C140 You Are My Stepdaughter Too?

"Right?" Jiang Manqing laughed mockingly, "If Yueran did not die, you would be penniless and become a beggar. I would be satisfied, but you should not have taken Yueran's life! Now... I will make you wish you were dead!"

" What are you doing? " Shen Mingxi did not expect Jiang Manqing to come to her ward so late at night to do something to her. Seeing the black shadow getting closer to her, her heart unconsciously ignited a touch of fear.

It was fear!

Shen Mingxi had never been afraid of Jiang Manqing, nor was she afraid of death.

However, she would not be willing to die in Jiang Manqing's hands even if she died here!

Seeing Shen Mingxi struggling to retreat, Jiang Manqing stretched out her hand. Like a devil, she approached the bed and said faintly, "Don't be afraid. This little thing will only make you feel comfortable. I can't take your life yet. Besides... How can I bear to take your life? At least, you're my stepdaughter, aren't you?"

Something?

Shen Mingxi opened her eyes wide in fear and only then did she notice that Jiang Manqing seemed to be holding onto something white in her hand.

"What is that?" Jiang Manqing's faint voice only made Shen Mingxi's thoughts become even more chaotic. She completely did not know what the thing in her hand was. Shen Mingxi used the strength to dodge. Even she could clearly feel that she seemed to have been restricted by something. She became very tight on her food.

"I don't need to waste any more effort to escape"

Shen Mingxi dodged backwards and Jiang Manqing was already leaning on the edge of the bed. Her cold laughter was like a thread, "You will soon have no strength. Before you wake up, I have already given you some good food!"

As she spoke, she fiddled with the unknown little white piece in her hand. Jiang Manqing's laughter made people feel cold and sinister for no reason. "I originally wanted to feed you this as well, but it is such a good thing. No matter how I think about it, I'm not willing to let you eat it unknowingly!"

Shen Mingxi just kept shrinking back. In her mind, it was also chaotic to the point that everything became a mess.

She did not know what Jiang Manqing gave her to eat but she clearly felt that the white piece in Jiang Manqing's hand must not be eaten.

Jiang Manqing was such a vicious person. Perhaps that small piece of thing would make her feel worse than death!

"I don't want it!" Her body was getting weaker and weaker. Shen Mingxi felt so uncomfortable that she shrank back and tried to keep a distance from Jiang Manqing.

"Don't want to?" Jiang Manqing did not stop and laughed coldly, "When you killed Yueran, why did you not think that she did not want to die?"

Explaining would not be of any use to Jiang Manqing.

Shen Mingxi tightly bit the corner of her lips. Jiang Manqing's approach made her extremely afraid and the fear in her eyes could not be any deeper.

Ring -

Her trembling left hand, for some unknown reason, actually ran into the crying bell at the head of the bed. When the clear sound of the silver bell rang in the ward late at night, Jiang Manqing's mean and malicious smile froze. Even the movements of her hands suddenly stopped.

"Shen Mingxi! Don't think that you can escape. Even if Situ Ye won't tell you, he will definitely torture you to death and avenge Yueran!"

Before leaving, Jiang Manqing glared at Shen Mingxi fiercely. She did not expect that she would actually ring the call for help.

After she finished speaking, the sound of the door closing sounded behind her urgently. There was not even time for Shen Mingxi to react.

But Jiang Manqing's quick action still made Shen Mingxi unable to help but sigh in relief.

After two seconds of silence, the sky and earth filled with sorrow as if it was going to drown her entire person.

Shen Mingxi took a deep breath and couldn't help but think of Situ Ye. Even if he wanted her to live a life worse than death, he still had to fake someone else's hand.

Furthermore, the Situ's was the Situ family's own hospital. Was he afraid that the news would leak out?

A familiar handsome face gradually appeared in her mind. Shen Mingxi couldn't help but bitterly smile. What kind of person was Situ Ye? In her heart, he had become even more mysterious and strange!

Just as Jiang Manqing left, two nurses hurriedly opened Shen Mingxi's ward door.

"Miss Shen, what happened?" One of the nurses was the first to walk in front. When she saw Shen Mingxi's big watery eyes, she seemed to be relieved but still asked dutifully.

The reason why she rushed over in the middle of the night was because of Shen Mingxi's extraordinary identity. If there was any problem in the ward... At that time... If Situ Ye blamed them, not only them, but even the attending physician... It would not matter!

Shen Mingxi was half lying on the bed. Her body was sore and weak, making it impossible for her to move at all. When she saw the nurse's worried look, she only felt a strong sense of irony.

After a moment of silence, she finally smiled lightly. "I feel like I don't have strength all over my body. I can't even move!"

No matter what kind of ideas Jiang Manqing and Situ Ye had, she currently had no way to fight against them. The only way was to make herself better as soon as possible.

"Then I will inform the doctor on duty immediately!" The nurse nodded and signaled the nurse behind to help Shen Mingxi look at her injury. She turned around and quickly left.

As the saying goes, one does not have strength all over one's body. After the doctor roughly examined her, his surprised gaze fell on Shen Mingxi's innocent and pale face again and again.

"What's wrong?" Shen Mingxi frowned as well. Her amber eyes closely followed the doctor's eyes. "Is there a problem?"

The doctor hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still shook his head. "I'm just a little tired. I'll prescribe some medicine later. You can sleep after taking it!"

How could there be no problem?

The body was hers and Jiang Manqing had also said earlier that Shen Mingxi was clearer about her physical condition than ever. After secretly smiling bitterly in her heart, she lightly nodded. "Okay!"

The doctor hurriedly went out. In less than five minutes, a large amount of medicine was delivered to Shen Mingxi's hands.

"After eating it, Miss Shen can rest first. It is only in the middle of the night and I can still sleep for a few more hours!" The nurse smiled. Her innocent face did not have any impurities at all.

If Situ Ye wanted her to die, he could let her die anytime and anywhere. If he wanted to add something else in the medicine, it would be too easy to die like this.

Shen Mingxi believed that Situ Ye would not be so stupid. Without hesitation, Shen Mingxi raised her head and swallowed all the medicine in an instant. Then, she took the glass of water from the nurse's hand.

-

Rose Manor.

Situ Ye did not sleep for the whole night.

Although he had accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction towards that stubborn little girl, in the huge bedroom... It was as if there was still a lingering scent of her left here, lying on the soft bed. Until dawn, he was still unable to fall asleep.

"Ring..." The sky had already begun to brighten. The clear ringing of the phone instantly broke the silence in the early morning.
