Chapter 11
Xia Qing Shu stood in the monitoring range to take out the phone, quickly dialed a number, crying to the caller for help, "Sister, someone is bullying me ...... I'm at school ...... I'm scared ......"
After hanging up the phone, he quietly turned on the phone camera and pointed it at the people surrounding him.
Xia Qingshu's timid look of begging for mercy provoked the other party, and Zhou Qian stood in the dead center of the surveillance, his eyes glowing, staring at him with deadly interest.
Although Xia Qing Shu showed that he was scared, he did not shrink a bit. He shook his head and looked left and right. Like a pretty deer confused and unaware of the danger coming, still expecting someone to come to his rescue.
His features were bright and his snow-white skin glowed with a lustrous sheen, making a fire burn deep in Zhou Qian's belly, making him want to tear this prey apart immediately.
Zhou Qian hooked his lips and licked them leeringly at Xia Qing Shu.
Xia Qingshu: "......"
So, oily and greasy!
He wanted to shower him with a bottle of detergent.
He cupped his fists together and timidly protected them in front of his chest, "Don't come over, if you come over again, I'll have to shout!"
"Go ahead and shout, no one will come to your rescue even if you shout!" Zhou Qian hugged his arms and laughed teasingly.
Xia Qing: "....."
He even got that villain smell.
"What do you want? I don't even know you." Although he had experienced the "poisoned peanut" incident, Xia Qing Shu had never had a head-on confrontation with Zhou Qian, so he could still be considered a stranger.
Zhou Qian's eyes stared at him like a poisoned snake, sending a chill down his spine, "I'll introduce myself, my name is Zhou Qian, I want to make friends with you."
"Sure." Xia Qingli nodded immediately.
Zhou Qian frowned, he didn't expect Xia Qing Shu to be out of line, disrupting his thoughts and almost not knowing what to say next, he paused, "I want to be your boyfriend."
"That's fine." Xia Qing Shu agreed quickly.
Zhou Qian: "......"
"Friend, would you let me go back to class first?" Xia Qing Shu blinked at Zhou Qian and said in a small voice, "I'll go play with you after class."
His voice was sweet and his smile was warm, as if he really had a boyfriend.

Zhou Qian's eyes were dazzled by his smile. If it wasn't for the painful stomach wash reminding him, he would have almost forgotten the pain this fool had put him through.
Zhou Qian spat, stopped talking nonsense to him and ordered his men, "Drag him to the sports equipment warehouse."
Today, no matter what, he was going to bully Xia Qing Shu ...... bully him until he cried. After the bullying, he would then love him a lot.
The three men walked towards him step by step, with their sinister eyes showing, "No need to cover his mouth, I like to hear him scream."
They were near the back door of the gymnasium equipment room, an isolated area surrounded by leafy sycamores, the lush canopy was growing around the monitor so, only an area of less than two square feet at the foot of the summer green tree could be illuminated by the surveillance.
Zhou Qian is tall, measuring 1.85 metres visually, with a pair of eyes full of evil. If you look closely, you can see that one of the eyes covered by long bangs has greyish pupils, making him look like a beast with different pupils lurking in the dark, finding its prey.
He was followed by two male university students, one called Cuntou and the other Chang Hao, both tall and handsome one would wonder why they were following Zhou Qian in this kind of shameless business.
The three slowly approached him, forcing him towards the dead end of the surveillance.
Xia Qing Shu and Zhou Qian talked quite a lot, to deliberately stall for time, during which no one passed by, he left the classroom and did not go to the auditorium, and no one came looking for him.
Xia Qing Shu finally realised the seriousness of the matter, that these ordinary male university students would really do terrible things to him.
There were so few students, why did the school have to be fixed so big?
His legs trembled as he slowly hid behind a bushy shrub that was growing heavily.
The little pink and white face, stained with forest dew, was like a fallen elf.
Lovely and weak.
He had to make him cry.
Zhou Qian stood unmoving, admiring Xia Qing Shu's panicked expression through the tender green branches. The beauty was so scared that he could get high just imagining it.
"Go on, tie him up."
To draw attention to himself, Xia Qing Shu ran for higher ground, he retreated to a small slope with no further way back behind him and stumbled, falling to the ground.
Cuntou then slowly closed in on him and walked up to him, a roll of rope in hand, looking down at him from above. The prey was so weak that the predator could take control of it without much effort.
Xia Qing Shu was terrified, his beautiful eyes instantly filled with glistening white teardrops and his whole eye socket was red. His whole body was tense and his limbs were rigid, except for those soulful eyes, which could not stop dripping tears down.

The way he was crying was unspeakably seductive.
Cuntou looked lost in thought.
"What are you waiting for, go on!"
He stepped forward and with just one hand, he tackled Xia Qing Shu's hands.
As soon as the delicate flesh was tied up by rope, it began to flush red. A line of red marks appeared between the wrists, as if they had been playing some exciting game, making the skin appear even whiter.
In a voice that only two people could hear, Cuntou said, "Honey, be good, I'll make sure it's gentle later."
Xia Qing Shu was dumbfounded. They were obviously still students, how could they do such a thing. Don't the parents and teachers care? Was there no law in this world?
Anyway, there was no absolute fairness in the school in the first place, they were all rich, and rich people had privileges.
He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start, just a weak, helpless voice humming out of his nostrils.
"Don't tie me up .....Let me go will you ......"
When he spoke, he seemed to have something in his mouth that made his speech a little slurred. It made one want to pry his mouth open and take out what was inside.
"Hurry up!" Zhou Qian noticed Cuntou's abnormality and spoke out to warn.
"I ......" Cuntou squatted down, Cuntou pounced onto Xia Qing Shu's ankles and took off his shoes, "Trying to tie up his legs as well."
"Tie his legs mm ......." Zhou Qian thought about it, they didn't know what came to mind, but a grim smile curled around his mouth, "We'll talk about this later."
Xia Qing Shu's feet were small, wearing a pair of white boat socks, and just as soon as they hit the ground, they were stained with grey dead leaves.
Pretty boy with pretty feet.
Zhou Qian stared at his feet, "Don't let his feet get dirty."
He meant for Cuntou to put his shoes back on him, but Cuntou misunderstood him and picked up Xia Qing Shu with one hand.
"Come on, let's go to the gym storage."
Zhou Qian frowned. They had agreed beforehand that they'd all have a share, and while Cuntou pnly carried him up, it felt like he was crossing the line, Zhou Qian was a little inexplicably upset.
"You put him down and let him go on his own."

"Okay." Cuntou responded.
Xia Qing Shu felt a flip of the sky and he was put on the ground again.
It looked like a violent movement, but it didn't hurt, and he was placed flat and steady on the ground.
Cuntou squatted down, flush with his eyes. If the occasion hadn't been wrong, Xia Qing Shu would have thought Cuntou was good looking, with a high nose, sharp eyebrows and just a thin lip that made him look serious.
"I have a pair of little white rabbit slippers at my house, they would look good on you. Next time, come to my house as a guest, okay?"
Xia Qing Shu's body stepped back, his tears stopped, and his face remained white. He was frozen, not daring to move a muscle.
The sunlight poured through and fell onto the side of his face, illuminating it. The whole picture looked brighter and more gorgeous. It made people's breath stop.
Xia Qing Shu leaned his body forward and bent his legs up.
When Cuntou sensed his initiative, his eyes lit up. Xia Qingshu slowly lifted his foot and moved his body forward again.
Infront of Cuntou's delighted gaze, Xia Qing Shu kicked at his head with a little bit of force.
Cuntou was crouched on a flower bed halfway up the slope, behind him was an overhang close to three metres above the ground, so it should not have been a problem for him to jump down, but it was as if his brain had shut down, and he did not move at all and unceremoniously fell down.
After landing with a thud, Cuntou let out a scream.
It was a soft sound.
Both Chang Hao and Zhou Qian were dumbfounded. One second Xia Qing Shu was in full Cuntou's full control, and the next Cuntou fell from a height.
Cuntou's arm was dislocated and his face was full of bruises.
"Brother Qian, what should we do?" Chang Hao asked.
"You take him to the hospital, I'll do it myself." Zhou Qian was surprisingly a little excited that Cuntou was injured.
Xia Qing Shu, with his hands tied behind him and wearing white socks, stood frozen in place.
The dazed eyes matched with the bright looks made him too charged and Zhou Qian narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath and gritted his teeth to try calming himself down.
Suddenly, the sound of a police siren rang out from the campus.

