threw her into the ward, her back slammed hard against the edge of the metal bunk bed, and the pain made her vision go black.
A series of excruciating pains shot through her wrist from where it was twisted backwards. The cracking sound from before still echoed in her ears, and she even suspected that her bones were broken.
But the footsteps in the corridor gradually faded away, until only the heavy sound of the bodyguard's leather shoes on the floor remained outside the door, like a bell hanging over her head, pounding on her tense nerves every second.
"Is anyone there? My hand is broken! Call a doctor!"
Sheng Qianrui struggled to stand up, holding onto the edge of the bed. She clutched her injured wrist tightly with her other hand, and cold sweat seeped through her fingers, soaking her sleeve.
She walked to the door and pounded on it forcefully, her voice shrill with pain and anger. "Help! Let me out! I work for Shengshi Group, you can't treat me like this!"
The only response she received was the dull thud of the door and the bodyguard's flat reply: "Miss Sheng, Mr. Xu instructed that no one is allowed to enter without his permission."
Sheng Qianrui's hand stopped on the door panel, her fingertips turning white from the force.
She could imagine the expressionless faces of the bodyguards outside; those men were Xu Fangye's confidants, so of course they wouldn't listen to her.
She recalled the footage she had seen in the monitoring room of Neptune International.
Xu Fangye stared at the scene on the screen where she entangled the bodyguards and led them away. His face was as cold as ice, and his eyes, which always carried a gentle smile, were now filled with bone-chilling coldness.
"I...it's true, someone really did assault me..."
She muttered to herself, a hint of barely perceptible panic in her voice.
She thought Song Yuchen just wanted to scare Fang Li, at most kidnap her and extort money from her, but she never expected things to escalate to this point.
She never expected that Xu Fangye would find her so quickly, without even giving her a chance to explain.
The pain in her wrist intensified, and she stumbled back to the bedside and sat down, clumsily trying to check the condition of her wrist. But as soon as her fingertips touched her wrist, she shuddered in pain, and tears welled up uncontrollably.
When has Sheng Qianrui ever suffered such injustice!
As the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, she grew up being pampered and adored by everyone.
Not to mention being treated so rudely, even if someone speaks a little harshly, her father would frown and make the other person apologize to her.
But now, she is locked in this cold hospital room like a prisoner, her wrist may be broken, but she can't even see a doctor.
“Xu Fangli…”
She gritted her teeth and uttered the name, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
If it weren't for her, why would Han Xi ignore her?
If it weren't for Xu Fangli, how could she, the daughter of the prestigious Sheng family, have ended up in this situation?
Xu Fangli!
Why doesn't she just die?!
Only when she dies will everything go back to normal!
Song Yuchen is such a useless piece of trash. He didn't even kill her when he had such a good opportunity!
Just then, the voices of two nurses came from the corridor, their footsteps hurried, as if they were rushing to somewhere.
"...Have you heard? The Xu family's daughter is not doing well; she was unconscious when she was taken to the operating room."
"Not only that, I heard from a colleague in the obstetrics and gynecology department that she's pregnant, less than two months along, and this shock and bleeding has made her baby very difficult to save..."
"My God, I heard her husband is from the Han family in Beijing. If this can't be saved, that Mr. Han will probably go crazy..."
The nurse's voice gradually faded away, but Sheng Qianrui stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
pregnant?
Fang Li is pregnant?
She suddenly raised her head, and a sharp pain shot through her injured wrist from the movement, but she couldn't feel it anymore.
The nurse's words echoed repeatedly in her mind, and her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a hand, the pain making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
"Hahaha……"
She suddenly burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the empty ward, carrying an almost manic quality.
Miscarriage?
It's good that you had a miscarriage! It's good that you had a miscarriage!
This is retribution!
What isn't hers, she can't keep even if she wants to.
With Xu Fangli moved away like this, she wasn't killed by Song Yuchen, and Sheng Qianrui suddenly felt that nothing was wrong.
She stood up, supporting herself on the edge of the bed, and stumbled to the window. Looking at the dark night sky outside, tears rolled down her cheeks without warning, hitting the windowsill and spreading into a small water stain.
From the very beginning, she and Han Xi were the most compatible couple.
They were neighbors who grew up together, and their families were old friends. Their elders had long accepted their relationship.
Although Han Xi had always been indifferent to her, no other woman had ever appeared in his life over the years. She was the only one, and even if he was indifferent to her, she was still special to him.
Later, he skipped a grade and went abroad to study before her. She studied desperately just to catch up with him and get into the same school.
Unfortunately, he was always so outstanding that she was always a step behind, always chasing after him.
However, she always felt that if even she, Sheng Qianrui, could not compare to a man, what woman in the world could do the same?
Until Xu Fangli appeared.
She was just a nobody who was despised by everyone, so why did she so easily win his favor?
Past memories flashed through Sheng Qianrui's mind like clips from an old movie, so vividly clear as if they happened just yesterday.
Xu Fangli's appearance was like a pebble thrown into her peaceful life, causing a huge uproar.
Han Xi's gaze began to follow her, all his attention was on her, and even the usually kind and gentle Old Master Han looked at her with a more scrutinizing gaze.
Why?
She is the daughter of Shengshi Group, while Fang Li is just a minor actress with an unknown family background. In terms of family background, appearance, and feelings for Han Xi, how can she compare to her?
It wasn't until she attended the Xu family's banquet this time that she realized where she had lost.
It turns out that Xu Fangli was not the country bumpkin that the outside world had been saying; she was actually the heiress of the prestigious Xu Group in Haicheng!
"Why...why did it turn out like this..."
Sheng Qianrui leaned against the cold wall, her shoulders shaking as she cried.
Tears blurred her vision, and she seemed to see Han Xi's gaze towards Fang Li again—that tenderness, that focus, was something she had never experienced before.
The pain in her wrist continued, as if reminding her of the harsh reality.
Her fingernails dug deep into her palms, and she was completely unaware that blood was seeping from them.
The lingering obsession with Han Xi and the yearning for the future in her heart were gradually cooling and freezing as the excruciating pain in her wrist grew, eventually turning into a hard stone that blocked her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
Just then, heavy footsteps echoed down the corridor.
