The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Su Che took out a stethoscope from the medicine box to examine Yao Yingxi, and then checked the injury on her arm.

Yao Yingxi was wearing loose clothes, so they were easily pulled apart.

After examining the arm, Su Che bent down and prepared the medicine in the medicine box.

Xi Yuanchen stood beside him the whole time, but he felt embarrassed to help check his feet.

Su Che ordered Xi Yuanchen, "Go and get that clothes hanger."

Last time, Xi Yuanchen was able to boss him around even while he was lying in a hospital bed; this time, it's his turn.

Xi Yuanchen turned back without thinking too much, picked up a chair and placed it on the bedside table.

Seeing that his expression wasn't bad, Su Che didn't say anything and, feeling awkward, lowered his head to give Yao Yingxi the injection.

He bent down and pulled Yao Yingxi's hand out, dabbed some medicine on it with a cotton swab, and then inserted the syringe needle.

Yao Yingxi, lying on the bed, frowned.

After finishing, Su stood up and packed his medicine box: "There's one more bottle of medicine. Change it yourself after you finish the injection."

Xi Yuanchen stared at her: "How is she?"

Su Che smiled and said, "He was under a lot of stress and caught a cold, so he fainted."

Xi Yuanchen remained expressionless, utterly bewildered.

Su Che said, "Yao Yingxi is like a balloon that's been blown up, and then it suddenly explodes when it's pricked by a toothpick."

Seeing Xi Yuanchen remain silent, Su Che continued, "I don't know what happened to her that caused her endocrine imbalance and such mental stress. It would be best to take her out for a walk to relax, otherwise, a serious endocrine imbalance could have severe consequences."

Excessive endocrine imbalance can lead to depression.

Xi Yuanchen's face remained cold.

Su Che felt he had said everything he needed to as a doctor, and he glanced at Yao Yingxi lying on the bed.

I don't know when Xi Yuanchen developed this strange habit of abusing people, especially outside; otherwise, why would he bring them back?

Su Che turned around and was about to leave.

Xi Yuanchen spoke up: "She has injuries. Have you finished examining her?"

Su Che sneered. He knew the other person was injured, so why didn't he do this earlier? He forced himself on her and now he feels sorry for her?

"Yao Yingxi's injuries are nothing serious, just superficial wounds. You can just disinfect them with some medicine."

After saying that, Su Che walked away.

Xi Yuanchen grabbed his arm: "Give me the medicine."

Su Che was taken aback, both angry and amused: "Where the hell would I get medicine? Go buy it yourself."

Xi Yuanchen frowned, extremely displeased.

Su Che was a little afraid of him and said irritably, "I don't know when you got into that kind of weird behavior. You're so competitive, so I didn't bring it. You can have someone buy it."

Xi Yuanchen released Su Che's hand, his expression becoming even more unpleasant.

However, he did not intend to explain to Su Che that Yao Yingxi's injuries had nothing to do with him.

Su Che, carrying his medicine box, gave Xi Yuanchen a meaningful look and left on his own.

Xi Yuanchen lowered his eyes and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He took out his phone and made a call: "The person who bought the scrape medicine needs to come over."

He hung up the phone and was about to put it away.

Suddenly, Yao Yingxi on the bed shouted, "Don't come any closer!"

Xi Yuanchen walked over and saw that Yao Yingxi's hand, which was on the quilt, was clenched into a fist, making her look wary.

He involuntarily leaned down and sat on the edge of the bed, holding Yao Yingxi's hand.

Recalling the events of the day, Xi Yuanchen felt a strange sense of fear.

One after another, Yao Yingxi felt extremely bad because she was constantly being hurt.

He couldn't imagine not coming back and discovering that Yao Yingxi had been kidnapped.

Perhaps, even if she died in that abandoned factory outside the city, her body rotting and covered in maggots, no one would discover Yao Yingxi's corpse.

Thinking of this, his breathing became rapid, and he felt a tightness in his chest, as if a stone was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.

……

When Yao Yingxi woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

When a person has been in a state of high tension for a long time and suddenly relaxes, their endocrine system also relaxes.

She opened her eyes and was greeted by a familiar room, her mind instantly flooded with memories of yesterday.

Yao Yingxi flinched, trembling as she gritted her teeth.

Yesterday's events kept replaying in my mind, making me feel uneasy and afraid.

Yao Yingxi braced her elbow against the soft bed, feeling a stinging pain in her elbow. She winced in pain and looked down to see that her elbow was scraped.

She was probably injured during yesterday's struggle. Yao Yingxi used her palms to brace herself against the bed and get off.

She remembered that Xi Yuanchen came before she lost consciousness; he must have brought her back.

When Yao Yingxi came out of the bathroom after washing up, no one had opened the bedroom door.

She lowered her eyes and mocked herself. How could she expect Xi Yuanchen to stay home and take care of her after she came back when she was injured?

Yao Yingxi, don't flatter yourself. You're just as you said yesterday.

To Xi Yuanchen, you are nothing more than a plaything with no status.

Pushing open the bedroom door and entering the living room, Yao Yingxi did not linger in the hall but went straight to the kitchen.

Including yesterday until now, she has gone almost 24 hours without drinking a drop of water or eating a single grain of rice.

At this moment, Yao Yingxi felt so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back.

After making a phone call in his study, Xi Yuanchen wondered if Yao Yingxi had woken up.

He hung up the phone and opened the study door to come out.

Yao Yingxi had just reached the kitchen door when she heard the door to the study open, and subconsciously turned back to look.

At this moment, Xi Yuanchen stood at the door in his home clothes, his face with sharp features and his thin lips pursed.

Yao Yingxi was somewhat taken aback that Xi Yuanchen was still at home. She moved her lips, and finally said stiffly, "Mr. Xi, thank you for yesterday."

If Xi Yuanchen hadn't arrived in time yesterday, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After those three people were provoked by her, her fate would probably be ten times worse than Li Zhi said.

Perhaps I won't even survive or get out of that factory.

Xi Yuanchen stared at her, and as if possessed, replied, "You are my person, so naturally I will protect you."

The implication was that he wouldn't be polite; it was his responsibility and obligation.

Yao Yingxi didn't say anything more and went into the kitchen.

She opened the refrigerator, only to find it, which had been empty, now crammed full of things.

However, without asking, Yao Yingxi knew that this was probably something Xi Yuanchen had instructed someone to do.

After opening all the freezers and checking what was in the refrigerator, she took out clams, squid, enoki mushrooms, vegetables, and noodles.

Soak the clams and squid separately in water, and pour some sesame oil and salt into the bowl with the clams.

Yao Yingxi boiled water, put the soaked clams in and scalded them until they opened before taking them out and rinsing them under cold water.

After Yao Yingxi finished making the clam noodles, she poured them into two large bowls and carried them out.

Xi Yuanchen was sitting in the living room, on the phone: "Prepare all the documents for Yao Yingxi to study abroad."

Yao Yingxi came out of the kitchen and only heard Xi Yuanchen's last few words, but when she heard him mention foreign countries, she felt a lump in her throat.