The sound of "It's over – it's over – it's over -" came from far and kept on nearing, eventually stopping not far from a few people.
Zhou Qian frowned, "You called the police?"
Xia Qing Shu finally let out a sigh of relief, "Yeah."
When he was surrounded, he called his "sister" for help, and that "sister" was the police lady.
Zhou Qian's eyes looked at Xia Qing Shu, unbuckled his belt and reached into his trousers to adjust the position of the hard "bull", licking his lips again, "Count yourself lucky this time, if you want to get your diploma, remember to not say any nonsense later."
He had long investigated Xia Qing Shu's family background, and his family had sort of "smashed the pots and pans" to get him to school. These threatening words should carry a lot of weight for Xia Qing Shu.
As soon as the words left his mouth, a policewoman appeared at the entrance of the alleyway and shouted, "No one is allowed to move!"
The policewoman rushed forward, peeled away Zhou Qian and asked, "Qing Shu, are you alright."
Xia Qingshu stumbled a few steps into the arms of the policewoman and cried out in anguish, "Sister, they are bullying me."
"Don't be afraid, sister is here, sister will protect you."
This policewoman was someone Xia Qing Shu had met when he was questioned at the police station, he was sweet-talking and good-looking, so when he finally left, he and the policewoman exchanged their phone numbers.
The policewoman untied the rope from his hands and gently stroked his back to comfort him.
Suddenly, Xia Qing Shu felt a wave of nausea in his stomach and he pushed the policewoman away, covering his mouth and vomiting.
The policewoman's face suddenly changed and she asked nervously, "Qing Shu, did they hit you on the head?"
Xia Qingshu paused and nodded dumbfounded. Their bullying behaviour was even worse than hitting him on the head.a
After nodding, he felt very dizzy and the sky was spinning. He propped his head up with his hands and stood unsteadily.
After being held by the policewoman, he was still nauseous and could not help but dry heave again.
The policewoman immediately took out her pager and contacted the school nurse, "Get a stretcher over here immediately, Qing Shu, sit down and don't move, I suspect brain stem injury."
The policewoman greeted a few colleagues and handcuffed Zhou Qian and Chang Hao, saying in a cold voice, "You've broken the criminal law, say what you have to say back at the station."
The cold handcuffs fell onto their wrists with a clang.
It was the first time Zhou Qian had been treated like this, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
Chapter 12
In the auditorium lounge, Chen Zhiyu put on his gold-rimmed glasses and worked on his laptop. Xia Yubin pushed the door and walked over, calling out softly, "Mr. Chen, there are still ten minutes left before the presentation time."
Chen Zhiyu didn't even raise his head, always looking at the documents in his hand, Secretary Li hurried over and told Xia Yubin to leave, "Mr. Chen doesn't like to be disturbed when he's working."
Xia Yubin knew Secretary Li, he was Chen Zhiyu's right-hand man, he whispered, "I am the student representative, I am responsible for following Mr. Chen throughout the whole process."
Only when he heard the words "student representative" did Chen Zhiyu raise his head and gave Xia Yubin a bland look, "Isn't the student representative Xia Qing Shu? Who are you?"
Xia Yubin froze, he and Chen Zhiyu had already met, so why hadn't he recognised him?
"Xia Qing Shu had something to do and couldn't come, I came to help out on a temporary basis." Xia Yubin said.
"What's up with him?"
"I don't know, he's usually rather confused, I think he might have taken a wrong turn."
"Secretary Li, you go and find out." Chen Zhiyu finished speaking and returned his attention to the documents.
Secretary Li made a "please" gesture, indicating Xia Yubin to go out, Xia Yubin was a bit anxious and his voice was slightly higher, "Mr. Chen, don't you remember me?"
Chen Zhiyu did not look up, nor did he say anything. Secretary Li stopped in the centre, "This student, please leave."
He had seen this kind of person a lot, always thinking that if he had met with his boss once, he was an acquaintance. They would stick to him whenever they had the chance.
The boss abhorred this.
Xia Yubin: "Mr. Chen, I'm Xia Shan's brother. I accidentally bumped into you at the hospital the other day and haven't paid for your clothes yet."
Only when he heard the name "Xia Shan" did Chen Zhiyu look up at him, his tone still impersonal, "Secretary Li."
Secretary Li stepped forward, "Xia, just give me the money for the clothes, Mr. Chen doesn't like to talk much."
Xia Yubin stood unmoving, his insides rippling. Hearing Chen Zhiyu's tone, he seemed to know Xia Qing Shu, although he didn't say a lot of words, the concern revealed in his words was not fake.
What happened, the old Chen Zhiyu still knew Xia Qing Shu through him, didn't he used to hate Xia Qing Shu the most?
The recent Xia Qing Shu, too, seemed different from before.
"Student Xia, just scan the code and pay."
Seeing Xia Yubin frozen in a daze, Secretary Li gently touched him.
Xia Yubin came back to his senses, "Excuse me, I'll be right there."
After paying 100,000 yuan, Xia Yubin was "invited" out of the lounge.
There were a few students standing at the door, looking at him as he was invited out, with their lips curled down, probably gossiping about him behind his back.
Shortly afterwards, Secretary Li came out of the lounge and found a fellow volunteer, "Do you know the phone number of Mr. Xia Qing Shu? He is the student representative, Mr. Chen has something to ask him."
The fellow volunteer gave Secretary Li the number, which he called, but didn't get through.
"What a joke, thinking he could fill in if Xia Qing Shu couldn't come, but it turns out Mr. Chen would rather send someone to find Xia Qing Shu than him."

"If I were him, I'd have to find a pit and bury myself."
"It's a disgrace, and he gave the teacher the assurance that he would be able to do the job, and that he would be responsible for anything that happened, what would he be responsible for?"
"By the way, where's Xia Qing Shu, why isn't he here yet?"
Several students were discussing, when suddenly a teacher came in to inform, "Xia Qing Shu was beaten up by Zhou Qian and sent to the hospital."
Xia Qing Shu was beaten up and Xia Yubin took his place, the two of them had previous problems, which inevitably made people suspicious.
"It can't be that Xia Yubin found someone to do it, just to get close to Mr. Chen?"
"What, no way?"
"How could it not be, you forget, he stole Xia Qinshu's peanuts and was sent to the hospital to have his stomach pumped, how could he not hold a grudge?!"
～
In the hospital ward, Xia Qing Shu sat on the hospital bed. He was neatly dressed, with the corners of his clothes and school bag stained with mud and broken leaves. Because the police had brought him here, the emergency doctor came almost as soon as he arrived at the hospital.
The doctor asked, "Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Xia Qing Shu closed his eyes and said breathlessly, "My head hurts."
"Why does it hurt?"
Xia Qing Shu opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling for a while, and after a while, he asked the doctor, "Why do you ask why I have a headache? I've been hit on the head."
After saying that, he covered his mouth and vomited dryly. The doctor frowned and quickly wrote a checklist, holding out his hand and waving it in front of his eyes, "Is your head dizzy?"
Xia Qing Shu's eyes were confused and he didn't say anything.
The doctor took out a torch, flipped open his eyes and shone it on his pupils.
Only after shining it did Xia Qing Shu reply in a daze, "Dizzy."
The doctor asked a few more questions and Xia Qing Shu became "unconscious" and passed out.
The doctor quickly wrote down on the medical record – [External blow to the head, pupil size normal, intermittent blurred consciousness, intermittent dry heaving, intermittent coma, suspected brain stem injury]
～
At the police station, Zhou Qian, ChangHao and Cuntuo are sitting in the interrogation room.
Cuntuo's elbow was dislocated and the injury was bandaged.
"Brother Qian, what should we do?" The long-haired man Chang Hao crossed his legs, "These cops seem to be more serious."
"Would you believe if I said, later on their chief will personally send me home and have to say sorry to me?!" Zhou Qian looked coldly at the female police officer who had arrested him, his voice not too loud, not too small, just enough for the other party to hear.

