Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 163 Should I believe him?

Meng Zhiling had no choice but to wait until the experts came to work during the day. Now, she was not sure about Mingzhu's condition and did not dare to give her any medicine casually.

As the two were looking at the strange Mingzhu with frowns, a hurried sound of footsteps came from afar and finally stopped in front of Mingzhu's ward.

"Zhiling, how is Mingzhu?" Meng Zhiling turned her head and saw Mingyi's nervous face appearing at the door. She immediately rushed up and told him the answer with her fist.

Ming Yi was caught off guard and staggered by the punch. When he regained his balance, he realized that Meng Zhiling's punch was merciless. He licked the blood from the corner of his mouth. Finally, when Meng Zhiling was about to throw another punch, Ming Yi quickly grasped Meng Zhiling's fist and said, "Zhiling, I'm sorry!"

"What's the use of saying sorry? Now that things have happened, didn't you promise me that my mother would be unharmed? Look at yourself now, look at what she has become!" Meng Zhiling grabbed Ming Yi's clothes and pulled him to the side of the bed.

When Ming Yi saw Ming Zhu's appearance, he could no longer control himself. It was as if the sky had fallen down, and he suddenly knelt on the ground.

Holding Mingzhu's cold hand, he said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Repeating these three words over and over again,

Seeing his moved and trembling tone, even Meng Zhiling's intention to blame him was reduced by half.

Indeed, Ming Yi cannot be blamed entirely for this matter. Didn't Qiao Surong just say that no one in the Ming family can be completely trusted? Even if Ming Yi treats himself and Mingzhu very well, he may have more important things in his life and may not put this little bit of family affection first, so it is inevitable that he will be negligent.

After a long time, Ming Yi finally came out of his sadness and self-blame and came to Meng Zhiling. "I'm sorry, Zhiling. You can beat me, scold me, or even kill me. It's all up to you. I was careless and I deserve to die. If I hadn't gone out of town today, this wouldn't have happened."

"Meng Meng..." Meng Zhiling accidentally raised her hand. Qiao Surong could see that there was energy in it. If she slapped her, the defenseless Ming Yi would definitely die. He immediately grabbed her arm and stopped her.

"Why are you stopping me?" Meng Zhiling stared at Qiao Surong with red eyes. At this time, she just needed to find a way to vent her emotions. Now that Ming Yi was here, it just so happened that Ming Yi was the best target to vent her emotions.

"Meng Meng, even if you kill him now, it will be useless, and it will only make your relatives sad and your enemies happy. Calm down. Now is not the time for you to blame me and me to blame you. The most important thing now is to find out the cause of your aunt's illness and prescribe the right medicine." Qiao Surong said gently to Meng Zhiling. Killing Ming Yi now will not benefit them at all, but will cause more trouble.

"Okay, I'll forgive you today, but I will always remember what happened today." Meng Zhiling finally withdrew her hand and calmed down.

The next morning, Mingzhu was still in a "semi-sleeping" state, that is, her eyes were open, but her body and consciousness seemed to be asleep. After she finished all the examinations, a large room full of "family members" came into the ward.

First, Wang Yumei rushed to the bedside and stroked Mingzhu's forehead with her hand. "My poor child, how could this happen? I was at home all day yesterday. How did you get kidnapped?"

Wang Yumei held the Buddhist beads in one hand, and her compassionate tone and self-blame were fully demonstrated, just like an award-winning veteran artist who integrated the performance into her life.

"Okay, stop crying wolf. Why did so many of you come here? Who are you performing for? Me? I'm sorry, but I'm best at holding grudges, not appreciating favors. I advise you to go back. The hospital is an unlucky place and not suitable for people like you." Meng Zhiling watched Wang Yumei's performance coldly, and finally sneered, looking at the people in the room and said indifferently.

"Hey, kid, why are you so ignorant? My mother brought us to see you because she felt sorry for you and your daughter. How dare you talk to my mother like this? It doesn't matter even if you don't recognize us, but it's true that my mother is your grandfather's wife now. She is your elder after all. You are so uneducated to talk like this. You are really a mother who gave birth to a child but not a mother who raised him!" Meng Yu's sharp voice immediately stood up for Wang Yumei.

Wang Yumei is old and no longer wants to compete with the world, but that doesn’t mean she has no one to talk to.

Meng Zhiling smiled at Ming Yu. Ming Yu felt a chill coming from the soles of his feet and shivered inexplicably. Then, with a random "pop", crisp applause echoed in the ward. No one saw how Meng Zhiling attacked or how she stopped. The reason was that she had been standing at the head of Mingzhu's bed. Logically, she had no chance to hit Ming Yu.

In fact, everyone was wrong. The person who hit Mingyu was not Meng Zhiling at all. It was just that everyone's eyes were on Meng Zhiling at the moment.

