Tan mansion.

After Tan Xueqing entered the room, she stopped letting the servant girl serve her.

Without lighting the lamp, she sat by the window with a complicated expression. There was a vase there with a begonia in it.

After Tan Xueqing calmed down her breathing, the room was dead quiet.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded. Then, the door was pushed open and a gorgeously dressed woman walked in. Similarly, she did not ask the servant girl to enter the room.

She lit the candle and sat down opposite Tan Xueqing. She looked worried. “Xueqing, did you almost fall into the river today?”

Tan Xueqing nodded slowly, her handsome brows furrowed tightly. “There were many people at that time. 1 felt someone push me.”

The woman was angry and anxious. “It must be them. It must be them!”

Tan Xueqing recalled the scene at that time and couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine. “Mother, I’m already like this. Why aren’t they letting me off?”

The woman felt very sorry for her son. “Xueqing, you’ve suffered. I’m useless and can’t protect you…”

Tan Xueqing listened to the woman silently. When she was done, he said, “Mother, 1 want to discuss something with you.”

The woman quickly asked, “What is it?”

A pair of clear eyes appeared in Tan Xueqing’s mind. These eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. “The person who saved me today is very skilled in martial arts. I want her to come to our mansion to protect me.”

The woman was worried and said warily, “How do you know that she’s skilled in martial arts?”

Tan Xueqing recalled the scene and his eyes revealed admiration. “She grabbed my shoulder with one hand and pulled me back to the shore. It looked like it was done effortlessly.”

The woman did not believe it. “Is she really that powerful?”

Tan Xueqing had already made up his mind. “Mother, I’m not lying to you. She lives in the Chu Village. I’ll go to see her tomorrow. Mother, prepare some gifts for me.”

Seeing that her son was so determined, the woman did not say anything else. “Alright, I’ll prepare it for you.”

Tan Xueqing pursed his lips, hoping that Miss Chu would agree to help him.

In the Chu Village.

In the room, Chu Xuhua was lying on the bed. His back hurt so much that he did not dare to move.

Shen Ruyue sat by the bed and took care of him, her heart aching.

Chu Xuhua was injured because he wanted to protect her. Otherwise, she would be the one suffering the pain now.

However, it was Fan Jiayao’s fault. She didn’t cherish Chu Xuhua when she had him. Now that she had lost him, she regretted it and even took her anger out on Shen Ruyue.

Chu Qingzhi walked in. “Ruyue, Brother.”

Shen Ruyue immediately turned around, her eyes filled with surprise. “Qingzhi, you’re back?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “1 heard from Mother that Eldest Brother is injured, so 1 came to take a look.”

Shen Ruyue quickly stood up. “Qingzhi, Xuhua’s bones seem to be broken…” Then, she told her the whole story.

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Chu Xuhua. It seemed that he had suffered an undeserved calamity. Women were really trouble makers sometimes.

She checked Chu Xuhua’s back. It was not serious. “Brother, a bone in your back is a little off. I’ll fix it for you immediately. It will hurt a little. Bear with it.”

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Chu Xuhua’s forehead. “It’s okay. 1 can take it.”

The injury was at the back of his waist. Chu Qingzhi pressed her fingers on two special acupuncture points. Then, she exerted strength and then there was a cracking sound.

“Done.” Chu Qingzhi retracted her fingers. “Brother, don’t do too much heavy work for the next half a month.”

Chu Xuhua’s breathing quickened. He endured the pain and replied, “I understand.”

In the future, whenever he saw Fan Jiayao, he would take a detour. This woman had already gone crazy. Every time he saw her, he would have bad luck. It hurt.

Chu Qingzhi looked at the worried Shen Ruyue. “Ruyue, take care of Eldest Brother for this period of time.”

Shen Ruyue nodded shyly. “Got it.”

Ning Yuting watched this scene from the side and smiled, thinking to himself that this family was interesting.

Chu Qingzhi turned around and took Ning Yuting’s pulse. “You’re recovering very well. You’ll be able to get out of bed and walk in half a month.”

“Miss Chu, thank you.” Ning Yuting was sincerely grateful to this girl in front of him. If not for her, he would have long entered the netherworld.

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “You’re welcome. Rest well.”

“Ok.”

Chu Qingzhi left the room.

As soon as she walked out of the room, she was pulled into another room by Chu Qingshuang and Chu Eighth. Chu Qingyue and Chu Qingning followed behind, both of them looking at her with interest.

Chu Eighth made Chu Qingzhi sit down and said anxiously, “Fifth Sister, can you show us what gift Brother Jinghong gave you?”

Chu Qingzhi kept them in suspense and glanced at them one by one. “You all want to see it?”

The four girls nodded in unison. “Yes.”

Chu Qingzhi stood up and brought the flower basket over. “Qingshuang, bring four vases back tomorrow. I’ll put these flowers in the vases.”

Chu Qingshuang agreed without hesitation. “1 promise to bring it back tomorrow.”

Chu Qingzhi took the jewelry box and sat down. Actually, she was also very curious as to what was inside. She gently touched the box and slowly opened it…

“Wow, it’s so beautiful!”

“Is this a set?”

“Fifth Sister, Brother Jinghong is too good to you. One look and I can tell it’s extremely expensive.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at the gift and felt like she had eaten honey. “It’s indeed beautiful and expensive.”

There was a golden jade hairpin in the gift box. The hairpin was made of gold and was inlaid with a white jade flower. It was extraordinarily beautiful.

There was also a pair of light green earrings with emeralds hanging down as well as a necklace with pearls and agates.

Jinghong must have spent a fortune on these.

Chu Qingyue’s face was filled with a gentle smile and she was sincerely happy for Chu Qingzhi. “Fifth Sister, from the gifts, 1 can tell how much Jinghong likes you. You have to cherish him.”

“Second Sister, I know. As long as Jinghong doesn’t let me down, 1 won’t let him down.” Chu Qingzhi had never thought that she would be loved like this one day.

Chu Qingning looked gossipy. “But then again, Fifth Sister, when did you and Jinghong fall for each other?”

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment. “I can’t tell when. Anyway, when I found out that I liked him, that feeling grew stronger and stronger.”

Chu Qingshuang said, “Fifth Sister, when we saw Brother Jinghong confessing his feelings to you in front of everyone, we all felt happy for you.”

Chu Qingzhi touched Chu Qingshuang’s head. “You’ll also meet a man who likes you in the future.”

The four sisters looked at each other and smiled, silently looking forward to meeting their other half..
