264: Chu Xiong's cruelty and Chu Ling's despair

In the hospital room.

As the complaints rang out one after another, Chu Ling was surprised to find that the voice and tone were identical to the handsome young man beside her.

But when she looked up, she saw that Lin Xuan hadn't even opened his mouth?!

"Could it be..."

"What I'm hearing is... this man's inner thoughts?! Have I awakened a legendary superpower???"

"..."

Because she usually enjoyed reading novels, besides romance and Overbearing CEO dramas, Chu Ling had also delved into various genres of exciting stories like urban superpowers, Eastern fantasy, and otherworld continents.

So, facing such a bizarre situation, she accepted it very quickly.

Of course... she still couldn't be sure whether she had awakened a golden finger or if it was auditory hallucinations caused by her worsening condition... after all, the content of Lin Xuan's inner thoughts was simply too outlandish.

According to the information revealed in his words, she was actually his Cousin???

How could this be?! She didn't have any older male Cousins!

Even if she did, they would be those lecherous lazy men from the countryside, how could it be such a handsome and dashing young talent?!

Wait... if what this person said was true... then my current parents?!

Was I kidnapped by human traffickers when I was young???

And who is Huo Qichen? Is he my destined one?

Why does this man know so much? We've never met before!

Does he also have a superpower???

Predicting the future???

...Chu Ling suddenly clutched her head, feeling a splitting headache.

A series of sudden information bombardments left her mind in a mess, filled with all sorts of questions.

She instinctively opened her mouth, wanting to ask Lin Xuan a question.

"I just heard XXXXX..."

??????

Chu Ling was completely dumbfounded.

She had just wanted to speak about what she had heard.

But as soon as she tried to mention the key information, she became like a mute, with some mysterious force automatically silencing her voice... After several attempts, Chu Ling could only reluctantly give up, but her eyes brightened involuntarily.

Because this magical situation could only have one explanation.

She wasn't hallucinating, but had truly awakened some kind of magical power!!!

Just as Chu Ling's expression shifted from confusion to excitement, then to thoughtfulness... everyone in the ward witnessed the girl's strange behavior, all looking peculiar.

"Xiao Ling, are you alright? Why did you suddenly open your mouth and speak silently?"

"Are you feeling unwell? Maybe you should get re-examined!"

"That shouldn't be! This is stomach cancer, not brain cancer! Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't affect the brain, should it?"

"Is your throat uncomfortable? Is it a complication caused by stomach cancer?"

"I think a comprehensive check-up is needed! It's just your father, sigh..."

"..."

Facing the sincere concern of the doctors and nurses, Chu Ling, who had come back to her senses, felt both touched and a little embarrassed.

She quickly waved her hand and shook her head, indicating that she was fine and there was no need to worry.

At this moment, Lin Xuan also looked concerned and handed Chu Ling a business card.

"Hello! This is my business card, take it! If you need help, you can call me anytime!"

"As for my reason for helping you... well, you must have heard that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

"My wife's grandfather has been in a coma lately, which makes my wife unable to eat or sleep every day."

"So I thought I'd do more good deeds, accumulate good karma for the old man. I hope the old man can recover and be discharged soon, so my wife can also feel at ease as soon as possible..."

"..."

Hearing this, everyone present was filled with admiration, touched by Lin Xuan's deep affection.

He truly lives up to his reputation as the most devoted man in the Demon City!

Every single thing he does is for his wife... Such a devoted man is truly rare in the world!!!

The entire Demon City can no longer contain his deep affection; he should be promoted to the most devoted man in Huaxia ٩(๑＞◡＜๑)۶!!!

On the hospital bed, Chu Ling took the business card, her eyes full of envy and emotion.

Such a deeply devoted and handsome man perfectly matched her fantasy of a Prince Charming!

Which lucky girl would be so pampered by such an excellent man?!

...[What's going on? My poor Cousin seems a bit off.]

[Why did she suddenly act like an idiot just now, opening her mouth and shouting "ah ah ah"? | _・)]

[No hope! Her clear eyes reveal utter stupidity!]

