Mr. Rong, please stay. Miss Sang doesn't want to be a widow.

Mingmei's tears rolled down, and a few strands of hair fluttered on both sides of her cheeks, making her look particularly pitiful. She bit the corner of her lip and choked, "Second brother, I know I'm not worthy of him..."

Ming Zhan sneered, "You are quite self-aware."

Her bright eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings. She took a deep breath, her expression mournful. "When he told me about this, I initially refused, but he..."

Ming Zhan's eyes were cold, "Brother needs to rest, so stop talking nonsense."

Ming Mei sniffed, wiping her cheek with her scallion-white fingers, her voice slightly hoarse. "Brother, now that things have come to this, I have nothing to say. Please, for the sake of us being members of the Ming family, help me talk to Sister Wan and ask her not to ban me..."

Ming Zhan's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and a chill spread across his eyes. "You've caused such a great disaster, banning you is already the lightest punishment."

Mingmei's chest heaved violently, tears tumbling down her eyelashes. With a thud, she dropped to her knees, her shoulders heaving slightly. "Please give me a chance to correct my mistake. I won't do it again..."

Ming Zhan's eyes tightened and he angrily scolded, "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

"I..." Mingmei choked, raised her head, and looked at Mingxiao lying on the hospital bed, "Brother..."

Seeing her like this, Ming Xiao couldn't bear it. He frowned slightly and said softly, "You get up first."

Tears welled up in her bright eyes, and her delicate and beautiful face was pale and bloodless, so weak that it was heartbreaking.

Seeing that she was kneeling without moving, Ming Zhan's face darkened with anger and he reached out and pulled her up.

"Second brother...hiss..." Mingmei bit her lips tightly and let out a soft groan, like the weak cry of a wounded little animal.

Ming Xiao frowned deeply and said to Ming Zhan, "Ah Zhan, how about you go out first?"

Ming Zhan was stunned and looked down at him, "Brother, how can this be possible?"

Ming Xiao frowned slightly, "Let me talk to the fourth brother alone for a while."

Ming Zhan hesitated for a few seconds, his eyes darkened, and he warned Ming Mei, "If you dare to disrespect me again, I will definitely kick you out of the Ming family."

Mingmei twisted her fingers and lowered her head, looking aggrieved and pitiful.

Ming Zhan suppressed his anger and walked out.

The ward door closed gently. Ming Xiao leaned against the headboard, his eyelids slightly raised. "The one who really wants Haitangyuan isn't Rong Zhi, right?"

Mingmei was shocked and looked at him in disbelief, "Brother, you..."

Ming Xiao pulled the corner of his lips slightly and smiled faintly, "You want to ask me how I know, right?"

Mingmei opened her mouth and said, "Yes..."

Ming Xiao's gaze fell on the corners of her red and purple eyes, and he said softly, "Rong Zhi would never hit a woman."

Mingmei froze.

Ming Xiao continued, "Fourth Brother, you've always targeted Wanwan since we were little. Now you're actually teaming up with outsiders to deal with her..."

Mingmei's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand, she couldn't breathe, and her face turned red in an instant.

The air was quiet for a few seconds.

Ming Xiao's expression suddenly tensed, "Fourth Brother, the person who ordered you was Shen Yilin, the eldest son of the Shen family, right?"

Mingmei gasped and her body trembled uncontrollably.

The warmth in Ming Xiao's eyes faded, and a coldness flashed across his eyes. "If you provoke him, you will be courting death."

Mingmei felt a chill down her spine and shuddered involuntarily, "Brother, what should I do now?"

Ming Xiao's expression was solemn. "Do you know why Shen Yilin keeps targeting Wanwan?"

Mingmei pursed her lips, her eyes were frighteningly red, and her lips trembled, "I...I...don't know..."

"If you don't tell the truth, no one will be able to help you." Ming Xiao looked at her and his tone became gradually stern.

Mingmei's fingertips were about to pierce her palm. She was silent for a few seconds, then spoke with difficulty, "Brother, I told you, don't tell anyone."

Ming Xiao replied, "Go ahead."

-

Mingmei walked out of the ward, a glimmer of light flashed across her eyes, then disappeared in a flash.

She looked at Ming Zhan, whose face was tense, sniffed, and said in a hoarse voice, "Second brother, eldest brother wants you to come in."

Ming Zhan lowered his eyes and stared at her twice, his eyes filled with resentment. "Remember what I said. If you do it again, I will not let you off easily."

Without waiting for Mingmei's response, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Mingmei stood there, clenching her fingers, a deep cruelty in her eyes.

"Next time, I won't let you go either."

hum-

Mobile phone vibration.

Mingmei suddenly came to her senses and hurried towards the safe passage.

Ming Zhan walked into the ward and saw Ming Xiao lying on the bed with a calm expression. His heart finally settled down. "Brother, what did Ming Mei say to you?"

Ming Xiao curled the corners of his lips slightly, "Please call Wanwan for me. If time permits, I'll ask her to come over."

Ming Zhan couldn't help but frown, "Brother, are you planning to intercede for the fourth brother?"

Ming Xiao leaned over, took the cup, and drank two sips of warm water. He said calmly, "We're all members of the Ming family. If a fight really breaks out, it won't be good for the Ming family."

Ming Zhan said angrily, "I think it would be better if we could just make a scene."

Ming Xiao put down his water cup and whispered to him, "You will need the support of your second uncle in the future. If you make a fuss, it will be difficult for you in the future."

Ming Zhan's chest rose and fell violently, and the hatred deep in his eyes was very obvious. "Brother, if you have to swallow your anger just so that I can secure the position of heir, then I don't want this position."

"Nonsense!" Ming Xiao's face suddenly changed, and he shouted angrily, "Ah Zhan, if you say something like that again, I'll pretend you're not my brother."

"Brother, I..." Ming Zhan widened his eyes.

Ming Xiao looked at him, his breath weighing heavily on his chest. "Ah Zhan, I'm not swallowing my anger, nor am I trying to keep the peace. I'm just considering the overall situation."

Ming Zhan's blood suddenly flowed backwards and his face looked a little ugly.

Ming Xiao added, "If you don't fight, I'll do it myself."

Ming Zhan's heart trembled, and he whispered, "I'll call Wan'er now."

-

Sang Yuwan had just come out of Ning Wanzhen's ward when Ming Zhan called.

"Second brother..."

"Wan'er, do you have time now? Big brother wants to see you." Ming Zhan suppressed his emotions and spoke in a gentle voice.

Sang Yuwan's heart skipped a beat, thinking Ming Xiao was in trouble, and asked him anxiously, "What happened, big brother?"

Ming Zhan said, "He just wants to see you..."

"I'll be there right away. That's it for now." Sang Yuwan hung up the phone without waiting for him to finish.

Ming Zhan slowly removed the phone from his ear, his internal organs clenched together, and he said silently in his heart, "She doesn't want to say a word to me. It seems that she really wants to draw a clear line between us."

Ming Xiao saw that his face was a little pale, and a trace of worry appeared in his eyes, "What's wrong?"

Ming Zhan hastily came back to his senses and gave him a strained smile, "Wan'er said she'll be here soon."

Ming Xiao didn't say anything else.

The so-called authorities are confused, but bystanders know clearly.

He saw more clearly than anyone else that Ming Zhan lost to Rong Zhi in this battle for love.
