Liu Ning was clearly infuriated by her words again, but was also wary of her "force". After hesitating for a few seconds, she said, "What do you know?"
"Do you know how lucky you were to marry into the Qi family back then? The few years you spent in the Qi family were something that many people couldn't even dream of in their whole lives."
"Moreover, what are you being so high - minded about now? Wasn't it your father who tried his best to arrange this marriage back then?"
Liu Ning showed a sarcastic look on her face and scrutinized Xu Tingyu from head to toe with a very critical gaze.
From the very beginning, she didn't like Xu Tingyu. She thought she was too charming and didn't meet her requirements for a gentle and elegant young lady at all.
A person like this marrying into the family was bound to cause trouble at home.
Unfortunately, the old master liked her back then and insisted that she had a good complexion.
It was also thanks to the Xu family's decent family fortune back then. Otherwise, how could such a good thing have fallen to her?
Xu Tingyu didn't want to have this meaningless argument anymore.
She just looked at the other person impatiently and said, "What exactly do you want to say? I don't have time to reminisce about the past with you."
Liu Ning originally wanted to seize on past events to humiliate Xu Tingyu severely.
But now, hearing her words, she was taken aback and felt embarrassed again.
Just then, Qi Shifeng, who had been pushed for an examination, rushed back.
As soon as Liu Ning arrived, someone went to inform him.
But unfortunately, he was in the examination room at that time, and the examination was only halfway through. No one else could go in.
When he came out of the examination room, the bodyguard stepped forward and told him that Liu Ning had come and there had even been a fight in the ward.
Qi Shifeng's face darkened immediately, and he rushed back directly.
He originally thought he would see a chaotic scene when he got back.
But unexpectedly, the ward was eerily quiet.
Xu Tingyu was lying on the hospital bed, looking calm.
Liu Ning's hair was a bit messy, her face was a pale - greenish color, and there was a cold glint in her eyes.
In the corner, Chen Yan was sitting there with messy hair, still looking confused.
Qi Shifeng's face was so gloomy that it seemed he could eat someone. He looked at Liu Ning immediately and asked, "What are you doing here?"
He had specifically told people that if anyone from the old mansion came, they were not to be seen.
Especially, they were not allowed to see Xu Tingyu.
But unexpectedly, Liu Ning had brought her own people here aggressively.
The bodyguards knew her relationship with Qi Shifeng and didn't dare to really confront her head - on, which was why she took advantage of the loophole and broke in.
"I couldn't not come when you were so badly injured. Tell me, is it because of her that you got injured?"
As soon as Liu Ning saw Qi Shifeng, the cold glint in her eyes turned into a bit of concern.
She might not love her own child that much, but it didn't mean he could get injured for someone else.
Qi Shifeng showed a sneering smile and said, "This isn't the first time I've been injured like this in the past few years. How come I didn't see you come to care then?"
He had indeed been in car accidents more than once. Even when the driver died in one of the accidents, Liu Ning didn't show up.
At that time, she was on vacation abroad. After receiving the notice, she just called Jiang Li and said some unimportant things.
Qi Shifeng had just stopped expecting in the years, not thinking that there was nothing wrong with it.
Liu Ning was stunned by the question, and her face looked even uglier.
After a moment, she spoke again, but abruptly changed the topic.
"I'm not here to quarrel or dig up old grudges today. I'm here on behalf of the old master."
"The Qi family will never allow you two to get back together. If you insist on getting entangled, then the old master and I will never stand idly by."
When Liu Ning mentioned the old master, she straightened her back a lot.
Everyone in the Qi family knew that no one could go against the old master.
Although he had now retired to the second line, it didn't mean he couldn't do anything.
If someone really went against him, the outcome was obvious.
Qi Shifeng's face didn't look good, but he remained expressionless and said, "Do whatever you want. Now, please leave."
He couldn't say harsh words to his own mother.
But his cold reaction had already dealt a heavy blow to the other person.
Liu Ning gritted her teeth and said, "The old master has arranged a marriage for you. He's invited you home for dinner this Saturday. You figure it out."
After saying that, she glared at Xu Tingyu fiercely and then left.
Xu Tingyu heard their whole conversation and thought it was absurd and ridiculous.
As soon as Liu Ning left, Qi Shifeng followed her out and scolded the bodyguards.
Through the door, Xu Tingyu only heard him say, "You can't even guard the door well. You let anyone in. What's the use of you?"
For some reason, she felt that this remark was not only aimed at Liu Ning but also at Chen Yan.
So she subconsciously glanced at Chen Yan.
Coincidentally, Chen Yan was also looking in her direction.
Their eyes met, and Chen Yan smiled first.
"It seems I'm also a fish that slipped through the net."
Xu Tingyu couldn't figure out his thoughts, but Qi Shifeng definitely minded his presence.
After all, the person who knows you best is often your opponent.
He and Qi Shifeng were opponents without a single blow.
But Xu Tingyu ignored this teasing and said, "I think you'd better go back to the hotel to sleep. You can't sleep well here."
Liu Ning had come, and God knows who else would come later.
In any case, it was probably impossible to have a peaceful time.
But Chen Yan still refused. "That's exactly why I can't leave. If something really happens, you need someone to back you up."
Someone to back her up.
Hearing these words, Xu Tingyu felt a warm feeling in her heart.
Just as Chen Yan finished speaking, Qi Shifeng was pushed back in and happened to hear this sentence.
"Mr. Chen, she has someone to back her up. You don't need to worry about it."
He went straight to Xu Tingyu's hospital bed and blocked her in front of him in an absolutely domineering posture, cutting off Chen Yan's sight.
However, Chen Yan wasn't angry. Instead, he leaned back and laughed recklessly. "Really? How come I didn't see anyone backing her up?"
A head - on confrontation didn't need to be with extremely intense words.
Just a provocative look was enough to make the atmosphere tense.
Xu Tingyu had just had a fight. Although it was a one - sided victory, she still felt quite tired. So she said to Qi Shifeng, "Go back to your own ward."
She had heard Liu Ning's last words just now, and she couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable.
She even looked at Qi Shifeng with a bit of dislike.
She didn't know how many people he had met in these four years.
Did he also tease them like he did to her back then, saying, "Are you the poor little thing the old master arranged for me to marry?"
Qi Shifeng suddenly turned around, which pulled at his wound and made him let out a muffled groan.
But he didn't care about this. He just looked at Xu Tingyu in shock, as if he couldn't believe that she was driving him away.
She was driving him away but keeping Chen Yan here to sleep.
What was she thinking?
In such a small ward, for a single man and a single woman to be in the same room, what would it look like?
He was incredibly angry and forgot that there had also been only the two of them when he had stayed here at night.
