Chapter 162
Chapter 162
Qin Zhao's mind was still in shock when he heard Ji Fei's resentful voice again.
[Damn, so it wasn't guilt towards Sun Man, but helplessness and fear about not being able to get money to pay off debts in time.]
With this, Qin Zhao finally understood.
It turned out that Lang Zhe had not given up and was still targeting Sun Man. Since the proposal failed, he switched to blackmail?
So those photos were actively sent out by Lang Zhe... He might have made even worse threats, which led to Sun Man being so frightened that she paid to avoid disaster, only to end up losing the money as well.
This beastly behavior made Qin Zhao want to rush forward and punch him. His eyes were practically shooting daggers at Lang Zhe.
But Lang Zhe was completely oblivious, his gaze blank as if he wasn't even there.
"What exactly happened?" Pei Mingxuan directly asked Lu Fei.
Lu Fei sighed and looked worriedly at Sun Man on the bed, saying: "We're not sure either. We only know that she didn't show up for rehearsal time. When we contacted her mother, we heard something had happened, so we rushed over."
"When we asked her mother and uncle, they claimed to know nothing, but they were acting suspiciously. I suspect Sun Man's incident has something to do with them," Lu Fei said disdainfully.
Pei Mingxuan sighed, "She was such a strong girl. What could have happened to make her feel so hopeless?"
As this conversation unfolded, the dazed Lang Zhe finally showed some reaction, looking at the unconscious Sun Man with an extremely poor expression.
[Damn, I can't stand it anymore. What kind of look is that? Blame? Blaming Sun Man for having low tolerance? Upset that her suicide attempt is delaying his debt repayment progress?]
Ji Fei was practically fuming with rage.
Before Ji Fei could think of a way to deal with him, Qin Zhao suddenly took a few steps forward to Lang Zhe's side, as if he was going to greet him.
But then he stumbled, taking a fall on flat ground. To keep his balance, Qin Zhao instinctively reached out his hand to steady himself, and Lang Zhe, who was sitting in the chair, was unexpectedly pushed over.
With a cry of pain, Lang Zhe tumbled from the chair, his body slamming hard against the nearby wall. The commotion was quite significant, startling everyone.
Lang Zhe was seen grimacing in pain, his wrist swelling rapidly.
"Are you alright?" Qin Zhao anxiously went to help him up, grabbing his wrist, which only added to the torment. The pain made Lang Zhe howl again, his face turning red. He had no energy to think about anything else, only feeling the pain. He had rarely suffered like this in his life.
This chaotic scene left everyone stunned. When they came to their senses, Lu Fei and Pei Mingxuan rushed forward to check the situation.
"You..." Pei Mingxuan was too surprised to speak. How could such an unlucky accident happen to Qin Zhao? It seemed too coincidental.
If they didn't have a history free of grudges, she would have suspected Qin Zhao did it on purpose.
Lu Fei naturally felt sorry for her son, but she couldn't imagine Qin Zhao would do this intentionally. She had been focused on talking to Pei Mingxuan and hadn't noticed their side. Otherwise, with her abilities, she should have been able to see through Qin Zhao's act. At this point, she could only chalk it up to bad luck.
Only Ji Fei realized what had happened and nearly burst out laughing, silently giving Qin Zhao a thumbs up in her mind.
Whether it was a freak accident or not, as long as it made that beast suffer, it was fine by her.
Qin Zhao was naturally gloating inside as well. After hearing Ji Fei's thoughts, he simply couldn't resist and had to pull this move, giving Lang Zhe a taste of righteous iron fist, considering it as interest paid.
In the end, Qin Zhao, of course, kindly called for a doctor to treat Lang Zhe's injury.
After all the commotion, Sun's Mother and Sun's Uncle also came in, trying to get everyone to leave. They were probably afraid that when Sun Man woke up, some things would be exposed, and they still had their reputation to consider.
But just then, Sun Man woke up.
She opened her eyes hazily. Pei Mingxuan noticed first and quickly went forward, asking, "Sun Man? Are you feeling better?"
Lu Fei also crowded around worriedly.
Sun Man was confused for a moment, then saw her mother and uncle squeezing in, mouthing words of concern and reproach, but their eyes couldn't meet Sun Man's gaze.
"You silly girl, how could you be so thoughtless to do such a thing? If you were gone, how could I go on living?"
"That's right, Sun Man, you need to reflect on this. We're all family, what's the big deal?"
Sun Man seemed to finally remember, her pupils constricting, her eyes gradually filling with bloodshot. She almost viciously sat up, staring hard at her two closest relatives.
The hatred in her eyes was clear even to Qin Zhao standing nearby.
In his ear was Ji Fei's sigh.
[It seems that compared to being blackmailed, the people Sun Man hates more now are actually these two relatives. Think about it, it makes sense. She doesn't know who's behind the blackmail, although she might guess where the photos leaked from, but she couldn't possibly imagine that the person blackmailing her is actually Lang Zhe.]
[She only knows that when she was desperate and helpless, too afraid to seek help from the police, only daring to turn to her family, her family gave her the most fatal blow. That kind of betrayal is truly soul-crushing. How could she not hate them? How could she not despair? It's understandable that she might have acted rashly in the moment, but now... she probably won't anymore.]
They had probably never seen Sun Man look at them with such eyes before.
Sun's Mother and Sun's Uncle became cowardly at this moment.
Sun's Mother tried to reach out to hold Sun Man, but Sun Man grabbed something from the bedside table and threw it at her mother and uncle without hesitation.
"I don't have relatives like you. What family? Have you ever treated me as family? You only see me as a money tree, you just want to suck my blood!"
Sun's Mother and Uncle scrambled to dodge, but still got hit.
Seeing the large bump on her brother's head, Sun's Mother immediately scolded, "How could you throw things at your uncle!"
Aliali: 67413bd3c4f3f33ac4135f05"Mom, I almost died," Sun Man said painfully.
"That's because you were foolish enough to attempt suicide. Trying to end your life over money, I never knew you were so obsessed with money before," Sun's Mother said disapprovingly.
Even now, they still thought Sun Man had only attempted suicide after discovering the money transfer.
Sun Man's expression became completely blank.
Ji Fei worried that she might be triggered again and was about to speak when she saw Sun Man's expression gradually turn cold. With a self-mocking smile, she said, "Indeed, I was foolish and did something stupid."
Though her whole body was trembling, Sun Man spoke word by word: "Now that I'm awake, I'm telling you that I will take back every penny you took from me! I won't compromise anymore, just you wait! If you don't return it, I'll report you to the police and sue you."
With these words, the hospital room fell silent.
"You... you ungrateful child! If you dare do that, I'll disown you as my daughter!"
But this kind of threat could no longer control Sun Man, after all, she had already died once.
"Then you can write up a statement severing our relationship. I'll definitely sign it," Sun Man said expressionlessly.