"Dad, you actually hit me for a stranger?" Ming Yu covered her face and looked at Ming Shunde who was standing next to her with a serious face. She felt wronged and angry.

For half of her life, she has been the apple of her parents' eyes. Everyone pampers her at home and gives in to her outside. The slap she received today was the first one she had ever received in her life.

It made her want to die more than anyone else.

"She is not an outsider, she is my granddaughter, and the one lying on the hospital bed is my eldest daughter, your elder sister. Zhiling is a miserable child. Does the way you speak reflect your high upbringing? Did I teach you like that when you were a child?" Ming Shunde pointed at Ming Yu angrily and told her the reason, trying to convince her.

"I'm sorry, Dad!" No matter how fierce Ming Yu was, she didn't dare to challenge Ming Shunde's authority. She immediately admitted her mistake and gave in.

"What's the use of saying sorry to me? Go apologize to your elder sister and Zhiling." Ming Shunde was too lazy to look at her, turned his head and said lightly.

Meng Zhiling had been watching them acting out of curiosity. Only Ming Shunde couldn't tell whether they were acting or were sincere. In short, no one had expected Ming Yu to be beaten.

"There's no need for an apology. Just don't bother us in the future. Oh, I forgot to tell you that I never accept apologies. If apologies were useful, why would there be so many violent incidents in this world?" Meng Zhiling said with a sweet smile. That smile, coupled with the last sentence, was mixed with a strong sense of threat.

Even the dumbest person can hear it.

"Girl, be merciful when you can!" Ming Shunde looked at Meng Zhiling and said slowly. It was both a piece of advice and a warning.

"What else?" Meng Zhiling smiled sweetly and looked into Ming Shunde's eyes needlessly. Perhaps, at that moment, Ming Shunde was sincere.

"Okay, you all go down and wait for me. Too many people in the ward will indeed affect the patient's rest." Ming Shunde said to his children and his wife. In this family, it seemed as if what he said was an imperial decree, but there were people who dared to disobey the imperial order, namely Meng Zhiling, Ming Yi and Mingzhu.

"Ming Yi, you should go out too. I want to talk to Meng girl alone for a few words." Ming Shunde looked at Ming Yi. Of course, he knew that even if he gave an order, he couldn't command Qiao Surong, so he simply didn't say anything. He said the second half of the sentence. Qiao Surongying should know what to do by herself.

Meng Zhiling just nodded at him, and then the two of them went out one after another, leaving only Meng Zhiling, Mingzhu and Ming Shunde in the ward.

"Just say what you want to say. Let's just say that you should stop with all the polite hypocrisy. I don't need it, and neither does my mother." Meng Zhiling asked with her arms folded across her chest, looking comfortable.

"First of all, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not protecting you well enough that this happened. Secondly, I think there might be a friend of mine who knows what's going on with Mingzhu, because he had a similar case many years ago." Ming Shunde looked at Mingzhu lying on the bed, feeling very guilty and distressed, and embodying the kindness of an old father perfectly.

But Meng Zhiling didn't dare to believe it easily. She didn't know whether he was acting deliberately or expressing his true feelings.

"Can I really trust you?" Meng Zhiling asked quickly, expressing her concerns.

"Haha, you can make your own choice, but I can speak from my conscience. I really want to help you, Mingzhu. It's not for anything else, but just to make it up to you and your mother. When you go there, you will still have the face to see your grandmother again." Ming Shunde is like other old people. He is over fifty years old and is about to die. He always has many insights and emotions about life.

"Let me think about it." Meng Zhiling also sighed. She was very confused now. Apart from Qiao Surong and Yuan Yongkai, she didn't dare to trust anyone else easily.

"Don't think about it. I can invite my friends over to perform the treatment right under your nose. You have to personally check everything, okay?" Ming Shunde gave in unconditionally in order to gain Meng Zhiling's trust.

Meng Zhiling looked straight into his pupils, those deep eyes, the sediment of years. Meng Zhiling looked at his calm expression and could not see through his heart at all. What was he hiding?

"You don't have to look at me like that. If you don't believe me, so be it. I won't force you to trust me or those who trust me." Ming Shunde smiled lightly. No one could be so magnanimous and relieved.

"Wait, I'll trust you one more time." Meng Zhiling said immediately as she saw him about to turn around.

Ming Shunde also smiled slightly, stopped, and nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Just remember, I won't harm you in the Ming family."

Ming Shunde turned and left after he finished speaking. Meng Zhiling still frowned, not knowing whether her choice this time was right or not, and whether she should trust the unfathomable Ming Shunde.

"What are you daydreaming about? Everyone has left." As Qiao Surong entered the room, he saw Meng Zhiling staring at Mingzhu. Thinking that she was under some evil spell, he quickly stepped forward and poked her.
