In the capital in late autumn, the leaves and flowers withered, and the wind blew dust into the air. It was bleak and desolate.
Fu Sinian rubbed the black velvet box in his hand carefully with his fingertips, his eyes unreadable.
When the car arrived at Third Hospital, it encountered a small-scale traffic jam. This hospital had been planned in the city center a few years ago but had moved to the suburbs near the Software Garden instead. Because it was too far from the city center, there were not many people. But there were so many cars parked outsideâ¦
Shi Fang cursed in his heart.?Most likely, the news about Yu Manxi has leaked. No wonder Eldest Young Masterâs expression was so strange along the way.
âEldest Young Master, should we go through the back door orâ¦â
The front was full of reporters, and there were probably people at the back too. âWhy donât we go to the underground garage?â
Fu Sinian put the black velvet box away. âNo need. Letâs go through the front door.â
âThisâ¦â
These reporters are all carrying cameras, and theyâre definitely going to swallow him alive.
If he appears now, they will shoot him to death.
Fight head-on?
Does he have to be so fierce?
Fu Sinian didnât speak, so Shi Fang could only listen to him. But there were too many cars, so he drove very slowly and sent Fu Chen a message secretly.
At this moment, the wounds on Yu Manxiâs body had already been preliminarily treated. There were only a few external injuries. Her head was injured, and her back was bruised. She still had to undergo a comprehensive physical examination.
Fu Chen received the message and only took a glance without replying.
Shi Fang was surprised.?Third Master, something is f*cking going to happen outside. Why arenât you replying? Why donât you come out to stop it?
âStop the car here,â Fu Sinian suddenly said.
âAh? Okay.â Shi Fang immediately stepped on the brakes.
As soon as Fu Sinian got out of the car, he immediately chased after him.
At this moment, some of the reporters blocking the entrance had already seen him.
âEldest Young Master Fu is here!â Someone cried out in alarm.
There was already an uproar at the entrance of the hospital. But at this moment, it became even more chaotic. There had been an eyewitness who said that Fu Sinian had left quickly after sending Yu Manxi to the hospital.
So there were rumors that after arriving at the hospital, Fu Sinian found out that Yu Manxi had been defiled and abandoned her.
To a certain extent, it confirmed the rumors that Yu Manxi had been sexually assaulted.
Seeing him return, the reporters naturally went crazy.
Seeing him get out of the car, all the reporters carrying cameras were frantically squeezing forward.
Fu Sinian didnât have any bodyguards following him. He was alone and looked around at everyone, his face as cold as iceâ¦
âOh my god, heâs really here. I thought he ran awayâ¦ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI was still thinking that Fu Sinian must have abandoned Host Little Yu. He actually came back?â
âSo, whatâs the situation now? Did someone do that to Host Little Yu?â
â¦
He was still wearing his home clothes with a long thin coat wrapped around him. The autumn wind was blowing, making the corner of his shirt ruffle slightly.
âYoung Master Fu, may I ask if Miss Yu was really kidnapped? She wasâ¦â
Before this person could finish speaking, Fu Sinian suddenly looked at her.
His expression was cold and stern to the extreme, and his aura was exceptionally terrifying. Just his gaze seemed to freeze peopleâs blood completely.
He took a step forward, and the woman retreated in fright. Every step he took felt as though he was stepping on ice, and the people around him seemed to be able to hear the sound of ice shattering.
After all, Fu Sinian was the eldest grandson of the Fu family, so his aura was naturally not something ordinary people could withstand. There was an extremely frightening murderous aura on his face, and his gaze locked onto the female reporter who just spoke, his face darkâ¦
âWhat did you just say?â
His voice was low and deep. He had left home in a hurry and didnât wear his glasses. Compared to when everyone usually saw him, he looked more wild and aggressive. In the past, they had only thought that the eldest grandson of the Fu family was calm and reserved, mature and steady. Who had ever seen him like this?
The people swarming up just now all made way.
âIâ¦â The female reporter didnât expect Fu Sinian to come over like this, and her face paled.