[No wonder she'll be played for a fool in the future, ending up tragically spitting blood and dying...]

[Sigh, how tragic! She looks like an idiot! Oh, my poor Cousin~~~]

[But I've shown such deep affection! She shouldn't overestimate herself and harbor fantasies about me anymore, right?]

[Otherwise, it would be a bit troublesome?!]

...When the complaints rang out again, Chu Ling was almost 100% certain that these were Lin Xuan's inner thoughts.

However, the meaning of his words made her forehead twitch with black lines. ￣ □ ￣ ｜｜

What the hell?!

You're the one whose clear eyes reveal stupidity!

How dare you call me an idiot?!!

Hmph! Don't worry!

Ever since I heard you constantly complaining about me in your mind, my illusions about you were completely shattered... And can't you finish your sentences?!

What's with the tragic end of spitting blood and dying?! I really want to know!!! w(ﾟДﾟ)w

...Although countless little people were chattering in her mind, Chu Ling was actually quite excited.

After all, this was a legendary superpower!!!

And she also observed that the surrounding doctors and nurses all looked normal.

This meant that only she could hear Lin Xuan's inner thoughts, and this ability was exclusive to her.

"I wonder if I can hear other people's inner thoughts as well?"

"It's a pity that this ability is currently passive; if I could control it freely in the future and eavesdrop on others' inner thoughts at will, wouldn't I be completely invincible?"

"..."

Just as Chu Ling was lost in her chuunibyou fantasies!

The ward door was suddenly pushed open, and a man with a flat top haircut rushed in, yelling:

"The discharge procedures are done! Why aren't you, you dead girl, coming with me?!"

"Why are you still sitting on the bed? Get off the bed and come with me! Are you deaf? Your mom is still waiting for you to come home and do housework?!"

Seeing Chu Xiong rush in and immediately demand to take his seriously ill daughter away, without showing any concern for her condition.

Many medical staff were indignant, and accusations arose continuously.

"How can you be like this? Don't you see your daughter is seriously ill?"

"How heartless! How can you be such a parent? Don't you feel any pity for your own daughter?"

"Think carefully! This is not a joke! If your daughter is discharged now, it's chronic suicide!"

"Sigh, as a parent, how can you bear it? Anyone who didn't know would think this daughter of yours was picked up!"

"..."

Facing the accusations of the medical staff, Chu Xiong initially showed no change in expression, completely indifferent.

He wished Chu Ling would quickly become critically ill and die, because only then could his biological daughter truly rest easy...

But when he heard a medical staff member, by chance, question the father-daughter relationship between Chu Ling and him... his face suddenly changed, feeling guilty, and to cover his unnaturalness, he pretended to be furious...

"You scoundrels! This is my daughter, what right do you have to stop me from taking her away?"

"And the treatment cost is 300,000 yuan. I'm a farmer, how much money do I earn in a year? How could I possibly come up with 300,000 yuan?"

"No money means I can only take her out of the hospital! What? Are you saying the hospital can provide free treatment?"

"Or are you busybodies, one by one, all benevolent doctors, living saints, planning to pay for my daughter's medical expenses?"

"If you are willing to bear this money, then I can continue to let my daughter stay for treatment. How about it?"

"Such a good opportunity to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, which great saint will step forward?"

"..."

Chu Xiong looked arrogant, scanning the medical staff who had just accused him of being selfish, with a provocative gaze.

At this moment, the ward was silent~~~

Everyone's faces were grim, but they were powerless to refute.

After all, the hospital really couldn't provide free treatment!

And they were just ordinary people who needed to earn money to support their families, how could they come up with hundreds of thousands to help a patient treat cancer?!

Seeing this, Chu Xiong sneered, just about to mock them a few times...

"My Cousin Chu Ling and I are somewhat fated. If needed, I can be fully responsible for all her medical expenses!"

Hmm???

In the silent room, this sentence suddenly rang out, leaving Chu Xiong stunned in place, clearly never expecting that a sucker would actually appear...

