Fu Chengli strode over, pulled out a chair next to the hospital bed, and sat down lazily.

The doctor sighed, "Ms. An, your cousin can also help with your condition. You should let him take care of you."

An Ying: "..."

Fu Chengli raised his chin and gestured for An Ying to look at her phone.

An Ying's fingers, which were swiping across the screen, stopped. Her eyes were fixed on the various news articles, and her head was buzzing.

Fu Chengli smiled meaningfully.

"Little cousin, congratulations on your instant fame."

The trending search exploded.

"A brawl breaks out! At the engagement banquet of the CEO of the Lu Corporation, ex-girlfriend vs. current girlfriend, who will sit in the seat of the young mistress!"

"The family is going crazy! Brother-in-law slept with sister-in-law? Young Master Lu's secret relationship exposed!"

"Pregnant woman forcing marriage to secure a position? Is the Fu family's adopted son really that morally corrupt?"

These self-media outlets nowadays know how to create headlines.

There are also short videos showing various chaotic scenes at engagement parties.

The most popular short video received over a million likes.

The comment section was full of onlookers laughing.

This matter has blown up completely.

Upon seeing the words "Fu Family," An Ying was completely bewildered.

It's one thing for her to lose face.

If the Fu family is implicated, it will tarnish the history of this top-tier wealthy family in Beicheng...

Even the wealthiest families can be ruthless and heartless when they turn on each other.

An Weiping looks like the child that Grandpa Fu adopted when he was young.

If things escalate, it's highly likely he'll be kicked out of the Fu family a second time.

An Ying had heard before that more than 20 years ago, when her father was first kicked out of the Fu family, he was apparently chased and killed.

Things are different now. Even though they were kicked out of the Fu family, An Weiping and An Xiaoxiao still have the Lu family as their backers.

But what about An Ying?

An Xiaoxiao and Xu Mei, along with their heartless father, all wished the Fu family would kill her as soon as possible.

In the northern part of the city, she, a lonely and helpless girl, would have no way to survive.

As viewers swiped through the video, some gossipy netizens, eager for drama, supported her in exposing the scumbag and the manipulative woman, even saying they wanted to jump into the screen to help her fight back.

Fu Chengli looked relaxed, his slender fingers lightly tapping the phone screen, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"I never knew my little cousin had such a surprising side to her. I'd never seen it before."

An Ying lay back on the hospital bed, feeling utterly helpless, and had no mood to respond to her "cousin's" teasing.

Her mind was filled with images of the Fu family sending people to hunt her down, and her fleeing for her life from the North City in a sorry state.

She and Fu Chengli were not familiar with each other to begin with.

Since she first returned to the Fu family with An Weiping when she was twelve years old, counting on her fingers, the two of them have met no more than ten times in total over the years.

In the Fu family, she was an awkward outsider.

An Ying only learned about many news items related to the Fu family by going online herself.

This cousin, on the surface, is a cynical and dissolute playboy.

Behind the scenes, he is a ruthless and decisive elite CEO.

He was never a kind or friendly person.

Would he risk public backlash to visit a stranger who had caused trouble in the hospital?

An Ying closed her eyes and said calmly, "Is my cousin in such a good mood to come and make a fool of me?"

A thought flashed through my mind.

She had heard all sorts of rumors before, describing how ruthless Fu Chengli was and how he had almost killed someone.

I don't know if the gossip is true or not, but it's scary enough.

An Ying suddenly looked up at him, tears clinging to her long eyelashes:

"You, you're not sent by the Fu family to deal with me, are you? Um... my kidneys aren't worth much, and I'm just a common O-type blood, can you please leave me a whole body? I want to be buried with my mother..."

Fu Chengli was so angry he almost laughed.

What did An Ying think of him?

A domineering CEO who readily resorts to kidney harvesting, blood selling, and sending people to prison?

Although he did do it.

That all happened back when I was abroad.

At this moment, Secretary Chen walked into the emergency room and said respectfully, "Mr. Fu, all the formalities have been completed."

Fu Chengli nodded.

Secretary Chen said to An Ying, "Ms. An, I will arrange for a caregiver to take you to the VIP ward immediately."

An Ying asked in confusion, "It's just a minor injury. I'll be discharged in a couple of days. I don't need to stay in such an expensive ward."

Secretary Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry about the expenses."

An Ying murmured, "That's not what I'm worried about..."

Fu Chengli slowly got up, his left hand in his pocket and his right hand loosely holding his black coat.

His tall figure approached step by step, staring intently at her.

"You have to go, or I'll worry."

He spoke in a deep, sexy voice, with a drawn-out, rising tone at the end, his voice carrying a hint of tenderness and lingering affection.

Fu Chengli smiled wickedly: "I was worried that you would cry too loudly at night because of a man, disturbing other people's sleep. The VIP ward is very soundproof, so you can cry however you want."

An Ying's face fell.

I want to shut his jerky mouth with a pillow.

An Ying was certain that Fu Chengli had come specifically to see her make a fool of herself.

After a series of examinations, the nurse instructed An Ying: "This time you almost damaged your nerves. You need to take good care of yourself and keep applying the medication, otherwise there will be aftereffects."

The nurse lifted her clothes high and pulled her pants down a bit.

An Ying lay face down on the hospital bed, forced to expose her fair back and slender waist.

The thin pants accentuated the rounded curves of her hips, and her private groin was faintly visible.

An Ying was a little embarrassed.

Since it was a perfectly legitimate dressing change, she racked her brains for a long time but couldn't come up with any excuse to get Fu Chengli away from staring at her body.

She hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "Could you please leave?"

Fu Chengli tilted his head in confusion: "Why?"

An Ying bit her lip: "What's so interesting about applying medicine!"

Fu Chengli blinked and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I'm a family member, I can see."

While applying the medicine, the nurse said, "Oh right, family members, don't leave."

Fu Chengli stood to the side like a well-behaved student, nodding in agreement with the nurse's words.

After the bandage was finished, the nurse added, "Family member, remember to rest well after the wound heals, and apply scar-reducing ointment as well. Look at your delicate skin, it would be so unsightly to have a scar on your waist."

Fu Chengli stared intently at her wound without saying a word.

Before long, Fu Chengli disappeared without a trace.

An Ying breathed a sigh of relief; the big Buddha was finally gone.

That evening, after the caregiver had taken care of An Ying's dinner, her phone rang; it was Ye Rao calling.

"Honey, I just got out of jail. How are you doing in the hospital?"

Ye Rao is in jail?

It turned out that Lu's mother felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to let the matter drop, but An Weiping and Xu Mei couldn't swallow their anger and insisted on calling the police, accusing Ye Rao of intentional injury and taking the matter to the police station.

Lu Qiyao was also injured. His spoiled brat temper flared up, and he said that Ye Rao had damaged property and disturbed public order. An Weiping then jumped in and said that Ye Rao had made him bleed from the nose... In short, it was a complete mess.

An Ying asked anxiously, "I'm fine, how are you now?"

Ye Rao smiled and said, "Hmph, I am Attorney Ye, a partner at a well-known law firm in Beicheng. I can easily handle this little trouble."

She sighed again: "It's because my dad was bothered. I won't say more. My dad punished me by making me memorize the law. It's such a thick book. I'll come to see you at the hospital again tomorrow."

Before hanging up, Ye Rao remembered something: "Why have I rarely heard you mention Fu Chengli before?"

"Baby, you better hold on tight to Fu Chengli's leg!"

"Do you know how dangerous yesterday was? If he hadn't saved you, I don't know what I would have done."
