The moment the fruit knife pierced Qiao Zhinuan's body, the sound of police sirens rang out.

Wang Xiaoyu never expected that Qiao Zhinuan would actually shield Tang Xia from harm.

"Why? Don't you hate her?"

Qiao Zhinuan was covered in blood and collapsed on the ground.

Her gaze passed over Wang Xiaoyu and fell on the sunlight outside.

A weak voice sounded.

"Perhaps, I hated the wrong person from the very beginning."

Jin Yao, accompanied by the police, quickly rushed in.

Wang Xiaoyu was pinned to the ground.

But all that remained in his eyes was confusion.

The ambulance took Qiao Zhinuan away, and Tang Xia was also taken to the police station to give a statement.

She told him everything she knew.

The police were also somewhat frightened.

"Miss Tang, you must never do something so dangerous again next time."

"Exactly. Sister Tang Xia, what did you promise me before? You said you wouldn't act impulsively and would protect yourself. Were you just trying to comfort me?"

Tang Xia patted the back of her hand and said with a faint smile, "I'm fine, aren't I? Also, please don't tell your brother about this, I'm afraid it will distract him."

Jin Xinghan's trip abroad this time was to deal with the matter of Jin's younger uncle.

This person is also ruthless.

Jin Yao also knew the seriousness of the matter and simply nodded.

"Don't worry, I know what's appropriate."

Tang Xia was not sent home until evening.

Jin Yao originally wanted to stay and keep her company.

But Yu Xin called him back.

He said he fell in the bathroom.

Although Jin Yao knew this was just another excuse, she still had no choice but to go back.

Tang Xia told her not to worry about her.

"Aunt Ruan is here."

But as night deepened...

Tang Xia tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

She was indeed scared when Wang Xiaoyu rushed at her with a knife today.

I also regret that I was so impulsive.

If she really dies because of this, what will happen to Niannian?

And Jin Xinghan...

Since the day he left the country, there has been no news from him.

According to Jin Yao, Jin's younger brother and Selena also rushed back this afternoon.

I wonder if they discovered Jin Xinghan's actions.

But she really couldn't help with these things.

That night, Tang Xia thought about many things.

So much so that when Aunt Ruan saw her complexion the next morning, she almost called an ambulance.

"Xia, were you frightened yesterday?"

"A little bit."

"It's alright. I'll make you a calming soup at noon. Just stay home and rest for the next few days, don't go anywhere, okay?"

Tang Xia nodded.

But it's impossible to get her to stay home obediently.

Just after breakfast, news came from the hospital that Qiao Zhinuan was out of danger.

Tang Xia decided to go to the hospital to get checked out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the door of the ward, I saw Qiao Zhiyu and Lin Yiyue.

The two seemed to be arguing about something.

The moment Lin Yiyue saw Tang Xia, she felt an urge to kill her.

"How dare you show your face here? If it weren't for you, would Zhi Nuan have suffered so much?"

Qiao Zhiyu frowned, somewhat disagreeing with her words.

But it did not stop it.

Tang Xia just sneered and didn't intend to get entangled with them any further.

Soon, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao arrived as well.

Just then, Qiao Zhinuan woke up.

The elderly couple were in tears, as if they were extremely regretful.

"Zhi Nuan, it was Dad's fault. Dad shouldn't have hit you."

"Zhi Nuan, please forgive your father. He was just angry in the moment."

Lin Yiyue went inside and immediately had a motive to sow discord.

"Mom and Dad, please don't be like this. Seeing you cry makes Zhinuan feel terrible too. Besides, no matter how you look at it, you can't blame Dad. If anyone is to blame, it's that murderer Wang Xiaoyu!"

Upon hearing her voice, Qiao Zhinu rolled her eyes.

Then he closed his eyes, looking like he didn't want to see her at all.

Lin Yiyue couldn't save face.

But unfortunately, everyone in the ward had the surname Qiao, and she was the only outsider, so she couldn't make a scene.

Suddenly, she thought of someone else.

"By the way, Zhi Nuan, Tang Xia is here too. She's right at the door. I know you don't want to see her, so I'll make her leave right now."

Upon hearing Tang Xia's name, Qiao Zhinuan suddenly turned her head.

"Let her in..."

The Qiao family members were all taken aback.

Lin Yiyue thought she hadn't heard her clearly, so she repeated, "Zhi Nuan, the one outside is Tang Xia!"

"I know, let her in."

But then Lin Yiyue thought that perhaps Tang Xia was brought in to humiliate her.

She walked happily to the door and opened it.

"Zhi Nuan is awake. I'm letting you in. But don't blame me for not warning you beforehand. Zhi Nuan has just been out of danger. The doctor said she can't have any major emotional fluctuations. No matter what Zhi Nuan says or does, you'd better just quietly accept it!"

Tang Xia only glanced at her indifferently.

"Then move aside."

Lin Yiyue narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at her arrogant attitude.

Lying on her hospital bed, Qiao Zhinuan called out weakly, "Sister-in-law..."

"Hey, Zhi Nuan, do you want some water?"

Lin Yiyue immediately agreed.

But when Qiao Zhinu sat up, she grabbed Tang Xia's hand.

Lin Yiyue's outstretched hand was left awkwardly hanging in mid-air.

Qiao Zhinu didn't even glance at her.

Lin Yiyue withdrew her hand, looked at Qiao Zhiyu with a wronged expression, and then touched her lower abdomen.

Among them are members of the Qiao family.

Before Qiao Zhiyu could even speak, Qiao's father couldn't sit still any longer.

With a stern face, he rebuked, "Zhi Nuan, I think you're really confused. She and your brother have been divorced for a long time. Why are you still calling her sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Qiao chimed in, "Yes, and you've become like this because of this woman. Don't forget the shame our Qiao family has suffered because of some small favor from others!"

"Enough!" Qiao Zhinuan's eyes reddened, and her cold gaze swept over the group of people. "I've become like this because I don't blame anyone but myself. I only blame myself for not seeing some things and some people clearly sooner!"

Qiao Zhiyu frowned deeply: "Qiao Zhinuan! How dare you talk to your parents like that?"

"Qiao Zhiyu, how dare you ask me that?" Qiao Zhinu looked at her brother with such hatred for the first time. "I've been missing for so long, have you ever looked for me? Have you ever been worried about me? If it weren't for Tang Xia, I would have died long ago. It's ridiculous that you all call yourselves my family, but in the end, it was someone who has no blood relation to me, someone I hurt because of my ignorance, who saved me."

Qiao Zhinuan's words were written with tears of blood.

Every word he uttered was filled with deep regret for Tang Xia.

However, her parents and older brother still thought that she had suffered too much trauma and was not thinking clearly, which was why she said such things.

Mr. Qiao glared fiercely at Tang Xia: "What kind of bewitching potion did you give my daughter?!"