His eyes were sinister and spiteful, staring at the other party with contempt.
"Believe it, I believe it a hundred times." Chang Hao hailed.
The three people sat for a few minutes before someone from the Zhou family arrived. Zhou's father was a domestic media tycoon who had two sons in total. The eldest, Zhou Chuan, was twenty-five years old and was raised exactly as an heir. The younger son, Zhou Qian, had been spoiled since he was a child and his family expected nothing from him, as long as he was safe and happy.
After his family's improper care of him as a child caused Zhou Qian to hurt his eye, the Zhou family spoiled him even more, fulfilling almost all his requests just to make up for their debt to him, thus nurturing Zhou Qian's little bully-like personality.
The man who came was none other than Zhou Qian's older brother Zhou Chuan. Zhou Chuan was well dressed, wore a pair of gold rimmed glasses and was well brought up, as soon as he arrived he went straight to Zhou Qian, "Brother, is everything alright with you?"
When Zhou Qian saw his brother, he was more restrained, "Brother, it's nothing, it's just playfulness between classmates." He pointed to Chang Hao and Cuntuo, "Look, two of my brothers are still injured."
Zhou Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and motioned his accompanying lawyer to deal with the aftermath, "It's good that it's okay, just wait a minute, we'll be ready to go soon."
Zhou Qian gave an "oh" and glanced at his two accomplices smugly.
The long-haired man gave Zhou Qian a sneaky thumbs-up, while Cuntuo hung on to his injured hand, looking like he was lost in thought.
Zhou Qian smiled smugly and said to Cuntuo, "Xia Qing Shu has injured you, I will make him pay accordingly."
Cuntuo stammered and answered "Oh".
Zhou Chuan was followed by the company's lawyer, who, with his briefcase in his hand, found the police on duty and wanted to take Zhou Qian away.
The lawyer had handled a lot of matters concerning the Zhou family's youngest son, and he was very familiar with them. In the past, he had always gone to the school, and as long as he showed the name of the Zhou family and his identity as a lawyer, the other party would be afraid of him. This is the first time he had gone to the police station to get the boy. Anyway, so long as no one got killed, it won't be too much trouble.
Besides, even if it was a human life taken, the Zhou family could afford to compensate for it .
"Officer, can my client go now?"
The policewoman who was answering the phone, glanced at the lawyer and gestured for the other party to sit down.
The lawyer was a little impatient and stared the policewoman down with a scowl. Zhou Qian came over and prodded, "What's going on? How much longer do we have to wait? I have business later."
The lawyer said reassuringly, "Don't worry, young Zhou, you will soon go right away."
The policewoman hung up the phone and looked very serious, pointing at Zhou Qian and the other two, "You can't leave, take them into custody immediately."
Then several police officers came over next to them and handcuffed Zhou Qian and the two of them and prepared to take them to the detention room.
The police took the campus surveillance and also interrogated the classmate who tricked Xia Qing Shu out, and also got the short video taken by Xia Qing Shu, which confirmed that it was Zhou Qian's intentional injury.
Once the sentence was handed down, it would be a minimum at three years.
Zhou Qian questioned the lawyer, "What's going on?"
The lawyer frowned, "Isn't it just a fight between classmates?"
Zhou Qian had done more outrageous things before, and there was no custodial situation. The policewoman said in a businesslike manner, "We just received the victim's medical records, it's a suspected brain stem injury."
The policewoman had dealt with many fights and brawls as well as car accidents and had encountered many injured victims with brain damage. While brain stem injuries and concussions are both brain injuries, brain stem injuries are immediately fatal.
In such cases, the suspect must be taken into custody.

With cold handcuffs and being pushed forward by the police, fear appeared for the first time on the face of the young bully, Zhou Qian: "Brother, brother, I want to go home."
Such a situation was completely unexpected by Zhou Chuan, who questioned the lawyer, "Didn't you say he could leave right away?"
The lawyer was someone who had seen a lot of things, and immediately analysed the situation calmly, "Mr Zhou, I have dealt with this kind of situation before, and as long as the victim's understanding is obtained, Mr Zhou will be able to come out within two hours."
Zhou Chuan looked at his brother's wretched back and was a little impatient, "Go to the hospital now!"
~
Xia Qing Shu was lying on the hospital bed, sometimes unconscious, sometimes awake, sometimes dry heaving, sometimes blurred in consciousness.
He couldn't remember whether Zhou Qian had hit him on the head or not, but he was just very dizzy anyway.
He was very angry at Zhou Qian's behaviour.
Before he crossed over, Xia Qing Shu's father was a big man in the medical field, and XiaQinshu knew some of the symptoms that would occur if his brain stem was damaged. Although there was an element of deliberate acting, he was really dizzy and wanted to vomit.
He lay in bed for a short nap, and when he opened his eyes, he saw two men in suits standing in front of his bed, one in a high-fashion suit, presumably from the Zhou family, and one in a Helix, most likely a lawyer.
The first moment Zhou Chuan saw Xia Qing Shu, he knew what his brother was thinking. He knew every one of the ridiculous things Zhou Qian had done in the past. A soft beauty like Xia Qingshu, leave alone Zhou Qian, even he would look at the boy a few more times if he met him.
Such a beauty, lying on a hospital bed, would not make people think of sickness, but would instead remind people of certain restricted scenes, such as hospital bed role play......
Seeing Xia Qing Shu open his eyes, Zhou Chuan gestured for the lawyer to come forward.
"This student," the lawyer glanced at the name tag on the hospital bed and changed his tone, "Student Xia Qing Shu, I am Zhou Qian's lawyer and I would like to talk to you about compensation."
The lawyer's aim was simple, the sooner the better, after all, young Zhou was still being kept in a detention cell. The conditions in the detention cell were not very good, a small room, crammed with several large men, with a toilet in the corner of the room, where they ate, drank and shit.
It was hot and muggy in the city, about thirty-three degrees these days, and the detention room didn't even have a fan, so it was hard enough to stay there.
Xia Qing Shu did not expect the other party to get straight to the point as soon as he arrived.
His original intention was not to ask for money, but to punish Zhou Qian, preferably after this, Zhou Qian would never come after him again, he was really scared today.
Of course, a financial compensation would be even better.
Xia Qing Shu gave a weak "hmm" and after a pause, looked at the lawyer and asked, "Who are you?"
The lawyer cleared his throat and repeated, "I'm Zhou Qian's lawyer, and I'm here to talk to you about compensation."
"Oh." Xia Qing Shu reached up and put his hand against his forehead, as if he understood, but then closed his eyes in exhaustion.
Five minutes later, he opened his eyes again, looked at the lawyer suspiciously, and asked, "You are?"
The lawyer patiently said it several times, and Xia Qing Shu was very nice, saying "hmm" and "oh" in agreement, "forgetting" who the other party was again in the blink of an eye.
Lawyer: "......"
This guy, is it deliberate?

