"I know that both of you care about me, Mom. I'm not pushing you away. It's just that I want to punish those who hurt me with my own hands. If I need help, I'll definitely ask you guys!"
"If you are putting it that way, does it mean that this accident was also planned beforehand? Someone intentionally hurt you?" Ruan Zhang's face was still black.
Who would be so presumptuous as to hurt the daughter of the country's well- known business tycoon?
There were many possibilities, but if it was someone from his business rivals who dared to hurt his daughter, he can't just sit back and watch!
He must make sure to take revenge on her behalf!
"Calm down, Dad. I do have a hunch on the person who likely did this. But I don't have any evidence in my hands currently. Doing something rash would make us look bad. I don't want to hurt your reputation by casually throwing someone under the bus, nor by confronting the enemies without proper evidence."
Both Ruan Zhang and Song Ning were surprised at her thoughtful answer. But at the same time, they were also happy. Even though they didn't mind going against anyone for her sake, her words still made them very happy.
"Did the accident knock some sense into your head, now you are even thinking about your Mom and Dad huh? It seems I should reward that driver who knocked you out." Ruan Zhang joked as he laughed heartily.
"Dad! How could you say your daughter is an idiot? I won't talk to you anymore, hmph!" Ruan Ji pretended to get angry while smiling all the time.
She really missed those times when they were still a happy family.
But not anymore.
This time, she will make sure her life stays as it is. No one can touch her precious family, they can only dare to do so, over her dead body!
"Fine, fine. Ji'er is my intelligent daughter, my sweetheart. Dad won't make fun of you anymore."
"Though, it doesn't excuse the fact that my sweetheart was still hurt. So, I'll make sure you'll never have to see that ugly face ever again!"
Ruan Zhang was truly angry, but at the same time, he was also afraid that his daughter would think he was being ruthless and avoid him.
"Not only the driver, I'll break up my relationship with the person behind this whole incident, Dad."
Though the Ruan parents were surprised at her declaration, they were also happy that she didn't become passive and asked them to forgive the people.
"Dad, Mom. Today, the first people that cross the threshold of this hospital cabin are the ones who hurt me. You'll get to see them soon."
"What did you say?! Ji'er, they hurt you. And they still dare to come here? For what? To see whether your funeral was ready or not?" It's obvious how angry Ruan Zhang was, but before he could explode, Song Ning interrupted.
"Darling, calm down. You'll scare Ji'er!"
"How can I calm down after hearing that my daughter's murderers would dare to come and go right under our nose? Those bastards all deserve to die!" Ruan Zhang slammed his hands on the desk as he looked at Song Ning with bloodshot eyes.
"You can see that Ji'er knows the culprit, which means she has her own plans to take care of them. You shouldn't interrupt her plans until it's absolutely necessary darling. Remember that we will always be by her side. There is no way they can harm her again with us staying here."
After Song Ning's careful persuasion, Ruan Zhang did sit down, but the anger from his eyes didn't dissipate.
'I really want to see which bastard is it, daring to hurt my daughter!'
"However, before that, I need your cooperation in something. Can you do as I say, Dad, Mom?"
★★★
"Ugh! Do I really need to go see that bitch? I don't even like her, much less even want to talk to her!" Huang Zhe was annoyed as ever when it came to Ruan Ji, as he tugged at his tie restlessly.
The accident was totally a masterplan from the beginning, to get that clingy woman off his neck.
It would've been better if she just died on the spot, but not only did she survive, but now he had to go and serve that bitch with a smile until he got cramps on his face!
Not only that, what if she becomes even more clingy and tries to get a hold on him?
Just as he was feeling annoyed and frustrated, a pair of soft, slender hands glided from behind, hugging his waist tightly. He could feel the softness pressed on his back, the warmth coming from it that drove him wild every time.
"Huang ge, what's the rush? Why are you so mad? Did Li'er do something wrong?" The sweet, coquettish and playful voice undoubtedly belonged to a woman which made his heart beat faster.
"It's nothing. Just that, it seems the plan failed. What should we do now?" Huang Zhe grabbed the hand and tugged the girl over to his arms, asking with a playful voice.
The girl's hands seemed to freeze for a while, but recovered fast as she looked up and said, "Come on, is that something you should worry about? She doesn't know who did it anyway, nor does she know this whole ordeal was a devised plan. Why don't you use this to get close to her?" She laughed as she playfully poked his chest.
"Li'er, you are so heartless. Doesn't it bother you to send your man off to another girl?" Tugging a lock of hair behind her ears, Huang Zhe laughed bitterly as he said. "I really don't want to continue this any longer, it hurts my pride. I like you, why must I succumb to another woman? Why must I act with her every day?"
"It's not that I want to let you stay with that bitch either, Huang ge!"
