I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot Chapter 299 Blocked Outside the Door

299 Blocked Outside the Door

Wen Xu’s expression stiffened, but he didn’t say anything.

Sang Qianqian was unhappy. “Brother, what are you saying? When did he pretend to be injured? When did he ever pretend to be injured?”

“Ask him. When he was younger, I wanted to apply medicine for him many times, but he was always unwilling. He only wanted to wait until you came back.”

Sang Minglang said, “If you didn’t come back, he would be just fine. However, the moment you come back, his tiny injuries could turn into light injuries, and light injuries could turn into serious injuries. He would even want you to feed him.”

“An injury is still an injury. How is he pretending?”

Sang Qianqian argued, ” brother, you’re just biased against Wen Xu. ”

Sang Minglang nodded, “Alright, whatever you say. Anyway, whenever meeting Wen Xu, even I, your brother, have to stand aside. I’m used to it at this point.”

Fortunately, he was a mature and non-jealous brother all these years. Otherwise, Wen Xu would have been jealous to death.

Wen Xu’s lips curved into a smile. He smiled very happily. “Brother Minglang, it’s good that you know.”

Looking at his provocative smile, Sang Minglang felt an inexplicable urge to give him a good beating.

He suddenly recalled that many years ago, Wen Xu had once been injured and pretended to have not recovered. After his lie was exposed, not only did Sang Qianqian not believe him, she even stood on Wen Xu’s side. Wen Xu also had this smug and annoying smile on his face —

At that time, Wen Xu was only a teenager. He was already injured in a fight with Wen Hao, but Wen Hao was the one who complained about him first. He was beaten up by his father, and his body was covered in wounds. His clothes were soaked in blood.

When he came to the Sang family, Sang Qianqian had gone shopping with her cla.s.smates and had not returned. Sang Minglang hurriedly sent him to the hospital.

That injury made Sang Minglang’s heart palpitate. When he was sewing up the wound, Wen Xu was expressionless the entire time, as if the one who was injured was not him but someone else.

That made Sang Minglang look at Wen Xu in a new light.

In the end, the change in his att.i.tude did not last for more than two hours. When he returned to the Sang family and saw Sang Qianqian, this fellow immediately changed.

Wen Xu’s eyes turned red after he called her sister.

Sang Qianqian’s heart ached so much that she asked him if he was in pain. He nodded his head in grievance, looking as pitiful as he could be.

Sang Minglang was left tongue-tied.

That night, it was indeed Sang Qianqian who fed Wen Xu. As his st.i.tches were on his right hand and his left hand was old and worn, Sang Qianqian could not bear to see him like this. She held him down and did not let him move, forcing him to eat.

Afraid that Wen Xu would get beaten up again, Sang Qianqian insisted on letting him stay at the house. She even indignantly asked Sang Pengcheng to negotiate with Wen Xu’s father on why he had to beat Wen Xu up.

Sang Pengcheng went to the Wen family and had a good chat with Wen Gong about the education of their children.

When he returned that night, he called Sang Minglang along because he was worried about Wen Xu.

He saw Wen Xu leaning on the bed, his hands moving around freely as he played a game…

The Wen family later sent someone to pick up Wen Xu, but Sang Qianqian refused and insisted on letting him return after he had recovered.

As a result, Wen Xu stayed in the Sang family for three months. No matter who asked about his injury, it was still very painful and had not recovered.

One day, Han Tianyi came over to their house. They were having a barbecue in the back garden. Han Tianyi, that idiot, insisted on playing basketball so that he could show off his basketball skills in front of Qianqian.

In the end, he was not careful and the ball almost hit Sang Qianqian. Wen Xu was faster than Sang Minglang and smacked the ball away. From then on, his lie that his hand hurt was exposed…

Of course, Sang Qianqian refused to believe that Wen Xu was pretending that his hand had not recovered.