Xia Qing Shu struggled to pick up the medical record and handed it to the lawyer, clicking on the words "blurred consciousness".
See, I'm sick.
Don't provoke me hehe
The lawyer had to swallow his anger, fearing that the noise would make Xia Qing Shu die, and that Zhou Qian would not come out anytime soon.
Zhou Chuan had smoked half a pack of cigarettes on the balcony, and the compensation negotiations were still at the stage of the lawyer's self-introduction.
"Hello, I'm Zhou Qian's lawyer ......"
"Hello, I'm here to negotiate compensation ......"
"Classmate, those who know the time are the best ......"
"What food? It's not food, it's people who know the right time ......"
"You want to eat?"
"Classmate, it's not mealtime yet ......"
"......"
"Student Xia, we all have a hard time, I also have an old man and a young one, I will give you a bottom line, under a million, the Zhou family will not even blink an eye."
Zhou Chuan waited for more than an hour and couldn't stand it any longer, he walked in and told the lawyer to go out, "I'm Zhou Qian's brother, you can tell me if you have any claims."
Xia Qing Shu struggled to lift his eyelids and gave him a look.
Zhou Chuan looked at Xia Qing Shu in a condescending manner, he was suave looking but his words were not very pleasant, "Xia student, I hope you will take it as it comes, I think we both know very well what the Zhou family does, we have the best team of lawyers in China, if you let go now, the Zhou family will guarantee to provide you with the best medical treatment, and you will also get a generous amount of money. If you want to delay the best time for treatment, you'll be the one who suffers when the time comes."
As if stunned, Xia Qing Shu struggled to half sit up and blinked, seemingly sick again, asking breathlessly, "What did you say? Can you speak more slowly? I didn't understand you just now."
After saying that, he closed his eyes again and lay back down.
The corners of Zhou Chuan's mouth twitched as he looked coldly at the frail and white teenager on the bed.
Zhou Chuan had grown up following his father and was used to seeing people in the business world who spoke like human beings but acted like ghosts.
Even if they were perfect victims, when they heard the name of the Zhou family, a look of shock and surprise would appear on their faces to a greater or lesser extent.
Xia Qing Shu had absolutely none. Not only was he not worried that he was dying, nor was he afraid of the Zhou family, nor did he ever waver at the temptation of money, he really looked like a confused and comatose patient.
He was not a little white lotus. On the contrary, he is very good at judging the situation and using his advantages to protect himself. It was the first time he had met such an interesting person.
"Qing Shu, Qing Shu, what's wrong with you?" Li Xiao daughter-in-law's eyes barred tears as soon as she entered the ward. Xia Lao Er followed behind his wife and rushed to Xia Qing Shu, grabbing the doctor for a moment to shake him.
After learning what had happened, Xia Lao Er changed his image of cowardice at home and cursed at Zhou Chuan.
"Who the hell are you? You beat my son up like this! Aah! Aah! Aah!"
"I don't want any money from you, so get out of here! I'll make the man who beat up my son go to jail!!!"
Xia Qing Shu: Dad is awesome, I have to use him to squeeze out lot of money!
Chapter 13
Xia Lao Er shouted at Zhou Chuan and the lawyer, murderous anger and spittle flying. If he had a knife in his hand, he might have thrown it at them. It was only when the medical staff reminded him to keep his voice down and not to disturb the patient that he calmed down a little.
Only then did Xia Qingshu realise that the man who usually acted like a coward at home as if a grandson, was so rigid and manly when his family was in trouble.
If not for the bad timing, he would have wanted to wave the flag for Xia Lao Er.
Xia Qing Shu secretly thought to himself, he had finally known how to make Xia Lao Er and Old Man Xia break off their relationship once and for all.
Zhou Chuan picked up his gold-rimmed glasses and calmly took two steps back, gesturing for his lawyer to come forward.
Xia Qing Shu was simply unable to communicate, and his parents were the best people to communicate with, despite their crankiness.
The lawyer withstood Xia Lao Er's storm of verbal abuse and said loudly, "Sir, please calm down, I am my client's lawyer. What has happened has already happened, there is no use cursing anymore, let's settle down and discuss Xia Qing Shu's subsequent treatment."
"Old man, I will sell my iron and house to cure my son, I don't need your fake kindness." Xia Lao Er picked up the broom and tried to shoo him out the door.
The lawyer revealed his identity, "Mr. Xia, do you know about the big Zhou family?"
Xia Lao Er said in a low mumble, "Yes. What's the matter with the Zhou family?"
Seeing Xia Lao Er's appearance, the lawyer had a good idea, "My client is from the Zhou family."
The Chen, Zhou, He and Xia families were the four main families in the city, with the Chen family at the head and the Zhou family being one of them, ranked second.
During the Republican era, the Zhou family had started out by running a newspaper and was now involved in the nation's media industry. A notorious media tycoon in the industry, the Zhou family's reputation had reached the point where it was considered a household name.
Xia Lao Er's face changed with the naked eye, and his original arrogance seemed to be doused by a pot of water.
As the saying goes, people do not fight with the powerful. If they have money and power, they can use it to kill you.
Xia Lao Er is almost fifty years old and has been in the underclass for so many years that it is impossible for him not to know these rules.
A young man in their production team was beaten half to death by a man in the county, and his family refused to compromise. In less than a year, someone in the production team saw the assailant bouncing in a disco, and the young man's family went to ask for an explanation, but it was said that the assailant had done well in prison and his sentence was reduced, and he was now on parole.
Xia Lao Er knows the dangers of society. He had no power and was afraid that his impulsiveness would delay his son's best treatment. After learning that the assailant was from the Zhou family, he was instantly hesitant.
"So what about the Zhou family, ah, so what, the Zhou family can get away with beating people up?!"
Yelling out these words, Xia Lao Er's aura weakened by at least fifty percent, "You rich people are not allowed, great, I give you this, you must cure my son, or I will sacrifice this old life to fight to the end ......"
If not for Xia Lao Er propped up on the side of the bed, he might have already given the other side a knee.
The lawyer's heart was clear, now was the best time to negotiate.
Xia Qing Shu saw that Xia Lao Er was bluffed. Weak willow like, he pulled the hem of Xia Lao Er's coat.
Li Xiao: "Husband, don't argue, Qing Shu has something to say."
Xia Qingshu's eyelids fluttered, tears like broken beads, snapping downward, "Dad, you calm down, don't do something stupid for me ......"
"..... Mum and Dad, my biggest regret in this life is that I can't honor you, if there is an afterlife, I will be your child again, I will eat well, never get sick again, and not let you worry about me ......"
"Woooo ...... Thank you mum and dad for raising me ......"
As it turns out, good-looking people not only look good when they cry, they are also very infectious.
When Xia Qing Shu cried, Xia Lao Er and his wife also followed suit and shed tears.

Xia Lao Er is uneducated and does not know what brain stem injury is, and through his observations of the doctors and police, he thought Xia Qing Shu was going to die.
Although Xia Qing Shu is not his biological son, but after so many years of affection, Xia Lao Er's only thought is to fight for the other.
In his last moments, he could not be weak, he has to be a brave and strong father in front of Qing Shu.
Xia Lao Er got the broom and swung it towards the lawyer, "Get out of here! Crawl! Immediately! Right now!"
"If you don't leave, I'll spit on you!"
Only when the two of them had been driven away did Xia Lao Er feel a little smoother.
Xia Qing Shu lay down on his bed and gave a silent "yay", then opened his mobile phone and started browsing the latest property information, it was time for Xia Lao Er to get a new car.

