The stepmother control group counterattacked with cubs in the era

Yan Yi acted magnanimously and fearlessly, and Shen Mingzhu's already weak heart became even more shaken.

As Yan Yi said, she had no evidence and was just relying on speculation.

"How can you prove it?"

"Generally speaking, pinch marks will appear in 1-2 days, and I was not in Fengcheng these two days. I went to the capital two days ago and returned to Fengcheng at 10 o'clock last night. I drove back after leaving the airport. I rested in my own residence and didn't go out until I received a call from the Zhong family. The airport's flight records and the doorman downstairs can prove it for me."

In this era without mobile phones and the Internet, even if Yan Yi wanted to tamper with records and collude with confessions, it would take time to make arrangements.

Yan Yi dared to take her directly to investigate, thinking it was true.

"As for the teeth marks you mentioned, Zhong Qing and I are not the kind of relationship you think. To be precise, we are just partners. Apart from the name of an unmarried couple, we do not have any ambiguous or intimate behavior in private. etc. When Zhong Qing wakes up, you can ask her for confirmation."

Shen Mingzhu replied thoughtfully: "Sorry, I still can't believe your one-sided words. When Qingqing wakes up, if I really misunderstood you, I will apologize to you."

"I'm waiting for you to come."

After Yan Yi finished speaking, he left first.

Looking at the other party's clear and dignified back, the balance in Shen Mingzhu's heart was already tilted towards the other party's innocent side.

If it wasn’t Yan Yi, then who could it be?

……

At noon, Zhong Qing woke up for a while.

Not sure if it was because he was too weak or because the anesthetic had not completely worn off yet, Zhong Qing moved his lips but made no sound.

He just looked at Shen Mingzhu with sad and broken eyes.

After being held by Shen Mingzhu's hand, she closed her eyes without saying anything and ignored Chu Yuqing in front of the hospital bed the whole time.

Shen Mingzhu focused all her attention on Zhong Qing and did not notice Zhong Qing's surprising indifference and indifference towards Chu Yuqing.

At noon, the Zhong family's nanny brought lunch.

Shen Mingzhu was really hungry.

After all, I stayed up all night and didn't eat much breakfast.

Thinking of the inexplicable fainting for more than an hour yesterday, she didn't dare to eat the Zhong family's food anymore, so she went home on the pretext of going back to the factory to deal with some matters.

After lunch, Shen Mingzhu found red dates, wolfberries, peanuts and brown sugar, preparing to cook a pot of blood-enhancing porridge and take it to the hospital.

While making porridge, she took a nap with her daughter. When she woke up, she called Yan Su and told him about Zhong Qing's hospitalization.

From the time Zhong Qing was sent to the hospital until now, except for her and Yan Yi, no other relatives or friends have come to visit.

It is speculated that the Zhong family deliberately blocked the news and did not want everyone to know about it.

But why did the Zhong family notify her?

After all, she is just an insignificant outsider to the Zhong family.

……

"See anything?"

Chu Yuqing nodded, "In my opinion, Yan Yi really cares about her and is quite indulgent towards her."

Seeing Zhong Jiping frowning, Chu Yuqing hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will help you find a better one. How about Zhou's mother's cousin? The one you saw last time, although the appearance is not as good as Qingqing, but it is better. Young and clean."

After hearing this, Zhong Jiping's face improved a little. Just as he was about to say something, the nanny's voice came from behind:
"Madam, sir, the eldest lady is awake!"

Hearing this, the couple stopped talking and turned back to the ward.

In the ward, Zhong Qing was telling Zhong Yin and Zhong Min in a weak voice the reason for her injury, "...I accidentally broke the desk lamp and tried to pick up the pieces, but the medicine took effect and I fainted and pricked my wrist. On the glass. Stop crying, I'm fine."

The siblings obviously believed her explanation, "Sister, you should get well soon, let's go to the lantern festival together."

"Ah."

Chu Yuqing walked to the hospital bed and said in a soft voice: "Okay, sister needs to rest, you can go back."

"Oh. Sister, take good care of your health. We will come see you tomorrow." Facing her well-behaved and sensible sister, the smile on Zhong Qing's face that had not yet bloomed froze when she touched Zhong Jiping's movements.

Zhong Jiping placed his big hands on his youngest daughter's waist and looked at her meaningfully, "Take good care of your health as soon as possible, otherwise Yin Yin will be very sad."

Zhong Qing stared at Zhong Jiping's hypocritical face, with a bluish-white color between his finger bones.

She knew that this was Zhong Jiping's warning to her.

"Dad, I will."

Hearing her answer, Zhong Jiping smiled with satisfaction.

……

When Shen Mingzhu returned to the ward, the Zhong family had already left, leaving only a nanny to take care of her in the ward.

Zhong Qing was half leaning on the head of the bed, staring out the window in concentration.

"Qingqing, you're awake."

Hearing her voice, Zhong Qing's unfocused eyes gradually regained a glimmer of light.

"Pearl."

"I'm here."

Shen Mingzhu grabbed her hand, her eyebrows were gentle, "How do you feel? Do you want some water? Are you hungry? I made porridge for you, can you eat some?"

Facing her deep concern, a weak smile appeared on Zhong Qing's pale face, "Okay."

Zhong Qing stopped eating less than half of a bowl of porridge.

Shen Mingzhu didn't force herself and asked the nanny to buy some fresh oranges and apples.

"The air in the ward is not good. Put some fruit to remove the smell."

After sending the nanny away, Shen Mingzhu looked at Zhong Qing and hesitated to speak.

She had too many questions in her mind, such as whether Zhong's mother had drugged her yesterday, Zhong Qing's injuries, the reasons for her suicide, and her depression.

"Qingqing, you can actually be a little more selfish. This is your first time, so why should you be the one who tolerates and sacrifices?"

"I heard a saying that it is better to go crazy and kill others than to torture yourself internally. Even if you die, you have to have someone to support you."

Zhong Qing looked at her, his brown pupils cracked due to shock.

Shen Mingzhu did not know that the impact of her words on Zhong Qing was no less than that of the Indian Ocean tsunami.

This was a tsunami that belonged to Zhong Qing alone, and her world was shaken.

It was like a crack was torn open in the darkness of the eternal night, and light shined through the crack.

For prisoners who are accustomed to crawling in darkness, this light is undoubtedly new hope and faith.

She cried until she burst into tears, "Mingzhu, no one has ever said such things to me. I wish I could have met you earlier."

"It's not too late." Shen Mingzhu held her hand and explained seriously: "No matter what hardships you have experienced and encountered before, God gave you a second life as compensation and mercy for you. Don’t waste the opportunity given to you for revenge, and you don’t need to be polite to the person who hurt you.”

Zhong Qing cried silently, seeming to be thinking about her words.

Shen Mingzhu continued: "We are friends. No matter what happens, I am willing to accompany you to solve it. You can trust me."

Seeing that Zhong Qing's expression was shaken, Shen Mingzhu took advantage of the victory and asked: "Qing Qing, is the person who hurt you Yan Yi?"

"I accidentally saw the injuries on your neck and body earlier."

Zhong Qing was slightly stunned, as if she was surprised that she would think of Yan Yi.

"No, it has nothing to do with him."

With the expected result, Shen Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't want it to be Yan Yi. After all, with Yan Yi's identity and family background, it was really hard for her and Zhong Qing to stand up to each other. (End of chapter)