âWhat did you just ask? What did you say happened to her?â
âYoung Master Fu, there are so many people here. Donât tell me you want to hit someone,â a male cameraman said.
He didnât look like he wanted to hit someone. He clearly wanted to eat someone.
âHow can you calm down when rumors are being spread about your girlfriend like this?â Fu Sinian asked rhetorically.
The man was speechless and looked helpless.
âShe did have an accident, but she only suffered some minor injuries and was sent to the hospital for treatment. Instead of her injuries, why is it that the first thing youâre concerned about is whether she was sexually assaulted?
âDo you think she hasnât been hurt enough?
âOr does digging into a woman who was sexually assaulted give you a sense of achievement?â
Fu Sinian spoke slowly, enunciating every word as he questioned the people in front of him.
âNow, there are rumors all over the internet saying that sheâs unclean. I saved her personally. I know better than you what happened!
âI donât know what the person behind the rumors is up to, but they just want to ruin her.
âThere are a lot of female reporters present. I want to ask you, is it so exciting for you to say that a woman has been humiliated and dig up her privacy?
âWhy are you all surrounding me now? What do you want to say, and what do you want me to say? What exactly are you trying to dig up by blocking here?â
â¦
Fu Sinian enunciated every word clearly as he looked coldly at the group of people opposite him.
âI know some of you will say that if she wasnât sexually assaulted, what evidence do you have?
âWhat do you want me to take out? When she wakes up, do you want me to tell her that the people outside are saying that youâre not chaste and that you need to do an inspection? Do you want to publicize the inspection report?
âMaybe when we present the so-called evidence, there will be people questioning if the report is false.
âSheâs already frightened after encountering this kind of thing. But at a time like this, you still want to open her wound bit by bit and sprinkle salt onto it. Could it be that youâll only be satisfied after completely destroying her?â
Fu Sinianâs stern rebuke rendered the reporters speechless.
What he said wasnât wrong. This matter was completely one where everyone had their own opinions about what the truth was. No matter what they did, it was wrong. If you believed it, you would believe it. If you didnât believe it, you wouldnât believe it no matter what.
âOr perhaps when you force her into a corner, will you feel better?
âI will say this in front of all the reporters and media today.
âShe is indeed a public figure. But at the same time, she is also a victim. Some unscrupulous media outlets have reported false news and even wantonly slander someone. I will sue them all. You can wait to go back and collect your legal subpoenas.
âI donât want to say anything else, butâ¦â
Fu Sinian stopped for a moment. âI wonât let off anyone who bullies her!â
His words were already a disguised warning.
There was a brief, eerie silence in the crowd.
âLastly, everyone, put yourself in her shoes. I donât expect you to pity her or sympathize with her plight. I only hope that you can give her some space.
âThank you.â After Fu Sinian finished speaking, he strode into the hospital.
The crowd automatically parted to make a path.
Shi Fang followed closely behind him.
F*ck, isnât Eldest Young Master a little too awesome today? He directly made these reporters speechless.
Nowadays, some media outlets were really shameless. They only thought about how to get views and didnât care about the people involved at all.
Seriouslyâ¦
Whose heart wouldnât ache?
The reporters at the entrance looked at each other in dismay. Fu Sinianâs words were already circulating online. Everyone sighed and no longer commented or forwarded various news about Yu Manxi.
Some news media or Weibo verified accounts had already quietly deleted news about Yu Manxi. This matter spread quickly on the internet, and the popularity also faded quickly.
Everyone could only sighâ¦
Fu Sinian really loved her.
He was too manly to stand out and publicly protect her at a time like this.
***
At this moment, Yu Manxi had already woken up because her back hurt too much to lie down. She was sitting on the bed with gauze wrapped around her head. Sitting beside the bed, Song Fengwan poured a glass of water for her and inserted a straw to let her drink some water.
After being covered with tape for so long, her lips were dry and bleeding, and even talking was a little difficult.
Her throat was even more dry.
âSi⦠nian?â
âHeâs helping you handle your hospitalization. Heâll be back soon,â Fu Chen replied.