Zhou Qian spent the night in a detention cell. The conditions in the detention cell were so poor that it almost killed him to stay in the stuffy, hot and smelly cell.
Zhou's mother was so worried that she didn't sleep a wink and sent Zhou Chuan to the police station early in the morning to pick him up. Zhou Chuan asked the police to take Zhou Qian to the hospital on the pretext that Zhou Qian should apologise to Xia Qing Shu.
Zhou Qian was still handcuffed when he got into the car.
Zhou Qian, no matter how arrogant he was, was only in his teens and after a night of torture, most of the sharp thorns on his body were worn away. When he saw Zhou Chuan, it was like he had grabbed a lifeline, "Brother, I want to take a shower."
Zhou Chuan gave him a look, "Bear with it and go to the hospital first."
Zhou Chuan knew this brother of his very well, although he did something ridiculous, he was not a fool, on the contrary, Zhou Qian was smart enough to know how to use his advantage and bully his victims, this was the first time that something as simple and brutal as this crazy temptation at the edge of the law had happened.
"Say, what's going on?" It was the first time the two brothers had communicated since this incident happened.
Zhou Qian filled a bottle of ice water, briefly washed his face, and told him what happened, "Brother, the last stomach wash was so hard."
Zhou Chuan frowned, "Having suffered once, you should be more vigilant!"
"Brother, it was urgent, because of Xia Qing Shu, Yu Bin's student representative role was cancelled." Zhou Qian recalled the scene and gritted his teeth, "He made a post and caused me and Yu Bin to be scolded, if I don't give him some credit, he would think I'm easy to mess with."
It was Xia Yubin again. Zhou Chuan pinched his brow.
Every time Zhou Qian did something ridiculous, there was more or less the shadow of Xia Yubin. The two were sworn friends, but Xia Yubin was always a good student and a good boy in front of the adults, and his brother was the bad guy.
The bad things were all on Zhou Qian alone, and it was Xia Yubin who was able to take himself out of the all situation.
"In future, hang out less with Xia Yubin." Zhou Chuan warned.
"Why?" Zhou Qian asked.
"You both want revenge on Xia Qing Shu, and he's a little more eager than you." Zhou Chuan snorted coldly, "You spent the whole night in the detention room, didn't sleep all night, and our family is facing huge compensation. He slept well at home in the air conditioning all night, what kind of new age deadly friendship is this?!"
Faced with his brother's mockery, Zhou Qian wanted to retort, but opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
～
There were three or four students in the hospital ward, among them Xia Yubin, who had come with his classmates to visit Xia Qing Shu. The class president had bought a lot of supplements and the class notes.
Zhou Qian was led by the police and stood in the doorway. He looked a mess, his hair was wet with sweat, greasy in bunches, and he smelt of sweat. A completely different look from the shiny young master he used to be.

Xia Yubin was wearing a crisp T-shirt and was surrounded by his classmates.
Zhou Qian was brought in by the police, his hands still handcuffed. When he saw Zhou Qian looking over, Xia Yubin quickly averted his eyes, as if the two had never known each other.
Zhou Qian glanced at his "brother" and frowned.
Xia Qing Shu was annoyed at the sight of Xia Yubin and was deliberately ignoring him. He didn't have many friends at school and these students didn't have much to say to him, so he put down his fruit and tonic and waited for them to leave.
When the other students went out first, Xia Yubin quietly approached Zhou Qian, and in a corner where no one could see him, he shouted in a low voice, "Qian."
Xia Yubin deliberately pressed his voice with a pleading tone.
Zhou Qian knew that Xia Yubin wanted to stay out of this matter and did not want to be involved. Ever since they were young, they had always gotten along in this way.
Zhou Qian hadn't felt anything wrong before, but now he suddenly found that he seemed like this was a backstabber.
Pushed by the police, Zhou Qian came back to his senses, remembered his purpose today, walked to the hospital bed and said, seemingly sincerely, "Xia Qing Shu, I'm sorry, please forgive me. I will never bully you again, and we will bear all your medical expenses and will pay extra compensation."
Xia Qing Shu opened his eyes "weakly" and glanced at Zhou Qian. His eyes were unfocused, and he didn't know if he had seen clearly, and kept staring at Zhou Qian for almost two minutes before closing his eyes again.
There was breathlessness, as if a sapling that had experienced the wind and rain, and would die at any moment.
Zhou Qian was startled, "Brother, what's wrong with him?"
Zhou Qian panicked a little, he did not expect Xia Qing Shu to be this miserable, he only wanted to get back at him, he did not want him to die.
Zhou Chuan: "He's unconscious."
Zhou Qian finally realised the seriousness of the situation and repeated his apology in a slightly sincere manner.
Xia Qingshu opened his eyes and let out another dry heave.
The "unconsciousness" just now was an act, but this "dry heaving" was a normal reaction of the body.
Xia Qing Shu frowned.
He had always thought that the dry heaving and dizziness were stress reactions to being scared. Now that he was out of danger, his head was no longer dizzy, but why was he still nauseous.
Not only was he dry heaving now, he also felt weak and didn't want to eat.
Oh, no, he wanted to eat oranges, the sour kind.
After vomiting several times, Xia Qing Shu could barely opened his eyes and asked in a daze, "Compensation? What reparations?"
Zhou Qian glanced at Zhou Chuan, and then at the civilian police officer beside him. Zhou Chuan gestured for him to speak at ease, they had communicated with the civilian police officer beforehand.
Zhou Qian: "We will bear all of your medical expenses and pay an additional one million, but we need you to sign the letter of understanding."
One million?
You can't get rid of all those bastard things you've done for a million!
He was almost scared to death!
He wasn't greedy for money, he mainly felt that one million was not painful enough for Zhou Qian to make him deeply aware of his mistakes and that he would commit them again in the future.

