In the middle of August, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. The entire capital was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, bustling with noise and excitement.
In a mental hospital located at the edge of the bustling city, a girl lazily leaned against the door of a room on the west side of the second floor. She wore a white and blue striped hospital gown. Her eyes were clear and cold, occasionally filled with killing intent.
She glanced at her stepmother, who was rambling on about her mother. She lowered her head, smiled, and played with the toy dagger in her hand.
She seemed to be careless, but every time she threw the dagger, the distance between the dagger was very balanced.
Her two sleeves were neatly rolled up, revealing a hideous scar on her left wrist. But the girl didn't care, only occasionally sweeping her gaze over the two people in the room.
Her stepmother, Ruan Wanluo, and her stepsister, Chu Xi.
"Sister, mom knows that today is the day of reunion, so she especially persuaded father to pick you up. You really hurt mom's heart." Chu Xi's well-behaved face showed a sad expression.
A small white hand was placed on Chu Ning's injured wrist and squeezed hard.
Chu Ning frowned and pulled her hand back.
Chu Xi fell to the ground and looked at Chu Ning in disbelief. Two streams of tears rolled down her face as she questioned: "Sister, why did you push me? Qian 'er knows that sister is sick. Qian' er won't be angry with sister, and I won't go back and fight with you for father. "
Ruan Wanluo angrily glared at Chu Ning and went forward to help Chu Xi up.
Chu Ning put away the dagger, still looking indifferent: "I'm not sick, and I didn't push her."
Chu Xi's white dress was stained with dust. Turbid tears rolled down her face as she weakly leaned into Ruan Wanluo's arms: "Wuwu, I'm useless. Sister didn't push me. Mom, don't blame sister."
Ruan Wanluo was famous for being noble and elegant. She loved her daughter the most. Now that her daughter was wronged, she was extremely angry.
She pointed at Chu Ning and scolded, "If you didn't push Qian 'er, would Qian' er have fallen down by herself? If you're not sick, why would you come to a mental hospital? I shouldn't have brought you back today for the sake of your dead mother! "
Ruan Wanluo held Chu Xi's face in distress. "Qian 'er, I'm sorry. I've wronged you."
Just as she finished speaking, an angry roar came from the corridor. "Ning 'er, are you bullying your sister again?"
The man walking towards her was wearing an exquisite suit, but because of the anger on his face, it made him look even more out of place.
A different emotion flashed across Chu Ning's cold and unruly face, but it was quickly covered up by her indifference. Just like the dagger in her hand, no one dared to approach her.
Seeing Chu Ning's cold expression, Chu Zhengde felt his heart ache. However, when he thought of his daughter's illness, he could only swallow his anger. He snatched the dagger from Chu Ning's hand and scolded, "You're already an adult. Don't you know that this kind of thing is dangerous?"
Chu Ning leaned against the door frame, her posture casual. Just like her words, she said casually, "That's a toy."
A nurse walked past and couldn't help but look at Chu Ning a few times.
"Wow, that girl is so cool."
Chu Zhengde weighed the dagger. It was indeed a very similar toy. He then looked at the others who were looking over. His face turned red and he coughed a few times. "How old are you? You're still playing with toys. Don't you know that you'll scare your sister?"
The man looked at Chu Xi awkwardly. Chu Xi sobbed a few times to help her father out. "Dad is right. Moreover, you're better now. Don't play with this kind of thing. Otherwise, Dad will be embarrassed again."
Chu Zhengde glanced at his eldest daughter and sighed in the end.
Ever since his daughter was seven years old and got into a car accident because of Xueyun's death, she lost her memory. She became more and more indifferent and eccentric.
Later, he heard that his daughter became indifferent because she lost her mother's love. So, he found a divorced woman with children to take care of Limes.
Unexpectedly, as they grew older, Limes, who was his biological daughter, became more distant. Instead, Qian 'er, who was not related to him by blood, became more intimate.
Chu Zhengde rubbed Chu Xi's head lovingly and said with a smile, "Qian 'er, don't be angry with your sister, okay? Dad will buy you your favorite Xiang Xue 'er necklace when we go back today. "
Chu Xi hugged Chu Zhengde happily. "Dad, you're so nice."
"Haha, Qian 'er is nice too," Chu Zhengde said with a smile.
Chu Xi poked her head out from Chu Zhengde's arms and smiled at Chu Ning proudly. "Dad loves me the most. I'm the only one who has the Xiang Xue 'er necklace."
Chu Ning ignored Chu Xi and turned to leave indifferently.
"Sister, where are you going? Aren't you coming home with us? "Chu Xi suddenly asked.
Chu Zhengde also turned around. Seeing Chu Ning's back view, the anger in his heart couldn't help but rise again. This daughter of his was really too outrageous. She didn't even say goodbye and left!
"Chu Ning, where are you going?"
Chu Ning stopped but didn't turn around. "The discharge procedures are done. Of course, I'm leaving."
"You, you stinky girl, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's have a reunion dinner tonight. Do you hear me?" Chu Zhengde shouted, but Chu Ning acted as if she didn't hear him and left without looking back.
Ruan Wanluo supported Chu Zhengde and tried to appease him. "It's not like you don't know that Ning 'er has been like this since she was a child. But today is the Mid-Autumn Festival and you're her biological father. She'll definitely come back."
Chu Zhengde calmly pulled his hand away. "Sigh, it's been hard on you all these years. If only Ning 'er was half as good as Qian' er. "
Chu Ning heard every single word of the conversation between the husband and wife.