He turned his head and found that the person who said this was the pretty boy he had met at the door not long ago.

"Pretty boy, do you know what you're saying? 300,000 isn't a small sum!"

"Excuse me! To me, 300,000 and 30 yuan are not much different; it really is a small sum."

Lin Xuan picked his ear, looking rich and willful.

At this time, the surrounding medical staff, as if sharing his honor, introduced Lin Xuan's noble identity in detail.

"You know nothing! Young Master Lin's identity is beyond your imagination..."

Two and a half minutes later, Chu Xiong's mouth hung open, utterly astonished.

He had never expected... Lin Xuan's background and identity to be so extraordinary... Such a prominent figure was simply from a different world than him.

Chu Xiong instinctively felt that he had suddenly shrunk a great deal.

In front of Lin Xuan, his original arrogant demeanor instantly diminished significantly, always feeling a sense of inferiority that made him unable to hold his head high.

But then he thought of his biological daughter living in a wealthy family, and he had to toughen up again.

Otherwise, with this person's meddling, Chu Ling might actually be cured by the doctors...

"Hmph! You busybody, who knows what evil intentions you harbor?"

"Throwing money around for good deeds for no reason? Do you think you're a living Buddha reincarnated? Who believes you! I certainly don't!"

"This is my daughter, and I make the decisions! Don't think you can set a trap to deceive me, you're all liars, I don't believe any of you!!!"

"..."

Chu Xiong began to be unreasonable, pushing aside the medical staff in front of him, coming to the bedside, and with a fierce expression, he grabbed Chu Ling's arm, dragging her off the bed.

Bang!!! (The sound of a body hitting the ground!)

"You dead girl, you're still feigning illness? Are you deaf that I told you to come with me immediately?"

"You good-for-nothing! I worked so hard to raise you, and you actually sow discord, ganging up with these liars to deal with your own father!!!"

"Hmph! You scoundrel, wait until we get home, I'll beat you to death!!!"

"..."

Under the man's brute force, the already weak Chu Ling was directly pulled off the hospital bed.

She let out a painful groan, her face contorted.

One hand clutched her stomach, repeatedly crying "pain," her eyes filled with despair.

Witnessing this scene firsthand, everyone in the room was furious.

A hot-blooded young doctor rushed forward, pushing Chu Xiong away, while the nurses beside them looked distressed, their eyes red, as they helped Chu Ling up from the ground.

"Can't you talk things out properly? Why resort to violence?"

"Your daughter has cancer! How can she withstand such harm from you?"

"Are you crazy? Don't you feel any pity for your own daughter? Do you even deserve to be a father?"

"It's truly incomprehensible! Young Master Lin already said he would cover all of Xiao Ling's medical expenses! This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you don't cherish it, and you even want to forcibly cut off your own daughter's hope of recovery?"

"Do you call yourself a father? Don't you know that if this child doesn't get treatment, if her condition worsens and the cancer cells spread, she might not even make it through this year!!!"

"Is this really your biological daughter? It feels like you have a vendetta against her? You don't want her to recover at all, you wish she would die?"

"..."

Facing the verbal condemnation from numerous medical staff, Chu Xiong stiffened his neck, showing no remorse on his face, remaining incredibly stubborn.

"What does it matter to you whether she lives or dies?"

"This good-for-nothing was born by me, I am her guardian, and I make all the decisions!"

"A parent's command is greater than heaven; even if I tell her to die, she has to! What's more, I'm only telling her to be discharged!!!"

"..."

What the hell?!

What an animalistic statement!!!

Wake up, the Qing Dynasty fell long ago, okay?!

Listening to Chu Xiong's utterly outrageous words, everyone present widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

As the saying goes: a daughter is a father's little cotton jacket.

Many men, when facing their daughters... would wish to give her the best things in the world, holding her in their hands for fear of dropping her, keeping her in their mouths for fear of melting her, pampering her like a little princess.

But this guy in front of them... was he even human anymore?!

Damn it, how can he even be called a father!!!