Xia Qing Shu blinked and asked to the civilian police officer standing next to him, "Missing? What's missing?"
After saying that, he once again weakly "passed out".
Civilian Police: "......"
I didn't say a fucking thing.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door of the ward, and everyone looked at the sound, but it was Chen Zhiyu.
"Zhiyu, what brings you here?"
Zhou Chuan and Chen Zhiyu were considered to be of the same age, and they both came from similar families and grew up together. Although Zhou Chuan's relationship with him was not as ironclad as Xia Shan's, it was quite passable.
Zhou Qian instantly became serious. Chen Zhiyu had always been an existence that they looked up to among the four of their families. Not only was he a great businessman, but he also had a harsh, vindictive and unforgiving style in his private life.
The children of the family were careful when they met him, fearing that they would be screwed if they accidentally offended him.
In private, they regarded Chen Zhiyu with eight big words – [Those who obey me will prosper and those who disobey me will die].
It was the best interpretation of his actions.
"Visiting a patient." Chen Zhiyu ignored the prying eyes of the onlookers and gestured for Secretary Li to put the tonic on the bedside table.
"You and Xia have a friendship?" At Chen Zhiyu's sudden arrival, Zhou Chuan did not dare to take it lightly.
"There was a one-night encounter." Chen Zhiyu pulled a bench and sat at the head of the bed.
Xia Qingshu's eyelids jumped when he heard his words.
"Do you remember me?" Chen Zhiyu leaned forward and put his face in front of Xia Qingshu.
Xia Qingshu's small face instantly turned white as he could even feel the other party's slightly minty breath because he was so close.
He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly.
"I do." Xia Qingshu woke up from the "coma" and nodded slightly.
"It means that I must have left a deep impression on you."
Chen Zhiyu felt that Xia Qingshu was like a cat, looking weak and beautiful, as if everyone could pet him, but if he was not careful, he could be scratched. And after scratching, he will still look at you eagerly, as if nothing happened.
He had Xia Qingshu's examination report taken to some experts and it read – "suspected" brain stem injury, but not confirmed.
He came to the hospital last night, and saw Xia Qingshu secretly shoving noodles into his mouth by the mobile phone torch. He didn't know if it was because the soup was too hot or too spicy, but he ate it while grimacing and blowing, his lips glowing brightly unlike a seriously ill patient.
This nasty little fool could even lie? !
Like a cat, Chen Zhiyu nodded on Xia Qingshu's hand, "Then tell me, who am I?"
After he finished speaking, he turned on his phone, showing a candid photo of Xia Qingshu eating noodles and shook it in front of him, and quickly closed it.
Xia Qingshu: "..."
He is very hungry these days, and he likes to eat foods with unique tastes that he would not normally eat.
Sponsored Content
He woke up hungry in the middle of the night last night and couldn't help soaking a packet of powder. He didn't expect it to be photographed.
Which CEO didn't sleep at midnight and went to the door of the ward to peep at people?!
Spiteful!
This surnamed Chen knows that he is not seriously ill.
Xia Qingshu sucked in his breath and through the little nose he said in a low voice, "...You are...brother."
Chen Zhiyu raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, turned his head and asked, "What were you here for?"
Zhou Chuan: "Aqian came to apologize to Xia, I hope Xia will forgive him."
Zhou Chuan didn't know what the relationship between Chen Zhiyu and Xia Qingshu was, but if Chen Zhiyu could make a special trip with a gift, the relationship between the two should not be easy.
Chen Zhiyu let out an "oh" and suddenly realized, "You want to compensate."
After speaking, he turned towards Xia Qingshu again, "How much do you want him to pay?"
The tone is quite a bit supportive of Xia Qingshu.
Xia Qingshu didn't think that after the two slept together once, Chen Zhiyu would treat him differently. Moreover, he was rambunctious and refused to accept the account.
If Chen Zhiyu knew that he was pretending to be slow and playing stupid, it is estimated that he would die miserably.
Xia Qingshu didn't want to get too involved with him.
After all, in the original book, he was treated so badly by Chen Zhiyu, and Chen Zhiyu was not a good person.
He didn't know why, Chen Zhiyu always came to him and did some strange things. He would not be so naïve as to think that Chen Zhiyu came just to help him.
Xia Qingshu pursed his lips, did not say a word, and looked timid, like a frightened deer.
"Turn around." Chen Zhiyu waved his hand, the policeman and the Zhou brothers were stunned for a while, then turned their backs.
"Tell me how much they want to pay." Chen Zhiyu approached him and whispered in his ear, "I'm here so, they won't dare try to cheat."
Xia Qingshu stared with wide eyes, and a glimmer of "admiration" flashed in his eyes.
This flash of light was sharply captured by Chen Zhiyu, who smiled lightly. The little fool has been lying weakly on the hospital bed, and his arrival made him see the light.
"Brother, this much," Xia Qingshu stretched out his hand tremblingly, spread his fingers apart, and added in a low voice, "I want cash."
After his eyes stayed on those fair little hands for a few seconds, Chen Zhiyu felt that the smell of milk on the other's palm was so strong that it almost covered the smell of lemon on his hair.
Five white and delicate fingers, like snow-white milk bars.
He suddenly felt that this kind of scent was not as annoying as before, but he was reluctant to accept it
Chen Zhiyu said to the other three, "Okay, turn around."
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Chen Zhiyu said in a tone as if buying Chinese cabbage, "Pay 50 million, and that's it."
Xia Qingshu: "..."
Chapter 14
Fifty million?!"
Not only the two brothers Zhou Chuan and Zhou Qian, but even the police felt incredible.
Generally, the civil compensation is 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. 50 million should be highest ever for a civil compensation.
Zhou Chuan laughed, the surprise and smile on his face were just right, "Brother Zhiyu, I haven't heard you joking for a long time."
"No kidding." Chen Zhiyu was surprised, "Isn't it only fifty million? Why is it like five billion in your eyes?"
He paused, his face showing a strange expression, "Why, the business situation of the Zhou family has not been very ——"
Although Chen Zhiyu, like them, is a descendant of an aristocratic family, the people he usually comes into contact with are their parents or grandfathers. For them, Chen Zhiyu has a very sense of distance, because he is an old fox.
In the circle, Xia Shan and Chen Zhiyu have a good relationship. Two years ago, Xia Shan followed him to invest in a small project and earned a small amount of hundreds of millions in half a year.
50 million is really nothing to Chen Zhiyu, who is worth hundreds of billions. He just bought a private jet with a starting point of one billion. He even felt that Xia Qingshu was asking for little. If he was beaten, he would directly bankrupt the other party.
This little fool, acting so much for a mere five million.
Zhou Chuan saw Chen Zhiyu being so polite to people for the first time, and Xia Qingshu looks like that, could it be...
Zhou Chuan glanced at Xia Qingshu lying on the bed again, the more he looked, the more beautiful he became, and Chen Zhiyu's care for him was a little too special.
Certainly so.
Zhou Chuan was very sure of his own thoughts. Although 50 million may seem like a lot, if you can catch up with Chen Zhiyu through Xia Qingshu, you will definitely earn more than 50 million.
The expression on Zhou Chuan's face turned a few times, and his perfunctory attitude suddenly disappeared, as if he really recognized his mistake and wanted to make up for it.
"I haven't officially taken over the management of the family, not like Brother Zhiyu," Zhou said. "I've always wanted to ask Brother Zhiyu for some business advice. I wonder when Brother Zhiyu is free?"
Chen Zhiyu glanced at Xia Qingshu, who was lying on the bed, "on the verge of dying", "His matter has not been resolved."
The implication is that 50 million is given. Discussions can only commence after the payment.
"I'll call to make arrangements right away. With this money, I can still call the shots." Zhou Chuan laughed. "We also cover the follow-up treatment for Xia. I will arrange a nurse immediately to take care of Xia throughout the process."
Zhou Qian's eyes froze with fright. Brother, what's with this price? HE didn't touch him, but he would have to pay 50 million? !
Is he studded with diamonds?!
"..."
Xia Qingshu was dizzy.

Just two words...Fifty million?
Are you sure it's not Vietnamese Dong, Korean Won, and Japanese Yen?
At first, he was worried that Chen Zhiyu the lion would open his mouth, which scared the big buddha away, and let him draw water in a bamboo basket but he was really helpful.
Zhou Chuan's face was a little stiff, and Zhou Qian's face was completely black. If Zhou Chuan had not held him tightly in private, he would have jumped up and started scolding.
Zhou Jiahao is rich and true, even if he pays 50 million yuan, it will not hurt his bones.
But the Zhou family is not stupid. If everyone came to the lion to speak up, and with the speed of Zhou Qian's misdeeds, ten Zhou families would not be enough to pay.
At this time, Zhou Chuan, had several thoughts flashing in his mind
Chen Zhiyu said two words,and as a result the other party will immediately pay 50 million yuan, and his attitude has changed greatly.
Xia Qingshu glanced at Chen Zhiyu, as if he saw the words "wealth code" on his face.
Xia Qingshu estimated that the Zhou family could pay up to 5 million by his own tossing, and if he got 50 million with the help of Chen Zhiyu, he would owe Chen Zhiyu a huge favor.
In the original book, Chen Zhiyu is the biggest villain, not only rich, but also insidious. He could fight against Xia Yubin's harem by himself, and if he gets involved with him, he will be killed or injured.
Although 50 million is good, it is still a question whether it can be safe. In the face of money, Xia Qingshu decisively chose life.
Xia Qingshu "weakly" pulled Chen Zhiyu's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, fifty million is a lot."
Chen Zhiyu said with a smile, "Not much, they can afford it.
Then he said to the two brothers of the Zhou family, "Look, I don't even dare to ask for money for beating the child like this."
Saying that, he lovingly touched Xia Qingshu's hairy head, "He wasn't very smart in the first place, but now it's even more serious."
Xia Qingshu: "..."
Can you please leave, I only want my five million.
However, Xia Qingshu couldn't do anything, only blinked his big eyes and was forced to accept Chen Zhiyu's "help".
Listening to Zhou Chuan and Chen Zhiyu saying a few words, Xia Qingshu quickly turned his little head, and also came up with some ideas: Zhou Chuan thought he had an unspeakable relationship with Chen Zhiyu, and wanted to use him to pick up the big tree of Chen Zhiyu.
He dared to take Zhou Chuan as a buddha, only for Zhou Chuan regarded him as a tool to climb the "wealth code".
Xia Qingshu remembered Chen Zhiyu's ascetic character design. In the book, Chen Zhiyu has many people who like him because of his appearance and family background. Almost every day, people "ran into" with him, "accidentally" spilled coffee, black tea, red wine, etc. on his clothes, ran too quickly "accidentally" jumped into his arms...
Almost every time they go out, the bodyguards will catch a lot of "admirers".