Yu Manxi nodded.
A few minutes later, Fu Sinian pushed the door open and entered. Yu Manxi had no idea that so many things had happened outside. At this moment, she only knew that after this incidentâ¦
She was willing to sacrifice her life for this man.
Becauseâ¦
No one had ever cared so much about her.
âBig Sister Yu, you two chat first. Iâll go out.â Song Fengwan was very tactful.
âThank you, Uncle Qiao and Mr. Qiao. I made you two come.â When Yu Manxi woke up, she was a little surprised to see the Qiao family.
âHave a good rest,â Qiao Wangbei said and followed her out. Fu Chen had already received the news outside.
The reporters had all left, and all the news online had been deleted. After Duan Linbai used some tricks, the internet was already very clean.
âYou talk. Iâll go out first.â
The whole thing came to an end, and Fu Chen walked outâ¦
Fu Sinian walked to the bed. His fingers were in his pocket, rubbing the black velvet box. He suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.
âDonât stand there. My neck hurts from looking up.â Yu Manxi was holding her arm up with an IV bag attached, and he was standing beside her bed.
Fu Sinian nodded and sat down beside her. âHow do you feel?â
âIt hurts. Iâm really unlucky. I didnât expect to encounter such a pervert.â When Yu Manxi thought of what had just happened, she still felt a lingering fear.
âIâll pick you up from work in the future.â When they first started dating, Fu Sinian would pick her up every day. But their schedules were different, and Yu Manxiâs heart ached for him running back and forth like this, so she declined him later.
No one had expected an accident.
At this moment, Fu Sinianâs phone vibrated. It was Dai Yunqing calling.
âItâs my mom. Sheâs worried about you. You can talk to her too.â Fu Sinian answered the call and turned on the speakerphone. He then turned around to pour some hot water for her.
âHello, Sinian. Howâs Little Yu? Is she alright? Iâm already at the airport, and Iâm boarding in an hour. Itâll probably be midnight by the time I arrive in the capitalâ¦â Dai Yunqingâs tone was a little quick. She seemed very anxious.
âAuntie, itâs Little Yu. Iâm fine. You donât have to come here.â
âLittle Yu⦠Itâs alright. Iâve already bought the plane ticket. Itâs good that youâre fineâ¦â
Yu Manxi knew that after something had happened to her, perhaps the news had already spread. But no one from the He family came. They were probably avoiding her like the plague. In comparison, Fu Sinianâs mother was especially rushing back from out of townâ¦
The two of them chatted for a while. Fu Sinian pointed outside and motioned that he was going out to buy some toiletries for her. It was already completely dark at this moment, so it would be too troublesome to go home and get them.
Yu Manxi nodded.
Fu Chen wasnât outside, but Shi Fang was left behind, squatting outside the ward and playing with his phone.
âGo in and wait.â Fu Sinian knew very well that Fu Chen had probably asked him to stay behind and guard her.
âOkay.â Shi Fang pushed the door open and entered. After greeting Yu Manxi, he found a corner and squatted down, trying his best to reduce his presence.
After Yu Manxi ended the call with Dai Yunqing, she noticed that Fu Sinianâs phone kept vibrating. The group chat kept sending messages.
Little White Dragon in the Waves: [F*ck, is Eldest Nephew really proposing?]
Third Uncle: [How do you know?]
[He bought the diamond ring at my familyâs mall, and the manager told me. F*ck, is it true? He will be the earliest to get married among us, right? When he said that Fu Sinian bought a diamond ring, I didnât believe him at first.]
[Third Fu, as an uncle, you should prepare a red packet.]
[F*ck, I really want to watch the proposal. Is there anyone else there? This isnât f*cking acting. Heâs really proposing! Iâm still supervising the demolition in the new district. Is there anyone who can stream it for me? I really want to watch itâ¦]
â¦
Yu Manxi stared at her phone.?Fu Sinian went out just now to buy a diamond ringâ¦
Her heart was pounding, and she suddenly became nervous for no reason.
