106: anger
On the way home after the check-up, Xu Wen was silent, which scared Xu Zhiyou.
"Sis, hey!"
"You'd better shut up. I'm in a very bad mood right now. Don't provoke me, or I'll have those three eliminated."
Xu Zhiyou immediately chose to shut up after hearing that. Her elder sister really would. To have climbed to her current position, she must have had some methods, or she would have died countless times already. She didn't doubt it at all.
Upon arriving home, Xu Wen looked at Xu Zhiyou and said, "Have you thought about how to convince Dad?" Her father was a total doting father.
If he saw Xu Zhiyou's wound, she couldn't guarantee what her father wouldn't do.
"It's fine, this was just a misunderstanding, and it was my own lack of skill. I can't blame anyone else."
"You're not unskilled, you're just afraid to be ruthless." She understood the whole process. If it weren't for someone protecting her, who knows what the consequences would have been.
"I didn't!"
"You just shut up. How many times have I told you, either you hold it in, or if you're going to fight, be ruthless. I'll take care of anything that happens. What's the point of holding back?"
Xu Zhiyou knew that anything she said would be useless. Her elder sister probably even had a recording on her desk, so there was no way to argue.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to scold you. This is the last time. If something like this happens again, I'll personally send you to join the army, the real army. Don't doubt me."
"Is that really necessary? Who can guarantee this won't happen again? What if I really can't win?"
"Then your ability is lacking, and you should go even more."
"Ugh!!!"
She wanted to die. She should have known to play around outside for a few more rounds before coming back. What kind of situation was this? She wasn't afraid of anything else, but she really couldn't get up in the morning. It was deadly.
"Alas! What a sin ~"
After sighing, she quickly followed her elder sister. Pushing open the door, she saw both her father and mother were home. Luckily, her mother was there; she could still try to persuade her father.
Before she could speak, Jiang Ling stepped forward, pulled open the clothing on her shoulder, removed the gauze, and looked at it. Then she checked the wound on her abdomen.
Her expression was also very grim, but she didn't blame Xu Zhiyou, which proved that her daughter had correct values and there was nothing to blame her for.
"Wen Wen, what did the doctor say?"
"Slight fracture of the left scapula, can heal on its own. Abdomen was stabbed, no strenuous exercise. Nothing else."
"Youyou, why didn't you call home?"
Seeing her daughter still smiling brightly, she felt a sudden pang of heartache. It was the first time she had been injured like this.
"Mom, I'm fine. I have good physical fitness. This is just a small matter. Haha ~"
"A small matter? You know you have good physical fitness. If you didn't, do you believe you'd already be crippled?"
"But I was the one who misunderstood them first. I really can't blame anyone else."
"Don't blame? What did your sister tell you? When you're out, remember to protect yourself. But you, you get involved in everything."
Xu Lisong also saw the wound on her scapula. Being experienced, he immediately judged that the opponent was aiming for her heart.
"Uh!"
"Are you trying to die? Why are you yelling at my daughter?"
"Can't you tell that they weren't just fighting? They were trying to kill her. Do you believe that if Youyou hadn't dodged that one time, she'd be in the ICU right now?"
Jiang Ling hadn't trained, so she naturally didn't know these things. Hearing those words, her temper flared up. Getting into a fight and getting injured was one thing.
But if someone was trying to kill her daughter, this matter wouldn't be over.
"You are not allowed to go to Peninsula again. Stay home. Once you're better, I'll help you find a company."
"No, Mom, this was really a misunderstanding."
Her mother was preparing to take action. Not letting her go to Peninsula meant making her draw a clear line, and if she really drew a clear line, that would be terrible.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? This nearly killed you, and you're still defending them."
"The thing is, I ambushed one of them, and if the other one was also knocked down, they were afraid of hurting his sister, so..."
"You go in first. Your dad and I will discuss it. Wen Wen, take her to her room."
"Oh!" Xu Wen was also afraid of her angry mother, so she obediently pulled her away.
"Mom, it really was a misunderstanding! I made the first move! You should at least understand the situation!" Xu Zhiyou was speechless. She really hadn't expected this situation.
"You just shut up."
"Sis, it really was a misunderstanding!"
"Don't tell me, I don't know." She was directly knocked out with a hand chop and carried away. Jiang Ling was quite speechless watching Xu Wen's actions.
"You two chat. I'll put her on the bed."
After Xu Wen carried her to the room, she re-applied medicine and covered her with a blanket. She suddenly regretted sending her to Peninsula.
Just staying at home, eating and waiting to die, was also quite good.
The two silent people in the living room, Jiang Ling suddenly asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I don't know!" He wanted to kill Kim Min-joon, but his daughter would be unhappy, so he really didn't know what to do.
Jiang Ling asked again, "Zhou Li is still at Peninsula, right?"
"He is."
"Then let him go and see what their attitude is. If they resent Youyou, then Youyou should come back. If their attitude is good, then let this matter go!"
"Just let it go? I haven't even touched her with a finger, why should she be beaten like that? If it were because she was arrogant and overbearing, then fine, but where did she go wrong?"
Jiang Ling took a deep breath and said, "Misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Couldn't they have called about the gathering? Where did Youyou go wrong? Should she not have meddled, or should she have held back?"
"If she had been hit in any other part, I could convince myself, but that was her heart. Didn't you see that wound? Her scapula was shattered. If it had hit her heart directly, would she still be alive?"
Xu Wen came out and heard her father's words, also feeling a chill. If her younger sister had been even slightly less skilled, she would have been gone.
"Dad, Mom, should I go and see for myself?"
"Don't be silly, you know the rules, it's not appropriate." Xu Lisong had principles; anger was one thing, but he couldn't create trouble.
"But?"
"Listen to your dad, you can't go. What if it causes a diplomatic incident? Do you still want your future?"
"Then what do you plan to do? Have you thought about it? While she's asleep, resolve it completely for her. Her anger will only last a few days."
"Let Zhou Li take a good look first."
Jiang Ling was still more rational, giving them a chance. If the other party resented her daughter, then she couldn't be blamed.
She also agreed with Xu Lisong's words. The responsibility for this matter did not lie with her daughter. Her only mistake was being overly kind-hearted and meddling.
"Alright, as long as you two have thought it through."
Sitting on the sofa, she began to think. She actually hoped her mother would be more decisive, so she could just bring her back.
After this incident, she also felt it would be more reassuring to have her under her watchful eye.
In the evening, Xu Zhiyou opened her eyes. Seeing the familiar starry ceiling, she thought she was dreaming and didn't immediately recover.
Suddenly stimulated by the pain in her arm, she snapped back to reality. She was home.
Just as she was about to go back to sleep, she remembered that her elder sister had knocked her out.