Chen Zhiyu really hates these "admirers". Once the company finds people with such signs, they will all be fired, and Chen's enterprise will never hire them. The whole company knows that President Chen Zhiyu is abstinent and cold, and that men and women should not get close to him.
Chen Zhiyu will never be friends with people who think about him.
Xia Qingshu didn't want to die, but he hoped to draw a clear line with Chen Zhiyu. He thought about it and whispered to Chen Zhiyu, "Brother, I have something to tell you.
Chen Zhiyu: "Speak."
"It's a whisper." Xia Qingshu pursed his lips, and his cheeks quietly climbed a little blush. He shrunk under the quilt, revealing a small white face.
The little mouth pouted slightly, and the eyes drooped, like a little stray puppy holding a sign "for adoption".
Xia Qingshu just wanted to pretend to be pitiful. But he didn't know that his appearance, coupled with his pitiful expression, has a sense of sight that "the wind destroys the flowers, you pick them up".
Especially the small mole at the end of the eye, which seems to be alive, scratches people's hearts.
Zhou Qian was stunned, his mouth was half-open, his heart was beating wildly.
Chen Zhiyu had to stand up in front of Xia Qingshu, "Please wait outside, everyone."
Zhou Qian stood still, Chen Zhiyu squinted at him, "What? 50 million is not enough to learn a lesson? Do you want to add more?"
Zhou Chuan feared the iron and pulled Zhou Qian out of the ward.
"Fifty million, the child wants cash." Chen Zhiyu stared at the Zhou Chuan brothers and went out, "I'll give you three hours."
Zhou Qian was dragged out of the room by Zhou Chuan, and the young master became angry again, but in front of Zhou Chuan, he did not dare to be too presumptuous, "Brother, my arm hurts."
Zhou Chuan lowered his voice and snorted, "You still know pain, I see your eyes sticking to Xia Qingshu."
Zhou Qian twitched the corners of his mouth with a smile, "Brother, you know my hobbies."
He likes weak and beautiful boys, and Xia Qingshu grows according to his tastes. He is so delicate and weak that he can be kneaded into various poses when held in his arms.
Zhou Chuan whispered, "That's not someone you can get your hands on."
Zhou Qian was in a hurry and his voice was a little louder: "Why?!"
He has already lost 50 million, and he still hasn't tasted any sweetness. Next time, he must be fully prepared to make it difficult for Xia Qingshu to fly.
Zhou Chuan glanced sideways at the ward, and made a word "Chen" with his mouth.
Zhou Qian came back to his senses, "You said Chen Zhiyu and Xia Qingshu?!"
"Impossible!" Isn't Chen Zhiyu claiming that men and women should stay away, last time he was joking with Xia Yubin, Chen Zhiyu either had the X function not working, or he was an eunuch, how can anyone in their twenties be a virgin.

But if the two of them really had something to do with each other, then Chen Zhiyu's sudden appearance, it would make sense.
And Xia Qingshu just looked like that, even if the Buddha was alive, it would be difficult to resist his temptation.
This little bitch is hooking up everywhere.
Zhou Qian looked like he couldn't eat, and his heart was like a knife. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, but thinking of Chen Zhiyu's methods, he could only sigh bitterly.
Zhou Chuan patted him on the shoulder: "We can't give 50 million in vain. I will inform the Xia family. Xia Yubin also has a share in this matter. We are half to blame."
Zhou Qian opened his mouth to defend himself, but he didn't say a word.
~
After the people in the way left, only Xia Qingshu and Chen Zhiyu were left in the ward.
"Let's talk." After Chen Zhiyu finished speaking, he glanced at Xia Qingshu inexplicably.
Xia Qingshu's cheeks were stained with two blushes, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she half bit her lips.
Beauty matters.
Chen Zhiyu paused in his heart, touched his nose, and coughed, "What's the matter?"
"Brother, in fact, I have someone I like very, very much." Xia Qingshu held his chest with both hands, looking like a young deer cherishing spring.
He glanced at Chen Zhiyu quickly, and lowered his eyes quickly.
The long eyelashes like crow feathers cover the eyes, but they can't cover the sprouting infatuation in them. Although he didn't say it clearly, it was self-evident who he liked.
"Who is that?" Chen Zhiyu also acted stupid with him and glanced at him inadvertently.
After seeing Xia Qingshu eating noodles with his own eyes, he concluded that the little fool was acting, but now that the traces of Xia Qingshu's performance were so obvious, he thought it was Xia Qingshu's true feelings.
Instead of playing "Hard-to-get ", he decided to play straight ball instead?
"I won't tell you." Xia Qingshu bit her fingernails with a guilty look on her face.
"Then why did you tell me this?" Chen Zhiyu asked again.
"I'm afraid that if I die, no one will know."
After Xia Qingshu finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Chen Zhiyu again, and then lowered his head shyly.
Sponsored Content
Goosebumps were all over his body.
"The person who is about to die, still eats spicy food?" Chen Zhiyu opened the phone and showed the photo again.
In the photo, Xia Qingshu is holding a paper bowl, face is covered in sweat, her face is flushed, and she looks very good.
Even the powder is beautiful.
Xia Qingshu: "..."
I don't know why the other party keeps holding on to his fuss, he pursed his lips and said quickly and anxiously,
"That is my favorite food. If I die, I won't be able to eat it any more. Before I die, I tried to eat it again incase I never got the chance to again."
This logic is also hard core.
Chen Zhiyu: "..."
Forget it, let's reveal this first. Chen Zhiyu took a deep breath and continued the previous topic,
"How much do you like him?"
Xia Qingshu tilted his head and thought for a while, and pursed his lips: "For him, my marriage contract with my childhood friend Xia Sang has been ruined."
This is the true. He not only regretted his marriage, but also gave up his right to inherit a knighthood. He paid a lot for this relationship unilaterally.
Xia Qingshu was almost moved by himself.
"Xia Sang?" Chen Zhiyu's tone changed suddenly, "When did you have a marriage contract?"
"That's all over." Xia Qingshu turned into a literary youth, squinting.
"..."
Neither of the two spoke, and there was only silence in the huge ward.
There is also the faint milky fragrance wrapped in lime flavor, lingering on the tip of his nose.
Chen Zhiyu half-closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about. When Xia Qingshu felt that he would slam the door and leave, when Chen Zhiyu suddenly stood up and said deeply,
"I allow you to like me."
The index finger wiped his nose, and the lemon milk smell seemed to be reluctant to disappear.
Xia Qingshu: "..."
He said that he will hate and stay away from people who like him, what's this situation?!
Chapter 15
Zhou Qian was full of anger, and as soon as he went out, he met Xia Yubin. Xia Yubin was at the entrance of the inpatient department, not knowing who he was waiting for.
Seeing Zhou Qian, Xia Yubin greeted him with a smile, "Qian, are you alright, I'm so worried about you."
He looked Zhou Qian up and down and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, I didn't sleep all night worryied."
Seeing the red marks on Zhou Qian's wrist by the handcuffs, his eyes turned red again, "Qian, You were bullied in detention? How could they do that!"
Zhou Qian was stinking, tired and hungry. At this time, he just wanted to go home. He was a little unhappy in his words, "Why did you pretend you didn't know me in the ward just now?"
"Qian, I'm afraid that Xia Qingshu will be suspicious." Xia Yubin seemed to have already thought about his words, and he didn't stop talking, "I know he is the type you like. If he finds out that we know each other, it will be difficult to make an appointment next time. Qian, I'm thinking of you, if you think what I've done before is too much, I can now follow you back to the ward and talk to you in front of Xia Qingshu."
As Xia Yubin said that, he was about to take Zhou Qian back to the ward.
Zhou Qian shook off his hand, "No need, I believe you."
He used to think that Xia Yubin was simple and kind, but after being reminded by his brother, he suddenly realized. Xia Yubin's seemingly caring words did not actually help at all, and instead wanted to take himself out.
"Qian, I will definitely help you." Xia Yubin said.
Zhou Qian frowned, "Why are you helping me? You obviously hated him and brought him to me."
It was the same since the past. Several of his ex-boyfriends were brought to him by Xia Yubin "inadvertently". Those boys are either better than Xia Yubin, or they are more prominent than Xia Yubin in one way.
Of course, after becoming his little boyfriend, they will become inferior to Xia Yubin. Otherwise, how could Xia Yubin, whose appearance can only be regarded as mediocre, become the school grass.
If it wasn't for Xia Yubin, he wouldn't have known that there was someone like Xia Qingshu. Although based on Xia Qingshu's appearance, he would have found out sooner or later, but Xia Yubin took the initiative to bring him.
Xia Yubin paused, he did not expect Zhou Qian to say such a thing. No matter what he did in the past, Zhou Qian would take the initiative to take the blame. After meeting Xia Qingshu, Zhou Qian also changed.
But this little thing didn't bother him at all.
Xia Yubin's eyes were full of tears, and the expression on his face was precise, as if he shared Zhou Qian's sadness, and could not wait to suffer on his behalf.

