He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

The next second, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open.

Xiao Wan rushed in and went straight to the bedside. When she saw the shocking wounds on Song Zhi's cheek, her mouth opened slightly and she asked in a trembling voice, "Zhizhi, what happened? How did you get so badly injured?"

Faced with Xiao Wan's concerned inquiry, Song Zhi did not respond immediately, but simply asked in return, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Wan quickly explained, "Jia Chen messaged me to tell me. He was very worried about you, so he asked me to come and check on you as soon as possible."

After listening, Song Zhi gently shook her head and said calmly, "I'm really fine. You didn't need to come all this way."

"Zhizhi, I..."

Xiao Wan was about to say something more, but Song Zhi interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

Song Zhi quickly said, "I'm really not seriously ill, so I won't trouble you to stay here with me. You should go back soon; my boyfriend will be here to take care of me in a little while."

Xiao Wan's face stiffened instantly, and she stared intently at Song Zhi.

At this moment, Song Zhi remained calm, as if all of this had nothing to do with her, and her face showed no extra expression whatsoever.

Looking at Song Zhi, who was both familiar and unfamiliar to her, Xiao Wan suddenly felt an indescribable sense of distress.

She never imagined they would become so distant.

Although Song Zhi had always been very aloof to people, Xiao Wan still did not leave this time, even in the face of Song Zhi's cold attitude.

Watching Xiao Wan tirelessly running around for her, Song Zhi felt an indescribable emotion welling up inside her, which eventually turned into a soft sigh that escaped her lips.

"Late night."

While busy at work, Xiao Wan suddenly heard Song Zhi call her name, and she froze instantly.

But only for a moment, she quickly came to her senses, looked at Song Zhi with concern, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Should I call a doctor to come and take a look right away?"

Seeing Xiao Wan's extremely nervous appearance, Song Zhi gently shook her head: "I'm fine, don't be so anxious, sit down and rest for a while."

However, Xiao Wan did not listen to Song Zhi's advice to rest. Instead, she muttered, "I'll set out your breakfast first. I specifically asked the doctor beforehand, and they said you can eat normally now."

As she spoke, she deftly placed the breakfast she had specially gone out to buy early that morning onto the table.

After everything was arranged, Xiao Wan turned to Song Zhi and asked gently, "Zhi Zhi, do you plan to eat in bed, or would you like to get out of bed and sit in a chair to eat slowly?"

After thinking for a moment, Song Zhi replied, "I think I'd better come down to eat."

Xiao Wan nodded in agreement, and then said, "In that case, you can sit on the edge of the bed and wait. I'll move the table over here right away."

Before Song Zhi could even respond, Xiao Wan had already taken action on her own, deftly moving the heavy table to the bedside.

Then, with a warm and friendly smile on her face, she said softly to Song Zhi, "Eat up, take your time. I'll clean up after you're done."

Song Zhi gazed quietly at the girl in front of her. The pent-up anger in her heart seemed to find an outlet in an instant, and suddenly she felt completely at ease.

She picked up her rice bowl, ate her food in small bites, and looked up with concern and curiosity in her eyes. She asked softly, "By the way, how are things between you and that man now?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wan, who was tidying up the clutter on the table, was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered, a sly smile spreading across her face as she chuckled:

"Don't mention that scumbag."

Song Zhi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"He went to jail himself, and his mother is paralyzed in bed. What's even more ridiculous is that his young wife, sensing trouble, had long since vanished without a trace."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi was somewhat surprised.

But come to think of it.

Given the Xiao family's status, dealing with a scumbag like Jiang Huai is a piece of cake.

Before she could speak, Xiao Wan leaned closer and said mysteriously, "By the way, let me tell you something funny."

Song Zhi asked curiously, "What?"

"Didn't he want my house before because of his son? But then he found out the son wasn't his. Hahaha, isn't that ridiculous?"

Upon hearing these words, Song Zhi's mouth dropped open in astonishment; this could be considered reaping what she sowed.

Song Zhi asked, "By the way, how did he get in? What did he do wrong?"

Xiao Wan snorted and curled her lip in disdain, replying nonchalantly, "Hmph, what else could it be? This scumbag is unrepentant! He begged me to get back together before, but when I refused, he went so far as to kidnap me, trying to force himself on me!"

Song Zhi's chopsticks suddenly stopped, and she froze, stunned for a long while. It took her a while to come to her senses, and she asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Huh... you said you were kidnapped by Jiang Huai? When did this happen?"

Xiao Wan quickly waved her hand and said reassuringly, "Oh, it was just something that happened a while ago. But look at me, I'm perfectly fine now, so don't worry, hehehe."

Looking at her still carefree and nonchalant demeanor, as if nothing had happened, Song Zhi couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in her mouth.

She finally couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Xiao Wan simply lowered her head and remained silent, seemingly unable to meet his gaze.

For a moment, an awkward and suffocating atmosphere filled the space between the two.

Song Zhi opened her mouth, about to say something to break the silence, when she suddenly heard Xiao Wan say softly, "Zhizhi, I am really sorry about what happened before."

Song Zhi was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise appearing on her face.

Why did you suddenly bring this up?

she asked confused.

Xiao Wan smiled wryly and slowly raised her head to look at Song Zhi, her eyes filled with guilt.

"It's all my fault after all. I'm sorry. Even if you can't forgive me, that's only right. In the future, you must be more careful when you interact with people, and never encounter a two-faced 'friend' like me again..."

After saying these words, Xiao Wan lowered her head again and remained silent.

Song Zhi didn't say anything, she just sat there quietly eating her meal.

At this moment, he was filled with mixed feelings and really didn't know how to respond to Xiao Wan's sudden words.

Xiao Wan took a deep breath and slowly said, "After I finish taking care of you and you are discharged from the hospital, I... probably won't contact you again."
