As Lin Wei spoke, Kang Wei’s panicked heart finally settled down.

Their plan was well thought out, but even Zhao Ping wouldn’t have imagined that Lin Wei and Mei Shu had actually met before.

The group went to the hospital together.

Upon entering the ward, Lin Wei immediately spotted Li Zhen lying pale on the hospital bed.

She hurried over, grabbed Li Zhen’s hand, and anxiously asked, “Alt Zhen, how are you feeling now? Does it still hurt?”

Li Zhen casually glanced at the others standing at the door and forced a smile, “Grandma, I’m fine. Don’t worry. Why did Aunt Zhao come too?”

“Your Aunt Zhao came to visit your uncle at home and happened to hear about your situation. She was worried, so she came along to see you,” Lin Wei explained softly for them.

Only then did Zhao Ping’s mother enter, her face full of pity as she said, “Poor child, how did you get hurt so badly? It’s all because of Zhao Ping’s mischievous behavior. Auntie will compensate you this time. Don’t be mad at this rascal. I’ll teach him a lesson later to let out my anger!”

Li Zhen shook his head helplessly, “Auntie, after so many years of knowing Zhao Ping, can I still argue with him?”

Kang Wei timidly hid behind Zhao Ping. Only when Li Zhen’s gaze turned towards him did he reluctantly step forward and mumble, “Alt Zhen, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for you to get hurt like this. Please don’t be mad. I’ll cover the medical expenses!”

Li Zhen still shook his head, “No need. It’s not all your fault.”

Lin Wei wiped her tears and smiled. “Isn’t it all clear now? You kids are always playing together. Can you really have a falling out over a girl?”

At this point, Li Zhen glanced towards the door again.

Li Si quickly said, “She went out to take a call. I don’t know if she’ll come back.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Wei felt uncomfortable and couldn’t help but sneer, “Did she leave early because she knew I was coming? She’d better not let me catch her!”

Li Zhen quickly grabbed her hand and said, “Grandma, forget it. It’s all my fault this time, not anyone else’s business.”

“You’re still speaking up for her? Let me ask you, do you really like her?” Lin Wei asked sternly.

Li Zhen blushed and hurriedly looked away, “Grandma, don’t say such things randomly. How could I like her? She’s just… she’s just not someone I would like.”

He meant that Mei Shu was Lu Si’s girlfriend, and he wouldn’t stoop so low as to interfere in someone else’s relationship.

But Lin Wei didn’t know that he was referring to Mei Shu and thought that Li Zhen looked down on the girl’s status. She smiled satisfactorily, “That’s good. When you graduate from college, Grandma will introduce you to a better girlfriend. She’ll definitely be a hundred times better than that little wench!”

Although the Li family was not wealthy, they were still a middle-class family. It wouldn’t be difficult to find a smart and beautiful girl. Anyone they found would be better than the little wench who loved to flirt around.

Li Zhen furrowed his brows slightly and subconsciously retorted, “Grandma, don’t say that about her.”

Lin Wei became anxious, “Oh, come on, are you taking her side now? Let me tell you, I’ve heard everything from Zhao Ping about what happened today. Grandma doesn’t want to interfere with your personal feelings, but she still wants to remind you, don’t degrade yourself by liking those materialistic girls you see on the internet! They’re the kind of people who flock to rich men!”

Li Zhen’s expression turned slightly angry, “Grandma, she’s not that kind of person. Haven’t you met her before?”

Lin Wei found it strange, about to say something, but was quickly interrupted by Zhao Ping.

“Grandma Lin, have you forgotten how we discussed this before you came?” He desperately gestured to Lin Wei, trying to remind her of her previous instructions.

If these two kept talking, Zhao Ping’s lie would be exposed on the spot!

Lin Wei suddenly realized, “Okay, I won’t say anything. I’m just here to see how well you’re recovering. If you’re okay, then I’ll feel relieved.”

Li Zhen sighed, “Grandma, I’m really okay. You should go back and rest. Brother Li Si is here, and later, the nurse he hired will come.”

Lin Wei tucked him in, shaking her head, “Grandma will stay with you until you finish your meal.”

Behind her, Zhao Ping secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could catch his breath, he inexplicably felt a sharp and cold gaze.

He suddenly raised his head, meeting Li Zhen’s deep and unreadable eyes. Instantly feeling guilty, he quickly lowered his head again.

The tension in Lin Wei’s heart suddenly eased, and she became more talkative. “Alt Zhen, you must never be so impulsive again. How can you have a falling out with your good friends over a woman?”

“If you’re fighting for a decent girl, then it’s understandable. But to fight over that kind of person? Grandma forgives you this time, but in the future, stay away from those dubious people!”