"I'm sorry, Qian, it's my mistake, Xia Qingshu has always been stupid, I can tell you like him at a glance, righg? I Know that he was acting stupid which caused us to have gastric lavage, and now you are detained."
Hearing the words "stomach lavage" and "detention", Zhou Qian's heart ignited again, "I will kill him sooner or later."
Seeing Zhou Qian's appearance, Xia Yubin breathed a sigh of relief, "Qian, I will help you."
Zhou Qian glanced at him and said, "Xia Qingshu has to be compensated fifty million yuan for medical expenses. If your family pays half of it, even if you help me, I won't mention you."
Xia Yubin was shocked: "Why do you pay so much?"
Zhou Qian remembered Zhou Chuan's words, but did not say Zhou Chuan's plan, "He has brain stem damage and is dying."
"You don't need to pay so much even if you die?" Xia Yubin was a little anxious: "He was fine when I went to see him just now. Did he lie to him, he looks stupid, but in fact..."
Zhou Qian was a little impatient, and turned around to leave, "Don't talk, I'm going home."
He wants to go home quickly, take a shower, sleep and eat. After such a big incident, even if his parents dote on him again, he will be scolded. All his pocket money has been confiscated, and the sports car he just bought is gone.
Oh, it's annoying to think about.
It was all Xia Qingshu's fault, oh no, Xia Yubin would also bear half of it.
Zhou Qian had just taken two steps when he found that the corner of his clothes was being held by Xia Yubin.
Xia Yubin frowned, and raised his head with pity, "Qian, you know about my family's situation, I..."
In the past, when Xia Yubin made such an expression, Zhou Qian would have already softened his heart.
It's just that he has seen Xia Qingshu's pitiful appearance, and he now sees that Xia Yubin is very pretentious.
He has not eaten nor slept all day, and he is still tired and flustered. At this moment, his patience was gone, "What's wrong with being the adopted son, they have raised you for more than ten years. Your almost twenty years, but still so emotional, only 25 million, your Xia family can't afford it?"
"Qian..." Xia Yubin stretched out his hand, but Zhou Qian had already walked away quickly.

Zhou Qian wouldn't lie to him, why did he pay so much? Fifty million is enough to buy Xia Qingshu ten lives.
Xia Yubin watched Zhou Qian get into the private car, and he turned back to the ward.
Xia Qingshu is in a single ward, the door is closed, and the curtains are blinds, which are half closed. He walked cautiously to the window and looked in through the half-opened shutters.
Xia Qingshu was lying on the bed, and Chen Zhiyu was sitting beside the bed.
Xia Qingshu had a look of spring, and he didn't know what he was talking about. Chen Zhiyu looked away, and the two were talking back and forth.
He was very familiar with Chen Zhiyu in his last life. Chen Zhiyu has a strange personality, and he will not have the patience for unfamiliar people and things.
This situation now shows that he has a close relationship with Xia Qingshu.
And Xia Qingshu was ill, Chen Zhiyu should have taken the initiative to visit.
Xia Yubin clenched his fists with both hands, his face pale. He took a deep breath and told himself not to panic. It was the same in his previous life. Xia Qingshu tried to get involved with Chen Zhiyu, but Chen Zhiyu killed him.
In two more months, Xia Qingshu will be dead. When he dies, the world will go back to the way it was.

Zhou Chuan took the Xia Laoer to get the money.
50 million in cash, a full 550 kilograms, equivalent to the weight of ten adults. Xia Lao Er and Li Xiao invited several relatives at home, drove five cars, and spent most of the day before finally depositing all the money in the bank.
There was an extra 50 million in the bankbook. When Xia Lao Er walks, he was always in a state of flying.
After the money arrived, he thought he was dreaming, so he made a video call to Xia Qingshu, "Miao, Miao cub, fif-fif-fifty million?"
His face trembled, stuttering like a repeater.
"Dad, there is a lot to do." After the money arrived, Xia Qingshu's illness was more than half cured, and he was able to sit up immediately, "Come back quickly and discharge me from the hospital."

"Discharged...discharged from the hospital? Miao miao, you can't give up treatment!" Xia Lao Er snorted and cried, "The money is all yours, it's all for your treatment."
"Dad, I'm in good health, that's for mental damage."
"How much spirit can lose fifty million?"
"The moon is so big, come back soon, our *** relatives are here!"
The fact that Xia Qingshu received 50 million in spiritual compensation was soon known to his family. Before Xia Lao Er arrived at the hospital, Uncle Xia's family came to visit.
The eldest aunt was carrying a plastic bag in her hand. He didn't know what was in it. XiaSang had cut his hair short, and the second cousin didn't have his hair permed. The whole family was in good spirits.
"Qingshu, I brought you supplements." The aunt's expression was soaring, "This is a good thing that Xia Sang brought back from the company, and most people can't buy it if they want to."
Xia Qingshu took the bag and saw that it was all gifts from the supermarket, and it was the kind of stock with a shelf life of only one week. The average person really couldn't buy it. If you buy it, you can't smash the supermarket.
Isn't the second cousin not working?
He looked up, and the aunt looked like a peacock that opened its feathers at any time, with a look of "My son has found a job, come and ask me quickly".
The second cousin has wax oil on his head, like a high-quality male who is popular on the Internet. He wore a golden watch on his hand, and in just three minutes, he had already checked the time several times.
Apart from not burning his head, the second cousin was still the same. After entering the ward, without being greeted, he spontaneously picked up the supplements on the table and started to eat.
Xia Qingshu shouted to the second cousin, "Smecta."
"Yo, Smecta, Yi-Nei! Baa!!" Xia Qingshu waved his hand to his second cousin playfully, and gestured earnestly, "Ah, Xiba."
"Did he turn silly at the thought of fifty million." The eldest aunt thought of the number "fifty", unable to stop the trembling at the end.
"Yours, Big Stick's, Alaso?"

Xia Qing Shu saw that the eldest uncle's family looked puzzled and he was even more puzzled himself, "Don't you have *** blood? How come you can't understand it?"
The eldest uncle jumped in anxiety, "Who said that?! I am the most proper heir of the Xia family!"
He had managed to appease old man Xia before he was able to continue gnawing on the old man, he must not let Xia Qing Shu stir up the pot again.
"Eldest uncle, the paternity test report is all out, your real father is definitely **, your family is all ***."
Xia Qing Shu pointed at his second cousin who was drinking his stuff and eating a biscuit, "Look, even my ward is treated as his own home, he's stealing my food again."
Xia Sang slapped his brother on the back of the head and showed the gold watch he was holding, "My monthly salary is two thousand three hundred eighty-five and two yuan. When I put it all in my bag and it bulges up so big that our whole family can't even use it, do we need to steal your food?
Xia Qing Shu: "......"
Two thousand three hundred and eighty-five and two yuan ...... Is it necessary to remember so clearly?
"Then what are you doing here?"
The elder cousin dug in his pocket for half a day and pulled out an absent-minded red rose: "I, now that I'm working as a supervisor in Dafaicai, today, I am here to propose a marriage to you."
Xia Sang, the first cousin, had found a job and was considered a half decent person, and he was the first son of the Xia family. At this time, he was still willing to accept Xia Qing Shu, wouldn't Xia Qing Shu be moved to tears of joy.
Instead of shedding tears of joy, Xia Qing Shu was so amused that he rolled back and forth on the bed several times.
"I would like to ask how many years of earning two thousand three hundred and eighty-five and two yuan a month would it take to have fifty million dollars."
Xia San: "......"
Xia Qing Shu: "The answer is 1746.88 years. Borrowing another five hundred years from the sky wouldn't be enough."
"I, a multi-millionaire. How can I possibly look at a big rich manager mm."
"For the record, I'm not looking down on getting rich, I'm just looking down on you."