Chu Ning clenched his fists tightly, but there was no expression on his face.
She was long gone from that reunion dinner. They were a real family. She and her mother, whose life and death were uncertain, were just superfluous.
At the same time, on the second floor opposite.
On the balcony that was neatly placed with potted flowers that did not match the season, stood a ruffian man.
With a cigarette between his fingers, a thin layer of smoke rose from the cigarette. That handsome and flamboyant face faintly revealed a determined smile.
That smile didn't stop until Chu Ning's back disappeared.
Waves after waves of screams came from the room, but it didn't move this ruffian man at all.
Not long after, a man dressed in a white lab coat also walked to the balcony. He was handsome, gentle, and cold.
An internationally renowned psychologist and doctor, Ye Muchuan.
He was also Han Hengchuan's good friend.
Ye Muchuan came to the man and said with a frown, "I've found out that Xu Wu had already bribed the doctors here. He was diagnosed as a mental patient. The murder of you in the mountains was also premeditated. It's just that before we could find out the person behind him, he died. "
Ye Muchuan took a look at Han Hengchuan who didn't seem to care and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Don't you care about your own safety at all? Also, why do you keep looking at the other side? "Ye Muchuan had a feeling that the eunuch was more anxious than the emperor. At the same time, he also looked at him.
"Muchuan, I've found my true love," said Han Hengchuan and turned around with a smile.
Ye Muchuan looked at those familiar faces and found it hard to digest.
"You're talking about the high school student opposite us? Chu Xi? Although she's the stepdaughter of the Chu family and has the title of a little genius, she's still too young.
Moreover, she used to follow you around and express her feelings for you, but you didn't feel anything for her. "
Ye Muchuan was Han Hengchuan's brother since they were young. Of course, he knew Han Hengchuan's character. Although Han Hengchuan was a frivolous person, he had never seen Han Hengchuan say such words.
For a moment, he found it hard to accept and said more.
Han Hengchuan glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. "Did I say it's her?"
"Then?"
"Check the mental patient sitting across from us."
Ye Muchuan couldn't help but cough. "You're talking about the mental patient opposite us? You actually … I remember now, the person opposite us should be Chu Xi's elder sister, the real young lady of the Chu family, Chu Ning. "
This was even harder to accept. It was still okay to like the little genius Chu Xi, but Chu Ning … was a mental patient.
Even if he said this himself, no one would believe him. Han Hengchuan, the crown prince of the capital, had both wealth and power in his hands. He was also the only heir of the most influential family in the capital, the Han family. How could he … They should not have met much, right?
Even if they did, it was when they were young. At that time, Chu Ning was only seven years old. After that, Han Hengchuan went abroad and they never met again.
"You care about her a lot?" Han Hengchuan did not know what Ye Muchuan was thinking. He looked at Ye Muchuan unhappily, but in his heart, he muttered Chu Ning's name.
"At that time, because of your matter, I did a background check on the patients in the hospital. Her file was very short, so I took a look at it.
I heard that she slit her wrists to commit suicide and hit her stepmother. After that, she was sent here. Today, they should be here to pick up Chu Ning. "
Ye Muchuan could only explain helplessly under Han Hengchuan's gaze.
This seemingly frivolous son of an aristocratic family, the crown prince of the capital, was actually more difficult to deal with than those big shots in the industry.
Han Hengchuan pressed the cigarette in his hand into the flower pot and said in an extremely domineering tone, "Don't have any ideas about her. Chu Ning can only be mine."
Then, without looking sideways, he strode away and caught up with Chu Ning, who was wearing a hospital gown at the entrance of the hospital.
Chu Ning was on the phone when he was suddenly blocked by a man. He said a few words to the other party, hung up, and looked coldly at Han Hengchuan.
"Scram!"
Not only did the man not move aside, but he boldly looked at Chu Ning's face. His words were light: "Little beauty, my name is Han Hengchuan, your future husband."
Chu Ning's face was full of black lines. He immediately started fighting with his opponent. To his surprise, he found that his opponent was able to dodge every time he attacked.
He couldn't help but be vigilant and treat him seriously. However, the other party only focused on defense and did not attack.
Chu Ning started to get angry, but Han Hengchuan changed his stance and successfully pulled Chu Ning into his arms. "Woman, you're mine. Don't even think about running away."
Han Hengchuan quickly kissed Chu Ning's lips, separated from her, and got into a black Rolls-Royce.
When Chu Ning ran over, she only saw a smirking face in the slowly rising car window and the shadow of a car driving away.
!!!
"Don't let me catch you!" Chu Ning angrily wiped her lips with the back of her hand.
A moment later, she looked at the back of her hand in a daze. "I didn't feel disgusted or have a rash after being kissed by him."
The Chu family of three had just come out of the mental hospital. Father Chu was putting things in the trunk of the car. Chu Xi was standing at the door, motionless and staring blankly ahead.
Ruan Wanluo saw that her precious daughter was standing still and asked, "Qian 'er, what's wrong?"
"I saw …" Chu Xi was halfway through her sentence when she subconsciously covered her mouth and shook her head. She gave Ruan Wanluo an obedient smile. "It's nothing, mom. I was just wondering if my sister would come back for the reunion dinner today."
When Chu Xi looked ahead again, she didn't see Han Hengchuan or Chu Ning. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
Did she see wrongly?