This silly sister was certain that Wen Xu blocked the ball out of concern for her. Worried that his injury would worsen, she kept Wen Xu in her room for half a month to make sure that he was really fine before letting him go home.

The most direct impact this incident had on Sang Minglang was when he saw Wen Xu’s injuries later on and saw him grimacing in pain, his first reaction was suspicion.

His trust in him had completely disappeared.

The few of them were talking.

Someone gently knocked on the door, and the three of them turned around at the same time. It was Yun Li, who appeared at the door with a fruit basket.

“You’ve arrived so quickly?”

Sang Qianqian quickly stood up and took out a few medical books from her bag. “I’ve picked out a few more basic books for you. If it’s not enough, you can tell me.”

This morning, Yun Li had called to say that she was going to interview a famous figure in the medical field and wanted to borrow a few professional books from Sang Qianqian to gain a deeper understanding of the industry in advance.

Initially, Sang Qianqian had intended to send the book to her workplace, but Yun Li was anxious and said that she would pick it up directly at the hospital. Thus, Sang Qianqian had brought the book to the hospital.

Yun Li put down the fruit basket and took the book, her voice a little hoa.r.s.e. “Thank you, Qianqian.”

“Did you not sleep well last night?”

Sang Qianqian asked with concern, “Why do you have such dark circles?”

“I’ve been cramming up on relevant background knowledge last night just for this interview.”

Yun Li forced a smile. “I’ll be able to have a good sleep after I’m done with work.”

“You should pay more attention to your health. Take it easy at work.”

Sang Qianqian reminded her. Sometimes, when Yun Li was working, she would work very hard, forgetting her health.

Yun Li nodded and greeted Sang Minglang, then inadvertently glanced at Wen Xu. Wen Xu was expressionless, his eyes looking straight ahead.

“What’s wrong with you two? Weren’t you quite talkative in the past?”

Sang Qianqian was slightly surprised. In the past, they would always get into a fight whenever they met. Today, it was so quiet that she was not used to it.

Yun Li held the books and hesitated for a while before saying, “Well, Wen Xu, didn’t you work at Youying Video Group before? I have a few questions I want to ask you. Can you go outside with me?”

“Don’t you have Rong Ce’s phone number? It’s more convenient to contact him yourself,” Wen Xu said lightly.

“You’re right in front of me, so there’s no need to make a phone call.”

Sang Qianqian pushed him away. “Yun Li wants you to go, so hurry up and go.”

Wen Xu unwillingly got up and followed Yun Li out of the door.

The two of them didn’t speak along the way.

Wen Xu accompanied her out of the hospital building and stopped in his tracks. “What’s the problem?”

Of course, Yun Li didn’t really have a question to ask him.

Even coming to the hospital to get Sang Qianqian’s book was just an excuse.

She wanted to say something but stopped. After struggling for a while, she said in a very soft voice, “I’m sorry about last night. Back then, I… I was too emotional and spoke without thinking…”

After Wen Xu left last night, she didn’t sleep much. She tossed and turned as she recalled the scene of her quarrel with him.

The more she thought about it, the calmer she became, and the more she calmed down, the more she regretted it. So, after thinking about it, she decided to apologize.

In fact, she was the kind of person who would not admit defeat even if she knew she was wrong in her heart.

It was very rare for her to take the initiative to apologize, but she still apologized to Wen Xu.

Wen Xu looked at her and didn’t say anything. No one could tell what kind of emotion he was feeling.

“When are you returning to Ming City?” Yun Li mustered up her courage and asked.

“When Brother Minglang is discharged, I’ll leave the next morning,” Wen Xu said lightly.

“Then, I’ll look for you after work on the day he’s discharged.”

Yun Li didn’t dare to look at Wen Xu. “I have something to give you.”

Wen Xu stared at her for a while. “Okay.”

—

Days pa.s.sed, and Sang Minglang’s dischargement quickly arrived.

Shen Hanyu arrived at the Sang family’s house as promised, but was stopped at the door as expected.
