Hearing Xu Tingyu's words, Qi Ruixi couldn't help but glance at Zou Yu, who was silently peeling an orange not far away.
Then she smiled. "Zou Yu is very good to me. I feel calm when I'm with him. To be honest, I never thought I'd get married and have children one day."
When she returned to the country, she was determined to smash through everything in her path.
But then she met this man.
He had such a tough exterior, but his heart was so soft.
Most importantly, his emotions were stable.
No matter how much she threw tantrums or acted out, he took it all in stride.
Even when he was extremely angry, he would just silently look at her.
When she first came back, her emotions were far from stable. It was this man who gradually soothed the anger in her heart and made her understand happiness little by little.
"Sister, you may not believe it, but because of him, I realized that I could be loved unconditionally."
Qi Ruixi was smiling, but there were tears glistening in her eyes.
It was hard to imagine that Zou Yu had grown up in such a difficult environment, yet his heart was upright and sunny.
He said that throughout his life, the country and many strangers had given him warmth and help, and he would always be grateful.
"He's not only good to me. He's just a good person in general. That's why I now only want to be a good person, too."
Qi Ruixi was laughing and crying at the same time, her happiness palpable.
It wasn't an exaggeration on her part.
This time when she came back, Liu Ning had said such hurtful things.
If it had been the old her, she would have surely flipped the table on the spot and taken as much as she could while Qi Shifeng and Qi Ye were focused on Xu Tingyu.
But this time, looking at Liu Ning's ferocious expression, she just silently reminded herself not to become such a person in the future.
She didn't even bother to talk to Liu Ning and didn't want the baby in her belly to hear those ugly words.
In the past few days, Liu Ning had called and texted her many times, hoping she would cause a ruckus, but Qi Ruixi ignored them all.
Whoever wanted to make a fuss could go ahead. She wasn't going to.
She just wanted to close the door and live a good life with Zou Yu.
When Liu Ning realized she couldn't stir her up, her words became even more unpleasant. Finally, when she said the word "bastard," Qi Ruixi couldn't take it anymore and blocked her again.
Her child was her treasure, not a bastard. No one was allowed to insult them.
Even more ironically, Xu Tingyu, who had just been in a car accident, knew to tell her not to get too emotional and take good care of the baby.
But her own mother had maliciously cursed her, saying that her disobedience would bring retribution, and it might fall on the child.
Qi Ruixi had sworn never to be sad for Liu Ning again.
But at this moment, she couldn't help but want to cry.
Xu Tingyu and the others didn't know that Liu Ning had been harassing Qi Ruixi. They thought she was crying happily.
"Because Ruixi is so wonderful, Zou Yu is lucky to have found you. Of course, he has to be good to you," Xu Tingyu said as she wiped away Qi Ruixi's tears.
Qi Shifeng snorted. "Zou Yu bully her? It'd be a miracle if she doesn't bully him."
Being "stabbed in the back" by her second brother, Qi Ruixi stopped crying and glared at him fiercely. Then she complained to Xu Tingyu, "Sister, look at him."
Just as everyone was laughing and joking, the door of the ward opened again. Qi Ye walked in accompanied by Zhang Wan.
For some reason, his face looked extremely pale and sickly, so much so that it was a bit scary.
Even when he spoke, he seemed weak and listless.
The originally lively room fell into an eerie silence with his arrival.
He didn't look at anyone else and strode directly to Xu Tingyu's hospital bed. "Tingyu, how did the car accident happen? How do you feel now?"
After Xu Tingyu's car accident, Qi Shifeng had blocked the news immediately.
After Qi Ye returned to the capital, his access to information was not as good as when he was in the UK, so he only found out about it today.
He had been feeling a bit unwell, but he still insisted on coming to see Xu Tingyu.
Xu Tingyu frowned and glanced at his pale face. "Does my feeling matter?"
Qi Ye's face turned even paler. Before he could say anything, Zhang Wan couldn't help but speak up. "Miss Xu, do you know what the boss has been through these past few days..."
Before she could finish, Qi Ye scolded her. "Shut up."
Xu Tingyu didn't care if they were just putting on a show for her. She simply said coldly, "I don't know and I don't want to know."
She had nothing to say to a crazy person like Qi Ye.
Zhang Wan was obviously very angry, but since she had been scolded by Qi Ye, she didn't dare to say anything else. She just glared at Xu Tingyu.
"Tingyu, I know you're not happy. No one would be happy about this kind of thing."
"However, this also shows that the capital is not suitable for you. After Grandpa's matter is over, we'll go back to the UK immediately."
Qi Ye seemed to be really uncomfortable. He even had some difficulty saying these two sentences.
Xu Tingyu didn't directly say that she had regained her memory and wouldn't go back with him. She just looked at him coldly.
Her attitude was obvious. She didn't want to go back.
She still had one thing to figure out, which was what Qi Ye's connection was to Xu Jia's death back then.
So she couldn't tip her hand for the time being.
But she was too lazy to play nice. So under Qi Ye's eager gaze, she simply said, "I'm tired. You all should leave."
As soon as she said that, Qi Shifeng immediately stood up to chase them away.
In fact, even if she hadn't said anything, his patience had run out, and he was about to start chasing them away anyway.
Qi Ye's face became even paler. He could hardly stand up, but he didn't dare to say anything more for fear of arousing more disgust.
So he almost turned around in a hurry and said, "Then I'll leave first. You should rest well."
Just as he was about to walk out with Zhang Wan's support, Xu Tingyu suddenly spoke up again.
"Qi Ye, stop using tricks on me and stop being so self - righteous about being good to me. Please."
She was really tired.
If Qi Ye hurt Youyou or anyone else around her again, she really wouldn't be able to bear it.
Qi Ye froze all over. His lips moved as if he had a lot to say, but in the end, he said nothing.
As he left, his steps were unsteady, as if he was extremely embarrassed and completely desperate.
As soon as they left, Qi Ruixi said curiously, "Why does big brother look so sick? He seems to be in a lot of pain."
Everyone knew that Qi Ye was in poor health, but they didn't know the details.
Xu Tingyu suddenly remembered that he took a lot of medicine every day.
But soon, she pushed those thoughts aside.
After all, for a man who had threatened her, his health was none of her business.
Besides, Zhang Wan cared so much about Qi Ye. She would surely take good care of him.
But she never expected that Zhang Wan would secretly come to see her at night, avoiding everyone else.
