Jiang Youli slowly withdrew her hand, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Jiang Xing, do you think I need to explain myself to you for anything I do?"

Faced with Jiang Youli's arrogant attitude, Jiang Xing trembled with anger, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force. "Jiang Youli, don't push your luck! If you keep forcing me like this, believe me, I really will take you down with me!"

Jiang Youli laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Oh? You talk so righteously, but you really care so much about what I will do to Jiang Zhao? Then why did you send your mother away for me just now? In the end, it's just because you're afraid of losing your life."

Jiang Xing was stung by Jiang Youli's blunt sarcasm, and his face instantly turned extremely ugly, turning from green to red in turn, as colorful as a palette.

His lips trembled; he wanted to refute but couldn't find the right words.

Seeing this, Jiang Youli's smile deepened, and she continued to mock him mercilessly: "So don't pretend to be tough in front of me. Since you don't have the guts to die, then stop spouting nonsense in front of me."

After saying that, she flashed away, as nimble as a cat, and leaped out of the window, disappearing from Jiang Xing's sight.

Jiang Xing clenched his fists in humiliation, and after a long while, he turned to look at Jiang Zhao on the hospital bed.

Although I don't know what Jiang Youli just did, it certainly wasn't something good!

"I'm sorry, Jiang Zhao. You know my predicament. I was poisoned by Jiang Youli, and now I can't even protect myself, so I have no choice but to listen to her. If she really did something to hurt you just now and I couldn't stop her, I can only apologize to you. But don't worry, once I'm cured of the poison and no longer under her control, if you really don't wake up, I will avenge you."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xing suddenly thought: With the Jiang family in chaos after the car accident, and his uncle, aunt, and Jiang Youli all away from home, perhaps these next few days would be a good opportunity to have someone steal the antidote from the villa in the East District!

Lost in thought, Jiang Xing didn't notice that when he finished speaking, Jiang Zhao's eyelashes trembled on the hospital bed.

……

After leaving Jiang Zhao's ward, Jiang Youli nimbly flipped over and entered her own ward through the window.

Just then, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Before Jiang Youli could even get into bed, she turned her head and took a closer look. Fortunately, it wasn't her beautiful new mother and handsome new father, but Qi Huan.

Her previously tense nerves instantly relaxed, and she slowly lay back down on the hospital bed.

Qi Huan asked her, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"

"That's great. But you, your leg injury hasn't fully healed yet, and you're already going crazy with me. Are you alright now?"

"I'm perfectly fine. I just loosened up my muscles because I haven't exercised in a while." Qi Huan told Cheng Jing to stand guard outside and close the door, then pushed her wheelchair into the ward. "What mischief were you up to this time?"

Jiang Youli said helplessly, "Xiao Huanhuan, how come I can't hide anything from you? It will be difficult for me to tease you in the future."

Qi Huan laughed and said, "When it's time to play along with your performance, I'll pretend to be clueless."

Jiang Youli sighed, "You should know the saying, 'Too much intelligence can be a curse,' but..."

She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I do prefer intelligent men."

Especially after the two months she dated Duan Jinghan until their sudden breakup, she became even more certain that it's hard to stay together with someone whose pace isn't in sync with yours.

"I just went to see Jiang Zhao," Jiang Youli explained simply and calmly.

Qi Huan understood, "I heard he might remain unconscious indefinitely."

"Well, so... I did something to his brain to restore his consciousness, but he still can't move." Jiang Youli didn't hide anything from him.

Upon hearing this, Qi Huan quickly guessed her purpose: "You intend to make Jiang Zhao hear many things that he cannot hear or see when he is awake, even while he appears to be unconscious."

Jiang Youli hummed in agreement. "I just want Jiang Zhao to know how he betrayed me, his biological sister and the adopted sister he has always loved, without hesitating to hurt her."

It's impossible for her to be completely resentful about being abandoned by her own parents and brother.

However, she would never swallow her pride and compromise just to gain their cheap and meager affection.

She wanted to make them regret it clearly!

And she will never forgive them!

"We're really in the same boat, both betrayed by our own family members," Jiang Youli couldn't help but sigh.

Qi Huan, however, had already come to terms with it. "Having you is enough for me."

"Aren't you afraid I'll betray you?" Jiang Youli joked.

"You won't," Qi Huan said with certainty.

Jiang Youli smiled, "I certainly won't betray you, but I will face you head-on..."

She dragged out the syllables, taking a long time to finish the last sentence she hadn't said, "I bullied you!" As she spoke, she walked up to Qi Huan and touched his handsome face that she could never get enough of.

While groping her, he commented, "This face is so beautiful! I'll kiss it until it's worn out!"

With a doting smile in her eyes, Qi Huan said generously and frankly, "There's no need for later, we can kiss each other all the time right now."

Jiang Youli thought it made sense. "Yes, after surviving such a disaster, it's time to reward myself for being a little willful and reckless!"

As she spoke, she bent down to kiss Qi Huan's handsome face.

Just then—

The door opened, and Cheng Jing's voice came from outside, "Young Master, your father and Qi Yue have arrived."

Only after he finished speaking did he notice the ambiguous atmosphere in the ward.

Cheng Jing felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Jiang Youli stopped, straightened up, and teased, "Little Huanhuan, it seems I'll have to wait until later to kiss your lips raw."

Qi Huan sighed silently.

Although he didn't hear the young master's words of reprimand, Cheng Jing still felt uneasy just looking at the young master's back. But now he was in a dilemma, whether to close the door again or not.

"Looks like I'll have to hold my dad and Qi Yue accountable for being disturbed earlier." Qi Huan said helplessly, pushing her wheelchair away from Jiang Youli's ward.

Cheng Jing, who was standing guard at the door, made an apologetic gesture with his hands clasped together towards Jiang Youli inside the ward before closing the door.

……

"Big brother." Upon seeing Qi Huan slowly push open the ward door and enter in a wheelchair, Qi Yue, who had been anxiously waiting, immediately stood up and obediently called out.

He looked completely different from before.

Qi Tianxiang, sitting to the side, maintained a tense expression, exuding an air of superiority and authority, much like an elder.

With Cheng Jing's careful help, Qi Huan slowly lay back down on the hospital bed. After adjusting his position, he turned his gaze to Qi Yue and asked, "Have you taken care of everything I asked you to do yesterday?"

Qi Yue nodded vigorously and replied, "It's all taken care of. I've invited all the resigned employees back to the company."

Qi Huan smiled slightly upon hearing this, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Next time, don't try to be clever and act on your own without my instructions, understand?"

Faced with his elder brother's slightly threatening words, Qi Yue obediently nodded, "Understood."

After answering, Qi Yue hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Brother, it's really fortunate that you weren't in mortal danger in this car accident."

Upon hearing this, Qi Huan's lips curled up slightly in a half-smile, and she said, "Yes, do you think I'm just so lucky? Otherwise, you and Father would have gotten what you wanted."
