Chapter 299: Chapter 299 - Who Did This to You?

Apart from Zuo Hongchen, the leaders of the hospital had come over to check on her before getting off work, and so did the director of her department. They even asked her if she would like a day off.

Su Qingsang felt highly awkward being the subject of such strong concern, so she got out of work early.

She went back home. Huo Jinyao wasn’t home yet.

Xiang Caiping was happy to meet Shi Mengwan. Her daughter had a wonderful husband and a great friend. She was especially friendly to Shi Mengwan.

Huo Jinyao needed to work late again. Recently, he had work dinners from time to time, and Su Qingsang had gotten used to that. She didn’t know what he was busy with.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The three women were comfortable together. Shi Mengwan found that Xiang Caiping was a nice person. She could tell that the latter sincerely loved her daughter.

After dinner, Xiang Caiping went back into the kitchen to do the cleaning. Shi Mengwan patted Su Qingsang on the back of her hand and said, “I’ve checked. She’s clear.”

“Enough. Can you tell that through just one dinner?”

“I sure can. People’s eyes don’t lie.” She believed that Xiang Caiping was either Su Qingsang’s mother, or was very good at pretending to be her mother.

Shi Mengwan had met many people in the past few years. She, of course, could tell that Xiang Caiping wasn’t faking. She sincerely wanted to be nice to Su Qingsang.

“I feel the same.” After spending a few days with Xiang Caiping, Su Qingsang understood her better and better.

It wouldn’t take her too long to start calling her ‘Mom’. That would happen sooner or later anyway.

Huo Jinyao didn’t find the bruise on Su Qingsang’s stomach until she took a shower at night.

She had applied some medicine on it, but it was still there, prominent on her skin. Huo Jinyao knitted his brows into a deep frown.

“Please do not tell me that this was caused by an accident,” he glanced at Su Qingsang.

Huo Jinyao had had his crazy days. He surely could tell that the bruise was caused by a heavy punch.

“I was going to tell you that I bruised myself against my desk.” It was only a small injury in Su Qingsang’s eyes. She didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.

She didn’t mention it earlier because she didn’t want Xiang Caiping to worry.

“Who did this to you?” Huo Jinyao was in no mood for joking. The look in his eyes was a little cold.

Su Qingsang found his reaction both funny and annoying. “What do you plan on doing? If I told you who did this to me, would you hit them back?”

“So you were attacked,” Huo Jinyao nodded, staring at that large bruise. “Tell me, who did it?”

“Stop. I’m fine.” Su Qingsang dropped her head and glanced at the bruise. It hadn’t faded yet. She had snow-white skin, so that large bruise did look a little scary.

“I’m really fine. I’ve applied some medicine. It’s already a lot better than before. I’m okay now. Don’t overreact.”

“Did I overreact?” Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes. “You first tell me who did it, then I’ll stop overreacting.”

“I am really, really fine,” Su Qingsang felt a little helpless. She briefly told him about Liu Xiangyu.

“I was unlucky. I was right there, and I was his attending doctor. Don’t worry. He’s already at the police station. We’re fine now.”

Really? What popped up in Huo Jinyao’s mind was another thing.

“Did he come straight at you, or...”

Did he try to attack other people too?

Su Qingsang, on hearing that, also started feeling that something was not quite right. The place was crowded, and the scene was chaotic. She didn’t know if he was targeting her since the beginning, or if he attacked her for some other reason.

“I think it was a coincidence. I’m not his enemy. What reason could he possibly have to attack me deliberately?”
